THE SUBJECT
covers so large a
upon. which
field,
I have been asked to write
has been treated by such able
many changes have been rung upon
pens, and so it,
authorities have " hewn straight to the line " in following the
instructions of the President of the United States, when he says :
" That in all cases the municipal officers who administer the local affairs of the
people are to be selected by the people, and that wherever officers of more extended
jurisdiction are to be selected in any way, natives of the Islands are to be preferred,
and if they can be found competent and willing to perform the duties they are to
receive the offices in preference to any others."
To the average reader figures are a bore, but they are far
more potent than words, and I shall introduce a few to show
what the civil authorities have done in the Philippines along
some lines in the last twenty-four months, to be set against the
sad lists of military casualities which burdened the American
heart as they were flashed to the homeland for so long a time.
During the period from Sept. 1, 1900, to Sept. I, 1902,
the United States Philippine Commission has held 224 public
sessions and 411 executive sessions, the record of the former
filling 1,460 typewritten pages and of the latter 1,174, a total
ploys 475 men, and has discharged 190 of these in the last six
months, 180 of whom resigned, in greater part to accept better
positions in private life or in other offices. It will be readily
seen that if the same ratio of discharges continues for the next
six months that 82 per cent, of the force will have to be re-
newed in the period of one year. A problem this which cries
aloud for solution.
Space forbids a more detailed statement of what America has
done in the Philippines, but one thing is certain These Islands :
to a realization of the fact that they best serve the public who
forget themselves.
America has been already long enough in the Philippines to
show the inhabitants of these fair Islands that the men from
the Occident came to the Orient in no repellant guise, but as
friends who would share with them the blessings of liberty.
The natives, as a fact, have known two Americas. The
America they knew through the armed forces of the United
States, they respected the America they came to know
;
through the civil agents of the United States, they admire, and
in the process of time — let us hope — will revere.
