grounded upon principles of liberty; it
was because our forefathers denied the
right of foreign dictation in the affairs
of American government that decla
ration of Independence was inspired
and q revolution against British mus
kerry invoked; it was for the sake of
Republican freedom that caused the
patriot Putnam to leave his pillow in
the field and enlist in the American
army 10 1775; for the same reason, the
gallant defenders of Bunker Hill
fought with stones and clubs to the
last ditch after munitions of war had
been exhausted. What but the belief
of The American people that self-pov-
ernment is an inaliensble right put the
Green Mountain boys at the back of
the brave Ethan Allen in the taking of
Ticonderoga and saved the day on
those historic battle fields at Saratoga
and Yorktown? Does any one believe
that the forefathers thought the thrOt-
Ting of liberty essential to the growth
of civilization? Not one. Neither do our
people today have any euch belief. We
get our inspiration from the same source
from whence the fathers derived theirs.
1t Is only that element of our people
that loves the Almighty dollar and
"titles" more than they do their coun-
try that claims American sympathy to
be no longer With iiberty- oppressed
people but with the oppressor. This
element now seeks to revOlntioDiZe our
patriotic passion for Republican gov
eminent by malicious misrepresents-
ton of the causes leading up TO the
contest between the Beers and the
British. Why do they do this? 1t ia
by breaking down our prejudices favor
able to the Republic in the Transvaal
that they hope to weaken our respect
for q similar government here; 1t is by
arraying public sympathy against those
struggling people in South Africa that
they expect the hallOwed principles of
government, inaugurated by Jefferson
and Hamilton and Washington, will
find a weakened reverence and possibly
dislodgement on American soil.
With this accomplished, the Colonial
policy advocated by our chief executive
would get its sanction and from that
day an empire would have its roots
firmly fastened in this country. If the
administration wins in this campaign,
the Empire will have it's sanction by
the votes of the people and the plan to
retain the Filipinos as subjects will
triumph, unless, perchsnce, the forces
of Aguinaldo can gather SUI cient
strength to teach the Washington au

at the head of our armies is signiti-
cant of oppression instead of liberty.
The Boer war and the Philippine cam
paign are one and the same thing 80
far as concerns American politics. In
the one case We are not parties to the
slaughter, but the arguments of the
powerful nation as to its right of inva-
sion are supposed to have the same
effect upon the American people as if
our own brave sons were lined up in
battle.
Educated to believe that q weak ma
ton has limited rights in our consider
alton of the Boer cause, it is but natural
that we would then have little or no
charity for principles that have been
the inspiration for the Philippine ma
tives. We are supposed to forget that
"all men are created free and equal;
that all are entitled to life, liberty and
the peaceful pursuit of happiness. only
conceding these lnslienable rights when
master. These are the ideas of the
administration. They would blot out
our own records Of independence, for
from those records come the lifeblOOd
of our national patriotism.
An army that was tracked by the
bleeding feet of soldiers, headed by the
immortal Washington, endured all the
privations possible to humanity in ef-
forts to establish the right of people
for self government But the wisdom
of the present administration has it
that self-gOvernment is only all right
when we ourselves are the beneficiaries.
1t informs us that self government is
all wrong when the rights of the FIJI
ipinOs are in question. And l believe
that one of the star arguments of our
own Senator Beveridee was that the
island natives are rot entitled to self
government because the islands are
rich in various minerals and likely to
be very advantageous to the United
States as source of revenue. He
might have told all that was on his
mind at the time and confessed that he
was looking with longing eyes at the
lucrative jobs that the islands would
afford to hungry politicians. Aye, the
poor Filipinos' rights to self-govern-
ment are likely to get feeble consider
a'iOn unless loyal American Statesman
ship succeeds in supplanting the politi-
cal chicanery of the Beveridge type.
This administration may announce
to the World that the sympathies of
our country are against that feeble Re-
public in South Africa, bnt the great
heart of the nation will quicken with
even greater devotion for institutions

with the consent of the governed; we
will not endanger the liberties gusran-
teed in our own fair land for the sake
of commercial GAIN
The tim. is not far distant when We
can register our convictions on this i'm
portant step now being undertaken by
the Republican administration. Then
whenever a part, undertakes to depart
from established principles grounded in
our constitution, it sacrifices the sup
port of all patriotic citizens who under
stand the real meaning of that depart
ure. A party that ignores the estab-
lished principles of this government
can never enlist the patriotism of free
people.
The stars and stripes are planted at
the head of our advancing columns on
the islands across the sea and they tell
US that we are not loyal to that flag,
that where it has once been raised 1t
should not come down. Aye, if raised
where it does not belong it should come
down, and the man who believes it
should typify freedom always and who
demands that it shall cease to be sym

Ev6NTIDE.

OPP twilight ways the cattle slowly come;
IT'S eventide.
Mid musk and balm of dusky calm,
Through 1ordered lanes where roses hide,
Where bobwhites call from meadows wides
The faroH bells steal soft and low,
Like fairy tinkles come and go,
Then die In silence quite away
As slowly fades the waning day.
The gold hath paled from out the western sky
'Tis eventide.
At pasture bars two lingering are,
When loit'ring kline make milking late,
Gliding for one will surely wait,
But one meier heeds when lovers eyes
Clean bright as stars in evening skies
And jeweled moments deeting are
When trysting at the pasture bar.
The mellow bells grow fainter, fainter still;
tbs eventide.
To think that bells at cleaning heard
Can bring from out forgotten ways,
Voices and forms from vanished days.
That dead regrets can rise again
With old time longing and its pain;
That twas l who fingered long ago
By pasture bars in twilight glow.

After the town was taken NJ. Henri
