The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-10-05
"TlIERE Is No SUCH WORD As
RETREAT, BOYS; CHARGE"
Mckinley forty Years Ago and To-Day
Has the Same Principles.

"Thcre is no such word as retreat,
boys; charge"
These words were those Of Maj. Nc
Kinlcy nearly forty years ago They pie
ture the character OF the President or
to-day as Of the soldier of 1862.
Thomas O'Callahan, with one eye
blinded and one ear closed TO sound for
ever by bullet wound received under the
national colors at Gettysburg. is now
resident of Fort Collins. He served
through the war with distinguished BRAY
cry.
II served under President Mckinley
in 1863 and have met him frequently
since. Every meeting brings back to mo
one of the most patriotic expressions that
ever passed the lips of soldier. A pnr-
ty of forty men under the then MAJ.
Mckinley went on scouting duty. They
were pcrilous times then.
Gan went well until We reached the
top of hill and unexpectedly ran into
n body Of Johnnics' numbering between
500 and 400. They were in ambush,
drawn up in firing line and awaiting our
approach Our first knowledge of their
presence in the ambush was a volley
which brought down our three front fours
| of horses and men.
"Retrcat!' our captain shouted.
""rhere is no such word as retrent,
boys; charge" came q second order, this
| time from Maj. Mckinley, who, drawing
his sword, dashed ahead, followed by ev-
cry one of our men except those who bad
given their lives to the cause. The enc
my were completely astounded and at our
| charge retrcatcd in confusion"
Before we started on this scouting
expedition We were ordered to take three
days provisions. ] had sack Of pound
cd oats on the pommei Of my saddle.
After the rout OF the enemy J. turned
the oats ont to feed my horse, and found
fifteen bullets in the sack. Ny horse was
wounded, MS was Mai. McKinley's, and
his sword hilt was cut to pieces by bull
let's. Mai Mckinley laughingly called
attention to it, and at the same time
complimcnt;ns his mon OIL their bravery,
remarked
"'You have done me great favor,
boys, and il it ever lies il my power, IN
reciprocate.'

much later date for the sole purpose Of
justifying the extension of slavery into
the territories.
Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
ferson, the author of the declaration OF
independence, and Of the consent of the
governed" doctrine, saw no incongruity
between this and the establishment OF
a government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory; and he rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
ton of his principle, saying i'll language
which at the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of a word, though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizens are
as yet as incapable of self-government
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for a sin
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-goyernment should be intro
duced throughout the territory, but only
as the different parts became hit for 1t
and no sooner. This is just the policy
that has been pursued.
Fiiipinos oil Basis of indians.
In no part of the Louisiana purchase
was complete self-government introduced
for number of years; in one part of it,
the Indian Territory, it has not yet been
introduced. although nearly a century
has elapsed. Over enormous tracts Of 1t,
including the various Indian reserva-
tions, with territory in the aggregate
MS large as that Of the Philippines, the
constitution has never yet followed the
flag" the army officer and the civilian
agent still exercise authority, without
asking the consent of the governed"
We must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution. taking each sue
cessive step as it becomes desirable, and
accommodating the details Of our policy
TO the peculiar needs G. the situation.
But as soon as the present revolt is put
down and order established, It will I'M
doubtedly be possible to give TO the isl
ands a larger measure Of self-govern-
INIT than jefferson originally gave Loui-
siana.
Florida Got Like Philippines.
The next great step In expansion was
the acquisition Of Florida. This was
partly acquired by conquest and partly
by purchase. Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure In the acquisition.
II was taken under President Monroe,
the aftertime President John Quincy
Adams being active in securing the por-

