ted the policy of scuttle'' in the Philip
pines, the policy which our political OPP
ponents now champion, the streets of Ma
Mia would have witnessed such scenes
as those of the streets of Picking. To

to protect them against other civilized
nations would be exactly as If we now
sided with the Boxers in China, demand
ed for them the license to butcher their
neighbors. allowed them to establish
their own Independent government, and
then agreed to protect them from the
wrath of civilized mankind. A more
wicked absurdity than the Kansas City
proposition for dealing with the Philip

sentatives of responsible political party.

Some years ago when certain Eastern
ers were clamoring in the name of hu-
mainly against the army officers who
warred to protect the Western settlers
from the Indians. Gen. Sheridan wrote:
I do not know how far these humanita-
rians should be excused on account of
their ignorance. but surely it is the only
excuse that can give shadow of Justi-
fication for aiding and abetting such hor-
rid crimes
''The sch eming politicians Mt Kan

insurgents to fresh warfare against
our soldiers with the base hope that
thereby they may further their own
political advancement.
There are doubtless many worthy and
amiable gentlemen of humanitarian ten
denotes in the Northeast who oppose ex-
pansion now. as men like them have al
ways opposed expansion. In 1911, when
Louisiana was on the point of being ad-
mitted to the Union. and the country be-

so many of my hearers come-was being

Florida and New Mexico to Alaska.

the election of "a. and we have the right
to appeal to every man worthy to call

a disgrace so lasting that more than a

Dakotas who are here this evening can
appreciate the fatuousness of that state
ment by the simple process of thinking
whether your liberties have been abridged

kota troops who won such honor for them
selves in the Philippines There are geo.
metrical propositions so essentially absurd
that mathematicians hold their mere
statement to be equivalent to their refu-
tation. So it is with this proposition. If
it were worth while 1 would point out
it's dishonesty and insincerity. But fla.
grant though these are, its absurdity is
so much more fragrant that nothing need
be said.
$50 it is with their cant about militar-
ISM, and intimidation and oppression at
home as following what they are pleased
to call conquest abroad We cannot
argue with them on this proposition be-
cause no serious man thinks for one mo-
ment that they believe what they assert.
During the great Civil war there were
many preachers of the gospel of disloy-
atty among the so-called Copperheads of
the North, and these men. like their rep
resentatives among our opponents today,
prophesied the subdivision of the country
when the great armies of Grant and Sher-
man should come back from the war: but
the great armies of Grant and Sherman
returned to civil life and were swallowed
up among their fellow-citizens without
ripple. A considerable army was kept for
a year or two on the Indian frontier and
in some of the Southern states. but 1t

DOCTOR AND BURGLAR.
A Prominent Physicians Experience
With n Prisoner Patient.

A Prominent Physicians Experience
With Prisoner Patient.
1.-THE strangest patient l ever had"
said a prominent physician of this city
the other evening, was burglar. My
acquaintance with him began in singu-
lar manner.
After l was graduated I was engaged
at night in one of the largest hospitals
in New York, where l saw many strange
sights. One night our ambulance brought
in a prisoner patient, accompanied by
two policemen. The officers said that
the man had been surprised while
attempting to rob an apartment in large
f1athouse. A policeman was called who
chased him into a room with window
opening on an airshaft.
1T was warm weather and the shaft
window was open, as was also the window
in the apartment on the opposite side.
Finding himself closely pursued, the bur-
glar, who was young and athletic,
jumped from one window to the other,
clear across the airshaft
He landed in the other apartment all
right, but fell plump on a man who was
asleep in bed close to the shaft window.
The sleeper so rudely awakened gave a
yell and attempted to seize the burglar.
The latter in seeking to elude him and at
the same time avoid the policeman,
who was at the opposite window, threat
ened to shoot, fell down the airshaft,
and was badly injured.
II made an examination and found that
he had broken his right leg at the ankle,
was considerably bruised, and also suffer-
ing from shock from his fall 1 fixed him
up all right and he remained prisoner in
the hospital for several weeks. At first he
was morose and surly, but gradually he
began to show gratitude for the kind
treatment he received. He became a ia
vorite with all the doctors, and we gradu-
ally learned his story.
HE had been an honest, Woodworking
man in another city and had come to
New York to better himself. Having no
friends here, he was unable to obtain
work and soon spent all his savings.
He kept getting poorer and poorer and
while penniless and almost starving at
tempted his first burglary by breaking
into the fiat where he was caught.
I'VE took such an interest in him that,
although he was convicted. the judge sus-
pended sentence upon our proving his
previous good character and that it was
his first offense. He was an expert tin
smith, and we raised a subscription and
set him up in business in a little shop.
We sent all our friends to him. and he
prospered, and now has a large store here
He married and has several children, and
l have been his family physician for
years. Although all the doctors at the
hospital helped him at the start, he
showed his gratitude especially to me. as
l received him and fixed up his broken
leg the night he was brought prisoner
to the hospital New York Times.

