FINDERS AND LOSERS

Broadly speaking, girls are divided
into two great classes-the ones who
find and the ones who lose.
Meta is a girl who finds. Ownerless
earrings, brooches and shirt studs are
scattered along her pathway, entreat-
ing her to pick them up, whichever way
she strolls, and little things like horse
shoes and four-leaved clovers seem to
leap up in the most unlikely places at
the first sound of her step.
Guess what found to-day?" Is her
regular form Of greeting. So no one

THE RACING AT LEXINGTON.
Three Events Settled--Some Fine
Sport

Sport
Lexington, KY, Oct. 11.-When the
bell rang for the first heat in the 2:1C
trot to-day the weather was raw and
chilly, but the wind gradually died
away and the afternoon was compare
lively pleasant. There was a large
crowd In attendance and the racing was
fine, over the best conditioned track of
the meeting.
There were eight starters for the 21O
trot and York Boy, selling at $50 to $50
for Lamp Girl, was big favorite. He
won the race in straight heats, but not,
however, until he had lost the first two
heats to the great California mare Ne
retta, who also gave him close race
in the third heat. The other oontending
horses were Onward Silver and Lamp
Girl, the former making the winner step
the last heat in 2:09A The race was
good one throughout.
Contralto, at 500 to $50 the favorite
in the West stake, took the race right
off the reel, leaving the fight for second
place between the erratic Annie Burns
and the srnooth-going Ebba, Burns
finally getting the second divide of the
$4,000 purse. Lita w. made good race
in each heat, but she only got fourth
money
The Tennessee colt Empire Wilkes,
the favorite for the Lexington for two
year-old trotters finished third in bhe
first heat and behind The Banner In the
second heat. Erlrange, high-bred filly
from the Bitter Root Farm, was the
winner in straight heats over W. j,
Young's colt Melton, by Allerton, who
finished second each time.
Jay McGregor, who was well thought
of in the books before the race, got only
fourth money. The summaries:

THERE Is no SUCH WORD As
RETREAT, BOYS; CHARGE"
Mckinley Forty Years Ago and To-Day
Has the Same Principles.

There is no such word as retreat,
boys; charge"
These words were those OF Maj Nc
ture the character OF the President Of
to-day as Of the soldier OF 1862.
Thomas O'Callahan. with one eye
blinded and one ear closed to sound for
ever by bullet wound received under the
national colors at Gettysburg. is now
resident of Fort Collins. He served
through the war with distinguished brav-
cry.
Il served under President Mckinley
in 1868 and have met him frequently
since. Every meeting brings back to me
one Of the most patriotic expressions that
ever passed the lips of soldier. A par
ty of forty men under the then Maj.
Mckinley went on scouting duty. They
were perilous times then
''An went well until we reached the
top of a hill and unexpectedly ran into
a body of 'Johnnies' numbering between
500 and 400. They were in ambush,
drawn up in firing line and awaiting our
approach. Our first knowledge of their
presence in the ambush was a voiley
which brought down our three front tours
of horses and men,
Retreat" our captain shouted.
There is no such word as retreat,
boys; CHARGE came a second order, this
time from Maj. Mckinley, who. drawing
his sword, dashed ahead, followed by ev-
cry one Of our men except those who had
given their lives to the cause. The enc
my were completely astounded and al our
charge retreated in confusion"
Before we started on this scouting
expedition we were ordered TO take three
days provisions. l had sack Of pound
ed oats on the pommel Of my saddle.

the oats out to feed my horse. and found
fifteen bullets in the sack. Ny horse was
wounded, as was Maj. McKinley's. and
his sword hilt was cut TO pieces by bull
lets. Maj. Mckinley laughingly called
attention TO it, and at the same time
eomplimenting his men on their bravery,
remarked:
You have done me great favor,
boys, and if it ever lies in my power, I'll
| reciprocate.'

