Former Interior Secretary of the
Philippines Says Army Officers
Are Changed Too Often
NKW YORK, Dec. :'T lean i
Worcester, ex-Secretary of the inte
rior of the Philippine*, generally cred
ited with knowing more abbut the
Philippines than any ot'her living man.
|dec •lares that the constant change of
officials in the Moro provinces ac-
■ ounts for the lack of results.
Mr Worcester believes that, if prop
erly governed through men who sym
pathize with them, the Moron may be
made law abiding and self-respecting
citizens
Heretofore, the Distric, Governors
in the Morn Provinces, ’ Mr. Worcester
! Maid, “almost invariably have been
(army officers or constabulary officers.
The Moro knows nothing of politics,
nut understands individuals uncom
monly well, and in dealing with him
the personal equation is of vital ini
| portance. #
"Too often it has happened that just
, as a man was reaching ids maximum
! i.f usefulness he has been ordered
i Dlsew here.
General -Scott an Example.
“The case of General Scott, for a
time Governor of Jolo, affords an il
lustration In point. HeNhas wide cx-
1 perjence in dealing with the Indians
In out: country and knew' just how to
attack tin- Moro problem.
“The recent substitution of civilians
for army officers as District Govern
ors 1s a move in the right direction,
because < ivilians can be kept, in
office indefinitely, if they are success
ful in their work, and the retention in
office of men who demonstrate their
ability successfully to handle wild
people is a matter of fundamental im
portance in dealing with them.
"The time is approaching, and per
haps lias arrived, when it is the part
of wisdom to make a civilian the Gov
ernor of tin- Moios. The man who fills
this should be young and vigorous
and he should have a genuine sympa
thy with the people over whom he
rules, for the power of human sympa
thy is very great, and it is to this
fact that the*large degree of success
w hich has b<« n attained in dealing
with the more unruly hill tribyes in
Luzon is due. The old time simple
policy of tile square deal will win in
*the end with the Moro, as it has won
with the* Mongo, the Ifugao, the Kalin-
ga. the Bukidnon and the Manobo.
“My own experience in dealing with
primitive tribes has not been small,
and I want to say that I would a
thousand times rather undertake to
better the condition of a race of de
termined fighters, who take a hand in
shaping their own destinies than to
seek to help t he people of a broken-
spirited, discouraged tribe who fold
their hands and leave their fate to
Providence*”
Philippines replaced by represents -
live'; of the new Administration are
full of forbodings as to what will
happen with inexperienced men in
control.
The passing of Pershing brings to a
close a chapter in the Philippines, in
which political and personal influ
ence played a strong part, and in
which Colonel John P. Finley figures
as a man unique in the story of our
Pastern possessions.
Lord i ’romer did no greater thing
in Egypt than Colonel Finley in the
Philippines. A peerage was the re
ward of the former The latter has
been obliged to content himself with
honors from savages and decorations
from the Sultan of Turkey, while his
own superiors and Government have
worked against him.
According to the latest advices.
Colonel Finley is returning to the
scene of hip decade of labors under
orders from .Washington, while his
chief antagonist retires in favor of a
civil successor
Wood Recognized Ability.
So long as Major General Leonard
Wood was Governor of the Moro
Province this development of Finley s
policy went ahead to increasing suc

portance and placed himself on rec

He was succeeded by Pershing, a
son-in-law of Senator- Warren. of
Wyoming, who. through influence,
had been jumped from captain of
volunteers to Ids present rank. He
led the troops In their slaughter of
the Lake Lanado Moros lie knew
but one method of-dealing with sav
ages to kill them.
Between Pershing atul Finley there
grew up strained relations. The Moro
Exchanges were not actually wiped
out, but their operation was ham
pered and in the end Finley was di
rectly informed that it would be bet

where since his usefulness to the
Moros was at an end

In 1910 Finley reduced to continu

A surprise awaited Governor Finley
at Manila His place had been filled
at Zamboanga. He was not allowed
to return to the Moros. Governor
General Forbes admitted that since
Pershing did not want him back in
Zamboanga he would not be permit

The Governor General refused to
allow Finley to report to the Moros, j

received the leaders of the* people on I

None of them knew anything of

Whether Finley is again placed in

to lie seen.

Finley has done in the Philippines -
figuratively speaking. A captain of
infantry when he began, he has risen
in ten years to lieutenant colonel.
He has governed Zamboanga, part of
