Chapter XIV

The Taft Commission 282-344

Shows how the Taft Commission, born of the McKinley Benevolent

Assimilation theory that there was no real fundamental opposition

to American rule, lived up to that theory, in their telegrams

sent home during the presidential campaign of 1900, and in 1901

set up a civil government predicated upon their obstinate but

opportune delusions of the previous year.

"The papers 'id it 'andsome

But you bet the army knows."
