of 

Negative  argument.—In 

the  dis 
cussion  of  this  question  I  will  take 
Webster's  definition 
" P u b l ic 
Policy." 
" P u b l ic  Policy  is  the  sys 
tem  of  measures  or  line  of  conduct 
which  a  Nation  follows  as  being  the 
best  for  the  welfare  and  interests  of

the 

T h e re  is  one  article  in  our  Con 
stitution  which  relates  indirectly  to 
the  government  of  dependent  peo 
It  reads  as follows:  "  Congress 
ple. 
shall  have  power 
to  dispose  of  and 
make  all  needful  rules  and  regula 
tions  respecting  the  territory  or  other 
property  belonging 
the  United 
States." 

to 

But  have  we  the  right  to  acquire 
territory?  Chief  Justice  Marshall 
said  in  answer  to  this  question,  "  T he 
the  United  States 
Constitution  of 
the  power 
confers  upon  Congress 
of  declaring  war  and  making 
trea 
ties,  and  consequently  acquiring  ter 
ritory." 

Senator  Foraker  of  Ohio  also 
says,  " It  has  come  to  be  conceded 
on  every  hand,  that  our  government 
does  possess  equal  sovereign  power 
with  every  other  sovereign  nation 
of  the  earth,  to  acquire  territory  by 
conquest  or  treaty,  and  to  hold  such 
territory  at  pleasure." 
therefore 
maintain  from  the  strength  of  these 
two  authorities  that  our  government 
has  the  right 
territory. 
N ow  from  the  article  of  the  Consti 
tution  above  quoted  we  have 
the 
right  to  govern  these  territories.

I 

Although  we  have  proved  that  we 
have  the  constitutional  right  to  ac 
quire  and  govern  territories,  yet  the 
anti-expansionists  will  say  that  we 
are  encroaching  on  the  principles  of 
freedom  and  liberty,  which  should 
be 
true 
the  watchword  of  every 
American.  T h ey  base 
their  argu 
ment  on  a statement,  which  although 
not  a  part  of  our  Constitution,  is 
asserted  to  be  one  of  the  fundamen 
tal  principles  on  which  our  govern 
ment  is  built.  So  it  might  be  well 
to  consider  for  a  moment  this  prin 
ciple, which  reads  as  follows:  "Gov 
ernments  derive 
their  just  powers 
from  the  consent  of  the  governed." 
For  the  interpretation  of  this  prin 
ciple  let  us  call  in  the  testimony  of 
past  United  States  History.  Every 
one  is  familiar  with  the  atrocities  of 
the  blood-thirsty 
in  early 
Indian 
colonial 
times,  who  waged  battle 
after  battle  in  defense  of  his  right 
treaty 
ful  property.  Treaty  after 
was  signed.  Each  time  the  Indian 
was  deprived  of  a  little  more  of 
nature's  gifts  until  at  last  he  was 
shut  up  in  a  little  territory  and  held 
there  until  the  present  time  by  mili 
tary  force.  W e re  the  Indians  asked 
whether  they  wished  to  be  governed 
or  not ? 

time  of 

T he  second  epoch  in  our  expansive 
history 
takes  place  in  1803,  when 
T h o m as  Jefferson,  the  author  of  the 
principle  which  we  are  so  earnestly 
discussing,  purchased  from  France, 
territory  of  one  million 
that  vast 
square  miles  known  as the  Louisiana 
purchase.  This  territory  was  settled 
thousand  Spanish  at 
by  about  fifty 
the  purchase.  W h en 
the 
transfer 
they  became  aware  of  the 
of  ownership  which  had  been  made 
they  sent  a  petition 
to  Congress 
begging  in  words  grand  enough  for 
any  statesman  of  today  to  be  proud 
of,  that  they  might  be  privileged  to 
set  up  an  independent  government 
friendly  to  (he  United  States.

ferson's  answer  was  a body  of  troops

Jefferson 

In  1819  as  a  result  of  Gen.  Jack 
son's  frightening  the  Spaniards  into 
a  treaty,  President  Monroe  was  able 
to purchase  Florida,  and Jackson  was 
appointed  governor over the  territory.

This  was  followed 
in  184S  by 
Gadsden  purchase  which  was 
the 
result  of 
the  Mexican  war  which 
Channing  regards  as  an  attack  ot  a 
strong  nation  upon  a  weak  one  for 
purpose  of  securing  territory.  W e re 
the  people  asked  whether 
they 
wished  to  be  bought  or  not?  No. 
Not  once  during  this  series  of  terri

the  governed  asked.  Shall  we  today

a  tyrant  whose  horrible  butchery  of 
thousands  of  helpless  women  and 
children  had  filled  the  heart  of  every 
American  with  the  spirit  of  revenge.

Senator  Beveridge 
says,  "  God  has  made  us  the  organ

reigns.  This  is  the  divine  mission 
in  store 
of  America,  and 
for  us  all  the  happiness  and  glory

Chapel  services  Sunday  morning 
were  conducted  by  R e v.  W.  A. 
F r y e,  pastor  of  the  Central  Metho 
theme 
dist  church,  Lansing.  His 
is  found  in  Mark  12:37,  " A nd  the 
common  people  heard  Him  ( C h r i s t) 
gladly.  T he  sermon  was  very  in 
teresting  and  certainly  a  benefit  to 
all  present. 

T he  union  meeting  of  the  Y.  W. 
and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  was  led  by  M r. 
W.  J.  Geib.  T h e m e,  H ow to  make 
St. 
our  prayers  more  effectual. 
tells  us  that  " T he  effectual, 
J a m es 
fervent,  prayer  of  a  righteous  man 
availeth  much."  Christ  said:  " If 
ye  abide  in  me, and  my  words  abide 
in  you, ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will, 
and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you." 