much later date for the sole purpose of
justifying the extension Of slavery into
the territories.
Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
ferson, the author Of the declaration of
independence, and Of the consent of the
governed doctrine, saw no incongruity
between this and the establishment of
a government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory; and he rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
ton Of his principle, saying in language
which at the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of a word, though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizens are
as yet as incapable Of self government
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for sin
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-government should be intro
duced throughout the territory, but only
as the different parts became fit for it
and no sooner. This is just the policy
that has been pursued.
Ei1ip iuos on bae1s OF Indians.
In no part Of the Louisiana purchase
was complete government introduced
for number of years; in one part of 1t,
the Indian Territory, 1t has not yet been
introduced, although nearly a century
has elapsed. Over enormous tracts Of it,
including the various Indian reserva-
tons, with a territory in the aggregate
as large as that OF the Philippines, the
constitution has never yet followed the
fag:" the army officer and the civilian
agent still exercise authority, without
asking the consent Of the governed
We must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution, taking each sue
cessive step as 1t becomes desirable, and
accommodating the details Of our policy
to the peculiar needs Of the situation
But as soon as the present revolt Is put
down and order established, it viii un-
doubtedly be possible to give to the ISL
ands a larger measure OF self-govern-
mnt than Jefferson originally gave Loui-
siana.
Florida Got Like Philippines.
The next great step in expansion was
the acquisition Of Florida. This was
partly acquired By conquest and partly
by purchase. Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure in the acquisition.
1t was taken under President Monroe
the aftertime President John Quincy
Adams being active in securing the pur-

establishment. Any territorial govern
ment we might establish would necessar-
lily, because Of the population, be an oil
garchy, which would have to be support
ed by armed soldiers.
Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions Of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed IN relation to an
''oligarchy" and armed soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tons urged against the acquisition Of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Militarism L. Not Involved.
We are making no new departure.
We are not taking a single step which
in any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees of
ries, according to their needs.
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling imperial
ism" or "militarism" involved in the
present development Of that policy of ex-
pansion which has been part of the his
tory Of America from the day when she
became a nation. The words mean abso-
lutely nothing as applied to our present
policy in the Philippines; for this policy
is only imperialistic in the sense that
Jefferson's policy in Louisiana was impe-
realistic; only military in the sense that
Jackson's policy toward the Seminoles or
Clusters toward the Sioux embodied mill
tarism; and there is no more danger Of
its producing evil results at home now
than there was Of It's interfering with
freedom under Jefferson or Jackson, or
in the days OF the Indian wars on the
plains. Our army is relatively not as
large as it was In the days of Wayne;
we have not one regular for every 1000
Inhabitants. There is no more danger of
a draft than there Is Of the re-introduc-
ton Of slavery.
Right 60 Suppress Rebels.
When we expanded over New Mexico
and California we secured free govern
ment to these territories and prevented
their falling under the "militarism" Of a
dictatorship like that Of Santa Ana, or
the imperialism" of real empire in the
days of Macmillan. We put a stop to
Imperialism in Mexico as soon as the
Civil War closed. We made a great
anti-imperialistic stride when we drove
the Spaniards from Porto Rico and the
Philippines and thereby made ready the
ground in these islands for that gradu-
ally increasing measure Of self-govern-

chase. As in the case Of the Philippines.
Spain, and in Florida the Seminoles, who
had not been consulted in the sale, re-
belled and waged war exactly as some
OF the Tagals have rebelled and waged
war in the Philippines. The Seminole
war lasted for many years, but Presi-
dents Monroe, Adams and jackson de-
clined for a moment to consider the ques-
ton Of abandoning Florida to the Semi
noles, or to treat their non-consent to the
government of the United States as valid
reason for turning over the territory to
them.
Texas and Alaska Were Accessious.
Our next acquisition of territory was
that Of Texas, secured by treaty after it
had been wrested from the Mexicans by
the Texans themselves. Then came the
acquisition of California, New Mexico.
Arizona, Nevada and parts of Colorado
and Utah as the result Of the Mexican
war. supplemented FIVE years later by
the Gadsden purchase.
The next acquisition was that OF Alas
ka, secured from Russia by treaty and
purchase. Alaska was full of natives,
some of them had advanced well beyond
the stage Of savagery and were Chris
tians. They were not consulted about
the purchase nor was their acquiescence
required. The purchase was made by
the men who had just put through tri-
umphant war to restore the union and free
the slave; but none of them deemed it
necessary to push the doctrine Of the
consent of the governed to concur
sion so fantastic as to necessitate the
turning over OF Alaska TO its original
owners, the Indian and the Aleut- For
thirty years the United States authori-
ties, military and civil, exercised the SUI
preme authority in tract OF land many
times larger than the Philippines, in
which it did not seem likely that there
would ever be any considerable body Of
white inhabitants.
Hawaii Disproves Danger Idea.
Nearly thirty years passed before the
next instance Of expansion occurred,
which was over the island Of Hawaii. An
effort was made at the end Of President
Harrison's administration to secure the
annexation of Hawaii. The effort was
unsuccessful
| In a debate in Congress on Feb. 2,
1894, one of the leaders in opposing the
annexation OF the islands stated: These
| islands are more than 1000 miles distant
from our extreme western boundary. We
have serious race problem now in our
country and / am not in favor Of adding
to our domestic fabric a mongrel popu-
| lation (of this character). Our consti-
tuition makes no provision for colonial

