OLD HICKORY WILSON

The wave of Dissent and hostile
criticism which greeted the P-esi-
dents public address at Indianapolis,
and which has kept up during the
three weeks since the address was ut
tered, is surprising. We thin the
criticism has been caused more by
the manner of the speech than by its
substance tt is true that OF one or
two points where he death with prac-
tical matters, like the shipping bill
and the effect of the currency act,
he made assertions to which bank
ers and business men take extreme
exception. But, broadly, it was the
manner of expression which has pro-
voked most of the hostility The
tone was irritable and irritating. It
struck an unusual note throughout,
and was more or less disturbing to
persons familiar with the presidents
more suave utterances. Probably
the best thing to say is that the presi-
dent has been working very hard
for two years, and has been under
both public and private strain. So
far as the substance of the address
goes, the answers to it have been
very much more powerful and con-
vincing. Indeed, one feels rather
sorry for the president and the Demo-
cratic party when it must defend
some Of the measures and ideas It IL
standing for just now against the
logic and oratory of such men as
Senator Borah, Senator Root, Sena-
tor Lodge, and Senator Burton. On
the merits the Republicans have the
best Of the case. In addition, in the
present mood of the. people, they
have overwhelming popular support
on their side. Moreover, these four
men are very much more at home in
the discussion of the practical ques-
lions Of government than any man in
the Democratic party, not excepting
the president himself. In the senate
there practically no Democratic sena-
tor to talk back" to these four sena-
tors The ablest Democratic senator
is John Sharp Williams, and his
strength as an orator and student
is expressed not SO much in the field
of practical business questions of the
fundamental philosophy of govern
ment. Moreover, a careful student
Of the Congressional Record picks
up a good deal of doubt as to
whether Senator Williams is wholly
sympathetic with some of the un-
usual economic alterations that his
party is now embarking upon. The
ablest leadership of the Republican
party today lies somewhere among
the four senators named. OF the
group, Senator Borah has the i'm
portant advantage of being under
fifty. The others are a good deal
nearer to seventy than to ffty-Col-

THE FILIPINOS

Ready's St. Louis Mirror says:
"Ex-President Taft thinks it will
be 60 years before the Filipinos are
fit for independence. The Filipinos,
however, think they are fit for indie
pendence now. And who or what
gives President Taft or anybody else
the right to pass upon the fitness of
the Filipinos for government? Evil
IDENTIFY they are as fit for independ-
ence as the Mexicans. We would be
as much justified in getting out of
Manila as we were in getting out of
Vera Cruz
Mutatis-Mutandis, the cases are not
alike. We drove Spain out of the
Philippines because of her manifest
cruelties there for centuries. That
involved on our part at least an i'm
piled contract that the cruelties
should stop. The world will bear
witness that thus far we have been
true to that contract. We have stop
ped the warning of factions, we have
built school houses and sent there
American teachers to begin the in
struction of thise grown-up children
in the elementary branches of simple
education. Where formerly, there
were wholesale daily murders and no
protection for either life or property
there is now order and peace and
contentment. Had our government
permitted Americans to go there and
fell and ship the valuable timer, add
ing that way to the area that can be
cultivated, the progress would have
been swifter and the value of the
! islands, commercially, would have
been vastly increased But the prog
ress, as it is, has been wonderful,
and what has been done has been
wonderful, and has vastly exalted the
prestige of the United States in that
quarter of the world. Ourfiag in that
window is a light to the world where
the light is most needed.
And all the people there are con-
tent save some would-be plunderers,
who want the offices and the steal
ings. To abandon the islands and
turn the mover to such a fate as has
been Mexico's since the Spanish were
driven out would be a cruelty I'M
speakable, disgrace most profound
and would lower the worlds estimate
of our country and our craftsmanship
in the eyes of all mankind.
We have promised the Filipinos
their independence so soon as they
are fitted for self-government and
the masses Of the people there who
are not barbarians are satisfied with
that. To leave them to their fate
now and to urge as one reason that
distinguished secretary in Washing
tion put out week ago, that in the
event of war We could not prevent
their conquest, makes the people OF
the United States ashamed.