As  this  was  the  evening  set  apart 
by the International  Confederation  of 
Students  as  a  time  of  special  prayer 
for  students  all  over  the  world,  the 
services  took  the  nature  of  a  special 
prayer  meeting. 

We  ought  to  have  the  chapel  full 
every  Sunday  evening,  so  as  many 
as  can,  should  come  to  the  Union 
meeting.  Everybody  invited. 

At 

the  regular  annual  business 
meeting  of  the  association,  the  fol 
lowing  officers  were  elected  for  the 
ensuing  year: 
President,  W.  N. 
B r o w n;  vice  president,  H.  N.  Horn-
beck  ;  recording 
secretary,  Leslie

the  fact,  that  the  shrew  strikes  his

than 

T he  dairymen's  convention  was  a 
great  success.  T he  numbers  were 
larger 
last  year,  in  fact,  we 
believe,  the  largest  in  the  history  of 
the  convention.  We  were  glad  to 
note earnest  and well-received  papers 
from  some  of  our  graduates—Mr. 
W.  T.  P a r ks  had  a  paper  on  the 
production  and  care  of  milk  for  city 
delivery,  and  C.  H.  P a r k er  one  on 
feeding  dairy  stock.  M r.  Michels 
spoke  on  pasteurizing  cream,  and 
Mr.  Ferguson  on  the  breeding  of 
the  dairy  cow.  Miss  Crowe  dis 
cussed  possibilities  of  dairy  products 
for  the  housewife.  Professor  Mar 
shall  showed  some  reasons  for  still 
believing 
tuberculosis  can  be 
transmitted  from  the  cow  to  man. 
Prof  C.  D.  Smith  was  everywhere 
and  discussed  many  subjects  pub 
licly,  semi-publicly  and  privately. 
T he  College  was  again  selected  as 
the  place  of  meeting  for  next  year. 
T he  meetings  as a  whole  were  very 
attractive,  and  many  of  our  students

to  be  held  at  Toronto, 
February  26  to  March  2,  draws

quarters  and  at  the  Volunteer  office. 
So  general  is the  interest  in this  gath

Interest 

ering,  that  the utmost  resources  avail 
able  are  sorely  taxed.  Colleges  and 
other  institutions  of  higher  learning, 
from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  are 
taking  steps 
to  appoint  large  and 
influential  delegations  in cases  where 
this  has  not  already  been  done. 
the  city  where 

teh 
Convention  meets  is  most  natural. 
Its  architectural  beauty,  its  high 
reputation  as  a  scholastic  center,  and 
its  dominating  influence  in  the  evan 
gelical  life  of  the  Dominion  combine 
to  make  it  an  ideal  gathering  place. 
To  this  may  be  added, in  the  case  of 
delegates  from  the  States, the  charm 
of  the  transplanted  English  life  as 
affected  by  early  French 
traditions. 
It  is  a  bit  of  E n g l a nd  with  some 
thing  of  the  Sabbath  atmosphere  of 
Scotland,  mingled  with 
the  spirit 
and  enterprise  of  America.  T he 
student  life  of  Toronto  is  likewise  a 
unique  composite  of  British 
and 
American 
ideas  and  customs,  with 
which  it  will  be  most  interesting  to 
become  acquainted.

received. 

Interest  in  the  coming  convention 
is  further  justified  by  the  acceptance 
already 
include 
the  leading  missionary  advocates  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada,  mis 
sionaries  from  all  the  great 
fields, 
many  of 
them  with  a  world-wide 
reputation,  and  persons  whose  fame 
is  in  every  mouth  in  connection  with 
in  China—Dr. 
the  recent  uprising 
Ament,  and  Prof.  Gamewell,  de 
fender  of 
legations,  both  of 
Pekin,  being  among  them.  Y o u ng 
people's 
leaders,  whose 
names  are  household  words,  will  be 
present,  as  will  men  and  women 
of  spiritual  power,  some  of  whom 
are  already  known  to  students;  M r. 
Speer  and  Dr.  and  Mrs.  H o w a rd 
Taylor,  for  example.  Editors  and 
educators  of  influence  and  wide  rep 
utation  will  constitute  an 
important 
part  of  the  personnel.  Best  of-  all, 
Mr.  Mott,  whose  five  months'  tour 
among  the  students  of  J a p a n,  China 
and  India  has  been  a  prolonged  ex 
perience  of 
remarkable  successes, 
will  preside.  His  words  will  alike 
inspire  and  empower  all  who  hear 
him. 

Difficulties  to  be  feared  in  case  of 
a 
representa 
late  appointment  of 
tives  are  suggested  by  the  fact  that 
at  a  number  of  remote  colleges  dele 
gations  twice  as  large  as  were  sent 
to  the  Convention  at  Cleveland  in 
1898  have  been  appointed,  and  also 
by  the  plans  of  large  institutions  like 
Cornell  University  and  Yale,  where 
the  remarkable  record  of  1S98  is 
likely 
the 
to  be  exceeded.  Since 
delegates  are  to  be  entertained  by 
the  hospitality  of 
the  people  of 
Toronto, 
it  has  been  necessary  to 
limit  the  total  attendance  to  2,500, 
of  whom  2,000  will  be  students. 
F r om  present 
indications  it  is  ap 
parent  that  this  number  of  men  and 
women  from  fully  500 
institutions 
will  easily  be  reached—undoubtedly 
the  greatest  student  religious  gather 
ing  the  world  has  ever  seen.
