NATION NEEDS STRONG ARMY President Points to Pending Organization of National Guard. DEFENDS AMERICAN ACTION IN ISLANDS Claims All Promises Are Being; Faith fully Kept and Dead Filipino Patriot's Peaceful Advice Fol lowed bjr C'oantrymea. (Continued from First rage.) eminent at borne, the civil r.uthorl'les In th Philippines, aud abovo all our gallant army bad to do their work amid a storm ef detraction.- The army In especial was attacked In a way which finally d d go:d. for in the end it aroused tba hearty re sentment of the great body of tho Amer ican people, not against the army, but against the army's traducers. Tba circum stances of the war made It cne of pe culiar difficulty and our soldiers were ex posed to peculiar wrongs from their foes. They fought in dense tropical Jungles gainst enemies who were treacherous and cruel, not only toward our own men, but toward the great numbers of friendly natives, the most peaceable and most civ ilised among whom eagerly welcomed our rule. (.'rarity Hot Defensible. "Under such circumstances, among 100, 000 hot-blooded and powerful young men serving la small detachments on the other side of the globe, it was Immpossible that occasional Instsnces of wrongdoing should Bot occur. The fact that they occurred In retaliation for well-nigh Intolerable prov ocation cannot for one moment be ad mitted In the way of excuse or Justification. All good Americans regret and deplore thsra and the War department has taken every step In its power to punish the offenders and to prevent or minimize tha chance of repetition of the offense. Bdt these of fenses were the exception and not the rulo. As a whole our troops showed not only signal courage and efficiency, but great bumanfty and the most sincere desire to promote tho welfare and liberties of the Islanders. In a aeries of exceedingly ha rassing and difficult campaigns they com pletely overthrew the enemy, reducing then finally to a condition of mere brig andage, and wherever they conquered they conquered only to make way for the rule of the civil government, for the Introduc tion of law, and of liberty under the law. When, by last July, tbe last vestige of organized Insurrection had disappeared, peace and anrjestv were proclaimed. Civil Order Follows War. "As rapidly as the military rule was ex tended over the inlands by the defeat of the Insurgents, just so rapidly was it replsced by the civil government. At the present time the civil government Is supreme and the army tn the Philippines has been re duced until It Is sufficient merely to provide against tbe recurrence of trouble. "In Governor Taft and his associates we sent to the Filipinos as upright, as con scientious and as able a group of admin istrators as ever any country has been blessed with. With them and under them we have associated ths best men among tho Filipinos, so that' the great majority of the officials. Including many of tha highest rank, are themselves natives of tha Islands. The administration is corrupt ibly honest; justice is as jealously safe guarded aa here at bom. The govern ment la conducted purely Ir the interests of the people of the Islands; tbey are pro tected in their religious and civil rights; they have been given an excellent and well administered school syctcm, and each of them now enjoys rights to "life, liberty and tbe pursuit of happiness" such as were noTer before known In all- tbe history of the Islands. ''The congress which bas just adjourned has passed legislation cf high Importance and great wisdom In the interests of tha Filipino people. First and fororr.ost, it conferred upon them by law the present admirable civil government; In addition it gave them an excellent currency; it passed a measure allowing the organization of a native constabulary; and It provided, in the Interests cf tho Islands, for a reduction of 25 per cent In the tariff of Filipino ar ticles brought to this country. I asked that a still . further reduction should be made. It was not granted by tha last con gress, but I think that In some shape It will be granted by tbe next. And even without it the record of legislation in the Interests of tbe Filipinos Is cne, with which we have a right to feel great satisfaction. "Moreover congress appropriated $3,000, 600, following' the precedent it s-t when the people of Porto Rico were afflicted by ! sudden disaster; this money to be used I 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 domestic animal In the islands. Coming at this dis aster did upon tbe heels of the havoc wrought by the Insurrectionary war great suffering bas been caused; end this misery for which this government is in no wsy responsible will doubtless in turn lncresss the difficulties of the Philippine govern ment for the next year or so.

