CLASH ON PHILIPPINES
C II. AMES, OF BOSTON, DEBATES
QUESTION "WITH ANTIS.
lie DocInrcK American Government
In IkIuimIm In n Succcnh and
Arouses Tliclr Ire.
Mr. Charlr? H. Ames, of Boston, who
"wont to the Philippine? last Summer after
c.imbtmr Mount Hood with the Mazaxnas,
and complctlnc; his business with the Ore
gon State Text-Book Commission, as rep
resentative of the D. C. Heath Company,
Is vigorously defending hlfi views on the
Philippine question. Mr. Ames has startled
the- anti-imperialistic stronghold by sup
ji -ning the policy of the Administration.
ati.l has naturally leen attacked by the
irtis of Boston. At a recent meeting of
th- Twentieth Century Club a rather
Hm' diiKrust-ion was brought out by his
ta k on the Philippines.
Mr Ames told in a most Interesting style
tVt chief incidents of his trip, as well as
of intercourse with the natives, with
2im he had many interviews.
There are In the group." said he. ac
c .r.i ng to the Boston Herald,' "1200 or
r-. re islands. Inhabited by S.000.OW human
Ixlngs, representing SO different races,
sp .iking 30 distinct languages.
"The climate is far less trying than I
hid supposed, and the health of our sol
ckrs is wonderfully good. The oduca-t.--n.l
provisions under Spanish rule
wire almost worthless, though it left tho
riliplno nominally a Christian and fa
vorable to the idea of education.
"Spanish is spoken outside the great
cities by not more than S to 5 per cent
of the natives. The American plan is to
treat the native as if his possibilities
were as great as those of any other
race. Our plan la to found higher
s. hools and colleges as wnn as they arc
seen to be necessary. The natives arc
wry imitative, arid easily acquire such
arts as drawing, modeling in clay, carv
ing in wood, manual work, even though
their power of thought and rellection is
not eon&iderable,
"The natives respond sufficiently to
the plans made for them to hold out the
prospect that the American experiment
will be successfully carried out."
Here Mr. Ames replied to some of tho
misstatements which had been made con
cerning the K-jO teachers who were sent to
the Philippines, asserting that every pos
sible preparation had been made for their
reception. Alluding to the report that the
teachers got married on the way. he
eaid that there was- "only one engagement
that we arc reasonably sure of."
The cost of the undertaking, he said,
was met out of the insular treasury. In
which there still remained a sum of some
thing like H.O-m.vW. The number of child
ren enrolled under the system was now
135.005.
As to the teachers, the speaker had
eeen quite a number of them at their
destinations and in the performance of
their duty, and could say that they were
enjoying; their work and doing it faith
fully. Mr. Ames spoke in praise of the Taft
commission, and gave a brief account
of what it had thus far accomplished,
stating, among other things, that ithad
extended civil government over a larger
area than even the insurgents had
thought wise.
The assertion made that American of
ficials were enriching themselves In the
Philippines in order to live luxuriously
at home, was false, and must be ma
liciously false. The civil service of the
new administration was pronounced as
pure as that to be found anywhere.
So far as the American soldier Is con
cerned, the speaker had come away
from the Philippines with a new adml
r.aln for him. On the subject of the
re '"oncentrado camps, Mr. Ames cited
the evidence of a well-known war cor
respondent as effectively doing away
With tlie notion that we were imitating
Genf-ral Weyk-r in the Philippines. Hh
mci.noned the terrorism bandits exer
cled over whole villages in order to
h'H that these people were not patriots
struggling for Independence. He would
be gld to hear that one of them known
to h:m had been hanged.
"The Filipinos," he went on to say.
"need above all things a government
which shall be an object lesson to them
for some years yet to come. Then we
shall know the true feeling of the Fili
pinos. As a rule they do not wish for us.
They would vote for us to tro. If they
could vote. But their feeling toward us
today is nothing on which to go. We
shall get their true feeling Inter.
"We could not give up the Philippines
without showing unspeakable cowardice
and insincerity- No one who has any re
gard for the honor of America or for tho
welfare of the Filipinos would consider
such a thing. It would cover the name
of America with shame before the world.
It would produce anarchy. Consider the
reprisals that would tako place were
American rule removed. Four people were
actually buried alive for having simply
taken service, under tho Americans.
"This 1 a great National trust, and it
must be administered without falter
ing. Even though it be contrary to tra
dition. I believe it to be absolutely neces
sary that our country should take the Ini
tiative, throwing tradition overboard when
necessary. Tho country must act as a
wholo on this question. AVe must admin
ister the Philippines as a National trust.
of which Jhe. world and high history and
God illl demand n. good account,"
The Bev. Dr. Dole, the chairman,
opened the discussion. He urged that
Justice in such cases meant an attitude
or spirit of friendliness quite free from
arrogance or self-seeking. If this had
been shown in the Philippines, there
would not have been any war at aH.
In answer to a question, Mr. Ames
said that a promise of independence
would have encouraged tho Filipinos
to demand a date for jt,
Mr. Frank B. Sanfcorn then said: "1
for one think there is but one guidebook
of the duties of the American people in
matters national and international. It
has two chapters. The first is the Dec
laration of Independence, recognized as
part of our system of government; the
second is tho constitution of tho United
States.
"I should like to have any lawyer or
officer to say how, under those two
chapters, we have any duties toward
those islands except to leave them. This
republic was called into existence not
to conquer foreign nations, but to gov
ern this continent, and when we step
out of the limits of our origin and at
tempt to speak of duties toward the peo
ple In China or the people in the Philip
pine islands or elsewhere, we are sim
ply leaing our charter the charter of
our national existence and embarking
on a wide pea. where the only guide for
the lime being Is the will of the person
who for the time beiug governs this
country: and It was the will of that
person, which placed us In this unfortu
nate position In the Philippine islands,
and it is the will of his successor
which. In my opinion, will relievo us
from that position.
"What we did was contrary to our de
clared purpose as a nation, and to
every feature of our foreign policy; It
was a blunder; it was a crime. It has
been followed by the uual consequences
of blunders and of crimes. It has drawn
In as apologists some of the best citi
zens of this country. Who is there that
does not understand that a blunder pun
ishes itself, and that a crime is al
ways punished by the Ruler of this
universe, whose justice returns to the
offender exactly his offense? Whenever
hi excuses Injustice. Injustice falls upon
him that Is. the divine justice.
"I am delighted to hear of this educa
tional progress, but every step in our
attempt to civilize will be neutralized
by the falsity of our position there as
a nation. Barbarities have been men
tioned. "Why, the highest incentive to
barbarity is the Invasion of their coun-1
try by a foreigner.
"The invader Invades at his own risk.
He has no business there. The people
have a right to expel him In any man
ner they choose, and they are not care
ful in the measures they take. The in
vader is not there in fulfillment of a
divine missisn, or because national duty
requires it, b'st because lust of conquest
has been implanted in the human race.
"I am, therefore, glad that the Fili
pino has resisted. We fought in our
revolution against the foreign con
queror. The Filipinos are fighting and
will light against the foreign conqueror.
I am glad they are doing fo."
There was loud applause as the speak
er resumed his seat. Then Mr. Edward
Atkinson added a few sentences, saying:
"It Is the duty of the anti-imperialists to
support the President and others in
getting rid of what he has pronounced
to be a burden at the earliest posslblo
date."
The Rev. Charles G. Ames directed
attention to the fact that the accounts
of cruelties practiced upon the Filipinos
came from our own soldiers and ofllcers.
"I have 10 letters." said he, "from sol
diers testifying that they have been
ordered not to take prisoners that is, to
shoot those who surrender. The state
ment that the Inhabitants are substan
tially In hostility to us will have to be

