:. Cuba. and Porto Rico are both most
happy In new existence and a. new life.
And what we have accomplished for them
we shall in some form, though less rapid
ly, because the conditions are different,
accomplish for the Philippine Islands.
We entered upon the Spanish war to
free Cuba, but when it was over we found
ourselves in occupation Of Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands, our sense OF
duty and our sense of justice forbade us
to return them to the clutches of Spanish
tyranny and oppression.
The problem was even more pressing
and unavoidable in the case of the Philip
pine islands than Porto Rico more brutal
and cruel because the people were not of
the same race, were only In part civil
lied, were composed of several races and
many tribes-from the savage Moros and
lmbecile and dwarfish Negritees to the
Tagals and cunning Chinese Mistazdes-
a very babel of humanity, lacking all
cohesion, all the elements of nationality
and all experience in self-governmen., or
indeed any government at all, save the
deSpotlSm of Spain.
To abandon these untutored and hetero-
geneouS masses to the further rule of
Spanish brutality seemed, rather cruel
and shocking to our sense of right and
Justice. To abandon them absolutely in
their then condition and helplessness, to
themselves seemed even more reckless
and unjust, both to them and to u.s. for it
would have led them irresistibly into dire
confusion, chaos and self-destruction, and
ultimately and swiftly to their seizure and
exploitation by one or more of the great
powers Of Europe. Strong fleets Of for
eign powers were there ready to move in
the moment We moved out.
A great nation can no more afford to
evade or shirk a great moral responsible
ity than an individual. And the con-
science Of a republic such as ours is but
the counterpart of the conscience of the
people, incarnate and untarnished. There

READ IT IN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, a well known Ger man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Volks- zeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamber lain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "Af- ter using the Pain Balm for few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely van- ished and she could again take up her household duties" He is very thank ful and hopes that all suffering like wise will hear of her wonderful re covery. This valuable liniment is for sale by all druggists.

WHITE HOUSE MENAGERIE.

Tame rats are just now the rage among the juvenile members of the White House family. The basement rooms of the executive mansion. are plentifully populated with the domestic and wild variety, to which Steward Pinkney is giving his attention. The Roosevelt boys are making collections of tame and fancy Breeds of rodents, and glance into the big play room of the children; which is iocated just un- der the stare dining hall, would give one the impression that it was the salesroom of a dealer in animal pets.
 Rows of small boxes line one side of the room in which are rats of all de- grees and pedgrees. Quentin is the proud possessor of what might be called blue ribbon rodent. It is q funny looking little animal with long and bushy tail which is used with great facility. It serves as a prop on which to support his body when sitting on his hind legs, and when he wants to get to the opposite side of the cage in hurry the long appendage is dou- bled up and used as a vaulting pole.
 Quentin's pet is called the kangaroo rat. The Japanese rat divides atten- ton with the kangaroo rat as the star attraction of the White House menag- erie. He is a fussy locking little fel- low, all covered over with long bushy hair which can never be smoothed out. There are number of white rats in the collection.
 For the time being the interest in the pet rodents is so absorbing that Red Cloud is being neglected. Red Cloud is a fine specimen of the game cock, whose home is in the areaway just out side of the rat room, and under the White House conservatory This is quite a remarkable bird. and the Roese- welt boys have taught it to spar like a professional prize fighter. Red Cloud is full of fight and can keep Quentin or Teddy busy when they engage in set-to. One of the boys will double up his fists. stoop over in a crouching af- titude and keep his arms moving back ward and forward like the regulation. pugilist. looking all the time for an opening and a chaHce to slap Red Cloud. The latter in the meantime is on the alert, his neck feathers standing erect. and his whole body in warlike attitude. Suddenly Red Cloud dodges a pass. for his head and qnick as a flash flies at his opponent. It is great sport for the boy and the bird and both appear to enjoy # immensely.

GOVERNOR oDELL's POSITION.
will Not Take denomination Before
 1t Is Offered

NEW YORK, June 7.-Governor Ode1l from the west. He expressed himself as delighted with his trip. In Califor- nia, he said, the thing that impressed him most was the number of men from this state he met.
 The governor paid a visit to the rooms of the state committee and then consented to brief interview.--He said it was seven weeks since he had been in this city. His son Bryant, who broke his leg in fall from a horse, has quite recovered.
 Are you going to accept the nomina- ton for governor again this fall9' he was asked.
 T don't understand that the nomina- ton is lying around loose," he said. "There are twenty-five Republicans eli gible for the place, any one of whom could carry the state. It is true that none of them has come forward yet, but there is no reason why they should not. They need not hold back on my account
 Somebody said something about the enVlaDle record he has made, ana the governor replied quickly: "Oh, appre- ciate all the complimentary things that have been said, but there are lots of good men. The Republicans can carry the state with any man they nomi- nate."
 Governor Odell was reminded that in several places the delegates have been instructed to'vote for him and for him only, but he would not discuss that.
 "Will you take the nomination" he was asked.
 "I should hardly think it right to take anything before it was offered me-" he replied. "The nomination cannot be foreclosed so early. I think we had better wait little and let the delegates decide that question:

HIS SENSITIVE NERVES.

