PROFESSION AND PRACTICE IN THE PHILIP.
Dimes

Our earnest effort" says President Roosevelt in
that part Of his to congress which treats of
the Philippines lis to help these people upward along
the stony and difficult path that leads to sefgovern-
ment" II President Roosevelt not utterly desti-
tute Of humor the lack Of which quality he shown
more than in his career, he would not employ
language in justification of the administration which
sounds like democratic irony.
Here is another example, At little further along in
his message he says: our aim is high. We do not
desire to do for the islanders merely what has been
done for ropic peoples by the best foreign govern.
ments We hope do for them what has never before
been done for people of the tropicsto make them
for self after the fashion OF the really
free nations" Is there not unconscious humor of a
somewhat grim sort in this? Consider this declaration
and then consider the facts we proceeding to
ct the Filiplnos for seltgovernment by sending our
soldiers shoot them to continue to shoot them
until they submit to authority.
We doing this, the president assures us, with
dsinterested zeal" There need be the slightest
fear he continues "of not continuing to give them
all the liberty for which they Mt" an other words
there is not the slightest chance OF failing to show
sufficiently humanitarian spirit The danger comes
in the opposite direction" But while we will do
everything in power for the Filipino who is peace
ful, will take the sternest measures with the Fill
pino who follows the path of the insurreco and the
ladrone"
Is not this example Of man dressed in little
brief authority who plays such fantastic tricks be-
fore high heaven makes the angels weep?" The
president approves the sending of the United States
army to the Philippines to give the inhabitants self
government shooting the Filpnos to teach them lib
ertN and establishing government over them
against their viii that they may he free. All Of which
we do with disnterested zeal" and sufficiently hui
mantarian spirit"
This is strange profession and strange practice.
The reason OF the practice is plain enough. 1t crops

ayowed. They are very rich tropical islands," says
the president, The vast natural wealth of the
islands, he says in another place. must be devel
