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.

a full county ticket in the field, with the
exception of a candidate for Superior
Judge. For that position it followed the
precedent established two years ago, and
indorsed Judge Netterer, the present Dem

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

""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. Tho sufficient
warrant Yor it is to be found over and

resulting from the present system, or
rather lack of system.
Supervision of Trusts.
"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."
PROVIDENCE'S WELCOME,
Thoroughly General Reception Ten
dered the President.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 23. Not since
tho visit here of President Hayes, 20 years
ago, has a Chief Executive been accorded
a more thoroughly general reception than
that tendered hero to President Roosevelt
The Presidential train arrived at 11:40, and,
after the firing of the Presidential saluto
and a formal welcome, the party, which
was joined by Senator Aldrlch and others,
proceeded to tho Statohouse.
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.
