General Arthur Macarthur.

Two weeks ago the whole country
was impatient for General Lawton TO
reach Manila. 1t expected him to be
placed in command OF the forces in the
field and that he would Immediately
capture or drive Aguinaldo's followers
into the thickets OF the hill country and
scatter them among the wild savages
that are supposed to be living there.
There seemed to be a home feeling
that General Lawton was the man for
that work and the only man to do it.
But THE NEWS has known all the
time that there was general on the
ground who could snatch victory from
Aguinaldo any day or on any battlefield.
1t has known that General Macarthur,
II given the liberty to move, would
drive him into the sea from the island
OF LuZon. The war has produced no
general officer with more dash and
courage than General Macarthur, and
his victorious movements toward the
insurgents headquarters at Malolos
warrant the statement.

1t may be that the address issued by
ippines will have the desired effect on
the native population, bringing the in
surgents to better understanding of
the policy OF the American govern
ment as bearing upon their welfare.
1t is pity, however, that an express
sion so authoritative should not have
been voiced at a sufficiently early mo-
ment to prevent the outbreak OF the
war now being waged in the islands.
to influence the Filipinoes to the ex.
tent of bringing about an early cessation
Of hostilities, il would have exercised
even more pronounced influence upon
native sentiment before blood had been
shed. The experiment should, at least,
have been made at that time.
In this country, also, definite ex-
preston from President Mckinley, en-
tightening the people as to the admin
istration's Philippine policy, was due
at the outset Of American occupancy
OF the islands. 1t may be that the
President is as earnestly and honestly
opposed to a colonial, or imperialistic,
policy as are the mass OF American
citizens, but the people received no
assurance to this effect. 1t may be that
he proposes to give to the F'ilipinoes
every opportunity Of proving their ca
pacity for self-government, but the peo-
pie have no pledge or promise to this
effect.
1t is now high time-especially II
peace Is impending in the Philippines
for the plain outlining OF the admin
istration's policy. Such course would
greatly facilitate and simplify the work
Of establishing the necessary provi-
5ional government in the islands. 1t
would also enable the people OF the
United States to more clearly compre-
bend and appreciate the administra-
tion's efforts on behalf Of the Filipi-
noes. Speaking in national, rather
than q political, sense, the President
OF the United States will never be q
loser by the exercise of frankness to-
ward his people.-Republic
