more or less away from town and into

DIR PHILIPPINE DUTY.

1t may safely be believed that Agui-
naldo's proclamation to the Filipino peO-
pie, acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States, marks
the beginning of a new and tranquil era
in that lOng-trOubled archipelago and
promises to the American Government
the early and satisfactory solution Of
the Philippine problem.
The especially gratifying feature Of the
Aguinaldo proclamation is that this pa
triot leader seems to have recognized the
truth that American domination means
for the Filipinos something infinitely
different from Spanish domination. This
is indicated in the terms Of his reference
to this Government as al irresistible
force, which, while 1t restraints his peo-
Die, vet enlightens their minds and opens
to them another course, presenting them
the cause Of peace.
1t is also to be noted that Aguinaldo
clearly secs, and frankly confesses, that
the Filipinos are already beginning to
enjoy liberty under American rule, a
circumstance upon which he bases his
expressed belief that his people will yet
come into the enjoyment of their full
liberty. This is a significant confession,
the sincerity Of which there is no rea-
son to doubt, and the manliness with
which it is made cannot fail to impress
the outside world with the belief that
Aguinaldo is something better than the
insurgent m%alcontent and self-seeker he
has been pictured by prejudiced minds.
The proclamation in question should
have a tremendous influence for peace in
the Philippines. 1t should also stimu-
late the American Government to ex-
traordinary effort for the good of this
conquered people and the entire fulfill
ment Of the pledge of freedom which
We have given them. They have now,
through their foremost leader, accepted
this pledge in good faith. Our conse
quent duty is plain.

REMEDY THE DEFECT.

In view of the confident recommended
tons Of certain members of the Naval
Board of Construction there would seem
to be little doubt as to either the neces-
sity or the feasibility of undermining the
battleships Oregon, Indiana and Massa-
chusetts by equipping them with super
imposed turrets.
1t is definitely urged that this can
easily be done. thus removing what is
now a most serious and dangerous defect
in their construction-the fact that under
certain conditions of gun-ire from their
present circular turrets the ships are
made to 'heel" SO greatly to n side
as to expose their unarmored bulls, else
safe under the water-line, to the enemy,
So important in these days is the sea
power Of q great Government that no
element Of weakness in the navy may
wisely be allowed to exist. These three
~battleships are not up to the standard
set by recent building. They can be
modernized as comparatively little cost.
Surely there should be no delay and no
quibbling as to the performance of this
important duty.
