AGUINALDO BECOMES
4 PRACTICAL FARMER
Former Filipino Chief Settles Down to the Simple Life
Yet Is Popular With His People-Attended Re-
ception to the Taft Party

hall he attracted quite as much atten-
ton as the Secretary of War himself.
"Aguinaldo never was really great
man He is not a genius in any sense
of the term, but is crafty, cruel and
unscrupuIous The strongest evidence
of greatness he ever portrayed has been
since he retired to private life His
conduct has been such as 10 more hrmly
establish his hold upon the people he
his quietly settled down to the simple
life of farmer, and in spite of the
efforts to heap honors upon him he has
held aloof.
THE American domination of Filipino
n FAIRS has been so thoroughly estab-
iished that the natives have all come
TO accept 1t as a matter OF course. Talk
of a future insurrection is sheer rot.
