is in Washington. and has conversed
with the president on the Philippine
situation. He told the president that
the civil government is doing wonder
full work for good in the islands, and
that 1t has been ably seconded by the
army. The stories of cruelty practic-
ed by American soldiers. he said, were
either wholly untrue or else greatly
exaggerated. The army had conduct
ed itself in a way to elicit praise from
all right.thinking Flipinos, and this
in the face of the greatest of provoca-
lions and temptations. The Taft Com
mission, he told Mr.. Roosevelt. has
the entire confidence of all honestly
disposed natives. and Senior Buenca-
mino himself hopes, he says, that Gov
ernor Taft will remain an indefinite
time at the head Of the civil govern
ment. The Filipinos, he declared, love
Governor Taft. for he has never de-
ceived them and they know him to be
their friend.

The chief point of difference be-
tween Senator Hoar and Senator
Spooner and perhaps many other Re
publican leaders. was made clear in
the closing hours of the debate on the
Philippine bill. Mr.. Hoar's contention
was that this government should de.
clare at once what its ultimate pur-
pose is in the Philippines, whether
the people were to have absolute in
dependence or not. While Mr.. Spoon
err declared that he was not in favor
of the permanent dominion of the
United States he said he was not in
favor of making promises to men who
held a revolver at his breast nor to
men who were training their guns up.

Had the congressman been defeat

majorities. Democrats everywhere
would have pointed to the result as
indicating dissatisfaction with or re-

all that he stands for. But no such

spect by his recent act in refusing
to join President Roosevelt's hunt

his dogs to get in the chase after
the same bear that Roosevelt was
chasing. Roosevelt, as president
Of the United States, is due the
respect that the dignity of his Of
fee demands. As such it would
be highly improper to refuse to
show him any courtesy or attention
due his station as the first man of
our country. But when he lays
aside his official capacity and po-
sition for a short time-which is
in itself all right-he becomes at
once only a private citizen as the
