The Filipinos' Future

Of government. an art which our
people taught themselves by the labor
Of q thousand years. cannot be grasped
IN a day by people only just emerging
from conditions Of life which our ances-
tors left behind them in the dim years
before history dawned- We believe that
we can rapidly teach lhe people of the
Philippine Islands not only how to en-
JOY, but how to make good use OF. their
freedom; and with their growing knowl-
edge their growth in government
shall keep steady pace.
When they have thus shown their
capacity for real freedom by their power
of government. then. and not till
then, viii it be possible to decide wheth-
eT they are TO exist independently OF US
OF be knit TO Us by ties Of common
friendship and Interest
When that day vi come il is not
in human wisdom nov to foreteH All
that We can say with certainty is that it
would be put back an Unreasonable dis
tance if we should yield to the counsels
OF unmanly weakness and turn loose the
islands, to see our victorious foes butch
er with revolving cruelty our betrayed
friends. and shed the blood Of the most
humane, the most enlightened, the most
peaceful, the wisest and the best Of
their own numbeT-for these are the
classes who have already learned to
welcome our rule.
Nor, while fully acknowledging our
duties to others, need We forget our
duty TO our own country. The Pacific
seaboard is as much TO us as the At
Iantic; as we grow in power and pros
perity so our interests will grow in that
farthest west which is the immemorial

ing in the Philippines When there is
talk Of the crueIties committed in the
Philippines remember always that by
far the greater proportion of these cru
elites have been committed by the in
surgents against their own people-as
we'll as against our soIdiers-and that
not only the surest tut the only effec-
tual way of stopping them is by the
progress Of the American arms. The
victories Of the American army have
been the really effective means of put
ting a stop to cruelty in the Philippines.
Wherever these victories have been
cOmpIete-and such IS now the case
throughout the greater part of the ISL
auds-all Cruelties have ceased. and the
native is secure IN his life, his liberty,
and his pursuit of happiness. Where
the insurTection still smolders there is
always a chance for cruelty TO show it
self.
Our soldiers conquer; and what is
the object for which they conquer To
/ establish a military government? No.
The laws we are now endeavoring to
enact for the government of the Philip
pines are to increase the power and do

military authorities. and to render even
more difficult than in the past the

cur troops in the field are the rules laid
down by Abraham Lincoln when you,
my hearers, were fighting for the Union.
These rules provide, OF course, for the
just severity necessary in war The most
destructive of all forms of cruelty would
be to show weakness where sternness
is demanded by iron need. But all cr-l 81
" is forbidden, and all harshness De
yond what is called for by need. Our
enemies II the Philippines have not
merely violated every rule Of war. but
have made Of these violations their only
method of carrying on the war We
would have been justified by Abraham
LiacoIn's rules of war in infinitely
greater severity than has been shown.
The fact really is that our warfare in
the Philippines has been carried on with
singular hJu-anity- For every act Of
cruelty BY our men there have been in

Freedoms Banner
Borne by the Army

But our armies do more than bring
peace. do more than bring order They
bring freedom. Remember always that
the independence OF a tribe or a com
munity ray, and often does, have moth
ing whatever TO do with the freedom OF
the individual in that tribe or commun-
ity. There are now in Asia and Africa
scores of despotic monarchies, each Of
which is independent. and in no one Of
which IS there the slightest vestige Of
freedom for the individual man Scant
indeed is the gain to mankind from the
independence Of a bIOod-stained tyrant
ho rules over abject and brutalized
slaves But great is the gain to human
=ty which follows the steady though
SLOW introduction Of the orderly liberty
ne Iaw-sbidiDg freedom Of the indi-
vidcaI which is the only sure founda-
ton upon which national independence
can he built. Wherever in the Philip
pines the insurTeCtion has been definite
Iy and finally put down. there the indi-
vidual Filipino already enjoys such free
dom such personal liberty, under our
rule, as he could never even dream of
unde- the rule OF an independent Ag-
uinaIdian oliga-chy.
