Two years ago there were 10000
American soldiers in the Philippines.
When the orders now given are car
ried out there will be only $4,000 men
there. Here is absolute proof that the
order transferring authority from the
military to the civil administration
was issued in perfect good faith, and
not, as we expect some bitter anti
imperialists will say merely as a poll
teal subterfuge. There can be no
doubt that civil authority is hereafter
to be supreme in the Philippines. AS
a result of the exchange of military
control for a civil government the
Filipinos will have a steadily in
creasing share. The new Philippine
government act holds out to the Fill
pinos the definite promise at a near
date of representative legislative as
sembly and of representation by dele
gates at Washington. A new era be-
gins for the Islands which for cen.
turtles suffered from Spanish oppres-
sion and cruelty but to which the
United States now brings such free
dom under law such rights and privi
leges and such possibilities of growth
and prosperity and political and
material wellbeing as was not even
dreamed of under the old order.

Mr.. Clement in his campaign speech
es calls attention to an increase in
state expenses, a decrease in the
value of farming lands and the crea-
ton of useless boards and commits

Baldwin says he was baffled, not beat
