1HE ARGUMENT OF OBLIGATION.

.ASse the Contention That Filipinos Cannot
Govern Themselves.
II It is said that we have assumed

Philippine islands, reply, first. that

any particular nation, or to all nations
combined, can require the abandon.
.ment of our theory of government and
the substitution of doctrines against,
which our whole national life has been
A protest. And, second, that our obli-
cations to the Filipinos who inhabit
the islands are greater than any obli-
kat1on which we can owe to foreigners
who have temporary residence in the
Philippines or desire to trade there.
1t is argued by some that the Fill
pinos are incapable of self f-government
and that therefore we owe it to the
world to take control of them. Ad-
miral Dewey, in an official report to
the navy department. declared the Fill
ptnos more capable of self-government
than the Cubans. and said that he based
his opinion upon knowledge of both
races. But will not rest the case upon
the relative advancement Of the Fill
.pinoe. Henry Clay, in defending the
rights of the people Of South America
to self-gOvernment. said: "It is the
doctrine of thrones that man is too ig-
ln0rant to govern himself" II
contend that it is to arraign the dispo-
.sition Of Providence Himself to sup.
pose that He has created beings inca
pable of governing themselves. and to
be trampled OH by kings. Self-govern-
ment is the natural government of
men,"
Clay was right. - Once ad-
NIT that some people are capable of
Self-gOvernment and that others are
not. and that the capable people have
q right to seize upon and govern the

Some argue that American rule in
the Philippine islands will result in the
better education of the FilipinOs. Be
not deceived. If we expect to main
tain colonial policy. we shall not find
it to our advantage to educate the peo-
pie. The educated Filipinos are now
in revolt against us. and the most ig-
norant ones have made the least re-
sistance to our domination. If we are
to govern them without their consent
and give them no voice in determining
the taxes which they must pay, we
dare not educate them, lest they learn
to read the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the constitution of the United
States and mock us for our inconsist:
ency.

Shot 'em Full of Holes.

=
Valley City has a shooting.
1t seems that Saturday evening
a week ago, asreal estate man
named Jesse freeman of above
named place had a young lady.
visitor in. his room. And then
it occurs that four young men
heard of it and thought they
would have little fun with
him by throwing missels
against his door, and otherwise
tantalizing him, when Mr..
Freeman appeared at the door
and discharged a double barrel
shot gun at two of the gang.
Howard Hittsman got "hit"
with 21 No. 5 bird shot in the
back of the head, and Tom
LIME caught 100 in his back,
scattered from his "calves" to
his head. Monday Freeman was
bound over in the sum of $500.
The young men who were out
for little fun themselves are
a little ."sore" but about as
usual.
And then Sunday, Fargo
Call, said:
The Fargo girl who was the
"cause of the war" in the re-
cent Valley City shooting
scrape, and who came to this
city shortly after the unfor-
tunate affair which nearly cost
two young men their lives, re-
turned to that city yesterday,
accompanied by young lady
friend from this city, with the
expectation, it is understood, of
making that city their home
for the time being. But the
police couldn't entertain the
idea, not for moment, and the
girls were notified to move on
or go to Jail. They took the
train for Minneapolis, at least
they said they were going
there.

The pecuniary argument, though
more effective with certain classes, is
not likely to be used so often or pre-
ssented with so much emphasis as the
religious argument. If what has been
termed the "gunpowler gospel" were
urged against the filipinos only it
would be Il sufficient answer to say
that a majority of the Filipinos are

We cannot approve Of this doctrine
In one place unless we are willing to
apply 1t everywhere. II there is poison
In the bloodo of the hand it will ultimate
~ reach the heart. 1t 1s equally true
that forcible Christianity, if planted
under the American flag in the far
away Orient, will sooner or later be
transplanted upon American soil.
Let 1t be known that our mis-
sionaries are seeking souls instead of
sovereignty; let 1t be known that in
stead Of being the advance guard of
conquering armies. they are going
forth to help and to uplift,
and the welcome given to our mission
aries will be more cordial than the
welcome extended to the missionaries
Of any other nation.
The argument, made by some, that
it was unfortunate for the nation that
1t had anything to do with he Philip
pine islands, but that the naval victory
at Manila made the permanent acqui-
sitfOn of those islands necessary. Is also
unsound. We Won naval victory at
Santiago, but that did not compel us
to hold Cuba. The shedding of Ameri-
can blood in the Philippine islands does
not make it imperative that we should
retain possession forever.
There Is an easy, honest, honorable
solution of the Philippine question. 1t
Is set forth in the Democratic platform
and it Is submitted with confidence to
the American people. This plan un-
reservedly indorse. If elected, shall
convene congress in extraordinary ses-
sion as soon as l am inaugurated, and
recommend an immediate declaration
of the nations purpose-first, to estab-
lish stable form Of government in the
Philippine islands, just as we are now
establishing stable form of govern
ment in the island of Cuba; second, to
give independence to the Filipinos,
just as we have promised to give inde-
pendence to the Cubans; third. to pro.
tect the Filipinos from outside inter-
ference while they work out their des-
tiny, just as we have protected the re-
publics of Central and South America,
and are, by the Monroe doctrine,
pledged to protect Cuba. -
