the instincts of tyranny, the worst
characteristics of the slave-driver, are
developed in the average man who
finds his fcllowmen under his TN
checked control" In this sentence this
officer has put his finger on the main
reason why no man is good enough to
rule another against his will, as Lin
coin put it. When he is transferred to
the Philippines, if he has not already
been. he will recognize the same utti-
ttlde on the part of the invaders to-
ward the invaded. and it will doubt
less find the real reason why our "higll-
er Utilization" offers no attractions to
the Filipinos. After such treatment of
the Chinese by the disciples of the
Prince of Peace, as is reported from
all sides. we do not see how any mis-
sionary could have the heart to at
tempt further conversions to Christian
ity. The Chinese need but point to
the campaign of 1900 to seal his lips.
