If We Sin, Let's Sin PluckiIy.

Governor TafL's conviction that the
United States Government should
frankly announce to the people OF the
Philippines its intention of holding
their islands indefinitely, giving to the
Filipiuos quasi independence when
they are considered fit, at least has its
foundation in honesty.
The United States Government
should certainly not be ashamed to
make open announcement of its Philip
pine policy. A reluctance to do this
in itself amounts to confession of be-
lief in the wrongfulness of the policy.
If, knowing that we are determined TO
deal with the people of the Philippines
on basis of utter disregard of their
rights, we yet delude them with vague
and misleading promises of ultimate
national independence, we shall be
guilty of peculiarly contemplate
sort Of ardice-tbe cowardice of
the strong robbing the weak in the
guse of a henefactor ST. Louis Re-
public.

"We Ask q Fair Divide"

Captain Richmond 2. Hobson re-
sponded to the toast, 1.-The Navy" at
the board of trade banquet on the
evening of January 2S. Captain Hob
son advocated an increase in the num-
ber of warships. Senator Hanna made
speech at the same banquet board.
While he complimented Captain Hob
son upon his speech and said that he
agreed with it he desired to offer this
amendment: "Do not spend all your
money on warshlps; give us a few
merchant vessels; give us something
to protect. We ask fair divide.n II
is not at all likely that the interests
which Senator Hanna represents will
fail to obtain ''fair divide" Senator
Hanna did not mean that the govern
ment was to build and operate a STEW
merchant vessels" He meant that
the ship subsidy bill should be passed,
thus requiring the government to pay
immence sums OF public money to men
in order to persuade them to engage
in profitable business. This is what
Senator Hanna calls "fair divide. ,
There has been altogether too much OF
the ''divide" theory among republican
statesmen. They have preached the
"fair divide'' theory until they have
come to believe that the government is
operated solely for the purpose of pro-
viding lucrative .'divides" for republi-
can statesmen having influence with
republican administration. But there
are some people in this country who
would like to make an amendment to
the amendment These believe that
the people who support the govern
ment are entitled to a fair divide. And
yet il one-tenth OF the propositions for
which republican statesmen stand
sponsors are carried out, the people
will not only fail to obtain fair divide,
but they will not even be participants
in the division while being required to
bear all the burdens --- The Conpaoner.

NUMBER 35.
Immortality of the Soul.

That startling preacher. DR.. Park
hurst, insists again and again that all
souls are not necessarily immortal.
He insists upon the literal truth of the
scripture that 1.-THE soul that sinneth,
it shall die" The reverend gentleman
argues, therefore, that annihilation
will be :he fate of the bad soul. That
is not much of threat. In fact, it is
no threat at all to about four hundred
millions OF followers of Gautama who
yearn for Nirvana as the ultimate
happiness. Man" says DR.. Park
hurst, sis not inherently immortal. :"
II that be so, how are we to know W hat
soul is immortal and what soul is not?
If soul is made immortal by the good
exercise of its functions, and another
soul may cease to exist by the evil ex-
ercise of its functions, some men must
be inherently immortal and some men
inherently mortal. Thus we come
around to predestination once more.
If all souls are Of the same informing
life of bodies, if all souls are the breath
of God the souls must be of the same
essence, and one cannot be immortal
while another is not. DIR. Parkhurst's
metaphysics would seem to be mixed
up beyond disentanglement. If it de-
pends upon a soul whether it shall be
mortal or immortal, then Immortality
is an accident of soul, which is absurd,
for immortality is an essential, and
not an accidental quality. What may
be mortal cannot by any possibility be
immortal. Their cannot be any such
contradictoriness in souls as mortality
and Immortality at the same time, and
neither mortality nor Immortality can
be dependent upon the soul itself, if it
be either one or the other, for it must
be immortal or mortal from the begin
ming. DR.. Parkhurst is almost as self
contradictory in his theory as was
Schopenhauer when it was shown that
his philosophy amounted to declar-
alton "that brain was a phenomenon
of BRAIN" that space and time were on
ly existent in the brain, and yet the
brain existed in space and time. Be-
fore DR.. Parkhurst discourses upon the
nature of the soul he should read Saint
Thomas Aquinas. The Mirror.

Consistency and Conscience.

Consistency is jewel OF doubtful
value; eft have you heard that said.
Nevertheless it's Jewel, and, as such,
worth keeping in the cssket of truth.
For instance, Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott, in the course of an address on
the regulation of the liquor traffic the
other day, said: THE rural population
of this state ought not to impose their
conscience upon the people of New
York. 1t makes no difference if The
rural conscience is right and the New
York conscience is wrong, still the
right conscience has no right to i'm
pose its will upon the wrong con-
science"
Good; this is another way of stating
Lincoln's view that no man had
right to govern another man without
that other mans consent.
But what about the Filipinos? 1t is
just as certain that their conscience is
wrong as that DR.. Abbott's is right,
and Dr.. Abbott represents all that is
best in American mind and morality.
Why does he justify the government of
those sorry little savages with wrong
consciences by US superior folks? They
don't want to be governed. They love
their wrong consciences and won't
swap for a better article.
Why, then, try to impose our will
upon themp-St Louis PoSt-DtSpatch.
