THE PRESIDENTS PLAIN WORDS.

The address of President Roosevelt at
the banquet of the Sons Of the American
Revolution expressed in plain and I'M
mistakable language the intention of the
great majority Of the American people
In regard to the Philippines. The flag
of the republic will stay in the islands
and under it justice will be admins
tered in accord with American prin-
ciples and ideas. This was the decision
of the people two years ago and 1t must
be respected. Were the question now
again submitted there a be no rea-
sonable doubt hat the popular decision
of 1900 would be overwhelmingly re-
peated.
Because some wrong has been done in
the Philippines, because some men haV-
ing authority there have erred, fur
nishes no reason, In the judgment of the
president, why our government should
halt in the work 1t has undertaken in
those far away islands. The wrongdoers
must be punished, no matter what their
| station. Whoever has been guilty OF
| conduct in violation of the rules and
usages of civilized warfare and has
thereby brought reproach upon the
army and the government should suffer
the severest penalty prescribed for such
offense. But there must be no abate-
ment Of the work of paciication and OF
establishing civil government. That
must be pushed with undiminished zeal
and vigor, along just and humane lines,
until its complete accomplishment.
This consummatiOn appears to be not
far of. At present there is very little
opposition anywhere in the Philippines
to American authority. No influential
Filipino leader is now in the field ano
peace Teigns over nearly the entire re
gion which not many months ago was
infested with guerrilla bands. The
ablest men among the natives are TO-DAY
assisting in the work Of paciication
while the people very generally are
manifesting a friendly disposition ant
accepting American rule without com
plant. Civil government is being grad
ually extended, with most favorable
promise that wherever established 1
will be maintained without difficulty
The natives are learning to have con
hdence in the protecting arm of the mill
tary power and faith In the fairness an,
justice Of the civil authority. They SCI

can rule and are beginning to realize
that there are opportunities for material
advancement Of which they hitherto
knew nothing. AS they come more
fully to understand that American rule
means justice, progress, opportunity and
a higher civilization their satisfaction
with it will grow.
The speech of President Roosevelt was
an answer to those who demand that
the government shall abandon its policy
toward the Philippines, regardless of
what the consequences might be. He
says to such that no proposition of this
kind can receive any consideration from
his administration, that the policy thus
far pursued will be strictly adhered to.
That his position will have the approval
Of all save those who are seeking to
make political capital by assailing the
Philippine policy of the government and
the insignificant number of so-called
anti-imperialists can be confidently as
serted.

At a time when the brightest diamond

1t is cheerful news that comes from
Chicago concerning certain railways. 1t is
that these roads have issued orders that
hereafter the rough handling Of baggage
will not be tolerated. Trunks that are to
be conveyed a considerable distance must
be placed on q truck and the truck must
have a pad of felt to prevent damage.
There is to be no throwing Of unk on

The tendency of the courts to give a
more liberal construction to the laws
requiring jurisdictional petitions for the
levy Of special assessments promises to
relieve somewhat the pressure on the
city treasury from the reluctance to pay
these dues In the hope that they would
be declared invalid. Recent decisions
up to this time had gone to the extreme
in holding the city to the minutest detail
of procedure with manifest injustice to
property owners who pay their assess
ments promptly and voluntarily as com
pared with those who seize every posi-
BILE excuse for tax-shirking. The gen
eral rule should be applied without dis
elimination that in the absence of fraud
property who have received the
benefit Of public improvements made
with their positive or tacit consent
should bear their share Of the expense.

We are a mighty nation;
Many our gates, and wide;
Strong in our cleaning armor;
Masters of wind and tide;
Great with a lasting greatness,
Proud with a nations pride.
Aye, in the dim, dead ages,
Men would enroll the deeds
Tell of the mighty Persians,
Sing of the wondrous Modes.

Now they are broken reeds.

How they were great and %forceful;
Yet now the night wind means

Let all the nations rise!
Peoples have held them wondrous,
Mighty and strong and wise.
Now they are dead and silent
Under the brooding skies.
