PHILIPPINE BILL IN HOUSE
Mr.. Mason Makes a Vigorous Speech in Its
Favor

Washington, June 3.-Little interest,
either on the floor or in the galleries.
was manifested in the Senate debate
on the Philippine government bill
yesterday under the 15-minute rule.
At two or three stages il almost died
of inanimation. Mr. Mason, of Hi
nois, in a vigorous speech, differed
from the minority in the treatment
proposed for the Filipinos. He urged
that no reason existed for according
to them a treatment different from that
accorded to the Cubans, and strongly
advised that they be afforded the right
10 govern themselves. He said he
would not have voted for the Paris
treaty but for the open understanding
among senators that the Filipinos
were to be given their independence
as soon as they were ready for it.
Other senators who spoke yesterday
were Mr.. Hoar, Mr. Foraker, Mr. Cul.
lon, Mr.. Bacon, Mr. Patterson, Mr.
Teller. Mr.. CarmaclS and Mr.. Proctor
Early in the session some amend
ments we're made to the bill by the

prusoNAILY CONDUCTED

A news item in a Philadelphia paper
informs us that J. Edward Addicks
will not entrust his campaign to his
lientcnants this time. but will take up
the reins himself and go spinning
down the highway 10 victory. This
brings up many interesting specn-
latione: is the gasman tired OF the
mast management of mis- interests? and
II so. what produced this feeling OF
weariness2 Perhaps 1t is because
the promises to land him In the
Senate have not been realized, and pos
sibly il abs taken a great deal Of cash
10 produce the most meagre results.
If it means a reduction in expenses
we can assure our gaseous
statesman that the smaller
amount of money he puts VI
the fewer votes he will get
His cause is like advertising; yor
must keep everlastingly at it and sc
into il heavily to get results. We pre-
sumo. however, that he realizes tina
something must be done. For years
he has been fed on promises that have
failed OF realization, and when he
glances over the field he sees thes'
smooth gentry waxing fat and holding
offices. and that was not his purpos'
in entering our politics. OF course h
feels that the laborer is worthy OF hi
hire. but that is no reason why h
should loot the treasury in his owl
behalf.
So Addicls is going to run the show
in person. and run the party to sui
.himsoh This implies ownership, o
course. but his lieutenants cannot oh
ject to his assumption. You can't ca
your cake and have IL. and you can
barter your vote and influence and still
retain them. The announcement o
this personally conducted campaigi
will bring delight and hope to tru
Republican hearts. His lieutenant
have done about all the fool thing
the brains Of men could conceive, bu
no one doubts Addicks' special talen
and ability in this direction. Yet, afte
all hired men care little for the in
tellectual or moral qualities Of the

senator Morran,s sneech

From the n. Y. Commeroial-Advertiser
II is not surprising that all his fell
low Democratic senators left the cham
ber when Senator Morgan was speak
ing on the Philippine question. That
was the only answer they could make
to wnat he was saying. He told
them that If they objected to the Adj
ministratons policy in the islands
there was only one course to pursue,
and that was eliminate or abrogate
those sections of the treaty OF Paris
which AFFECT those islands. 1t they
were not ready 10 demand the repeal
or abrogation of the treaty, and he had
not observed that they had made such
demand. there was nothing to do bui
go ahead in the simple duty of eXecut-
ing the treaty and creating good
government in the territory ceded to
the United States. He then reminded
them. as we have reminded the "antis'
repeatedly, that since we bound our.
selves in the treaty TO see to it that for
ten years Spanish citizens should have
in the Philippines the same rights as
Americans. we must keep our word
AS NJ. Morgan states il: THE people
of those islands. for ten years at least
must put up with the alleged inferior
quality of liberty and the slavish de
pendence that the United States hav'
bestowed on forty-five sovereign States

A RESIDENT PHYsICIAN

The sad story of the fourteen-yearold
boy who committed suicide at the
county workhouse yesterday, raises a
question as to whether there should
not be a resident physician at the in
stitution. From the accounts which
have been printed of the affair. the
boy strangled by hanging himself at
the bars OF his cell. There was re-
port that when taken down he was
alive. but this subsequently was de
MED. But even though death had taken
place ere he was cut down, this
case is sufficient TO show the necessity
at times for prompt medical attend
ance at the institution.
In the institution there are about
40 prisoners, and there are the officers
and employees besides. Among so large
"a number there must often be calls
for Il physician, and it takes time to
secure one who is a nonresident In
this case il appears that all was done
that could be done, and the physician
fortunately, was not long in reaching
the institution. but this instance may
show the necessity of supplying an
evident need.

Fighting for Sovereignty

From the New York Tribune.
You are lighting for sovereignty,
says Senator Hoar That is the key
note of his arraignment of his Govern
ment, the grayamen of his indictment
of his country. you are fighting fof
sovereignty" The sentence mas a fine
rhetorical tone. IL is as filling to the
mouth and may be as satisfying to the
mind as THAT blessed word Mesopo-
tamia."
We are indeed fighting for sover-
eighty in the Philippines, as We
fought for sovereignty in 1920, and in
l74f, and in 1776, and in 1872, and in
1876 and 1861. We are fighting for a
sovereignty every whit as Legitimate
as any for which we fought at any OF
Those times to which Senator Hoar SC
proudly refers. We are fighting for a
sovereignty sanctioned and demanded
by international law and by the high
est civic morals, We are fighting fol
a sovereignty which means peace, or
der. civilization, and a vastly greater
measure Of freedom than those islands
have ever known. We are fighting for
a sovereignty which is nowhere
despotic or sordid, but is everywhere
generous and beneficent The anarchist
and the bandit may regard sovereignty
with aversion. Men who believe in law
and order and justice believe in SOW
oreignty as an ordinance for the well
fare and the progress Of the race, and
they do not and will not shrink from
the record that they are fighting foI

Hero and His Critics
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Judge Taft has known for years THAT
he is afflicted with a mortal disease
He knew IL when President Mckinley
urged him to become governor-general
of the Philippines. He knew that the
climate of the Philippines and his
duties as encouragement there would
aggravate the conditions on which his
malady fed. But he went there and
stayed there from a sense of duty.
Lately he returned home to undergo
a serious surgical operation to prolone
his life. The disclosures of that opera.
tion confirmed the worst that he hac
knowR or been told before He was
further warned that his return to the
Philippines would shorten his days
Still, he is going back from a sense Of
duty, and with a courage equal to thai
sense of duty. He has asked and sought
no credit for this. He has done moth.
ing to make his situation known. II
has become known to the people to tht
