FOR NATIONAL HONOR.
We Should Keep the Promises Made TO
the fiIlipinos.


Some people profess to believe
that the United States cannot be a
world power unless its authority be
spread out over large portion of the
globe and maintained there by a stand
ing army. They have no conception
of any power except that of brute
strength, and the idea that a country
is great and therefore strong because
it has numerous colonies find blind
acceptance with them. AS a matter
Of fact country is weakened by the
possession of distant territory, which
must be all times and which, in time
of war, must be watched with special
care lest it revolt or be stolen. Eng.
land and other territory. holding ma
tons have learned this to their sorrow
There has not been a war in which
England has engaged for years tina,
has not been prolonged and, in one
case at least, lost, because her terri
torres required valuable troops fol
their defense and continued subjuga-
ton.
1t is not a matter of mere sentl.
ment which makes the restoration OF
the Philippine Islands to the natives
desirable action. We should keer
the promises made when we accepted
Filipino help against the Spanish, fol
the sake of our national woid of honor
but also for our own comfort and even
safety we should let them go. They
are not necessary to make the United
States world power.
This country is that already. 1t is
more. 1t is the foremost power IN
the world. as acknowledged by Sir
Robert Giffen at the recent meeting
of the Manchester Statistical society,
when he said:
"The United States has compe lied
her recognition as d world power, anc
the most powerful of all, SO far as her
population and resources are con,
cerned. 1t really has greater Euro
pean population than any European
state. Its eminence cannot be
questioned.
Conquest has not made us great
however. We have developed in
peace, and, desplte,not through, wars
for war in the end costs more than i,
brings. Our greatness is the resul,
of natural growth, the outcome of the
constitutional seed planted by the
fathers. Our strength is in our patriotic
manhood, ready at all times to defend
the principles ofliberty and equality
and in the doubt about real prowess
which has always existed IN the minds
of the rulers of the earth. And it will
be wise to make an exact showing o
our resources in attempts to hole
stolen islands. York Ne7oS
