TREATMENT OF FILIPINOS
THE QUESTION 1VHAT IT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED BY AN AUTHORITY.

Phelps "Whitmarsh in Boston Transcript.
"In these distant islands, so favored by
nature, there has neither been' pressure
from' above nor any Interior or exterior
impulse: life has few discomforts and
few necessities- The Philippines are en
titled before all the countries of the world
to be called the 'Land of Jauja. One may
be well acquainted with the Italian dolce
far niente, and yet not understand thor
oughly the meaning of this phrase; It
must be studied under the palm trees
The following description of travels in
the provinces may give an idea of w,hat
the everlasting idleness is."
The writer of the above sentence un
doubtedly saw the Philippines with clear
eyes: but the statement, nevertheless. Is
a trifle too sweeping. Against the native
Idleness and lack of interior impulse there
has occasionally been some exterior stim
ulus brought to bear, and these excep
tions, as lessons in experience and good
eense, are worthy at least of remem
brance, if not of Imitation.
It Is related of a certain Gobernador
cillo and the story is a true one that,
seeing his fellow-citizens in a state of
misery and want. In spite of their being
In possession of uncultivated rice fields
he ordered a proclamation to be cried
publicly at the sound of a drum, as fol
lows: "The season of sowing is now here.
Any citizen who within four months has
not 500 bundles of rice in his house will
.positively suffer a penalty of eight days
In stocks."
On the following day the town was
changed. The streets were crowded with
men and "working animals. The aspect
of the fields was rapidly altered, and
at the end of the harvesting the poor
people were comparatively wealthy. Two
persons only suffered eight days In stocks.
This is a method which may appeal to
many as a. method of the past, but it
must be remembered that these people are
by no means abreast of the present. But
the Gobernadorclllo, being a native, lay
on his oars after this one good stroke,
and the villagers again lived for several
years quiet, asleep and hungry.
In another province a road was badly
needed to afford an outlet for the prod
uct of a rich hemp district There were
no funds for the purpose, nor even food
for laborers who might be pressed to
work, and the natives themselves would
do nothing. The Governor, who knew
the country well, and who also had the
interest of his province at heart, tfnally
took the matter up himself. Settling
upon a large tract of unappropriated
swamp land, he ordered that each town
should provide so many men and carabaos
to work it, and in less than six months
he turned the swamp into a large rice
plantation. After the grain had been
harvested, he had it placed along the
route of the proposed road, in order that
the tributary population should have food
while they ""worked. Thus the road was
built - v
Another Governor, of no less tact and
force, observing that a bridge was need
ed over a deep river. m an Important
highway, sent a circular letter to each
town in the province In the following
form: "It is necessary to build the bridge
at X, and therefore every citizen of this
province will present himself on the 20th
day of this month at the river crossing,
bearing a hewn stone. The Governor will
set the example by bringing a stone him
self." On the day agreed upon, amidst
music and cheers, more than 50.000
squared stones were piled upon the river
banks.
These are successful examples of the
way In which the Philippines in the past
have been ruled, administered and di
rected. The impulse of the early missionaries
brought about the cultivation of tobacco
In the islands, which industry "Vasco fie
Gama at once made a state monopoly.
This same General-Governor Introduced
the cultivation of Indigo, and would
doubtless have rooted the silk industry
here also, had he been spared. Unfortu
nately, he died a year after he took the
matter up, and the millions of mulberry
trees he had imported were allowed to
die.
From all we can see and learn of this
race, it Is sorely in need of direction,,
pressure. Impulse a mixture of fatherly
protection and energetic compulsion. The
Filipino Is like the boy who must bo ac
companied to school taken by the hand.
