Bryan and the Philippines Again.
philadelphia Press. }


There are one or two things in Mr..
Irving Winslow's letter printed yester-
day which possibly deserve more serious
treatment than the mood of the mo-
ment suggested. Directing to the crit
icism of Mr.. Bryan for his attitude on
Philippines, Mr.. Winslow asked why
Mr.. Bryan should be singled out and
whether he did not represent the posi-
ton of the Democratic party.
We will not say in answer that there
Is no Democratic party, but we may say
that the Democratic party has no posi-
ton. 1t is a derelict. 1t is a hulk
without rudder or sails. 1t is the vic
tim of every veering wind and every
shifting current. Thousands of indi-
vldual Democrats believe the flag
should stay in the Philippines. They
are patriotic enough and American
enough to share the American spirit
But the Democratic party as party is
drifting, and it could be brought to take
any position that Mr.. Bryan might in
dictate.
He is singled out because he is about
the only Democrat who is saying any,
thing definite on the subject, because
ne has personal responsibility beyond
any other Democrat and because he
alone is actually doing mischief. He has
twice been candidate for President.
He is likely to be candidate again. He
has been among the Filipinos and they
know him as candidate. When, there
fore, he advocates independence it fills
them with false ideas. 1t is all the more
reprehensible because if Mr.. BRYAN
were really President he could only carry
on the very policy that is now being fol-
lowed. He is raising hopes which he
himself could not fulfill and his attitude
IS altogether consurable.
MIR. Winslow thinks the great cost of
the Philippines and the still greater cost
of defending them in case of war make
make the American people anxious to
get rid of them. His first trouble is
with his promise. What is the cost of
the Philippines? The cost of their gov
eminent is paid by their own revenues.
We believe that not one cent is paid out
OF the treasury of the United States for
that purpose. The only expense that
devolves on the United States is the cost
of that portion of the army that is sta
toned there, and it costs little more to
keep the army in the Philippines than it
does to keep it on the Western plains.
Then as to the Philippines in case of
war. If the United States were involved
in war with any power the fate of the
Philippines would probably depend on
the fate of the war. If the United States
were triumphant the Philippines would
stay. If the United States were defeat
ed, where would there be reader or bet
ter compensation to offer the victor?
The Philippines themselves would in.
volve no risk. Suppose even they were
ogerrun by the enemy-the enemy
would simply have to get out when the
war was over. Unless there is immin-
once of war and unless this country is
going to be beaten in that war there is
no use borrowing any trouble on account
II the Philippines, Mr.. Winslow had |
better put on his thinking cap, if he has
Iuch an article, and reason the matter

A great many Democrats say they
like Mr.. Roosevelt for the things he
does, but they do not like the way he
does them. This is absolutely silly. If
a man is brave and honest enough to do
a good thing, why array yourself against

you think is proper?

A CHANGE IN FENCING.

A few years ago only the old rail
fence was the main stay of protection
to enclosures and it was not an uncom-
mon sight to see farm with ten rail
fence and riders on top of it. The fact
is that every farm was rallied in and all
the cross fences were of rails. Only
around the yards and small enclosures
plank was used. What difference then
and now. AS the price of timber adj

vanced the people ceased to make rails
and the old crooked fence was displaced
by slat fence. This went merrially on
for several years until the old rail fence
looked all out of date and now nearly
every farm has more slat than any
other kind. The next step was a ire
mendous advance in timber. about one
year ago, and now the Stat fence is
merely to be repaired while all new
fences are being built out of wire.
Within a few more years everything
will be wired. 1t would be safe in

Editor Wheeler Speaks

Editor Wheeler of The Idaho Reg
lister throws another one of his not.
able conniption fits in his last issue
Wheeler, the gentleman who gave us
a roast when we established a new
paper in the same county he is in,
and kept busy all fall telling people
that 1t was only a campaign sheet,
and would not be in evidence after
the election was over, throws a con-
tinuation of his old fit. Wheeler the
dignified gentleman who told his
readers that The Republican was
nearly all printed in Salt Lake, and
that arrangements were being made
to have it all printed there, lied right
royalty to the people who pay him to
tell them what is going on, but last
week, said he would not attend a
gathering of the editors for the reas-
on that the day was Sunday. He said
it was not on account of any con-
sciencious scruples of his own and
judging by the number Of unkind
things he has said, and the uncalled
for slurs he has been turning out all
these years, we don't think it is.
Wheeler is a source of amusement
to us. He says the Capital News, the
biggest liar in the state, has cut him
off their exchange list, and that that
is too small 4hd mean thing for
anybody. to do; that he even contin-
ues to exchange with the slush pot
publish by Byrd Trego.
OF course we don't know what kind
of slush Is in the pot, but so long as
people turn from the bile and worm
wood Of the Register to the slush of
The Republican, 1t looks good to us.
We like Wheeler anyway. He has
contributed more to our business the
past few years than any other pub
Usher in the state; but he has such
funny way of doing it! We al
ways .stick up" for the old man too.
When anybody says he Is a CRATER,
we say mo-" and point out the fact
that he has not acquired fortune
in long business career in a good
country. If they respond with that
old remark that he might have been
rich If he had refrained from play
ing poker and betting on elections,
we reply that we never saw him lose
money in poker game nor put up
money on elections, and we never did.
Mr.. Wheeler riducules the editors
for passing resolution commend
ing Senator Hepburn for his action
in bringing some of the crafts of
New York banks to the attention Of
The President, and also for express
sing their opinion against the pro-
posed action of the state to postpone
the payment of taxes, and says this
is not a proper sphere for them to
act In.
Isn't 1t strange that Wheeler con-
dennis the very things he has been
doing all these years. What are edi-
torial opinions for anyway, unless 1t
is for expression and publication.
Wheeler's attitude toward other
editors reminds us of one of those
wild horses that used to infect the
Snake River plains, that never would
run with anything but his own band,
and was dubbed straw king" by the
riders; but his band never consisted |
of anything but two or three old geld
ings.
