FREEDOM.

1t appears that Gen. Brooke was
wildly cheered'' Wednesday evening
of last week at Delmonico's, the occa-
sion having been the 10th annual
dinner of the st. George Society Of
New York. The general aroused the
widest enthusiasm of his British
friends by showing how exactly SINH
lar are England's work in South Afri
ca and our work in the Philippines.
"Our friedes of Great Britain have
experienced the same thing in South
Africa. They know what war is in
South Africa, and we know what 1t is
in the Philippines. In the Philippines
we have been fighting people who
did not understand the freedom we
were bringing to them. They are learn
ing. Lord Kitchner is teaching the
same lesson in South Africa. Lord
Roberts won a war according to civil
lized methods. Then there was the
stubborn guerrilla fighting, useless
and hopeless. Gen. Caffee is expert
encing the same thing in the Philip
pines"
Neither the people of the Philippines
nor the Beers can understand" the free
DOM that is being pushed on them.
It is strange that freedom which is
shot into one with leaden bullets, and
which is accompanied by starvation,
burning, imprisonment, cruelty and
death, cannot be better and quicker
understood. "They are learning
says Gen. Brooke. We think so. Thos'
of them who have gone before. have
found that freedom which we all fine
when we have shuffled off this mOrta
coil, when we draw our cloaks abou
us and lie pown to pleasant dreams
when the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest. This is tn
freedom the Filipino and the Boer ii
Igetting. It has been dealt to the dea'
and is being dealt to the living. Wha
a blessed thing this kind of freedom is

on IRRIGATION IN THE WEST.

Since the government is determined
at the suggestion of our gifted and far
seeing president, to start upon an irri-
eating process in the deserts of the
west in which there will be spent some
hundreds of billions of dollars, we re-
new our suggestion with reference to
leveling the Sieras. 1t is well known
that the cause of the lack of rain fall
in our desert country is the height of
the Sierra mountains. These drain the
clouds, and in fact prevent the clouds
from rising over their tops. If they
were dug down the difficulty would
disappear at once and there would be
plenty of rain. This is a sure way,
the other may fail. This is the cheap
er in the long run, though possibly a
little more expensive at first.

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

A NEW "AMERICA" NEEDED.
Patriotic Movement for a Tune
"REcy of the Soil"
Chicago Tribun

chicago IrlDune.
The Rhode Island Society Of the Cincin-
natl has become dissatisfied with the ma
tional anthem America" because the
music to which 1t is sung is not American
and not even original and, worse than that,
because 1t is the music to the British ma
tional hymn. God Save the King" the
words and tune Of which are said to have
been written in the eighteenth century by
Henry Carey.
The Rhode Island patriots are right In
their contention. The words OF America"
were written in 1892 by Prof. Samuel f.
Smith, a Baptist clergyman and a graduate
OF the famous 1929 Harvard class. The song
was first sung in Boston in the year in
which 1t was written to the tune OF God
Save the King" and that has been its tune
ever since.
To secure a fitting musical setting for the
words the Rhode Island society has offered
a gold medal. Further compensation must
be looked for in the subsequent fame which
Will come to the successful composer. The
terms Of the offer are contradictory. The
tune will have to meet and pass the Sc
verest criticism of competent musical
judges and at the same time satisfy the
popular taste. The music which NAV be
accepted by the experts, however, is often
"~caviare to the general" Perhaps some
middle way may be found and an Amer
lea" be produced which will satisfy both
sides. In any event, a new tune is needed
and new words would not be out OF place.
for the present ones are hardly UP to date
and the form OF the verse is restrictive
upon the composer. The offer Of the medal
and the chance of glory may set many pens
at work, and out Of the multiplicity of
compositions one may be found which will
be acceptable not only to the judges, but to
the whole people. 1t may not be as stately
as the Austrian hymn nor as fiery as the
"Marseillaise." but II 1t is something Amer
lean and something the people can sing, it
will be all right.

