Did it ever occur to you how much
easier it is to stand back and find fault
than it is to take hold and do? You
then can appreciate the situation of the
so-called Democratic party. 1t never
was more completely befuddled than
during the four years from 90 to 90,
it was trying to administer the affairs
of this nation. Cleavage between Dem
ocracy and Popocracy then began to
weaken and disintegrate. And now
the latter is right in its element strut
ting around and Dragging Of what it

No Responsibility Without Authority.
(OutlOOk.)


In other words. Mr. Bryan proposes
that this country in its dealings with
the Philippines. shall divorce RESPONSE
bility from authority. He proposes to
establish a stable form Of government
i'll the Islands. and to protect it from
all outside interference leaving it free
At the same time to take its own
course in regard to its own people and
To foreign governments. 1t is to have
free hand to do what it chooses and
the United States is to be responsible
for its acts. Under this policy an in
surrection against such a government
might take the same course which the
Boxers have taken in China it might
imprison or murder foreign representa-
tives. and then leave the United States
government to defend the Filipino ac-
ton and to protect the Filipinos from
the just punishment of Europe. The
Outlook has many times pointed out
the impOssihility Of divorcing authority
from responsibility; Of protecting a
government which is free TO do justice
or injustice as it chooses, to Cypress
its own citizens, to violate treaties, to
destroy the property Of the citizens Of
other countries. The United states did
not voluntarily take up the duty Of
keeping order in the Philippines and o.
protecting the rights Of its people and
Of the people Of other countries in the
islands; that duty was thrust upon it.
1t cannot withdraw until that duty has
been performed. 1t is duty which
must be discharged. and it can be dis
charged only by restoring order, open
ing courts, establishing schools, and
protecting men of all countries in their
yocations and their property; in other
words. in doing precisely what the
United States has been trying to do
and has largely succeeded in doing.
Responsibility and authority, or re-
sponsibility divorced from authority.
are the two policies now before the
American people.