Laws made for other countries and other
peoples are quite useless and void here;
they must be made to suit the conditions
and the character of the race. It Is use
less, likewise, to send circular letters to
the provincial presldentes politely request
ing that such and such things be looked
Into and such and such improvements be
made. Unless such letters threaten to
fine or punish in some way those who
do not obey, they accomplish nothing. I
Tiave already seen the way in "which these
communications are treated. They are
read usually bv the presldente before
a number of members of the Municipal
Council amidst continual yawns and chew
ings of betel nut 'Then the official doc
ument Is left on the table: a gust of
wind carries it to the floor and the fol
lowing day the policeman on guard sweeps
lUwfciJXh the rubbish. In the time
- xt the Spaniards how many sermons were
lostT-"Hbw many sheets of bureaucratish
literature became the prey of local po
licemen! How many commissions! How
many requests! How many fatherly rec
ommendations after the tobacco monopoly
was abolished! By means of the last
measure the Philippines were to have
been saved, the archipelago was to have
been changed into the world center of to
bacco production: but nevertheless it has
not come about "Where tobacco was un
planted formerly It is unplanted now;
and where it is cultivated, the idleness
of the natives and. the methods of the
cunning Chinese buyer have combined to
make the Industry a disappointing one to
the grower Dry seasons play havoc with
the crops, and yet the native lacks sug
gestion to build a reservoir; even rice,
the b'ea of tre people. Is often short,
greatly to the profit of the French at
Saigon, who lnnd thousands of bushels
of the grain annually.
The kind fatherly laws of the Indies,
evolved by Spain, and still supposed to be
in operation, gave to each town the land
cal.ed "commonable league" for the com
mon profit of the people. Besides this,
every family was provided with land upon
which they were supposed to"plant useful
trees and keep a cock, .twelve hens, and a
female hog fit to breed.". A few dozen
banana trees, which need no carcare
ample, says a writer well acquainted with
tHe Islands, to pay the taxes of a family.
The fowls and female hog,, whose main
tenance Is of no Importance, provide
clothes and furniture; and If to this th
native adds, according to law. a small
plantation of coffee, cocoa, or cotton, he
can not only cover all his expenses, but
have an overplus of more or less Im
portance. Yet. simple and easy as is the life of
the dwellers In this "land ofJauJa." it
lacks governmental pressure to arouse
the geneial native apathy, carelessness
and objection to work. It is for the
. want of tutela pressure that the theoret
ically good Spanish laws have long since
fallen into disuse, end the lands, the trees,
the hens and the female hog have fallen
from the hands of the people. The cock
alone is preserved, for the combats in
which he takes place afford amusement
for thft native.
The Spaniards have proyed beyond aU
doubt that it is not sufficient in this coun
try to have pretty laws; they must be
suitable for their application. Initiative,
pressure, impulse, continual and energetic
stimulus is necessary for these people
srhose character is largely indifference,
drowslnss, organic and psychic slowness.
English and Dutch study and know the
races they control, and-.we must do the
same. We 'must notbe like the Span
iards, of whom It is related that a cer
tain Secretary of the Colonies once sa
luted by cable .the Philippine provincial
corporations, which never existed, not
even in the Imaginary world.
The Dutch possess, almost at the door
of the Philippines, the Important colony
of Java, with a people of similar race, and
three times the number of inhabitants.
And the Hollanders, with characteristic
observation and common sense, made a
study of their new subjects from the be
ginning. They established schools for
their colonial officials and created a new
and suitable government At present, and
for many years past all functionaries ol
the Dutch colonial government study pre
viously In special schools "the art of
treating the natives." By this means,
by following the rules of the "Adat" in
their dealings with the Malays, they learn
not only the peculiarities of the race they
are to control, but also how to control
them. They learn to preserve their own
personal prestige and also that of the
motherland.
The Spaniards, with Latin impracticabil
ity, had no system. Any man with suffi
cient influence could obtain a colonial.
office, and as a result their colonization
was a failure.
Everyone, whether civil or military,
whether in possession of credentials or
without them, whether representing the
country which produces and pays or
which cpmmands and collects, everyono
Is blind when he arrives here. Some peo
ple, moreover, come here without hear
ing; 4eaf to everything but their own
prejudices and preordinations; and with
these the disease Is often- Incurable or,
at least needs' long and laborious treat
ment No man is capable of governing
wisely In these Asiatic islands who has
.not previously fitted himself for his work
by studying the peculiar characteristics
of the land and the race; and no man Is
capable of doing so much harm as he
who comes here believing that he knows
it alL
In somo of the British colonies "the art
of treating the natives" has been recog
nized to the extent of appointing a "Min
ister of relations with the natives."
