NA VAL CONTROL OF PACIFIC.
John R. Proctor, president of the
United States civil service commis
sion, has made one of the strong ar
guments for expansion. In Harper's
Weekly for October 22d, he shows
why, if we have a coaling and repair
station anywhere in the Philippines,
it will be expedient and advantage
ous to take all the islands. If we
retain all the Philippine group our
only neighbors will be Japan and
Formosa, Great Britain in North
Borneo and the Straits Settlements,
and the Netherlands in the Dutch
islands. England and the Nether
lands control the natives of Borneo
with a small military force and both
are friendly to American control in
the Philippines. There will be no
danger of friction so far as neighbor
lng governments are concerned.
If we retain only a part of the isl
ands, Mr. Proctor says.the remainder
will inevitably fall into the hands of
the European powers, and such dis
turbances will result as will necessi
tate a larger military force to hold
one island than, under our sole con
trol, it would require to hold all.
If we retain only a coaling station
we shall be forced to carry coal in
time of war from San Francisco to
this station. If we retain all the isl
ands we shall have at our service the
coal deposits of the islands of Cebu,
Nesros and Masbate.
Mr. Procter contends that it would
be supreme folly to retain Manila
and the island of Luzon and surren
der the coal islands to other powers.
This would be putting the United
States at the mercy of other coloniz
ing powers. Should we retain all
the islands the United States and
Great Britain would control the coal
supply tributary to the Indian and
Pacific oceans, and could confine
hostile naval movements of European
powers to European waters.
Mr. Procter's conclusion is that
there would be infinitely less danger
of foreign complications if ,we should
retain all the islands than if we re
tain only one or two oi them. He,
therefore is convinced that the Unit
ed States should never surrender the
right to control the entire group. It
would be as easj' to govern and de- j
velop the group as it was for England
to govern and develop Australia and
New Zealand. We have in abund
ance men of large administrative
ability, equal to making the Philip
pines not only self-supporting, but
in time wealthy and progressive.
Mr. Proctorbelievcs further that the
increased responsibility of good gov
ernment in Cuba and the Philippines
will have a most beueficial effect on
home government, and provincial
politics will give place to a broader
statesmanship.
Mr. Procter does not discuss the
question of duty to the Filipinos,
but confines himself to the advan
tages that annexation! promises to
the United States.
With the Philippines in our per
manent possession we should be
lodged at the very center of activity
ia the Pacific area, with its popula
tion of 878,000,000 population and
its sea-born commerce amounting to
$5,000,000,000 annually. "Withtbe
Nicaragua canal completed and in
our control, with Porto Rico, Cuba,
Hawaii, and the Philippines in our
possession, we should be in position
to secure more of the Pacifia trade
than any other nation.
And so it comes to pass that a
Republican president has honored
by name in a public address confed
erate heroes. Truly the civil war is
a splendid memory, and the bravery
of the federal and confederate is the
glory of all citizens of the republic.
Three Doctors In Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chopeji for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
beet, to be chosen in the second place ;
what reason (i. e.. Theoryl eays is beet
is to D3 chosen in the last place. But if
you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex
perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con
sultation together, they will give you
the best advice that can be taken."
When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli
nation would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
Dr. Reason would recommend it because
it is prepared on scientific principles,
and acts on nature's plan in relievinsr
the lungs, opening the secretions and
restoring the system" to a natural and
healthy condition. For sale by Blakeley
& HouKOton.
