The Philippine Religious Problem

Archbishop ChapeIle replies with some
warmth to his critics in the matter of his
mission to the Philippines. And naturally.
To be accused of failure. of having be-
trayed President Mckinley and Cardinal
Gibbons in the premises, and of having
had his commission Cancelled by the Pope
with disfayor, was well calculated to arouse
him. He not only enters an emphatic de-
nial of all the charges. but he invites his
critics to produce anything they may hold
which in their eyes may answer for proof
This is to the point, and the country will
echo the reverend gentleman's invitation
Upon what are these charges founded?
Meanwhile, the archbishop has resumed his
duties at New Orleans, where he Is highly
esteemed. and there awaits a reply to his
challenge.
The new papal delegate to the Philippines
is Bishop Sbaretti of Cuba. He was pro-
NOTED to the post In Cuba from the Official
household OF Cardinal, then Archbishop,
Martinelli in this city. The selection was
displeasing to the Cubans, who had asked
for the appointment of one OF their own
countrymen. and Bishop sbarettfs recep-
tion at Havana was anything but cordial.
1t looked for time, indeed. as If there
might be serious trouble in the Roman
Catholic communion in the island. Grad

Mr.. watter.on Sees Victory.

Henry Watterson has returned home from
his Boston visit greatly encouraged over the
political outlook, and confident of good
times ahead for his party. He bases his
hopes on Mr.. Roosevelt, who. as he be-
leves is headed for smash, and Will ar
rive in due season. Item: Mr.. Roosevelt is
building I'D a machine to secure his re-
nomination, and in doing that Is inviting,
and will in time provoke, the active oppo-
sition of all the powerful republican BOSSES
Item: They" are beginning to compare the
President with the Emperor OF Germany,
and both are appraised by everyday folk
as bumptious youngsters who need to be
taken down peg or two. Item: In censur-
ing General Miles for elbowing into the
naval controversy, the President was guilty
of signal improperly. The Lieutenant
General Of the army is old enough to be the
Presidents father. And so on.
Mr. Watterson is easily encouraged. Ma.
chine politics can neither effect nor prevent
the denomination of Mr.. Roosevelt. That
depends entirely upon other considerations
II Mr.. Roosevelt has to fight for renomi-
nation the honor will be of small value
He will be likely to fare as General Harri-
son did in 1892. General Harrison won IN
the national convention, but was defeated
at the polls. Had Mr.. Blaine been nomi-
mated he would have been even more disas-
trously beaten. The fact that the party
was divided on the subject of appealing to
the country for Endorsement under the ex-
listing leadership was confession of weak
ness to start with
As for the likeness between the President
and the kaiser, that may be pressed too
far for good effect The opponents of the
kaiser at home conducted their campaign
against him for a long time on the allega-
ton that ne was at most but picturesque
rattlebrain. But We hear little of that now.
The kaiser is regarded today as very
strong man. He is his own foreign minis
ter, and far and away the best in Europe.
He has demonstrated a high capacity for
affairs and he is a tremendous worker.
The joke-crackers have been Obliged to
abandon many of their old texts about
him. They no longer fit. What if the
kaiser IS strenuous? He is undoubtedly
capable What if he does things with a
snap and go which did not characterize his
grandfather's methods? He does things
we'll and he succeeds. Will it be a happy
play in 1904 upon voters of German birth
or extraction to ask them to vote against
Mr.. Roosevelt on the assertion that the
kaiser is a poor creature and that the Pres
ident resembles him? .
Where did Mr.. Watterson get his line of
thought? In Boston, New York, Philadel
phia or Washington? He spent few hours
here between trains. That was hardly long
enough to gather more at this point than
the unimpressive gossip about the Booker
Washington dinner. He ought to come
again. and stay at least a day and night.
He is always welcome.

Improvement led to the reclamation of the
Potomac fats. now awaiting Improvement
as public park. They have sought at all
times and in all directions the proper de-
velopment of the city as a credit to the
nation, and have contributed freely and
even excessively to this end.
Now that the government itself is presum-
ably about to begin it's own work of capital
making on a broad scale, Washington ex-
poets to continue to contribute as in the past
to those projects which fall strictly within
the municipal scope. Certain projects win
naturally be placed upon the half-and-half
basis of appropriations, while others will
remain upon the basis Of strictly govern
mental works. Among the former is the
new municipal building, for instance, which
will be jointly constructed by the partners
in the maintenance Of the capital. This
structure should have been provided many
years ago, saving the District the chagrin
of the spectacle it presented of a capital
city officially housed in an inadequate
rented warehouse or commercial office
building. The plea Of economy has pre-
vented action from year to year. and now
the time has come when the government is
about to take up it's long-postponed work

Is the municipal building project to be

Washington will remain for another gen.
Grafton city of unfuiflled promises and

than this of the municipal building rest
upon the same plane. They are needed

vance or bond issue.

UnwhOlesome Hero Worship.

