OLD LIES REVAMPED
JLfUr Saying Nothing on th Subject for
" Thre Months the old Falsehoods

When this Imperialism -was first
started every hireling republican edi
tor in the land got down to work on
articles declaring that the program in
the Philippines was copied from the
- transactions of Jefferson in the pur-
chase of Louisiana. There never was
a more Infamous attempt to deceive
the people and the writers of these ar
ticles, with malice and aforethought
intended to deceive, when they wrote
them. Of late they have begun to re
viving these old lies. One Prof. Hart
points out in his "Foundations of
" American Policy" that our position
. toward the Philippines is just the
same as we held toward Louisiana,
v Florida and Texas, when they were
colonies, and alien colonies at that.
' If Prof. Hart ever read the two
treaties by which we acquired the
possession of Louisiana and the Phil
ippines he knew he was lying when
- he wrote his book. The position of
this government toward the inhabi
tants of the Philippines is set forth
. in the following words in article IX.
- of tho treaty of peace with Spain:
"The civil rights and political
l; status of the native inhabitants of the
territories hereby ceded to the United
States shall be determined by the con
gress." Here there is no guarantee what
ever as to what the civil rights and
political status of the Filipinos shall
be. It is left entirely to congress to
decide what they shall be. Congress
can and does rule the Philippines as a
colonial dependency, and it is ad
mitted that there is no notion of mak
ing the archipelago anything else so
long as it is under American rule.
Now let us see what Jefferson pro
vided in regard to the people of Lou
" isiana. That territory was purchased
from France In 1803, and the treaty by
which It was acquired, in its third ar
. tide, reads as follows:
"Article 3. The inhabitants of the
ceded territory shall be incorporated
In the union of the United States, and
admitted as soon as possible, accord
ing to the principles of the federal
constitution, to the enjoyment of all
the rights, advantages and immuni
ties of citizens of the United States:
and; in the meantime, they shall be
' maintained and protected in the free
" enjoyment of their liberty, property
and the religion which they profess."
- There Is nothing ambiguous about
this. It was guaranteed in the treaty
that the inhabitants of the ceded terri
tory should be "Incorporated in the
union of the. United States," and thdse
'who chose to accept citizenship in thy
United States acquired it when th
treaty was ratified.
- Again let us see what position this
' government assumed toward the in
habitants of Florida, when, in .1819,
that territory was acquired from
, Spain. The sixth article of the treaty
Vet ween this country and Spain, by
' which the latter ceded the territory,
reads as follows:
' "Article 6. The Inhabitants of the
" territories which his Catholic majesty
' cedes to the United States by this
treaty shall be Incorporated in the
union of the United States, as soon a
may be consistent with the principles
cr of the federal constitution, and ad
:.l mitted to the enjoyment of all the
privileges, rights and immunities of
the citizens of the United States."
Here again there is no uncertainty,
but a guarantee of citizenship in the
United States. The inhabitants of the
-ceded territory, we are told, "shall be
incorporated In the union of the Unit
ed States."
: While the treaty that Jefferson made
brought the Inhabitants under the con
stitution and gave them all the rights,
privileges and immunities of any oth
er citizens, the treaty with Spain
places the Filipinos absolutely at the
mercy of congress and the supreme
court has backed that up by rendering
a decision supporting it. Besides that.
, when the treaty was ratified, the sen
ate passed a resolution declaring that
the Filipinos never should become
citizens of the United States.
All these things are facts to be
found In the public records to which
any man can have access. When edi-
tors and professors make the asser
tion that the policy of the United
States toward the inhabitants of the
Philippines is the same a3 Jefferson
adopted in relation to Louisiana, they
simply lie.
