FlLiPlNos AND INDEPENDENCE.

The future of any people is 10 be
judged only by its past development
and its present environment The
likelihood of the Filipino peoples
maintaining themselves as an indie
pendent national entity and the char
acter of the government that would
develop, If maintenance be possible,
are to be judged only in the same
way. The capacity of the Filipinos.
like any other people, is TO be shown
by their blood. their training, and
their experiences. According to George
Henry Shelton, who has an article on
the subject in the January number
of the North American Review, each
of these denies successfully present
capacity for selt-government; each of
them laughs at republican forms. Pri-
marily the Filipinos are tropical peo-
pies. And Mr.. Shelton points out
that nowhere have tropical people YET
carried self-gorernment to success.
The authority quoted comedies that
a people easily led may be easily
governed. The United States since
the establishment of civil government
has found few practical difficulties in
governing the Fflipinos. But, he in
sists. easy control of peoples easily
sd is dependent upon the number
and power of leaders. For leader
ship, for progress in any line, there
must be always energy and initiative.
And unfortunately no one has testi-
fed to the possession of energy and
initiative by the F'ilipinos. No one
can-the Filipinos DO not possess
them; they lack them utterly.
Mr.. Shelton says that independence
for the Philippines now would not
mean independence for the Filipinos:
1t would mean unchecked power for
the mestizos. Republican forms of
government would not, with indepen-
dence, mean republican government:
they would mean unchecked control
by the mestizos-for SO long as the
Chinese mestizos could dominate the
others and agree among themselves
rms is not meant harshly. There ara
good mestizos. many of them, and
bad mestizos, perhaps in the SINE
Mestizos are no different
IN this respect than the rest of MS
And there is probably no doubt that.
In unfettered control, they would pro-
vide better government for the Philip
pinss than the voiceless host of pure
bioods could hope to create. Only IT
would not be republican-and it would
not last.
