RODERICK DHU SUTHERLAND doubt
less "Meant no disrespect to the defense
less dead , " to quote the late lamentec
McKeighan , when he stated in his In-
dianola speech , last Saturday , "For my
self , I am not a farmer ; but a lawyer. "
While there is just ground for conten
tion in the latter claim , we will let it go
at that. Dhu's entire record as a law
yer , however , hasn't gathered him as
much moss as his two terms in congress ,
as a politician have.
THE following is an extract from a
letter written by Senator Hoar to the
Anti-imperialistic League. It runs as
follows : "I expect nothing from Mr.
Bryan , I expect nothing from Tammany
Hall , I expect nothing from the populace
that govern our great central cities. I
expect nothing in that direction from
the solid south , though the solid south
contains now many honest and patriotic
men. I expect that what is to be done
for freedom and justice in the future is
to be done by the party that stood for
freedom and justice in the past. I would
rather trust the future of the Philippine
people to those people" ( referring to the
Republicans ) "than trust it to the men
who , when the treaty was pending ,
played and juggled with this great and
cacred matter of human liberty for a
party purpose. "
