Mr. Daniels enid every veteran of the Spanish-American War might truly say that the war be gan and ended so far as the vol unteers were concerned for hu manity and to allow America s nearest neighbors the right to live free from molestation and Injury. "No part of the subsequent im perlallatlc policy Inaugurated at Paris and that is carried on In the Philippines can be laid at y?u* door." he eald. "It was oonceived by those who cloaked their de sire to exploit the Filipinos under the pious phrase of "benevolent assimilation" and le.carrled on to day In Beflance of the aplrlt of the antl-lmperlallsts of this day." Mr. Daniels said some ministers had voiced the sentiment that they would never bless another war and "if they had stated they would never bless a war begup for power or greed or Imperialism. j| I the whole country, or mist of It. ? would have approved the declare- ? tlon. . . t I "There Is no crime comparable! to most of the wars that havei cursed manklhd.

MeKlnley and Wilson as an Im-, Atrial trio of chief executives who exhausted every possible resources before advising war. "They lone stood for a peaceful solution when many, perhaps/ moat of the people were demand ing war. It took courage for MrKlnley to ateam the tide Im-j mediately after the sinking of the Maine. It took like courage In Wilson to stem the tide when the Lusltsnla was sunk. Result* proved both were right In trying to find some other way. In 1A98 | Spain would not allow "any other. , in 1917 the imperial German gov ernment did likewise. "The entry by the United States lato the war was required by the simplest dictates of humsnlty. We did not go to war becsuse the Maine was sunk, we did not go to war becaus > the Lusltanla wae torpedoed.

Mr. Daniel* added "If you read la a paper that a brute of a man lusand miles away is en | In cruelly beating his wife, jre Ind'gnant that aa?h bru ' tallty continues amonx people who h?ve supposedly pained the day* of savagery. But yon do not buy a ticket anil travel a thousand mlle? to (pake the brute behave himself.
