CLIMATE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Health on the Islauds Depends Upon
the Resident.

Secretary Taft has suggested that
the newspapers can "help the Ameri-
can government in the Philippines by
denying the lies circulated about the
terrible climate there" In this good
work we gladly offer our cooperation.
The climate Of the Philippines is not
at all terrible. Many people live there
all the year round. AS climate the
Philippine article has much to recon-
mend It, The resident or visitor has
no uneasiness regarding his raiment.
He does not go to business in a linen
"duster" and curse himself OIL his way
home for not having carried an ulster.
In its reliability the Philippine eli
mate is endlessly the superior of our
American brand. The absence of snow
and frost is not necessarily a proof of
either uncomfortable or unwbolesome
conditions On the contrary. from time
1mmemorial the great majority of
world dwellers have been resident in
either tropical or subtropical regions,
and many have lived to ripe old age.
Health in the Philippines, in Cuba,
in Porto Rico and in all other similar
regions, barring those having vast
areas Of low-lying and mlsasmatic
marsh lands, depends primarily upon
the resident, upon his ability and read
mess to adjust himself and his habits
to his environment. The same law
holds in New York city with equal
force. In no place on earth may ma
ture's laws be violated or ignored with
impunity. Due obedience to those
laws in the Philippines or elsewhere,
will insure corresponding degree of
health, comfort and longevity. Those
to whom hot weather brings real ply
sical suffering, and there are such. will
do well to avoid the tropics or the edge
of them. But there are many who find
cold weather cause Of suffering and
who find real delight in n mean tenn
perature Of S5 degrees. The question
of heat and cold is largely a matter of
individual preference.
So far as salubrity is concerned
Secretary Taft is entirely right and
justified in decrying any attempt to
malign the climate Of our Philippine
possessions. Those who have the de-
sire to participate in the economic
development of the islands may 90
there entirely fearless of any climate
terrors, providing they will carry with
them modicum Of common SENSE
