JUSTICE BREWER
TO COLLEGE MEN
The Eminent Jurist Talks About
Threatening Evils Of the
Time.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. lin the
course of his address to the students of
Yale University Justice David J. Brewer
ferring to the prohibition laws of Kan
isas, said:
IF every man (and woman) In kansas
Il had done his best since 1850 to enforce
the prohibition legislation of that State,
George Washington would not have been
asked to divide his Ratchet reputation
with Mrs. Nation.
| ..The problem Of government by the
lpeople depends upon the way service at
the primaries 8 performed To the man
who has a solemn sense of what govern
ment by the people means, the primary
and the polls are sacred places. The
| college graduate can make no excuse.
He is the last man in the world who can
lplead ignorance Of his duty in citizen
ship. He leaves college an ambassador
from the court of learning.
! unfortunately, no one can doubt that
money is becoming a factor, harmful
factor, in our politics. There is g. temp
ltation for an off1ce-holder to go out OF
office at least no worse than when he
came in. This is an evil and 1T is more
of an evil than it was In days gone by.
i appeal to the value Of high conscien-
itiousness to cure this. Let everyone
see to it that by keeping himself aloof
from its communicating touch he Is
doing all in his power to remedy these
conditions
In conclusion the eminent jurist made
this prophecy:
"If the people of the United States ever
believe or ever come to believe that COM
Imercialism controls politics they will
rise and will rid themselves by forcing
aside all those who they believe are re-
sponsible for these conditions"

CHURCH TROUBLES
IN PHILIPPINES

BINGH AMPTON, N. Y, Feb, TO-
Speaking at the Board of Trade ban
ouet in this city on the subject of the
religious troubles in the Philippines
President Schurman of Cornell Univer-
sity said:
I'm the meaning of the term there is
no religious trouble in the Philippines.
The Catholic church hitherto has been
a part of the State am was supported
by State revenues, and 1t now Is on the
same footing as the other churches and
must be supported by voluntary contri-
buttons. The great majority of the peo-
pie outside the hea.hens, who number
| few hundred thousands, and the MO
| hametans, who number a few hundred
thousand more are Catholics. The
church presents no question, but the re-
ligious orders do present question, pc
cause they are landlords.
1.-The situation is much the same as IN
| Ireland. The land is held by those who
gained it by right of the sword. The re-
/ ligious orders of the Philippines nave
come into possession OF these landS anu
| it is for US to enquire their rights ana
title to them, whether the Filipinos are
not doing the orders q great injustice,
and whether or not they are forgetting
the great benefits OF civilization which
the orders gave to, them. But the situa-
ton is, the Filipinos don't like the re-
lligious orders as landlords
/ I'VE can't take the land from the or
ders. and we would not If we could. We
recommend that the land be purchased
and sold to the people in small holdings.
Just as in Ireland today" he contin-
ued, ''T. E. Russell, in putting himself
at the head of a new order OF things.
has left the Old ideas about the holding
of property and is making himself
lnew champion, so thousands Of Filipinos
are imbued with the same idea and
wish to get away from the landlord sys-
tenn. There is no need for any religious
controversy in the question. 1t is a
Iuuestion of landlord and tenant.