It must be remembered that more
than one-half of the people of the
United States read nothing but what
these lying villains write and in con
sequence are in total ignorance of the
facts. That is why so many persons
are devoting their time to extending
the circulation of this paper. It is the
only way to get the facts before th
people. No doubt that nine-tenths of
the men who vote the republican ticket
honestly believe that the republicans
are pursuing the same policy that
Jefferson pursued.. You would believe
it, too, if you had had only the same
means of information that has been
furnished them. No more effective
work for reform can be done by any
man than getting the truth to the peo
ple through the columns of this and
other papers that publish it.
A Clairvoyant
The Nebraska Independent is quiet
ly trying to hush up the criticism
which is being hurled against ex
Treasurer Meserve by independent
populist and democratic papers. Th-3
Independent is on the wrong track.
No man is bigger than his party, and
no man should stand in the way if
purity and honesty in politics or gov
ernment. The men who have taken
advantage of their official positions to
enrich themselves, must not be al
lowed to stand in the way of political
reform. They should be swept aside
by an indignant and outraged public
and their places filled by men of a
finer grade of morals and higher ideas
of right and wrongs W. F. Cramb, in
Jefferson County Journal.
Brother Cramb seems to have aban-:
doned the materialistic science o
osteopathy for the spiritualistic one
of clairvoyance and he is no more
successful than the average mind
reader. The Independent has had its
say on the Meserve matter and sees no
reason why it should use its space now
reiterating what it said before. Noth
ing new has developed in the cast;.
There is no more reason why The In
dependent should discuss the Meserve
matter every week than thn Ham
mond of the Jefferson County News
should keep harping upon the time
Brother Cramb shoved his hand so
deep down into the county's pocket for
a thousand or so of measly letter
heads.
Aside from the opening sentence,
which is untrue, Brother Cramb has
stated some truths in a delightfully
epigrammatic way. Yet the applica
tion of these truths is not wholly
clear. Mr. Meserve is not claiming to
be bigger than his party and is not
standing in the way of his party. He
met the criminal charges squarely on
the issue of law and was acquitted
As to his moral right to accept inter
est as charged against him, that haa
been pretty thoroughly thrashed out
by the newspapers, with the usual re
sult in such cases each holds to the
same opinion still.
However, when it comes to "an in
dignant and outraged public" sween
ing aside "the men who have taken
advantage of their official positions to
enrich themselves" and filling their
places "by men of a finer grade of
morals and higher ideas of right and
wrong," The Independent believes in
being as consistent as possible and
suggests that he who Is without shi
should cast the first stone. In this
matter of fact, workaday world of
ours, when a business man or public
official does the things the law re
quires him to do, according to the best
of his ability, and refrains from do
ing the things the law prohibits him
from doing, it is all we can reason
ably expect him to do. Even those
men "of a finer grade of morals" us
ually drive as hard bargains as any
body else and suffer no pangs of con
science because they appropriate some
thing they did not earn.
The Independent believes that the
law regarding public treasurers should
be so amended that the treasurer
would be held accountable exactly as
any trustee is held, and not as an in
surer of the funds as the rule Is at
present. Then when the treasurer had
done his best, he would be released
from responsibility. Then in justice
and equity the state or county could
demand that any profit of whatever
nature accruing from handling the
funds should belong to the public
The inconsistency of many demo
cratic papers. upon this question Is well
illustrated. in the case of the clerk of
the supreme court. He is an officer
mentioned in the constitution. By a
recent decision of the supreme court
it is held that the words "whose salary
shall be fixed by "law, not to exceed
fifteen hundred dollars per annum,"
mean a constitutional appropriation
of that amount, regardless of whether
the legislature .goes, through the for
mality of appropriating any money
for that purpose. Now, It is well
known that under present conditions,
with twelve Judges grinding out cases,
his fees approximate $10,000 a year,
if not more, which he gets in addi
tion to his "constitutional salary."
Yet there is no outcry against him.
He hasn't been arrested and acquitted
of embezzlement. He converts the.se
fees to . his own use, although the
statute does not state that they are
for scch use (and the constitution
clearly indicates that they are not),
because the legislature has never seen
fit to enact a law providing that they
shall be turned into the state treasury.
