lily and tell me how to govern my children.
In the great debate between Lincoln ard
Douglas, Douglas asked. as he sat down: "Per-
haps Mr. Lincoln would like black woman
for his wife," Mr.. Lincoln rose (and get this
from an intelligent witness who was presently,
and, walking in from! of the platform in Chi
cago between the court house and the Sherman
House, his eyes flashing and his face pale, be-
cause resenting an insult, he replied: 81 do
not wish her for my wife; neither do wish her
for my slave
do not wish the Filipino for a citizen Of
this country. / do not wish him to help gov
us, and, standing in the sacred precincts of
government, how can | ask to help govern an
other man whom cannot trust to help govern
ME? If am good enough to govern him, he
must be good enough to govern me. | do not
wish the Filipino in my congress. He is not
of my race. He is not of my color He is
not of my language. He cannot understand
the duty owe to my family and my wife and
my children. He has the same right to ask the
quetsion of me: "What do you know of my
SOuhtiy1 VI my idhSuaSS! What Wv you Nho"
of my wife and my children?'
l will give you, now, my concluding reason
for voting against this proposition. do not
mean that it is my best reason, for my best
reason is based upon the question of right, but
l mean the reason based upon the protection
we owe to our own people. Let some one tell
me why we should spend the money of the
American people and the lives of the American
boys to spread our doctrine in the Philippine
Islands, and not adopt the same course in the
Windward Islands and the Fiji Islands.
They answer me that God put those islands
in our hands. That is the answer given by
every master that ever owned slave. King
George said that for the grace Of God he would
govern America and put tax upon our tea.
Spain, with her cruel yoke and shameful gov
ernment in South America and in tie Antilles,
as in her official documents, always charged
her crimes to God. The truth is that it is the
divine plan to give sef-government. The di-
| vine plan means progress and righteousness,

SENATOR MASON EXPLAINS HIS VOTE.
Gives His Reasons for Opposing the Philippines
8 Bill.
Chicago Record-Herald

Chicago Record-IIerald.
You ask me to give the reasons for my decis-
ion to vote against the bill which provides for
a government in the Philippine Islands, and i'll
the space you have allotted me to answer,
will do the best can, though if you were to
give me all the columns of your paper, it seems
:a,s if could fill every column, giving good
reasons why Lincoln was right when he said
,lhat no man was good enough to govern an
,other man without that other mans consent.
For three and half years have been asking
why we should adopt one rule in the Philip
pines and another in Cuba, and for three and
half years l have failed to get an answer.
Three and half years ago. was told that the
plan adopted would bring peace in the Philip
pines the same as the plan adopted in Cuba.
The plan in Cuba has not cost us dollar it
shas not cost us one life; whereas, the plan in
the Philippines has cost us over 100, 900 lives,
%counting both sides, and over 5000, ,ooo, 900,
counting our side.
You ask the reason for my decision. | an
swer that, because of the teachings Of my
father and mother, hate slavery, and when
we attempt to govern the Filipinos without
their consent, it is just as much slavery as
when England tried to govern the United
States without ours.
:. will not stop to consider the proposition
that we can give the Filipinos better govern
ment than they can give themselves, because
it Is the same proposition that King George
;, made to my fathers who fought in the Revolu-
ton The fathers of the republic said that
Esef-government was better than any other
government and, after long life of study upon
Z that question, find that rule to be fixed as the
law of gravitation.
have even discovered that man Iy the
name of Daniel Webster was right; and 1 am
pleased to learn that Governor Schurman
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-06-20

whom we first sent to the Philippines, and who
fool, has himself come back to the homely
doctrine announced by Webster-that no peo-
laws. | have, to-day, forgiven Mr.. Schurman
for all his criticisms announced three years
ago, because, after he had tried the doctrine,
he cordescends to adopt the true principle
which the fathers fought for at Bunker Hill.
You ask why cannot vote for the pending
bill. How can vote intelllgently for law to
eovein the Philippine Islands? l do not know
their language; l can neither read it, write it
nor speak it. | do not know their religion,
their pastimes nor their sports. l have never
been there Thomas Jefferson was once asked
to write rules to govern new community,
and being an honest man, in substance said:
81 do not know you. l do not know your en-
vronment nor your language. know nothing
about YOU" Will you ask me to enter like a
fool where angels fear to tread?
l know men who would send Il to jail for
smoking cigar if they had the power
know other men who would send you TO the
pententiary for drinking glass OF beer, wine
or whisky if they had the power They are
good people, and they will tell you that they
want you to be happy, but they want you to be
happy their way and I so detest the doctrine
Of governing another man that, as represent
ative OF 'my nation, l cannot vote to govern
another people without their consent
| remember, as boy, in one community, to
have felt the grind of religious intolerance. l
have heard the minister in our pulpit preach
that slavery was divine institution and born
of God, but the love OF liberty was SO much
above my devotion to that creed that sat up
during whole nights to help the Negroes escape
to Canada, where they could pucker up their
lips and whistle "Yankee Doodle"
We have just as much right to govern the
Filipinos as England had to govern u.s. as Aus
tria had to govern Hungary and as Spain had
to govern Cuba, and when man tells me that
they ale not able to govern themselves, am
fearful that he will want to come into my fam
