All wo do Is to give them the opportunity to develop the capacity for self-govern ment. If we nail followed the advice of the foolish doctrinaire* who wlnhed ua my tlmo during the last ten year# to i tha Filipino people adrift, we jld have shirked the plainest poaal- duty and have Inflicted a last Ins tic upon the Filipino people. We have acted In exactly the opposite spirit. We have given the Filipino* constitu tional government; a government bused upon justice; and we have shown that we have governed them for their good and not for our aggrandlaement. At the present time, a* during the past ten year*, the Inexorable logic of facta shows that thl* government must ha supplied by ua and not by them. We must he wise and generous; we must help the Filipinos to master the difficult art of self-control, which Is simply an other name for self-government. Hut we ran not giva them self-government ■ave In the sense of governing them so tlmt gradually they may. If they are able, learn to govern themselves. Un der the present system of Just law* nnd sympathetic administration, we have every reason to believe that they are gradually acquiring the character which lira at the haxls of self-government, and for which. If It be lacking, no svstein of law*, no paper con*tltutlofl, will in any wise serve aa a substitute. Our people In the Philippine* have a'Moved what may legttligately l,e .ailed a marvelous suoceaa In giving to them n government which marks on the part of those in au thority hoth the necessary understanding of the people and the necessary purpose to sene them disinterestedly and In good faith. I trust that within a gen eration the time will arrive when the Philippine* can decide f„ r themselves whether It In well for them to become independent, or to continue under the protection of a strong and disinterested power, able to guarantee to the islands ordei at home and pmteetlor. from for eign Invasion.
