;f THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION,
r't Reading the debete between Sen
! ators Beveridge and Hoar one is led
to inquire what the real objections to
the retention of the Philippine arch
S ipelago are on the part of those criti
! cising the administration of Presi
Q dent McKinlev. We must remember
A that it is cot a question of the aoqui
V sition of those islands, but the propo-
eitlon must be, if the United States
is wrong in acquiring them, shall we
surrender them? And this brings the
statesman face to face with very eeri
ous propositions, full of peril to the
nation: surrounded with difficulties
V which should make the "peace-at-any-
1 price" statesman hesitate before "put
f ting hie foot in it."
;; But what of the debate? On the
I one side. Senator Beveridge vibited
the Philippine archipeligo; inspected
the immediate surroundings of all
parties the hospitals; the troops; went
among the insurrectionists; . heard
their side of the difficulty from their
most intelligent leaders; investigated
the claims of Aguinaldo and his fol
lowers; looked into the immediate
casus belli: ascertained for himself
who was to blame for the overt ac
by which blood was shed and war pre
cipitated; made a study of the re
sources of the islands the climate;
the intelligence of the people and
their fitness for enlightened govern
ment; the advantages to the United
States, from a commercial standpoint.
to retain those islands; the possibili
ties of our future as a commercial na
tion in the far east.
On the other 6ide, Senator Hoar,
during the same period, visited Eu
rODe: undoubtedly met and consulted
the emissaries of Aguinaldo; flat In
councils of the-Anti-Expansion club
at Boston and from such standpoint
assails, not only the administration of
President McKinley,. but the, gallant
army and navy which is upholding our
cause in the far-away east
Who is right in this controversy?
Which of these statesmen, uttered
sentiments recently ia the senate, will
meet the calm, considerate judgment
of the American people. The man
who puts the proposition, surrounded
with all the facts and circumstances of
the case, or the man who places it on
Ben ti mental and false grounds?
The Philippine possession, every
intelligent person will admit, are the
accident of the war. At the outbreak
no one dreamed of those fart ff islands
becoming involved in the Spanish
American war over Cuba. But those
islands did become involved on a beau
tiful May morning and they are with
us now; and, we have with them, the
strongest assembled naval fleet and
the best and most gallant army In the
world. :;
The democratic 'barn-Btomtrs ' o
the Bryan echool attempt to present
an anti-ex pan b ion Issue over the acqui
sition of these islands, but seem to
overlook the fact that it was their
class of statesmen and politicians
which bowled for the war, demanded
haste when President McKinley and
bis administration were not ready.
and, in a measure, forced the country
into war before it was prepared for It.
That these anti-expansionists, as a
rule, were the people who "loosed the
dogs of war" and when the "dogs" ac
cidentally pounced down upon the
Philippine rabbit, they should at
least, be modest in their criticisms.
The condition, arising out of this ac
cident, is a physical practical one, not
a theory of expansion or anti-expn-
sion. The country must lace this con
dition, and Sdnator Hoar should dis
cuss it as it is.
Senator Hoar asKs, Where does
Spain get the right to cede the Philip
pine islauds to the United btatesf
"Where did the United States get the
right to buy and sell people like
sheep'? If the charge implied in this
latter interrogatory, were true, where
would Mr. Bryan and his co adjutor.
Senator Allen, standf ine one re

other to vote for the ratification of a

yer would say.
Whre would the long line of illus
trious democraticstatesmen be? Those
who "turntd the dogs of war loose"
and those who helpt d appropriate the
rabbit after it was caught and partici
pated in the purchase of "people like
sheep"

