A Nation of Children.

In conversation with Secretary Taft
before my last visit to the Philippines.
says Willard French in the August
Lipplncott's, he combined the people
in the only quality where they stand
on common ground when he said,
"They are distinctly childish. whimsi-
cally, often unreasonably. childish.
sometimes obstinately childish" II
is the result of superficial Christianity
and partial subjugation. through 800
years of Spanish dominion. upon a
groundwork Of Oriental barbarism.
The native of the east especially under
the influence Of Latin races, becomes
secretive. hiding his own opinions and
apparently agreeing with any one
whom he must consider a superior. a
tendency which has caused many mis-
conceptions in Anglo-Saxon minds.
More began with our merchants and
soldiers. in the early days when the
little brown men were fighting for a
cause which they only knew what a
few interested leaders told them. They
did 1t with a courage demanding adj
miration, but by methods OF their own
which seemed TO us infringsments up
on the dogmas of The Hague. We
began by considering every Filipino a
treacherous enemy. and continue treat
ing them so to this day. BY instinct
and interest large class of Americans
are opposed to every effort establish
ing and defending the rights of the
natives, and are eager to create and
lndorse conceptions of their unworthi-
ness; while the Filipino has also had
opportunities. and may have profited
by them. to form opinions of Amori-
cans from the drunken, truculent LOAF
ers who infest the coast-towns, living
on the labor of native women; or they
may have gauged our standards OF
honesty by the humiliating list OF Off
clal and unofficial defaulters among
Americans on the Islands. and the
times they have been cheated by our
countrymer.
