Climate in Philippines.
From the Portland Oregoniar

When the treaty with Spain by which
We acquired the Philippines was under de-
bate in 1898 ex-United States Senator Ed
munds in public speech affirmed that the
climate Of those islands was so fatal to
a white man that no American could ex-
pect to live there and bring up family.
At that time the Oregonian quoted the
fact that Englishmen had lived many years
in a worse climate, that of tropical India !;
that Macaulay was able to do hard legal
work even in Calcutta when the mercury
stood at 96 degrees above zero; that Thack-
cray was born In India, where his parents
had lived for many years, and that Lord
Roberts had campaigned over forty years
In India. Secretary of War Taft is over
six feet and weighs 800 pounds-not a
very good subject to endure tropical
climate-and yet he returned from the Phil
ippines In perfect health. and he suggests
that the newspapers can help the Amer
lean government by denying the lies circus
lated about the terrible climate there"
OF course, no man of common sense fails
to adjust himself and his habits to his
environment. No man wears the same
clothing In winter or summer in western
Oregon that he would wear in western
Massachusetts,. There are vast areas of
country in the United States where no
white man can live long because of ma
laria. Neither the bottom lands Of the
Mississippi nor the swamps of South Caro-
lina where negroes can live are healthful
for a white man. There are, doubtless,
Africa, in India and in the Philippines; but
it is not necessary that white men should
pick out a patch of malarial country for a
homestead.

callers who were unfamiliar with the South
