"HAUL DOWN THE FLAG"

Republicans ask, Shall we haul down
the flag that floats over our dead in the
Philippines" The same question might
have been asked when the American flag
floated over Chapultepec and aWaved ov~
er the dead who fell there; but the tour
list who visits the city of Mexico finds
there a national cemetery owned by the
United States government and cared for
by an American citizen. Our flag still floats
over our dead but when the treaty with
Mexico was signed American authority
withdrew to the Rio Grande, and | ven
ture the opinion that during the last fifty
years the people of Mexico have made
more progress under the stimulus of in
dependece and self government than
they would have made unde. a carpet
bag government held IN place by bayo-
nets. The United States and Mexico,
friendly republics, are each stronger and
happier than they would have been had
the former been cursed and the latter
crushed by an imperalistic policy, dis
guised as benevolent assimilation"
Can we not govern colonies?" we are
asked. The question is not what we can
do, but what we ought TO do. This nation
can do whatever it desires to do, but IL
must accept responsibility for what ii
does. If the constitution stands in the
way, the people can amend the consti-
tuition. I repeat the nation can do what
ever it desires to do, but 1t cannot avoid
the natural and legitimate results OF its
own conduct, The young man upon reach
ing his majority can do what he pleases.
He can disregard the teachings OF his
parents; he can trample upon all that he
has been taught to consider sacredS he
can disobey the laws of the state, the
laws of society and the laws of God. He
can stamp failure upon his life and make
his very existence a curse to his fellow
men, and he can bring his father ana
mother in sorrow to the grave; but he
cannot annul the sentence, 1.-THE wages
of sin is death" And so with the nation
1t is of age and it can do what it pleases
it can repudiate the principles upon
Ii can repudiate the principles upon
which the nation rests; 1t can employ
force instead of reason; 1t can substitute
might for right; 1t can conquer weaker
people; IT can exploit their lands, ap-
propriate their property and kill their
people; but 1t cannot repeal the moral
law or escape the punishment decreed for
the violation of human rights.
Would we tread in the paths of tyranny.
Not reckon the tyrant's cost?

WOMEN AND HEROES.
Iowa State ReC!stcr.)

1t is an unfortunate fact that women
In their admiration and love for men so
often make fools of them, and especially
unfortunate when the man is one who
has been raised to the position of hero
by the voice of the people. One thing
that has been said of Admiral Dewey, in
the great popular praise of the man
who sent the Spanish feet to the bot
tom of Manila Bay, is that ne may be
likened unto Nelson, the great naval
commander. at the mention of whose
name all England to this day bows in
honor. 1t is true that Dewey may be
lil<ened unto Nelson and in more ways
than one. Almost exactly 100 years be-
fore the battle of Manila Bay came the
battle of the Nile, which made Nelson
almost exactly two years after that
famous battle of the Nile one of Mel
sons closest friends, an honest critic.
wrote of him that at is hard to use i'll
hero for being foolish about a woman
who has art enough to make fools OF
many wiser than an admiral" \ short
time later this same critic wrote of his
friend Nelson and the woman who was
making Il fool of him: "She goes on
examining Nelson with trowelfuls of
f1attery, which he goes on taking as
quietly as a child takes its pap" Two
years after the battle OF the Nile the
head of Nelson. the great, was turned
by woman. and two years after
Manila Bay. the head of Dewey. the
great, is being turned by n woman.

DANIEL WITH THE PEOPLE.

The Virginian- Pilot publishes to-day
an authorized statement from Hon.
John w. Daniel. which places this great
orator. advocate and statesman. in the
line of the peoples friend, an amended
Constitution. and submission to the
people.
We are gratified that Mr.. Daniel has
come out in his usual frank open man
mel. characteristic of the man. His re-
marks show his convictions and senti-
ments, and promise a mighty advocacy
on May I'd in the interest OF an amend
ed Constitution and submission to
the people.
AS men love brave. strong and good
leaders. so do Virginians feel proud to
line up behind such men as John War
wick Daniel. the Lame Lion of Lynch
burg, whose magical eloQuence has set
the hearts of men on fire; and Andrer '
jackson Montague, who is second to no
man In his matchlesS advocacy Of the
people and forensic ability. Witt. the
assurance born of just cause. and a
feeling OF pride and confidence III their
leaders and spokesman, those Demo-
Gratis who want n Constitution made by
Virginians for Virsinians, and endorsed
by Virginians at the polls, will move on
to victory. with the knowledge that the
pitiful opposition offered will be an OBJ
struction insufficient to be recognized,
much less felt.
1t is the peoples fight, so we'll ex-
pressed by Mr. Daniel:
81 have never supposed that a. Con-
stitution should, be framed without sub
mission to the people in the ordinary
way. and 1 confidently anticipate that
the Democrats in convention will so de-
clare"
Mr.. Daniels words. as published to-
day. give good cheer to the advocates
of the amended Constitution. when he
says:
Il will give my best efforts, and hope
to satisfy the people with my declara-
tions for a convention. for submission
of its work to the people. and for hop
Ing that 1t may not be convened until
next year"
The people cannot ask or expect
more.

And there ought to be laws making it
a criminal offense for any trust official
to speculate In the shares of his COM
pany. The officials know the financial
condition of their companies and there
fore deal in its shares with a knowledge
which an outsider does not possess.
The public knows nothing about the af-
fairs of trusts because no intelligent
statement OF them Is made. The law
does not require trusts to make state
ments which their shareholders can
understand. 1t really looks as If the
laws governing trusts were made so as
to assist trusts In robbing the people.

In defending the garroting OF five
Porto Ricans. the Republican press is
exhibiting a quality of thick-and- thin
partizanship that does 1t little credit.
and that does the administration little
good. The way of the Republican or
facts are that the use of the garrote
had been discontinued in Porto Rico
for five years; and that a convict had
to be pardoned from Prison in order to
secure an executioner. In stirring this
affair. the Republican press shows a
stomach somewhat stronger than dts

Commenting on recent paragraph
from this newspaper, the esteemed Pc
tersburg IndeX-Appeal assumes a
strange attitude with regard to the
proposition to pledge the Democratic
party to submit n revised Constitu-
ton to the vote of the people. 1t
says:
But we will not discuss this phase of
the question now, because 1t is prema-
ture to do so, and the main thing to be
determined now Is whether the Consti-
tutional convention proposition shall be
made a party issue by the Norfolk con-
vention."
And yet, In the same issue, our con-
temporary says that 1923 out of 775 dele
gates to the State convention are in
etructed to pledge the party to revision,
leaving but 81 necessary to secure a
majority. Two wards of Richmond
have since instructed delegates for re-
vision. and 1t is safe to say that
enough delegates will come instructed
to give q majority for revision. Why
then is the question of submission pre-
mature? II the party Is pledged at ALL