The monastic corporations, with all the
amassed experience of permanent socle
ties, havo proceedings for their neophytes
which resemble Dutch and Anglo-Saxon
wisdom. In their Spanish colleges, they
have not, as far as we know, any theo
retical teachings; they have not put their
observations Into a doctrine or their
knowledge into textbooks. For reasons of
their own, they have kept their experi
ence to themselves. But the young Le
vltes who up to the present have been
thrown periodically Into Manila, were not
allowed to take charge of the humblest
parish, nor even permitted to take holy
orders, until they had been grounded in
native character. For the first two or
three years of their residence here they
were made "companions" of old friars,
whose long stay in the islands had given
them a wealth of experience. In the
company of these masters and aided with
peculiar grammars, .the friars caused to
be studied one or two native languages
and "the art of treating the natives."
They learned -what to advise, how to ob
serve and the way to command; so that
by the time they were sent to a parish
they were able to understand their parish.
lonerr and thus control them.
This is the main reason why the friars,
in spite of their inferior breeding and low
er origin, and with all officialdom against
them, succeeded in ruling the Philippines.
Had the Spaniards gone through such an
apprenticeship, they might never have
lost their colony; and if American officials
could be put through a similar course,
peace and good government would be has
tened. Then the Judges, who are now
obliged to act through the medium of a
native interpreter, would not translate af
firmatives Into negatives. Then the young
officials, who at present go to country
towns and find themselves unable to per
form their duties because of the language
barrier, would not make spectacles of
themselves. It would do away, moreover,
with numberless Impediments of dally
occurrence, caused by the lack of Intel
lectual communication, which Inevitably
spreads darkness where light should pre
vail. But aside from the matter of dialect
the Dutch are right in other ways. The
government of a people part semi-clvil-lzed
and part savages, the education and
control of this passive race of very spe
cial conditions. Is of profound Interest to
the country which has adopted the race
and must therefore be responsible for it
To govern, to administer, to command in
a military way or to perform any public
function in the Philippines is not In
the least like governing, administering or
commanding in the United States or in
the very much more advanced islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico. Everything In the
Philippines Is radically and absolutely
distinct; everything is of an exceptional
nature.
Cuba Is an Occidental island. Inhabited
by a mixed race of Europeans and Afri
cans, and is without a vestige of aborig
inal stock. Cuba has one common lan
guage. It has been thoroughly "Span
lshed" for more than a hundred years In
all parts; and in some parts It has been
sensibly Americanized. The Philippines,
on the other hand, are purely Oriental;
they are peopled for the most part by in
digenous tribes of Malay origin, one
third of whom are barbarians, some
tame and some wild; and they are com
plicated by some 40 or 50 distinct lan
guages. The wisest statesman or the
greatest general who conies to the Phil
ippines without a previous knowledge
of the Asiatic, and particularly the Ma
lay character, must become as much of
an apprentice as the humblest of his
subordinates.
If the powers that be could visit this
archipelago and by coming Into Immediate
contact with this race could study its
manner of living and being, its moral
constitution and Its many idlosyncracies,
they perhaps would see the advisability
of our foreign "officials learning, as the
Dutch do, "the art of treating the na
tives." And perhaps they would think
that the shortest way to this accomplish
ment would be to send an Intelligent com
mission to The Hague in order to study
there the texts, programmes and oral
teachings; and, later, to send this same
commission or another to Java to see the
practical result of such teachings. After
so much study and travel, the powers
that be perhaps would consider it ad
vantageous to establish some such pre
paratory system for the American offl
clals of our Malayan possession, as the
Dutch have done in their colony. And
If the powers that be should not arrive
at this conclusion. I shall still respect
fully disagree with them, and may the
powers that be pardon, me.
I don't believe m prlncerple.
