THE business of benevolent assimila-
ton goes merrily on, even in the holt
days, as was shown by the hanging of
four Filipinos on one day. AS long as
this government pursues it's imperalistic
policy, there is no criticism of the SOL
diers who execute it in blood.
Theirs not TO reason why
Theirs but to do and die
The blame lies with Congress. Mr.. De-
Almond, who has recently returned from
the Philippines, spoke truthfully in the
House on Tuesday when he said:
1--WE acquired them in folly; let us
dispose Of them in wisdom. Almost every
man in the islands longs for independ-
once and liberty. How long will it be be-
