There is no greater folly than that of supposing the American government will make promises or propose terms with persons who have their guns turned toward the American Hag and against the American soldier. In his Memorial day speech President Roosevelt scathingly condemned those who attack the American soldier in the rear, and the Democratic newspapers insist that there is politics in snoh statement! President Roosevelt made no reference to Democratic leadership, but if it is engaged in that sort of business it ought to stand up and take its medicine. Senator Morgan, the ablest member of the minority in the senate, disposed of the contention upon which the whole Democratic theory of the Philippine situation rests, when he said the other day: “As to the people of the Philiopine Islands, if that term by any euphemism or reckless speech can be applied to the few Tagalogs and Viaayans that followed Aguinaido, among the 8,000,000 inhabitants of the archipelago, they never Lad a pretense of organized civil government that was, in fact, baaed on the suffrage or even the implied ooneent of the whole people of theee many inhabited ieJ jande. This fact at ot cs destroys I

the pretension that an organized civil government Other than that of Spain ever existed in i these islands before f)ewey attacked the Spanish fleet, anjd as to its being republican in form, that idea is extinguished,., unless a republic, which must be based on the will of the people or the consent of the governed, can be created by the edict of a single man.” That is sound sense from a sound Democrat.
