IT was charged few days since,
that Senator Hoar's speech against war
with the Filipinos caused the outbreak
of war there, the Filipino leaders de-
irving assurance from it that they
would have q strong support in the
United States. 1t was also said that
Andrew Carnegie gave $4,000 to have
the speech telegraphed to Manila.
Hoar has had nothing to say about the
charge, but Carnegie says he never gave
a dollar for any such purpose. We
cannot see how the party is to be helped
by slandering any of its leaders, or ira
ducing men who have the courage to
stand by their opinions, even when
they differ with the President. 1t will
be sorry day for this country when
the doctrine prevails that ''the king
can do no wrong"
