Of course, the class of business man" who followed close on the heels of the armý of oecu- pation was the adventurer, for the most part. The American adventurer, beachcomber, even af times the American camp-follower and the discharged or deserted soldier-thes were the class from which, for several years, the rumber of civilian Americans in the islanis was chiefly rearvited. The six service forc had grown to bo a small army of employee; before civil govornueut began, and hay since very considerably expauded. Siuce it. goverment began, too, there have come in some

It is not in point here to discuss the harm that is down by this class of American, as regards the good-feeling that ought to exist between Americans sud Filipino in order that the new and rather anomalous government we have instituted in the islands may succeed. But this clement is a constant insiace to such good feeling, and their cheap rac prejudice and generally jingoistic spirit are reflected almost constantly in the colomns of the American press of the Philippines which caters to the majority of Americans in the islands and thus serves as a barometer of American publ'c opinion in the islands. Herein lies the explaus- tion of the statement so often made that the Taft policy" is not popular with Americans in the Philippines.
