Honesty the Best Policy.

Washington Post IDperialistJ:
Why cannot we be honest in our
utteIances touching the territories we
have recently acquired? Really it
would save time and trouble, to say
nothing of life aud treasure, to come
out frankly with the announcement
that we have annexed these posses
sions in cold blood. and that we intend
to utilize them TO our profit and adj
vantage. All this talk about benevo-
lent assimilation; all this hypocritical
pretense of anxiety for the moral, So
cial and intellectual exaltation of the
natives; all this transparent parade of
responsibility and deep seated pur-
pose: all this deceives nobody, avails
nothing, helps Us not an inch in the
direction of profit, dignity and honor.
We all know, down in our hearts, that
these islands, groups. etc. are impor-
tant to u only in the ratio of their
practical possibilities. We value them
usefulness. and by no other. All this
gable about civilizing and uplifting
the benighted barbarians of Cuba and
LuZOn is mere sound and fury, signi-
tying nothing. Foolishly or wisely,
we want these newly acquired terri
tories, not for any missionary or al
truistic purposes, but for the trade,
the commerce, the power and the
money there are in them. Why beat
about the bush and promise and pro-
test all sorts of things? Why not be
honest? 1t will pay.
As Il matter of fact, we are not con-
cerned in the ethical or religious up
lifting of the Filipinos. After all, the
difference between breech-clout and
a starched shirt front is a mere matter
OF climate and personal opinion. Dis
honesty, untruth, crime and general
wickedness are here in our midst
present with us as part Of our daily
life and growing with our growth.
We need not 20 To the West Indies of
the Philippines in search of material
for moral rescue. Our own slums
abound with opportunities for mis-
sionary zeal. Why not tell the truth
and sav-what is the fact-that we
want Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
LuZon-togethcr with any other ISL
ands in either ocean that may CON-
mend themselves to our appetite
because we believe they will add TO
national strength. and because we
hope they will some day become pur-
chascrs at our bargain counters? We
might as well throw off the pious
mask and indulge ourselves in a little
honest candor. 1t VIII cost us moth
ing, and it may profit much. At any
rate, we shall have the comfort and
satisfaction of being honest with our
selves and the privileges of looking
into the mirror without blushinC.

The object in pursuing this course
is 10 become rapidly and personally

flicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before Feb. Is.
The doctors treat all forms of di-
sease and deformities and guarantee
a cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview a thorough eX-
animation - made, and, if in durable,
