TAFT BIG STATESMAN ON
HIS PHILIPPINE RECORD,
SAYS CHARLES D, HILLES
By CHAKIiUIS D. HILLES.
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. —The remark
able success of the government which
President Taft instituted in the Philip
pines, which success becomes more evi
dent year by year as new problems
arise and it is seen that the system
Instituted by Mr. Taft is adequate to
meet and solve them, should prove to
all thoughtful people the wisdom of
the president, his ability as a states
man and. incidentally, the fact that in
numerous instances it takes time for
the benefits of wise statesmanship to
become apparent.
Striking tribute to the admirable re
sults achieved by Mr. Taft in the Phil
ippines is paid by the Right Reverend
Homer C. Stuntz. now Episcopal bishop
of Buenos Ayres, but who was sta
tioned in the Philippines when Mr. Taft
■was governor of the islands.
Writing to Richard H. Templeton, of
Buffalo, qujte recently, Bishop Stuntz
said, in part, of the work of Mr. Taft:
Six Big Items.
"His should be the credit for at least
six of the big bits of legislative work.
"1. The public school system, under
which more than 600,000 Filipino youth
now enjoy free educational advan
tages. More people already speak Eng
lish than could ever speak Spanish,
and we have had eleven years at the
work—nearly.
"2. Abolition of slavery in all its
forms—peon system and all.
"3. Establishing a new currency sys
tem on a gold basis.
"4. The constabulary act, by which a
force has been called into existence
which enforces public order as fully as
that is done in the states.
“5. Establishing an entirely newsys
tem of judiial procedure, with Ameri
can judges and a civil and criminal
code prepared by President Taft that
is better, in my judgment, than any
similar code in use in civilized lands.
"6. An act granting religious tolera
tion.
“I think that Mr. Taft will go down
in history as the ablest white ruler
who ever had executive control .over
any Asiatic people in all the years of
colonial history.”
Calls This Free Trade a Boon.
Os hardly less importance than of
any of these was that measure of free
trade between the United States and
the Philippines which President Taft,
solely as the result of his own untir
ing efforts, succeeded in inducing con
gress to authorize in the Payne tariff
bill. The producers of the tobacco
and of cane and beet sugar in the
United States regarded with an in
tense and an unwarranted dread the
free admission of Philippine products.
Circumstances have proved the ac
curacy of Mr. Taft's foresight, the
breadth of his statesmanship. The
Filipino continues to sell his products
to the Chinese, but the fact that he has
at his disposal the markets of the
United States enables him to demand
fair prices, and the Chinaman is now
compelled to pay them. For instance,
the Filipino now charges the China
man 2 cents a pound more for sugar
and he gets it, and as a consequence
the Philippines are enjoying an era of
prosperity such as they never knew be
fore.
Taft's Infinite Tact Shown.
No one who has not seen at close
NAMES OF MEN LONG
DEAD STILL ON MONON
RAILWAY’S PAY ROLL
NEW ALBANY, IND.. Aug. 23. -That
dead men have been on the payroll of
the Monon railroad and that wages have
been paid in their names for years was
revealed by the trip of the first pay ear
that has been used on the road in years,
payment heretofore having been by
check.
President Fairfax Harrison made the
trip with the car. At Lafayette every
employee of the road had to go to the
car in person and draw his pay. The
'■dead man” list for the month was over
*2OO. It was found that three men whose
wages have been paid regularly have
been dead for years.
A shake-up is predicted.

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT
TO ATLANTANS TO SEE
TI;E WOMAN DOCTOR’
Those who have missed seeing "The
Woman Doctor,” presented by the
King-Murray-Jones Musical Comedy
company at the Bonita theater, 32
Peaehtuee street, have passed up one
of the best shows of the season. The
play is admirably adapted to this com
pany, offering many entries for “The
Pretty Girl Chorus," who are making a
greater success this week than ever
before.
Good comedy, catchy songs and ar
tistic dancing, in addition to lots of
fine motion pictures, make It the great

range the evils which had resulted
from union of church and state in
the Philippines, nor has had an oppor
tunity to observe the almost inextri
cable tangle which that system had
produced, can form a correct estimate
of the value of the separation effected
by Mr. Taft, nor appreciate the infinite
tact which was required to effect that
separation without doing violence to
the sentiments and convictions of the
people.
And equally, no one who has not
seen for himself the benefits which
have resulted from the purchase of
the friars’ lands, their division, into
small homesteads and their sale to the
people on easy terms, can form an ade
quate estimate of the immense bene
fit of that great work to the Philippine
people who have been converted from
a nation of tenants to a nation of in
dependent land owners and farmers.
