NELSON O'SHAUGHNESSY IDE FINE
. JEM US II S. ENVOY TO MEXICO
As Charge d'Aftalres in Southern Republlo He Hat Been Steadily
Handling the Most Inflamed Spot in Our ForcJgii Relations,
and Doing So in a Manner That Was Amazingly
. Clever in Many Ways.
Br JOSEPH UEDItt, PATTERSON.
Special Corrctponaant et tn Chlctco Trlfc-

Vera Cms. For tho last ten months
Nelson O'Shaughnessy has hold tho
most Important Job In tho dlplomatlo
service of the United States. He has
been charge d'affaires In Mexico,
which moans he has been steadily An
gering the most Inflamed spot In our
foreign relations.
That he has showed well a truly
amazing combination ot cunning, cour
tesy and calm Is evident not only from
the grateful testimony ot the Ameri
can refugees now In Vera Cruz, but
also from, his achievement In getting
on comfortably with three successive
Mexican governments, all bitterly an
tagonistic to each other, first with the
old regime of Porflrlo Diaz, thon with
the Madero revolutionists, who tried
him out, then with tho Huertlstas, who
turned Madero In to his grave.
Undoubtedly If O'Shaughueesy had
waited In Mexico City for the ultimate
arrival of General Villa he would have
been teaching that eminent generalis
simo the proper stance on the links
of the Mexico club within a month.
Ho Is a plifperfect jollier, Is Mr. Nel
son O'Shaughnessy, but his work Is
artistic. He sits and smiles and blushes
a trifle and shows white teeth like an
embarrassed youth conversing with a
debutante. Ho breeds confidence
easily. You tell film what you know
and then he tells you what you know,
and when you go you are Impressed
with his exceptional penetration and
hopo to meet him again and have an
other talk about Mexico. Ho doesn't
say anything In particular, but a whole
lot In general, and says it charmingly.
He makes the abstract sound like the
concrete in a remarkable way.
He was appointed first by Roosevelt
In 1904 as secretary to Copenhagen
n-t the age of twenty-seven. Ho wa&
one of tliobo rich young fellows in New
York city who ran to clothes, tenniB
and money. Some people call them
"clubmen," though of course he would
sooner eat soup with his knife than
use such an expression. His family
wished him into tho diplomatic service
because he did not care enough for
money to work for It.
The Republican senators of his state
held his appointment up, but Roose
velt had ono of his obstinato fits and
finally shoved it through.
In 1905 ho was transferred to Berlin
as third secretory and played tennis
with tho crown prince. In 1907 Jne
went to Vienna, where he stayed four
years. .
Ho was distinguished in neither
place except as a Jolly good fellow
which nobody can deny and a chap
whoso taste in gentlemen's shirtings,
suitings and socklngs was infallibly
prophotlc.
He was offered the appointment as
minister to Bucharest, but some of his
zealous friends had his appointment
held up In the senate, hoping to get
him a better one.
He knew nothing of this at tho time,
but was blamed for it, and for discip
line ho was given second secretaryship
to Mexico. This was in tho Jays be
fore the excitement and diplomatically
a distinct step downward.
Doubtless he was expected to re
sign, hut he didn't, and his reward
followed quickly. A month after
O'Sbaughnessy's arrival In Mexico
City Diaz fled, and the Mexican post
became- the most Important in our
service. Then O'Shaughnessy forgot
about shirtings and tielngs. For a big
show was coming off and he wanted to
take part in it.
Francisco Madero entered Mexico
City as the leader of a social revolu
tion. He stood for tho redistribution
of property In land. He rodo into
power on tho promises he made the
peons that he would raako them own-

were impossible, they insisted on de
lay. And Madero, who could dream great
dreams, could not manage men and
make them execute them.
He foil and was murdered in a mili
tary revolution.
During his rule O'Shaughnessy had
become extremely friendly with him
and when hlB murderer, Huerta, suc
ceeded him, O'Shaughnessy quickly
cultivated a personal relationship with
him.
O'Shaughnessy's views seemod to be
that while 30,000 or 40,000 Americans
lived in Mexico, most of them directly
or indirectly extending American trade
with this country, they should have In
him a friend at court. In other words,
ho was forever trying to establish an
Influence with the Mexican govern
ment whatever that was.

