dealing with a people whose instincts
srrang from an inferior civilization
and who have suffered under q eovar,-
ment calculated to repress material and
individual develorment-a neon,e WI,
had been taught by bitter exnerienca
TO regard government as synonymous
with treachery and oppression-1o
course was open to those who would
save a part of those people from them
selves, 2s they had been saved bv the
oppression of centuries, but to admin
lister Establishments, when other meth
ooS proved ~unavailing, to suppress brig
andage and to compel respect for law
n order and the rights of those Of
their n~eighbors who We're more enlight-
ened than themselves. It became ne
6essary to carry war into certain neigh
h~orhoods. But we contend his was
cone in the most humane manner posi-
BILE; that the operations of the Ameri-
can peace army will go down to history
as a campaign of singular forbearance
of forbearance that paused only on
The verge of weakness.
Individual instances of violation OF
orders may have occurred; but we look
with shame ana modification upon the
attempt Of American citizens to make
partisan capital for themselves by de-
nOuncing our brave soldiers as liber-
tines. as wantOn destroyers Of life AMI
property. We abhor their efforts to
sully their country's flag, to contami-
nate its honor. IN the hope that by so
doing they might create a false political
issue, when the wisdom of the Repuo-
liCan party has left them no legitimate
subject of criticism.
We have only pity for misguided phil
1anthropy or mistaken sentimentality
that serves in some Measure to lend re-
spectability to a course that runs
counter to every instinct of patriotism
and national pride. We lave no quarrel
with those who, differing with us, yet
uphold their country's fair name and
the glory Of it's armies, realizing that
destiny forced upon us the solution OF a
problem that no one foresaw until 1t
confronted us.
Manila Is said, by competent Witness
es, to be as we'll governed as any city OF
similar size in the United States. When
the same measure of security has been
extended to all portions Of the Islands,
and when those now actively or secretly
| hostile to the enforcement of law can be
repressed and held within bounds by
| civil officers. the fullest self government
will be extended, in accordance with
American institutions and American
ideas Of equal justice to all. But new
er. so long as the Republican party
| lives to appeal to American patriot
ism. will our country's flag be removed
from the islands dishonorably. The
| land made free by the blood of Amerl-
T, can soldiers will never be cast adrift, a
subject for INSCRIPTIONS Adventures
and European despotism.
The congressional delegation from
this state has more than merited the
| confidence imposed In its members by
the people who elected them, and the
| appointmant Of Senator Kittredge has
proved to be an act that calls for warm
est approval. The senators n repre-
sentatives have labored faithfully and
we'll for the upbuilding OF their state
and nation. Harmonious and united,
they have accomplished much and have
our sincere commentator. They STAND
with us in hearty accord with the ma
ticnal Republican party and Its declar-
alton of principles enunciated at Phil
adelphia.
We are proud Of the manner In when
the public business of the state has been
conducted under the able admln1stra-
ton of Gov. Herreid. The interests or
the people have been the fist CONSIDER
alton Of the various officers: the laws
have heen administered with
ing fidelity. harmony has ruled through
ont. legislation has been highly benen-
cial: our financial affairs have been ad-
r,inistered with great fidelity; the
financial condition of the state IS all
that could be desired: public 1nstltu-
tions Of all kinds are foCrishing. Wnlle
their affairs are being administered
with Intelligent conomy and grand re-
s,,,ts to the people. Gov. Herreid mas
exercised the appointive power. IN u

always a difficult one, with great fore-
sieht and unwavering wisdom.