taken In balance of the other statements
from the President of the United
States and the president of the Filipino
commission to the effect that we are
making friends there very fast."
Mr. Charles H. Ames said he had been
most concerned In his talk to defend the
Army, which had been traduced "from
top "to bottom." He regretted the cruel
tics as much as any man could; though,
if the right of making war were ad
mitted, the cruelties went with It. He
mentioned a case where the continued
cutting of a telegraph wire made it
necessary to shoot all who went within
half a mile of It, preliminary announce
ment having been made of what It was
Intended to do.
Mr. Sanborn cited a case where two
prisoners were shot by the men of a
certain Captain Metcalf. of Kansas; at
the Investigation- It was pleaded for him
that he kiew nothing about It. What,
moreover, of the enormous proportions
of the killed to the wounded In the Phil
ippines? Mr. Ames showed that this had been
satisfactorily explained. It being due to
the determined resistance offered by the
Filipinos.
Mr. Sanborn It makes them danger

Mr. Ames And it makes more credit
for the men who have done it and se
cured the peace that now exists in the
islands.
A member of the club here said: "It
has been said that our officers ranged
Filipino prisoners along a bridge and
let them fall Into the stream below and
drift down."
Mr. Ames Where did that take place?
Answer was made to the effect that
an Army officer was responsible.
The Rv. Dr. Blakesley reminded the
members that many such cruelties were
committed during the war for trie

