"Let me insist again upon the fact that our duty is twofold, and that we must raise others while we are benefiting ourselves. In
bringing order to the Philippines, our soldiers added a new page to the honor-roll of American history, and they incalculably benefited the islanders themselves. [T]he islands now enjoy a peace and liberty of which they have hitherto never even dreamed. But this
