To put down the insurrection and restore peace in the islands i Was - a duty not only to our selves put to the Isfanders also. We could not have abandoned the conflict without shirking this duty, withdut proving ourselves recreants to the mem ory of our forefathers.' Moreover. If we had abandoned it we would have in flicted upon the Filipinos the most cru el wrong and would have doomed them to a bloody Jumble. of anarchy and ty ranny.? It seems stiange, looking back that any of our people should have failed to recogntxe a duty so obvious; but there was such failure, and the Government at home, the civil authori ties in the Philippines, and above all. our gallant Army, had to do their work amid a storm of detraction. The Army In especial was attacked In a way which I finally did good, for In the end it aroused the hearty resentment . of the great body 0 the American people, not against the Army, but.agalnst the Army's traducers. The circumstances of the war made It one of peculiar dif ficulty, and our, soldiers were exposed to ' peculiar wrongs from their foes. They, fought in , dense tropica.

"When, by last July, the last vestige' of organized insurrection had disappeared, peace and amnesty were proclaimed.; Civil Government Supreme. As rapidly as the military rule was extended over the islands by the defeat of the insurgents. Just so rapidly was it replaced by the civil government. At the present time the civil government is supreme and the army, in the Phil ippines has been reduced until it is sufficient merely- to- provide- against the recurrence of trouble.': In- -Governor Taft and his associates ; we sent to -the Filipinos as upright, as conscientious, and as able a group coadministrators as ever any country has been, blessed with having. 7 With them and under them we, have associated tne nest men, among the : Filipinos, so .that the great majority f the officials, including many of-the highest rank,' are them selves natives of thesislands. The ad ministration Is incorruptibly honest; justice Is as jealously safeguarded -as here at home. The government is con ducted purely in the Interests of the people of the islands; they are protect ed in their religious and civil rights; they have been given an excellent and well administered school system, and each of them now enjoys rights to life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness such as were never before known in all the history of the islands. ? Wise Legislation Passed.' ; . The. Congress .which has just 'ad journed has passed legislation of bigh Importance--and- great wisdom Tn'Yne li Jtfxests. of. the.

Irt the interest of the islands for a reduction of twenty-five per cent in the tariff on FSIIplno-articles brought to this country. I. asked that, a- ftiU further reduction should be made.". It was not granted by the last Congress, but I thik -that in .some shape it will be granted by the next. And even with out -it. the record of legislation In the interests of the Filipinos is one 'With which we have a right to feel great satisfaction. ; , ' s -::- Money to Meet Distress. - ' , Moreover, 5 Congress appropriated three million dollars, following the precedent it set when the people of Porto Rico were afflicted by sudden dissater; this money to be used by the Philippine government In order to meet the distress occasioned primarily by the terrible cattle disease which almost annihilated the carabao or water-buffalo, the chief and most important do mestic animal in the Islands. Coming as this disaster did upon the heels of the, havoc wrought by the insurrec tionary war great suffering has" been caused: and this misery for which this Government is in no way responsible will doubtless in turn . increase the dif ficulties of the Philippine government for the next, year or. so. In consequence there will doubtless here and there oc cur sporadic 1 increases of the armed brigandage to which the islands have been habituated from time immemorial and here and there for their own pur-, poses the bandits may choose to style themselves patriots or insurrectionists; but these local difficulties will be of little consequence save as they give occasion to a few men here at home again to try to mislead our people. Not only has the military problem in the Philippines been worked out quicker and better than we had dared to ex pect, but the progress socially and in civil government has likewise exceed ed our fondest hopes. . : ' Jose Rizals Advocacy. "Remember always that In the Phil ippines the American Government has tried and la trying to carry out exact ly what the greatest genius and most revered patriot ever known in the Phil ippine Islands Jose Rizal steadfastly advocated. This man. shortly before his death, in a message to his country men, under date of December If, 1896, condemned unsparingly the insurrec tion of Aguinaldb,-terminated Just be fore our Navy appeared upon the scene. and pointed tr. the , path his people should follow to liberty and enlighten ment. Speaking of the Insurrection and of the-pretense that Filipino Indepen dence of, a. wholesome -character, could thereby be obtained.; he wrote: t - ""When, In spite of my advice, - a movement was begun, I offered of my own accord, not only my services, but my life and even my good name to be used In any way they might believe effective, in stifling the rebellion. I thought of the disaster which would follow the 'success . of - the revolution. and - I deemed myself, fortunate it ny any sacrifice I could bjock .the- progress of such a useless calamity.. . ; My countrymen.

Let them return, then, to their homes, and may God pardon those who have acted in bad faith. Voiced American Policy. - . : This message embodied precisely ajml exactly the avowe policy upon which the American Government . has acted In the Philippines. -What the patriot Rizal said with such force' In speaking of the Insurrection, before -we came to. the islands applied with ten fold greater force to these who foolish ly or wickedly, opposed the mild - ' and beneficent government we were insti tuting in the Islands. The judgment of the martyred public'- servant, Rizal. whose; birthday the 'Philippine people eelebrate, and whom they worship as fhejr hero and ideal, sets forth the duty of Americar soverehrntyr a duty from which - the American people .will never flinch. . -,.: Reducing Cost and Army. "While we nave been doing these great and beneficent works in the isl ands, we have yet been steadily re- duclng the cost at which they are done. The last Congress repealed the law for the war taxes, and the Wax Depart ment has reduced the Army from the maximum number of one hundred thousand allowed under the law to very nearly the minimum of sixty thousand.- . :-,.".'; "Moreover, the last Congress enacted some admirable-'' legislation affecting the, Army, passing first of all the mili tia Lblll and then the bill to create a genjerat staff. The militia bill repre sents the realization of a reform which had been championed Ineffectively by Washington, and had 'been fruitlessly agitated ever since. At last we, have taken from the statute books "the ob solete militia law of the "Revolutionary days and have 'provided for efficient aid to the National Guard of the var ious states. "I ! believe that rio.- other great country has such fine . natural material for volunteer soldiers as we hae, and it is the obvious duty of the Nation and of the states to make "such provision as will enable this volunteer soldiery to be organized with all pos sible rapidity and efficiency -In time of war; and. furthermore, to help in -ery- way the National Guard in time of peace. The militia law enacted by the Congress marks the first long step ever taken in this direction by the Na tional Government. The general staff law, is of immense" importance and benefit .to the Regular Army.

Under the law- Just enacted by Con gress this system will be changed Im mensely for the-better, and every pat riotic American ought to rejoice; for when we come to the Army and the Navy we deal w ijth"' the honor, and In terests of ail our people; and when such is the case party lines are as nothing, and we all stand shoulder to shoulder as .Americans, moved only by pride In and love for our common country.
