anything. But he doesn't attempt TO account for
Mr. Bryan's persstency in forcing its adoption
When one plank Of political platform is adj.

TITLE BY PURCHASE.
From the Washington Post und.).

FROM thc washington Post Und).
Mr.. Bryan says: at is impossible to secure
title to people by force or by purchase" '1m.
possible" means that which cannot be done
We assume that by "ttle to a people" Mr.
Bryan means sovereignty over people. That Is
not ownership, in the case Of slaves, but 1t is
the right to govern. IN our case sovereignty
implies the right to govern. Our fathers 80.
cured the sovereignty Of this country by force
And while they did not except in a few instanc.
es, claim or assert absolute ownership OF the
aboriginals az il they were cattle, they subju.
gated them and took possession Of their lands
That has been going on all over the world since
the dawn Of history. The Israelites took their
title to the land Of Canaan by var OF eStcr-
mnaton, in which neither age nor sex was
spared. As Mr.. Bryan frequently displays famil-
iarity with the Old Testament, he will remcn-
Der that the campaign which resulted in the
conquest OF the promised land and tho slaughter
OF its inhabitants were directed by the God Of
Israel.

But we need not go into ancient history, nor
need we leave our own country for illustrations
OF title by purchase. 1t is one Of the proudest
boasts Of the greatest Of Mr. Bryans three parties
that it has added vast areas to our more than
imperial domains. In achieving those grand re-
past did not ask consent Of the peoples whom
they annexed by purchase. In 1903 Thomas
Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory and
Its varied assortment Of inhabitants for sl5,00O,.
900. Who asked or cared for 'the consent OF
the governed" in that transaction7 Is not our
title to that vast trans. Mississippi region vaidf

In 1915 this republic purchased Florida and
the right to control its heterogeneous popula'
tion, paying for the title s5000,00o. We did
not ask their consent, and the administration sent
General Jackson with an imposing, sonorous title
to govern them. And he did govern them In
about as "imperial' fashion as anything in
that line that national history records. In
1s4s we had another and very considerable trans.
action in real estate, whereby, in consideration
Of SIS, ,0O0 we acquired title to the lands
and peoples Of New Mexico and California. James
X Polk was president, and James Buchanan
was secretary of state. No consent OF the peo-
Pile was asked, and they were governed-wcll and
honorsbly goyemed-for years under the authorl-
ty vested in the president as commander in chief
OF the army Under the administration OF
Franklin Pierce, whose secretary Of state was
William L. Marcy, we secured in 1858, for sl0,-
900, 0O0 a valid title to South Arizona and its
population Of various coors Again no consent
was asked. In 1867, President Andrew johnson
and Secretary Of State William II. Seward paid
s. 10000 for Alaska, the inhabitants going with
the land as usual and no consent asked or cared
for.
Each Of these transactions was precisely like
that which placed the Flipinos under our sover'
eighty, and all that the term implies. And
neither the United States any other power
has a more lawful title to any part Of its do
main than We have to the Philippines
