J. Dean Butler Tells of Deplor
able Conditions in Philip
pine Islands.
ACTS LEADING TO WRECK
Depression of Business, Want, Suf
fering and Inefficiency In Gov
ernmental Affairs Are Held
Due to New Policy.
Far-reaching havoc wrought by the
Democratic Administration in its gov
ernment of the Philippine Islands is
irraDhlcallv described by J. Dean But
ler, who has -Just returned from the
Orient after spending more than a
year, where he had ample opportunity
to study Philippine conditions.
Depression of business, and want.
suffering and lack of efficiency due to
the displacement of Americans by 1 l
ipinos, have followed the appointment
of Governor-General Harrison, ne main
tains. The writer is the son of Or
vllle Butler, of Folic County, the scion
of a pioneer family of Oregon. He is
a graduate of the law department of
the University of Oregon and nas Deen
in Governmental service in educational
lines and in private practice in the
Philippines. With Mrs. Butler, who
was a graduate of the department of
medicine of the Oregon University, ne
was planning a tour of Japan, India
and Europe, but was forced to give it
up because of alarming war prepara
tions. 'Change Beyond Comprehension."
Concerning the maladministration of
the Philippines, Mr. Butler writes:
"Americans who have not visited the
Philippine Islands cannot fully con
ceive of conditions as they exist there
generally, and those who have not vis
ited the archipelago recently cannot
comprehend the change which has come
over the islands since the change of
Administration in the States, or espe
cially since the change of Governors
General there.
"The change has had its ettect in two
ways. First in the depression of busi
ness, and second in the efficiency of
service, due to the displacement of
Americans by Filipinos.
"In alluding to the severance of the
present relations between the Philip
pine iBlands and the United States, in
his Staunton (Va.) speech. President
Wilson did not state a definite time
when the change woula take place, but
merely said he hoped it would take
place soon a statement which may be
interpreted as one year or 60 years
hence. This uncertainty is the cause
of more trouble than anything else
to Filipinos and foreigners alike. The
Filipinos have been promised their in
dependence, and have recently been led
to believe it would soon be a realiza
tion, and are naturally anxious to know
the definite time to expect it. And
Americans and others with money In
vested there, or with opportunities to
invest it, are uneasy and waiting, not
knowing how long their business will
be under American control generally or
under a complete Filipino administra
tion. Many Lose Positions.
"Immediately upon his arrival In the
islands, Governor-General Harrison in
augurated a policy of retrenchment,
without regard to efficiency. As a re
sult a large number of men were
thrown out of employment. Many ot
these men had fought the battles of
the United States under the burning
heat of a tropical sun, in disease-infested
places; had shouldered the re.
sponsibllity of building a nation on the
ruins ot an antiquated civilization; had
accepted these tasks at the solicita
tion of the United States Government;
had given their best efforts and the
best years of their lives to the unap
preciated task; had remained unfal
teringly at the post of duty, thereby
getting out of touch with conditions at
home. Some had taken unto them
selves Filipino women as wives, were
raising families, when suddenly they
found themselves without a means of
sustenance, with weak ones dependent
upon them, with business growing
duller daily and the chances of secur
ing employment in other channels daily
growing lese. It is an impossibility
for a white man to compete with na
tive laborers on account of climate,
wages and ways of living. As a re
sult these men were left destitute in
a foreign land and without a chance
of starting anew.
"When these conditions were precipi
tated upon the people, protests arose
from all sides. The Americans asked
for consideration. The Filipinos got it.
Deserving Americans, experts in their
lines, were forced to resign to make
place for Filipinos Whose only quali
fication was the fact that they were
Filipinos and had a pull with some
one of the Filipino politicians who
take the place of Charles Murphy in
dictating to the Tammany-trained Governor-General
who for political rea
sons is disturbing the tranquillity and
hampering the progress and prosperity
of the Fhlllpplne Islands.
Americana Are Deported.
"To quiet the howls of protest and
to relieve the situation the Governor
General began to deport the Americans
who were out of employment, thereby
adding a stigma to the already dis
graceful situation. Many who were
deported left wives and children. Di
vorce cannot be obtained in the is
lands, consequently many of these
women began to cohabit with Filipinos,
negroes or anyone else who would help
support them. Usually these adulterers
do not care for the American mestizo,
or half-caste, who are therefore cast
out. Filipinos do not care to provide
for them on account of the animosity
they bear the Americans. And the
Americans there are daily becoming
rower So the situation of the mestizo
is pitiful. An organization was formed
recently to care lor u.c
and many persons prominent In Manha
are taking an active part In the work.
Th. rn!zatlon is meeting with many
drawbacks. It is difficult to find and
secure these children in the provinces.
Many of them are sold and held as
slaves and to take them from their
masters brings upon the society the
wrath of the native populace, who are
always ready and eager to protest
against anything which interferes with
the customs and hablti. of the people.
A large number of the men who
could not give up their families and
who were not yet down and out enough
to justify deportation asked aid from
the Government in a scheme to form
a colony of Americans having family
ties In the islands. A tract of land was
secured in Mindanao, In the Moro coun
try, and preparations for starting the
colony are progressing favorably. The
land is very productive. The climate is
more equitable and mild than the Vis
cayas or Luzon, and the Mohammedan
Moros are as good If not better neigh
bors than the so-called Christian Fil
ipino. "There the pioneers of America's last
great frontier may hope to -.ise their
families, market their produce and live
in peace, removed from the changes
and chances of a Tammany-trained and
Filipino-bossed administration.
"The decrease in the efficiency of the
service in the Philippine Islands due
to the displacement of Americans by
Filipinos by the Governor-General will
probably have as far-reaching and dis
astrous results as any other act of the
present Administration in the islands.
The general hospital, for instance,

