Our whole History Encouragement for
Their Resistance.
IF it is right for the United States
to hold the Philippine Islands perma-
nently and initiate European empires
in the government of colonies the Re-
publican party ought to state its po-
sition and defend 1t, but it must expect
the subject races to protest against
such a policy and to resist to the ex-
tent Of their ability. The Filipinos do
not need any encouragement from
Americans now living. Our whole his
tory has been an encouragement, not
only to the Filipinos but TO all who
are denied voice in their own gov
ernment If the Republicans are pre-
pared to censure all who have used
language calculated to make the Fill.
pinos hate foreign domination let them
condemn the speech of Patrick Henry.
When he uttered that passionate APP
peal, "Giye me liberty or give me
DEATH" he expressed a sentiment which
still ach0es in the hearts of men. Let
them censure Jefferson, >
Washington. Lincoln. :
4 Some one has said that a truth once
spoken can never be recalled. :
But If it were possible to obliterate
every word written or spoken in de-
Tense of the principles set forth in the
Declaration of Independence a war of
conquest would still leave its legacy Of
perpetual hatred, for it was God him
self who placed in every human heart
the love of liberty. He never made
race of people so low in the scale OF
civilization or intelligence that it would
welcome foreign master. Lincoln said
that the safety of this nation was not
Ia its fleets. It's armies or it's forts, but
in the spirit which prizes liberty the
heritage of all men, in all lands, ev-
erywhere; and he warned his country
men that they could not destroy this
spirit without planting the seeds of
cespotism at their own doors.
Those who would have this nation
enter upon 4 career of empire must
consider not only the effect Of imperial
Ism on the Filipinos, but they must
also calculate its effect upon our own
nation. We cannot repudiate the prin.
ciple Of self government in the Phillip
pines without weakening that prin-
ciple here. Even now we are beginning

Our opponents, conscious of the
weakness of their cause, seek to con

with such precision that no one can be

ton In the Philippines.
When our opponents are unable to
defend their position BY argument
they fall back upon the assertion that
1t is destiny. and insist that we must
submit to it, no matter how much ii
violates moral precepts and our prin-
elples Of government. This is a com
pIacent philosophy. 1t obIiterates the
distinction between right and wrong
and makes individuals and nations the
helpless victims Of circumstances
Destiny is the subtprfuge of the in
vertebrate, who, lacking the courage
to oppose error, seeks some plausible
excuse for supporting it. Washington
said that the destiny of the Republican
form of government was deeply. if
not finally, staked on the experiment
entrusted to the American people.
How different Washingt0n's definition
of destiny from the Republican defini-
ton, The Republicans say that this
nation is III the hands of destiny:
Washington believed that not only the
destiny Of our own nation but the
destiny Of the Republican form Of gov
eminent throughout the world was en-
trusted to American hands Washing-
ton was right. The destiny Of this re-.
public is ~ the hands Of tt; own peo-
pie. upon the success Of the expert
ment here rests the hope of humanity.
No exterior force can disturb this re-
public, and no foreign Influence should
be permitted to change its course.
What the future has in store for this
nation no one has authority to de-
clare. but each individual has his own
idea Of the nations mission and he
owes it TO his country as well as to
himself to contribute as best he may
to the fulfillment OF that mission.

Committee: ] Gun never fully dis

With Women

IL person is Ill and needs a medi-
4Eine is 1t not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health
This seems to US very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medi-
cine for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful !;
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia

whatever it desires to do, but it can
not avoid the natural and legitimate
results of its own conduct
It is of age. and 1t can do what it
pleases, 1t can spurn the traditions Of
the past; 1t can repudiate the princi-
pies upon which the nation rests; ii
can employ force instead Of reason,
1t can substitute might of right; it can
conquer weaker people; it can exploit
their lands, appropriate their property

Some argue that American rule IN

not deceived If we expect to main

It to our advantage to educate the peo-

In revolt against us, and the most ig-
norant ones have made the least re-
sistance to our domination. If we are
to govern them without their consent
and give them no voice in determining

A FAMED UTAH SCULPTOR.

II Is pretty well known that the Utah
artist who made the statue Of President
Brigham Young. that stands on the
monument at the junction Of East Tenn
pie and South Temple streets, was also
the sculptor Of the equestrian statue Of
"The Signal Of Peace" a model OF
which il now In our city and county
building The original Of this splendid
work Of art ls IN Lincoln Park, Chica-
60. i was presented to that city by
Judge Lambert Tree, after the Column
bian exposition was closed, where the
statue obtained a gold medal and
diploma.
Another equestrian statue by the
same successful sculptor. Is "The Medl-
cine Man" which received a prize az
the Paris exposition, and much favor

critics Of France The Revue de 7 Art

Another American pupil Of Chopu,
whose undoubted talent also does hon
or 20 the teaching OF our school, Mr.. O..
T.. Dallln, exhibits 40 equestrian figure
which we can place beside the work OF
his lllustrious compatriot, NJ. St eau

cans. a Sioux or ComanChe, the figure
nearly nude the head ornamented by
"a strange. horned bonnet formed Of
feathers falling down the back Ike
wings, the right hand raised. The fig-
ure is seated on small, fine. nervous
horse. beautifully drawn and Of distin-
guIshed proportions"
This appreciation has stirred up Phil
adelphla lovers Of art. and a movement
was started a short time ago, TO secure
the statue for Fairmont Park in the
"Clty Of brotheriy love" Mr.. Dallln
studied In Philadelphia and was con-
nected with the faculty OF the Drexel
Institute there. He there produced
his statue OF Sir Isaac Newton, which
Is now In the Congressional library at
Warrington In support Of the Phlla-
dephla movement, Mr.. John V, Sears,
an ardent advocate Of art and progress
In Philadelphia, argues that as THE
signal Of Peace stands as "a souvenir
for Chicago Of the Columbian Exposl-
ton, so 1.-THE Medicine Man would be
for Philadelphia "a souvenir OF the
Paris Exposition Of 1900"
There is q society In Philadelphia
called the "Falrmount Park Art Assoc
ciatlon." which Is engaged in the ex-
ceIent work Of identifying the park
and the public squares. It is to this
organization that the appeal Is made TO
secure THE Medicine Man Tor Fair

moved from the French capital
We take the opportunity afforded by
these notices Of the excellent work OF
our famed Utah sculptor, to call at
tsnt0n to the sact that there Is some
thing yet due 10 him from the people OF
this state for the statue Of President
Young and the accompanying bronze
figures which attract so much attention
