If the Supreme Court decides
in due time that the United Stat
es has no right to hold territory
without giving it full rights with
the rest of the country, what
will the republicans do with the
Philippines ? Port Rico can be
assimilated, perhaps, but how
about the millions of Malays, on
whom will be conferred all the
privileges and rights of Ameri-
can citizens, including that to
for 25 cents day and strike
down American wages.

Il
licly stated, when he appeared
with his ships and soldiers be-
fore the city, he received a let
ter from the business people OF
Iloilo, principally foreigners,
stating that good order was being
maintained, life and property'be-
ing protected, and requesting
him not to attack at present"
But soon afterwards he received
| peremptory orders to attack, and
did so; and then the killing and
the burning of houses and other
work of devastation began. Can
it be said that our troops had to
go there to ''restore order" land
prevent bloodshed and devasta-
ton ? No, order and safety. ex-
listed there, and it was only with
our troops that the bloodshed
and devastation came which 9TH
erwise might not have. occurred.
l am far from meaning to pic
ture the Philippine Islanders as
paragons of virtue and gentle
conduct. But 1 challenge the
Imperialists to show me any in
stances of bloody disturbance or
other savagery among the suffi-
cient to create any necessity for
our armed interference to ire
store order" or to "save them
from anarchy" I ask, and de-
mand an answer: Is it not true
that, even if there has been such
a disorderly tendency, it would
have required a long time for it
to kill one-tenth as man human
beings as we have killed and to
cause one-tenth as much devas-
tation as we have caused by our
assaults upon them ? Is it not
true that, instead of being oblig-
ed to "restore order" we have
carried riot and death and DESC
lation into peaceful communities
whose only offense was not that
they did not maintain order and
safety among themselves, but
that they refused to accept us as
their rulers -? And here is the
rub.
In the vocabulary of our i'm
perialists ''order" means, above
all, submission to their will. Any
other kind of order, be it ever
so peaceful and safe, must be
suppressed witch bloody hand.
This 'order" is the kind that has
been demanded by the despot
since the world had a history.
Its language has already become
dangerously familiar to us-a
familiarity which cannot cease
too soon.
From all these points of view.
therefore, the Philippine war
was as unnecessary as it is un-
just. A wanton, wicked, and
abominable war-so it is called
by untold thousands of American
citizens, and so it is at heart felt
to be, | have no doubt, by an
immense majority of the Ameri-
can people. Aye, as such it is
cursed by many of our very sold
lers whom our government ord
ers to shoot down innocent peo.
pie. And who will deny that this
war would certainly have been
avoided had the President re.
manned true to the national
pledge that the war against
Spain should be a war of liberia
ton and humanity and not of
conquest ? Can there be anv
doubt that, if the assurance had
honestly been given and carried
out, we might have had, for the
mere asking, all the coaling sta

is. what do we propose no"
We may fairly turn about ana
say. since not we, but YOU nave
cot the country into this fright
full mess. what have you to pro
pose {? Well, and what is the
answer =? mo useless parley |!
More soldiers /! More guns
More blood ! More devastation!
Kill, kill, kill And when we
have killed enough, so that fur-
Their resistance stops, then we
shall see." Translated from
smooth phrase into plain Eng
fish, this is the program. Let
us examine it with candor and
GOODNESS.
What is the ultimate purpose
of this policy To be perfectly
fair, | will assume that the true
spirit of American imperialism Is
represented not by the extrem-
lists who want to subjugate the
Philippine Islanders at any cost
and then exploit the islands to
the best advantage of the con-
querors, but by the more hum
ane persons who say that we
must establish our sovereignty
over them to make them happy,
to prepare them for self-govern-
ment, and even recognize their
right to complete independence
as soon as they show themselves
fit for it.
Let me ask these well-meaning
citizens simple question. Ii
you think that the American
people may ultimately consent to
the independence of those island
ers as a matter of right and good
policy, why do you insist upon
killing them now -? You answer ::
Because they refuse to recognize
our sovereignty. Why do they
so refuse p? Because they think
themselves entitled to independ-
ence, and are willing to fight and
die for it. But if you insist upon
continuing to shoot them down
for this reason, does not that
mean that you want to kill them
for demanding the Identical thing
which you yourself think that
you may ultimately find it just
and proper to grant them !?
Would not every drop of blood
shed in such a guilty sport cry
to heaven ? For you must not
forget that establishing. our SOW
ereignty in the Philippines means
the going on with the work of
slaughter and devastation to the
grim end, and nobody can tell
where that end will be. To kill
men in just war and in obed-
fence to imperative necessity is
one thing. To kill men for de-
handing what you yourself may
ultimately have to approve, is
another. How can such killing
adopted as a policy be counter
anced by a man of conscience
and humane feelings =? And yet,
such killing without useless par
ley is the policy proposed to us.
We are told that we must trust
President Mckinley and his adj
visers to bring us out "all right"

SO; but | cannot forget that thew

here we have to consider a point
OF immense importance, which 7
solemnly urge upon the atten-
ton of the American people.

principles of our system of demo
cratic government that only Con.

made the principal address, and he strongly
urged the Importance OF the ratification of
the treaty at as early a day as possible.
saying that II was necessary to the well
fare of the black races in their native con-
tinent. Members of the committee assured
the bishop of their Endorsement OF the
principle involved and informed him that
the failure of the Senate TO consider 1t had
been entirely due to the pressure of other
business. A number of petitions were pre-
sented urging that the treaty should not
only be ratified, but that the principle In
voived should be applied TO other uncivil-
tied portions of the world.
