times as strong as the Transvaal
army. The alliance between France
and Russia is an accomplished fact
and under the agreement it is the
duty of France to prevent Germany
from taking any hostile steps against
Russia. Japan is the only factor to
reckon with and what can Japan do?
She may crush the Russien feet in
the Pacific, capture Port Arthur,
conquer Korea and blockade Vladi-
wostock, but she surely cannot march
an army to St. Petersburgh or take
an active hand in the war at the
Dardauelles. Russia will not make
great splurge against Japan while
fighting Turkey. When the Sultan

Women Have tho Last Sox.

Women are given the last say in
Japan as well as in America. That
privilege was given them in this way:
A royal young couple married and
went on bridal trip. The groom went
east around the island and the bride
went Gest. When they met the bride
saluted her husband and said. SIT ia
pleasant for young lady to meet a
handsome young man." The groom
was offended because the bride spoke
first and proposed the trip over again.
The groom went east again and the
bride went west. When they met the
second time the groom said. 1T is
pleasant for a young man to meet a
handsome young lady," and ever since
that time it has been the privilege of
women to talk back and have the last
say.

HISTORY.
BY s. NJ. OWEN.

In his letter OF acceptance GOV.
Roosevelt says: '"The parallel be-
tween what Jefferson didwith Louisiana
and what is now being done with the
Philippines is exact" There isn't a
man in the Union who knows this is
false any better than Mr.. Roosevelt,
the historian, does* The territory ac-
quired by Mr.. Jefferson was contigu-
Gus, the Philippines are not. Jeffer-
sons acquisition had an estimated
population, Indians and all, of one
to 40 square miles, and probably
thousands of square miles had never
been trodden by the foot of an Indian
even; while the Philippines have IN
estimated population of 100 to the
square mile. The few people in the
Louisiana purchase were not in rebel
lion against France when that govern
ment conveyed it's territory to this one,
nor did they protest or fight against
it's absorption by the United States.
These differences are enough, surely,
to destroy Mr.. Roosevelt's "exact
PARALLEL but if they did not exist
there would still be no parallel, be-
cause the treaty of cession of the Loui-
siana purchase contained this pro-
vision: #1fsS$=... III IF #%s.E.#&@ -.
The inhabitants of the ceded terri
tory4 shall be incorporated into the
Union of the United States, and ad-
mitted as soon as possible, according
to the principles of the federal consti-
tuition, to the enioyments, of all the
rights, advantages and immunities Of
citizenship Of the United States, and in
the meantime they shall be maintained
and protected in the free enjoyment of
their liberty, property and the religion
which they profess. !" . {. 81
There is no such promise il the
Spanish treaty, nor has there been any
such promise made bys.this government
since. Jefferson's treaty recognized
the snprem acy Of the federal constitu-
tion, while the Spanish treaty declared
the supremacy Of congress in these
words szs 3. .sS 51.:
The civil rights and political stat
us of the native inha bitants Of the
territories hereby ceded to the United
States shall be determined by con-
gress. = N
~ Instead, ,of being an ssexact parallel :

Eclutched my arm ii . deliri,u1m of fear
and sorrow. Help, help!" she cried.
'"They have murdered papa and
mamma; it's mammals blood you see
on my bosom. She was carrying me
away. O, Jesu! o, Sancta Maria!
0, hide me! the Americanos will mur-
der me. O, mamma, mamma; dear,
sweet, beautiful mamma! You bled
so! You could not talk, but you did
not close your eyes. You are dead,
but your eyes are not shut.''
I can report her walls no longer. It
tears my heart to pieces bit by bit.
And still I am nothing but a savage
Filipino.
I adopted the little rebel on the spot
in the place of my own little murdered
girl who was about the same age.
Destitute and exhausted we came to a
neighboring village after a few hours
flight. We were we'll received by our
compatriots, though we are nothing
but beggars now.
You will readily understand that
after this the little orphan girl, my
boy and myself are staunch friends of
the Americans. We are now fullycon-
vinced. that Aguinaldo must be ras-
cal, who can advise resistance against
such noble, high-minded men as the
American soldiers and government.
You have most emphatically ''taught
us who you are," and we are anxious
to get more of that higher civilization
which you have so abundantly shared
with us in our humble village.
''This Filipino lies," you will say.
But your own press, even that friendly
to the government, has verified every
essential fact in this letter several
times over. You certainly can re-
member several news items of this
nature: ''Our soldiers report that
they were treacherously fired upon by
the natives in the village x. The
general shelled the village as punish
ment.'' To punish whole village for
the act of any irresponsible individual
in the vicinity has become the Amer
lean code of ethics. We barbarous
Filipinos cannot quite see the justice
in it. Only once, as far as I know,
was the officer reprimanded for she'll
ing village. That was when he
shelled the wong village.
Turn to the files of your dailies for
the latter part of July and you will
find that they calmly report the Amer
lean massacre of a whole Filipino vii
lage as a punishment for the killing
of one American soldier. When you
read that item you knew as we'll as
you know anything that the property
and homes and lives of scores of in
nocent people were destroyed - as
innocent of that soldiers death as you
are-and still the great American ma
tion had not word of protest.
My most fervent wish for my devas-
tated fatherland is: May we never &C
quire the American civilization and
morality that make such crimes pos
