SOME FACTS AND
FANCIES ABOUT
THE PHILIPPINES
| *
h
There Has Been Much Misrepre
v sentation in America About
People and Conditions.
By MAXIMO M. KALAW,
Secretary of the Philippine Mleelen.
I A certain lady
Exposition saw at
toned man In fault
less evening dress
and accosted him
"I suppose yon are
"Then yon mnst
be Chinese," she
Mlximo M. Kelaw. j ln not
I am a Filipino," he replied.
"How's that?" asked the lady. "I
thought they were al) savages living In
the woods."
"Well, I'll tell you how I came here,"
he said. "A month before I left the
Philippines I was living In the woods,
bat the American Governor decided to
catch as many wild men as possible,
train them and send them over here.
So here I am, just as you see." And
the St Louis lady actually believed
him.
That Is what yon would call (ancles
about the Philippines. The fact Is,
however, that the 11,000,000 Filipinos
and their ancestors have been civilized
and Christians for 300 years; that the
■oa-Christian population, according to
the census of 1818, is only 600,000, and
even these are not all uncivilized.
Another fancy Is that not until the
coming of the Americans were school
buildings seen ln the Islands, roads ,
built, or substantial honses erected.
Do you know that for hundreds of |
year* the Filipinos have had colleges
and schools and that the University of
Santo Tomas 1s only twenty-fire years
alder than Harvard? That as early as
1866, out of a population of 4,000,000
people, then were 841 schools for boys
and 833 for girls? That ln 1892, eight
years before the coming of the Ameri
cans, there were 2,137 schools?
"To grant self-government to Luzon
nnder Agulnaldo would be like grant
ing self-government to an Apache res
ervation under some local chief." Thus
spoke a former President of the United
States during the Filipino-American
war. Exaggeration could be an excuse
at a time when the dignity of the Am
erican peoplq demanded the extinction
•f Filipino opposition, but do you know
that the Philippine Republic, before the
American occupation of the
had the approval of prominent Ameri
cans who were on the spot—like John
Barrett, Director of the Pan-American
Union, who compared it favorably with
the Japanese government? That Ad
miral Dewey considered the Filipinos
better fitted for self-government than
the Cubans? That they had drafted a
, constitution at Malalos which elicited
I the approval of distinguished Repub
licans like the late Senator George F.
Hoar? That before the coming of tho
Americans they had produced national
heroes like the martyred Jose Rlzsl,
pronounced by a Republican congress
man, Representative Cooper, as, the
noblest victim that has ever fallen Into j
the clutches of tyranny?
And do you know that the Filipinos
have not had for hundreds of years any
caste system, blood distinction or royal
families, and that, unlike their oriental
sisters, they are the only Christian peo
ple In the orient?
People have pictured an Ignorant
mass of Filipinos, Illiterate, poor, liv
ing a life of servitude for a few
wealthy land owners and foreigners,
with no houses or farms or property
of their own. Do you know that 70
per cent, of the people above ten years
of age can read and write and that this
percentage of literacy is almost as high
as some of the states of the Union?
That It Is higher than ln any country
of South America, higher thsn the lit
eracy of the Spanish people, and un
questionably above that of any of the
new countries recognized In Europe?
Do you know that there are a million
and a half farms ln the Philippines
and that 96 per cent, of these farms
are owned by Filipinos. In other words,
that out of the 11,000,000 Christian
Filipinos, 8,000,000 of them at least live
on their own farms, with houses of
their own. Independent of any absentee
landlord or foreign master? That 91
per cent of the urban property con
sisting of houses and lands Is owned
by the natives of the Philippines, and
only 9 per cent Is ln the hands of for
eigners? Yet these are facta cabled by
Acting Governor Charles Emmett Yea
tcr to the War Department from tho
recent census estimates.
Having solemnly promised tho Fiil
pi-ios tbelr independence and having
gone before the world as the champion
of self-determination, tho Filipino peo
ple cannot understand how America
ran consistently refuse to make good
these promises.
CLIMATE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Tho Philippine Islands have% mild
ly tropical climate. The nlrhts are
coal tn J sunstrokes are unknown. Tho
temperature record for the past thirty
years shows a» average of 80 degrees.
Chinese Shoes.
The Chinese are gradually adoptlni
the European style of footwear. At
the present time, almost 40 per cent
of the footwear In China Is reported
to be of European style. Domestic fac
tories of which Canton has twenty,
Hongkong Ave and nearly every port
of China at least one, are chiefly for
the manufacture of the red leather
used for the soles of the native shoe*.
Th« of native shoes are genef»
ally made from cloth or an Imitation
box calf.
DAUGHTER OF
AGUINALDO IN |
U. S. CAPITAL!
She Meets Many Wives of Amer- i
loan Statesmen and
I
Makes a Hit. wiv. I
When General Emlllo Agulnaldo was 1
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably iltflo dreamed that some day
• daughter of his would visit the city
of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con
gressional Club I And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con
gress and two wives of members of the
President's cabinet would call upon |
her to pay their respects I - -|
But all thla actually happened when
Ulss Carmen Agulnaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington j
recently. And those wives of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves |
as both charmed and surprised at ths
refined, tactful, college educated young i
miss who greeted them.
"Miss Agulnaldo was simply delight
ful," was the expression of one con
gressman's wife. "She was very mod
est yet she acted so natural and thor-

