EXPANSION Is NOT IMPERIALISM.
Jefferson Quoted to show That Conquest
Is Un-Ameriean.

Jefferson Quoted to show That Conquest
Is Un-American.
Our opponents, conscious of the
weakness of their cause, seek to con-
fuse Imperialism with expansion, and
have even dared to claim jefferson as
a supporter of their policy. Jefferson
smoke so freely and used language
with such precision that no one can be
ignorant of his views. On one occasion
he declared: IF there be one principle
more deeply rooted than any other in
the mind OF every American, 1t Is that
w should have nothing to do with con-
ouest." And again he said: conquest
IS not IN our principles: it Is inconslst-
ent with our government. The torci-
HE annexation Of territory to be gov
erned by arbitrary power. differs as
much from the acquisition OF territory
TO be built up into states as Il mon
archy differs from democracy. The
Democratic party does not oppose eX-
pansion. when expansion eniarges the
area of the republic and Incorporates
land which can be settled by American
citizens, or adds 10 our population peo-
ple who are willing to become eitl-
zens and are capable Of discharglng
their duties as such. The acquisition
Of the louisiana territory, Florida,
Texas, and other tracts which nave
been secured from time to time, en-
larged the republic, and the constltH-
tion followed the flag into the new ter
ritOry. Ii Is now proposed to sieze up
on distant territory already more
densely populated than our own coun-
try and to force upon the people gov
ernment for when there Is no war
rant in our constitution or our laws.
If we have an imperial policy we
must have a large standing army as
its natural and necessary complement.
That large permanent IN
crease in our regular army Is intended
by the Republican leaders Is not a
mere matter Of conjecture. hut a mat
ter Of fact. In 1896 the army
contained about $4,000 men. Within
two years the president asked for four
times that many. and a Republican
house Of representatives complied WIN
the request after the Spanish treaty
had been signed and no country was at
war with the United States.
A large standing army Is not only q
pecuniary burden TO the people ana
IL accompanied by compulsory service
n constant source Of irritation, hut II
Is ever n menace to a Republican
form of government The army Is the
personification of force, and militarism
will inevitably change the ideals OF the
people and turn the thoughts or our
young men from the arts Of peace to
the science OF war. The government
which relies for its defense upon IT'S
citizens, is more likely to he just than
one which has at call large body OF
professional soldiers. A small stand.
ing army and well equipped ana
we'll disciplined state militia are sum
cient in ordinary times. and IN an
emergency the nation should IN the
future as in the past place its depend
enee upon the volunteers VINO COME
from all occupations at their country :
call and return to productive iaDO'
when their services are no longer re-
auired-men who fight when the eouh-
try needs fighters and work when thc
country needs workers.

ers. jefferson, than whom there Is no
higher political authority, said: II

men, whether acting singly or col

wisdom and virtue are n part OF the
priceless legacy bequeathed 10 us from
the revolutionary days, expressed the
same idea In even stronger language

THE ARGUMENT or OBLIGATION.
Also the Contention That Filipinos Cannot
Govern Themselves.

Govern themselves
II It IS said that we have assumed
before the world obligations which
make It necessary for Us to perma-
nently maintain a government In the
Philippine islands. l reply, first that
the highest obligation Of this nation
is to be true to itself. No obligation to
any particular nation, or TO all nations
combined, can require the abandon
ment Of our theory Of government and
the substitution Of doctrines against
which our whole national life has been
q protest. And, second, that our obli-
cations to the FilipinOs who inhablt
the islands are greater than any obll-
CATION which we can owe TO foreigners
who have a temporary residence In the
Philippines or desire to trade there.
1t Is argued by some that the Fill
pinos are Incapable Of self-gOvernment
and that therefore we owe II to the
world to take control Of them. Ad-
miral Dewey, I'm an official report to
the navy department, declared the Fill
plnos more capable Of self-gOvernment
than the Cubans, and said that he based
his opinion upon a knowledge Of both
races. But will not rest the case upon
the relative advancement Of the Fill
pinos. Henry Clay, in defending the
rights Of the people OF South America
70 self-government, said: "It is the
doctrine Of thrones that man is too ig-
nOrant to govern himself" Il
contend that It is 10 arraign the dlsp0-s
sition of Providence Himself 10 sup
nose that He has created beings inca
Dable of governing themselves, and 10
he trampled on by kings. Self-govern-
qt is the natural government oe
me.
Clay was right. . Once ad-
NIT that some people are capable Of
self-government and that others are
not. and that the capable people have
a right TO seize upon and govern the
incapable. and you make force-brute
force-the only foundation Of govern
ment and invite the reign Of the despot.
Republicans ask: shall we haul
down the flag that floats over our dead
in the PhilippinesY The same ques-
tion might have been asked when the
American flag floated over Chapulte-
nee and waved over the dead who fell
there: but the tourist who visits the
City of Mexico finds there a national
cemetery owned by the United States
and cared for by an American citizen.
Our flag still floats over our dead, but
when the treaty with Mexico was
signed American authority withdrew
to the Rio Grande. Can
we not govern coloniesT we are asked.
The question is not what we can do,
but what we ought to do. This nation
