The lirst was:"The i'hillp p'.aes do not weigh wltli me ill advocat* ir.4 a strong navy Ido not think their possession alters in any degree tlio aunMint of navy that is required." 'Hie second remark was: "But what does weigh \'ith me is the fact that the markets of*the east are of great Im portance to this country and of ever growing importance in the trade com petition of the world. We must have our -hare of those markets. For that purpose the integrity of China is an essential and a cardinal point in the po! y or thq United States." 1- th of tlieso observation.- cross the current of untliiiikiug opinions, but both are right. In both Senator Lodge sho \ s himself the careful student and the sound thinker ft is a superficial and unreflecting but common view which assumes that the possession of t!ae Philippines compels a larger navy than we would require without them. Th.- theory is that their distance and exposed position would make them the 1 easy prey df an enemy in war and that i a large navy is necessary for their de 1 fcn.se. The defect of this theory is that it ; ! 'ieates the inevitable loss of the Philippines on tht ir possible temporary oc 'p ition. If we were engaged in war Imight or might not be occupied by t!i enemy The enemy might or might : not have more naval power at that! point than we had. In the end it would i m.i.;e no difference The result as to the 1 ailipjiliies would depend on the general result of the war. To secure ; and hold those islands the enemy would j have to whip us in our own immediate i waters and oil our own ground. In the war with Spain we occupied only Manila We came into possession of the whole archipelago because we com- j pletel.v defeated Spain and were able J to dictate our own terms. Senator Lodge is equally right in what he says as to China. A passive policy would hold the Philippines, j Only an active policy will maintain j what we want in China. It was onlj the active policy of IttOO with what jus- preceded and 'what followed that gav eu* our footiug there We want a fall equal cominerelai opportunity in the great markets of the east". The open door and ;tii iutegral China are vital 10 it The partition of China, witi: its several segments falling under the exclusive control of rival commer cial powers, would shut us out. llence the Integrity "112 China is un essential aud cardinal point in the policy of the Unite-1 States," aud Senator Lodge is absolutely right when he says so. Senator Lodge's critics misconceive both him and the policy Their mis take lies in supposing that the policy requires us to tight for the integrity of China and that he associates it with a strong navy in order to he prepared to tight r»r It. That does not follow. We had to tight for the rescue of our Im periled minister, but for nothing more. We saved China by moral power, bur that P >wer was effective because there was material power behind it. What we have yet to do will be wrought by then.oral power of the great republic, but that power will be all the greater with the visible evidence of au ade-, quate navy in eastern waters.

Reeder, pISTOP THAT JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT Irrrtutal.le l.ctuie <* I Fjicls lint* Slumpc-il itie I 'ri**» Tracer*. j The free trade newspaper- try to j belittle the marvelous showing of e.\- ; ports of Americau manufactures by suggesting that they would have been larger but for the tariff, which, the.v assert, tends to check the interchange of commodities. This is in the trui ; free trade vein of consistency aud fair J ness. For years the free traders op posed the protective tariff on the "i ground that under sueli a system-it ! was hopeless to expect ativ large sales . abroad of American products. Now , 1 that experience has shown the falsity of their arguments and the I nited i States has u larger export trade than I any other country they are compelled by the irrefutable logic of facts to i change their tune somewhat. But i nothing will make them honest enough I to frankly admit that they were mis ! taken tu both premises and conclu ; sions. Meanwhile, however, the Ainer ; lean people go right along prospering ■ i under protection and capturing mar I kets which free traders declared to he i out of their reach. Nobody minds a free trader much nowadays. Most of j us are too busy.—Troy Times. | A MATTER OF HEALT |i|j j Abso luteiy Pare HAS NO SUBS j Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BKCAUSE Incontestable from the | date of issue.
