9SR is conceded that the most
wonderful manipulators of the laSSO
have their homes.
Some of Juan's exploits sound in
credible. He engaged in numerous
contests at Albuquerque. Tombstone,
Tucson, Phoenix and many of the
frontier posts, and in every one lie was
the victor. Many time he would
dash forward at full speed, lean over
from his saddle, scrape a match on
stone and light his cigarette, as he
swung back, and then frt the loop of
his coled rope under the heel of some
galloDing bull, and whirl over the
latter in fash on his side
AS is we'll known, the ranchmen in
the Southwest used to suffer a great
deal from the rayaging Apaches. but at
the time referred to most OF them were
on their reservation and comparative
peace reigned. Now and then MAYER
lex was killed and roasted by some
proving bucks. and occasionally shots
were exchanged with them. but moth
ing took place to cause general alarm.
Nevertheless, the cowboys were too
wise to trust an Apache. Kindness
and charity to any of the scowling
miscreants was quite certain to be re-
paid with robbery and assassination.
1t was during the illness of his two
men that Juan set out to bring back
half a score of cattle that had drifted
away from others. He went on the
journey alone, though he half suspect
ed some wandering Apaches were at
the bottom of the trouble. He told the
other men TO give their attention TO the
main herd, browsing Il couple of miles
distant while he set out TO round up
and bring in the cstrayS
Juan followed the cattle by means OF
the trail they had left, and had not
gone far before, from the imprints on
the hard earth, he discovered that it
was as he suspected. Three mounted
bucks had managed to cut out the cat
tie unseen, and were making toward
the mountains with them
The discovery angered him. and in
stead of riding back for help he pushed
on alone. He knew that If he took
time to 90 after some of his comrades
the thieves would get off beyond re-
covery.
Besides. there were only three of
them. and ne was not afraid to pursue
and fight them.
Juan always had his lasso coled on
his saddle hook, and the afternoon was
well advanced when he came to Il deep
depression. where there was slight
growth of brush and stunted grass.
1t was of such slight extent that he
could see the open country beyond,
and with no thought Of coming upon
the thieves. he spured his pony into
the place, expecting to debouch on
The other side and speedily run the
rogueS TO earth.
At the moment of entering the M
dergr0wth three Wincheste-j were dis
charged together, and his horse lunged
forward and went down on his nose,
breathing his last within few
seconds
The Apaches could not have aimed
at the rider, for they fired at such a
short distance that it was impossible
to miss, and it would have been unac-
coubtable that they should have wished

Republican Policy Is in Line with

-Four years ago the Democratic par
ty denounced the acquisition of the Phil
ippine Islands by the United States as
a dangerous form of national expansion
and their retention as an application Of
militarism. The only logical conclusion
of this position was our immediate re-
tirement from the Islands, leaving them
to shift for themselves. In his letter ac-
ceptng the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent in 1900 Mr.. Roosevelt commented
oil this position as follows:
''The simple truth is that there Is moth
Ing even remotely resembling imperial
ism or militarism involved in the present
development OF that policy OF expansion,
which has been part OF the history of
America from the day when she became
q nation. The words mean absolutely
nothing as applied to our present policy
In the Philippines, for this policy Is only
imperialistic in the sense that Jefferson's
policy in Louisiana was imperialistic:
only military in the sense that Jackson's
policy towards the Seminoles or Clusters
towards the Sioux embodied militarism;
and there is no more danger OF its pro.
ducing evil results at home now than
there was of its interfering with free
dom under jefferson or Jackson, or in
the days OF the Indian wars on the
plains.
The only certain way OF rendering
1t necessary for our Republic to enter
on n career OF 'militarism' would be 10
abandon the Philippines to their own
tribes, and at the same time either TO
guarantee stable government among
these tribes or TO guarantee them against
outside interference. A far larger army
would be required to carry ont any such
policy than will be required TO secure
order under the American flag: while
the presence of this flag on the Islands
is really the only possible security against
outside aggression. Properly
speaking, the question is now not wheth
er we shall eNpand--for we have already
eSpanded-but whether We shall con.
tract"
That was the Issue four years ago
Now the Democratic platform says:
I'VE believe with jefferson and John
Adams. that no government; has n right
to make one set OF laws for those at
home and another and a different set of
laws, absolute in their character, for
those in the colonies. We insist
that we ought to do for the Filipinos
what we have already done for the
Cuhans."
There has never been time since
the formation OF the government that
Congress has not made one set OF laws
for the States and another set for the
territories. The laws enacted by Com
gress for the government OF the Philip.
pines are no more absolute than those
which have been enacted during the last
hundred years for our various territories.
The demand that the United States
shall do for the Filipinos what It has
done for the Cubans is unreasonable. We
never claimed to own Cuba. but we pos.
sess the Philippines by an undisputed
title. A Republican administration did
entire justice to Cuba ms demanded by
the circumstances OF the case. and the
Republican party can be depended upon
to do entire justice to the Philippines.
