TJic President's Speech.
Philadelphia Press.
The President's Arlington speech
is a militant and powerful deliver
ance, and is sure to have a deep
effect of possibly varying shades on
public opinion. It is full of the
fighting quality. It has all the
rugged strength of his virile and
strenuous nature. It is the robust
and ringing utterance of a leader
who has faith in himself, faith in
his country, faith in its spirit and
its mission, ami who summons the
the people to follow liini in the
vindication of American honor and
American fiber. From the start
the President assumes the aggres
sive.and he at once puts the critics,
the censors and the cynics on the
defensive.
The speech divides itself into a
series of sequences: First, as to the
criticisms on Philippine campaign;
second, the truth about that cam
paign and the attitude of the Gov
ernment; third, the real freedom
and advancement which American
eontrol gives to the Philippines;
ami,forth, the duty and the outlook
of the future. When lie snarling
and pitiful criticism of the past few
months finds itself reflected in the
mirror the President holds up and
measures itself by the relentless
tests he applies,it will either confess
and shrive itself or it will skulk
v.vay from the issue. It cannot
face and answer the plain truths
■which the President presents.
< )n the first blush the President's
pointed reference to the lynchings
will provoke resentment in some
quarters. But look out. critics,
that you understand his logic and
see where your own leads. The
fact of lynching is unchallenged.
Does their existence brandcarnmu
nities in which they are perpetrated?
President doesn't say so. On the
contrary, his argument is that you
have no more right to condemn a
whole army or a whole campaign
because of some cruelties. Is this
true or not? What fault can be
Sound except upon the plea that a
reference to lynchings is an indict
ment of a section? And do not
those wise offer such a plea them
selves imply precisely what the
President does not?
As to the character of the cam
paign in the Philippines and the
attitude of the Goverment the
President is clear and explicit.
He plainly condemns all unnec
essary severity. He declares that
unswerving effort must be made to
probe every instance or cruelty
and punish every perpetrator.
But then he adds, upon his
responsibility as President, that
thecruelties on the part of American
soldiers "have been wholly excep
tional and have been shamelessly
exaggerated." lie affirms that
"our warfare in the Philippines has
been carried on with singular
humanity.'' He asserts that "for
every act of cruelty by our men
there have been innumerable acts
of forbearance, magnanimity and
gem ms kindness." This is the
Je< ation of the President of the
li I States. What American
ve res to impeach his testimony?
"W i slanderer of the American
na will have face enough not to
sli away under stinging rebuke?
> vt as to results—as to the
eh ter and effect of American
oo >l. The President puts this
pio i with great power. "Wher
ev n the Philippines the insur
re< n been definitely and
lii put down, thers the individ
ual Filipino already enjoys such
tre >m, such personal liberty,
iii our rule, as lie could never
tfr- ••ui of under tic rule of an
'in • >endent' Aguiualdian oligar
ch Again who will dispute the
President? He crystallizes the !
truth in a sentence* The whole
false, illusive argument that
"independence" alone is freedom
he shivers with a single shaft.
What answer? To contend other-!
wise is to contend that American
civilisation and liberty are not as
Philippine barbarity. Mow many
Americans are willing thus to
befoul the name of their own
country?
Finally the President is strong
and emphatic on the immediate
duty and on the conditions of the
future problem. We must
complete the work to which we
have set our hands. "If we flinch
from finishing the task on which
we have entered we show ourselves
cravens and weaking, unworthv
of the sires from whose lions we
sprang." We can and will teach
freedom to the Filipinos. Who will
give them peace and order, schools
and justice .industry and prosperty.
We will develop self-care and self
rule. "When they have thus
shown their capacity for real free
dom by their power of self-gov
ernment then," says the President.
"AND NOT TILL THEN, will
it be possible to decide whether
they are to exist independently of
us or be knit to us by tics of common
friendship and interest." Here is
the true chart. The President
neither anticipates nor decides for
the future. He proposes to do the
duty in hand. lie prepares the
way for the just and intelligent
consideration of the coming
problem when it shall arrive.
And no sober, responsible public
leader will or ought to answer now
what can be rightly answered only
in the future.
The speech as a whole is the
strongest and the most decisive
utterance which President Roose
velt has made since he came to the
executive chair. It has the
summoning note of the trumpet.
It rankeswith Preident McKinley's
speech at Boston in the winter of
1 *!)!), and serves to clear the air
and rail 3' sentiment at this stage
as that did in the earlier phases of
the Philippine issue. President
Roosevelt has spoken what the
country and the world needed to
hear.—Phila. Press.

lie knows that this paper aims to adver
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm

i and could jjet no relief. He says:"After
i using the Pain Halm for a few days my
j wife said to me, • L feel as though born
| anew, and before using the entire conteuts
I of the bottle the unbearable pains had en
tirely vanished and she could again take
