and humane from the beginning
No false hopes were held ont. From
the dispatch Of May 2G onward the
attitude of our Government was
clear and unmistakablc. But every
real hope, every proper promise, was
freely offered and never violated.
There are many duties imposed on
a President in which it is easy to
imagine Il personal or selfish motive,
III which such motives might exist
even if they did not. But here even
the most malignant must be at a loss
to find the existence Of bad motive
possible. Suddenly, at the end Of
the Spanish war, we were confronted
with the question Of what should be
done with the Philippines. Their
fate was in our hands. We were all
able to discuss them and to speculate
as to what should be done. No re-
sponsibility rested upon us. But one
man had to act. While the rest of
the world was talking he had to be
doing. The iron hand of necessity
was upon his shoulder, and upon his
alone. Act he must. No man in
that high office seeks new burdens and
fresh responsibilities or longs to enter
on new policies with the unforeseen
dangers which lie thick along untricd
paths. Every selfish motive, every
personal interest, cried out against it.
Every selfish motive, every personal
interest urged the President to
let the Philippines go, and, like Gal
lilo, to care for none Of these THINGS.
1t was so easy to pass by on the other
side. But nc faced the new condi-
tlons which surgcd up around him.
When others then knew little he
knew much. Thus he came to see
what duty demanded, duty to our
selves and to others. Thus he came

# the Philippines, Senator Lodge

of the Philippines, Senator Lodge
said
"There is no reason to doubt that
in a comparatively short time peace
and order will be restored, and when
We are considering what burden the
possession Of the islands will impose
upon us we must proceed upon the
normal conditions of peace. Under
Spanish rule, with all its bad admin
istration and profound corruption,
the islands not only paid I'll their
expenses, but made at times at least
return TO the Spanish treasury.
With revenues well and honestly ad-
ministcred, and with wise and honest
expenditure, the islands in our hands
would not only easily pay all the ex-
pcnscs Of the military establishment,
but of the civil government as well,
and we could at the same time, by
our superior honesty and efficiency,
greatly Tighten the burden of taxa
ton. In word, the Philippine
Islands, as we should govern and
administer them, would be entirely
sclf-supporting and would throw no
burden of expense at all on the pco-
pie of the United States after peace
and order were once restored and
business was again flowing in its
normal channels"
MIR. Lodge drew luminous pic
turc of the commercial possibilities
Of the Philippines and of the enor-
moas advantages they would to the
| nltcd States, not only on account
OF their own fertility and richness of
resources, but because they are the

AN |MPER|AL|ST CHAMPION.
THE SPEECH OF SENATOR LODGE. OF
MASSACHuSETTS-H EXPATlkTES
ON THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Every Senator and Large Audience Was
Present to Hear the Speech.

Present to Hear the Speech.
Seldom, indeed, is it that the Ma
tional Senate accords to any Of it's
members greater compliment than
it accorded recently to Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts. The an
nounccment that he would deliver Il
speech on the Philippine question
was the magnet which drew to the
Senate every Senator in the city and
to the galleries an unusually large
number Of attentive auditors.
AS chairman of the Philippine
committee, and a prominent MEM
Der OF the committee on foreign re-
lations, who had studied the Philip
pine question cxhaustively, he pre-
sentcd a notable addition to the
literature OF this great problem
which now confronts Congress and
the American people. Senator Lodge
then spoke. Ills speech lasted three
hours and was based upon the
Spooner resolution authorizing the
President to govern the Philippines
pending Legislation by Congress. lie
said in part:
SENATOR LunGE's SPEECH.
"rhis bill is simple, but all sulli-
cicnt. 1t makes no declarations and
offers no promises As to a future we
cannot yet predict. 1t meets the
need of the present and stops there.
The President, under the military
power, which still controls and must
for some time cont 81 the islands,
could do all this bill provides. But
it is well that we should have the
direct authorization OF Congress.
10 undertake any further or more
farreaching Legislation at this time
would be, in my Judgment, great
mistake. But believe it to be OF
great Importance TO define our posi-
ton, 80 that it may be ~ 'rfcctly un-
lcrstood by the inhabitan,s Of the
Philippines, as well as by our own
people,"
After saying that he had been un-
able to discover what policy his po-
lLral opponents proposed, Mr.. Lodge
continued
eve have presented to us, it is
true, the policy desired by Aguinaldo
and his followers, that We should ac-
knowledge him as a government, en-
force his rule upon the other eighty
three tribes and upon all the other
islands and then protect him from
foreign interference. This plan,
which would involve us in endless
wars with the natives and keep us
cmbroilcd with other nations, | ads
us with responsibility without power
and falls into ruin and absurdi,y the
moment it is stated.
"Anothcr proposition is that we
should treat the Philippines as wc
treat Cuba. That iA precisely what
We are doing. But what is really
meant by this demand is not that we
should treat the Philippines as we
treat Cuba, but that we should make
to them promise as to the future.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
Girl Assaulted and Then Hacked to
Pieces by Fiends for Revenge.
THE CHILD OF FORMER IOWA PEOPLE,
sloodhounds in Pursuit-Fiends Will
Be lynched if caught-Friends of
Train Robbers Who Were Captured
by Girls Father Do Dastardly Work.

MT. Pleasant, Nov. 14.-For the pur-
pose of revenge, hideous crime was
committed by unknown men near Lii
mon, Colorado, last week. Little Louise
Frost, whose former home was near
Mt. Pleasant, and whose parents are
we'll remembered in this vicinity, was
criminally assaulted and then hacked
to death with knife by fiend in the
garb of human being. Bloodhounds,
assisted by posse of men gathered
from hundreds of miles around the
scene of the tragedy, are now in pur-
suit Of the perpetrators of this horri-
BILE outrage and if they are caught it is
a settled fact that their lives will not
last longer than a crowd of determined
men can give them their just deserts.
Mr.. Frost, formerly was well known
in Mt. Pleasant. He married Miss Ma
ry Mallams, of this city, in 1887. They
lived in Kearney, Nebraska, for short
time, and then moved to Colorado
where they made their home on a
ranch near Limon. Last July it will
be remembered that the Union Pacific
train was held up and robbed by two
masked men, and William Fay, an
aged man, was shot and killed by the
pdlluilS. LII lile pOSSS WHICH pursued
and captured the robbers was R. w
Frost, and the hideous crime of muir
dering Louise Frost is attributed to the
revenge taken by some outlaw frienus
of the train robbers. The girl was
caught on the road, and after a des
perate resistance was overcome. Fear
| ing discovery, her assailant stabbed
her to death and fed. The next day
Eher mutilated body was found.
The crime has shocked the state O.
Colorado and no effort will be spared
to punish the criminal. A marked
necktie torn from the throat of the
murderer is the only clue, but by thi!
means the authorities say they will
find the guilty party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frost are broken
hearted over the fearful tragedy, ant
will probably move from their rancl
to Denver. Their friends in this vicin
ity will regret to learn of the Grim,
which brings desolation to their home
