tMack.s National Mon.hly.l

Republicans have started early to prepare for the presidential campaign of 1912, but the great organization which the late Mark Hanna con slrueted out of money and held ip- tact with the same agency has erum blsd. What President Taft received was but a mere skeleton of the for mer machine, and he failed to dis. cover its demoralization until it was so badly crippled that 1t is doubtful if he will be able in the year and half before the next republican na- tional convention to reconstruct it. AldTich, Cannon, Payne. and what the country knew as the Money Crowd" captured MT. Tat before he had been fairly seated in the White House, He became surrounded with Wickershams and KnOXes and such other cabinet officers as they would approve and gave his name and voice to the support of the tariff and corporation schemes. All the time the tide of popular disapproyal was rising, exhibiting itself in such erup- tions as the congressional election of Foss in Massachusetts and Havens in New York. Even these did not serve as a warning. Then came the congressional landslide Of Noyem- ber
 On December 27th last, friends of the administration made it known in an emphatic manner that Presi- dent Taft intended 10 stand for a re- nomination in 1912. They said that as late as the first of December the situation did not look promising to the President and he belived that the November defeat presaged an other disaster in the national cleo. ton two years hence. The dis patches sent out from Washington on the 27th, however, contained the announcement that whatever the DO litical developments of the next two years may be. Mr. Taft's name will he placed before the republican con vention of 1912. Also. the dispatches added, MT. Taft's friends expect he will have the support of Colonel Roosevelt.
 All of this was clear enough if il had accounted for the insurgents that West and Middle West force which came into being immediately after the president showed his pref erence for Uncle Joe and the 'Money Crowd" It is true that one of tho most able and brilliant of the in surgent leaders had died, but the, grew more rapidly where he ha- lived and on the 23rd of January th, announcement came from Washing ton that the insurgents in congress and their followers had perfected al organization to promote their prons ganda throughout the country.
 The new organization is known a the National Republican Progressiv league. Its president is Senate jonathan Bourne, Jr., O

Oregon; vice president. George " orTis. of Nebraska; second vice president. Governor Charles s. Os born of Michigan: treasurer, Charles R Crane of Illinois. The admins tration forces at Washington have not concealed the fact that they look upon this as an organized move ment on the part of the insurgents to present a progressive candidate for the presidency to the convention of 1912 President Taft certainly can draw no comfort from such a reaS ing of the prophetic list. Among the organizers are nine United States senators. six republican governors and thirteen insurEent representa- tives in congress. The two PinchOt
 are on the list, as is James R Garfield of Ohio; Charles R. Crane of Chicago, who was appaonted min ister to China by President Taft but r called just as he was about to take the boat; George L. Record of New Jersey, who pursued the Beef | Trust. and other headliners in in- surgency.
 ! On the following evening Senator elect Miles Poindexter addressed the Insurgents club in New York City. Earlier in the day Mir. Poindexter
 was interviewed in Mr Kingsbury's office in the United Charities build
 ing which is not far from the Out
 look office. Asked if Colonel Roose
 welt was member, he said:
 50 far as I know Mir. Roosevelt [ is not connected with the National
 Republican Progressive league and
 he is not member. Of course tbe
 movement needs leaders, and ii ] Roosevelt should come out in support
 of the league. well. why nOt?''
 Blr. Taft's one hope for renomina
 tion rests entirely with Theodore Roosevelt. The former president
 alone can break up the insurgenf movement against a Taft renomin
 ation, and even he will have to rids the Western plains for many month: to accomplish that result. and it i!
 very doubtful if he will take tha

Roosevelt been successful ih the New York state campaign there would be much less doubt as to his position of leadership in the 1912 cont st. The republican party has four decades of money-subservie behind it. To accept the insurgents and Roosevelt again it would have to become a radical. Il must cross and re-cross its own tracks.

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Although it would be practically impossible to protect the Philippine islands in the event of war with Japan, and although the retention of these far of possessions. is. costing the people of the United States millions of dollars year-yet there have been developments recently which indi- cate that if the republicans have their way. independence will not be given the islands within the pres ent generation"
 There is reason to believe this policy is being agit8ted by powerful special interests which have already started in on the exploitation of the natural resources of the islands.
 In other words. the very thing that President BcYinIey secretly feared when the Philippines were taken over. is coming to pass.
 Mckinley declared to men still living that there was the greatest danger of exploitation of the islands by greedy American capital. He caused to be inserted in the pr. ganic law of the Philippines a pro vision that no corporation could pur. chase in excess of 2.500 acres O. public domain. And for a time the ! foresight of Mckinley held the rich sugar and timber lands safe.
 Recently, however. the sugar trust found a way to purchase, at a ridic. ulous price. 55.0O0 acres CN the very richest of the Friar sugar lands. The way was provided by United States Attorney General wiokersharn who at the time of his appointment was a sugar trust attorney Mir
 Wickersham held that the govern ment had acquired the Frisr lands subsequent to the taking over of Inc Philippines. and that the law conceived by Mckinley for the ex. press purpose of preventing wba. the tTr>t was aiming at, did not ] apply to the Friar lands.
 i The successful entry to the nat. urai wealth Of the islands by tbe sugar trust. with similar advance by large rubber and lumber inter ests' is viewed by the Filipipo. Wlth alarm and despair. They are coming more and more to feel ina, uncle sam is denying them inda pendence m%e because the An,... icah trusts desire it rn-a becaus. they are not it for self governmenf | Secretary of War Dickinson recent

inhabitants of the islands to hc-c that they will be permittei to govern themselves within the present gen eration.
 The war secretary states that neace, law and order prevail through out the islands and that former head hunters are now devoting them selves to agriculture and other peace ful pursuits.
 He shows that a deep and wide spread interest is manifested in ed- ucation on the part Of young and old and that the burden oi s@Xa ton for schools, good roads and in- ternaI improvements is cheerfully borne.
 Good progress is being made in learning the Fnelish laneGage. Tke financial conditions of the islands is sa,;sfactor, Mr Dick'n5on reDorts. there being a surplus of s6,294.- 79356 Uncle Sam's defcit fcs' anlv the last four months was more than so 900 o00)
 The railroads are well constructed and well maintained; progress Is being made in. agriculture, and there is a widespread movement for the promotion of health conditions.
 Query: If the Filipinos are making such excellent progress as Mir. Dick inson reports, why is it a wild de si 10 independence ~within the time Of the present generation even 'unoec the best and most rapid develop. ment possibIe?7
 The republicans in their next as- tional platform will in substance probably express themselves as Mir. Dickinson has done. It is the rec ] ognized republican position. Yet il is obvious that if the Phiiippines are not cut loose from us within @ I generation. it will be difficult to di- vorcs them at all Bv the end of i another generation American capital will have become thorouqbly in. trenohed and will demand stiIl furth- CT American occupation of the is lands for the protection of American interests
 It is believed that only in the event of the Taft regime being sue ceeded by democratic adminfstra- ton, is there any hope of early with drawal of American troops in the interest Of a neutralized Filipino re public.
 Democrats have advocated the training of the Filipinos in self government with view of cutting loose from us as quickly as possi blo consistent witb the isIandz vel f;src- They LEs tried in valn fs get tEe republicans tc agree 10 -nre date for separation.