It is not reasonable to believe that
the framers of the constitution ever
expected that the clerk of the supreme
court should receive greater emolu
ments than all three of the judges put
together, or as great even as one of
the judges. But nobody Is censuring
the clerk. Nobody is accusing him of
beins: bigger than his party or "stand
ing in the way of purity and honesty
in politics or, government." Nobody
is talking about sweeping him aside
by "an indignant and outraged pub
lic." He is simply doing what every
man who " is railing against Meserve
would do taking the fees until such
time as the legislature shall claim all
future fees as the state's property.
There isn't a man in the state, com
petent to fill the clerk's office, wlio
wouldn't do the same thing.
For over sixty years Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup has been used by
mothers for their children while teeth
ing. Are you disturbed at night "and
broken of your rest by a sick child
suffering and crying with pain of Cut
ting Teeth? If so send at once and
get a bottle of "Mrs. Winslow's Sooth
ing Syrup" for Children Teething. Us
value is incalculable. It will relieve
the poor little sufferer immediately.
Depend upon it, mothers, there is no
mistake about it. It cures diarrhoea,
regulates the stomach and bowels,
cures wind colic, softens the gums, re
duces inflammation, and gives tone
and energy to the whole system. "Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup" for chil
dren teething is pleasant to the taste
and is the prescription of one of the
oldest and best female physicians ard
nurses in the United States, and is for
sale by all druggists throughout tc
world. Price, 25 cents a bottle. Be
sure and ask for "Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup."
Survival of the Fittest
The attempt of J. J. Hill to get his
merger under the protection of Dar
win's theory of evolution was very
amusing. It is attracting sarcastic
comment from all men of sense every
where. The Springfield Republican
gives it more serious attention than
most of the others. In speaking of it
the Republican remarks:
"Mr. Hill probably does not quite
mean or does not quite know just what
he says. The idea has obtained consid
erable vogue of late among politicians
and others of a certain class that the
law of physical evolution obtains in
human society as well as in the nat
ural world. But this is not true.
There does not exist a civilized or
semi-civilized society on the face of
the earth today which is governed by
the principle of struggle and survival
of the fittest, and there never will ex
ist a society so governed. The sur
vival of the fittest, in the first place,
doe3 not necessarily mean the survival
of the best; it may mean the survival
of the worst from the standpoint of
reason and justice. And in the second
place, it is precisely for the purpose
of undoing the operation of the law of
struggle and survival that organized
societies exist among men and will
continue to exist. The state of Massa
chusetts expends nearly one-fifth of
its total public revenue in the care
of the defective classes who are sim
ply a drag upon material progress,
and the people who undertake to urge
that this is wrong and foolish, and
that we should leave the lame and
halt and blind to be trampeled under
foot as we rush along under the exclu
sive stimulus of greed and grab, will
find themselves a very lonely and un
infiuential company."
If railroad merging tended toward
the perpetuation of the species, then
Jim Hill ought to have about a thou
sand children. The fact probably is
that many of his section hands have
more children than he, or any of his
partners.

Gifts of Millions to tho 'Speculators and
Millionaires of Mew York City
Mr. John Moody, publisher of the
Manual of Corporation Securities, has
made an analysis of the value of the
franchise of the Consolidated Gas com
pany of New York city and there is
no man more capable of making such
an" analysis than he. : The "franchise
represents the combination of several
gifts of the same kind of which it has
obtained control. .Like all the big
trusts the stock . has been watered
three or four hundred per cent. He
shows how the people of New York
have made a gift to these parties of at
least $54,800,000. The following is part
of his statement: -
"xoday the market value of the
stock and bonds has increased in all
about $8,533,000, making the total
market value of all the securities in
volved something like $78,500,000, or
an increase c: $54,800,000 over tho
amount of money; which has actually
been put in the property. This $54,
800,000 logically represents nothing
else but the values of the franchises.
