most of the towns organized unde.. 1-iI- iJary authority for municipal admin istration, schools have received irnue- Giate attention. and as the work SO faf
 accomplished has been to great e,l- tent i1 consequence of native initiative. the result encourages the hope that the rcCeue-atiGE of the islands and the constructive work of establishing civil institutions according to the American icel will be V5rg rapidly accomplished whc. the armed iusUrceGt is coupietz- iy eliminated from the problem.
 1 This alruUst universal aspiration rol l education should appeal strongly to American sympathy; and the more sTy- Ciiic but earnest desire Go learn the

 General 1'acAIthur was bold in ex- pressing h.s deliberate conviction that
 t DriEh; futc:e awaits the islands Ur- der American rule. Ills words on the subject are not only an inspiration. but ,hoy show that he has a u-ind capable of -raspiLE a situation which has failed to impress its=lc s-ron the E-e-tll vision of many politicians who ina zine they are statesmen. The wnrshippers of the ghost despair should read these words uf the general on the fUtura of the
 Philippine.
 From the present posture of affairs ic is Inevitable that the expression o1 -tm'r.c-A power in the ,EEilipqinas u.C-t result il plcCti-E republican in stiLutirl= throughout the aIch:pela-o. accompanied ,y all the safeguards or personal. political and religious liberty which alone are possible under the aus pices of the constitution of the United States. From this premise the con ciCsi9- is unavoida bic that in ultimate form che archirelago viu sooner OF later assume the appearance O. one or . more seIr-supporti- ooumouweIlths with 9 population aJtGched to their in Etitut.Cur and cup. bie Of ~0aiula;Iln-- . the same. even h the improbable event e. the withdrawal of the creative power.

These people, for tu0steiy. are intelligent, generous and fisSible. ard will probably yield quickly and with absolute confidence to tuition and advice when thoroughly informed of American institutions and purposes. ''As future thought i1 the same di- Tection. it may be suggested that the Aryan races are making their way back into the old continent, which as a consequence is likely. within a gener- ation more. to become the theatcr of gigantic political activities. Up to this time. the practical effect of republican institutions has not been considered in this connection; but the apid extension or republican civilization in these isl aUds. which is not only possible, but probable, must or necessity exert an active and potential influence upon the rffaira Of Asia: which. under the iu- | spiration of American ideas, transmit