Filipino Army.
oughly at home that she captivated ev
i erybody."
Qn another occasion while In Wash
ington Miss Agulnaldo was given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited "My Last Fare
well," poem of Dr. Jose Rlzal, the Fil
ipino martyr.
"Miss Agulnaldo is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urbana, 111.
While ln Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime C. deVeyra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congresslonsl library
1 appealed particularly to the young
Flllplna, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
i swered:
"It Is a wonderful country. I didn't
' like winter at first, but since I have
learned how to skate 1 am having fine
times. All the Americans whom I have
met havo been very good to me. My |
friends in Urbsna and my classmates |
in the university are Just lovely, but I
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because I am missing my father. My
coming here was Indeed a great sacri
fice for him, for wo are very close. He
is so good to me."
Miss Agulnaldo Is Intensely patriotic, j
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or resds of a misrepre
sentation of the Filipinos. "It Is un
fortunate," she once exclaimed ln s
voles full of sadness, "that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by tho people of Am- I
erica."
Politics is tabooed In any conversa
tion with this Filipino maid. Hhe
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "AH I can say," she I
declares, "Is that I share with my j
father ln the desire for Independence j
for my native land. There Is no ques
tion sbout our being sble to govern
ourselves."
Filipinos declare Miss Agulnaldo has
S "genuine Flllplna temperament"—
that Is, she does not believe In the oc
cidental custom of "dates" between ,
young men and women. She does not
see snythlng wrong tn it, she says, bat '
It Is such a violent departure from the
custom ln tho Philippines thst she can
not adopt It. t
"You might laugh at me," she said,
"but I cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned. I simply csn't
I will go back to my country with tho
soul of a Flllplna."
A newspaper In one of ths large Am
erican cities that Miss Agulnaldo visit- {

Rice Terraces Are World's Masterpieces
This Is a photograph of the Ifugno Igorrot rice terraces, which are among
the most remarkable of their kind In the world, They are one of the many
marvelous sights for the tourist to see ln the Philippine Islands and are to bo
found in the Ifugao district of the Mountain province. Northern Luzon.
The height of these terraces, which are held up by s ono walls, Is from 4
to 18 feet averaging 8 feet high. It Is estimated there ure 12,121 miles of
eight-foot stone walls In the Ifugao terraces, v hich is approximately half
tho distance around the world.
These terraces are skillfully Irrigated by water brought lu troughs along