"Yet this franchise value, represent
ed by $54,800,000 v of securities out of
a total of $78,500,000 (about 70 per
cent) is certainly a , very valuable as
set. ' These franchises have cost the
company no cash, it is true. Neither
has the city received any cash for
them. Yet the company has ,in some
way realized $54,800,000 from them.
In other words the .company has prac
tically capitalized them at $54,800,000.
and is earning and paying interest and
liberal dividends on all these securi
ties. The credit of the company is
high and it could undoubtedly sell its
business and franchises today for fully
as much and possibly more than the
$78,500,000 at which it is financially
valued. -
"The speculator, and the speculator
only, benefits from this condition of
things. f
"In the long run, no one else ben
efits, not even the legitimate investor.
"The loss which the community sus
tains in this way is certain to react,
sooner or later, 6n every class of in
vestor; both the rich who invest their
surplus wealth, and the poor who in
vest their labor or their, brains. For,,
in the last analysis, the interests of
the "investor class," so-called, and
the working class are identical. I
cannot say this, however, of the pure
ly speculative, or gambler class, for
they could not possibly live in their
present power and glory were the in
terests of the rest of the community
in no way encroached upon."
These gifts of money and franchises
to the rich have- been going . on ever
since the war and now mount up into
the biilions. All the time sane men
have been protesting to no purpose
until at last wealth has been so con
centrated in few hands, that money
runs congresses courts and the whole
administration. Out here in Nebraska
as many millions have been bestowed
as free gifts upon the millionaires as
in any other part of the country. When
the republicans had enormous majori
ties in the state and the mullet heads
ran everything, a few men would get
together, form a corporation to build a
railroad, send.ouitheir agents into the
various counties through which the
road was to ruff and the people would
rush to the polls, vote enough money
to build the road and make a present
of it to the corporation. Then tne
promoters would put a mortgage on
the road to an "f amount greater than
the cost of its construction, and issue
bonds to that amount secured by the
mortgage. But the operation was not
yet finished. They would issue stock
and sell that as long as they could get
anybody to buy.-
All this money was given to them
by the people. Part of it was paid and
is being paid to this day in taxation.
Part of it was paid by the men who
bought stock and they never got their
money back, for the road after a little
while usually went into a receiver's
hands and when the courts and lawy
ers got through with it there was lit
tle or nothing left for the stockholders.
The men who held the bonds secured
by first mortgage of course were all
right.
The men who managed that sort of a
saternalia ran the government, con
trolled the courts and paraded them
selves before the public as wise men,
statesmen and great financiers. Ev
ery man who disagreed with such a
program was declared ,to be a wild
eyed lunatic. A great many readers
of The Independent remember all
about that madness and what we had
to suffer, because we would not join
the rabble and shout for the gold
brick crowd of sharpers.
Butcher of Samar
But yesterday who wore the blue
Held high his head with honest pride;
His sword Bwung gaily at his side,
His martial step was manly, true.
Today his head 'bows to his breast,
His sword Is as a' sword of lead,
His airy .step has ; lost its zest
And shame walks by with sullen tread.
He bleeds anew, each honored scar
With red lips cries, and cursing, cries,
"Let me not live unless he dies
That bully,, butcher of Samar."
The star-built flag of spotless fame.
The flag that never knew defeat,
Today is trailing in the street
And Europe mocks us in our shame.
From Maine to far Manila Bay
The nation bleeds and bows its head.
How tall we stood but yesterday
Sackcloth and ashes now instead;
Sackcloth and ashes, near and far.
Lest God shall smite us, hip and thigh.
Sackcloth and ashes, lest we die
For that brute, butcher of Samar!

Majority Rule
The National Nonpartisan Federa
tion, 38 Bliss building, Washington,
D. C., desires a good organizer tc
push the work for majority rule in
Nebraska, preferably the secretary of
the state federation of labor. Theru
is an opening here for the right man
to do a great work.
