The "Antis" and Aguinaldo.

The little coterie of "antis," whose
shrill piping is occasionally heard in
one or two of Boston's suburbs. is not
at all anxious for AguinaldO to make
that visit to America which it has so
many times been announced he had in
contemplation. According to the Amer
leans who have sent word home from
the Philippines. Aguinaldo has been
behaving himself since he took oath Of
allegiance, and not only that but he
has grown to be heartily i'm sympathy
with American rule and realizes that
it is the best thing for the islands and
on several occasions has urged his fell
low Filipinos to follow his example.
What use could the American "antis'
have for such n man? He has forfeited
all his former rights tc a place in their
hearts.
When he was rebelling against
American authority and led bands of
American soldiers. he was their great
est hero and they extolled him as an
other George Washington. His mar
tyrdom to the cause of instruction
was one of their chief topics, and his
discomfort with American rule was his
greatest asset in the eyes of the anti
inlperialists." But AguinaldO. prosper
Gus. contented and reconciled to Amer
lean rule is man with whom they
will firmly refuse to have any dealings.
His presence in this country would be
most embarrassing to them. and the
fact that he has seen light at last, and
realizes that American rule is bless
ing and not blight to the Philippines,
would be the last straw to fracture
their already excessively conceived
backs.

Sayings by Roosevelt.

Every great nation owes to the men
whose lives have formed part of it's
greatness not merely the material
effect of what they did. not merely the
laws they placed upon the statute
books or the victories they won over
armed foes, but also the immense but
lndefinable moral influence produced
by their words and deeds upon national
character.
Practical politics must not be con-
strucd to mean dirty politics. On the
contrary, in the long run the politics
of fraud and treachery and foulness is
impractical politics. and the most prac-
teal of all politicians is the politician
who is clean and decent and upright.
Good can often be done by criticising
sharply and severely the wrong; but
excessive Indulgence in criticism is
never anything but bad, and no
amount of criticism can i'm any way
take the place of active and jealous
warfare for the right.
Something can be done by good laws;
more can be done by honest admins
tratiOn of the laws; but most of all can
be done by frowning resolutely on the
preachers of vague discomfort.
In our political and social life alike.
in order permanently to succeed. we
must base our conduct on the decalogue
and the golden rule.
Quack remedies of the universal
cure-all type are generally as noxious
to the body polite as to the body
corporal.
We must do our duty by the state
We must frown down dishonesty and
corruption and war for honesty and
righteousness.

Our Candidate for Vice President.

In selecting the man for second place
upon the ticket with President Roose-
welt, the Republican party was mind
full of the important fact that the
candidate for vice president should be
a man Of presidential calibre. Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana has
been for years recognized as one Of the
strongest and soundest men of the
United States Senate; lawyer Of wide
experience a close student of his coun-
try's political history. and a statesman
whose advice has been highly regarded
by President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt. 1t was well known that
during the war with Spain, he was one
of President Mckinley's closest adj
visers and so highly was he esteemed
by Mr.. Mckinley that he was made
chairman of the American commission
which met a similar British commits
sion to consider the Alaskan boundary,
the treaty of 1917 and the late fisheries
pfoDlcIH.
All his life, Senator Fairbanks has
been a jealous and active Republican,
and was prominent in Indiana conven-
tons and public affairs for many years
before he ever held an office himself
He was nominated for the United
States Senate in 1897 by the unanimous
vote of his party, and from the day he
entered that body he won the esteem
and confidence of his colleagues and
showed himself hard working MEM
Der. The subject of immigration has
interested him for years, and he is at
the head of the Senate committee. He
was especially prominent in the legis-
lation revising the currency laws,
few years ago. Senator Fairbanks
comes of the best old New England
stock For five generations his ances-
tors, who came from England, lived in
ssachusetts and Vermont. His
father was a native Of the latter State,
and was one OF the pioneers who
pushed westward into the Ohio country.
There 1t was that Senator Fairbanks
was born in 1852 in a little log cabin
and his youth was that of a country
boy of that time. In the humble home
of his childhood, his father sheltered
ESCAPING slaves from the South who
were working their way northward to
the Canadian border. BY his own
efforts, he worked his way through a
little Ohio college, studied law in Pitts
burg, Pa, after a short experience in
newspaper work, and since 1874 has
been a lawyer in indianapolis. He has
won notable success in his profession
and there is no blemsh upon his public
or private record. He is a clean man
In every respect; jealous Christian,
happy in the possession of large
family of children, and with home
famed for it's hospitality. Strong and
popular as President Roosevelt is the
Republican ticket in the coming cam
paign is unquestionably made still
stronger and more popular with the
masses of the American people through
the selection of such a man as Senator
Fairbanks as the candidate for vice
president.
