The government and nil the conditions
of life of 7,000,000 men , IN omen and chil
dren , Inhabitants of the Philippine Islands ,
liavo been profoundly affected by the de
cision of the Paris peace commission. It is
a llltle singular that -while the disposition
of the Islands has been thoroughly discussed
from the point of view of the Americans ,
the English , the Germans and the Japan
ese , the Filipino has hardly been consulted
as to his dcslree and Inclination * regarding
the future. Ilimon Ueyes Lala , a native
of the Philippine Islands , educated In Eng
land nnd now temporarily a resident of the
United States , who Is thoroughly familiar
with the conditions In the Philippines , ap
( pears us the champion of his people , and In
tAo following article ho makes some ex
ceedingly valuable suggestions for the
future government of the Philippines , showIng -
Ing vividly the needs and hopes of his
countrymen ;
There has been not a little curiosity
ehown by the American public as to the
future of the , Filipino , and. not a few wlsc-
ncros bate croaked most dolefully about
his -worth as a citizen. I therefore wish
to show that my countrymen are not as
black as they have been painted nnd that
there Is enough stamina ln > the race to
warrant cultivation and ft high citizen

ship.True
True , wo hove no world genius to show
you , wo have no grand literature , no dis
tinct national art but there are , I think ,
enough evidences of our capacity for these
things io caupo Americans to give us a
genuine. Yankee welcome.
For opportunity to prove ourselves , our
manhood , our tnlenta nnd our hopes Is
all that wa feel entitled to. Let the
American people help us to a reallzntlon of
this lopg-detilred opportunity , and they will
win our eternal gratitude.
Wo have , I repeat , already given evidence
of a capacity for clvlo functions. Though
living amid the most discouraging condl
tlons and under the most oppressive govern
ment In the civilized world , my countrymen
hate over proved tractable and law abiding ,
whcro the law was based upon equity and
right , Nay , they have done more than this.
It Is said by all travelers that no other people -
plo In the world would have endured as
much as the Filipinos , and therefore they
can surely not be accused of a rebellious
disposition. And when , finally , the dogs of
war were let loose , It can surely not bo said
that these "blood-thirsty and cruel Malays"
did much" havoc among the hundreds of de
i fenseless Spaniards who were In their
\ power.

Ion that I would base the right of my
countrymen to citizenship. I claim that we
lave shown for generations ever since the
Spanish occupation , and even long before
he capacity to govern ourselven , for the
most of the gobcrnadocilloH or governors of
ownshlps , and many 'of the provincial gov
ernors , have been native Filipinos. As the
ownshlp , under an American regime , would
lso be the unit of government , It follows
.hat the same administrative talents that
lave made the Filipino communities models
of domestic peace hitherto will keep them
the same. An to the larger offlcea of state ,
he majority with us , as well as with you In
America , arc palpably untltted. And yet wo
lave men among us who would. I think , befit
fit to assume any task that the United States
night Impose upon them even to the gov
ernor general of the colony Itself.
Agulnuldo , though young for such a posi-
.ion , has surely shown remarkable ability ,
and would , I believe , always handle himself
with discretion. Agonclllo Is another man
who has slioun an uncommon talent for nf-
Falrs whllo Oayetano S. Arellano , the emi
nent Manila jurist , is. In my mind , as capa
ble ns any American whom It has yet been
my fortuneto meet. This man Is a pro
found lawyer , and Is of untarnished rcouta-
tlon. Ho Is Nvldely traveled , and conversant
with the history of other countries : is well
as with every detail of the llfo of his own.
He should bo put at the head of the supreme
premo court of the islands , If the United
States decide to assume the task of govern
ing them , for no other man so well knows
tbo Intricate Spanish laws , the customs and
the- character of the people.
I have merely made mention of thcso
names to prove that a few of us nt least
are ready for even the duties of American
citizenship high as these are and I do not
underrate them when I say this. Indeed ,
we can show not a few others who would
rank on the same Intellectual plane with
the gentlemen mentioned above and there
Is no reason why , In the course of a genera
tion , there should not bo thousands whcro
no\v there are scores. It will cause Bomo
surprise when I state that no subject possesses -
sesses greater Interest to the Filipino mind
than civics and law. There are today al
ready more than 1,000 Filipinos who are
full-fledged lawyers graduates of the tlnl-
verity of .Manila , and some of them of the
best schools In Europe. The average native
also Is much Interested In the affairs of his
village , and there Is usually as much desire
among them to hold public office as among
the rulers of free America.
1'orlU \nne\atlon. .
Annexation will possibly have the pe
culiar effect of changing family names In
the Philippines. As a paterfamilias the
Filipino has no superior , here or elsewhere ;
for nowhere. I verily believe. Is there more
family affection than among the natives
of my country , but the mother U really the
head of the home ; her word Is law and she
gives the surnames to her offspring , who
hold her In peculiar awe. Necessarily much
of this will be changed by the advent of
western civilization and I confess that I [
am sorry , too , for there Is a great deal I
tliat Is lovely In these eastern domestic cus ,
toms. However , the elastic nature of the
Filipinos will easily adjust Itself to new con
ditions and will retain Its Inherent virtue.
I do not believe , as some of my country
men do , that the Filipino will disappear
before the Incoming tide of American emi
gration , 'is did the American Indian. There
are good reasons for thU belief. One Is ,
we are of the tropics tropical anil not even
a hundred generations could completely ac
climatize the American , nor adapt him to
the conditions of this sultry zone. There
la no more danger that wo will be sup
planted by the Americans than that the
Dutch will supplant the Malays In Javi.
The body of the population must ever be
iiMlfe-born and In that physiological nec
essity and ethnological fact lies our na
tional salvation. Therefore , even In the
event of American annexation , the Filipinos

