to the Baltimore committee by the
United society trustees:
Not a crank and not bore

No mosquitoes dive for gore
In the halls Of Baltimore.
Lovely ladies by the score
FIuster hearts az Baltimore.
Beautiful the Chesapeake shore
And the bay at Baltimore.
True and loyal TO the core
Is c. e. at Baltimore.
Not the angels voices soar
Sweeter than at Baltimore.
Till the sounds OF earth are DER

No more heat like Baltimore.

No more rain Ike Baltimore.

The Willard union, Southwest Harbor,

W. r. Holmes with more than the average
number present. After the usual opening
exercises the topic for discussion, "why

minutes held the close attention OF the
members in giving, in clear, concise words,
half dozen reasons for equal suffrage, all
SO potent and pointed that none could re-
flute the sound logic.
The pressing need of woman's enfran-
ehisemeni from the educational, political,
moral and Christian view OF the question,

evidenced in the states wher. equal sui

granted the full ballot TO women, twenty

EDITORIAL

The Secretary of War Mr.. Taft,
in the course of an address delivered
before the students of Miami College
in Ohio, referred to the Colonial p O.
blem and the conflict in the extreme
Orient, and spoke in somewhat pes
simistic tones.
The high functionary admits the
reality and acknowledges the possi-
bility of abandoning the colonies,
although be seems TO think that such
a course might be attended with the
peoples being thrown back into state
of anarchy should they be deprived
of the offensive tutorship which is
now being exc rcised.
Mr.. Taft. from a Secretary Of War
seems to have been converted ints a
national lugubrious prophet who spe-
axis in parallels, sufficiently clear and
expressive, which may be the final cat
astrophe of political expansion which
had such an easy beginning and such
cheap epics.
Reason and common sense-as The
lisht-coneS now from the Orient TO
those nen who aspire to be the direc-
tors of opinion in the United States.
1t has been tardy in coming. but
the ex- governor of the Philippines has
at las, comprehended it. The United
States has no need of colonies
And the talk about humanity and
civilization has been no more than
simple legend. indulged in to deceive
the american people. 1t is possible
that the political situation is about
to undergo change Of front if we
concede. as is natural that Mr. Taft
has made minute and careful study
of the situation which has resulted in
his discovering future colonial com
plications looming up on The horizon.
Six years of preparation have bsen
necessary, according to the account
of Secretary Taft, but il would seem
that the Colonies are already IN condi-
ton TO assume the sponsibilitics Of
self-govcrnment, when he admits that
they have become a burden TO the
United States, though in admitting
that with such frank expression, he
evidently fails to see that it contradic
is one of the pet legends of the re
dcmptionists and destroys the supreme
argument in favor of an expansionist
policy.
If they have undertaken to redeem
peoples from bsrbarism to save them
from anarchy. it is impossible to con
ccive how those who have taken upon
themselves this laborious and grAtui
tous task, could bring themselves, on
the slightest sign Of resistance. to
abandon an ideal SO loudly proclaimed.
because there may be colonies tnat
protest. or strangers who threaten.
Never was there more absurd
pretext used TO serve for great
abuse.
Is that the way the North American
Republic views preparation; is that

Are we now prepared for self go
vernmcnt?
Because if we are not, if there exists
the fear that we might return to a
chaos of anarchy were the aquillenu
tunctionaries to deprive Us of their
saving presence. we would have to
admit that Mr.. Taft's expressions con
dem that stupid policy of expansio
nism which Is steadily growing worse
creating conflicts. fomrnting incura
ble disaffections and spreading throu
ghout the nation hatreds, suspicious,
and hostility.
We are accustomed to all sorts tf
surprises and strange happenings.
Therefore it occasions no surprise
to know that the american criterio
respecting the degree of our fitness fol
l,elf-government is in direct relation
with the success of the Japanese war
with the victories Of The Empire of
the Rising Sun.
How strange and wonderful are the
condolences which sometimes happen
But that they do happen is cviden,
when the Secretary of War affirms i,
in the form of a parable, and the
| opinion of the exalted North A merican
is shared by portion Of the press.
With us. who might be termed the
colonial red bail, they have made =
chance carom. which ought to discou
cert the ,rucuent Mr.. po t, if he were
pa bic of looking towards the hori
zon, as has been done by the Secretary
# War.
AS all things change. We may hope
for variation Of The pt expression
! of the coterie of functionaries. They
cannot consistently continae using the
, phrase which has been repeated to the
point.of Safety. 1t cannot again be
said that we are not prepared for self
government, because it would have a
fatal effect on the regulations of the
functionaries were they TO sake their
departure, notwithstanding our lack OF
prepara alton and proneness to revert to
anarchy, without their having fulfilled
their duties as tutors and brought to a
successful termination their redemp
zionist work of americanization
1t is necessary to change the words
as we'll as the tune.
For besides being tiresome and mo-
notonous. the offensive refrain may
turn into bitter irony for those who
invented il.
And our words need cause no su.
prise, because we ourselves have not
besn surprised that the splendid
spectacle of our superior culture and
the Just &C with which we have as
serted our claims, have not produced
as great an effect on the mind of the
Secretary Of War as the unexpected
victories OF the intrepid japanese ad
miral.