one was appointed to succeed him, and
O'Shaughnessy became charge d'af

O'Shaughnessy realized this was what

It must have taken considerable

O'Shaughnessy and a lot ot other
O'Shaugbnessys behind him in direct

Ono of his chief difficulties during
this period was getting Americans out
of Jail. Huerta for the life of him
couldn't see why they shouldn't stay
in Jail for their offenses, real or other
wise, while President Wilson was
"watchfully waiting."
One reason for O'Shaughnessy's suc

edly because he Is a Catholic

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM
Manila, Philip
pine Islands.
Tho question of

ern lands which
border tho Pacific
ocean Is: What
will the United
States do in, or
with the Philip
pine islands? Aus
tralia shows deep

exists, though for different

to conquer; in China, slowly awaken
ing from Its centuries' nap; In tho
Dutch East Indies; in the French and
German possessions, and even In tho
Straits settlements, Burmah and far
off, fermenting India. Keenest, of
course, is the concern In tho islands
themselves. Hero it is everywhere and
continually the chief, almost tho only
topic of conversation.
Tho Philippine islands were of small
world-consequence In tho old days
when they were governed or mis-governed
from Madrid, by way of Mexi
co. A Spanish galleon, once a year
from Acapulco to Manila, was. the only
permitted communication with West
ern lands. Gridley, at Dewey's com
mand, on May day, 1898, fired a shot
which was heard around tho world and