Oilier 1C flee tn of Annexation.
The Filipinos are by nature agricultur
ists. The farm suits them better than the
store or factory. The Chinese and the for
eigners , Indeed , almost monopolize the trade
of the Islands , the natives being In the main
producers or else In the professions And
right here will come the great opportunity
for American commerce , for the carrying
trade of ttio Islands , as well as the various
kinds of manufacture , will soon bo In Amer
ican hands , and the chances for largo profit
will soon draw many investors to these
golden shores.
The hemp , tobacco , sugar , lumber , Indigo ,
rice and cocoa Industries will thus alone re
ceive a magnificent Impetus and the pro
duction of these articles of export will be
stimulated , so that within flvo years their
yield will bo Increased threefold. Hitherto
there was little Incentive to work hard for
oneself , since the profits were sliorn for the
benefit of the oppressor. Woo to the Filipino
pine who prospered ; ho was fleeced In a
thousand ways by the officials of the state
and of the church. Thus ambition was
atrophied and enterprise of every sort was
dwarfed Into apathy. Foreign Investors also
were similarly encouraged and many were
only allowed to leave the scene of their un
profitable Investment after they had lost
their last dollar. I remember two English
men who had discovered a great ledge of
coal. They were allowed , at great expense ,
to develop It until the point when It was
about to become profitable. Then the gov
ernment began to Impose restriction after
restriction until every further endeavor
was attended only with loss. The Investors
were finally forced to give up In despair , as
the Spaniards Intended that they should , and
both of them left the Islands In disgust.
Another Investor , an American friend of
mine , Thomas Collins , went Into the lumber
business and seemed on the high road to
great wealth , when ho became Involved In
a lawsuit which a corrupt judge decided
against him , leaving him penniless as the
result of an unjust decision.
It can thus bo easily seen why the na
tives have manifested go llttlo business en
terprise In the Inglorious past. Delleve
me , let them once know that they will
profit by the results of their labors and they
will bo encouraged to labor and to Indus
trial art.
American I.liiuor * nnil I'olIHe * .
Millions of acres of arable land are yet
untllled. They wait an era of demand to
impel them to frultfulncss ; and America
will create that demand by an Increasing
commerce that will redound to her double
advantage. For , In exchange for the prod
ucts of the Islands , she will give the thous
and and one articles of civilization maiui-
factured In America. Send us
] prayer books ttml missionaries tor
our rlco and hemp If you wish ;
but keep out American liquors and American
politics. No one can drink the strong bev
erages of the temperate zone In the Philip
pines and live. Many foreigners , It Is true- ,
Insist upon their arrival In Manila on callIng -
Ing for whiskies nnd brandies ; but such in
dulgence la sure , even If continued only mod
erately , to superinduce a fatal fever or some
other tropical disease. Many of the for
elgners who have tiled there owed their
deaths to the daily tipple alone. For thi
reason the climate has not b en so danger
ous to the natives of wine-drinking conn
tries llko France and Italy. American
troops should be cautioned In regard to this
insidious danger and strong liquors , both for
your take and ours , should be kept out ot
the colony ,
1'rottutanllsin will not nourish In the Phil-
ippines. The pomp and ceremonial of the
Catholic church appeals most strongly to
he native Imagination nnd no religion which
is wanting In splendor and In grand music
ivlll find a foothold In the Islands. There
Is thus llttlo danger of the Filipinos over
jecomlng Quakers. They are a very musi
cal people. Every village has its native orchestra -
chestra and In the processions of which the
latlvcs are so fond and which occur every
'ow days Ihe music Is the chief feature.
Indeed , It may be said that every Fllplnn
plays some Instrnraent and even little chil
dren 5 or C years of ago play the piano
or guitar amazingly well. It Is refreshing
to go through the suburbs of Manila on a
fine summer's eve and to hear the happy
people on the wide verandas of their houses
singing nnd playing popular airs which ths
passersby below will take up so that the
whole street resounds with melody. Music
truly a great clvlllzer and It has doubtless
been a powerful Instrument In the hands ot
the church to win the natives to the stand
ard of the cross. To the native , however ,
all music Is divine , and it Is music of the
stirring , operatic sort that most appeals
to him. It must be full of movement. The
soft , tender airs of sentiment or the music
of emotion do not affect him. Thus In the
churches and at funerals It Is a common
thing to hear lively marches and the latest
waltz while the audlenco listens entranced
keeping time with hands and , feet.
Filipino * 111 Art.
Strange to say the Filipinos , notwith
standing their great love for music and
their wonderful Ingenuity In Inventing and
constructing musical instruments , have no
distinct school of their own , preferring to
play the compositions of European com
posers than to take tbo trouble to write
their own. I believe , however , that they
are capable of a high order of composition ,
for one of the gifted Luna brothers , hem
I knew very well , composed some pieces
of extraordinary merit and I am sure
others also have genius to do HO.
I must make some reference also to the
Filipino in the realm of art. We have
produced few great painters and yet nn-
other of the Luna brothers , who studied
In Madrid , took > prlzes In the art academy
there and gives promise of a remarkable
career. This , however , shows of what the
race IH capable , and I am convinced that
we hive many Lunas. Out of primitive
conditions , also , wo have evolved a style
of architecture eminently suited to our
environment. The prevalence of death-
dealing tornadoes and of destructive earth
quakes those Iconoclasts of the Philip
pines has forbidden the erection of splen
did temples and of Imposing piles. The
finest edifices at present are of Spanish
design , but how could It bo otherwise , when
the Spaniards superintended the construe
tlon of every building In the colony ?
Prohibition of I-arKre KxtntPN.
I believe that large estates should be pro
hibited by law , for I fear that a few
scheming Americans may soon own a
greater part of the Islands , and will there
fore soon have a great part of the popula
tion on their estates , educating them for
a future of dependence and for political
subserviency. At present every native
owns his own house and. his own little
patch of land , and is contented and happy.
Let him continue undisturbed In his humble
possessions.
The chief necebslty of the Islands are good
schools , and we hope that the. Americans
will not long withhold from us this long
desired boon. Coraparatl\cly few natives
have had the advantage of modern methods.
At present the educational facilities arc
most meager and the methods of the native
schoolmasters , as well as of the Spanish
priests , are most antiquated. Only Spanish
books have , as a rule , been allowed , anil
the whole course of colonial education has
had a theological bias. The groundwork ol
superstition , however reared with such In-
finlto labor during the centuries of Spanish
priestcraft Is fast giving way. The eyes
of the natives have at last been opened.
They will no longer tolerate the delusions
of the past , but will eagerly embrace the
loctrincs of the now. Under American
lomlnlon a glorious future awaits the Fili
pino. He will for once be able to hew out
of the rock of opportunity the statue of his
own worth. HAMON HBYES LALA.

