No, our opponents mean nothing and
know that they mean nothing when they
pirate ABOUT militarism, when with forked
tongues they say that they favor ex-
pansion but are against imperialism
They used precisely the same arguments
SIX years ago against our taking Hawaii
that they now use against our taking the
Philippines. They pulled down our flag
in Hawaii just as they now wish to pull
1t down in the Philippines. We had to
undo their work in Hawaii just as in the
end, but at an infinite cost of bloodshed
and woe, we would have to do in the
philippines If they were successful in the
coming election Yet not one of them
now would dream Of saying that we were
not right about Hawaii; in fact, they
could not do so, when by strange irony
the Kansas City convention had to rely
upon The vote of Hawaii before it could
settle its views on the financial system of
our country.
As Regards the Philippines,
even the Kansas City convention felt
tnat they had to propose some policy
what they propose is that we should
nrst give them stable form of govern
ment; second. independence, and third,
protection from outside interference. BY
the order in which they put these propo-
sitions they showed their estimate Of
their Importance. Well, what we are do
ing now is precisely and exactly to try to
secure stable form Of government in
the philippines, and the chief obstacle
IN our way is the support given to the
bloody Aguinalaian oligarchy by their
sympathizers among the people that were
represented in the Kansas City conven-
ton Moreover, now we are seeing that
no outside nation interferes in the island
ment we then intend to give them self
government as rapidly as they are fitted
foi it. Our opponents say that they wish
now to give them independence. To give
independence now would be precisely
like giving independence" to the widest
tribe of Apaches in Arizona. It would
mean the turning over of the most peace
full. law-abiding and prosperous part of
the population to be plundered by the
banditti that are following Aguinaldo.
.. In China we see at this moment the
awful tragedy that is following just ex-
actly such a movement as that which
the so-cailed anti-imperialists have
championed in the Philippines. The Box
ers in China are the precise analogues
and representatives Of the Aguinaldian

rebels in the Philippines. Had we adop-
ted the policy of scuttle'' in the Philip
pines, the policy which our political op-
ponents now. champion. the streets of Ma
Mia would have witnessed such scenes
as those Of the streets of Picking. To
allow the Filipino rebels to establish
their own so-called government and then
to protect them against other civilized
nations would be exactly as If we now
sided with the Boxers in China. demand
ed for them the license to butcher their
neighbors. allowed them to establish
their own Independent government, and
then agreed to protect them from the
wrath of civilized mankind. A more
wicked absurdity than the Kansas City
proposition for dealing with the Philip
pines was never cnunciated by the repre-
sentatives of a responsible political party.
II would ask those who by their words
have encouraged the warfare of the Fill
pinos against us to recall the latter OF
Gen. Lawton, written just before his
death. In which he pointed out that the
blood Of his soldiers Redeemed the hands
Of the men al home who encouraged
Our Foes Abroad.
''Some years ago when certain Eastern
ers were clamoring in the name Of hui
mainly against the army officers who
warred to protect the Western settlers
from the Indians, Gen. Sheridan wrote:
I do not know how far these humanita-
rians should be excused on account OF
their ignorance. but surely it is the only
excuse that can give shadow of justi-
fication for aiding and abetting such hor-
rid crimes
''The scheming politicians MT Kan
sns City have not even the excuse
of ignorance When they incite the
insurgents to fresh warfare against
our soldiers with the bnse hope that
thereby they may further their own
political advancement
There are doubtless many worthy and
amiable gentlemen Of humanitarian ten

pansion now, as men like them have al
