FREE TRADE FOR PHILIPPINES


1t appears that some of the congress
men who went to the Philippines be-
came convinced that in order to build
up the Industries and commerce of the
islands it will be necessary to admit
their products free to the American
market, as is done with the products of
Porto Rico. Representative Payne of
New York. who was chairman of the
ways and means committee in the last
congress and probably will be continued
in that position, is quoted as saying that
he is in favor of free trade with the
Philippines when the treaty with Spain
expires, which will be four years hence.
In the meantime Mr. Payne thinks the
duties should be reduced to % per cent
Of the Dingley rates, the revenue to
go, as at present, TO the treasury of the
islands. Other representatives are said
to be of the opinion that free trade can
and should he granted at once.
Secretary Taft has long urged re-
duction of duties to % per cent of the
rates of the present tariff law and 1t
is not improbable that this will be done,
but no movement for free trade with the
archipelago is likely to succeed in the
coming congress. Not only is there an
obstacle in the treaty with Spain, but
there would be very vigorous oppo-
sitlon on the part of American indus
tries with which Philippine products
would come into competition. Promo
ton of the industrial and commercial
interests of these insular possessions is
certainly to be desired, but not at the
expense of any home industry.

THE Blue AND 1hB GRAY.
In his last campfire address delivered
before the United Confederate Veterans,
General John b. Gordon. their late COM
mander-in-chief. made this declaration:
1--WE shall never know who was right
until we join the majority on the other
shore" This sentiment was acclaimed
by the veterans who fought under the
stars and bars, but it found no sympa-
thetic response in the breast Of any
man who fought under the Stars and
Stripes.
The blue and the gray rest in tran
qulllity under the sod on the battle fields
and in the NATIONAL cemeteries. In re-
cent years the blue and the gray have
not only fraternized socially and com
mercially, but they have fought side by
side under the old flag in Cuba. Porto
Rico and in the Philippines. But while
the men who imperiled their lives in
the sanguinary conflict for the preser-
walton of the union have generously for
given they cannot forget, nor will they
turn agnostic in the great cause fol
which they battled.
In that terrible conflict there was a
| right and a wrong and the line of de-
marcation between right and wrong was
as broad as the gulf. On the one side
were arrayed the men who fought feG
| freedom and union and on the other
the men who fought to perpetuate slav-
cry by disunion.
The memorable declaration of Gen.
! eral Gordon is recalled 10y the utter.
ances of President Roosevelt on his
southern tour in which, unconsciously
doubtless, he places the men who wore
/ the blue and the men who wore the
/ gray upon the same level of loyalty
and patriotism by giving expression to
a feeling of equal pride in the valor OF
those who fought on the one side OF
the other, provided, that each did with
all his might and soul and mind his
duty as it was given him to see his
duty"
No loyal American will detract from
the reputation for valor and self-sacri
ficing heroism of the men who battled
for the confederacy on land and sea
but the men who suffered and died that
the nation might live are certainly en-
titled to and will always occupy a
higher plane on the broad field of civ
ilization and humanity than the meT
who sought to dlsmember the union
and destroy the nation.
However gratifying the reconciliation
of the sections has been, it would be
an awful commentary upon the stand
ard Of patriotism of the American re
public to class Abraham Lincoln viii
Jefferson Davis, Robert Il. Lee will
Ulysses s. Grant, Raphael Semme'
with David G. Farragut. What incen
tive would it be to future generations
of Americans TO be loyal to their coun
try and their flag. If those who sought
to destroy the one and dishonor the
other were to go down in history az
absolutely equal in patriotism and de
votion to their mother land.

FAIRNESS TOWARD THE CHINESE

FAIRNESS TOWARD THE CHINESE.
Whether or not congress will take any
action for the modification of the Chi
nese exclusion law cannot be foretold
with certainty, but the attitude of the
administration on the question has been
shown in the instructions TO the i'm
migration authorities and is very ex-
plicitly defined in the remarks Of the
president on the subject at Atlanta. Mr..
Roosevelt has conclusively shown that
he is as strongly opposed as anybody
to the admission of Chinese coolies, but
he believes that those Cinnamon who
are not of the laboring class should not
only be admitted to the country, but
every encouragement given them TO
come here. In regard TO this he said:
Every Chinese traveller or student,
business man or professional man,
should be given the same right of entry
to, and the same courteous treatment
In, this country as are accorded to the
student or traveller, the business man
or professional man, OF any other ma
ton" He declared that our laws and
treaties should be so framed as 10 guar
antee to all Cinnamon. save of the ex'
cepted coOlie class. the same right OF
entry TO this country and the same treat
ment while here as is guaranteed Ia
citizens OF any other nation.
This is an entirely sound and rational
view of what the attitude of our gov
eminent should be and ii is absolutely
certain that if it shall not be adopted
there will be such resentment and re
taliation on the part Of the Chinese as
will do great injury to our commercial
Interests in Asia-not only in China, but

A Pilgrim, bent and old
Arrived at last, and entrance claimed
His kindly deeds and virtues named.
The good Saint Peter heard and smiled;
He opened wide the gates, and piled
The Pilgrim down with crowns and thing
And rushed an order up for wings.
The Pilgrim saw with joyful eye
The thrOngs Of angels floating by;
He heard the music, breathed the air,
Felt light and motion everywhere.
But as he looked and donned his clothe
OF shining white, he noted those
Who sang were men, all passing fair
There were no lady angels there.
He paused his crown and wings let go;
He sought Saint Peter high and low
And as he walked the city through,
He met no ladies-old or new.
The horror of his plight at length
Exhausted quite that Pilgrims strength
To reach through toll the city fair
And find no lady angels therei
He dragged him to the shining gate
He would not stay, he dare not wait;
His right to Heaven let him forswear
Were there no lady angels therel
They passed him forth TO outer gloom
He gladly sought that lower room
Where scents OF birthstone tint the air,
To look for lady angels there!

The late popOcratlc candidate for
his debut in the literary arena through
a small book entitled THE Free Pass
Bribery System" The book is embel-
lished with a portrait of the author and
those of a number of railroad managers,
railroad attorneys and railroad lobby
pass distributors. There is little to be
said about Mr.. Berges first born as u
literary production, but from the pOlit-
zeal point of view it is entitled to more
than passing notice. First and foremost,
it contains more truth than poetry, and
while its tendency is to magnify the
vices of republicans and the virtues of
pOpulists and democrats, its arraign-
ment of pass bribery and corporate
domination is not too severe. In point
ing out the demOralizing effect of free
railroad passes upon all departments
of state government and especially upon
the law-making branch, Mr.. Berge has
simply reiterated the admonidons and
remonstrances of The Bee for the past
thirty years. His excoriation of the cor
pOration lobby cannot be too highly COM
mended, but even in this respect Mr..
Berge has simply re-echoed the scOrch-
ing editorials on this subject that have
appeared in this paper during the sue
ceeding sessions of Nebraska legisla-
lures.
