A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The most serious of all the many
problems which confront US in the
Philippines. the question which is,
more than all others. most pregnant
with menace TO American relations
with the island people. is undOubted-
" the religious question. says A. g.
Robinson. writing in the Independent.
The islanders are not to be classed as
heathens. ignorant and untaught saw
ages who bow down to wood and
stone, They are no more heather than
are the people OF the West Indies. In
Porto Rico and in Cuba the religious
problem was comparatively simple
one. 50 far as its complications with
political affairs are concerned. The
relation liz those countries between the
church and the state was intimate.
But the relations Of the church to the
people presented no such features as
those which exist in the Philippines.
In the West Indies the spiritual guld-
ance Of the people was in the hands
Of the Roman Catholic church. dis
tinctly as a church organization. In
the Philippines that guidance is in
the hands Of the monastic orders. the
Franciscans. the Dominieans. the Au-
gustins and. in more limited area.
the Jesuits.
In this connection one point is clear
ly noticeable. The West Indians re-
ligior meant little to him; the Fill
pino's means a great deal. In both
Porto Rico and Cuba found pro-
nounced indifference to church matters
among the people.
That is not the case 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 upon
church worship. not only on Sunday,
but as wen 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 win be seen to lift their hats
as they pass the portal. Go into any
church during the earlier hours Of
Sunday. 1t will be found well filed,
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 church. How property held by
monastic orders belonging to that
church is to be or could be transferred
10 the ownership of the mother church
Is a matter for determination by &C.
clesiastical councils. If there be no es-
tablished rule of procedure and no ade-
quate precedent. 1t 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
Iy uphold those titles regardless Of
those in whose hands the titles may
lie. Much Of it. therefore. becomes a
matter for purely ecclesiastical deter
mination.
The more important question is the
ninistration of those churches. and
that is tine most vital point to the
people Of the Philippines. It is man

THE HAY-PAuNcEForE TREATY.

Chicago Tines Herald.
Senator William E. Mason Of Illinois
has deslsted from his labors in manu-
featuring sympathy for the Beers long
enough TO turn his batteries in the
direction Of the Hay -PauncefOte trea-
ty and to drop a few shells in the vi
cinity Of the gentlemen who were re-
spcnslble for negotiating that agree
ment.
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 the
nation or allied nations that control
the greatest naval power Under the
-Pauncefote treaty. 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 1t
against our enemies in times Of war,
and that we viii not even prepare our
selves to physically assist our navy in
defending il. even from the assaults Of
open enemies who may violate the
terms of TIE treaty" 1t is incompre-
hensible to Senator Mason. as 1t 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 Of rational pru-
dence Or safety. England leaves none
Of her interests unprotected. She has
fortified to the north and to the south
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 fortihcations-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 price for the abroga-
ton 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. 1t has been
abandoned practically for years More
ot.a. ~. oo,,aI oo,,to,~,.to4ad -,rd<,. ft,o A
treaty is not the cana! contemplated
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 illustration Of how use
try If he win devote his abilities to