OMAHA , Jan. 27. To the Editor of The
Dee : The biennial crop of legislative bills
Is now blossoming with Its wonted exuber
ance. What the full fruitage will be Is not
so much a matter ot speculation as dread.
It Is not open to argument that many bills
Introduced are inherently harmful In their
tendencies. Others there are which create
UCNV and unnecessary public boards , only to
Increase the already unwieldy character of
btatc administration , provide places for po
litical workers and augment the burden of
taxat'on. Legitimate life Insurance has at
tained such a meritorious and prominent po
sitionamong the Etato financial institutions
of our"day that It has become a special mark
for this class of legislation. A case in point
Is the recent bill Introduced Into the Ne
braska assembly by Senator Talbot. A care
ful study will show It to bo ns useless as It
Is radical. It repeals all existing laws on
the subject and among Its features provides
for an Insurance commUaloner to be ap
pointed by the governor , levies the Impossi
ble * tax of n per cent on the gross Incomes
of "foreign" Insurance companies doing bus
iness In the state and an annual license fee
of 1500 ; but exempts the Nebraska assess
ment concerns from supervision or tax.
It Is claimed that the bill , if It becomes
a law , will coat the Insurance companies
(200.000 annually. That Is , the policy hold
ers will bo called upon to pay that much
more for their Insurance in Nebraska.
Now , any legislation which makes It more
difficult for the thrifty nnd provident < o se
cure llfo Insurance that really Insures is
vlcloua. Thli bill Is an attempted protection
to that flats of experimental insurance of
which the senator Is a leading exponent.
Legislators can easily dig their political
pra\cs by tampering with Interests so vital
to the prosperity of Independent homes and
families as life Insurance. The people have
come to recognize the standard organizations
as first among fiduciary liibtltutloiiB. They
are mainly owned by the policy holders and
the latter must suffer or prosper with the
companies. Such bills should carry In their
opening clauses a statement that they pro
pose an additional tax on prudence and
thrift. TOLlcy IIOLDEH.

