AGUINALDO'S RULE.
Lying Nature of Stories CircuIated
by "Anti-ImperinIists" for
Political Effect

Nothing pleases the average Amer
lean in this Aguinaldo business so
much as the direct, positive evidence
it affords as to the lying nature of
the philippine facts" as presented
by the ridiculous anti-imperialists.
At one swoop their visionary crea-
tions, which they have endeavored to
have accepted as the truth, are
bowled over and are seen to have
been the boldest kind of deception
and deceit. Few men, posing as more
highly moral than their neighbors,
have ever tried more persistently
than the anti-imperialists to circulate
that which they must have known
was absolutely false. Their picture
of Philippine civilization was untrue
in general and inaccurate in details.
Maj. Gen. S. VI. B. Young, who has
just returned from Manila, says of
the natives, for instance:
"It will take at least two genera
tions to get the Filipinos to under
stand the meaning of self-govern-
ment as we understand it. The Fill
ipino ideal is to have the country
parceled out among the leaders, and
they to rule the people and get all
they can out of them"
This is something like the truth.
We must patiently lead the most
progressive and stimulate the back
ward and wait. And yet, as the Bos-
ton crowd saw it, we were criminal
because we did not throw the archi
pelago into the hands of the incipient
dictators and flighty, half-baked
Tagal leaders at once and let them
work their own sweet wlll.-Philadel-
phia Press
