CORPSE OF ANTI IMPERIALISM TWICE
PUT UNDERGROUND.
l'fce Venerable Gentlemen Who Ad
vocate Huultnw Down Oar FU| In
the Philippines Hare Outlived
Their Political Uaefalneea.
Tlie Chicago Tribune In an editorial
commenting on tbe recent campaign
says:
Looking back upon the campaign In
;i dispassionate spirit, does It not Btrlke
the reflective and philosophical student
us amazing that any "sane and safe"
party should propose to the bounding
manhood of this country the abandon
ment of one of Its best possessions?
When we come to think—ln the calm,
melancholy days of late November—of
this Issue so cruelly resurrected from
the grave where It was put In 1900
and propelled into the forum of de
bate, Insufficiently clad for public ex
posure, we are Inclined to drop a si
lent tear over tbe follies of mankind.
What political leaders ha\®.g an atom
of sense or experience can believe now
t liat the Democracy had any chance to
win 011 an issue of that kind?
The cry of "anti-imperialism" was
raised by a number of venerable aei\-
tlemen who have outlived their po
litical usefulness. The apostles of dis
content on the Philippine question
were Carl Schura, George S. Boutwell,
George F. Edmunds and General Nel
son A. Miles. The average man.and
especially the average boy In the street,
would have thought twice a short time
HK'O If he had been asked whether
some of these gentlemen were alive or
dead and might even now reflect with
discontent upon the fact that one or
more of them arc certainly known to
be alive since the campaign brought
their existence to light.
In a sense, all these gentlemen, and
many more like thein, who became
"strenuous" over the Philippine Issue
are on the retired list. The American
people have never yet been governed
by their retired list. They never will
be while they remain vigorous, pro
gressive, self confident, alert and virile.
Take the case of General Miles, for
example. The young men of the coun
try who know anything about him
know that he was a brave soldier in
tlie civil war and a very paladin of of
fense during the Indian wurs that suc
ceeded It. As a counselor they know
nothing good of him. He is not saga
cious when he leaves the tented field.
Ills statesmanship is mediocre, his
Unnper bad, his vanity boundless and
his conceit uncontrollable. Who would
think of asking Generul Miles In these
days for «n opinion on any public
question? Even In matters relating to
the army his Judgment Irf so warped by
political feeling and utterances so tinc
tured by malevolence that they no
longer have any weight.
Mr. Boutwell Is a crabbed, egotistic,
self centered octogenarian whom no
mini would think of consulting on any
question of business or affairs. Messrs.
Kdiuunds and Schurz decidedly are on
the shelf, and so are most of the other
gentlemen who have united with theui
In the Philippine clamor.
The Tribune does not care to Indulge
in self laudation nor to Iterate the wea
risome shibboleth, "I told you so," but
Is it not true that the bounding youth
of the country repudiated, as the Trib
une said it would do, with worn and
indignation the suggestion that we
should let the Philippines go? The Is
sue was no more popular than that of
18<50, when Horace Greeley cried out.
"I.et the erring sisters go In peuce."
The young men of the country simply
would not have it. They were deter
mined that no palsied hand should
haul down the American flag In the
Philippines or any other place where It
was properly flying.
Why. the story of tbe Hawaiian Is
lands should have been enough. "Para
mount Ascendency" Blount, under the
direction of Grover Cleveland, took
down the flag In those Islands, and the
country knew him no more, and there
was no stop to public agitation until
they became permanently a part of the
Puited States.
So will it always be in matters of
this kind. The little Enghiuders who
wished to have Great Britain abandon
South Africa have put the Liberal par
ty out of power most of the time for a
generation, and it will be kept out of
power as long as peace at any price
statesmen control Its policy.
The corps of "antl-Imperlallsm" has
been put under ground twice. Twice
should be enough, but If tlie Insane
and unsafe Democracy wishes to raise
the issue In 1908 the party of progress
will again cheerfully meet It with
bloody hands and welcome It for the
third time to a hospitable grave.
Trade Still Lively.
The election has come and gone and
trade Is running along as briskly as be
fore under a full head of steam. There
are no signs of slackening anywhere.
Those skeptical ones who thought that
the current activity was largely ficti
tious and strained to affect the election
now admit that the expansion in busi
ness Is genuine.—San Francisco Call.
It Waa a Boomfraaf.
Judge Parker must wonder some
times in his artless Rsoplan way
whether those charges he made against
the president and Chairman Cortelyou
during the late campaign won any
votes for him.

A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS
. WHY YOU SHOULD HAYE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFF
BECAUSE—lncontestable from the
date of issue. Because—absolutely
without restrictions. Because—non
forfeitable from date of issue. Be
cause—cash loans are provided after
second year, on demand at 5 per cent
interest without fee or other charge.
Because—if death does not occur an
accumulative policy is a highly profi
table investment for the poliey-holdei
who lives.
Policies now maturing to living
policy-holders prove this. In fact