some slight outlay of money, came un-

dor tho American flag. The situation
changed with kaleidoscopic swlttnesu.
Japan grew up overnight, the Panama
canal was built, foreign capital flowed
into the far East ships came and went
and the Pacific ocean, yesterday on
the rim of the world, unconsidered
and almost unknown, took Its placo as
a modern Mediterranean. From a di
version in geography the Philippines
have become a problem In statecraft.
Governed for the Filipinos.
Tho record of tho United States in
tho archipelago can bo studied with
pleasun by every American citizen,
whatever hie opinions may bo as to
the acquisition or disposition of these
Islands. It is, with one or two lament
able exceptions, a record ot unselfish,
efficient, honest public service. Thero
has been little or nq selfish exploita
tion. Administration has boon for tho
benefit of tho Filipinos. Outsldo the
army and fortifications expenses, the
cost of tho administration has boon
met by local taxation and this taxation
has been turned into the Philippine
treasury for local service. The Amer
icans are amateurs in colonial govern
ment Thoy lacked experlenco when
they took up tho burden here. Per
haps for these very reasons they en
tered upon the work with enthusiasm
and conducted it without falling into
the grooves of ancient officialism
which mar much of the colonlnl gov
ernment of other and older nations.
Certain it is that from tho day when
the first American commission under
the fine leadership of President Jacob
Gould Schurman landed at Manila,
through all the successive administra
tions of Taft, Wright, Forbes, Har
rison and the rest, the islands havo
prospered undor the beneficent Ameri
can rule.
A Nation at 6chool.
General Agulnaldo, once leader ot
tho Insurrection against the American
rulo, now scientific farmer and
patriotic promoter of handicrafts, re
plying, wlt.li hrs accustomed caution,
to inquiry recently declared that mom
had been done for education In fifteen
ycars under American rulo than In all
the centuries f Spanish domination.
Tho view expresosd by General Agul
naldo is held by every observer.
Nowhero else has there been so am
bitious an cducatlonnl undertaking,
the effort to put an entire nation to
school. Only lack of revenue prevents
tho extension ot a public school sys
tem to overy village. Even under ex
isting conditions erory child on tho
larger Islands and in tho more popu
lous communities finds a public school
within easy reach. In Manila Is a nor
mal school doing good work, an excel
lent high school and a growing univer
sity, under tho wise direction of Presi
dent Thomas Bartlett, which has,
among other well equipped depart
ments, a medical school regarded as
tho best In tho far EriBt. Industrial
and technical instruction is provided
in tho mora important centers. Eng-
llsh is compulsory in nil theao schools
and tuition is frco. Tho Spanish lan
guage is still In everyday ubo in Ma
nila, becnuso, said a Filipino, wo court
ed our sweethearts In that language,
but tho younger Filipinos speak Eng
lish and its uso Is rapidly bocomtng
general.
Great Progress In Sanitation.
Tho Amorlcans havo instituted
other reform0 than that In education.
In tho matter of public health much
progress has been made. A system ot
sanitation and tho drilling ot artesian
wells for a better water supply havo
lowered tho death rate in some places
60 per cent Cholera and, smallpox
havo been practically eliminated, lep
ers havo been segregated and plague
spots havo been made clenn nnd
healthful for human habitation. There
Is no placo in nil the Oriont freer from
disease. Tho road system has been
extended until thero are nearly two
thousand miles ot hard-surfaced high
ways, far superior to most of tho main
roads In Missouri or tho middle West,
with many excellent bridges. Fino har
bor works have been constructed at
tho principal ports. Irrigation sys
tems have been established, agricul
ture has been promoted nnd new linos
opened up.
In the maintenance of law and qrdor
and tho administration ot Justice the
change has also been striking. Tho in
corruptibility of a Judiclary,,represen
ta'tlvo of tho best Amorlcan typo, has
succeeded a reign of bribery. Tho cen
tral penitentiary, Bllibid prison, in
Manila, Is conducted on most progres
sive lines nnd tho penal colony at Iwn
hlg constitutes a daring but successful
experiment in tho reformatory treat
ment ot criminals. When It is recalled
-that all this and much more has
been accomplished In a tropical coun
try whero none of these things exist
ed, nnd In 15, years, tho Americans may
well, In tho language of tho political
platforms, "point with pride."
Natives Want Self-Government.
Whilo tho dwellers In tho Philip
pines, natlvo and foreigner nllko, agree
aa to the past and tho present and
unlto in praising the good accom
plished, thero is, when tho futuro is
considered, sharp divergence of opin
ion. Thq Filipinos, almost without ex
ception, wish self-government. Thoy
are a unit In praising tho present ad
ministration at Washington for Its ex
tension of local self-government "Fil
lplntzatlon of the Philippine Islands,"
as tho local phrase has it. What form
this self-government shall take, repub
llo with absolute independence, an
