there probably would be an
organization of the organiz-
ed territory until you could
getrcady forioint statehood,
and then you could pass
in with a constitution
made up by persons who
are not so patriotic and
not so full of the desire to

from Taft's speech.
The above language, quo.
ted from the speech of Secre-
tary Taft, is one OF the
most amazing indiscretions
that we have ever met with
i'm words.
To begin with, Taft would
not, could not say anything
that is not in accord with
Roosevelt and his policies,
as Roosevelt's abilities as a
lightning change artist as
regards the members of his
cabinet are well known by
many ex-secretaries, from
Emory Smith down to
Hitchcock and Bonaparte.
Therefore, Taft has set forth
the attitude of the President,
and voices him. The Pres
ident is therefore opposed to
the constitution, although
he cannot turn down State
hood, "and would be conf
dent that there would be q
new enabling act xxx xxx
and that then you would
pass in with a constitution
made up by persons who are
not so patriotic and not so
full OF the desire to exactly
ascertain the will of the peo-
ple.'
The administration poses
a good deal Oh the propo-
sition of the square deal.
The evidence of it is the
sending Of two secretaries
to Oklahoma to tell a peo-
pie who have begged for self
government for sixteen
years and have it nov with
in their grasp that they
must forego it until "a new
enabling act is passed which
will admit Oklahoma with a
constitution not written in
accordance with the instruc-
tions of a liberty-loving peo-
pie. A square deal, us we
understand 1t, is an eX-
change whereby both parties
get value received. Under
the proposed arrangement
OF Secretary Taft, it is diff
cult to see what good thing
the people would get. They
forego self-government un-
der a constitution that Taft
admits contains a great

valuable" and remain in the
status of 'irilipinos, subject
to government by a carpet

The AFFAIR has caused a painful impress

that the movement is not limited to Germany,
