FOR THE LORDS SAKE, PEACE

Judge Parker renewed last week
the statement which he made in the
beginning of the campaign, and which
since been officially denied that the
Philippines have cost this govern.
ment s650,000,000 and 200,0 90 lives. 1t
seems very strange that he should
persist in these statements. in the face
If the facts to the contrary.
Up to May l. 1902. the total cost OF
he Philippines, including the twenty
millions paid to Spain under the
reaty of Paris, was slS9 100000. The
cost for the succeeding year was $3,-
0SO,0O0 and for the year just ended
s2,100,000, making total of Sl94, ,lS0..
100
The total loss of life is established
by the records Of the War Depart
ment. The American soldiers who
died in the Philippines numb cred
1922 men. Judge Parker says 10000
lives were lost 1t is estimated that
the losses to the Filipino insurgents
aggregate 10000 men.
But Judge Parker failed to state
'h"' 'ii' lOf lHt loss tl
these soldiers and killing of those in
surgents rested in large part upon the
incendiary speeches made in the
American Congress. which melted the
Filipinos to their hopeless struggle.
The question now arises. are we to
have another recurrence of that kind
of talk, through the election of Dem
ocratic House and n Democratic Pres
ident? Let us earnestly pray that we
shall not, The Philippine question has
been settled by the American voters
They approve McKinleys plans which
have been carried out by Roosevelt,
Root and Taft and they don't want the
subject threshed over agin.
1t is certain as death and taxes,
however. that If the Democrats get
the Presidency and the House. they
will drag up the subject again with the
inevitable consequences that the Fill
ipinos will be mislead. will be en-
to make trouble and, OF
will have to be put down at
the cost of American lives and treas
