how to sound retreat, in the conflict
OF arms or of trade.
THE argument OF Philippine ex-
penses has been answered by events.
The day OF Philippine expenses is
past The Philippine government Is
supported exclusively by Philippine
revenues. The cost of suppressing in
surrection has already been paid. The
period of outlay has ended; the period
of profit has begun"
Liberty For Filipinos.
Senator Beverage then examined
objections of anti-imperialists. I'VE
do not deny them liberty; We instruct
them in liberty. Liberty is not a
phrase; it is a reality Savages left TO
themselves do not know liberty LID
erty manifests itself in just institu-
tions. Equal laws are liberty; we have
given them 10 the Filipinos. Impartial
courts are liberty; we have given them
TO the Filipinos. Free education IS
liberty; we are giving 1t TO the FIJI
ipinos more rapidly than we gave II
to ourselves. We are instrueting our
Malay wards in regulated methods OF
industry-their greatest need. Contact
with civilized world is liberty; we are
bringing the Filipinos into human
touch with the advanced people Of the
earth. Cultivated fields. happy homes,
highways of communication-these are
manifestations OF liberty. American
laws have abolished serfdom and Civ

weaving network of highways
throughout the islands which make

today associates and friends. We are
welding scores of tribes into a cOnsol-

Tribute to Roosevelt.
Senator Beverage closes his address
with a tribute 70 President Roosevelt.
| Ever conservative, ever cautious, ever
! fearless, ever just, name a man in all
our history whom your heart tells you
is more conspicuously American than
| Theodore Roosevelt?
do you name courage? Theodore
| Roosevelt represents 1t. Do you name
| honesty? Theodore Roosevelt is its
personifcation- Do you name patriot
ism? Theodore Roosevelt named his
on the field OF battle. Do you name
| consideration for every interest OF the
republic? Theodore Roosevelt judges
every interest in its relation to every
| other No section owns him; he be-
| longs to the nation. No influence con-
| trolls him; he listens to the voice OF
! the whole people. The humblest cit
| izen may meet him face to face and
/ have as full hearing as the. richest
man in the land: and he will give
wealth and property their just and
1 legal rights in spite of demagogue or
mob. Simple justice to all-this is the
/ spirit that rules the mind and heart
! of the chief magistrate of the Amer
| lean people. How may that which is
/ best for all be practically accomplished
this is the question he puts TO every
problem that confronts him."
After the applause there were calls
| for Kearns. but he had retreated to
/ the wings with Beveridge. and did not
! respond. Howell was also called for
but he was not forthcoming, and Judge
( Mccarthy, suffering from a bad cold,
made a short but inaudible talk. on
motion of Mr.. Agee of Weber, the
/ adoption of a party emblem was left
! TO the state committee.
