Testimony Of a Reformed "Anti."

One of the ntst significant pieces of
testimony introduced this week before
the committee OF the Philippines was
that of A. LesterHazlett who was sent
to the islands by the w. C. T. u. to
investigate and rtport upon the moral
conditions in Malila and elsewhere.
His report is a cmplete refUtation of
the changes so freely made that Manila
under American RUE had become hell
on earth. Mr.. Hazett went out to the
islands possessed 4 whatever preju-
dices might naturally be supposed to
be associated with such a mission.
He went out, also, In ardent anti
expansionist. After three months
spent~in personal observations in the
islands. he has returned with his
views corrected upon both points.
AS to moral condition., in Manila, he
says:
Il did not find Mania to be in the
strictest sense a moda city. but can
truthfully say that, in my Judgment,
it is the peer of any american city
OF equal population in the matter of
cleanliness and order, Ind l believe
its moral tone to be su,h as to fairly
challenge comparison With our best
cities of 400, 900 populati,n.''
With reference to the character of
the natives, the future }: the islands
and the policy of the administration,
Mr. Hazlett says, with perfect cam
dor:
Il went to the islands an ardent
anti-expansionist; 1 retur1 a firm be-
lever in the policy of the admins
tration. 1 frankly confess that L had
a wrong idea of conditions in the
archipelago. I believed ne people
ready for self-government now
know that while some of hem are,
the great mass of the peore are not
capable of it; but they will be, and
that, perhaps, before a generation
shall have passed. The Filipino is
fully as bright as the Japaiese; they
learn quickly and are extremely
anxious to acquire. The Philippine
archipelago will some day bt a great
Commonwealth of States. Ne are
laying foundations for naibn that
may even outlast our own. We owe
it to the future, to the unbo,n citi-
zens of this coming republic, hat we
lay well the cornerstone of TIN super
structure. There is strong ihd in
tiuential peace party among be ma
| tives, and the antipathy to American
! rule has been greatly exaggerated"
His experience has been that 4 many

idea to raise a fund and send ID the

Some of them are probably incurable,
but most of them would doubtless re

Street Improvement.

Several weeks ago we called attention TO
the wasteful practice of Council in continu-
ing the use of gravel as road making
material, because of the certainty OF its
being washed away. We have had an
object lesson in this within the past six
weeks Mr. Batten resurfaced High street
early in July, and last week he was obliged
to repeat the operation because the rains
had carried it away. A single application
of stone there would have made perma-
nent and lasting improvement, and we
hope to be of some service in bringing to
the attention of taxpayers, and, Council,
too, the futility of ever having good streets
in Woodbury. while the street appropria-
tions are swallowed up in buying and
spreading gravel and ashes.
Mr. Batten in communication to the
Times, acknowledges that
s'With three foot gutter we will have to pile
up dirt there every time there is hard rain. II
he, (Mr. Carpenter) would put down decent
gutter, say four to six feet wide, perhaps the
others would follow"
We had no idea of being personal in our
comments, but as Mr.. Batten has made us
party to the controversy, we gladly accept
the position. If Mr. Carpenter would ex-
tend his gutter to the middle of the street
there would be that much cobble pavement
on High street. But that would not be
desirable, because it would be out of har-
mony with adjoining CUTTERS, and we hope
we are not cranky enough to become a
nuisance to our neighbors.
If Mr.. Batten had placed half as much
small stone on High street as he has gravel
the improvement would have been perma-
nent and he, or the taxpayers, would not
have to pile up dirt there every time it
rains
