THE SUNDAY OREGONLAJS, PORTLAND, AUGUST 24, 1905. ATTEND TO BUSINESS Teachers in Philippines Are Not Proselytizing. REPLY TO RECENT CHARGES Acting: Superintendent of Public In atructlon Bqwen's Report Sectary lanlsm in. SchooHs of the Islands. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 The Bureau of Insular Affairs of the "War Department has made public the .report of Frank H. Bowen, Acting Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Philippine Islands, up on charges made in the United States against the school system of the 'Island alleging that it was used as e -proselytizing agency against Catholics, and generally used to the prejudice of Catholicism. The charges were forwarded to Manila, and the reply -was made'- to Acting Governor Wright. The report of Superintendent Bowen is dated July 7, and la a general end specific denial of the chargea He says that of 20 persons who have been division superintendents, only one has ever been a clergyman. Three , divi sion superintendents were appointed from a list submitted by leaders of the Roman Catholic church in the United States. In this connectlpn the report says: "The question of the religious belief of applicants and appointments was never considered until late in 190L At that time a special list of applications, gath ered by the authorities of the Roman Catholic church in the United States, was sent to the civil government of the island, and transmitted to the gen eral superintendent. From these spe cial lists three division superintend ents and 22 teachers, were appointed. In reporting these appointments to the civil government, the general superintendent stated: 'I have had much difficulty in finding people in this lot of applications who are possessed of tho educational preparation and teaching experience which is required of other appointees in this department. These who have not been selected seem to bo wholly unsuit able " The only departure from strict nonsec tarianism in the conduct of tho schools was a provision of the. Philippine Com mission, which made it lawful for a priest or minister of any established church in a puebla where a public school is connect ed to teach religion for one-half hour three times a week in the school building to pupils whose parents have expressed a wish for such Instruction. Concerning proselytizing, tho report says: "Not only is no proselytizing allowed or attempted in any of the public schools, but inquiry of the leaders of the four principal Protestant denominations here brings out the fact that, so far as is known by these leaders, there is not one native Protestant Sunday school teacher in the entire archipelago. Tho statements that not one-third of the Protestant teachers ever taught a day before going to the Philippine? and that Catholic teachers are sent to the distant provinces are emphatically denied." The assertion is made that the educa tional department has no knowledge of tho distribution of Bibles in a private church school by missionaries. It is also stated that the conditions of the public schools' in the Philippines do not warrant the statement that they are worse in tho island, as viewed from a Catholic stand point, than in the United States. The re port closed with the following:. "The venomous attack on the Philippine Commission, especially tho Filipino mem bers thereof, who are termed traitors and rascals, serves to show the degree of bit terness and recklessness which character izes the whole article. The negotiations at present under way In Rome in regard to the church lands in these islands Is sufficient refutation of the last wild state ment of this extraordinary production, in which not one material statement is true." CASCO FRAUDS. No Special In vex titration Will Be Made by the Department. "WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. In regard to the sensational newspaper reports hint ing at gross irregularities and fraud in the unloading of United States trans ports at ports In the Philippines, and de claring that a searching Investigation is about to be made to discover tho guilty parties, Frederick RIttman, auditor of the "War Department, stated most posi tively today that no special investigation is being conducted by him in that mat ter. The charges were to the efflect that tho tonnage of tho small Philippine cas coes which heretofore- have been used to take transport stores ashore was in a number of cases falsely set down at a higher figure. Payment for the service of the cascoes was mado in proportion to their tonnage, and the reports allege that the Government had suffered losses bythe false statements. Mr. Rittman stated that in the ordinary course of rou tine business the "War Department has supplied him with a schedule showing the registered tonnage of all the little Filipino craft. This will be used in the examination of Quartermasters' accounts, and every delinquency can thus bo trough! tu light The auditor makes the point, however, that the matter is not to be mado the subject of a special Investi gation, but is simply tP be dealt with as a routine affair.

