Philippines commission which would
enable the authorities 10 touch any
man who was loyal to the United

leans was to be stopped.
Men as good as l am, men wiser
than ] am" said he, differ from ms
upon these questions. do not believe
the distinguished senator from OhiE
wants to do injustice TO anyone. some
men. however. show their love Of the
flag by protecting it against violence
and some show their love for the fias
by keeping it pure and symbol o.
Justice. The one is an honorable thins
and tie other is an honorable thing
Those who are resisting the presen
policy of our government in the Phil
ippines are quite as loyal as those wh'
are supporting ii.

clusion. was the Legitimate result o
this miserable Philippines business.
