esBLOOD OF THE NATION"
Subject of an Address by David Starr
Jordan

New York, March 21-Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president OF the Leland
Stanford university, was the speaker
at meeting of the Patria club, held in
the banquet hall of the Hotel Savoy
last night and his subject was, THE
Blood of the Nation" DR.. Jordan be-
gan by saying that it is recognized that
the blood of a nation in a large degree
determines its history, and that, in a
similar fashion the history of a nation
determines its blood. He said in part:
1.-The only way in which any race as
a whole has improved has been through
the preservation of its best and the loss
of it's worst examples. The conditions
which favor this are democracy, equal
ity before law, or the conditions which
equalize opportunity and give each
man the right to stand or fall on the
powers God has given him.
THE only race degeneration ever
known is that which is produced by
one or all of democracys arch enemies
slavery, arist2cracy, m1litarism and
imperialisn-the four tyrants of human
politics, not one of which appears with
out the others.
'Degeneracy of the individual is quite
another thing and has its own serious
causes. a lot of crazy painters, drunk
en- musicians, maudlin poets and sensa-
ton hunters on the boulevards proves
nothing as to race degeneracy. Any
man of any race may degenerate in an
environment Of vice, disease and absin-
the, DuI ne may ledNe his A1SS Gil
the cleaner for his degeneration.
WAR may seem to make men strong
when the hot passions are on, but hot
passion is not inherited, least of all
when the warrior is slain and leaves no
inheritance. War can only waste and
corrupt. If any war is good civil war
must be best. The virtues of victory
and the lessons of defeat would be kept
within the nation. 1t would protect the
nation from the temptation to fight for
gold or trade The remedy for most
ills of men is not to be sought in war,
not in whirlwinds of rebellion that
shake the world, but in peace and JUS
tice, equality among men and the Gull
tivation of those virtues we call Chris
tian, because they have been virtues
ever since man and society began and
will be virtues still when the era of
strife is past and the red coat bully in
his boots no longer hides the march of
man from rs"

OBJECTIONS FILED.
Two Prominent Democrats Crit
icise Nebraska Platform.

Washington, March 21.-Ex-Postmas-
ter General Don NJ Dickinson said last
night of the Nebraska Democratic plat
form:
I had hoped that the Democratic
party would be allowed to write its
platform this year When the Lincoln
party begins by adopting the Chicago
platform entire, and then proceeds to
reassert it in particular and we are
given to understand that this platform
is to be offered to the Democrats later
on, perhaps we are to be disappointed. .
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman
of the national committee, said:
Il don't know why the newspapers
should say that this is Mr.. Bryan's
platform, but 1 think it very admir-
able expression of what Democrats all
over the country are saying and think
ing just now. The plank about the in
itiative and referendum is perhaps an
exception. Within certain limits the
referendum is a good thing. I don't be-
neve, however, in submitting all kinds
of legislation and all public questions to
the popular vote.

agree heartily with the first two pro-
positions. I believe in giving the Fill
pinos independence but when it comes
to protecting them from outside inter-
publics of Central and South America,
that is a subject which requires consid-

extend the Monroe doctrine to the Phil

form as a very happy expression of
Democratic sentiment and strongly ap-

DEWEY FELL ILL.
Upset the Programme For His
Entertainment at Savannah.

Savannah, Ga, March 21-The pro-
gramme for the entertainment of Ad-
miral and Mrs. Dewey was broken last
evening by the illness of the admiral.
A public reception had been arranged
for the hours between 9 and IL o'clock
and 5000 persons gathered at the Desoto
hotel to greet the distinguished visitors.
But the admiral was too i'll to appear
and this function had to be called off.
The admiraFs attack which is of in
digestion occurred on board the revenue
cutter Hamilton, while the party was
on trip down the river and harbor.
Surgeon General Wyman, of the marine
hospital service and DR.. st. J. Graham,
who were aboard the cutter, admins
tered to the admiral but his indisposi-
ton was so severe that it was deemed
best to bring him back to the city The
admiral is resting easy and his ply
sicians say he will no doubt be able to
go on with the programme of arrange
mentS.
All the shipping in the harbor, foreign
and domestic, was decorated gaily in
honor of the admiral. Mrs. Dewey was
entertained by a committee of ladies at
the yacht club, where she heard plan
tation songs by chorus of pickanin-

Of the Influences which moved members

the most powerful was the desire t.
end the war and commence the work
of liberty and freedom in those far-off
islands The reasons for the war with
the Filipino and the imperiIlistic pol
icy Of the Republican administration
must be sought outside Of the treaty
of Paris.
Among these causes is the greed Of
those of our countrymen who set self
above honor ana country: who for their
own selfish ends are willing to re-es-
tahlish slavery within the domain of
this country and withhold the cOnsti-
tuition from part of the people. In
horrors Of war are to them but means
to accomplish their sordid ends.
II hold that the title and possession
of the Filipino archipelago has been
perfected in the United States and no
matter whether by treaty or by force
of arms, there is left but one of two
courses open to this government as to
their disposition The one is that they
be retained as Il territory. with the Ill