"Believing that every property-owner, individual or corporate, should pay a full and equal measure of taxation upon a full and fair assessment on property possessed, we favor the creation of a state tax com mission, to be-composed of elective state officers, thus- avoiding the necessity of additional salaried officials, which shall assess at its full valuation all corporate property lying in more than a single county of the state, and shall apportion to the several counties their proper share of such tax, tho same to be beyond the power of any local board to change or re bate."

For that position it followed the precedent established two years ago, and indorsed Judge Netterer, the present Dem ocratic incumbent. A platform was adopt ed opposing Coernor McBride's policy, which favors tho creation of a railway commission, and one plank of it insinuates that his present agitation savors of the Populist propaganda of a few years ago. Judge H. E. Vadley was indorsed for re election to the Supreme Bench. Not a friend of Governor McBrlde was allowed to go to the Republican state convention, even State Fish Commissioner T. R.

""Wise, lawo and fearless and upright ad ministration of the law can give the op portunity for such prosperity as that wo see about us. But this Is all that they can do. When the conditions have been created which make prosperity possible then each individual must achieve it for himself, b- his own thrift, intelligence, energy. Industry and resolute purpose. If when people wax fat they kick, as they have been prone to do since the days of Jeshurun, they will speedily destroy their own prosperity. If they go into wild spec ulation and lose their heads, they have lost that which no explanation can supply, and the business world will suffer In con sequence. If, in a spirit of sullen envy, they insist upon pulling down those who have profited most by the years of fatness, they will bury themselves In the crash of common disaster. It 13 difficult to make our material condition better by tho best laws, but it Is easy enough by bad law3 to throw the whole Nation into an abyss of misery- "Now, the upshot of all this Is that it is peculiarly Incumbent upon us in a time of such material well-being both as a Na tion and individuals, each on his own account, to show that we possess the qual ities of prudence, self-knowledge and self restraint. In our Government we need abovo all things stability, fixity of eco nomic policy, while remembering that this fixity must not be inability to shape our courso anew to meet the shifting needs of the people as theso needs arise. There are real and great evils in our social and economic life. There is every need of striving in all possible ways, individually and collectively, by combinations among ourselves in private life and through the recognized organs of government, for tho cutting out of these evils. Only let us bo sure that we do not use tho knife of the ignorant zeal which would make it moro dangerous to tho patient than to the dis ease. Growth of Corporations. "One of tho dangers of tho tremendous industrial growth of the last generation has been tho very great Increase in largo private and especially in large corporate fortunes. We may like this or not, just as we please, but it is a fact, neverthe less, and as far as we can see. It is an inevitable result of the working of various causes, prominent among which has been tho immense Importance steam and elec tricity have assumed in modern life. "It la not true that the poor people have grown pobrer. but some of the rich have grown so very much richer that where multitudes of men are herded together in a limited space the contrast strikes the onlooker as more violent than formerly. On the whole, our people earn moro and live better than ever before, and the prog ress of which we are so proud could not havo taken place had it not been for the great upbuilding of industrial centers such as our commercial and manufacturing cities. "But together with the good there has come a measure of evil. Life is not so simple as it was. and surely both for the individual and the community tho simple life is normally the healthy life. There 1b not in the cities tho same sense of com mon underlying brotherhoodwhlch there is still in country localities, and tho lines of social cleavage are far more clearly marked. "For some of the evils which have at tended upon tho changed conditions, we can at present see no complete remedy. For others the remedy must come by the action of men themselves in their private capacity, whether merely as individuals or by combination one with another. For yet others some remedy can be found in legislative and executive action. Nation al. state and municipal. "Much of the complaint Against com binations is entirely unwarranted. Under present-day conditions it is as necessary to have corporations in the business world as it is to have organization among wageworkers. But wo havo a right to ask in each case that they shall do good and not harm. Exactly as labor organ izations, when managed intelligently and in a spirit of justice and fair play, are of very great Bervico not only to the wageworkers, but to tho wholo commun ity, as ' tho history of many large or ganizations has conclusively shown, so wealth, not merely individual, but cor porate, when used aright, is not merely a benefit to