to think for them. They need master
and when they find man mean
enough and INSCRIPTIONS enough to
take advantage of their lack of men,
tality they follow him. 1t was be-
fore people of this kind that Dowie
was accustomed to rise up and ask
whether or not they believed that
John Alexander Dowie was Elijah re-
incarnate, and always received the
amen. yes.
His forte was his power of denun-
citation. His curses were fierce and
vile. He hurled them at friends and
foes alike. In this way he scared a
great many people into taking stock
in him. He grew so accustomed to
believing at the weak minded men
and women who surrounded him that
he may have deceived himself into be-
lieving that he really possessed great
power.
Dowie was not a fool before he be-
came insane. He knew enough to
plan a system by which he could keep
the money pouring into his Golfers.
So long as he realized his own limita-
tions he was a success as charlatan,
but his unvarying success in over
awing the creatures who surrounded
him led to his downfall. Because he
succeeded in building up Zion City in
Chicago; because he daily was al
lowed to call down imprecations upon
the press and authorities and receive
an amen in unison from his followers,
he thought that he could invade other
communities and compel people to
turn their property over to him. So
he organized the invasion of New
York, but the people of the East Side
of New York simply looked at him
and his followers in wonderment but
contributed nothing of their belong
ings. These New York residents were
just people of ordinary intelligence
and consequently Dowie could do
nothing with them. His own follow
ers who witnessed this failure began
to wonder why the wicked New York
ers were not struck down by light
ming. From that time on John Alex
ander Dowie declined until at last one
Of his followers took his place.
Before Dowie discovered the scheme
of separating men from their money
he was man of no great vices, just
a faker. When he became rich he
became licentious, extravagant and
vulgar. Dowie's end, wrecked man
in a. wrecked city, is not to be Won
dered at. lift it were not sinful it
would be nevertheless very dangerous
for man to pose as a divinity. For
man with Dowies vulgar desires
and living according to his standard
to make such a preposterous claim,
was enough to call down the wrath
of God. Dowie's death means the
wreck of another pseudo religious So
cialistic plan. Unless his late follow
ers can be persuaded, as one Of them
predicted on the way to the grave,
that the prophet will come again in
greater power than ever before, the
end Of Zion City is in sight. Dowie
is dead. There is a good position open
for real, live faker with the other
necessary qualifications. Zion City is
in the hands of the court and will
soon be for sale.

NEurRALIzLNe THE PHILIPPINES

NEUTRALlZLNG THE PHILIPPINES
"Neutralizing the Philippines is now,
according to a Washington dispatch
in the Sun, the pet project of a Re-
publican of very great influence" says
the Evening Post.
1T is heralded AS a new discovery
and one Of remarkable merit for the
reason that it would relieve the Uni
ted States of the necessity of fortify-
ing the Philippines and defending
them in time of war; This country
would not then maintain naval sta
tions there, but it could continue it's
work of educating the Filipinos. All
this is fresh proof Of the fact that
the Republican leaders are thoroughly
sick of the Philippine bargain We
may all be glad that their feet are
once more on the earth and that there
has been a SOLDERING down after its
Intoxicating vision of riches and en-
pire, which filled the speeches of Nc
Kinley and Griggs and all the rest in
1898 and 1S99 What sorry reading
they would make now and how they
would reflect upon the wisdom and
foresight which Republican statesmen
are forever attributing to each other.
There was Secretary Wilson, for in
stance, who was sure that the Pacific
coast was going to become overwhelm-
ingly rich out of the sale of canned
fruits to the F'ilipinos. He has not
been heard from of late, nor is it
known how he feels about the fact
that nine years after our conquest
of the Philippines our trade with the
archipelago is worth less to us than
that with Hawaii or Cuba or even
Porto Rico. Eager as we are for the
naturalization of the Philippines we
cannot let the Suns unnamed Repub-
lican genius claim that his plan is
original.
1t is to the despised anti-imperialist
that credit for this proposal is due.
AsAc1SoNCl, IL 10 lllOEc llltI a year since
no less a Republican than Congress-
man Mccall introduced resolution
authorizing the President to enter into
negotiations with the powers of Eur
ope for the purpose Of making neu-
trail territory of the Philippine archi-
pelago. 1t is true that with this was
coupled the proposal that there should
also be recognition of an independent
Philippine government, but the form
er was and is an eminently feasible
proposition for which there are plenty
of precedents. Switzerland and Bel
gium have long been neutralized by
international agreement. China was
practically neutralized during the Rus
sian and Japanese war, thanks to the
efforts of Secretary Hay.
Such an arrangement would also be
a very great benefit to the United
States if only because it would put
an end to the disturbing rumors that
Japan or Germany are planning to
steal the islands away from us. Rum
ors that appear annually about the
time of passing the naval appropria-
ton bill with it's provision for more
battleships. Altogether the neutrali-
zation plan is so obviously the proper
one for the United States to adopt,
particularly from the military. naval
and financial points Of view. that one
can only wonder that the Republican
party, in it's monopoly of wisdom. has
not long since adopted it.
