Judge Parker's Speech.
Judge Parker devoted himself to
questions of Imperialism and a big
army and navy He said the .enden
cy towards Imperialism In our gov
ernment took tangible shape whei
this republic assumed power TO rul,
over distant and alien countries and
populations. not only without their
consen. but distinctly against theii
will. and when, correspondingly. the
principals and ideals we had inherit
ed from the founders of the republic
gave way to ideas as 20 powers of ou
government which differed widely
from Lincolns conception of a democ
racy. that il was government of the
people, for the people and by .he pee
pie"
Deals With Militarism.
when we annexed the Philippines
il was done not only with a complete
disregard of rights and wishes df
the people thereof but also with
hardly less absolute disregard of .he
spirit of our political institutions. The
annexation of the islands and the
subjection by force OF the Filipinos
lighting for their independence are a.
different from .he intention of the
fathers as government by superior
artillery is from a government by the
consent of the governed.
when we contemplate the moral |
effect of a policy OF conquest and sub
jngation as il has been carried on
and Is now defended by the RepublE !
can party. we cannot but feel a seri- |
Gus anxiety as to the permanency OF

The great principles proclaimed by |
.he declaration of independence, that
a government derives its just pow 1

stood substantially unquestioned |
among Us until .he imperialistic pol.

over the conquered was entered upon.
II was recognized as the very essence
Of democratic institutions. Now il is
scoffed at by many leaders of .he |
Republican party as a 'glittering gen

for the infancy of this nation, but rid.
iculOus in its prezent state of power.
Indeed. il is perfectly logical for them

10 Justify and maintain their policy of
conquest and dominion.
