there would be no justification what

would be like granting self-government
TO an Apache reservation under some
local chief; and this is no more altered
by the fact that the Filipinos fought
the SpaniardS than it would be by the
fact that Apaches have long been
trained and employed in the United
States army. and have rendered signal
service therein Just as the Pawnees did
under the administration of President
Grant; just as the Stockbridge Indians
did in the days of General Washing

There are now in the United States
communities of Indians which have
advanced so far that 1t has been posi-
BILE to embody them as a whole in our
political system, all the members of

zens. There are otller communities
where the bulk of the tribe are still too
wild for 1t to be possible to take such
step. There are individuals among

the population. be an oligarchy, which
would have to be supported 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
armed soldiers" are not now seriously
entertained by any human being; yet
they are precisely the objections urged
against the acquisition of the Philip
pines at this very moment. We are
making no new departure. We are not
taking single step which in any way
affects our institutions or our tradi.
tional policies. From the beginning We
have given widely varying degrees OF
self-gOvernment to the different terri
tories, according to their needs.
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling ''impe.
rialism" or 'militarism" involved in
the present development of that policy
of expansion which has been part OF
the history of America from the day
when she became nation. The words
mean absolutely nothing as applied to
our present policy in the Philippines
for this policy is only imperialistic in
the sense that .Jeffersons policy in Lou
isiana was imperialisuc; only military
in the sense that Jackson's policy to.
ward the Seminoles or Clusters toward
the Sioux embodied militarism: and
there is no more dangerof 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 rs large as
1t was in the days of Wayne: we have
not one regular for every thousand in
habitants. There is no more danger OF
draft than there is of the reintr0duc-
tion Of slavery.
When we expanded over New Mex

to / Immediately without the consent
of any other nation, 1t would work
widespread havoc, and he says so in a
straightforward manner. On the ques-
ton of expansion he is. equally
straightforward, but more extended in
his remarks.
Your columns will probably contain
at least synopsis of both letters-Mr.
Roosevelt's and Mr.. Bryan's-so that
it is unnecessary here to comment fur
ther on these documents.
One Of the notable features 70 the
Republican state convention was the
confidence felt by the delegates from
all parts of the state in the party's abil-
ity 10 carry the state in November.
Over and over again was heard ex-
pressed the sentiment, Il don't know
how things are in your county, but II
they are like they are in mine there
will be Republican tidal wave on
election day" These expressions
came from all parts of the state and In
dicate n general feeling that the people
of the state are tired of fusion AMI are
anxious to join themselves once more
to the party of progress and prosper
ity.
Another notable feature of the con-
vention was the absence of any serious
contests of any kind. There We're alb
sOlutely no contests ut all for creden
tials committee TO consider, and there
fore it was not necessary TO appoint
such a committee. When 1t came TO
the nomination of candidates, while
each county was glad TO have favor
ite son named for office, all were
equally anxious to secure harmony and
to make any necessary sacrifice in or
der to help towards redeeming this
state. Democrats have pointed to
this feeling as an evidence that the
Republicans do not expect to elect their
ticket: but the Democrats are wrong
in their explanation. The feeling is
very much the same as existed in 1894
At that time after two years of Waite's
misgOvernment, the Republicans felt

money he stated he would pay all this
money.
On the 30th OF July Richardson went
to DR.. Rau to have him perform an
operation on his eye. Dr.. Pau consid-
erred the case serious enough for an eye
specialist and referred him TO DR.. Asch-
man for treatment. He offered DR.. Rau

dered him. AS the doctor had no avail

Richardson he would give him The

check for $40 aud told him to take out
the money for his services Richardson
signed this check Charles Richard

He then went to DR.. Aschman. who
performed surgical operation on his
eye He gave him two checks, oae on.

on the 18th for SIS. On the strength Of
these checks he borrowed various SUMS
OF money. He told DR.. Aschman he i.ad
money in the bank on which he wrote
his checks and borrowed sums of s. and
SO on three different occasions.
DR.. AschmaE became suspicious on
account OF Richardson's presenting
chacks so frequently and teiephoned the

money in that bank or not. The bank
officers said they had never heard Of
the man, that he had no money there
and never was a deposItor at that bank.
He Immediately had warrants Issued