gie. and were confirmed 30 us By the
treaty Of peace In 1888.
Yet the land thus confirmed was not
then given to US. It was held by an
alien foe until the army under Gen. An
thony Wayne freed Ohio from the red
man, while the treaties Of Jay and Pinck-
ney secured from the Spanish and Brit
ish Matches and Detroit.
Louisiana Purchase and Philippines.
In 1903, under President Jefferson. the
greatest single stride in expansion that
we ever took was taken by the purchase
Of the Louisiana territory. This so-called
Louisiana, which included what are now
the States of Arkansas, Missouri, Louis
lana. Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebras-
ka. North and South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and a large part Of Colorado
and Utah, was acquired by treaty and
purchase under President jefferson ex-
actly and precisely as the Philippines
chase under President Mckinley.
The doctrine OF s.the consent Of the
governed" the doctrine previously enun-
ciated by jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence, was not held by him or by
any other sane man to apply TO the In-
dian tribes in the Louisiana territory
which he thus acquired, and there was
no vote taken even of the white inhab-
itants, not to speak Of the negroes and
Indians, as to whether they were willing
that their territory should be annexed.
The great majority of the inhabitants,
white and colored alike, were bitterly OPP
posed to the transfer.
Jefferson Forced Consent.
An armed force of United States sol
diers had to be hastily sent into the ter
ritory to prevent instruction, President
Jefferson sending these troops to Louisi-
ana for exactly the same reasons and
with exactly the same purpose that Pres
ident Mckinley has sent troops to the
Philippines.
jefferson distinctly stated that the
Louisianians were mot fit or ready for
self-government," and years elapsed be-
fore they were given self-government,
Jefferson appointing the governor and
other officials without any consultation
with the inhabitants Of the newly &C
quired territory. The doctrine that the
Constitution follows the flag" was not
then even considered either by Jefferson
or by any other serious party leader, for
it never entered their heads that a new
territory should be governed other than
in the way in which the territories of
Ohio and Illinois had already been gov
erned under Washington and the elder
Adams; the theory known by this utterly
false and misleading phrase was only
struck out in political controversy at a

FiIipinos' Hope Of Liberty.

There is every reason why as rapidly
as an Indian. or any body Of Indians,
becomes fit for self-government, he or it
should be granted the fullest equality
with the whites; but there would be no
justification whatever in treating this
fact as a reason for abandoning the wild
tribes to work out their own destruction.
Exactly the same reasoning applies in the
case Of the Philippines To turn over
the islands to Aguinaldo and his follow
ers would not be to give selfgovernment
to the islandersi under no circumstances
would the majority thus gain self-gov-

that all the rest should 80 to church

first time In months, Robert and his
wife and Bess and the two boys sat to
gether in the same seat. George had
not been to church for year, and VIII
was very irregular in his attendance.
The opening services seemed espe-
cially impressive and beautiful to Mr..
Hardy. He wondered how he had ever
dared sit and crticise Mr.. Jones and
the way he had Of reading the hymns.
To be sure. he was not perfect speak.
er, but his love for his people and his
great love for men and his rare good
life every day were so well known that
they ought to have counted for more
than they ever did.
1t Is astonishing how many good
deeds and good men pass through this
world unnoticed and unappreciated,
but every evil deed Is caught up and
magnitied and criticised by press and
people until 1t seems as II the world
must be very wicked place indeed
and the good people very scarce indeed.
Mr.. Hardy joined in the service with
q Joy unknown to him for years. He
had come to it from the reading Of his
Bible instead of the reading Of the
morning paper and from prayer In.
stead Of from thoughts Of his business
or yawning stroll through his library.
His mind was receptive of the best
things In the service. He entered into II
with the solemn feeling that it was his
last.
And when the minister gave out the
text. For we must all appear before
the Judgment seat Of Christ, that ev.
cry man may receive the things done
In his body. whether they be good or
bad" he started and leaned forward
intently, feeling that the message Of
the preacher was for him and him
alone and strangely appropriate for
his own peculiar condition. The first
statement Of the sermon arrested his
attention and held him to the argu.
ment irresistibly to the end:
'The judgment seat Of Christ will
not be dreadful place to man whose
