For Vice-President THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Of Sew York. A SERIOUS PROBLEM. The most serious of all the many problems which confront ua in the Philippines, the question which la, more than all others, most pregnant with menace to American relations wUh the island people, is undoubted ly the religious question, says A. O. Robinson, writing- In the Independent. The islanders are not to be classed as heathens, ignorant and untaught sav ages who "bow down to wood and stone." They are no more heathen than are the people of the West Indies. In Porto Rico and in Cuba the religious problem was a comparatively simple one, so far as its complications with political affairs are concerned. The relation In those countries between the church and the state was intimate. But the relations of the church to the people presented no such features as thoe which exist In the Philippines, In the West Indies the spiritual guid ance of the people was in the hands of the Roman Catholic church, dis tinctly as a church organisation. In the Philippines that guidance Is in the bands of the monastic orders, the Franciscans, the Dominicans, the Au gustins and, in a more limited area, the Jesuits. In this connection one point' Is clear ly noticeable. The West Indian's re ligion meant little to him: the Fili pino's means a great deal. In both Pcrto FJco and Cuba I found a pro nounced Indifference to church matters among the people. That is not the cape in the Philip pines. Their religion, that of Roman Catholicism, means much to the Filipino people. Men as well as-women 'are faithful in their attendance tyjon church worship, not only on Sunday, but as well upon the prescribed holy days. Stand for an hour by a church door in Manila at any time of day dur ing; the week. The majority of men who pass -vv ill be seen to lift their hats as they pass the portal. Go into any church during the earlier hours of Sunday. It will be found well filled, often uncomfortably so, with worship ers. To the unprejudiced observer It would seem that the vital question was one of providing a people with religious teachers whom they will respect and trust. Material questions might be de cided later. The buildings erected by Roman Catholics might well be con sidered as property of the Roman Cath olic churcii. How property held by monastic orders belonging to that church is to be or could be transferred to the ownership of the mother church Is a matter for determination by ec clesiastical councils, if there be no es tablished rule of procedure and no ade quate precedent. It is hardly to be held that the United States govern ment should Interfere and order any definite form of settlement. Law courts may determine questions of titles If claims be set up for any of the property now held or claimed by the brotherhoods. But, good title be ing shown, the United States can on ly uphold those titles regardless of those in whose hands the titles may lie. Much of it, therefore, becomes a matter for purely ecclestlastlcal deter mination. The more Important question Is the ministration of those churches, and that is the iiiout vital point to the people of the Philippines. It la a man ifest wrong to foist upon them an un acceptable priesthood. A priesthood It wanted. Is needed. . The clearest and wisest course would seem to be the immediate establishment of men and a system which would be acceptable and satisfactory to the people. Apolo gists for the existing order of things Insist that the present institution Is eflUlent and reasonably free from faults, That avoids the main Issue, which lies In the fact that the people are not satisfied, and have again and again risen in protest and revolt It seems most unwise and Impolitic to Insist upon the retention of an objectionable sys tern. It might well be that under such a system the United States would be forced to interfere. If revolts were to come In the future, as they have In the past, the matter would concern the peace and order of the Islands, the life and property of citixens, soma cf whom would have no concern in the affair. While the pathway to a solution of the prcblem would doubtless prove thorny and devious, the solution itself mould appear to be reasonably simple. The determination of property owner ship must rest with competent courts, or with commissions duly authorised to pronounce final Judgment An ac ceptable priesthood and system should be provided for the people. The basis must, of course, be the same as that in the United States, religious free dom and the maintenance by each or ganization of its own Institutions. These facts should be recognised by Pope Leo, and his influence and power thrown upon the side of the people, even If there be some cost of property to particular monastic orders. Churches, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant exist for the salvation of souls and the maintenance or enrichment of not for the maintenance or enrich ment cf priestly orders. THE HAT-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY. Chicago Times-Herald. Senator William E. Mason of Illinois has desisted from his labors In manu facturing sympathy for the Boers long enough to turn bis batteries in the direction cf the HayPauncefote trea ty and to drop a few shells in the vi cinity of the gentlemen who were re spcnsible for negotiating that agree ment " :f In the current number of The Inde pendent Senator Mason vigorously assails the idea,' that we should take millions of dollars from the pockets of our people to build an interocean can al, which, under the rule of military necessity, will be controlled by tbe nation or allied nations that control the greatest naval power. Under the Hay-Fauncefote tr;aty, without the Davis amendment says the Illinois Senator, "we Invite the nations of the. world to guarantee that we shall not possess the legal power to close It atainst our enemies in times of war, and that we will not even prepare our selves to physically assist our navy in defending It, even from the assaults of opn enemies who may violate the terms of the treaty." It is incompre hensible to Senator. Mason, as It is to every Intelligent American, how we can afford to guarantee our enemy's war vessels from access through our own property to assist them In destroy ing the lives and property of our citi zens. The senator answers the objections that have been made to a fortified can al separately and completely, and shows that none of them Is defensible from the standpoint cf national pru dence or safety. England leaves none of her interests unprotected. She has fortified to the north and to the couth of us. She will not Invest a dollar In the isthmian canal enterprise. To de tain the fleet of an enemy approach ing the Pacific ocean, for even one or two days by the use of mines or tor pedoes, might be worth many times the cost of the fortifications in fact. It might be worth more than could be es timated In money. Senator Mason, In common with most American lawyers who have studied the question, believes tht we do not need to pay such a price for the abroga tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. He believes that the treaty can be annulled and honorably disposed of by act of congress. The treaty was made fifty years ago this month. It has been abandoned practically for years. More over, the canal contemplate! under that treaty Is not the cana! contemplate! under the treaty now pending. Our po sitions relatively and actually have changed during the half century. In making this plea for an Ameri can fortified canal, built, owned and controlled by America, Senator Mason is giving an illuytratlon of how use try If he will devote his abilities to domestic affairs Instead of trying to get th. nation to Intermeddle in a for tlgn war.
