No Way to Stop This Trust.

For years and years the sugar trust

obedience to the demands of a tropical
climate, wears only gee string is IN
civilized, even though he may possess
many of the simpler virtues and a
kindly nature. Civilization would
seem to be merely a matter of out
ward form-just a veneer!

WHAT TAFT SAID THEN.
When Mr.. Taft was governor of the
Philippines he said, in speech at Ma
Mia: Should we wish the FiIipinos to
judge of Americans by the drunken
American loafers who infest the small
towns of these islands, living off the
labor of Filipino women? Should we
wish them to judge us by reading the
humiliating list of American official
and unofficial defaulters in these is
lands?"
These unguarded admissions dis
close only a small part of the evil
There are other than drunken
loafers,' says Lopez, Giving on the
fruits of Filipino labor. The dollar
catching genius of America has come
into competition with the Ienient
methods of the Filipino, and the little
brown brother is not onll despoiled of
his possessions, but held in derision
commercially and socially. The com
petition is so unequal as to amount
practically To legal robbery. And they
are all-from the plutocrat down to
the pander-bent on what? The uplift-
ing of the Filipino? Well hardly.
ONLY COURSE OPEN.
The only course open is for Amer
lea 10 withdraw ard leave us to work
out our own salvation. If left to our
selves We may fall into many errors
Like other countries, including Amer
lea, we may hove civil conflicts. and
We may do much wrong to ourselves.
But we shall never do a thousan,,vh
part of the wrong America has done
TO US"

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus,
Washington, Sept. 26.-That the de-
sire for education is universal among
the more than seven millions inhabi-
tants of the Philippines is asserted
by Sixte Lopez in alengthy article re-
Gently published on the subject OF
Philippine independence.
Every program of reform put forth
by the Fillipinos during the Spanish
regime included a demand for free
education" said Lopez, who shows
that the Philippine people are working
hard for and looking ahead for indie
pendence.
The anti-Imperialist league of Pos
ton, which is doing much good work in
the way of developing sentiment favor
able to early independence for the
Fillipinos, is sending the Lopez ar
ticle broadcast among the foremost
American thinkers.
ARE NO TsAVAGEs.
Lopez ridicule dwith severity the
idea still prevalent in the United
States thae the Filipinos are little
more than rowing bands of savages.
In the generally accepted sense
he says. there are no wild men in
the Philippines. There are some who
have not been brought under what
might be termed European civilization,
and who have not embraced the Chris
tan religion. Their customs and reli-
gion and mode of living differ from
those of the so-called civilized world,
but they are not wild in the sense OF
being timid or brutal or savage"
Lopez declares that the question OF
whether the sO-called wild tribes are
civilized depends on what the word
civilized means.
The standards Of civilization vary
and are often absurd" he says An

When Grant Was Beaten

vention and shout for their candi-
dates, wandered about the hotels,
eager 10 see the leaders Of their party.
Perhaps he thought to win favor for
Grant by treating the crowd with IN
usual affability. His entrance into the
convention hall was a studied per-
Torrance. Waiting until the opening
prayer had secured order, he moved
with a graceful stride down the long
aisle. his physical attractions display
ed 10 the best advantage. And. like
a popular actor coming upon the
stage, he got his round of applause.
But. once in his seat, he laid affa bility
aside. and, relishing the contentious
part Of Ais mission he allowed the
spirit Of domination full sway and by
sarcastic words and sneering tones
irriiated his opponents and alienated
wavering delegates whom different
tactics might have won TO his cause.
Nevertheless his leadership was efSec-
tive in holding the following of Grant
together without q break.
