Lincoln andImperialism.

The Nashville American and some of
the other imperialism journals of the
south-of which their are not very
many have been making the point
that southerners who have been forced
to submit to the authority Of the U nited
States cannot consistently make the
.consent-of- the-goyerned argument with
regard to the Philippines. Frrther
they say that quoting Abraham Lin
coin, who said that God Almighty
never made a man good enough to
govern another man without that
mans consent. as the champion OF the
consent OF the-g governed theory, loses
its force when 1t considered that Abra-
ham Lincoln was the war president
who subdued the south. @
Now, that this is q very bitter argu-
ment for . paper published in the south
to make. Abraham Lincoln undoubt-
eddy believed in the consent Of the

Irrigation and Ship Subsidy.

Irrigation is national blessing. 1t
changes the Atmosphere, fertilizes
the soil and will protect 50,00G,0OO
American people now living between
the Gulf Of Mexico, the Rocky noun
tains and the A'ieghenies in sunni er
from the ravages Off famine and peri
odic drouths.
Ship subsidy is such a brazen attempt
+ to flch money from the national treas
ury that Senators Allison and Doliver
OF Iowa, Spocner and Quaries of Wis
.consin, republicans as they are, refused
to swallow the nauseating, dose and rob
their constituents.
The west-from the Alleghenies to
the Rocky mountains-needs irrigation
to foster, protect and develop it's agri
cultural and industrial interests. 1t is
a national necessity, lneeded, indeed,
to furnish traffic for the very ships
which are to have the benefit of this
subsidy unless the house of representa-
tives votes down the steal. This side
OF the Mississippi the people are be-
coming unit for irrigation. They
are tired of having crops destroyed bv
periodic hot winds from the southwest
sweeping over the country like sir
Deco and whitening everything with
their heated blast. They will have
irrigation if it uproots every western
senator and representative in con-
gress.
The people OF the west are excess
lively weary of men in congress who
persistently toady to small minority
on the Atlantic coast, leaving the
devil himself to look after their inter-
ests, They will make a change, and a
quick change, unless these western
senators and representatives come to
their senses and work for their con-
5stituents. They are tired Of western
members representing eastern con-
8stituencies.- Omaha World Herald.

governed and also in The coercion of
the south. He was perfectly consistent
in these two beliefs, as he promised the
belief in the coercion of the south with
the supposed priority Of the union over
the states as to time and as to sovereign
authority. Now the south has always
commended that this was wrong, his
torically and legally, but Mr.. Lincoln
believed itand therefore was consistent.
10 Lincoln the secession of a state
from the union was exactly similar to
the secession of a county from state.
Hear what he had to say in his special
message to congress in 1861:
'"The states have their status in the
union, and they have no other legal
status. The union is older than any OF
the states, and, in fact, it created them
as states. Originally some dependent
colonies made the union, and in turn
the union threw off their old Deepen
dence for them and made them states
such as they are"
Now, while all this was undoubtedly
WI ong in the southern view, it shows
Lincoln's opinion and how in his own
mind he reconciled the-consent-of-the-
governed principle with the coercion
of the south.
If it were true that we of the south
are estopped from sympathizing with
the Filipinos and advocating the cause
Of their independence because we have
lost our own liberty, it would be our
duty to fight the United States for the
liberty taken away from us and regain
it.
The southernst states have equal rights
with the northern states and are upon
an equal footing in every respect.
Texas is as free as Massachusetts;
Louisiana is as free as New York One
is not before the other, nor the other
before the one. The states are free
and equal.
1t is proposed to make the Philippine
islands not equal to states OF the United
Ssates, but subject territory. There
| is no doubt that Abraham Lincoln, if
he were alive and true to his repeated
declarations, would agree with the
southern people upon this question,
although tie mention of the fact seems
to be exceedingly unpalatable to i'm
perialists in all parts OF the country =.

Keep Whitelaw at Home Too.

The Journal has heretofore express
ed regret that the inteation OF the
presidents daughter to attend King
Edwards coronation show has been
made 9 subject Of congressional and
newspaper discussion.
Mortified by the publicity given a
purely private matter, Mr.. Roosevelt
makes announcement that the young
lady is not to go to the coronation.
The president, we think, should have
streated with contemptuous indifference
criticism that was equally shallow and
impeitinent. His daughter holds no
official position, and she has the same
right as anybody else to govern her
personal movements in accordance with
her own Judgment. 1t was perfectly
natural that, like any other young girl,
she should have wished to see a spec
stacle which, however anachronistic and
foolish in Its medievalisIn, will certain
