...Haven on Saturday, the Harvard eleven after fighting heroically to the last ditch against a team vastly superior in strength of attack and general knowledge of football, was defeated by Yale 12 to 0. One touchdown was scored in each half, the first after Yale in twenty-eight minutes of actual play had three times rushed the ball nearly half the length of the field, against an increasingly stubborn defense; the second after a blocked kick by Harvard late in the second half.

But the treaty was ratified and as a result the Philippines became American territory. Thus the Democratic party is equally responsible with the Republican for the annexation of the Philippines. There are three solutions to the Philippine problem. First, we can fit the islanders for statehood and admit them to the Union. This, however, is scarcely feasible. Secondly, we can hold them as subjects without constitutional rights. In the third place, we can endeavor...