until recently the service was of the
highest order. American doctors aa.-i

General the general hospital was

mismanagement and ignorance held
sway.
fiija American nurses are re
tained in that magnlflcent institution,
and charity patients are nuio
for except at the free dispensary. Prac
ticing physicians take their patients
to the Catholic hospitals on account
of the undependable service that is
rendered by the natives in charge of
the general hospital. Several Instances
have happened where persons suddenly
taken ill or injured in auto accidents
were taken to the General Hospital,
where they were met by a Filipino,
who took notes on the condition of the
patient, after which he would return
into the hospital and another would
come out and go through the same
routine and return. Usually the third
one would ask the patient if he had
money to pay for his treatment. In
a few instances the patient had money
at home, but was refused admission
because he did not have it with him.
Petty Politics Played.
"Immediately following the advent
of Governor Harris into the Islands
the Filipinos received a majority on the
Commission, or Upper House of the
Legislature. That gave them practi
cally full power to do as they chose.
They pretended to be endeavoring to
reduce expenses, but during the entire
90 days of the session they played
nnitta onH then the Governor-
General was required to call an extra
session to get the necessary bills
passed.
"Under former Administrations the
Bureau of Agriculture had charge of
the work of quarantining districts in

custombre and influencia count for
more than anything else. A thing is
done or 'is not done according to
whether it is or not wie uusium. vnv,
a person with money or position can
wield a powerful influence.
"In a certain barrio, or village, in
the southern part ot the islands, a
common hombre had in some unac
countable manner incurred the illwill
of the concejo of that barrio. The
concejo, being a man of influence, de
cided that the offender should be pun
ished. Accordingly, he called on the
Justice of the tJeace, wno always am
as the concejo bid. and asked tnat
papers be served upon the offender.
In filling out the papers they came
to a knot when they came to describe
the crime committed. They got down
. i. . -a-M.nl Anils rt r, J Inn IfO.l nWPT t h A
defination of the various crimes. He
nad not committee muraer nor any
other of the codified crimes.
Habeas Corpus Is Charge.
Suddenly the concejo saw a great
light, and exclaimed:
"I have it, senor, I have it, he has
committed habeas corpus."
"Si, senor," answered the Justice of
the Peace, "I had not thought of that,
but it is the clearest case of habeas
corpus I ever saw."
The papers were prepared according
ly and served. The offender was duly
tried and found guilty of committing
habeas corpus, and sentenced to four
months in durance vile. After he had
served about two weeks of his sen
tence, an American judge came to the
provincial capital to hold court. He
heard of the case and ordered the fis
cal, or prosecuting attorney, to appeal
the case to the court of First Instance,
where the offender was liberated.
"In Manila a Chinaman had com
mitted some minor offense for which
be was being tried in the Municipal
Court, which was presided over by a
Filipino Judge. The prosecuting at
torney was a native, also, while the
attorney for the defense was an Amer
ican. The prosecution presented its
case and rested. The judge asked
the attorney for the defense if he had
any evidence to offer for the defense.
The attorney answered in the affirma
tive, and called upon his first witness.
"Well, it won't do you any good,"
interposed the judge, as he handed the
attorney a sentence blank, filled in,
"Guilty, fine 50 pesos." The attorney
objected that his client had not been
heard, but the judge was obdurate. The
next case was called and he was out of
court.
Case Is Appealed.
The matter was taken up with the
Secretary of Finance and Justice, who
was a Commissioner and a member of
the upper House of, the Legislature,
and he upheld the Filipino Judge. The
case was appealed to the Court of
First Instance, where it came before
an American judge and the Chinaman
went free.
"A certain American in the Philip
pine Islands married a native woman.
Tiring of her rhortly, he sought a legal
adjustment of the property, in lieu of
a divorce, which cannot be granted
there. The wife engaged a native at
torney to oppose the case. The Amer
ican had put up a bond of 50 pesos.
He went to the justice and told him
that if he would decide in his favor he
(the Justice) might keep the bond. The
American then went t- the wife's at
torney and gave him 300 pesos to put
up only a show of opposition. The case
went as the American desired. He
immediately looked up the wife's at
torney, took him into a vacant room,
and. as the little Filipino was no match
physically for the big American, it was
not difficult for the American to throw
him down and take the 30Q pesos away
from him. He then went and drew
down the bond. The justice protested,
but was hushed by the American
threatening to expose the matter to
the Governor-General.

t ifmlit. if anv nailer here ever even
imagined that new and fine pianos
and player pianos would ever be ob-i
tainable for such little prices. It has j
never been possible heretofore because ,
there was never such a necessity for
immediate closing out- a high-class
stock of a quality piano nouse. Asiae
from selling most of the instruments
for what they cost us and some for
even less, we are willing to sell on
little payments. It's easy to pay $5
or $6, or even $10 a month. Look into
this. It will pay to get a piano or
modern player piano now. See an
nouncement, "An Urgent Sacrifice,"
on page 15, this issue. Ellsworth,