The tragic side of the matinee girls in
fatuatiOn for actors was shockingly re-
vealed by the suicide of young woman in
one of the local theaters Saturday night.
This was perhaps peculiar case, an ex-
treme instance, caused by the morbidly
sensitive condition of the victims mind.
Bat 1t none the less should serve as a
warning to parents to inquire more closely
into the relations of their children to the
stage as an entertainment. The unfortu-
nate young woman in this case had reached
years of discretion, yet she was fascinated
beyond her strength of resistance by the
glamor of the footlights How dangerous
may become the attraction to younger girls
Is to be easily imagined. This form of
hero-worship Is insidious. The stage, with
Its glitter. its costumes, it's atmosphere of
romance. appeals with singular force to
developing girls Instances are common
of the most extravagant adulation of good
looking young men and women by throngs
of young persons who have attended per-
fOrmances and endowed their favorites
with heroic attributes. forgetting that the
people behind the footlights are ordinary
human beings. who, by the nature of their
art, must present personalities to the public
different from those they reveal in private
lifa-
There is perhaps too much parental neg
lgence Of this danger Those elders who
approve of the theater as place of enter
tainment, doubtless In the great majority
In every community. owe a duty to their
children to see that they are not blinded by
the glare of the calcium into unwholesome
fondness of either the theater or it's ex-
ponents- A careful watch over the young
people is essential in this regard as in
others. The average actor receives great
number of letters from unknown young
women, designated in stage vernacular as
mash notes" If parents could but know
Of these letters hey would be astounded.
They remain in unsuspecting ignorance
however, because in too many instances
they do not closely enough inquire into the
tastes or the thoughts OF their children. A
genial parental supervision over the enter
tainment of the young would perhaps mar
row the chances of the growth of morbid
fancy. A glance at the stage entrance of
a theater Saturday afternoon, revealing
scores of girls waiting for a mere glimpse
of their idols of the buskins, might cause
many a parent to realize that there is
line of safety to be drawn between harm

not wholesome in it's effects upon the indi-
vidual or conducive to a proper apprecia-
tion of the stage and its lessons and It's en-

Mr.. Wu Closes His CAMPAIGN,

Mr.. WI Ting-fang closes his stumping
tour against the re-enactment of the Geary
law by proposing congressional investiga-
ton of the whole question of Chinese ex-
clusion. In this latest move he is within his
rights-he addresses his communication
properly to the State Department-and his
request has been referred to Chairman Hit
of the House committee on foreign affairs
But is the matter worth while? Are not
both Congress and the country already suf-
hciently informed on the subject?
Mr. WI says the law works hardships to
both China and America. He is entitled to
speak only for his own country America
VIII continue to bear patiently any hard
ships the law may impose upon her. In fact
she rather likes that sort of thing. Mr.
Wu's solicitude for us on that score is
wasted. Our ignorance is bliss, and we
object to being made wise. AS Mr. Lincoln
said about General Grants liquor, If we
can only find out where we may secure in
other things hardships of the same kind, we
shall shortly be the most signal1y favored
people on the earth. We shall have every
thing we need, and to spare.
AS for China's hardships growing out of
the law, it may be frankly stated that they
are in the nature of things. We Iegislate
III our own interests. We prefer to iniure
nobody. But whenever Americas interests
and some other powers interests clash. we
give our own the preference. Why not :?
What other power fails In similar circurn-
stances to do the, same thing? The pur-
pose of the Geary law was to exclude the
Chinese from the United States, and to the
extent that this object is accomplished the
law is a success. The criticism of the law
sometimes offered by Americans is that it
is hardly tight enough. Here and there
Chinese slip through in spite of it, Those
who take this view insist that If any change
is to be made in the law such chinks as
have been revealed be closed completely.
American sentiment on this subject is
made up. 1t has not and can never hone
To have, the approval OF the doetrinaires
and transcendenta1ists 1t represents the
homely, practical, everyday conception of
things, which at last, in all things, rules

interest that attaches to them We also
know ourselves, and We do not want them
IN numbers In this country. 1t is no argu-
ment to say that we do not exclude the
English, the Germans, the French. the Rus
sians the Irish. and others. We are deal
ing with the Chinese, and we take them as
We find them. We are not responsible for
them. They are not of our kind, and as this
Is our country We prefer not to have them

the appointment subsidized; and the public
at distance had lost sight of Bishop
Sbaretti until his appointment to duty In
the Philippines to succeed Archbishop Cha
pelle called him to mind again.
The popular Interpretation put upon this
latest promotion of Bishop Sbaretti is that
1t grows out of his success in Cuba He
found discord and opposition there, and in
some way he brought about quiet. Still it
must not be forgotten that the situation as
regards church matters in Cuba and that
prevailing in the Philippines are radically
different. There is some contention about
church property in Cuba, but no friar ques-
ton. The Cubans at most desire a wider
recognition Of native priests. They ask to
be allowed to officer their own spiritual
households. me whole matter must in the
end be settled between Cuba and Rome.
But in the Philippines there is the friar
questioh-which relates as well to the OBJ
jectionable personal character Of many of
the friars as to the great landed estates
claimed by the religious orders-and the
question of organizing the Roman Catholic
Church on a basis entirely separate from
the state The Philippines are American
territory, and under the American flag the
churches exercise no civil functions. But
the civil authorities In the Philippines could
not, with safety to the common veal, per-
NIT the friars to become a menace to the
peace of the islands. The people object to
their return to their stations, and their pro-
test is entitled to consideration.
If Bishop Sbaretti succeeds in his new
post the American people will be greatly
pleased. But his work in Cuba, gratifying
as 1t may be, is no guarantee of that. He
Is entering upon a new, and, from the
church standpoint, a greatly more difficult

The demand for the improvement of the
national capital has become national in its

outlook is that Congress viii soon be able

ital improvement. with a better under
standing of both the needs of the District
and the wishes of the people than has been
possible heretofore.
In view OF this prospect consideration
must be paid to the share of this work
which the District itself will be called upon
to perform The citizens of Washington
have always taken the initiative In capital
development 1t Is due to their efforts that