American protectorate, statehood In
tho American republic, or naturaliza
tion, is not generally agreed upon.
Self-government, however, Is the Fill
plnos' unanimous deslro,
Americans Against It.
The Amorlcans and foreigners, resi
dent on tho islands, are almost though
not quite so unanimous against further
extension of the privileges of self-government
to tho Filipinos. Thoy are
equally as unanimous in denouncing
with much vehemence the administra
lla.
tion at Washington and its local rep
resentatives at Manila. "These peo
plo do not know what is good for
them," said a Manila merchant "Look
what wo havo done for them and how
ungrateful tho wretches nro. Thoy
want to take tho government Into their
own hands. It will ruin our business."
And he naively added: "Lost year I
mado 40 per cent on my Investment"
Tho nowspapors refloct tho discord
ant views. Tho Amorlcan Journals are
filled with denunciation of Governor
General Harrison's policy, though his
gracious personality has won him
frionds oven among his opponents,
whilo tho Filipino press Is correspond
ingly laudatory. Don Martin Ocampo,
tho leading Filipino Journalist, said:
"You will not find tho .portrait of Wil
son or Bryan or Clark In any Amorl
can ofllco, but only In tho Filipino.
And he spoko tho truth. Tho editor of
tho leading American dally said: "You
nsk a Filipino, tho ordinary follow, any
whero: " 'Aro you bettor off than before the
Americans came7'
"Ho will reply, 'Yes.'
"Ask him if ho is happier under
Amorlcan rulo, and ho will reply ho Is.
"Thon ask him If ho wants Indo
pondonco and ho will answer In tho
affirmative also.
"Ho doesn't know what's good for
him."
Can Filipinos Govern Themselves?
Tho question of tho duty of tho
United StatoB in regard to these Islands
and their peoples resolves Itsolf Into
whotlor or not they nro capable of
governing themselves nnd maintaining
law and order as nn Independent na
tion. If they can do this, even thoso
persons In Manila most violently op
posed to Bolf-government would agree,
though with reluctance, that it should
bo granted. No ono horo at least In
public Is opposed to ultimato Inde
pendence or self-government, "when
tho Filipinos nro capahlo of self-government,"
to uso tho phrnso of com
mon speech. The dlffercnco Is ns to
tho tlmo. "In two centuries at tho
present rate of progress," said ono
Amorlcan. "In a gonorntlon or two,"
Bald another, while a third shrowd
observor without tho conservatism of
cnpltal invested in the orcwory or
timber or other local business, said:
"Tho Filipinos aro capablo of govern
ing themselves and maintaining penco
and progress on tho Island now. And
how enn wo say for a certainty that
thoy aro not unless wo glvo them a
chance to demonstrate tholr capacity?
As to maintaining themselves against
outsldo agression, that Is another mat
ter. As for self-government, look nt
tho work of tho Philippine assembly.
That throws light on the problem, If
It docs not solvo It."
Good Work of the Assembly.
Tho Philippine assembly, tho legis
lature of tho islands, hnd JuBt ad
journed. It Is composed of two houses,
Tho lower houso consists ot members
elected from tho vnrlouB provinces by
voters who havo certain educntlonal
ind property qualifications. Its mem
bership la, of course, entirely natlvo.
The upper houso, called tho commis
sion, is composed of tho govornor gen
eral and eight commissioners, appoint
ed by the president of tho United
States. Until recently, five of this
commission were Americans and four
Filipinos. Under President Wilson's
administration, however, five of tho
commission a majority aro Fili
pinos. Tho work of this assembly
was equal to that ot legislative bodies
in other and Western lands. It com
pares favorably, In discussion of meas
ures; nnd final decision, with tho stato
legislatures tn America. There was
harmony between the two hquses and
each passed about tho same number
of bills originating in tho otjior houso.
In appropriation of money tho assem
bly was notably careful and dlr,c.rlm
lnatlng. OEomona, tho speaker, from
Cebu, would havo easily been a leader
In any legislative body, nnd Pnlma, tho
senior member of tho commission,
would rank among tha foremost mem
bers' of any upper houso. Tho wholo
assembly was characterized by fino
public spirit
8how Fast-Growing Capacity.
In local civil government, in tho
Judiciary, on commissions, in the con
stabulary, and as soldiers, the Filipino
has shown an unexpected and growing
capacity. In this view the opponents
of independence agreed, but Insist they
succeed only when thoy are undor
some white man's authority, Thomas
A. Street, formerly professor In the
law school of the University of Mis
souri, now member of the code com
mittee ot tho Philippines, bears wit
ness to their rapid growth In tho quali
ties needed tor successful statehood.
MaJ, 11. B. Buck of the regular army,
formerly commandant of cadets nt Mis
souri, testifies to their ability as sol
dlors. Indeed, the universal opinion
classes tho Filipinos as the most su
perior of tho Malayan peoples.
There aro several different peoples

fomented by Spanish rule, oxlsted be

but the antagonism has apparently
lessoned undor Amorlcan control. This

tho several peoples and the existence
of tho wild tribes must bo considered
