The loss to farmers from bugs Of
different kinds has been growing with
the increased slaughter Of insect-eat-

dom and wickedness of deceivipg the
Filipinos if they do not mean what
they say, and says: IF our opponents
came i'll power and attempted to carry
out their promises to the Filipinos by
giving them independence, and with
drawing American control from the isl
ands, the result would be frightful
calamity to the Tilipinos themselves,
and in larger aspect would amount to
an international crime" "Of course,
the practical difficulty in adopting any
such course Of action-such policy
Of scuttle.' as President Mckinley
called it-would be found wellnigh in
superable." 1T would be a criminal
absurdity, and vet our opponents have
pledged themselves thereto. If sue

would either have to break faith, or
else do an act which would leave an

Any abandonment of the policy which
we have steadily pursued i'll the ISL

In conclusion, the President says:
1--WE believe that the progress that we

of the progress we shall continue to
make If the people again intrust the
government of the Nation to our

we have faith to believe that our

love Of country and trust in the uplift-
ing OF mankind. We stand for enforce
ment of the law and for obedience to
the law; our government is d govern
ment of orderly liberty, equally alien
to tyranny and to anarchy, and its
foundation stone is the observance of
the law, alike by the people and by
the public servants. We hold ever
before us as the all important end of
policy and administration the reign
of peace at home and throughout the
world, the peace Which comes only by
doing Justice"