It was half an hour past the time for raising the curtain, but the great mu- sician did not appear.
 At last the manager came to the front of the curtain and said:
 Ladies and gentlemen, you will pardon this long delay, am sure, when I explain that Mir Kabaleffski's nerves have become so greatly over wrought in consequence of the inces- sant, monotonous motion of the earth from west to east, of which he became suddenly and painfully conscious d short time ago that at first he refused to make his appearance this evening at all unless this motion could be changed, but in response to our ear nest entreaty he has modified this de- mand and is engaged in adjusting his nerves to the conditions which, as he sees now, are practically unalterable. With your permission he will complete the process in about fifteen minutes, until the expiration of which time we shall ask your kiEd indulgence. Thank ing you, ladies and gentlemen, for your patience, will now retire..

 Letter to Root.

An Appropriation For Sending Stu dents to This Country Urged. Also an Increase of Teacherss
 Full Amnesty Is Asked.


 WASHINGTON, June 7.-Senor Bu- encamino, now in Washington, has ad- dressed letter to Secretary Root, which is in part as follows:
 sI have concluded my statements be- fore the committee on insular affairs of the house of representatives, and l have attempted to show to the honora- are the most urgent requirements of the Philippines:
 ssA civil government, with full pow CTS for the reconstruction of the ruined governmental organisms of the Philip pine people.
 "A legislature composed of a high and low chamber in accordance with the provisions embodied in the bill re- ported by the committee to the house.
 ssThe appropriation of $50,000 per an- mum from the Philippine revenues for the purpose of sending Philippine stu dents to the United States, giving pref erence to those who wish to study in- dustry, commerce and agriculture.
 Full amnesty on declaration of peace.
 .Increase of the number of teachers to 5000, with an increase of their sala- ries to double what they are now re ceiving.
 sIn answering the objections of the Democratic members I incidentally brought to the attention of the commit tee the humane conduct of the army and the enormous and excellent work performed by the Philippine civil com mission in organizing provisional government under the wise instruction received from you and the intelligent direction of Governor Taft.
 ''This government now established in the islands, which is to the Filipinos of the middle and lowest classes highly satisfactory, will be re-enforced by the provisional measure pending before the house, to the satisfaction of the higher and intelligent classes"
 He then offers his services to prepare a statement of Filipino events if Secre- tary Root desires it and says if his services are not needed he wishes to visit Canton, New York, Charleston, Boston, St Louis, Philadelphia, Chica- go and Detroit and the widow of Gen. eral Lawton. He then wishes to visit his sons and San Francisco, saying that he expects San Francisco to be in the future the base for the Philippine trade. The letter then adds:
 .'Such is the resume of my private intentions upon this long trip, with the purpose of creating better relations of a commercial character between the phiIinninaS and America If fheSe pl1r- poses have your approval, l would thank you to furnish me such facilities as you can to carry them outs

QUARREL FOR LITTLE CAUSE.

ssIt's queer,' said the old bachelor, what little things happily married people quarrel about For instance, l know one man whose Christmas was entirely spoiled by an absolutely ridicu- lous thing. He went home one night a week before Christmas, tired out and irritable. It had been extremely cold and he had worn his heavy ulster down town. When he got home his wife met him at the door and let him in. Then she offered to help him off with his overcoat, but he refused somewhat gruffiy. She insisted, and finally got hold of his coat collar. In tugging at the heavy coat she managed to pull the collar down so that he had considera ble difficulty in getting out of 1t.
 He spoke grossly to her and she re- piled in the same way. It all ended With an angry quarrel, as a result of which Christmas passed without either member of the family giving the other in the way of a present.
 That isn't much of story.'' broke in another member of the party. q happen to know that the original cause of divorce suit which has been iust was a quarrel over a single nail.,,'
 "A single nail?'
 Yes, just one nail. It was the last nail in the closet opening off the bed- room occupied by the man and his wife. All the other nails were filled with his wife's dresses, and when the man came home one night and found a new silk waist hanging on his nair he started a, dispute which will not end unth one or the other of them has been granted divorce.

HANNA ENDS SPEECH.
Presents Strong Arguments
 For Panama Canal.
NO POLITICS INVOLVED, HE SAYS.
Dangers From Earthquakes Great on Nicaragua Route House Closes Debate on Antfanarchy Bill.
 The President Blamed.

WASHINGTON, June 7.- After transacting some routine business yes terday the senate resumed considera- ton of the isthmian canal bill, MT. Hanna (O) continuing his argument in support of the Panama canal. The Ohio senator declared that no politi- cal considerations were involved in the canal problem. He presented the opinions of eighty-three shipmasters and pilots in favor of the Panama route against the Nicaragua route for many reasons which they cited.
 He urged that the construction of the Nicaragua canal was beset with un- known difficulties, while the construc- ton of the Panama canal was ''an open book" He laid particular stress on the danger to the Nicaragua route from volcanoes and urged that it was not good business policy to ignore those dangers in a project involving an ex- penditure of $200,O0O,OOO Tn conclu- sion MT. Hanna appealed to the senate to consider the matter as a business proposition and, with some feeling, re- pudiated the suggestion that those fa- voring the Panama route were not in favor of any canal.
 General debate on the antianarchy bill closed in the house. The incident of the day was a speech by MT. Rich ardson Dem., Ala.) condemning the president in severe terms for the refer ences in his Memorial day oration at Arlington to the epitbets applied to Lincoln and Grant during the civil war and for his allusions to lynchings. He declared that. the presidents remarks violated the proprieties of the occasion.
