Tired of Colonialism and Trustism.
Boston Host.
According to all historical prece
dent, the elections this fall should
return a House of Representatives
hostile to the administration! If
we look a little further ahead, we
shall see that. according to prece
dent the “accidental” occupant of
the White House must fail of re-
election, even if he succeeds in cap
turing the nomination of his party.
But that is some distance in the fu
ture, even if it does seem pretty
close at hand to Hr. Roosevelt; and
what we are concerned with just u ow
is the political color of the new con
gress to be chosen in November
next. We look for a change in this
respect, not only because experience
shows that a change usually oomes
in the middle of an administration,
but because everything tends and
has been tending for a long time to
ward a great popular revolt against
the domestic and colonial policies of
the present regime. The people
have gone'as far as they want to go
along the lines of imperialism; too
far, in faot, for either their con
sciences or their purses. And as for
industry and the profits of industry,
the people are waking up to the
need of a curb upon the favoritism
of the trusts.
The popular view of the rela
tion of the blood to human char
acter and conduct is marked in
many a familiar expression. We
speak of there being “bad blood”
between pe'ople at enmity, of
“blueblood” as indicating ances
try, of “black blood” as describ
ing a treacherous nature, and in
many another phrase mark our
belief that in the mental, moral
and physical man, “the blood is
the life.” The one basis of
healthful, happy and useful life
is pure blood. With the blood
pure, disease has no permanent
lodging place in the system. For
this reason the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery * rids
the body of diseases wlii’ch have
their origin in impurity of the
blood. It absolutely purifies the
blood, carrying off the waste and
poisonous matter, increasing the
action of the blood making glands
and building up the body by sup
plying the blood in quantity and
quality such as is essential to a
condition of health. It cures
ninety-eight people out of every
hundred who give it a fair trial.

* ‘Let US organize our forces and
work for the uplifting and ad
vancement of .our children, Since
the laws under which we are com
pelled to work are hopelessly in
adequate for removing the curse
ignorance let us have them
changed so that the Empire State
of the South may be lifted from
the low rank educationally she
has had for years in the sister
hood of the states on account of
the illiteracy of so many of her
people. She has made improve
ment—third from the bottom of
list some years ago —she now holds
the fifth place, but with forty-
five or more above her there is
much work ahead. If the consti
tution of the state is at fault and
stands in the way, blocking edu
cational progress, surely the legis
lature will provide a remedy for
the situation. I do not believe
we can ever go much further in the
way of direct state appropriation
nor does it seem to be thp wisest
plan. Let the law be changed so
as to encourage by every possible
meaos the counties to meet the
state half way. If the vote upon
on school extension could be fair
ly and squarely upon the
question at issue, without any
such provision as requiring two-
thirds of the registered voters, it
would mean much for this cause
In his last annual message the
governor made a recommenda
tion that no county should receive
any part of the state appropria
tion until it should have raised at
least 40 per cent of the amount
to which under the present law it
is entitled. It seems to me that
it would be better to modify the
ironclad restrictions in the way of
local taxation, make it less diffi.
cult for the counties to secure this
blessing and thus induce rather
than threaten in order to gain the
end desiredj But it matters littl
as to methods; the duty that fac
es us is to provide at least nice
months’ schooling every year for
our children,
“Of course we must go back to
the power that creates the legisla
tire. If we fail to realize the
responsibility and to do all we
can toward making the people see
the necessity for increased school
facilities we are not doing our du
ty. The great majority of our
fellow-citizens in the rural dis
tricts would like to do as they did
before the war and it is difficult
to make them see that the busy
world has moved on—that the
most prosperous states, toivns,
cities and in many instances,
counties—look with a feeling of
half pity and half contempt upon
the community that is satisfied
with an ungraded, unfurnished
school for four or five months in
every year. The southern educa
tional board publish figures show
ing the progress in the United
States during the last hundred
years. In 1800 there was an aver-
erage of eighty-two days for each
person; in 1860 480 diiys ; in 1900
998 days. If we separate the
eleven southern states from their
sisters their average for 1900 is
438 days. Thus we see that in

There can be no doubt about
the genuineness of the anti-im- i
peralism of Mr. Andrew Carnegie..
It has been known ali along ' of
course that lie was very much op
posed to the policy adopted by
the government in regard to the
Philippines, but until a few days
ago it was not known iai lie of

for by the treaty with. Spain if he
were permitted to say- -to the Phil-
ipinos that it was our ^purpose, to
establish a government for them
on a stable basis and then give
them their independence.
According to a conversation
with Mr. George F. Seward, presi
dent of the Fidelity and Casualty
Company of New York, had with
Mr. Carnegie, the latter called on
President McKinley- before the
treaty of Paris was ratified, and
told him that he felt that a great

ing the Phillippine islands as a
permanent possession. He said to
Mil McKinley that he believed
that policy would be had for this
country and bad for the Filipinos,
and that soon after the ratifioa
tion of the treaty our people and
the Filipinos would be at war with
each other. So deeply did he feel
about the matter that, for the
privilege of being sen ib as a com
missioner to the IPhillippiiies,
with authority to say to the little
brown men that th© Americans
meant them only goeol, and would
soon recognize their independ
ence, he would pay out of his
own pocket the $20,000,000 to 1
Spain for which the treaty of Par
is provided; and it seems that Mr.
Carnegie is still willing to pay
that sum for the independence of
the Filipinos.
No doubt President McKinley
was impressed by Mr. Carnegie’s
earnestness, but he cLid not think
Mr. Carnegie understood the ques
tion at issue, and hence did not
give his offer favorable considera,-
tion. Mr. Carnegie saw then that
the permanent possession of the
Phillippines would be dangerous
to our institution and. harmful to
Filipinos. Ho took- no stock in
President McKinley’s theory of
“benevolent assimilation.” The
war that ho feared came, and it is
not ended yet. . The evils of our
institution from the possession
of the islands have not become
apparent, but there is 110 good rea
son to doubt that they will make
their appearance.
It is not too late to ohange our
policy. The Democrats of the
Senate are doing wlnat they can
to have it changed. The Demo
crats of the House did what they
could when the Phillippine bill
was before that body - Indeed the
entire Democratic party is against
the Phillippine policy of the Re
publican party. Mr. Carnegie is
a Republican, but be is not with
his party in its policy for dealing
with the Phillippines. He stands
with Senator Hoar on that ques
tion, and many other eminent
Republicans. The Republican
Press Is trying t(i*make it appear
that the Democrats in Congress
are simply seeking to make, capi
tal for the Congressional elections,
but such is not the case. The
Democrats are doing what they
believe is for the be3t interests of
the country and time will show
