TAFT ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Secretary Taft's avowed insular pol
icy of the Philippines for the Fill
pinos'' will be acceptable to the
friends of good government and will
be opposed only by the harpies whci,
inevitably cluster along the trail of
conquest. His administration Of af-
fairs during his governorship OF the
islands met strong public indorse-
ment and led up to the universal
approval which has greeted his Sc
lection for the war secretaryship. The
icy are not to be squeezed for the
benefit of American capitalists but
cultivated to the advantage of the Fill
pinos. The local interests of the is
lands are to be safeguarded whether
speculation makes one dollar or loses
ten. In this Mr.. Taft will have the
average citizen at his back. To I'LL
the Philippines with Chinese coolies
to the advantage of outside investors
ana the Qetrlment OIL the future de-
velopment of the Filipino people is in
Secretary Tafts opinion unwise and
in this the people will again agree with
him.
The new secretary appears to have a
lively sense of justice with the courage
and common sense to make 1t felt in
his administration. He is not looking
to the present in the Philippines more
than to their future. The Filipino must
be given time and aid to adapt him
self to his new conditions. One does
not learn freedom in day and during
the period OF development he must be
protected and assisted by the govern
ment which has assumed the burden
of his destinies. Justice should pre-
cede commercial advantage in the
Philippines and in Secretary Taft's EN-
inently satisfactory announcement of
his policy there is an assurance that jus
tice and not greed are to control the
future OF the colony.