Quietly and without even a parting cheer
the two remaining battalions of the Twenty-
second infantry started Friday afternoon on
their long journey to the Philippines , and
then the post was deserted except for the
sick men , the post guard loft behind to pro
tect the property aud a detachment ot twelve
recruits for the Sixteenth Infantry which
came In about noon.
All Friday morning great signs of activity
were visible. Orderlies hurriedly crossed
the parade ground on errands for the ofllcera ,
the commissary wagon rattled back nnd forth
from the quarters to the waiting baggage
cars and In the different squad rooms the
I men wcro kept busy making up their packs
and cleaning up the muss caused by the
] packing up for departure. Ileforo leaving ,
each squad room was swept and scrubbed In
order that the incoming regiment might
havn no cause for complaint upon Its nrrlvul
at the barracks.
lly 11 o'clock the baggage and rations of
the Second battalion were aboard the Hock
Island train and dinner was hurriedly dis
posed of by the Impatient men. At 11:41 :
the assembly sounded nnd the companlc.4
formed In heavy marching order on the road
before the quarters. The roll was called nnd
a hurried but rigid Inspection of arms and
equipments by the first aergeants followed ,
and by noon the four companies were aboard
the train. A few minutes later the hospital
corps and band arrived at the depot aud by
1 o'clock the train had pulled out for
Omaha. On this train. besides the Second
battalion were the regimental headquarters ,
the non-commUaloned staff and half a
dozen of the officers' wives and children.
The train wan run In two sections each with
a double header , the first uectlon being
closely followed by the second. Captain
Lockwood was In charge of the first section ,
whllo Captain Krcppa was In command on
the second. With the headquarters were
Chaplain Fitzgerald and Captain Kulp , as
sistant surgeon , who will look after the
health of the men during the trip.
Deln ) ' In Gellliitf Off.
Hardly had the Rock Island train departed
when the Third battalion formed for in
spection. After the ceremony the men
marched to the sidetrack behind the com
missary building and boarded the tourist
blecpera that awaited them. For the officers
u I'ullman bad been provided. Considerable
delay was experienced In getting the train
off on account of the great amount of bag
gage. Muring the morning the commissary
wagons liad been kept busy handling the
baggage of the Second battalion ami the re
maining luggage hail to bo loaded after the
departure cf that section of the regiment.
\Vhcn It ls remembered that besides the
baggage there wcrs flvo days' travel rations
for more than 400 men It will bo Bern that
tlici capacity of the two baggage cars wai >
severely taxed.
In addition to their regular traveling ra
tions the companies had provided nut of
their company funds special food for the trip
to San Francisco , In most cases about 1M )
pounds of boiled ham had been prepared ,
besides bologna , clicoto nnd apples , K > the
men will cot bo compelled to subsist fur the
next flvo days on canned "horse , " hard tacil
and railroad coffco altogether.
At 2:30 : all was icady and the- lust section
of the regiment left over the llurllngton via
Oreupolls. Some disappointment was ex
pressed nmong the otllcers , who had imtlcl-

hours In Omaha.
At the unloo depot In this city a number
of women who hail friends In that portion of

It is now proposed to supplement the work

of those who have this enterprise In charge ,