the community as a whole, but indispensable to the upbuilding of tho country, under the conditions which at present the country has grown not only to accept, but to demand as normal. This is so obvious that it seems trite even to state it, and yet If wo are to judge from some of tho arguments advanced against and attacks mado upon wealth as such, it is a fact worth keeping In mind. "Wealth Should JCot Be Condemned. "A great fortune, if not used aright, makes its possessor in a peculiar sense a menace to the community as a whole, just as a great intellect does if it is not accompanied by developed conscience, by character. But obviously this no more affords grounds for condemning wealth than it does for condemning intellect Every man of power, by the very fact of that pdwer. is capablo of doing dam ago to his neighbor, but we cannot afford to discourage the development of such men merely because it is possible they may use their power to wrong ends. If we did so we should leave our 'history a blank, for we should have no grea.t statesmen, soldiers or merchants, no great men of arts, orators or of science. "Doubtless on the average the most useful man to his fellow-cltlzens Is apt to be he to whom has been given what the psalmist prayed for, neither poverty nor riches, but the great captain of in dustry, the man of wealth, who alone or in combination with his fellows drives through our great business enterprises, is a factor without which this country could not possibly maintain its present industrial position In the world. Good, not harm, normally comes from the pil ing up of wealth through business en terprises. Probably the most serious harm resulting to the people of mod erate means Is when we harm ourselves by letting the dark and evil vices of envy and hatred toward our fellows eat Into our natures. "Still there is other harm of a more evident kind, and such harm it is our clear duty to try to eradicate if possible, and m any event to minimize. The cor porations, and, therefore, those great cor porations containing some tendency to monopoly, which we havo grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts, are tho crea tures of thf- state, and tho state not only has the risht to control them, but Is in duty bound to control them wherever the need for such control Is shown. There Jo clearly a need of supervision need to exercise the power of regulation on the part of the representatives of the public, wherever, us in our country at the pres ent time, business corporations become so very strong, both for beneficent work and for work that is not always bene ficial. It Is idle to say that there is no need for such supervision.

"There is In our country a peculiar difficulty In the way of exercising "such supervision and control, because of - the peculiar division of governmental power When the industrial conditions were sim ple, very little control was needed, and no trouble was caused by the doubt as to where power was lodged under the Consti tution. New conditions are complicated, and we find it difficult to frame National legislation which shall be adequate, while as a matter of practical experience state action has proved entirely insufficient, and in all human probability cannot or will not be made sufficient, to meet the needs of the case. I believe that the Nation must assume this power pf control by leg islation, and if it becomes evident that the Constitution will not permit needed legislation, then by Constitutional amend ment. "The immediate need in dealing with trusts is to place them under the real, not nominal, control of some sovereign, to which, as its creature, the trusts shall owe alieglance. and lit whose courts the sovereign's orders may with certainty be enforced. In my judgment this sovereign must bo the National Government. When it has been given full power, then this full power can be used to control any evil Influence, exactly as the Government Is now using tho power conferred upon it under the Sherman anti-trust law. Even when the full power has been con ferred, It would be highly undesirable lo attempt too much, or to- begin by stringent legislation. The mechanism of modern business is as delicate and com plicated as It Is vast, and nothing would be moro productive of evil to all of us, and especially to those least well off In this world's goods, than Ignorant med dling with this mechanism, and above all If the meddling was done in a spirit of class or sectional rancor. "It is desirable that this power should bo possessed by tho Nation, but it Is quite as desirable that the power should be exercised with moderation and self-restraint- The first exercise of that power should be tho securing of publicity among all great corporations doing an Interstate business. The publicity, though nonln qulsltorlal, should be real and thorough as to all important facts with which the public bat concern. Value of Publicity. "The full light of day is a great dis courager of evil. Such publicity would by itself tond to correct the evils of which there is Just complaint and where tho alleged evils are Imaginary it would tend to show that such was the case. "When publicity Is attained it would then be possible to soo what further should bo dono In the way of regulation. Above all. It behooves us to remember not only that wo ought to try to do what we can, but that our success in