| Among lne hepuOJlCdn pam
phlets that the Mckinley and
| Roosevelt Club of this city is
distributing is one by Hon. VIM
Dudley Faulke of Indiana. The
title of which is; 1.-The Philip
pines Their fitness for sell
government" Above title in
small type is; THE Philippines
are ours and American author
ity must be supreme through
out the archipelago"-William
Mckinley. The last quotation
shows that his deductions are
foregone conclusions. In part
he says; Shall we apply for
information TO the Anti-Imper q.
ialist who sitting in his study
in Chicago Boston etc. Mr..
Faulke forgets right at the start
that he and Mr.. Mckinley are
dong that very thing; Sitting
in their studies solving the
problem of whether a people
shall be free or not, while Am
erican boys are dying in the
Archipelago. Again he says;
"They (the Filipinos) are of a
rather high type, reasonably
intelligent. brave temperate,
skilful in many kinds of indus.
try" From his own descrip-
ton, if a people who are intel.
igent, temperate, brave and
skiltul are not capable Of self
government, who are? Can it
be said that all of the colonlst
who fought under Geo. Washing
ton were what Mr.. Faulke
himself admits the Filipino
to be? Again; In point of
fact self-government and rep
resentation are unknown in
these islands," 1t must be re-
membered that for more than a
century the Filipino has bee n
at war with Spain and under
the circumstance is it not true
that for a portion of that time
the Filipino had a government
to say the least of it as stable
as that of the American people
at one time. During the revol.
ution did the American set up
and retain seat of govern.
ment.' No, but they tried to,
and that is just what Aguinaldo
did and is still trying to do.
Again; "There is no reason to
believe that Aguinaldo's gov
ernment has any elements of
stability" Mr.. Faulke assume S
that it has not, because it suits
his purpose, because Mckinley
has said "they are ours" Why
not tell us that England once
said the same of the American
colonies? mo reason to be-
lieve." Why should there or
how could there be a stable
government of the people who
have been fighting against over
whelming odds for hundreds of
years? Is it reasonable to sup.
pose that McKinley's yellow
Bellies" could set up any kind
of a government while fighting
the strongest nation on earth?
Fighting for Liberty, dying tor
Liberty and for the sake of their
Liberty and shooting down
thousands of Americans bright.

POWER OF IMAGINATION.
An lnstanee which Illustrates Its In
Auence Upon the Average
Person.

The influence of Imagination il .
factor with which physicians have to
reckon very largely. and in the minor
ailments of life, at.any rate, the most
successful practitioner is he who pos
sesses the faculty of inspiring conf
dence in himself to begin with, and
then in the treatment he advises. A re-
cent number of the Psychological Re-
view relates an interesting experiment
made by Mr.. Slosson with the view of
demonstrating how easily this faculty
can be called into play. In the course
of popular lecture he presented to his
audience q bottle containing distilled
water, which he uncorked with elabor-
ate precautions, and then, watch ip
hand, he asked those present to indi-
cate the exact moment at which the pc
culiar odor was perceived BY them.
Within Is seconds those Immediately
in front of him held up their hands,
and within 40 seconds those at the other
end of the room declared that they dis
tinctly perceived the odor. There was
m obstinate minority. largely COM
posed of men, who stoutly declared
their inability to detect any odor, but
Mr.. Slosson believes that many more
would have given in had he not been
compelled to bring the experiment to
close within a minute of opening the
bottle, several persons in the front rank
finding the odor SO powerful that they
hastily quilted the lecture room. II
would have been interesting to know
the attitude of the audience on learning
the liberty that had been taken with
their imaginations, but on this point,
unfortunately, the report is silent
