OPINIONS
On Disposition
OF Philippines.
LOCAL PASTORS
Entertain a Variety Of Ideas
On the Subject.

The conclusion of a war generally
leaves greater problems ON the hands
of the diplomats and the statesmen of
a country than the actual conduct of
the war has brought to the considera-
ton of the military authorities.
Never has this been more apparent
than at the present time. The war has
placed in our control large territories,
of which we may shape the destinies
as we see fit. The majority of the peo-
pie are agreed that the policy of the
government in regard to Cuba and
Porto Rico has been the correct one,
but in regard to the Philippine Islands
there is still much debate.
Opinions on the subject of the Philip
pines is almost as varied as 1t well can
be. Always interesting in what in
terests the people and has to do with
the welfare of the country The Spy
has obtained number of signed state
ments from we'll known local clergy
men in answer to the now popular
question, What shall we do with the
Philippines? ?" Various opinions are
expressed, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing:

nous Players Must be Signed.

An important meeting of the Central
Massachusetts Basket Ball Association

in this part of the state loitered around
the corridors of the hotel, awaiting the
action OF the board with interest.
a very ROT fight took place over the
application of the Millbury c. Y. M. L.
tor membership in the association. The
election to membership was objected to
by the Millbury basket ball team. At
ter nearly two hours debate, in which
nearly every delegate spoke, it was de-
clded to accept them to membership,
and their delegate, John f. Cronin,
was elected member of the board of
governors. This action on the part Of
the association viii probably cause the
Withdrawal Of the Millbury basket ball
team.
The meeting was called to order at

UNITY, NOT NUMBERS.
If Moral People Worked Together Wor-
oester Would Be Setter.

Rev. DR.. Willard Scott delivered
strong sermon yesterday morning at
Piedmont Church upon the RESPONSE
bilities of the moral people of the city,
taking his text from Hephaniah, 1;xii.
In opening, he outlined the relation
of Zephaniah to Jerusalem, and toll
how he fastened his eye on the portion
OF the city Where the people worked.
AS they became prosperous. they moved
away from the centre of the city into
the suburbs, where they enjoyed them
serves, and the very richest went still
farther away to erect princely man
slons, Zephaniah showed how the min
listers We're playing at religion, some
Worshiping heather gods, some Jeho
van IN ceremonial way, and others
who were stagnant
Dr. Scott applied the illustration to
worcester. The crush in the centre
OF the city, the comfort in the suburbs,
ana the luxury farther out-all showing
d tendency to avoid unity.

COMPTROLLER DAWES REPORT

Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the
currency, states in bis annual report
that. although the number of banks
in operation September 20 last, was
less than at any date of report since
December 10, 1890, the amount of in
dividual deposits, loans and discounts,
and total resources was greater than
at any time since the establishment of
the national banking system. The
comptroller discusses the claim that
there is a moral right to prefer a note
holder over a deposit-holder in the dis
tribution of the assets of an insolvent
bank, and he emphatically denies that
any such right exists.
An important recommendation by
Mr.. Dawes is that the national banking
law be amended so that the co4nptrol-
Ter shall have power to enforce a per-
sonal penalty for infracticns of the law
prohibiting excessive loans. The comp
troller is practically powerIess i'll this
matter at present, and the proposed
change would give a much needed Gle
ment Of safety. Mr.. Dawes very mod
estly refers to his ruling, really most
helpful one, forbidding the practice
which he found in some large cities.

hended as yet am holding Judgment
in allegiance while / look for light.
Undoubtedly President McKinley's
policy up to the present time has the
approval Of an immense majority of our
clearest thinkers and most statesman
like and patriotic citizens. One thing
is clear as the monday, namely, that
the United States would have proven
traiterous to every sacred trust and
would have violated every considera-
ton humanitarian and phiIanthropic,
had she .rSssEg-!itted the flag of Spain to
float again over those islands which
have been blasted for centuries by her
policy of repression and persecution.
1t is easy TO call these poor island
people hard names, to sheer at them
and despise them. We should have
something better to do. 1t is ineXe-
cradle taste for Christian minister to
do that.
AS to governmental policy let us wait
with patience the letting in of light
Wise counsels will prevail. Our ma
ton will meet each successive duty, in
a sane, calm and effective way.

PRICE or TIE PHILIPPINES.

Those who object to the acquisition
of the Philippines on any terms what
ever, and those who have constitu-
tional objections to the purchase of
sovereignty" may criticise the propo-
sition to pay Spain $40. 100000 for the
islands, but the straight-out annexa-
tionists have no valid ground for com
plant. Yet the annexationists are
the ones who are making the greatest
touse over the bargain.
Under the terms of the protocol,
Spain had a right to expect quid pro
quo if the islands We're to be taken
from her. When the president made
his demands upon Spain, he might
have insisted upon the transfer of the
Philippines with as good grace as he
did upon the cession of Guam and
Porto Rico, in lieu of war indemnity,
| if he had seen fit SO to do. But he
seems to have been undecided then as
to what should be done with the archi-
pelago, and the disposition of it was
specifically reserved for arbitration.
When men sit down to arbitrate, they
expect and are expected to give some
consideration or compensation for
whatever they may receive. In arbi-
tration, might does not make right. If
we We're to take the Philippines by
right of conquest, we should have done
50 when we signed the protocol. Hence
| there is good diplomatic authority for
saying that, had our commissioners in
Paris demanded the Philippines with
out compensation of any kind, Spain
would have been justified by interna-
tional opinion, if she had rejected our
terms and renewed the war. Such an
opinion, of course, is wholly apart from
Spains inability to continue the CON
test; it relates solel.- to the moral as
pect of the case, for force, as has been
said, is eliminated from all considera-
ton in arbitration.
Whether 10000, 600 is a fair price to
pay for the Philippines or not, is quite
another question. Spain says it is not,
and even those annexationists who de-
nounce the terms, must confess that
the islands are intrinscally worth
much more than the agreed sum to any
customer that has use for that vast
Pacific domain Before the war, the
price current of Cuba was quoted at
$l0O, 100000, and the Philippines have
not been reckoned as much less valu-
able than the Pearl of the Antilles. On
the other hand, there is and can be no
market price Of states, commonwealth,
colonies and islands, and they are not
bartered on any such basis.
Fifteen million dollars cash, and the
assumption Of $3.OO0,OOO of indebted
ness was a ludicrous price to pay for
the territory which the United States
took from Mexico, ana the 1920, O00
which we paid Russia for Alaska now
seems small. Yet the figures were in
both instances satisfactory, and in the
case Of the Mexican purchase, were
I regarded as even generous. But by
whatever process of calculation 800
600 900 was fixed as the consideration to
be paid for the eession of the Philip
pines it does not appear that the an
nexationists have any reasonable cause
to complain of the bargain, for a price
had to be paid, and the figures agreed to
are by common consent less than the
islands are worth TO a customer who
wants them,
