Renero1ent AssimIIation.

Occasionally there Is heard an
echo of the old academic opposition
to the possession OF the Philippine
Islands by this country. Usually it
takes the form of a slurring refer
ence to benevolent assimilation. :"
Yet there Is a strong probability
says the Cleveland Leader, that in
short time this feeling will disap-
pear as did the popular dissatisfac-
ton regarding the purchase of
Alaska. The United States Is max
ing good before the world its dec
Iaration that it's intentions towards
the Filipinos were benevolent. To-
day, in the Philippines, there are
100000 children in schools oper-
ated under the American system.
or these 100000 are receiving in
struction in the Industrial arts. This
makes it certain that In time English
will be the distinguishing language
of the islands. A thousand miles
of railroads have been commenced
and more than half completed.
Financially, the Philippines are
costing this country nothing aside
from the expense of maintaining a
part of the army there The entire
expense of the civil government Is
being provided for by tariffs and a
system of revenue taxes. And the
intelligent Filipinos realize the great
Improvement brought about in the
welfare of the people by the differ
ence between the revenue collected
for this purpose and the heavy taxes
wrung from them by the Spaniards,
to be divided between grating Of
fcials and the royal treasury in
Madrid.
The future of the FiIipinos IN
doubtedIy lies with themselves II,
when they have reached the stage
OF development where they are ca
pable of governing themselves. they
desire independence, there is little
doubt that they will attain obtain
it.

Have No Plans.

Here is a good editorial from the
Herald-Dispatch, but 1t
should have contained a line or two
more to the effect that the Demo
Gratis never had a plan, have none
now and never will have any con-
corning the old debt question:
In answer to a demand for a
statement showing in what way the
Democrats could have made a bet
ter defense of the Virginia debt suit
than has been made by the RepubiI-
can administration, the Advertiser
says that the Democrats, had they
been in power, could not possibly
have made a worse mess OF it than
has been made by the Republicans,
which probably means that the
Democrats would have done their
best to do the worst thing possible.
Meanwhile, we are waiting to hear
Democratic critics suggest a plan
which would afford an Improvement
upon that which has been pursued
In the conduct of the debt case. II
the Democratic papers know how
the interests of the people may be
better protected than under the
present arrangement, they certainly
owe the people OF the state the
duty of telling it.

New York wholesalers are the
most independent the Telegram
knows anything about. They are
willing to sell Clarksburg merchants
but they are SO slow that they never
think about quick delivery. 1t wes
up to the express company itself to
advise Clarksburg buyers that, If they
really count on quick delivery,
they must notify the New York men
to deliver the goods to the express
company. There is nothing like
coming to the aid OF the express
company, at least that is what the
express company thinks about 1t.
The parcels post would probably be
a great relief to the express COM
pany, and those who have to deal
with a company that sends out such
advice as referred to in this edi-
'toriaI will also be glad, when the
proposed parcels post system comes
to the relief of the company. ,

what boots 1t to those who want
a house cleaning in the Democratic
party whether 1t is suggested by
william Randolph Hearst. The fact
that that party needs a house clean
ing, especially in West Virginia, is
recognized by thousands of other
Democrats. 1t is the house cleaning
itself that is really the material part
Of the question and not the one who
suggests it. If the Exponent wants
a house cleaning in New York state
it will join hands with Hearst, but
it is. not doing so, which is evidence
Of another fact that it wants none
in this state, and, therefore, it proves
by itself that it is content with what
is in this state, which goes to show
that it is under the complete domi-
nation of the Democratic bosses OF
this state. serving the special inter
ests with all the courage it dares
summon up under the ciFcum-

Sen Supremacy.

In the last ten years the eight
principal powers of the world have
spent over 81, 5oO,OOo,Ooo in the
maintenance Of navies in order to
keep up parity of lighting capacity
on the high seas. notes the Philadel-
phia Record. None of this vast out
lay has gone to increase national
productivity. 1t has been spent for
purposes of ofense and destruction.
In ten years more Of the battleships
will be out OF date and ready for
the scrap heap, and the process OF
renewal will require the expenditure
OF a still larger proportion of the
earnings OF the nations. Naval eX-
penditure grows by what it feeds on
becoming more costly as the means
OF offense become more deadly and
more elaborate.
While these ornaments serve to
keep up balance OF maritime power
they give no assurance of peace. II
may be doubtful whether peace be
not actually endangered by the ina
bility of the nations to longer en-
dure the overstrain of preparation
for war. The time may come when
it will be more tolerable to take the
risk of battle than the risk Of bank
ruptcy.
What might not have been accom-
plished for the good OF humanity il
in the last ten years the money spent
in preparation for international MUIR
dering had gone to insure the. lives
OF workingmen in all fields Of in
dustry, to increase wages, to advance
to improve sanitation
to expand productive power. and to
teach men better how to live!
