Secretary Taft has his limit

Secretary Taft has his limita-
tions. He insists that there is
no such thing as civilization pos
sible to the Filipinos till they
address one another in the Eng
fish language. He ought to
know a great deal better than if
he has read history. No nation
in the world has ever yet sue
ceeded in imposing it's language
on a colony either by a sword or
primer, How many centuries
has Spain occupied in trying to
teach the Filipinos Spanish? To
day it is not the familiar lang
uage of any portion of the arch

self. To insist upon stripping
them of their native tongue is an
astounding piece of madness. A
vernacular cannot be destroyed
until all race characteristics
perish.
