a situation not only unexpected, but
entirely without precedent But even
at that early day there we're few who
saw clearly the responsibility thrust
upon the country Among these
President Mckinley was one. Mr..
Taft was another. Mr.. Taft had been
opposed to taking the islands. He was
opposed to retaining them. More

American benefit lie believed that
the Philippines belonged to the Fill
pinos and should be developed in the
interest Of their own people.

FiipinoS, and when he offered a STU

licvcd his duty lay with the people
whom he had led to believe in him as
the REORGANIZATION OF American JUS

President see it too. How the Fill
piups felt was shown when on hearing
OF the danger that MIR TAFT might be
called away from Manila they flocked

begged him not To 90 When ulti-
matcly he did leave the islands il was