war was wrong.
The Railway Mail Clerk' Appeal.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Congress should give fair consideration
to the pending bill for reclassifying the
clerks of the railway mall service. This
measure, which is strongly supported In
the reports sent out by General Superln
terdent White and Second Assistant Postmaster-General
Shallenberger, provides
for a thorough reorganization of the serv
ice on a system which will gradually in
crease the pay of employes by a regular
process of advancement, based on senior
ity and records showing faithful work.
Although Congress has already granted
an increase of pay to the men filling the
higher grades, it is urged that nothing
has been done for the rank and file of the
railway postal clerks, .and tho assertion
is made that these workers, who are far
more numerous than all the others, are In
sufficiently compensated for labors which
are not only exacting and arduous, but
which Involve a distinct element of per
sonal risk, as the large number of casual
ties among railway clerks In the past few
years show. It is also pointed out that
these Federal employes are compelled "by
the r.ature of their duties to spend much
of their time at some distance from their
homes, thus obliging them, to pay out a

considerable portion of their salaries for
board and lodging.
The railroad mail service has been
brought lip to a lilgh degree of efficiency,
and the percentage of mistakes in hand
ling letters In transit has been reduced to'
a gratlfyingly low figure. The men who
are responsible ,f or this result arc entitled
to a full hearing at Washington; and if
investigation of their claims proves that
their request for an advance in pay is
justified, there should be no hesitation In
enacting the legislation required for this
pnrposc.
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
ItEPOBT ON MONOPOLIES
TRADE COMBINATIONS.
AND
Sweeping Recommendation for
Overcoming These AVrongs
and Evils.
Washington. The final report to Con
gress of the McKlnley Industrial Commis
sion makes sweeping recommendations re
garding the control of the great combina
tions of capital known as trusts, and
burled In the middle of the volume of a
thousand pages is a sensational statement
In a minority report irom ex-Congressman
ThomaH W. Phillips, a Republican,
of Newcastle. Pa. The majority report
makes these recommendations:
That the United States District Attorneys be
authorized to Institute proceedings for violation
of the anti-trust laws.
That trusts and combinations in restraint of
trade, "which by the concensus of official
THE LATE B. F. BROWN.
opinion are unlawful." should be so declared
by legislation uniform In all statra.
That stringent laws be -nacted by Confess
and the State legislatures making ienal and
criminal the discrimination between custom
ers and the cutting of rates in certain locali
ties to dfSKrt3- local competition, and that these
law? gl-e to the damaged person the right to
sue for and recover prccrlbed penalties.
That to prevent overcapitalization ntnte Leg
islature enact laws similar to the antl-stock-vatcring
laws of Massachusetts.
The commission recommends a plan to
carry Into effect Prcs'dent Roosevelt's
suggestion of publicity for corporations.
This If dual in its character. First, an
annual franchise tax Is to be imposed by
the Federal Government upon all state
corporations engaged In Interstate com
merce, calculated upon the gross enrnlngs
of each corporation from Its interstate
business. The minimum rate of such "tax
is to be low. but the rate is gradually to
Incre-axe with the earnings. Then there
is suggested the crentlon in the Treasury
Department of a permanent bureau, the
duties of which will be to register all
state corporations engaged In interstate
or foreign commerce; to secure from such
corporations all reports needed to enable
the Government to levy a franchise tnx
with certainty and justice, and to collect
the same; to make such Inspection and
examination of the business and accounts
of Mich corporations as will guaranteo
the completeness and accuracy of the in
formation needed to ascertain whether the
corroratlons are following the law; to
enfotce penalties against delinquents, and
to cehate and publish information for
Congress The commission recommends,
also, the appointment of another commis
sion to inquire Into the practice of some
protectee" manufacturers of selling their
goods at lower prices abroad than at
home, and to report, "as soon as possi
ble," what concessions and duties may be
made without endangering wages and em
ployment at home.
Mr. Phillips in his minority report says:
"American railroads, whose monopolistic
character Is dally becoming more appar
ent, are stocked and bonded for about $11,
SOO.&jO.GuO. and had net earnings from oper
ations, after paying taxes. 1100-1901. of
?."i77,SGG.10. This means that these secur
ities are todav worth In the mnrket more
than J10.000.000.00':. If we add to this the
$1.000,00u.) of water. gas, electric
light, street railway and telephone securi
ties, probably worth that much In the
market, and the ?3,0u0.(XK.000 of securities
of our largest so-called, trusts, to say
nothing of the telegraph, there looms up
a valuation of Industries more or less
monopolistic In character of $17.000.00),000.
or probably one-fifth of what the present
census will find to be the estimated true
value of all property In this country. This
monopolistic growth has come about al
most entirely since 1SC0."
From the Investigations of the commis
sion, he says, it is apparent that the most
potent factor In establishing and main
taining monopolies has been "preferential
or discriminating rates- of freight by com
mon carriers, given by rebates or other
wise. One of the oldest monopolies, though
not nominally In the hands of a single cor
poration or trust, is that which controls
anthracite coal.

