Our Imperial Duty to Govern the Philippines by Example
In a forceful oration, the speaker argues Americans must govern the Philippines with simple strong administration, not self rule for unprepared peoples. He urges capable, incorruptible administrators, a unified colonial system, and wariness toward granting immediate self government. He defends constitutional power to govern distant territories and frames imperial governance as a civilizing mission.