The Idea in brief is to secure a wrif
ten pledge from legislative candidates
that they will agree to adopt certain
rules of procedure in the passage of
bills which in effect will give the peo
ple an opportunity to vote on impor
tant laws, if they so desire, or initiate
them, without a constitutional amend
ment. ,
These rules, as applicable in Ne
braska, would be substantially as f ol
lows:
RULES FOR PROCEDURE FOR
HOUSE AND SENATE.
I. Optional Referendum.
' "After the second reading of each
bill a vote shall be taken, and If fav
orable to its passage, 30 days shall
elapse before it shall be presented to
the governor. If during these 30 days
3 per cent of the voters of the state
(to be calculated upon the basis of the
votes cast at the preceding general
election) shall file with the clerk of
the house (or senate, as the case may
be) a request that it be submitted to
the voters of the state for an expres
sion of opinion, it shall be put to a
referendum vote, and shall not be sub
mitted to the governor. The procedure
shall be that prescribed for a consti
tutional amendment; the majority of
the votes cast for and against the
proposition to decide the question.
"If a majority of the votes lawfully
cast for and against a bill shall favor
its passage, it shall be read a third
time, and the vote shall be determined
by yeas and nays. (The bill will
pass, for a majority of the members
of the house and senate will have
agreed to abide by the will of the
voters.) If the bill fails to receive
the approval of the voters it shall not
go to a third reading.
"Provided, however, that the fore
going provisions for ascertaining tho
will of the sovereign power shall not
apply to a bill immediately necessary
for the public peace, health, or safety,
if passed by a two-thirds vote; but
this shall apply only to the provisions
in a bill which pertain to the subjects
excepted. The following bills shall
not be classed as urgency measures:
(1) a bill that infringes on the prin
ciple of home rule for municipalities:
(2) a bill for a franchise or license to
a corporation or individual to extend
longer than one year; (3) a bill for
the sale or purchase of real estate.
"When thus enacted it places in the
voters of the state a veto power as to
every bill and resolution that passes
both houses, except urgency meas
ures. Of this there is no question.
II The Initiative.
"The following is the rule of pro
cedure for the initiative:
"Whenever a proposed bill concern
ing a subject upon which the house
(or senate) is authorized to legislate
shall be presented by 3 per cent of the
voters of the state (to be calculated
upon the basis of the vote cast at the
preceding general election), it shall
be received, given a number, referred
to a committee for consideration, re
ported back; and with such amend
ment, substitute or recommendation a.,
may be thought desirable. It shall
then be read a second time in the
house (or senate) and voted upon by
yeas and nays. The result shall be
referred to the voters of the state to
gether with the bill as originally pro
posed.
"Bills thus initiated shall be re
ported out of committee at least thir
ty days before the adjournment of the
legislature, and shall have precedence
over all other bills except appropria
tion bills and measures which are
necessary for the immediate preserva
tion of the public peace, health, or
safety.
"If a majority of the votes legally
cast favor a measure, then the bill
receiving the largest vote shall be
read in the house a third time and
voted upon by yeas and nays. (The
bill will pass, for a majority of the
members in the house and senate will
have agreed to abide by the will of
the voters.) The bill or bills that fail
to receive the approval of the voters
shall not go to a third reading."
The legislature has the power to or
der that the vote be taken and to pay
for it. There is no clause in the con
stitution that prohibits it, and it has
supreme power in state affairs except
as expressly prohibited.
The business of the federation is to
secure signatures to a voters' agree
ment, whereby each agrees to work in
his own party for the nomination of
men for the legislature who will
pledge themselves to work for the
adoption of the rule of procedure out
lined above. And each voter agrees
that he will not vote for his own
party nominee unless such a pledge
be given. The idea is unique and
worth looking into. In Nebraska it
would mean a special election during
the legislative session. If the people
should ask for it.