Bitter indeed is the cup they hold out to

it. A., t ~
What they say about Cuba and Porto
Rico need not detain US for moment.
In Porto Rico we now have Governor
Allen in charge. We have established a
system under which the island Is advanc-
ing by leaps and bounds to prosperity.
In Cuba we have put Gen. Leonard
Wood in charge and all the preliminary
steps have been taken to give to the peo-
pie Of the island their own government.
Our pledge to Cuba shall of course be
Kept. Gen. Woods administration Is
a synonym for honesty and cleanliness,
and the minute that fraud was discov-
cred in the postal department, the wrong
doors were hunted down in unsparing
pursuit. and the best possible proof was
thereby given that we meant what we
said. and that governmental cleanliness
would be obtained in the only possible
way by the unsparing cutting out of cor
ruption wherever 1t was found.
I'VE now come to the Philippines, and
to the general question of expansion.
Many of the positions taken by the Pop
ulistic Democracy at the moment are so
palpably dishonest and maintained in
such palpable bad faith that to state
them Is sufficient. 1t is hardly necessary
to discuss what they say about 'the
Constitution following the flag" The
Democratic party never champoned the
Doctrine thus set forth save in the dark
days. when it had become the
Handmaiden of Slavery
and rebellion. and danced to any tune

pipe. When. under Jefferson, the great
West beyond the Mississippi was acquired,
when, largely through the Instrumental
ity of Jackson. Florida was added to the
Union, the new provinces, with their In
dian populations were governed precisely
and exactly on the theory under which
the Philippines are now governed. Pres
ident Jefferson secured the Louisiana pur-
chase just as President Mckinley secured
the Philippines and Andrew Jackson
warred against the Seminoles when we had
acquired Florida from Spain, precisely as
Gen. Macarthur is now warning against
the bandits among the Tagals, in Luzon.
Unless we are willing to deprive Jefferson
and Jackson of the need of honor which
has been held to be peculiarly theirs, we
cannot deny the same high praise to
President Mckinley. At Kansas City; the
men engaged in preaching the gospel of
oishonor and population solemnly as

mo, our opponents mean nothing and
know that they mean nothing when they
prate about militarism, when with forked
/ tongues they say that they favor ex-
pansion but are against imperialism.
They used precisely the same arguments
six years ago against our taking Hawaii
that they now use against our taking the
Philippines. They pulled down our flag
in Hawaii just as they now wish to pull
| 1t down in the Philippines. We had to
undo their work in Hawaii just as in the
end. but at an infinite cost Of bloodshed
and woe, we would have to do in the
philippines II they were successful in the
coming election. Yet not one of them
now would dream of saying that we were
not right about Hawaii; in fact they
could not do so, when by a strange irony
the Kansas City convention had to rely
upon the vote of Hawaii before 1t could
settle it's views on the financial system of
our country.
As Regards the Philippines,
even the Kansas City convention felt
that they had to propose some policy
What they propose is that we should
first give them stable form of govern
ment; second, independence. and third,
protection from outside interference. By
the order in which they put these propo-
sitions they showed their estimate of
their Importance. Well, what we are do
ing now is precisely and exactly to try to
secure stable form Of government in
the Philippines, and the chief obstacle
in our way is the support given to the
bloody Aguinalaian oligarchy by their
sympathizers among the people that were
represented in the Kansas City conven-
ton. Moreover now we are seeing that
no outside nation interferes in the island.
After we have secured a stable govern
ment we then intend to give them self
government as rapidly as they are fitted
TO- it. Our opponents say that they wish
now to give them independence. To give
independence now would be precisely
like giving independence" to the widest
tribe of Apaches in Arizona It would
mean the turning over of the most peace
full, law-abiding and prosperous part of
the population to be plundered by the
banditti that are following Aguinaldo.

awful tragedy that is following just ex-
actly such a movement as that which
the so-cailed anti-imperalists have
championed in the Philippines. The Box
