I a fact of cardinal Import' lance, ' which, however, some people are apt to rorget or at any rate to ignore. - I' recommend thla "class ! of somnolent thlnkera to turn to the party platform on Which Mr. McKInley and Mr. Roosevelt were elected in MOO. Is there any Jingo- Ism there? Not a word of it -The key note of the Philippine plank of that plat . form U the conception of 'responsibility' With which It begins. t tiers is Ihs pa c isage In its entirety: ' " , , -' " 'In acci-pUng by the treaty of Paris the Just responsibility, of our victories in the Bpanlnh War, the "President and the JSenats won the . undoubted approval of the American people. , No other course : Was- possible than to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the West Indies ' and In. the. Philippine - Islands. That Vonrsa created ouf responsibility before the "world; a"hd . with the unorganised ; - poDUlation whom .our ' Intervention . had v : freed from Spain, to provide for the main V : reliance of law and order, and for the ' establishment of good government, and , lor the performance Of international oh ligations. Our authority could .not be Jess than our responsibility, and, what' wer sovereign right were extended,, it :. became the high duty of the Government to maintain ita authority, to ' put down - a larnied insurrection, and to eonfer the thlplons of liberty, and civilisation upon all the rescued peoples.

Nay, duty is tta peter mine our stay: for, - as the meastn-e iot home rule which the Filipinos art t fi enjoy is to be limited only by 'their wei fare and our duties; we might withdraw onr sovereignty as eoou'as the Filipinos are capable of undertaking the obliga- . tiojia lotftosed, npon us. by the title of a Mverelgnty. There Is, therefore, nothing f n the National platform of the Republl ': ran party, on which. Mr. McKInley and Mr, Roosevelt stood.; and were electee, to warrant any Republican' In indulging . in flings at anti-Imperialism or In asser- ' Kms to the effect that We must ' hold tne Philippines forever, even though the ' natives deslre.and are fit for Independ : ence. 'I repeat, the future of the Philip opines is - an open question. And I will v add that, as anti-Imperialist Republicans are no' less true to the Republican plat . form, of 1900, so in the future they will be at least as helpful as pro-colonial and jlngolst Republicans In aiding us to reach a wise solution of our Philippine perplexities."- 1 Mill Of FIUPIIOS JournaI Special Service.)
