Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 70, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1899 — Aguinaido the Man. [ARTICLE]

Aguinaido the Man.

Itt his features, face and skull Aguinaldo looks more Hke a European than a Malay. Thus says Review of Reviews. He is what would be called a handsome man, and might be compared with many young men In the province of Andalusia, Spain. If there be truth in phrenology he is a man above the common. The zone of the skull, which indicates mentality, is well developed for a European—abnormally large for a Malay. The moral zone is of medium development, and the animal or cerebellar zone is comparatively small, with the exception of the reach over the ears, indicating destructiveness and cruelty. The phrenologist would be borne out by the consensus of those who know him. Friends and enemies agree that he is intelligent, ambitious, far-sighted, brave, self-controlled, honest, moral, vindictive, and at times crueL He possesses the quality which friends call wisdom and enemies call craft. According to those who like him he is courteous, polished, thoughtful, and dignified; according to those who dislike him he is insincere, pretentions, vain and arrogant. Both admit him to be genial, generous, self-sacrificing,' popular, and capable in the administration of affairs. If the opinion of his foes be accepted he is one of the greats est Malays on the page of history. If the opinion of his friends be taken as the criterion he is one of the great men of history Irrespective of race.
