Philippines.
All this, it must be remembered
was before the peace commissioners
had ever started abroad. There was
no fighting going on, but we were
in position to control Cuba, Porto
Rica. and the Philippines beyond all
question. Late in the evening
called the presidents attention to
the fact that he, in one day, appar-
emily had developed great national
policy of vast Importance. He a.op.
ped moment and said in his quiet
way. although of course cannot re-
member the exact words:
y suppose it is true that my pro
gressive speeches this day while
travelling across the state of Iowa
Will be taken not only at home but
abroad as basis for the policy we
Will insist upon in negotiating the
treaty of peace. l don't care much
If that Interpretation is put on these
speeches. No man, whether he he
president or congressman, and no col
lection of public officials can create
any great public policy. They can
only register the will of the people.
i would rather have the point of
view of these Iowa farmers as bas-
is for my future policy than the ad-
vice of great merchants or college
professors or famous statesmen. 1t
is true l have progressed in a single
day, but believe you will surely FIND
that the sentiment we have fouad
expressed so decidedly here in Iowa
today is the sentiment of all the
people, and that in the long run it
Will decide the question of policy,
whether we believe that policy to be
wise or not"
Day in Iowa Fixed National Policy.
President Mckinley was wise in
his generation. l know that he felt
some doubt as to the wisdom of
keeping the Philippines, and later on
he was careful to leave door open
for giving the people their independ-
ence when they had fitted themselves
or 1t, but it was one day across the
Iowa prairies which fixed the policy
of the United States as it exists to-
day, and ii was fixed not by an arbi-
IL 81
trary decision of the president him
self but by his accurate gauging of
the determination of the people that
the islands should not go back to
Spanish misrule that they should
not be turned over to Germany or
Japan, but that the American white
men should bear their burden and
build up the Filipinos to the point
where our spoils of war should not
degenerate into prize of mere Eur
opean diplomacy.
1t is pity that Mr.. Aldrich and
Mr.. Lodge and other men who ought
ito know better do not see that when
Senators Dolliver, Cummins, Bever.
idge, Bristow, La Toilette, Nelson,
Clapp,s and others take the stand
they do they are only representing
public sentiment, which in the long
run will be Irresistible and which
can define the tariff policy just as
easily as it did the greater one of
expansion. 1t might be
good idea to put Mr.. Aldrich, MIR.
Lodge. Mr.. Crane, and some other
of the eastern senators on a special
train and let them go touring and
speeches to crowds in the
rural districts of Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Kansas, and
other states.

Listened to the Interior.

When he wanted to find real cry
stallization of public sentiment in
the United States he never went to
the Atlantic seaboard for his informa-
tion, because he knew well the cor
porate and immigration influences of
that section. = Instead of that he lis
tened to such good purpose that dur
ing the whole of his administration,
involving as it did the building up of
an entirely new system of colonial
sovernme mt, after the carrying on of
successful war, he never made a
serious political blunder
AT the risk of repeating something
1 may have written long ago, it
seems just as well to tell the story
of when and where and how William
mckinley developed his expansion
policy, which prevails today and
which is accepted by the people as
final. 1t is case directly in point
because President Mckinley was
wise enough to know that when the
great interior mass of the people
had made up their minds that fact
created the only safe guide for the
establishment OF great public pol
icy.
