It is just here that our work ought to begin. But this local selfgovernment never went beyond the town or the village. it never grew and spread. as was the case with the Teutonic tribes and their descendants. The only central. state or national governments which the Eastern and Asiatic people have formed or set up have been invariably despotisms. They may have been tempered by assassination and palace intrigues. the revolts of factions may have changed dynasties. the wave of conquest may have ebbed and flowed. but the principle or the unlimited power ot one man. of the pure despot. whether it be Xerxes or Genghis Khan. the Sultan of Sulu. or an adventurer like Aguinaldo. has never failed and has maintained an undisputed acceptance throughout all the vast regions of the East. You can not change race tendencies in a moment.
