IMPOSSIBLE To sII1RK.

America Has Duty and Honor to
Meet in the Philippines.
The progress of the war with Spain
flung into u hands Porto Rico, Guam
and the Philippines. By fair and open
treaty they passed to Dur sovereignty.
That sovereignty laid upon us
questions and launched us, with new
responsibilities, into the affairs of the
larger world. 1t set us into the ORR
ent at the very hour of the tremend-
Gus and awful Weakening of the DOR
mant Fast, close to the shores OF
China, thai hive of innumerable peo-
Piles. 1t lays upon us the question OF
the Philippines, with a sense of re-
sponsibility which no man with a con-
science car shirk. We could, like cow
ards, have turned these fair islands
over to anarchy and blood, or to be-
come the prey of the greedy powers OF
Europe, a bone of endless conflicts.
But we could, we al undertake the
sublime experiment of the ages. We
can put our energies, and
genius to the splendid task of giving
security to life and property, educa-
ton, the reign Of just laws, civil n
religious liberty, industrial and COM
mercial thrift, the whole structure OF
modern civilization, to the ten millions
of the Inhabitants of those rich n
fertile islands.
This latter magnificent undertaking,
under circumstances not of Its own
choice or foresight, has been the cleo
ton of our administration. It's pur-
pose is 10 protect the eighty tribes OF
the archipelago from each other, weld
them together in peace, give them as
complete liberty as our W states en-
Joy as quickly Is may be; to put them
in the way of such a career as no ORR
ental-Tropic has ever had the chance
to dream of. We have not bought
the Filipinos at 81 a head" With a
magninimity worthy of the rich re-
public, we paid Spain for her public
buildings and public property. Fol
her sovereignty we gave out the bur
fets of war. In all our procedures
there neither, has been or Is to be, any
element of Imperialism.
There is no swerving from the basic
principles Of Republican government
nor any ~disloyalty to the interests OF
liberty, We are In the Philippines
Justly, humanely and to stay for the
grandeur Of the future of n archl
pelago, and for hand In the great

emphasize the Twentieth century.
| Already our unquestioned footing In
the islands has given us a grand and
benefcent leadership In the world'a
problem Of the Chinese empire, such
as to be nigh the only hope of Its
peaceful solution. Now it is the Amer
leans business to look fairly In the
face of this vast and ~providential at
tude of world affairs and determine
whether it is wisest for us, in the
greatest crisis of modern time and
world to scuttle out Of the position OF
magnificent power and glorious OPP
portunity INTO which, without oHYr oWg4

ROOSEVELT IN THE WEST.

R. p. ClarksOn Describes His Stand
ing With the People.
Theodore Roosevelt has the affection
of the people of the Western states.
Each step in his career is watched and
followed with a depth of interest only
accorded those who have a fixed place
in our hearts. In thus establishing
himself with the Western people, in his
life in the West and as a leader of the
Rough Riders during the war with
Spain, he came into what was his own.
He has within him the qualities which
are possessed and admired in the
rugged West, and he has them in such
a degree as to naturally make him a
leader loved of all.
Roosevelt is a man of action. He is
direct, honest and courageous. He Is
practical and resourceful, n proves
himself the master of avery situation
In which he is placed. With intelligent
and we'll directed effort he surmounta
every obstacle barring the way to
achievement of desired ends. And
withal he does not stoop or cringe, but,
respecting others, he compels respect
for himself. OF such stuff are made the
men who have advanced the West to
its present position of power and in
huence. These qualities in combina-
ton have wrought the greatness of the
West, have brought material wealth
andAprosperity to it's homes, and made
it's voice a controlling power in the
halls of national council and legislation.
Theodore Roosevelt cannot rest on
duty done or }aurels won: With him
life is not lived until the last day Is
DONE. Accomplishment only invites to
preparation for other fields of useful
ness. This is the best Western spirit.
1t is the spirit that is building our
cities, laying our railroads, sinking
mines in our mountains and reaping
and marketing our srsat Aaryests.
Theodore Roosevelt is not alone popu-
lar in the West for what he has done,
but he is popular for what he is and
for what he will do, for the uncon-
auerable spirit that stirs and moves
within him.
Since the Spanish war Roosevelt has
moved steadily forward In a new field
of responsible civic duties. BY his adj
m~inistration of the affairs of the State
Of New York he has increased his fame
as a we'll rounded statesman. The boys
whom he led up San Juan Hill are
watching his course with affectionate
bride. They and their fathers and
brothers and friends are for him for
vice president, just as they would be
for him for president were he running
for that office of mans highest ambi-
A.. Ea hoe demonstrated his canacifv
and they know him thoroughly. SO their
hats are off for him.-R. P. Clarkson,

REPUBLICANS and
HOMESTEAD LAWS
THE PARTY CARRIED OUT ALL
THE PROVISIONS AIDING
SETTLERS.

1t is nov admitted that the free
homestead law of 1862 was one of the
most benef1cent as we'll as one Of the
most successful measures ever adopt
ed IN any country. It opened to Inn
mediate settlement millions Of acres
OF the public domain, carried to the
west thousands Of high-spirited
Americans from the Eastern states,
and drew from Europe millions Of
wealth-producing citizens. More than
any other legislation or influence, it
contributed to the development of the
Western states and to the rapid
growth of the nation in population,
producing capacity and wealth.
The homestead act a distinctively
a Republican The first bill,
introduced in 1855. passed the house
by a vote of 120 tn.76. All of the Re-
publicans except one voted for the bill.
They were supported by some Of the
Northern Democrats, but all of the
Southern Democrats except three vot-
ed against the bill. The senate vas
Democratic, and no vote was taken on
the bill in the upper house.
In March, 1860, Mr.. Lovejoy reported
the Grow homestead bill, and it was
passed by q vote Of lis to 65. All
the Affirmative votes except m were
from the free states. The senate
passed a different bill, and there was
a conference, which finally agreed
upon a modified bill. This bill was
vetoed, June %, 1860, by President Bu-
chanan.
In 1862, when the Republicans had a
majority of 80 in the house and IL in
the senate, a new homestead bill was
passed and signed by Abraham Lin
coin. The measure was framed by
Republicans and passed by Repub-
lican votes. At the same session were
passed the acts establishing a de-
partment of agriculture and providing
for agricultural colleges.
Later on, in 1864, 1870 and 1872, bills
were passed by Republican votes CIV
ing ex-Union soldiers special home
stead privileges. These acts encour-
aged thousands of soldiers, discharged
in 1865 and 1866, to emigrate from the
East and the Middle West to states
like Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, and
the latter came to be known as great
soldier commonwealth. There are
many reasons why Western farmers
should vote the Republican ticket, but
the legislation that gave homesteads
to millions is enough, in itself, to bind
the farmers of the West to the Re"
publican party.
