AGUINALD0 APPEALS.
CRISIS IN PHILIPPINES
Remarkable Presentation of Com
dftionS-,4 Relief Plan Submitted.

Washington. Jan 20.-Secretary Root to-day
transmitted TO Congress copies of a petition re-
ceived by him through Governor Taft from
Aeuinsldo. the former insurgent leader in the
Philippines. The petition is remarkable pres
entation Of the conditions existing in the Philip
nines. and Secretary Root FASTENED to send it to
Congress because it went long way toward
supporting the statements he had made to the
committees Of that body. and also demonstrates
the necessity for prompt and exhaustive action
on the part of Congress to prevent disaster and
distress in the archipelago. The Secretary's let
ter Of transnittal simply recites the character
Of the document and alludes to the picturesque
and graphic manner in which AguinaIdo had de-
s-ribed the conditions IN the Philippines, The
Secretary attached particular importance to
Aguinaldo's profession Of a desire to do every
thing IN his power TO aid the Americans in car
-ying out relief measures and developing the
islands
AguinaIdo finds conditions existing which Sec

follows;

Some of the best speakers in the
country gave addresses at the Good
Roads Convention at St. Louis last
week. Among men of distinction
who spoke to the delegates were,
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Ex-Gov.
Hogg of Texas, w. ]. Bryan, Sec
rotary of Agriculture James Wilson,
Senator A. c. Larimer of South
Carolina, Congressman Brownlow
of Tennessee, Gov. Dockery of Mis-
souri, and Preside Mt Roosevelt.
Many good speeches were made but
none better than that of President
Roosevelt. His remarks went to
the root of the matter and occasion

speeches the President shifts the nal

talks about. He shows himself tc

1t is certainly up to Congress to
relieve the anomalous situation in
regard to the negro in the south.
Deprived of the right-or privilege
to vote in accordance with con-
stitutional provisions made especially
in his behalf and having appealed
in vain to the Supreme court for re-
lief-there he is. He is counted in
when Congressional apportionment
is to be considered but counted out
when he comes to vote or when by
taking his life in his hands he does
vote. The Republican party must
stiffen up its spinal column on the
question of negro disfranchisement.
If the South does not want the ne
gro to vote it must not count him
in when the apportionment is made
for Congressman. 1t is likely that
such a demand will be made before
the next national census is complet-
ed.

The Democrats take great delight

The Democrats take great delight
in the mistakes Of individual Repub-
licans. If in the long service of the
party that has been in power in the
nation nearly all the time for over
forty years there is found an occa-
sional act by an individual Republi-
can official that could be interpreted
as dereliction of duty the Demo
cratic press has gloated over the in
stance with evident satisfaction.
This exhibition Of envy, spleen and
indignation Of assumed righteous
ness we have been accustomed to-.
But never until recently have we
seen it claimed by the most rancor-
Gus partisan that the Republicans
were responsible for the caIamities
of the Cleveland administration.
This claim seems by some Demo-
cratic historians to now be made.
And SO it may be assumed that the
Republican party has been respon-
sible for all the ills of the country
since 1860 including the civil war.

The trusts and the politicians pro-
fess to be anxious for fear Roosevelt
will not receive the nomination for
president to succeed himself. Their
anxiety-or the pretension-is need
less. The people propose to take
a hand in this, and if the trusts and
politicians propose to place them
selves in the way as obstacles it will
be unpleasant for them-the trusts
and politicians. Never in the his
tory of this country has a man been
so universally popular as is Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

General Miles lacks discretion.
1t is a want OF wisdom for a public
official to display spleen. 1t is be-
lifting. No man really great will
do this, or doing it he will suffer in
public estimation. The Generals
structures on the army in the Philip
pines rebounds to his disadvantage
in several ways. In the first place
the courtesy of comradeship ought
to have led him to look to the situa-
ton with justice if not with charity.
He is of the army-supreme in COM
mand, next to the President. And
common fairness should have in
duced him not to speak disparaging-
ly Of the soldiers upon idle rumors.
1t will be noticed that what he says
concerning the cruel acts Of soldiers
in the Philippines is in every in
stance what he heard from the Fill
pinos. In no instance does he charge
inhuman acts upon evidence but
simply upon rumors. 1t seems to us
this is not what should be expected
of an army chieftain.

During the past nine months there
have come into the United States
10000 Italians and $4,000 Huns.
These are not such people as we
need. During the same time there
arrived $4,000 Swedes, $4,000 Ger
mans and $1,000 Englishmen.
These latter - Scandinavians Ger
mans and people from the British
Isles-are all right to assimilate in

There must necessarily be more
possibility of accidents upon the rail
ways with rapid transit. Accidents
will be more frequent and more
disastrous as the train service is more
rapid. This modern idea of the ne

time possible is wrong. There
should be a demand for slower and
safer transportation.

and for city council to put into
practice by an ordinance with the
demand that it be enforced. The
last part of it especially-that refer
ring to the use of language tending
to provoke an assault-should re-
quire special attention. Arrest the
