The re- publicans claim the right of the United States to hold and govern this territory and assert it to be the duty of our gov- ernment to educale (he inhabitants to self- and (o extend to them that privilege as rapidly as they become ready for it. The democrats deny all this, hold- Ing that such a position is a violation of “‘government by the consent of the gov- erned,” a fundamental principle of our government. They claim also that the constitution follows the flag and assert as thefr policy In the Philippines: First, to establish stable government; second, to grant {ndependence; third, to protect the islands against other nations “Thin brief statement of history and of | the policles of the two parties 18 common knowledge. With these facts before me, and, I must confess, with a high persona admiration for the leader m my vote ported four years ago, 1 began as thor- ough a study of present conditions and of related history as time and means would permit with the purpose, first. to under- stand the question as a duty of citizenship; and second, to uphold the democratic for- elgn polity if a consclentious study would warant such a position “It was evident from the character of the question that the paramount issue was to be fought out on the grounds of ti- con- stitution, in the light of history and of the fundamental priciples of our government. I went to the constitution for its provisions concerning the holding and governing of ter- ritory. It reads: ‘The congress shall have power to declare war.' ‘The president by and with the advice and consent of the sen- ate shall have power to make treaties' “The congress shall have powar to disap- prove of and make all needful rules and reg- ulations respecting the territory or other property of the United States. 1 could see no violation of any of these clauses by the administration's policy. Congress author- ized the Spanish war. The president and the senate made a treaty and ended the war. By the terms.of this treaty (he United Stat became owner of territory formerly owned by Spain. This can be the only Interpreta- tion of the constitutlon If we assume that the acquisition of territory by treaty is con- stitutional. The acquisition of all territory west of the Missiesippl, except Texas, up- holds this assumption. *&t acquisition by treaty s not constitutional it is at least not quegtioned by either party. Both parties the Paris treaty of acquisition Therefore the United States became owner of the Philippine Islands in a manner pro- vided by the constitution, approved by his- tory and sanctioned by both parties. “The democrats charge, however, that the United States is making a war of conquest in territory admitted by them to be United States territory. They now dispute the title which they helped to establish because they see in Aguinaldo's insurrection non-consent of the governed, which they state, without prooi, is u violation of a fundamental prin- ciple of our government. Analyzes Argament, “I began to analyze this argument. It is all built upon the insurrection of Aguinaldo It Aguinaldo had not taken up arms against us, there would have been no war of con- quest; there would have been no violation of ‘consent of the governed' on our part Henco our title would have been good and there would have been no ground for the chief democratic argument “Suppose the contention be made that we would bave no right, in the absence of Agul- naldo's insurrection, to hold the islands without asking for express consent of the {nbabitants. Then we had no right to make the (reaty without their express consent. No one denied right to do this. Suppose that after Jefferson had completed the treaty purchasing Louistana a few hundred of the {nhabitants had resisted by arms the trans- fer without their consent. Would th have anoulled our title secured by tr If Jefiferson had sent out troops to enforce order and protect property would such act have been called a war of conquest? learly both history and constitution onfirm title the Phjlippines, and President McKinley's oath of office compels him to uphold that title by force if neces- sary, not to mention bis duty to other na- tions ,to enforce the couditions of the treaty, “ ‘Government by force' s talked of as our our 1t it were a new policy in our national history. While our ustitution was awaiting the ratification by states and after the necessary nine states to make it operative had ratified there was serious talk of compelling New York, by force, to raitfy, because it was thought the union ould not be maintained without her. Again in 1817, when Jackson had been placed in command of the United States troops to settle hostilities in the Floridas, Spanish territcry, he wrote the president ‘Let it be signified to me thrcugh any channel that the possession af the Flor- idas would be desirable to the United States and in sixty days it will be ace complished.’ In both these cases was contemplated acquisition by conquest without the consent of the governed These ‘force’ policles are justified in his- tory as essential to natlonal existence and to geographical unity. McKinley's so-called ‘force’ policy in cur own terri tory will doubtless be justified as essen- tial to national duty Not & Fundamental Pri “A careful study of the ‘conseat of the governed' argument shows that it ls not a fundameatal principle of our gov- eroment.

The language of the constitution s clear on this point ways: ‘Congress shall have power to iake rules and regulations respecting the territory und other property of the United States.’ It expressed the faith of the makers of the constitution in the peoples’ representatives to Rovern territories out side the constitution. For the constitu- tlon does not recognize ‘territory’ as under the constitution. The preamble established the constitution for the United States. The constitution prescribed rules for tho government of the states of the union and ompowered congress with the government of territories outside the unfon until as states they should come under the consti- tution. ““This matural interpretation was favored by Hamilton and by Gallatin, Jeflerson's secretary of the treasury. And the history of all territorial government in tf United States accords with their views. Hamilton sald: ‘It will not be doubted that if the United States should make a comquest of any of the territories of its neighbors they would possess sovereign jurisdiction over the conquered country. Gallatin said “The existence of the United States as a nation presupposes the power enjoyed by every natlon of extending their territory by treaties; and the general power given to the president and senate of making treaties, designates the organs through which the acquisition may be made, while the constitution provides the proper au- thority, congress, for efther admitting o the unlon or governing as subfects the ter- ritory thus acquired.’ Californin was Kept under military government till her admis- sion to statehood, omitting the territorial stage. Nebraska passed through the ter- ritorfai stage, submitting to governors and Judges and marshals placed over her with- out her consent, by the president “From all this It is clear that the con- | stitution extends to territory neither bv the language of that instrument, nor the interpretation of it by men living at the time of its adoption, nor by the history of territortal government. Sums Up Strong. “To summarize: The constitution and history afirm the right of congress to hld and govern acquired territory; deny that the ‘consent of the governed' argument i3 a fundamental principle of our goverrment; show that this argument is less applicabl» | to our island possessions than to former acquisitions, and deny that the ‘comstiiu- tioa tollows the flag.’ | “8ti1, with all of history and the consti- tation in favor of the policy of the admin- istration, 1 would vote for Bryan If his poliey followed the lines of our moral duiy as @ nation. If any pledges of ours, ex- pressed or implied, obligated us to graut Indopendence to the Filipinos, 1 would favor that policy.

If a knowl edge of conditicns in the Phillppines at a | later period shows thut absolute independ- | ence would be better for the inhabitan‘a | 1t will not be too late to grant it.
