A United States Senator, one high in the counsels of h i s party, says: "If it pays, if it can be shown that it will pay financially, if the people can see that there is money in it, they w 'II indorse the war to the complete subjugation of the Filipinos." The writer be lieVes this to be a deliberate libel upon the Americun peo-- pie, and it ought to be crimi nal to so libel the people. It surely has not come to pass that the brave, patriot ic people of thcsUnited States have sunk so low in the scale of humanity as to hecorae a horde of thieved and highwuy robbers? This they must be if the statement quoted a- bove is correct. In no way does a war for conquest or financial gain differ morally from the mode of the hich way robber who commands his victim to stand and de liver. The former is the more reprehensible from the fac that the innocent is made to face the dangers and bear the hardships in a war for con quest, while thehighway rob ber faces the danger and shows his willingness to do the suffering, if it" be meetei to any one. The would-be ty rant, the one who directs the war for gain, is always care ful to keep where harm never comes. The innocent must suffer privations, hardships, sickness and death for glory and gain, which is invaria bly appropriated by others. we cannot oeueve tnis is true of the American people, and yet candor compels me to state that the only two men I have heard speak fa vorably of the war, did soon the financial grounds, one of wnom said: "there is bi g money in it." Our President also on his stumping tour lately, boasted of the com mercial advantage to be de- I m nvea irom tne possession oi the Philippines. If the late elections c a mean anything, they certain ly cannot mean that the peo pie indorse the war, for in every state where the wa policy of the President was made an issue, the adininis tration lost votes, and this must of necessity be so, for the brave and chivalrous peo pie of this free government will never indorse the bully ing, plugugly system inaugu rated by this unamencan,un christian horde of money grabbing millionaires.
