STANDING ARMIES
ARE 4 Menace,
w. BOURKE COCHRAN.

Standing armies always have been
and always must be fatal to free insti-
tutions. TO realize the utter incom-
patibility of Militarism and rebub-
licanism we have but to look at
France. When we recall he frs.
French republic scattering thu COM
bined forces vi Europe unrougn the
valOr of its volunteer armies, how
pitiful is the spectacle of the third re-
public covering in fear of it's own
standing army, incapable of welding
any influence abroad, impotent even
to do justice at home.
The experience of this country
proves that a citizen soldiery is in
vincible against foreign aggression or
domestic insurrection, while all his
tory shows that mercenary soldiery
has never been so formidable to anv
country as the one which supports it.
A standing army in the long run
has always become helpless against
foreign foes, but it has always re-
mained of deadly efficiency against
domestic liberties.
The soldier in war may be hero.
the soldier in peace is either useless or
dangerous. The camp may be school
of virtue and patriotism, the barracks
are always asylums of laziness and
often hotbeds of vice. The moral law
is binding on nations as we'll as on in
dividuals. A violation of it by either
is always followed by retribution, slow,
perhaps, but inexorably stern.
He who draws the sword will perish
by the sword, and the republic that es-
tablishes a standing army to smite
freedom in other lands will live to find
her own liberties trampled in the dust
under the feet of mercenary soldiery.

monarchy? Our president now carries
on war, he censors the press, a con-
gress meets and adjourns without
making any provisions for the proper
government of 100000 alien people,
and nobody finds any fault with it,
save some of Mr.. Bryan's admirers.
We certainly find no fault with the
conditions as they exist. The settle
ment of the great Philippine question
is rightly left in the hands of the presi-
dent. He and his cabinet alone know
the true condition of affairs over
there and consequently they alone can
make the proper and intelligent ar
rangements for their government. This
view of the matter great majority of
our people take, I believe. What
different conditions would you have
under monarchy?
Upon what theory except imperialism
do republicans justify the possession
Of the Philippine islands, For poiiti
cal buncombe, we may say: 1--WE
owed it to other nations to keep them."
But if that be SO, why then buy them7
The other nations should at least have
paid for them if we kept them for their
benefit. How will this nation justify
the great killing of these people, and
among them some women and children,
it we do not justify it on the ground
that weak nations must be developed
and governed by the strong7 It will
not do for US to put up the plea Of re.
venge for the killing Of some Of our
soldiers by the Philippines, it were
only men they killed that might do, but
killing women and children must be
justified, If at all, on better and higher
grounds. We see no reason why the
republican party should fear to adopt
imperialism in name as well as in the
tendency of its course. The papers of
the country properly directed could
create strong sentiment in IS favor
in few weeks If it was thought desir.
able for the welfare of the country"
These are the sentiments of a McKin-
leyite who knows what McKinleyism
means and is not afraid to admit the
truth. WILL M. MAUPIN.

Professor
Mclaughlin
on
Imperialism

Prof. J. Lawrence Mclaughlin, of
the Chicago University, who was the
foremost and ablest exponent of the
gold standard in the last presidential
campaign of 1896, writes terrific ar
raignment of McKinley's Philippine
policy and predicts that if continued
on present lines it will wreck the Re-
public. Our republican friends were
all quoting Mclaughlin as authority
four years ago but they are mum as a
clam when his name is mentioned in
this campaign.
Prof. Mclaughlin is a strong writer
and we should like to quote him at
length but we have space for but one
of his sledge-hammer blows against
! imperialism. He says:
"Suppose an abolitionist in 1860 had
bought a negro from Shareholder
Would the fact that slavery was legal
in the United States have prevented the
abolitionist from giving the negro his
; freedom? Certainly not: it was only a
question of paying a given sum to do
! a generous act. Likewise if we like
shareholders among subject-holding
monarchies bought the sovereignty OF
; the Philippines for 10000, 600 are we
thereby bound to follow the example o1
states against whose theories of sub.
ject colonies our very existence is a
; constant protest? Far from it. We
can no more justify holding another
race in subsection against their will
than an abolitionist could reconcile
his belief with keeping slave he hal
! bought. AS a nation of freemep al
equal under the constitution, we are
stultifying ourselves morally anc
polite ally We are showing TO tht
world that our principles of govern
ment are as nothing in compariso1
with grasping land because it is sait
by our senators to be rich and fertile
The baseness of this philosophy shoult
bring its own punishment and dis
grace. OF course we can keep tn,

Csc tee there was loss of S4.s,7.22

Efficiency in the Weighing Department.
An example Of the increased strict
ness and general efficiency achieved
under thHN present administration is
shown by the statistics of the WEIGHING

The Ministers Stin Alive.

II is with feeling Of inexpresSible relief
that the country learns today from Minis
ter C0nger that he and presumably the
majority of the foreigners sheltered in the
British legation at Pekin We're safe day
before yesterday although in great danger.
This is the first authentic account of con-
Ciitious in Pekin for many days, the first
direct communication from Minister Con-
ger for many weeks. While /. does not en-
tirely relieve all fears. 1t Is nevertheless of
incaIculable reinsurance. for it wholly dis
proves all the sensational stories of mas
sacre heretofore sent out from China. some
of them with minute details.
In the feeling OF thankfulness for this
measure OF relief from the apprehension
which has distressed the country 1t should
not be forgotten that 1t was due to the
fOrethouSht and enterprise of Secretary
Hay that this means Of communicating
with Minister Conger was adopted. 1t re-
fleets credit upon the American mode of
diplomacy that through our own activity
and disregard of the hair-spHtting conven-
tionalities of International intercourse We
are able to tell the powers of Europe of the
probable safety Of their people in Pekin.
IL is due to Minister WI. well. TO ex
press gratitude for the readiness with
which he aided Secretary Hays effort. Fe
urged that the message sent to Minister
Conger July IL be written in the State De-
psIrtment cipher. In order that there should
h. no question whatever as to the fairness
Of its treatment in China. He chose for his
medium OF communication a man in high
official position whom he felt could be
trusted with the task of getting word
through the lines to the legations. Thanks
To his Judgment and his absolute good
faith, the long silence has at last been
broken.
OF course. all is not yet well with Mr.
Cnnger, his proteges and his colleagues
His dispatch shows that they were in ex-
treme peril when the word was sent. under
a continuous fire Of shot and shell from
Chinese troops. and in imminent danger of
a general massacre unless relief were to be
had at once 1t L. not just yet possible for
the allies TO force their way 20 Pekin, and
the relief for which Mr.. Conger SO urgently
prays is not 10 be had now Still, 1t is
vastly reassurins to find that the legations
have been enabled to hold out 50 long
The dispatch destroys the statement that
Prince Ching has taken the foreigners into
his own palace. Il does not. Of course, tell
ny what means they have been enabled to
withstand the assaults for So long. Nor
DIES 1t give any mixing as to the losses
they have suffered
In the absence Of date 1t Is only a mat
ter Of conjecture that this message left
fekin July Is This theory Is supported
by the report Of Consul General Goodnow
at Shanghai that the governor of snan
Tung received a cipher dispatch for Wash
inston which left Pekin on the 18th 1t thus
appears that 1t is possible TO get news from
the capital TO the coast in two days Now
that means Of communication has been
found other dispatches from Mr. Conger

situation may reasonably be expected.