THE " SIDE

~ 8A1
When the American army In the Phil
ippines is being subjected to severe crit
icism and the soldiers denounced as
cruel and brutal. even the commanding
general being characterized on the floor
Of the national senate by a democratic
senator rs a bastard villain" II is inter.
esting TO note that there Is another side
to this matter which shows that the
Philippine army is not 50 wholly bad as
some have proclaimed II.
A few days g the war department
sent to Senator Lodge, chairman of the
senate committee On Philippine affairs.
a mass of correspondence relating TO
conditions in the archipelago, included
in which were over half a hundred pc
titions from native sources asking the
retention Of United States troops at
various points in the islands, The pc
titioners declare that by the presence of
American troops in their respective To-
c~alities they are insured humane treat
ment, protection and the maintenance
OF peace and good order. In many
cases the petitions refer to Individual
American officers whom the natives
have learned to admire and respect and
to whom they look for protection and
Justice. All these petitions are most
hearty and cordial in praise of the
American officers and soldiers and in
every case where a removal of troops
was to be made express regret therefor,
not a few urging that they be allowed
to remain. There can be no reasonable
thenticity of these petitions. Their Ian
guage and style of expression clearly
show that they are from native
sources.
While 1t is not questioned that some
cruelties have been practiced in the
Philippines. some things done which
cannot be justified, there is no warrant
for the sweeping and unqualified de-
nunciation of the army there which
some have INDUCED in. The truth is,
that with rare exceptions the soldiers
In the Philippines have treated the
natives humanely and justly and have
patiently borne with provOcations Of
which people at home can have no con-
ception. Those who have been guilty of
unjustihable cruelty should be punished
and undoubtedly will be SO far as it is
possible to do so, but falr-minded peo-
pie will not believe that the entire army
in the Philippines is amenable to the
charge of cruelty ana inhumanity.

CANADIAN DETERMINATIONS.

The Indianapolis Journal suggests that
If Canada's friends In the United States
are so anxious for what they call reel
procity, why do they not require that
Canada shall pledge before negotiations
begin, that the duty on American mer-
chandise shall be the same as the duty
on British merchandise, instead OF %
per cent higher. This discrimination
against the United States" remarks
that paper, lis never mentioned by the
advocates of so-called reciprocity, prob
ably because they know that Great Brit
ain, which makes Canada's trade treat
les, will not consent to equal duties on
merchandise imported into Canada. The
advantage Of % per cent in favor of
Great Britain is equivalent to a pro-
tective duty Of % per cent for the mer-
chandlse Of free trade England when
imported into Canada"
While this discrimination has not
been of any very great advantage to
English manufacturers, as shown by the
statistics of Canadian trade, 1t is none
the less an obstacle to closer trade rela-
lions between this country and Canada
and it is one which the latter has not
proposed to remove, though it would
perhaps be willing to somewhat modify
the discrimination II the imperial gov
eminent would consent. 1t is unlikely,
however, that England could be induced
to relinquish any considerable part Of
the protection It's manufacturers now
have in the tariff of it's American col
ony and It is entirely certain that the
imperial government would not permit
Canada to enter into a reciprocity
agreement that would place American
merchandise on an equal footing with
British in the Canadian market.
The interests in the United States
which are most strenuous In urging re-
! ciproclty with Canada. however, appear
to be quite unconcerned respecting the
tariff discrimination in favor of the
English manufacturers. What they are
troubled about is the threat Of Canada
! to increase the duties on American
merchandise, though there is no great
probability of this being done, in spite
OF the brave talk OF a few Canadian
statesmen, for the obvious reason that
such a policy would work to the disad-
vantage of the people of the Dominion
and would not in the least better the
! chances for commercial reciprocity tar
IN retaliation on the part Of Canada,
as is being threatened, would be foolish
and futile, for In such a case the
United States would not be helpless and
could return some hard blows.
Canada wants a free American market
for her natural products. To grant her
this, as was done by the old reciprocity
treaty, would be a detriment to our
agricultural interests, which have as
good claim to protection as any other
interests. The desirability of closer
trade relations between the two coun-
tries may be admitted, but II ever
realized 1t will be upon a more equitable
basis than Canada has yet proposed, the
most important feature of which must
be the abandonment Of discrimination in
favor of British merchandise.

TRICKY
StranElinG h Measure for Election
of Senators by Popular Vote.
Chicago Record-Herald (rep.).

Chicago Record-Herald (rep.).
The senate committee on privileges and
elections has probably beaten the resolu-
ton for the election of United States sena-
tors by the people by adopting the Depew
amendment. The amendment provides that
the qualifications emitting citizens to vote
for senators shall be uniform throughout
the country and that congress shall have
charge of the elections. 1t is anomalous
and irrelevant, and it is condemned by
Senator Depew's own speech in its defense.
Consistency should have constrained him
to argue for a general force bill" but In
one breath he repudiated the principle and
the objects of such a bill and in the next
adopted them for his special measure.
There is a manifest lack Of good faith in
such a course, and 1t becomes the more
marked when 1t is understood that the sem
ator is opposed to the election OF senators
by the people and would like to see the
resolution defeated.
The majority of the committee were evil
IDENTIFY actuated by the same motives, the
purpose being to put the democratic friends
OF the resolution in a hole. If they are
compelled to vote on the resolution and the
amendment together they will naturally
prefer that the resolution itself should fail
rather than that there should be any inter-
ference with the election laws in the south.
OF the ethics OF those laws It is unneces>
sary to speak now, but 1t is clear that they
have been lugged into the debate on the
election OF senators by the people without
excuse. The attempt is being made to de-
feat a desirable reform by a trick.
