discovery brought him much happiness

happiness enjoyed by sickly people who

THE ARGUMENT FOR IMPERIALISM.

The opponents in and out of Congress
of the Administration bill for the govern

sage. We are told hat every day the
is OVERWHELMINGLY, the preparation of
the Filipinos to exercise and enjoy the
American independence.
1t boots nothing to the imperialists that
a large and respectable part of the people
object to the colonialism that is embodied
in the scheme and that it is modelled after
the most imperial forms employed ir
similar enterprises in the most monar
hia governments of Europe.
We are blandly told that some form of
Limited Imperialism is absolutely re
quired by the situation; that the charac-
ter of the Filipinos, their condition
and necessities, make it wise and alto
gether e~xpedient that they be governe
for an indefinite time after an autocratic
fashion that is %repugnant to our tradi-
tional ideas of what is republican or
democratic.
The issue thus rendered Is one upor
which the people have not yet had full
and fair opportunity to express their
desires and it is the purpose of the Re-
publican imperialists to drive it through
Congress before an appeal can be made te
the people either to approve or condemn
While in the pending debates In Con-
gress much may be heatedly said that is
not germane exactly. and often wide of
the real mark, yet the opponents to the
measure are clearly right in fighting its
adoption with every means that they can
legitimately employ. The bill is vicious
spared by anti-imperialist Democrats ano
Republicans to defeat it. The government
now extant in the Philippines, ragged and
inapt as it is, can. be better tolerated
awhile longer han be supplanted by the
un-American imperialist scheme embodied
in the bill.