Not only his the mllltsry problem In the Philippines boen worked out quicker and better than we had dared to expect, but the progress socially and In civil government bas likewise ex ceeded our fondest hopes. Peculiar and Delicate Problem. "The best thing that can be, done in handling such a problem aa that in the Philippines, to peculiar, so delicate, so difficult and so remote, is to put the best man possible In charge and then give him the heartiest possible rupport. and the freest possible hand. This Is what bas been done with Governor Taft. "There is not In this nation a higher or finer type of public servant than Governor Taft. He has rendered literally Inesti mable service, not only to the people of the Philippine Islands; but also tbe people of the United States, by what he has done in those islands. He has been able to do it because from tho beginning he bas been given absolute support by the War depart ment under Secretary Root. "With the cessation of organised re sistance the civil government took Its po sition of headship. The army in the Philip, pines is now one of the instrumenis through which Governor Taft doea his ad mirable work. The civil government, of which Governor Taft Is the head. Is su preme, and It will do well In the future 'as it has done In the past, because it will be backed up in tbe future aa It bas been in tbe past." "Remember always that In the Philip pines the American government has tried and is trying to carry out exactly what tbe greatest genius and most revered patriot ever known In the Philippine islands Jose Rizal steadfastly advocated. This man, shortly before his death. In a message to'bis countrymen, under date of December It. 1896, condemned 'unsparingly the insurrection of Agulnaldo, terminated just before our navy appeared upon the s-'ene, and pointed out the path his people should , follow to liberty snd enlighten ment "8peaklng of the Insurrection and of tha pretense that Filipino Independence of a wholesome character could thereby be ob tained, he wrote: When, In apite of my advire. a movement was iwdun, t ottered of ray own accord, not ouiy my srrvices but my lite, and even my gouU name, to be used In any way ihey niieht biieve effective in suiting the i-ebellion. 1 thought of tha aiaasier which ould lollow the buccms of the revolution, and 1 deemed mysvii fortunate if by any aacrilice I could block the progress ol such a ii!iiet8 calamity. My countrymen. I hsve given proof thst I was one woo sought liberty for our coun try, and I still seek it. 11 ut as a first step I Insisted upon the development of the people in order that, by means of edu cation and labor, they wight acquire the proptr Individual character and force which would make them worthy of it. In my writings 1 have commenced to you study and civic virtue, without which our re demption does not exist. I can not do it-mi than condemn, and I do condemn, this absurd aud savage Insurrection punned behind my hark, which diahonors lis be fore the Filipinos and discredits us with those who otherwtae would argue in our behalf. 1 abominate its cruel tl, a and dis avow any kind of connection with It, re gretting with all the sorrow of my soul hat these reckleaa men have allowed themselves to be deceived. Let them re turn, then, to thetr homes, and may God pardon thus who have acted in bad faith. AppUrm Mar Straaalr haw.' "This message embodied precisely and exactly the avowed policy upon which tho American government baa acted In tbe Philippine. What the patriot Rlsal said with such force In speaking of tha insur rection before we came to the islands ap plies with tenfold greater force to those who foolishly or wickedly opposed tbe mild and beneficent government we were in stituting in the Islands. The Judgment of the martyred public servant, Rlsal, whose birthday tbe Philippine people celebrate, and whom they worship as their hero and ideal, aets forth the duty of American sov ereignty, a duty from which the American people will never flinch. "While we have been doing these greet and beneficent works in the Islands, we have yet been steadily reducing the cost at which they are done. The last congress repealed the law for the war taxes, end the War department bas reduced I he army from the maximum number of 100,30, allowed under the law, to nearly the 'minimum of 60,000. "Moreover, tbe last congress enacted aome admirable legislation affecting the army, passing first of all the militia bill and then the bill to create a general staff. The militia bill represents the realisation of a reform which had been championed Ineffectively by Washington, and bad been fruitlessly agitated ever s'.nce. At last we have taken from tbe statute books the obsolete mllltla law of the revolutionary days and have provided for efficient aid to the national guard of the states. I believe that no other great country has such fine natural material tor volunteer soldiers as we have 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 organised with all poss'ble rapidity and efficiency in time of war, and, furthermore, to help ia every way the national guard in time of peace. "The mllltla law enacted by congress marka the first long step ever taken In this direction by the national government. The general-staff law Is of immense Im portance and benefit to the regular army. Individually I would not admit that the American regular, either officer or en listed men, is inferior to any other regular soldier in the world. In fact, if it were worth while to boaat, I should be tempted to say that he was the beat. But there must be proper training, proper organiza tion and administration in order to get the best service out of even the best troops. This is particularly the case with such a small army aa ours, scattered over so vast a country. We do not need a large reg ular army, but we do need to have, our small regular army the best thst can pos sibly be produced. Under the worn-out snd Ineffective ergsnlsatlon which baa hitherto exlated, a sudden atratn la ab solutely certain to produce the dislocation and confusion we saw at tha outbreak of tbe war with Spain, and when such disloca tion and confusion occurs It Is easy and natural, but entirely improper, to blame the men who happen to be In office. Instead of tbe system which Is really resopnslble. "Under the lew Just enacted by congress this system will be chsnged Immensely for the better, and every patriotic Ametlcan ought to rejoice, for when we corns te tbe army and the navy ws deal with tbe honor and intereata of all our people, and when such is tbe esse party lines are aa nothing, and we all stand shoulder to shoulder as Americana, moved only by pride In and love for our common country." JAMESTOWN, N. D.. April 7. President Roosevelt arrived this afternoon and after a brief address left for Bismarck.
