UNFIT FOR
SELF RULE
Declares Brother Of Chickasha Man
Who Arrives Here for Visit
After Spending Fifteen
Years on the Islands

That the natives Of the Philippines
are not fit for self-rule and never viii
be capable OF maintaining govern
ment OF their own. is the opinion Of S.
S. Weaver, who, after spending fifteen
years on the islands. arrived in chicka-
sha yesterday to visit his brother, John
G. Weaver.
Mr. Weaver went TO the islands as a
soldier and after his term OF enlist
ment expifed he remained, being en-
ployed in government work Of various
kinds and later he engaged in business
for himself. This is his first visit to
this country since he left fifteen years
ago. He started from Manila Novem-
Der IA and coming via China, Japan
and Honolulu. arrived at san Fran
cisco December H. After visiting rel
atives in America, he win return to
the islands.
There are S,0O0,OOO people on the
islands" said Mr. Weaver. and they
speak l27 dialects. "Of the total num-
Der 100000 are nominally Christians
while the remainder are savages. The
average Filipino has no idea OF loyalty
and is lazy to the limit The educated
Filipino's passion is to be a politician,
and the reason Why he wants to be in
politics is tocget a position in which
he can indulge his natural propensity
for grating The American schools
are doing good, but it is only thin
veneer OF culture which they can give
such people. Independence for the
islands is out Of the question Uncle
Sam must continue to hold them be
cause nothing else can be done unless
they were internationalized and | don't
believe that plan practicable"
