counsel. sought to have the bail reduced
to 5000. but Magistrate Brann would not
listen to the proposition.
\ serious Accusation.
THE accusation against this man" he
said. 'is a serious one. II seems to me-
indeed. thai the district attorney would
be justified in bringing in charge Of
forgery The way OF the transgressor is
hard and justly so.
Decent men rarely get their due. I
have no sympathy with public rogues. For
the matter Of that. have none either
With private rogGes, but 1 have less with
men who prey upon the public funds"
The suggestion put forward by Magis-
trate Brann that Chip might be charged
with forgery was not lost upon Assistant
District Attorney schurman. He turned
at once to look up the law on the sub
ject. and viii e he was so engaged MsVis-
trate- Brann made some more remarks
which served to add to the detection that
afflicted Chipp.

open the eyes Of the Administration to the
real situation in the archipelago. There
will be many surprises if mis- complete re-
ports are published.
The Present Conditions
He will minuteIy describe the condi-
tions prevailing here, the progress of
pacilication. and tho civil establishment
and relations between the military and
civil authorities which are necessarily har-
monicus between chiefs, but frequently
conflicting with the provincial subordi-
mates, notably the Governors. the military
commanders not approaching the import
anee o. maintaining friendly relations
with them.
1t is useless to deny that the Philippine
Commission and General Chaifee differ as
TO the extent of pacifcation and the ne
cessity for maintaining the various gar
risons. Both realize their mutual de-
pendence. but the civil authorities feel
that the presence of soldiers in many To-
caiities is detrimental to peace and harm
iui to the soldiers and natives.
Would Concentrate Troops.
Prior to his departure, Governor Taft
said.
The sooner the soldiers are withdrawn
from the larger towns of the provinces
where civil government has been estab-
lished and concentrated in a few large
garrisons, where they would not be al
lowed TO mix with the natives, the sooner
general tranquility will be established.
The rapid recruiting of the constabuIary
ensures the public safety which was first
guaranteed by the army, and when the
constabulary reaches its full strength
within year l believe that the army
can be reduced to 200 men
Civil Government strong.
'The civil government was never so
well organized as at present. and was
never so hopeful. The attitude OF the
Filipino generally is one of loyalty
Progress has been made in nearly every
province. The recent municipal elections
promise success for the provincial eIec-
tions in February.
Immediate Congressional action is
necessary in relation to the currency. the
coastwise shipping laws. and the tariff. A
permanent government will be established
within definite period which will not be
delayed by the Samar. the Batangas, and
Laguna disturbances"