on the contrary, wo can succeed only
in co-operation with them.
"In Philadelphia, our 'lOndiliou s of
a fair house' are on the advice and
with the entire approval of tho em
ployers who have thus far consented
to give us the endorsement of their
names. The 'conditions of a fair
house' are as follows: A fair bouse is
one iu which ten hours (with not lesa
than three-quarters of an hour for
luncheon) constitutes the working
day, and in which a general half-holiday
is given on one day of each week
during at least two Bummer months;
one in which a vacation of not less
than a week is given, with pay, dur
inz the summer season; one in which
overtime is compensated for; one in
which the work, tbe lunch and the
toilet rooms are apart from each other
and conform in all respects to the
present sanitary laws; one in which
seats are provided to the number of
one for every three females employed,
and such employes permitted to use
them, at reasonable times, to such an
extent as may be requisite for their
health; one in which fidelity and
length of service meet with the con
sideration which is their due; one in
which wages are paid by the week;
one in which fines, it imposed, are
p?.id Into a fund for the benefit of em
ployes." Oae advantage of such an associa
tion is our own education as shoppers.
It is we, not the merchants, who keep
tho girls so late getting home in the
evenings, by doing what, with a little
self-denial -or system on our part,
could be done as well in the daytime.
It is we, not the merchants, who make
it necessary, to keep nearly all stores
open until 10 o'clock, and later, for
a fortnight before Christmas.
Oae thing a consumers' league can
do is to briog about, in unobtrusive
ways, an understanding between em
ployers, whose desires is to be liberal
in their methods, but who cannot
afford, in these times of close compe
tition, to forego the business advant
ages retained by the others "I
would mako shorter hours if the rest
would," said several proprietors in
Boston to the visiting ladies. "They
will if you will," said tho ladies to
each of the merchants. And they all
did, to the satisfaction of everybody
concerned.

ine nrsi consumM- league was
founded In New YorK city in 1889 dur
ing an agitation carried on by the
working women's society for the im
provement of tho condition of w men
and girls employed in retail stores.
The factory act of the state did not
touch these establishments at that
time and their condition was deplor
able, fu answer to the communica
tions of the league, containing a list
of fair conditions, only five stores
were found to be eligible to a place on
the white list among the many retail
houses in the great city, but in 1896
thirty-one of the leading stores In the
city were found on the list.

the secretary, Fred Waugh, read Un
report of the last meeting. This was
followed by the report of Tre -.Burer
George Unruh. The members of the
ex-cutive board won not a little praise
in giving their reports, reading so dis
tinctly that not a word was lo9t. A
motion was made by one of the mem
bers that tho regular business be post
poned until the next meeting. The
mouon carried.
Miss Lansing then favored the uui;.i
enee with a solo, which was weil re
ceived. The president, in a very neat little
speech, spoke of the work of the class,
as outlined in their year-book, and the
object of the organization. He said,
in part: "We intend to be upright,
honest boys; courteous to our parents,
to our teuchers and to ail whom we
meet." At the close of his address,
the president introduced the speaker
of the evening. Mason Wbeeler, who,
for thirty-five minutes, gave a most
instructive talk on ships in general,
closing with a brief description of the
mod.l he had made tolling the name
and use of every pait with a clearness
which v. ou'.d have done credit to a sea
caotain. It is something unusual for
a boy living iu an inland town, one
who has never had a glimpse cf old
ocean, to take such an interest in ship
building. When one takes into con
sideration the. fact that this boy for
two months put in his spare time on
this model, his example, as well as his
boat, is worthy of emulation. Surely
everyone vio heard this talk must
have thought it was a generous thing
for tho sspeaker to come to Platts
mouth and give not only the members
this class, but the fathers and moth
ers as well, such a treat. At the close
of this most txcellent address ihe
speaker waj applauded in such a way
as to leave no doubt of tho apprecia
tion of the audience.
Miss Vallery sang a solo, "The
Ring," in a clear, tweet voice, with
Miss Lmsing as accompanist.
The pretident then asked Mrs.
Travis to say a woid in behalf of the
pub'ic library. In a short talk Mrs.
Travis told of the needs, as well as the
hopes, of the library board. The citi
zens who wore present and heard her
pica for this organization, must have
felt moved to do something toward
helping on the good work which
means so much to the boys and girls of
this city.
Frank Morgan made a motion that a
vote ot thanks be tendered Mason
Wheeler for h s able address. The
audience, as well as the class, heartily
said "Aye."
Hilt Wescott gave a piano solo and
the audience demanded a second num
ber. Mr. Wescott kindly responded.
Tbe program was finished, but many
of the boys crowded about their guest
to say "thank you" and not a few of
the fathers and mothers shook hands
with Matoa Wheeler and expressed
their pleasure at he iring, as well as
meeting, him.
The memoers of the class feel very
thankful to the musicians and to Mrs.
Travis for the assistance rendered in
their first program.
The amount realized from the enter
tainment will be about 98, which the
boys will donate toward tbe new
library building.
