THE CONSTITUTION AND THE PHILIPPINES.

The recklessnes with which some of
the republican speakers and few of
the republican papers discuss the poll
cy of the administration in the ORIENT,
is entirely lnexcusable. We are told
that in recent speech Congressman
Long stated that the administration is
enforcing the same pOlicv in Porto Rico
and the Philippines now that the DEM
ocrats enforced In the Louisiana terri.
tory in 1903 4. Mr.. Long admits that
the inhabitants of our recently acquir-
ed territory are not guaranteed protec-
tion under our constitution but. he
points to the Louisiana instance and
says the same thing was true of the
people of that territory.
Here is what article of the treaty of
October 81, 1903, says about it, fatty
contradlcting Mr.. Long This article
relates to the inhabitants of the Louisi-
ana territory:
The Inhabitants of the ceded territory shall
be Incorporated in the union of the U. g., and
admitted as soon as possible according to
the principles of the federal constitution, to
the enjoyment of all the rights. advantages
and immunities of the citiz ems of the United
States, aud in the meantime they shall be
maintained and protected in tho free enjoy
ment of their liberty, property and religion
which they profess
Contrasted with this, is article 9 of
the treaty of April IL, 1899, relating to
the inhabitants of Porto Rico, the La
drones ana the Philippines. Let MS see
what these people are guaranteed:
Spanish subjects, natives of the Peninsula,
may preserve their allegiance
to the Crown of Spain by making before O
court OF record, within "A year from the date
of the exchange OF ratiications of this treaty,
u declaration OF their decision topreserve such
allegiance, in default of which declaration
they shall be held to have renounced it and to
have adopted the nationality of the territory I'm
which they may reside. The civil rights and
political status of the native inhabitants of
the territories hereby ceied to the United
States shall be determined by the congress"
We do not see where there can be any
similarity between the two treaties. In
the case of the Louisiana territory the
Inhabitants had the benefit OF the con-
stltution Immediately willie those in
Porto Rico, the Ladrones and The Phil
lppines are entirely at Tie mercy of
congress and IN fact entirely in the
dark as To what disposition shall be
made of them. They are slaves in tho
full sense of the word and have no
rights whatever, and the only promise
they have is that congress will consid-
er their case. This is the way the
strong arm of the government deals
with the weak; IL is contrary to the
fundamental principles OF republican
form IF government.

AN investigation of the condi.
tlo2 of the strikers in the an.
thracite coalregions has revealed the
fact that wages are as low as thirty five
cents per day while coal has ad
Yanced SS8 per cent. Miners who do not
trade at company stores-that Is stores
operated by the mine owners-are dis
charged and others are employed who
will submit to paying excessive prices
for goods at these stores. In addition
to these impositions the miners live in
houses owned by the niue owners and
pay higher rents than are charged by
other house owners, and many OF the
miners are not permitted to work more
than three days in week. Is it any
wonder that they are striking? The
wonder is that they have stood 1t 81
long. You can't preach Mckinley anc
prosperity to those people.

MUCH has been said lately about Ger.
tain people in this county whose taxa
bic wealth has been increased during
the past few year, and the noticeable
feature about it is that our republican
friends point invariably to the men who
have been holding the offices. There
are few men who are actually IN bet
ter circumstances than they were few
years ago, but on the other hand how
many could be singled out who were in
comfortable circumstances then who
are bankrupt today. There are also
many people. who appear to be in good
shape so far as the tax rolls are con
cerned who. If their debts were forced
could not pay dollar for dollar. The
men who had money to invest have
made money, in some instances, but
those who depend on their day labor
and what they produce get no better
price now than they did before aud
they pay higher prices for everything
they buy.

DID he GET HIS PRICE?

Since the Klowa News has come out
for the entire republican ticket, great
many people are wondering what the
incentive was. Probably the following
which appeared in the Cresset last De-
cember will throw some light on the
subject. This article was inspired
when Tonk Mills filed his election ex-
penses. We publish this simply to
show the people of Barber county what
the republican paper of Medicine Lodge
thinks of its republican brother at Kio.
wa:
The editor of the News has always
posed as republican except during a
brief period when he was a candidate
before the first farmers alliance con-
vention ever held in this county. Fail
ing of nomination at that convention
he returned snorting like a spawned
war horse to the republican fold, charg-
ing that he had been betrayed by Harry
Lands.
"Since the News was first Issued 1t has
made loud professions of republican
faith, but each week it has jabbed its
prod at some republican, and its editor
has been doubled up with the stomach
ache, back-ache and fits over ring rule.
Though every republican in the county
favored the re- nomination of the re-
publican candidates last fall he pro-
tested that it was the work of the ring.
He came TO the convention as a dele
gate, but sat off in one corner by him

ty anu at the same time was iipgling in
his pocket the price Of his treason.
HE beloved like an Arkansaw bull
in fennel patch over the party man
agement. He prated about political
honesty until some thought him sincere
and now comes Mr.. Mills sworrl state,
ment which shows that all of Oscar
screenings has been at so much per
screech. He was fighting republican
candidates, while claiming to be the
most loyal of republicans, for fifty
pieces of silver.
During the early part of the cam
paign he wrote and put in type a very
complimentary article on Mr.. Gano's
candidacy and sent him a proof of it.
The same week Mr.. Mills was at Kiowa
and the article in reference to Mr.
Gano never appeared.
"All men will respect man who
makes an honest kick against what he
conceives to be wrong, but he who sells

the only candidate who contributed t

Whenever the republican
machine is downed by cold
facts OF record its organ says
it is misrepresentation and
villification." IF the INDEX has
misrepresented or villified
anybody IN this campaign
show it up. Mere assertions
prove nothing. This paper
has misrepresented nothing.
We have published matters
of record which the people
are entitled to know and if il
is hurting anybody it's not
our fault. The people have
a right to know why their

they can enforce a remedy If
