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 plwue te fur n * lower adUlwinm with 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.
