EOOSENELTS SPEECH.

Governor RooScyclt's speech last week
in ~. Paul. opening the Republican ma
tional campaign of 1900, is notable
chiefly for its lodging Of plain facts cal

for its forcing of Il comparison between
American expansion on this continent
and American Imperialism in the East

history which constitute anything bu;

the fallacy of The Republican argument
that this Government IS justified in ''cX-
pandins" imperially and by force of
arms in the Old Wurld because it cX-
banded legitimately. logically. peaceful

American people now see clearly the ali
surdity of defending Empire in the
Philippines on the grounds that such II
policy received its earliest Inauguration

Governor Roosevelt srudinusiy lodged
the issue created by our violation Of the
American Constitution in lcvying tax
tribute on the Porto Ricans for the
benefit of the Sugar and tobacco trusts.
He was daring enough to advance the
unfounded claim that we have 'estab-
lished a system in Porto Rico under
which the island is advancing by leaps
and bounds To prosperity" but lie did
not dare to plead for the CONSTITUTIONAL
ty of the ubiquitous Porto Kican tariff
bill. Nor, in discussing the Philippine
question. was he equal To the necessity
for denying The truth Of the Drclarsl-

GnING Too EAST.

President Mckinley should refrain
from making such declarations as that
wherein. after discussing the most re-
cent phases Of the Chinese situation. he
announces that the United States will
not declare war upon China on the
present showing OF facts, 10 matter
what other Powers may do
IL is for the Congress OF the United
. States, and not Mr.. Mckinley, TO say
Fhethel this Government will or will
hot declare var. The power To declare
Pwar is vested exclusively in Congress
and is a power Ia which Mr.. MckiI
ley's predecessors in the White House
have bowed with profound respect.
Mr.. Mckinley is riding his hobby of
Empire At too breakneck Il rate OF speed.
He has not yet reached that point on
the turnpike leading away from the
Republic and its principles where lie
may with safety claim the preroGatives
of the American Congress. He will
reach IL in time, If the American peo-
pie sanction his surrender of the Re
public To Empire. but the time is not
quite come yet. The President should
curb his imperial ambitions. If only 10
make the more certain of their ultimate
qualification.
