THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Promises to Resume the Force Bill

Washington, June 24.-The Southern
suffrage plank in the Republican plat
form is regarded here by the leading
men of both parties AS the most i'm
purtant utterance of the Republican
National Convention. II means the
greatest struggle i'm American politics
since the Civil War.
The declaration means that the Re
pubicans are pledged to take up the
question of the representation in Con-
gress and the electoral college of the
Southern States that restrict negro
suffrage. II is the result of persistent
efforts by Representative Crumpacker
Of Indiana in Congress and at previous
national conventions to commit the
Republican party to an attempt to re-
dUce the representation from those
states where the negro vote is restrict

lie announces for his bolt ut present
Is the negro question, although he says

the president wished naturally enough
TO show due recognition and honor TO
this gathering and invited them To the
White House. would he bar Booker
Washington? Would he discriminate
against him because of race or color2
Would he have n Jim crow pantry
behind the house to which Booker
Washington might he shunted of?

that he was wise in keeping still be-

method is to shave all the head except
two patches. one over each temple,
where he cultivatcs two horns of hair.
No doubt this is to render him more II
thing of terror to his enemies than Of
admiration to his friends. Ills reason
for shaving the rest of the head is to

PROGRESS IN PHILIPPINES.
American Policy In Not Commercial
Exploitation.

Exploitation.
The welfare of the Filipinos, with
commercial profit as nm incident. Is the
American policy. Commercial exploit
alton for the benefit of the United
Kingdom. with the incidental welfare
of her subject alien races, Is the Brit
ish policy. With such fundamental diff
fercnces In dealing with the white
mans burden" ii is not surprising
that \. Il. Colqnhoun In his recent
book ON Greater America should
have been blind 10 what has actually
been done by the United States and
dispnragingIy critical of its efforts TO
govern the Philippines I'm harmony
with it's own ideals. Their acquisition
was not II sequel To the enterprise of
trading companies, the avarice of nd
yenturcrs or the necessity of an outlet
for surplus population, so often the
ease in the growth of the British EN-
plrc and In the colonial experiments OF
other nations. II was, on the contrary,
II responsibility inherited through war,
accepted with reluctance and misglv-
Ing, and duty to civilization under
taken with n fun realization of Its DIFF
flcultics and of the Sacrifices II entallcd.
If as n result the American republic
profits commercially and is strength
encd as n milton, SO much the better.
But the notion should be dismissed
that n lust for territory or commercial
ambition was the controlling motive In
Judging what has been done and in un
Outstanding what Is planned. 1t was
imperative that milton founded on
the idea of freedom and liberty. whose
government is of the people, If true To

Theoretically perhaps, nm nutocratic
rule, with nm Ill concealed contempt
for the iilplnos, would have been
more successful, but the United States
IL not an empire, and William MeKin-
ley, who formulated the American
