For Congress, CHARLES F. BARCLAY, Cameron. (Subject to Dceislonof Congressional Convention] For State Senator, E. .1. JONES. Elk. {Subject to Decision of Senatorial Convention.] 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. First Fork.
