senate devoted nearly its entire ses-
sion to the Philippine question Mr..
Patterson of Colorado, one of the mi
nOrity members of the Philippine
committee, delivered his first ex-
tended speech and discussed princi-
pally the sedition laws enacted by the
Philippine commission, vigorously at
lacking the authority OF the commits
sion to enact and enforce such laws.
He maintained that congress alone
had the power to put in force enact
ments of that character. He com
pared information furnished by the
executive departments of the govern
ment with some of the statements of
Governor Taft in his testimony before
the Philippine committee with resDect
TO the capabilities of the Philippine
people, and declared with some heat
his belief that Governor Taft mis-
represented the true situation in the
islands for motives unknown. He as
serted that if the 10000 Christians
in the Philippines were Protestant
Christians the cruelties practiced on
them by the American authorities
would have to stop, as no member of
congress would be able to withstand
the wrath of the Methodists, Baptists,
and Presbyterians of this country. MI
Nelson of Minnesota presented
legal and constitutional argument in
support of this government action in
the Philippine archipelago, and sharp
ly criticised Mr.. Patterson for inject
ing into the controversy the question
OF sectarianism. Mr.. McCumber of
North Dakota urged that congress
should not bind the future now by
declaration Of a definite policy re-
garding the Philippines, as it was de-
sirable that all possible information
should be in hand before a permanent
policy was determined upon.
