Throughout all the years of our history we have proclaimed our right to the title of being the land of the free. the refuge of the downtrodden. the asylum for the oppressed of every clime. and to our shores have come English. Irish. French. German. Jew and Gentile. Greek and barbarian. from nearly every land. but when have we ever had any immigration from the Philippines? When have any of the lusty sons of Luzon or Mindanao displayed their Adamite forms on Americas soil. except perchance as they may have disported on the gay Midway during the Worlds Fair? What folly to think of Americanizing these cannibalistic sea islanders.
