SHALL WE KEEP THEM'.’
Does our long ad beared to prin
ciples as embodied in the Monroe
doctrine interfere with our acquiring
any new territory either by conquer
ing. purchasing, or voluntary Joining
our union if the territory so acquiree
does not lay between the shores ol
two oceans, seems to be a questiot
of considerable im|>orl at the presen
time, owing to the fact that there ii
within our citizenship those who he
lieveweean not safely annex out-lying
territory. As far as the Monroi
doctrine is concerned the annexing
of the Philippines or any other Pa
eifle ocean islands does not seem to
cut any figure. That doctrine lays
down the plain facts to Kuropc that
we woald consider it an unfriendly
act toward the United States for them
to acquire any more territory in this
Hemisphere. Why? Because their
forms of government was antagonis
tic to ours, and that a monarchy and
a Republic would not be peaceable
neighbors. Their policy was to take
ail the territory they could and op
press with taxation the inhabitants
thereof, and give them no represen
tation in their law-making bodies al
though the laws made was to govern
the very people that were not allow
ed to have a voice in their making.
Our principles was that the govern
or any land should receive its power
from the people governed, There
fore we viewed with alarm the en
croachments of foreign monarchs
upon the smaller republics of the
western world, and the Monroe doct
rine was the ligitimatc outcome.
D..& !a._ . • i . .
iv muob uc ruuieiuuereu uiiu
there was no interference contem
plated where foreign countries had,
and were maintaining a government
over territory in America. Neither
was it contemplated to interfere
where one of those countries would
go to war with another and by force
of arms wrest one of those Ameri
can depeodedcies from her, but they
should not lie allowed to conquer
and hold any territory governed by
the natives of the soil, nor would we
acquire any soil in their part of the
globe to menace their peace. But
when we take from Spain the Phil
ippines, we are only extending the
Monroe doctrine to a jioor weax peo
ple that have long ask us for aid, aud
to maiutaiu those people who have
aa good right to life liberty aud con
sequent bappiueus a* any other peo
ple. Wemualgite them a govern
lueut, and educate them in the way
ot administering it, aud also protec t
them agaiuat the averaciou* incur
atom* uf Ilium- gu* vrumenta that care
nothing for human rights
I hat the Philippines are lust to
iipnin. there la no queettue, with our
withdrawal Herman*, or mar other
Kurupeaa ealtua will team get them
they are more contiguous to u* than
to them, the deal re of the Phils

Amertee. the* dived the airtsUs re* *
at Europe, they have felt iu gaoling
chain* too Umg sailor A mein* to
abandon them, after delivering them
from European thraldom would be
au act of cowardice on our part and
one that we cannot afford to be guilt}
of.
But a few months a go Germany,
made a sortie on Ciao Cbua, bay and
compelled China, to give up consider
able soil simply because she was not
physically able to defend it against
German aggression. Her next step
will be the subjugation of the Phil
ippines. Our commercial interests
are as dear to ns as theirs is to'them
and just as necessary to our wellfare
in the future. There is no justify
ing vandalism and if it is a game of
grab and keep the United States
must be up and doing or in a short
time she will find herself left out in
the cold. It does not justify the
United States to steal provinces
because other countries are doiug It,
but we are justified in protecting the
future commercial interests of our
countiy if it is threatened by the
conciousless cussedness of Europe.
The only true principle for us under
existing circumstances is to see that
Old Glory lloats ovor those islands
now and forever.
With John Bull at Hong Kong,
Uncle Sam at Manila, and Japan
for a neighbor, no other country will
dare interfere.
TIIK ISLANDS WK KKAD AJIOIIT
The Islands of Cuba, I’orto Rico
and the Philippines, each are located
near enough the equator to make
them all tropical countries nod their
fertility is so great that very little
work is necessary to produce an
abundant crop of tropical fruits and
vegntablcs. The palm trees that
grows there are said to be capable
of furnishing food, water fuel and
shelter for tha natives. The fruit
of the palm is said to be very pnli*
table and healthy. The pith of the
heart furnishes water for mun or
beasts when squeased out and it is
claimed that cattle in some parts of
Cubu, get no other water during the
dry season. The leaves which grow
in a bunch close to the top will reach
the great length of six feet and can
be doubled in the shape of u kittle,
and us long as water is kept in them
they will not burn but serve to cook
the food for the natives in. Then
they are used for Tarpaulins in the
rainy season to cover goods, and
also for covering the frame work of
a shack. Thereby protecting the
natives from the raise of the sun or
the downpour of rain. They are
also used for hats and the tree itself
is very good for lumber. It has no
bark and is very hard on the ouiside,
growing softer towards the heart,
and is so easily sq'it that boards can
be split from it to lay doors or side a
house.
Very little work is necessary for
an existence for the man who wants
nothing more than a living, and in
dustry and intelligence are always
richly rewarded. Some of the an
imals in the United States who are
indigenious to the O/.arks and Alle
ghanies, and who never do more
than to hunt and fish for a living
would find these Islands a veritable
paridise.
Should Uncle Sam hold those
Islands as he shauld do, or even es
tabliBb a protectorate over them so
that life and property are safe and
the same advantages lie granted
them us in the United States, Yankee
ingenuity will make them (doom as
the rose, anil fifty years will settle
all question of ownership, us the
Yankee will absorb the Malay and
Spaniard, and a distinct Anglo-Amer
ican race that only acknowledges
allegiance to freedom, thought and
press will inhabit those gardens i f
the world.
Asa sample we cau draw oui con
clusions from llawaiia. The world
wauts liberty, tin* oppressed wauls
help, and can only receive it from llie
humanitarian, therefore they usktd
to be saved from the ty rant, civil wed
