be placed upon our alleged title
from Spain, there is a higher
ground to be taken against the
position assumed by the repub-
lican administration. 1t is woven
into the warp and woof of our
national fabric, and to every
American it's words ring true as
sacred lore. The signors of the
Declaration of Independence lived
and felt what these words say:
eve hold these truths to be
self-evident-that all men are
created equal; that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights; that
among these rights, governments
are instituted among mon, DE-
RIVING THEIR JUST POW
ERS FROM THE CONSENT
OF THE GOVERNED"
The Filipinos do not consent to
be governed by us, And we have
nc right, human or Divine, to
force our government upon them.
1t is true that the American
flag, fguratively speaking, has
never come down where once
planted, nor is it now counseled
that it shall. Better, however
a thousand times better-that it
should come down in honor than
remain aloft in dishonor; better
that it's folds should float over
freemen and not subjects; better
that it should now and ever re-
main the symbol of liberty, JUS
tice and equality than Of aggres-
sion, tyranny and greed.

There may be better towns than
Grand Junction, but somehow
they manage to elude the people
who leave here in quest of them.
Like the historic cat, they always
come back.
We suppose it is inherent in
human nature to build air castles
in Spain, because Spain is a long
way off, to chase shadows, be-
cause we know we will never
catch up with them and to lay
out cities in the dissolving clouds
rather than on the solid earth.
The miner passes over the gold
and silver of the Rocky Noun
tains to face the Arctic bleakness
of the Klondike and Nome. There
are more riches and comfort at
home, but distance lends en-
chantment. So the bucther, the
baker and the candlestick maker
move on from town TO town, seek
ing in vain for that idyl spot
which fancy has painted.
Visitors to Grand Junction
from other points see Prosperity's
bow of promise circling our val
ley, but many of those who bask
in it's radiance are as the blind.
Their eyes are focused for some
distant point, and they cannot
recognize Good Times should they
meet the goddess t1amping
through our dusty streets.
There was once traveller who
met an aged negro. "How far is
it from Grand Junction to Denver
Uncle ?" said he. "Well, dat de-

replied the darkey. "If you
walks, it's a mighty long ways off
if you takes de steam cyahs, it's
not very fab, and if you 60 by
Electricity, youse dar alreddy."
The people of this city and
county are "dar alreddy," and
the more they pursue phantom for
tune the more do they recognize
this fact. They may travel from
Philadelphia to the Philippines
and from the northern lights to
the southern cross and they will
find Prosperity gaining lap on
them with every mile.

THE FLAG OF THE FREE.

between here and the Philippines
to inform us that the war is over.
President Mckinley and Mark
Hanna and Secretary Root and
Secretary Hay, and all the others
who are supposed to know the
mysteries of republican manipu-
lation, also Join in the fable that
the Filipino is subdued and peace
broods like a gentle spirit over
the land of the sunset seas.
Perhaps we should not doubt,
but when we pick up the papers
day by day and read the list OF
fatalities from the far-off archi-
pelago, we should be excused if
we fail to understand. We are
told one thing and yet incontro-
vertible evidence points to the
ulrecu contrary.
The administration has no
right to keep information on this
subject from the people. The
taxpayer Of America has not de-
generated into serf, and there
fore expects to know where and
how his money is expended The
great body of our people are in
telligent and of an inqulring turn
OF mind, and will not long be sat
is6ed to walk blindfolded.
The republicans may spout
mock heroics about where tha flag
once goes up it shall never come
down, but talk of that kind is
cheap. 1t is no sign of weakness
for man to change his mind
in fact, he is fool if he does not,
when shown to be wrong. The
same rule applies to nations. If
the United States government has
done wrong she should be big
enough and broad d-minded enough
to rectify it. The flag can be de-
pended upon to take care of
itself.
The republican administration
would surely show larger de-
gree of patriotism if it should do
less lying about the real condi-
tions in the Philippines, less
grand-stand prattle about the
star-spangled banner and display
more genuine effort toward bring
ing about just and honorable
settlement of the matter.
Why should not the United
States government treat with the
Filipinos and why did it not so
do in the first place? The policy
of our country is to arbitrate, to
give hearing to the humblest, to
listen to both sides. Why was
an exception made in the Filipi-
nos case2
The republicans say we acquir-
cd title to the Philippines from
Spain, but when did Spain ac-
quire the ownership of the
islands? The Filipinos did not
acknowledge Spanish sovereignty,
no more than do they now accept
American rulership;; and to the
unprejudiced mind it is clear that
all that Spain was able to trans
fer and did transfer to the United
States was legacy of three hun
cred years of war with the Phil
ippines, which the United States
took up and continued. If
change from the present policy IL
