The Republican party itself has forsaken its old war cry of "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." It has denied the Filipinos any participation in the Government. proclaiming that they are not fit. The southern people know they are unfit. We do not dispute it. but in the name of common sense and honest dealing. if the Filipinos are unfit. why are the negroes fit? Everybody knows that the Caucasian stand:3 first. the Mongolian second. the Malay third. the Indian fourth. and the negro fifth in the scale of civilization as fixed by ethuologists. We have had to deal with the other four races besides our own. We have excluded the Chinese.
