A Splendid Record.
His Masonic record Is one of which any
man may be proud. and the honors which
have come to him in Masonry are due to
his excessive zeal in that order. Before he
had reached the age of forty years he had
served both as grand high priest Of Royal
Arch Masons and grand master Of Free and
Accepted Masons of the state Of Michigan.
From the time of his first receiving light in
Masonry he became an active ana enthu-
siastic worker, and his brethren, recognZ-
ing his abilities. were lavish in showering
upon him all the official gifts in their power.
He has served presiding officer in all the
local bodies with which he is connected. and
in every position to which he has been
called he has displayed remarkable ability
that has constantly won for him deserved
promotion. In 1896 he was elected grand
high priest of the Grand Chapter of Michi-
gan. and one year later grand master Of
the Grand Lodge, and his administration of
Masonic affairs during those two years was
a most brilliant one, and has given him a
place in the hearts and affections of the Ma
sons Of Michigan which will keep him in
remembrance during the remainder of his
life.

defensive, against the Fllipinos as a peo-
pie. The Filipinos number probably ten
millions Of people and two millions of
men capable of bearing arms. If they
were united in war against us, the little
army which we have there would scarce
ly be a circumstance in their way. But
the majority of the Filipinos are a quiet,
docile people, not disposed TO fight and
not engaged in the instruction now prac-
tically quelled. Aguinaldo had compar-
atiyely few supporters outside Of his own
tribe, the Tagalogs, who comprise prob
ably onc-tenth Of the whole mass Of Fill
pinos. He, in his mad effort for abso-
lutte rule, attacked the forces of the Unit
ed States, and we were compelled to quell
the instruction.
3. The United States troops are in the
Philippines for the protection of the peo-
pie from murder, rapine and misrule, and
for the preservation of law, order and
property rights. For many years there
have been robber bands in the mountains
who would from time TO time light down
upon the villages and rob and murder the
people. The Spaniards paid no attention
10 the Interior but protected only the
coast. Last spring one of these bands
attacked a Filipino village and, in addi-
ton to the robbery and killing, carried
away thirty Filipino women TO the hills.
Two companies Of United States soldiers
pursued them, attacked and dispersed the
band, and restored the women to their
friends. We are bringing to these islands
true liberty, Liberty protected by law"
4. The possession and control Of these
islands came to MS prOvidentially, uneX-
pectedly and unsought. They are ours
by treaty, and n treaty which Mr. Bry-
an approved. We are responsible 10 the
nations Of the earth and TO the Judge
Of all the earth for their care. We ac-
cept the responsibility in the fear of God
and the love of humanity. | may not live
to see it, my boy, but if you live twenty
years YOU will see the most marvellous
development in the worlds history In the
Philippines. Good roads. good schools,
the development Of agriculture, manufac-
lures and mining the Introduction of
American push and energy among the
people, railroads. and a hundred other
means Of transformation. You will see
there twenty millions of contcnted and
prosperous people who will rejoice in
their liberty and their privileges and be
proud of their relations to the greatest
Of all nations, the United States OF Amer
lea. And then, my boy, every Democrat
in America will swear that he always
was in favor Of that thing and that he
was ever an expanSionist Of the first

FARMER BRYANS NIGHTMARE

Yes, Jonathan, that indianapolis
speech as you say, is very fine and lots
of it. Mr.. Bryan is a schmart man
enough, but l kvit him for the sake OF
his sixteen TO one" humbug, and the
demonstration at Indianapolis makes me
kvit him more. He says he was rigat
then and the people wrong, and that he
is right now and the good people must
now apologize by electing him President.
The other fellows in the convention at
Kansas City have not so much faith, but
they have hopes, so they compromise
with Mr.. Bryan and raise a crop Of ca
lamity Imperialism mixed with the six
teen to one" old seed, saying to them
selves, 'Where one don't grow the other
will"
Did you ever try 70 drive in the barn

Bryan ON Pensions.

Mr.. Bryan's utterances about the sol
ders of the Civil War are worth repeat
ing. Mr.. Bryan. as editor of the Omaha
World Herald, passed this Nov. IS 1892:
"rhe next session of Congress will
have to wreste with one deficiency of
$3GO00,000 This is on account of pen
sions. The appropriation for next year
must be not less than $1J0.000,000. II is
therefore easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that Congress must
make must aggregate not less than $780,
100000. This tremendous sum would
in itself be enough to run a reasonable
government. One would not complain
il IL were an honest debt, but large pro-
portion is not a debt because il was new
er earned by any act OF patriotism or
heroic service. The government is held
up and despoiled OF no mean portion OF
this and it seems helpless to defend IT.
self. One cannot help being curious 20
know how many more years IL will take
TO exhaust the generation which feels
itself injured by the war. II is safe to
say that never did generation display
such remarkable longevity
Isn't il about time that Mr.. Bryan was

DEAR BOY" LETTtRS-NO. 6
Nv Dear Bow:

Ny Dear Boy:
SO your employer, Mr.. Skinner, says
that The Filipinos ought to have their
liberty and United States soldiers ought
TO be in better business than making war
on an innocent people and strangling the
life out of a new republic"
Since Mr. Skinner has put in a nutshell
the substance of Mr.. Bryan's speech,
shall dispose Of Mr.. Bryan and the whole
anti-imperialist crew in answering Mr..
skinner | know that you have but little
time to read and shall use the fewest
words possible, as l shall endeavor to
give you clear, intelligent view Of the
situation over in our new possessions.
1. Our soldiers are not strangling the
life out Of a new republic, for the very
good reason that there never was any
republic in the Philippines. A republic
is n government by the people through
their chosen representatives. The people
Of the Philippines never were consulted
about the so-callcd Filipino Republic.
Its head was tricky young Tagalog
named Aguinaldo, who proclaimed him
self dictator and endeavored TO make
himself so by force Of arms. Republics
are not governed by dictator. The form
Of government which took the place Of a
constitution in the so-called republic was
lengthy personal decree of Aguinaldo
himself. 1t was not republic but a
despotism which he sought to establish.
The people of the Philippine Islands are
made up of many different tribes, Negri-
tos, Tagalogs, MoroS, Nisayans, and more
than fifty others. These tribes are sep
arate in blood, sympathes. and TO a large
extent in language In addition TO them
there are thousands of Spaniards, Ger
mans, Americans, and people of other ma
tons who are resident there. and whose
persons and property are TO be protect
ed In addition TO all these are large
numbers of MestiZoS, people whose moth
ers were native Filipinos, but whose faith
ers were Japanese Chinese or SpaniardS.
There is no probability that one-half
or one-third Of all these vast numbers Of
people would consent to be governed by
Aguinpldo and the Tagalog tribe which
he represents. Many of them would GER
tainly fight against it. The abandon
ment Of the islands by the United States
army would mean, not liberty to the peo-
pie, but war among themselves, result
ing in either despotism or anarchy.
.. The United States has never made
war upon the Filipinos. We have not
even been engaged in war, offensive or

Imperialism is no issue at all. There
is only one issue in this campaign, and
that concerns the business interests-the
pocketbook issue. While the people are
threatened with another financial panic
and business depression their thoughts
are not going TO be concentrated on any
cry Of Imperialism. 1t is folly to assert
that little war over in the Philippine
Islands is Of more Importance to the peo-
pie Of the United States than their indi-
vidual and collective interests at home
