THEY WANT PROTECTION, Phena Neighborhood Organizing For Pur- pose of Advancing Interests. The following report of a meeting is taken from this week’s issue of the Itasca County Record, a paper pub- lished at phena: “A meeting of the citizens of Phena conyened at Schu- macher Bros.'s store Tuesday evening for the purpose of establishing a branch of an organization to be known as the Northern Itasca County Protective Association. The purpose of the organization is to look into the matter of getting appropriations for roads and bridges, and proper repre- sentation before the county poard for this part of the county, and to pro- tect ourselves in a general way from any inroads into our rights from tHe stronger and more united part of the county and to work for the general good of northern Itasca. The move- ment was started last week at Grand Falls when a similar branch was organized and delegates elected who are to meet delegates from other towns on Wednesday, August 27th, at Phena. At the meeting Tuesday evening nothing was done except to organize the Phena branch of the as: sociation and elect officers. Aad A, Tone was elected president of the whole organization by the Grand Falls branch.” A similar meeting was held at Ripple, and is told about in the fol- lowing from the same paper: ‘An important meeting, which may re- sult in great benefit to the settlers of northern Itasca county, was held at Ripple, on the Big Fork river, on August 18th. An organization was formed fo unite the people of this section for their mutual bene in all matters pertaining to the develop- ment and interest of this new country. It will be known as the Northern Itasca County Protective Association and the first general meeting will be held at Phena (New Bridgie) on August. 27th. Branches will be formed at every postoffice precinct, each branch being governed by a vice- president, secretary and ‘treasurer and entitled to two delegates to the general meeting. The citizens of ezch precinct are requested to elect such officers and send theic delegates to the August 27th meeting. Choice business lots for sale. Lot 4, block 17, Grand Rapids.

Wait until the trouble was over and the country could discuss af leisure the disposition of the Phillp- pines. We needn't talk about it now, they tell us. Jtis all settled and there ig nothing more to say, It is not settled. The Repyblicans either bave no policy or itisa colonial policy. ‘The Democrats propose a definate policy that recognizes human rights and detest the program of ben- evolent despotism, ; Imperialism does not consist in killing people. The end of the Phil- ippine struggle only clears the way for -calm and intelligent discussion. What, good friends, is the difference in the conditions of government in Batangas and Bohol? What is the difference in measures to be applied between Laguna and Cavite? What. is the appropriate civil gradation of Leyte and Samar. You don’t know? Then how do you propose to govern them intellis gently? ‘ Ob, you leaye that to the men on the spot. who best understand the conditions. Then you assume the power but you assume no responsi- bility. Can youdothat? You give the provincial officers absolute power and hold them responsible neither to yourselves nor to the Filipinos. x Ina word you favor irresponsible goverment. Well. Democracy is oppased to that. But you propose to get out of it, Good. In that case say so. The last thing we heard you say was, We must keep the Phillipines, we must keep the Fhillipines. If you intend to restore the Phili- pines to the Filipuns, none will ree joice more than the Democrats and none will be more ready toepraise you as the Democrats liberally praised your course in Cuba and China, The moment you declare in good faith that intention, there ceases to be a Philipine issue in American polities.
