In this way I have seen a pretty fair croms-section of Philippine so- elety, high and low and middie class. My impreasion is the Filipines can govern themselves as well as any one of » dozen small nations I might name. The vast majority of Filipinos are literate. There are 5,720 primary schools in the islands, 508 interme- diate, $7 secondary, 178 vocational, 15 colleges and two universities for & Population of 10,350,730. MES There is a large class of well-edu- cated people—people who could and do hold their own in any society. They are patriotic, Tt ts said that but 6 per cent of Filipinos are renters. They own their homes. The 1918 census shows 1,955,276 farms in the ‘9 were owned by Fill- inst only 2,678 by Amer- jeans, 1,612 by Asiatics generally, 950 by Europeans and 3,457 by all other nationaljties put together, As in Frante, the individual farm is small, the average being about five acres. Irrigation 1s rapidly coming into use, 458,747 farms now being irri gated with natural current and 13,- 147 with a forced flow, Pauperism is very scarce in the islands. One sees more beggars in Chicago or New York than here. The people are law-abiding. A Manila newspaper asked in its head- line if a erime-wave was on in the Philippines, Two cutting scrapes and one robbery were reported in one day, the entire islands consid- j=oe SANITATION BAD |BUT IMPROVING Broadway alone can beat that in the dullest of times. | Sanitation ts bad in the provinces, but is improving. It is no worse, however, than in rural communities prior to the civil war in the United States when no one dared question the capacity of Americans to govern themselves, There are election frauds. Mich- igan, Filipinos point ont, recently ,ained some notoriety on a similar jcharge. And there may be graft. But Cincinnati once proved there could be graft and capacity to gov- tune AT’ te not perfect In the Philip pines, but from thetr point of view— and as @ Qistinct people they must have thelr own point of view—they are fitted to govern themaecives. Fillpinos have been self-governing, to all intents, for eight yearn In 3913 the Filipinos already had 4 lower house when Governor Har rinon, at President Wilson's behest, in the islands and all save the su- preme court are presided over by Filipinos with the possible exception of one or two courts of first in- stance. * The supreme court is composed of nine justices, four of whom are Fill- pinon, The attorney general and a great [number of assistants are all Fill pinos. So are the vast majority of lawyers practicing tn the courts. It is charged by Americans and some Filipinos that the dockets are crowded, that pustice has erred at times, that Injustices have resulted, and there are privileged classes, and so on. I have heart similar charges in various parts of the United States. | WOULD THEY BE |GOING TO THEIR DOOM? But would the Philippines be bet- ter off independent? Here is what Mr. Justice James F. Tracey, for a long time a member of the supreme court of the islands, once declared: “Were I a Filipine I should say to my people: ‘Banish this dream of glory: let us remain with the United states.’ “On the other hand, se an American, 1 foel constrained to say: ‘Your decision now is prema- ture; take time, But if, after mature deliberation, you desire to eut loose from us, then I shall say in sorrow: ‘The repub- He fastens no yoke on an unwil- ling people; depart, but know that in going you go to your own destruction.’ ” Many Americans in the Islanda thoroly agree with Mr. Justice Tracey. { I do not believe they would go to thelr doom. My honest conviction 1s, after studying the people and con- ditions, that the Filipino can make it a go. But T also believe thelr progress { i | would be slower, that they would be lless well off in general and, in the jend, would very probubly ask to be jallowed to come back under the | American flag, even if granted com- | plete severance, Simms tefl in his next story how trouble In the Philippines may be precinitatedy EXPANSION Keeping pace with the splendid progress of the city of Seattle, “Sweet Sixteen” has made advancement that has to be taken care of through larger quarters and extended facilities. i HE VERY GENEROUS PATRONAGE “Sweet Sixteen” has enjoyed at the hands of Seattle women during the first year of our business in this city has prompted us to secure the lease of the Victoria Shoe Shop, which premises we have completely refitted as a really modern Women’s Specialty Shop.