establishment. Any territorial govern
ment we might establish would necessar-
lily, because of the population, be an oil
garchy, which would have to be support
ed By armed soldiers.
Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed in relation to an
"oligarchy" and EARNED soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the obJec-
tons urged against the acquisition of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Militarism Is Not Involved.
We are making no new departure.
We are not taking a single step which
in any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees of
selfgovcrnment TO the different terrific
rics, according to their needs.
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling imperial
ism" or "militarism" involved in the
present development Of that policy Of ex-
pansion which has been part of the his
tory of America from the day when she
became a nation. The words mean abso-
lutcly nothing as applied to our present
policy in the Philippines; for this policy
is only imperialistic in the sense that
Jefferson's policy in Louisiana was impe-
rialistic; only military in the sense that
Jackson's policy toward the Seminoles or
Clusters toward the Sioux embodied mill
tarism; and there Is no more danger of
its producing evil results at home now
than there was Of its interfering with
freedom under jefferson or Jackson, or
In the days OF the Indian wars on the
plains. Our army is relatively not as
large as it was in the days OF Wayne;
VIC have not one regular for every 1000
inhabitants. There is no more danger OF
a draft than there is of the re-introduc-
ton OF slavery.
Right TO Suppress Rebels.
When we expanded over New Mexico
and California we secured free govern
ment to these territories and prevented
their falling under the ''militarism" OF
dictatorship like that Of Santa Ana, or
the Imperialism" OF a real empire In the
DAYS OF Macmillan. We put a stop 10
imperialism in Mexico as soon as the
Civil War closed. We made a great
apti-imperialistic stride when we drove
the Spaniapds from Porto Rico and the
Philippines and thereby made ready the
ground In these islands for that gradu-
ally increasing measure OF self-govern-

chase. As In the case OF the Philippines,
Florida was acquired by purchase from
Spain, and in Florida the Seminoles, who
had not been consulted in the sale, re-
belcd and waged war exactly ms some
of the Tagals have rebcllcd and wagod
war in the Philippines. The Seminole
war lasted for many years, but Presi-
dents Monroe Adams and Jackson de-
clned for moment TO consider the ques'
ton of abandoning Florida TO the Semi
noles, or to treat their non-consent to the
government of the United States MS valid
reason Tor turning over the territory to
them.
Texas nni Alaska Were Accessions.
Our next acquisition OF territory was
that of Texas, secured by treaty after 1t
had been wrcsted from the Mexicans by
the Texans themselves. Then came the
acquisition of California, New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and parts Of Colorado
and Utah as the result of the Mexican
war, supplemented five years later by
the Gadsdcn purchase.
The next acquisition was that Of Alas
ka, secured from Russia by treaty and
purchase. Alaska was full Of natives,
! some of them had advanced well beyond
the stage Of savagcry and were Chris
tans. They were not consulted about
| the purchase nor was their acquiescence
required. The purchase was made by
the men who had just put through tri-
umphant war to restore the union and free
the slave; but none of them deemed 1t
necessary to push the doctrine Of the
| 90 IN n
sion so fantastic ms TO neccssitate the
turning over of Alaska to its original
owners, the Indian and the Aleut. For
thirty years the United States authori-
ties, military and civil, exercised the SUI
preme authority in tract Of land many
times larger than the Philippines, in
which it did not seem likely that there
would ever be any considerable body OF
white inhabitants.
Hawaii Disprovcs Danger Idea.
Nearly thirty years passed before the
next instance of expansion occurred
which was over the island OF Hawaii. An
effort was made at the end of President
Uarrison's administration to secure the
annexation of Hawaii. The effort was
unsuccessful.
In n debate in Congress on Feb. 2
1894, one of the leaders in opposing tho
annexation Of the islands stated: "Thest
islands are more than 1000 miles distant
from our extreme western boundary. w,

