Imperialism and Free Speech
from the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
On the occasion of the Sanderson
Academy dinner at Ashheld, Mass,
last week Professor Charles Eliot Nor
ton, the Hon. Daniel H. Chamberlain,
and the Hon. Charles S. Hamlin, q
trio OF distinguished and incurable
anti-imperialists, freed their minds
after their usual fashion with perhaps
an increase OF intensity. 1t is natural
that their adherence of expansion.
which they regard not simply as a
mistake but as one of the most afro
cious crimes in history, should grow
stronger and wax hotter Proofs of
their own mistaken notions as to the
character of Aguinaldo and the origin
and progress of the armed conflict in
the Philippines have only aggravated
their sense of the diabolism of our
government. With them, as with Rob
ert Burns i'm Highland Mary" "Time
but III impression stronger makes. as
streams their channels deeper wear. -
Professor Norton, on this occasion,
not only surpassed all Of his associate
orators in denunciation Of our govern
ment, but he beat his own record by
several laps. His address was a wild
TRADE, and some of his most material
allegations are squarely disproven by
documents which the anti-imperial
association has collected and pub
lished
But those men had a right to speak
what was in their hearts and minds.
The day is far distant, we trust when
disgruntled Americans will be mmz-
zled. Our government policy toward
The Nortons, Hamlins. etc. has always
been, and we believe always will be,
unlimited tolerance. In the words Of
a hymn that used to be sung in meet
ings for prayer and exchange of ex-
perience. our laws and usages virtu-
ally say to such afflicted citizens,
Speak and let the worst be known,
speaking may relieve you"

and the average man regards a nOIe
due year or TWO hence as a much
lighter burden than one due to-mor-

Settling day is a long way of when
a municipality or a county offers a few
hundred thousand dollars bonus pay
able In twenty or thirty years TO a
railroad OF similar enterprise This Is
frequently done in a time Of patriotic
and generous excitement But the first
OF themonth always comes in due time
and the bills come in. Sometimes
there is prOvocation fer refusing to
pay. Often it is a case Of paying for
a dead horse. But honesty is the best
policy for cities and counties, as well
as for individuals. Legislation spe-

which makes it harder to pay debts.

GOVERNOR HUNN's SECRETARY

The editorial utterance from the
State Sentinel which we quoted in part
in an article in these columns yester-
day will doubtless be regarded Z as
somewhat remarkable, since that pa
per is the chief mOuthpiece of the Ad-
dicks organization but 1t will doubt
less create surprise when Il Is learned
that the utterance In question was
from the pen of c. h. Layton, secre-
tary Of State He informs the writer
that such is the case, and therefore.
the authorship is settled.
We have, then, the Secretary of
State. appointed by a governor who
was elected by the votes of all Repub-
licans, in public print assailing the
administration, and demanding that a
certain cabinet officer be retired.
What is the occasion of this protest?
Whsy that Addicks, his master, seems
unable to control the Delaware patron
age. The manner Of Dr. Layton's Sc
lection should preclude any public
utterance derogatory to either Regular
Republicans or the administration.
Without the votes of those opposed to
Addicks. John HUM would not have
been elected, and DR. Layton would
not have been placed i'm a position to
insult decent people. and throw mud
at the head of the party. We wonder
whether the governor is proud of his
secretary by this time
DIR. Layton admits in private con-
versation that Addicks has made a
mistake in every crisis, that he does
fut understand Delaware and Della
wareans, but he would make him SEN
ator because Of the length OF his
purse And yet he has the nerve in
public 10 prate of majority rule" and
PARTY organization" and discipline"
When it comes TO that, what is more
essential than that there should be a
certain amount of respect for the opin-
ions Of the head OF a party? This
disloyalty to Mckinley arises from an
inability TO control the patronage It
is scrap over mess OF pottage. "
We wonder whether Governor HUM
has ever considered the question OF
offensive partisanship in his subordi-
mates?
