IS 1T ALL POLITICS?

a Six years ago the Philippines governed by an

explain why all this brushed aside in favor of Civ
ing the "disquaied majority" vote and letting them
"play" at sefgOvernment-Star
No puzzle about it. The thing done to silence the
demagogues in Congress and to take the edge off "an
imperiaist" criticism. In other Words politics.-Ad
vertiser
Perhaps it is that all their policies and utterances
regarding the Philippines Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft have been nothing but politicians Perhaps when
Taft but month ago. commenting upon the efforts to give
FilpinOs much selfrue possible said the work being
done redounded to the credit of the American nation he

the Advertiser long called such expressions of be-
lief in popular serule But if practical sense
the lesson is the If big find necessary
America fight for local sefgOvernment when they
don't believe in it, it must of course, be because the people
of the country devoted the proposition that the big
dare oppose it. Verbum sap We don't think this
idea of politics is the view We think that the three
statesmen mentioned sincere in their nsstent policy of
giving the Philippines selfue and that the leaders of the
Philippines issue in the last campaign issue the Re-
publicans dared not face,--are also sincere.
The idea behind all this is that the people
devoted to local sefgovernment just complete it

be governed well by autOcras olgarches and they
willing pay for the and waste firmly adherng
the notion that it the best in the end They think it
leads training of fit citizens thus leading the
only stable good that possible in the end
To these who don't appreciate this point of view and who
think it is all politics. must repeat be puzzle
to explain why the United States didn't govern
the Philippines instead of starting expensive risky plan
of making them govern themselves.

SUBSIDY FIGHT AGAIN.

The ship subsidy question is evidently to be revived in Con
gress, with President Taft strongly backing subsidy The
following paragraphs from the Washington Star indicate
that the administration is going take up the matter il
earnest,and there signs that the Taft administration
going to have strong influence indeed in Congress-
President Taft has given authority to have his
used as favoring ship subsidy He talked today with
Representative Fassett of Ney York, who will deliver
speech ship subsidy tomorrow night before the
National Merchants Marine League Cleveland,
Ohio.
President Taft will discuss ship subsidy in his
sage to the next regular session of Congress- He has
not prepared special plan for settling this ques
ton. After eight months consideration he will have
definite ideas to present.

POETRY FROM THE MARINE CAMP

MISS UNITED STATES.
Oh, we've danced with the maids of old
Brazil,
And we've kissed the dear girls of
Peru;
And, in soft moonlight of warm tro-
pic night,
We've made love as all good marines
do.
Oh, we've fondled the girls of far
Argentine,
And we crooned of a palace of gold.
With their dark, flashy eyes, like big
fire flies,
They treasure the tales that we told.
In Australian bowers, mid roses of red
Our songs of sweet fancy>grew,
And in dear old Japan, every last liv-
ing man,
Left heart that had sworn to be
true.
But the tale that is told on warm
summer night,
And the love that is won in day.
Are tricks of the trade, which, as soon
as they're made
Like marines cares, fade away.
For there's only one girl for your
~ young Uncle Sam,
Be he soldier or sailing the sea;
And the love that he calls, when the
last anchor falls,
Is named Hortense, or Maggie Magic.
So it's How do you do Miss United
States?"
And its step right aboard and this
way
From captain to mate, it's home-com-
ing fete,
And it's out with the Hip, Hip, Hoo
ray!"
Come, Alice and Bessie and Mary and
Nell;
Come Sarahs and Lauras and Hates.
Here hearts Of true blue are waiting
for you
For you, Miss United States

In little town as the sun went down
Stood a mother and her son,
And her tears fell fast, as the bugle

From afar called her only one
Mother dear" he cried, DRY your dear
old eyes,
I'll come marching home to you,
And some day you'll be proud of Blatts,
In his uniform of blue.
When she hears the bugle calling
AS the boys go marching by,
When her tears are gently falling
From her heart there comes a sigh
By the Preside she is dreaming;

While amid the camp fires cleaning
Lies little boy called Blatts.
Mid the battle strife, fighting life for
life,
One by one the soldiers fall;
From the ranks of death, with his part

Blatts is sounding his final call,
There he lies that night by the camp
fires bright,
With his bugle on his breast
And they raise their caps, as their own
dear Blatts
Is laid to his final rest.