gle, and were confirmed to us by the
treaty of peace in 1873.
Yet the land thus confirmed was not
then given TO us. 1t was held by an
alien foe until the army under Gen. An
thony Wayne freed Ohio from the red
man, while the treaties of Jay and Pinck'
ney secured from the Spanish and Brit
ish Natchcz and Detroit,
Louisiana Purchase aud Philippines.
In 1903, under President Jefferson, the
greatest single stride in expansion that
we ever took was taken by the purchase
OF the Louisiana territory. This so-callcd
Louisiana, which included what are now
the States of Arkansas, Missouri, Louis
lana, Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebras-
ka, North and South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and large part OF Colorado
and Utah, was acquired by treaty and
purchase under President Jefferson OK
actly and precisely as the Philippines
have been acquired by treaty and pur'
chase under President Mckinley.
The doctrine OF "the consent Of the
governed" the doctrine previously cnun-
ciated by Jefferson in the Declaration Of
Independence, was not held by him or by
any other sane man to apply to the In
dian tribes in the Louisiana territory
which he thus acquired, and there was
no vote taken even Of the white inhab-
itants, not to speak of the negroes and
Indians, as to whether they were willing
that tlCir territory should be annexed.
The great majority OF the inhabitants,
white and colored alike, were bitterly OPP
posed to the transfer.
Jefferson Forced Consent.
An armed force Of United States sol
diers had to be hastily sent into the ter
rtory to prevent nsurrcction, President
jefferson sending these troops to Louisi'
| ana for exactly the same reasons and
| with exactly the same purpose that Pres
ident Mckinley has sent troops to the
Philippines.
jefferson distinctly stated that the
Louisianans were mot fit or ready fol
self-goyernment," and years elapsed be
fore they were given self-government
jefferson appointing the governor and
other officials without any consultation
with the inhabitants of the newly ac
quired territory. The doctrine that the
constitution follows the flag" was no
then even considered either by Jefferson
or by any other serious party leader, fol
it never entered their heads that new
territory should be governed other thar
in the way in which the territories Of
| Ohio and Illinois had already been gov
crncd under Washington and the elder
Adams; the theory known by this utterly
false and misleading phrase was only
struck ont in political controversy at {
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-10-05

There is every reason why ms rapidly
as an Indian, or any body Of Indians,
becomes ct for self-government, he or 1t
should be granted the fullest equality
with the whites; but there would he no
justification whatever In treating this
fact as a reason for abandoning the wild
tribes TO work out their own destruction.
Exactly the same reasoning applies in the
case OF the Philippines. To turn over
the islands 20 Aguinaldo and his follow
ers would not be to give self-g0vernment
to the islandersl under no circumstances
would the majority thus gain self-gov-
eminent. They would simply be put at
the mercy OF a syndicate Of Chinese half
breeds, under whom corruption would
flourish far more freely than ever IL -four

preston would obtain to a degree only
possible under such an olisarchy. Yours

BROWNINGTON US. BARTON AND

MR.. EDITOR:


In your issue Of the MONITOR of May
21st, notice an article over the sig
nature of Voter" giving statistics
showing the number of senators Bar
ton and Irasburgh have had the honor
of sending to the assembly during the
past thirty years. Now from looking
over the facts in the case I should say
that Irasburgh had done wrong in
taking advantage of a town like Bar
ton and ought to suffer for it.
think a few statistics showing the
senators accorded Bloomington during
the last forty years may be of interest,
and from the records obtainable and
at my command [ give the following:
We have not had the honor of
senator from our town since 1860, and
did not then. In 1870 it was thought
best to apply to headquarters for an
other senator, and we applied, and
soon received dispatch which was
brief and to the point, it read: estate
full; large towns must be served first,
you must wait" We were overjoyed
at the answer, ''large towns first" and
of course smaller towns next; what
better could we expect?
We lived on that until 1880, when we
began to think about the small towns
again. Of course we did not care
so much about our town, but we
thought one of the small towns of the
county might be heard. But after
careful deliberation we decided to ask
that our town be allowed to present
candidate for senator. The reply
startled US, it was, eff your town has
a lawyer we will back him as a candi-
date" but we did not have one and
they knew it and we were out again.
However we felt encouraged in antic-
ipation of having a,lawYer in our town
at some future time.
Everything ran smoothly with us
up to 1890 when the temptation again
came saying" Why don'tyo go in for
a senator this fall? You have plenty
of good material, merchants, mill.men,
farmers and doctor etc., We finally
held caucus and decided to try once
more. This time we found that our
geographical location in the county
was against US. We were told that in
order to get there, we must belong
either to the north end or the south
end, the east side or the west and by
careful surveying we found that we
were a few rods short of either. So
we got left. But we feel as a town
that we are on the road to success for
we pay OH bills, are out of debt and
are willing to help all who are worthy.

Col. Porter Ell. Dale spoke in Brad

earnest, forceful, impressive and elo-

Col. Dale touched on the Cuban,
Porto Rican, and the Philippine ques-
tions and gave in brief manner his
views on these matters which are agi-
tating the public mind to- day. While
there is of course diversity of opin-
ion as to the manner in which these
questions should be settled, we believe
that the views expressed by Mr.. Dale
would receive the hearty approval of
a majority Of the voters of the coun-
