Imperialism will not finally subdue
and hold the {, 1000. 900 inhabitants of the
], 900 islands. The Philadelphia Times
discussing the views of President
Schurman says what he advances as to
the long war u there will "startIe
some OF the e~asy-going good people who
voted to sustain Mckinley and his war
policy because they hoped hat the de
feat Of Bryan would induce the fight
ing Fflipinos to follow the example of
Crockett's coon and come down without
any more shooting. He says: If. a
century hence. the people become fused
into one nationality desiring indepen-
dence. our descendants will grant it,
A pretty long experiment Of Imperialism
it is to which President Schurman in
vites us. An indefinite army certainly
much larger than the one now in the
Philippines must be maintained at an
unknown but very great cost for a long
er time thar President Schurman cares
to predict"

WAR TALK.

The talk in Washington Of a war
with Great Britain on account of the
canal digging matter would be ridicu-
lous if it were not for tragic results.
Talk of war now is becoming extreme
ly frequent and the HELP features are
all lost sight of. Senator Morgan has
sounded a warning in the senate and
murmurings beyond seas are rather
ominous. Let us nave peace. This
country should rest content for a while
upon whatever laurels it gained in
Cuba, the Philippines and China. Let
the war drum be u~nstrapped. We

Doctrine. wise or otherwise, is still
held by the United States. England
would hardly be ash enough at this
juncture, if at any time, to lay down a
law by which this great country must
govern itself. The Washington Post is
disposed to treat England's pretentions
Win IcNlly. IL says ludl the ldCl re-
mains that the London s~emi-official or
gans nave indicated h same thing in
saying that England had sacrificed
enough in the matter Of the Suez canal,
and will yield nothing in the
matter of the Nicaragua enterprise. In
other words, it is proposed that Eng

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN'S VIEWS

Have you ever stopped long enough
in a something busy life to consider
what the imperialistic movement has
already cost his country-its people?
1t is a matter that appeals to the
pocket and to human sympathy. The
expenditure in money began with the
injudicious, unnecessary, scandalous
payment of $50, 600, 900 to Spain for the
most unrepublican and inhuman pur-
pose of fighting, licking and conquering
the Philippines. Up to now but a
small fraction has been conquered, how
ever many Filipinos may have been
killed. Let President Schurman the
able president of Cornell University be
heard. He says
Our soldiers on the islands are dy-
ing at the rate of five a day. Our
forces are scattered and the insurgents
are ~plundering the natives by the
wholesale. Prices for meat and rice.
the staple foods, have risen 500 per cent.
in the last three years. The natives.
taught by the cruelty n treachery or
the Spaniards to mistrust all whites,
have not learned to trust us. Condi-
tons are on the whole not better than
they were during the Spanish rule.
There is as yet no chance for admins
ttrative reform"
The war has cost hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars already every cent Of
which the people at home must pay
however bitterly they oppose h wal.