doing it depends very much upon our neither at tempting nor executing tb,e Impossible. Distrust the man who offers you a patent cure-all for the evils of the body politic, just s you would distrust him who tries to sell you a medicine to euro all tho dis eases of your corporal bodies. Mankind lias moved slowly upward through tho ages, sometimes a little faster, sometimes a little slower, but rarely, indeed, by leaps and bounds. At times a great crisis comes, in which a great people, perchance led by a great man, can at whlto heat strlko some mlghtly blow for the right make somo long stride in advance along tho path of oderly liberty and justice. But normally we must bo content if each of us can do something, by no, means all that we wish, but still something for the ndvancemont of those principles of righte ousness which underlie all real National greatness, all real civilization. "I eeo no promise of a complete solu tion for all the problems wo group together when we speak of the trust question. But wo can moke a beginning In solving these problems, and a good be ginning .If only we approach the subject with a sufficiency of resolution of honesty and of that hard common sense which is ono of tho most valuable, and, unfortu nately, not one of the most common assets in the equipment of any people. Question of Administration. "I think tho National Administration has shown its firm intention to enforce the laws as they now stand on tho statute books without regard to persons, and I think that good has come from this en forcement I think, furthermore, that additional legislation should bo had and can be had which will enable us to accom plished more than has been accom plished along these samo lines. No ono can promise a perfect solution, at least in tho Immediate future, but something has already been done, and much- moro can be done if our people temperately and determinedly will that It shall bo done. "In conclusion, let roe add one word. Whllo we aro not to be excused if we fail to do whatever Is possible through tho agency of government we must ever keep in mind that no action by the Government, no action by any combination among our selves, can take the place of tho indi vidual qualities to which. In the long run,' each man must owe his success. There has never been devised, and there never will be devised.. any law which will enable a man to succeed save by the exercise of those qualities which have always been the prerequisites of success the qualities of hard work, of keen intelligence, of un flinching will. No action by the state in any form can do more than supplement tho Initiative of tho individual, and ordi narily the action of the state can do no more than secure to each individual the chance to show, under as "favorable con ditions as possible, the stuff of which he Is made."

Governor Kimball was in waiting in the reception-room of the executive offices with members of tho general and personal staffs, when President Roosevelt, escort ed by Brigadier-General Tanner, entered tho building. After a few moments had been conyumed In presenting the officers, luncheon was served- and the party then proceeded to the beautiful reception-room, where the Lieutenant-Governor, members of tho General Assembly, general officers of the state. Justices of the Court and other persons of note were in waiting. At 12:15 the procession through tho city began. The residential and business tac tions of the city were gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and for the greater part of the way there were two solid lines of people, who had come from every por tion of tho state to welcome the Presi dent. Flags were waved, hats dotted and enthusiastic cheers were given. On arriv ing at the City Hall the Presidential party was escorted to an Immense elevated plat form In front of the building. When the President appeared to make his speech he was greeted by a great demonstration, in which 17,000 voices joined. Tho President's departure brought another outburst from the "crowd, so that the strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner" were scarcely audi ble for some moments. The Snll to Xcvrport. NEWPORT, R. I..

Ono chapter of tho manhunt In this section of two states came to an end lato this after noon, when Jack Ryan and Georgo Mc Donald, the criminals who held up and beat a Swede laborer nearly to death at Touchet Station, a week ago, and wero chased through two counties by blood hounds until captured near Athena, Or., wero arraigned In tho Superior Court on the charge of highway robbery, pleaded guilty and wero sentenced to live years each in tho Washington Stato Penlten tlary. Judge Chadwlck, who came down from Colfax to hold court, passed .sentence, and tonight both men arc behind the bars of the Stato Penitentiary. Neither changed color when the term of Imprisonment was announced. The penalty dealt out by tho court was one-half the maximum. Yesterday both men were taken Into tho Justice Court and confronted by the man whom they had robbed. As was expected, McDonald admitted his guilt and signi fied hlg willingness to go before tho Su perior Court and enter a plea of guilty. Ryan, the sullen one, glowered nt tho Judgo all the time tho evidence was be ing taken, and when tho case was all in. made tho sensational announcement that he "guessed it was up to him and ho would pass."
