A keen, exhaustive and merciless criticism of the whole Philippine experiment....
Shows the historical reasons for the present method, and its effect on the senate and senators, and on state and local government, with a detailed review of the arguments for and against direct election.
He writes of the Filipinos as he found them, and with the knack of the true investigator, has avoided falling in with the political views of any party or faction.
More valuable still is his exposition of the Philippine question in its bearings on American life and politics.