How Would You Like to Harvest Two Crops

No, reader, this corn was not grown

The Philippines are doing some won

The Philippine government has tine ag

GOV.-GENERAL
OF PHILIPPINES
FOR FREEDOM
Declares It Not Right That Free

■y FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON, '
Qovornor-Qsnoral of tho Philippines.
(First Article.)
My six years' ex
perlence as gov-
K ernor - general of
H the Philippine Is-
F lands have con
vinced me that the
Filipino people are
■ 4W ready anil fit to
1M havo their lade-
W : "SlyW pendence. I have
recommended to
HP Congress, as well
as to the executive
sd ministration,
QovToen. Harrison £*^ D n s t tr d,n *
As to the question of ths stability of
government I wish to say to the Am
erican people upon my responsibility
as ths governor-general that in my
opinion there exists today in ths Phil
ippine Islands a stable government
which I think should answer the re
quirements laid down by Presidents
Grant and McKlnley, and as I under
stand it, also by Mr. Root —namely, a
government elected by the suffrage of
the people, which is supported by the
people, which Is capable of maintain
ing order and of fulfilling its interna
tional obligations.
I am very glad to go on record as be
ing eatlrely ln sympathy wltji the as
pirations of the Filipino nation for In
dependence.
I have recommended to Congress
that tn granting Independence aonie
provision be made similar to what Is
known as the Piatt amendment In the
treaty with Cabs, which restricts ths
ability of the new republic In borrow
ing of foreign governments and also
permits the United States to Interfere
with tho affairs of the new republic In
case conditions of disorder should bs
found to prevail. Such recommenda
tion does not come as an expression of
the views of the Filipinos; It Is my
own view of what would be deslrabls
to secure a feeling of confidence and
satisfaction on the part of al| persons
who have already Invested money In
the Philippines or who contemplate do
ing so In the near future.
Rut It Is /not right that Independence
itself should longer be delayed.
By temperament, by experience, by
financial ability. In every way, the
11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to
be free from every government except
of their own choice. They are Intelli
gent enoukh to decide for themselves.
I have found the native Filipino of
ficial to be honest, efficient and as ca
pable of administering executive posi
tions as any men I have met anywhare
In the world.
These officials are today governing
1,000 municipalities and forty-two
provinces, economically, efficiently and
for the good of tho entire people. They
have a native congress, Including many
graduates of Yale, Princeton, Harvard
and other American universities. Oth
er members are graduates oiMnto To-
otijer Philippine universities,
and tn education and ability they com
pare favorably with any I know.
They have leaders like Speaker Os
mena of the House of Representatives
snd President Quezon of the Senato
who would adorn any office.
The Philippines are away ahead of
the United States In successful govern
ment ownership and operation of pub
lic utilities.
The government took hold of ths
steam railways and made them pay a
profit of 1,000,000 pesos a year moro
than under private ownership.
It took hold of the highways, and
we havo 7,000 miles of the best mac
adamized roads In tho world. Tho
Manila city government Is about to
take over the street railways and tho
gas and electric plants, while ths ter
ritorial government Is arranging for
ownership and control of the coal sup
p'r.
The movement for Independenes Is
s pesceful one. No territory was mors
loyal to Uncle Hern during the war. It
offered an armed and equipped division
to our government, gave It a subma
rine destroyer and oversubscribed Lib
erty loans snd Red Truss funds
Two million nstlves speak English
fluently, snd there are 700,000 English
speaking children ln the public scheols.
I am mere then wlHlng to retlrs If
the Filipinos csn lie grouted whst they
deserve —s government like that of tho
United States.
A MISREPRESENTED RACE.
The Filipino people are a much mis
represented race. The frequent pub
lication of pictures of semi-naked Min
danao Uoros and Igorotes hss caused
a great many Americans to believe
they are typical of the Inhabitants of
the Philippines. Such Is fsr from tha
esse, however. Of 11,000/(00 Inhab
itants of the Islands, 10,300,000 are •
