Ironton (Mo.) Register: A censor
snip of tho press goes hand in nana
with imperialism. Neither is com
patible with a free government.
Madison (Neb.) Mail: The presi
dent's policy of killing the trusts by
publicity is based on tho thought that
moonlight prevents burglary.
Taylor (Tex.) Journal: Senator
Bailey is in favor of electing United
States senators by direct vote. So are
we, It is the best policy and then
the people can elect whom they want.
Rochester (Minn.) Democrat: The
steel trust is selling rails in England
at $11 per ton less than tho American
price, and yet the republican bosses
threaten to squelch Babcock if he
don't let up on his tariff reform agita
tion. Memphis (Tenn.) Press: Napoleon
is credited with saying that the Lord
always fought on the side that had
the best served artillery. Only on
this theory can the assumption bo sus
tained that "Providence put us in
possession of tho Philippines."
Memphis (Tenn.) Timest The crisis
in Philippine affairs at Washington at
the present time makes it appear that
the "policy of benevolent assimilation"
which changed to voracious devour
ing, has got to the stage of chronic in
digestion. Massena (N. Y.) Forum: If the
democratic party has to appeal to the
masses of tho people it must be hon
est with them and It cannot be honest
with them if it mortgages itself to cor
porations which are violating existing
laws needed for the protection of tho
public. . .
Dunshore (Pa.) Gazette: There Is
a perceptible weakening all along the
lines of republican opinion touching a
high tariff. Hardly anywhere Is it re
garded as a necessity and many con
scientious party men see wherein it is
hurtful. It doesn't look as if protec
tion can be made, to win another presi
dential campaign.
Heher (Ark.) Review: Governor
Taft says that it is useless for tho
Filipinos to continue their hopeless
warfare. It seems that we havo read
something that has that peculiar ring
sometimo in our boyhood days and if
we are not mistaken the Incident hap
pened along about the time that Wash
ington was in winter quarters at Val
ley Forge, but it wasn't an American
that made the remark.
Ceresco (Neb.) Plaindcaler: The
antipathy of tho gold democrats for
V- 3 populists may be accounted for in
the fact that the populists voted the
democratic ticket in 1896 and in 1900
while the gold democrats gonerally
voted the republican ticket. Had th
populists voted the republican ticket
the gold democrats would cneenuny
fuse with them.
Chicago Public: If Hill spoke for
the democracy of the middle states at
the plutocratic love feast of the Man
hattan club, so much the worse for tho
democracy of that region. It was
Wood's voice that spoke for the demo
cratic masses of the west, and we be
lieve that his sentiments find a wel
come echo in the hearts of the truly
democratic masses of tho east.
Wayne (Neb.) Democrat: The con
sistency of the average republican is
neatly shown up in Iowa. When Shaw
was governor he was lauded to the
skies as a wonderful man, and Shaw
defended the trusts and said they
were a good thing. Now that Cum
mins is governor he is just as remark
able and Infallible a man, and Cum
mins strongly condemns the trusts
and corporations.
Marion (0.) Mirror: The more wo
read about the Philippine situation and
what is being done there the more dis
gusting the whole thing becomes. The
history of our acquisition of these isl
ands and the war of subjugation that
this government Is waging against
theso people, will mako a chapter in
our history from which every man
who loves tho good name of his coun
try will turn in disgust and horror.
West Union (O.) Defender: Undo
Sam is to pay tho expenses of Princo
Henry's visit while tho princo is tho
guest of tho United States, and also
tho expenses of tho special embassy
to tho coronation of King Edward.
European nobility will soon ho con
vinced that Uncle Sam is "an easy
mark" Binco ho "pays tho freight"
both ways for the exquisite pleasure
of dancing attendance to royalty.
Anoka (Minn.) Free Press: A Wis
consin man named Charles Fetlorhoff
recently fasted forty-two days and
camo out all the better for his experi
ment When fasts of forty-two days'
duration which means eight or nine
meals per year become common, it is
going to bo easier to get along in this
world. It will then become next to
impossible for republican-made trusts
to buy people's bodies and souls with
bread, or starve them to death.
Lincoln (Neb.) Independent: The
United States has more flour than tho
people can use and less sugar than tho
people want. The Cubans hayo more
sugar than they can uso and not
enough flour to feed their families.
Remedy: Put up a tariff wall to pre
vent our people from swapping flour
for sugar and the Cubans from trad
ing sugar for flour. That is the fun
damental principle of the political
economy of all protectionism.
Mankato (Kas.) Advocate: Is thero
anything significant in the fact that
congress will allow tho light to die
out In tho torch which tho statue of
liberty holds "aloft in the harbor at
Now York? Wo are sending special
envoys to Europe to witness the coro
nation of a king; wo are making a
big fuss and a big appropriation to
entertain a prince from Prussia, but
the liberty sentiment is not strong
enough to keep the light burning, in
tho torch of the goddeBS of liberty."
Shelbina (Mo.) Democrat: Governor
Taft, after beating around and dodg
ing the direct answer as to what
should be done with the Philippines,
finally when pressed said the United
States should hold the islands indefi
nitely, giving to the Filipinos a quabi
independence when they are consid
ered lit. That is imperialism, plain
and simple. That puts seven "million
people at our mercy, to be governed
just as we see fit. They are subject
absolutely to our will, and they have
no Toico In the matter whatever.
Oslcaloosa (la.) Times: .We are in
receipt of an appeal from the Ameri
can board of missions of Western In
dia. It asks for contributions to feed
the starving poor of India. The cause
is a humanitarian one, but if the Brit
ish government would devote to that
cause the millions that it is wasting
In an inhuman war in South Africa
Americans would be more willing to
devote their spare funds to the cause.
Stoutsville (Mo.) Banner: The man
who really thinks that there is a sin
gle European nation that would not
down this country if the opportunity
offered is" in need of a new "thinkery."
