TAFT. SAYS HE OPPOSED
TAKING THE PHILIPPINES

81 did not favor our going to the
Philippines 7 was sorry az the time
that we got them. But We are there
see no other possible means OF dis
charging that duty which chance has
put upon US than TO carry out the
plan which suggest. Any other plan
would carry us back TO where we now
are.
4 am not disposed TO ccncede, as
yet. that. because there are dangers
Of corruption and a possibility OF lail-
ure in the agents who are 20 be sent
out there. We are not equal to the
task.
'I believe that the American Gov
ernment and the American people are
exceedingly adaptable. We have had
the experiments Of other nations in
dealing with people like these, and,
with no other course before us that I
conceive possible, 1 think We should
not be justified IN throwing these peo-
pie back into absoIutism.
These are the statements made today
by Civil Governor Taft in this testimony
before the Senate Committee on the
Philippines
Governor Taft began three weeks ago
his exposition on conditions in the
islands. and with the exception Of a few
days spent in New York city last week TO
consult a physician. has been testfyiug

I-s made many frank admissions regard

Replying to questions Of Dir. Rawlins
Of Utah as to dangers from corrupt
Americans holding oflce in She Philip
pine Islands. Governor Taft admitted the
possibility Of such things and made the
statements FIRST quoted. Nr. CuIberson
Of Texas then asked:
Suppose YOU reverse the case and i'm

undertake TO force upon the people of the
United States their Ian. uagc, their civ
ilizati0u and their laws OF the grounds
that they were better suited to us thar
our own. what would you say about that2''
Governor Taft-Do yoG think that that
helps the question: should certainly
resist.
Mr. Culberson-So supposed.
The plan Of the Philippine Commission.
Governor Taft said. was 10 convince the

KRONPRINZ WILHELM

the Entire Trip Across the Allan

SOUTHAMPTON. Feb. 17--Ninety miles

coni operator on the Kronprinz Wilhelm
sent the wireless message:
"All we'll. weather fine, sea smooth
This is the first message in the attempt
which will be made TO keep the steam
snip on which Prince Henry is voyaging
to New York in touch with the land all
the way from Southampton to Sandy Hook.
Three Narconi operators were put on
the Kronprinz for this purpose
They viii try 10 keep in communica-
tion with the wireless station al Poldhu,
Wales, until they are brought in touch
with the operators at Nantucket.
Two incidents occurred aboard the
Kronprinz during her trip from Bremer-
haven TO this port which exempIify Prince
Henry's democracy. and at the same
time his strict regard for etiquette.
Vice Admiral Eisendecher was not
added to the Princes encourage until
after the rooms for the party had been
allotted Accordingly when the vice ad-
miral arrived aboard the steamer it was
found he would have 20 be assigned to a
small cabin
When the Prince learned this. be gave
his suite 10 Eiscndecher. while he moved
20 the captains quarters.
Then Prince Henry discovered shat the
North German Lloyd official had taken
precedence by giving a better room TO
General Won PIessen than to Admiral Won
Tirpitz.
The Prince Strengthened matters out on
Saturday night at dinner by requesting
Won Tirpitz 90 sit at his right at tho
table.

aims Of the Philippine Commission was
TO give to the Filipino a common language

means they would breathe in the spirit Of
Anglo-Saxon liberty.

Governor Taft said. Il think il would

thing secured BY the bill Of rights. except
the right to bear arms. and the right 10

that they themselves would ask for the
right 10 bear arms among a people in

the United States TO hold those islands

DO you mean to say" Mr.. Allison
queried, that the Fuipinos are not pre-
pared to maintain nationality Of their
own; or do you also mean that they are
not able 70 protect domestic trade
throughout the islands,"
Governor Taft mean both. They are
neither able TO maintain a stable ma
tional government; nor are they able 10
maintain a government in a domestic
point Of view, stable enough u protect
life and property.
Mr. AIlison-And you are preparing
them for thate
Governor Taft-We hope that we are
preparing them for a government in
which the rights of the minority viii be
protected by the maiority-an idea which
has obtained. as vet. IN the minds Of the
very few We have hope that. with the
initiative character Of the people. with
their real desire for Improvement lshown
especially by their anxiety to learn Eng

out our experiment and justify our course,
even though history has heretofore Of
fered no example Of the establishment OF
popular government with the Malay race.

where the congress is being held
Il looked like a huge family reunion to
see the visiting Daughters as they cor
daily greeted one another after a years

Washington. Little groups Of delegates,
OF one State or another. were 10 d. seen
cougregated at various places throughout
the auditorium discussing In animated
manner the measures TO be brought up
for deliberation at this congress.
To Reduce Representation.
The main topic OF discussion among
the majority Of the members seemed to
be the question OF cutting down the rep
resentatiou OF delegates 20 the congress.
In this respect there appears 10 prevail
a decided difference Of opinion among the
members
The administration adherents appear to
be favoring the amendment providing for
a reduction Of representation. while Mrs
Donald Mclean. OF New York. IS at the
head Of a strong following that Will
champion the retaining Of full representa-

Placing the Delegates.
The places intended for the various
State delegations were marked By small
blue banners suspended from wooden
spears. and bearing in large silver print
the names Of the various States. This in
novation is quite an Improvement over
the old system Of cards tackled TO the
seats

the GOor Of the hose during The opening
exercises and the reading OF the address
OF welcome and response created eonsid-
cradle amusement among the members
who desired 70 know II these men are

The members were not very prompt in
taking their places in the house when the
time for the opening had arrived, but

into the hall at pleasure while the address

considerable noise. but the strong and
