 Filipino nature is but human na-
 ture bound in brown. The binding

 have ide8lized the helpless Malay and
 endowed Jim with attributes almost
 divine. They know nothing about
 him; hence this second transdgura-
 tion Distance has this advantage,
 that 1t permits ignorance to glOrify
 and adore.
 Why not look at this new brother
 of CUTS through the lens of common
 sense? He is a barbarian and is ig-
 norance pers0nifed. He is the four

 tUpBed The Filipino lacks character, which is the visible side of cons1ience- the fragrance, the beauty. Conscience is the plant, character the flower. Con science is the dynamo, character the
 pure white light.
 A great hue and cry is being raised over American action in the Philip pines today. and by noble men and WO- men, too. They shout for liberty and Independence and self government aa though these things would bring all peace, content, prosperity. They for get in their zeal that ignorance cannot be free, that ignorance is only ali- other name for slavery. and that men tai slavery is narrow. despotic, cruel. These dark brothers have come to Us through the providence Of Gcd and the courage cf Dewey, and it is Cur duty to | 1 them gently, like little clii- dren, out of their ba-barisu into broader life with larger opportunities.

I am not one to go into ecstaciCs cf thrillinz horror over the treatment of she red man. His fate was self invited. Fate does not intrHde: he is 3 dog that does CCr bidding.

Fer every wrong done him the Indian has t scalp; for every crime he feriliZed inc soil with paIe-face blood: for every bullet he sHapDed an arrow. f0- every gallOvs a burning stake.

 Despite the warning ssriol5s of the | CaIneSies and Germans and HaIes to l beware, to pause. t0 halt in our mad l career Of expansion.