FpREST GROVE. Feb. 15. The

Johnson was born two miles north

Tacoma about 2o years aro, and a
short stay in Portland about the
Eame time, had resided continuously

erator of Pennsylvania, testified that 43,
000.OM tons of anthracite coal are yearly
carried by .rail to market at i cent per
ton per mile In excess of the rates charged
for carrying bituminous coal. This Is
?322,300 per mile of excess charge for the
year's product, or J4C.762.500 annually for
the average haul of 113 miles to the gen
eral market, or more than $1 a ton.
"This overcharge, which is greater ev
ery year than tho interest on the Na
tional debt, is made possible by the rail
road monopoly, now euphoniously called
"community of interests," and by the lim
i i.
ited area of the hard coal supply. By
discriminating against Independent opera
tors the railroads have forced them to sell
their property until at the present time
more than nine-tenths of the anthracite
coal deposits are owned, and more than
three-fourths of the entire yearly product
Is mined by elgnt lines of railroad that
are substantially in entire union of in
terest s,
Mr. Phillips also quotes from the Pacific
Railway Commission to show that the
Union Pacific Railroad had granted to the
Standard Oil Company such large sums
In rebates as to make Its entire territory
Inaccessible to other shippers.
"The evidence," Mr. Phillips says,
"shows that It Is not safe to trust private
combinations with the public weal. It may
reasonably be apprehended that the more
recent combinations will , follow the prac
tices of the older trusts. The United
States Steel Corporation exceeds all these
in that it is a combination of combina
tions. The stock of the original corpora
tions were watered when they were or
ganized, and again watered when they en
tered the giant combination. It Is esti
mated by practical men that the actual
Investment In Its plants and transporta
tion equipment does not exceed one-third
of Its actual capitalization of $1,400.0AOOO.
upon which Its profits in the first nine
months of Its existence were JS4.779.205. In
another most Important Industry that of
meat packing there .are practiced at the
present time the same methods as- those
which have built up the more dangerous
monopolies In the past."
Mr. Phillips quotes testimony given by
Paul Morton, of the Atchison road; Mr.
Mitchell of the Michigan Central, and
Mr. Mctabe, of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg, to show that the rail
roads do not keep any books showing the
rebates paid to favorite, shippers. This
was done because the presence of books
would be regarded as evidence of the vio
lation of the law.
"In the face of testimony like the fore
going," says Mr. Phillips, "It Is not sur
prising that the people are widely de
manding remedial legislation on this sub
ject. Railroad corporations have received
from the public hundreds of millions of
dollars, for which they have given little
consideration. The Government, In order
to develop the country, gaVe to the rail
roads enormous tracts of land, which in
time became very valuable. They agre
gated, according to the Government Land
Grant Office at Washington, about 197,000,
() acre more than the entire area of
New England, New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. In addition,
the National Government gave vast sub
sidles in money or in bonds.
"If the main provisions of the Cullom
bill, which were Indorsed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission and Boards
of Trade, and demanded in petition by a
great body of the people, and which aro
recommended by this commission else
where, are not accepted, then the alter
native Is Government ownership. If the
railroads refuse to accept the conditions
of just regulation which legislative . au
thority has an undoubted right to Impose,
relief should be had from the exactions
which are now Intolerable."
In proof of his contention of destructive
competition, Mr. Phillips shows that A. S.
White, president of the National Salt
Company, admitted that his concern met
competition In this way. John Land
street, of the United States Tobacco Com
pany, testified that the Continental Com
pany had done the same thing. A high
official of the Standard OH Company ad
mitted that it held prices down to cost
until the rival gave way.
A letter written by an official of thfc
Standard Oil Company declaring that be
fore a carload of rival oil could be sold
it would have to he put on the market
at half Its actual cost was put In evi
dence. It. was shown that In 33 places In Cali
fornia the price of oil ranged from 12t
cents to 0 cents a gallon, yet the price
In Chicago was only 6 cents, and the
freight rate to San Francisco 3 cents. The
rate In Illinois in SS plnces varied from C
cents to 10 cents. In Ohio in 50 places It
varied from 5 cents to 9-"5i cents.
To break down this very general sys
tem of killing competition by discriminat
ing prices. Mr. Phillips recommends the
passage of the Hill bill, which passed the
House In 1900 with only one dissenting
vote, and was burled In the Senate. This
bill Is designed to make the Sherman
antl-trurt law more effective, and pro
vides penalties for "Increasing or decreas
ing such article of commerce to the user
or consumer for the purpose of preventing
competition."
Mr. Phillips recommends. In the Interest
of labor, the small competitor and the
community at large, that the customs tar
iff be at once removed or greatly reduced
on all metals, such as Is provided In the
Babcock bills; on minerals generally In
the crude state, on wood pulp and spruce
logs, and on other raw materials which
are limited In supply, and therefore sub
ject to monopoly.
