Coolidge, the Washington CORE spol .
dent Of the Boston Journal, under date
OF the 18th instant, writes to that paper,
that the Republican party leaders have
deliberately come 10 the conclusion
that the battle must be fought out on
the question whether or not the United
States has the right to govern outlying
possessions as dependencies without
bringing them into the Union. Reput-
licans have generally accepted the
affirmative of this proposition while
Democratic leaders In Congress are
already beginning to raise the campaign
cry of 1.-THE Constitution follows the
flag" They are preparing to rally to
this cry In the Presidential campaign
and appeal to popular prejudice, with
this motto. Our own opinion-of
course 1t matters not what we Thinks
that no closer union between the Home
Government and the Philippines should
be formed than would enable US to
give the Philippine people opportunity
to form a government of their own,
just as soon as they are able to run one.
A protectorate would suit our idea of
the situation pretty well. But whether
this Is practicable or not, the hard and
fast theory of the Democratic leaders
in Congress, that those people occupy
the same constitutional status of the
people of any of the States In the Union,
seems to US to be strangely at variance
with their antl-expansion professions
Of the recent past. They are, however,
sadly In need of something to make a
political issue out of, and will catch at
anything that offers the least hope Of
popularity with the people.

The proposed reduction of the rates on
the Maine Central railroad to three cents
per mile, or less, is welcome news to the
patrons of the road and there are very
few people In Maine who are not. This
movement is in accord with the promises
made by the management at Augusta, Il
year ago, when the mileage book contest
was on. The cut is considerable, afford
ing passengers saving between SkoW-
