NO PROSECUTING
IN THE PHILIPPINES

tartan instruction which exists in the
United States. and which has proved to
he for the interest of religion and all
religions. The Government means, so
far as ii possibly can. to give education
to the people of the islands. and it will
do this without any discrimination for
or against any church or sect. 1t does
not mean that any officer or teacher oil
the public school system shall use his
position to build up or pull down any
cha,rch whatever, whether Catholic or
Protestant The laws already enacted
in the Philippine Islands contain the
following provision:
The Law on the Question.
No teacher or other person shall
teach or criticise the doctrines of any
church. religious sect or denominr tion.
or shall attempt to influence the pupils
for or against any church or religious
sect in any public school established
under this act. II any teacher shall in
tenz ionally violate this section, he or
she shall, after due hearing. be dis
missed from the public service
Conformity TO this provision, in the
spirit as well as in the letter, will be
strictly required. | think the govern
ment OF the Philippines is entitled to
ask that citizens of the United States
shall not assume, or believe upon mere
rumor and improved statements. that
the Government is not in good faith en-
forcing this iaw which it has made.

CLERKS DISGRONTLED
over NEW ORDER
Closing of White House
Grounds the Bugbsar.
Said to Have Made Many of Them Late
Yesterday in Going to State, War,
and Navy Building.

Department officials and clerks who
are accustomed to reach the State, War
and Navy buildings by a short cut
through the White House grounds. and
who by long experience have been able
| to calculate to the minute the time
necessary by this route to reach theii
desks, were in anything but compia-
cent mood yesterday morning when they
| found the gates of the White House
grounds closed to them. Expostulations
were of no avail. and the clerks, one
after another, had to trudge the extra
steps along Pennsylvania Avenue. a
distance just sufficient to make them
late at their offices.
Closed to Visitors.
The closing OF the entire White House
property to visitors, on the order OF the
Superintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds, has occasioned great deal of
comment Colonel Bingham says that the
exclusion of the public is a necessity, to
prevent the workmen from being ham
pered in the carrying out of their sew
eral tasks. The magnitude of the work
is cited as being responsible for the is
suance of the order.
That there are other views of the
matter was evidenced by strong opinions
expressed by numerous visitors to the
White House grounds. AS usual. they
came from all parts of the country. and
made their protests In very emphatic
fashion when stopped at the front gates
by sturdy policeman.
Quietly Turned Away.
Visitors to Washington naturally rep
resent all parts o: the United States,
and each one is OF the energetic sort
desirous of seeing everything that is to
lie seen. in order to carry back to "the
folks at home" detailed descriptions OF
everything in the Capital City of the
Nation.
After seeing the Capitol all paths lead
to the White House, and great expecta-
tions OF seeing it are entertained. Wash |
perhaps, can hardly appreci-
ate what a disappointment it is to
travellers from a distance of hundreds |
and even a thousand miles to be turned |
away and not even allowed to put foot |
inside the enclosure.
Instances of disappointed tourists |
were numerous yesterday. The police |
men had to be obdurate and all were |
refused admission.
Though the order meets with such 1
great opposition from visitors, 1t is not /
likely that it will be soon revoked. since |
he tourists come and go, and their |
protests are therefore only temporary

agree to the gradual substitution of
other clergy in the places of the friars.
The question is delicate but its main
point Is the welfare of the friars them
selves.
Repudiated by Followers.
Governor Taft, in his testimony before
the Philippines Committee of the Senate
and the Insular Committee OF the House.
made it clear that the friars have been
repudiated by their own religious follow
ers. and that II is dangerous for them TO
attempt TO return to their parishes.
They were the policemen of SPAIN"
he said. They exercised absolute pow
er in every municipality within their re-
spective parishes, and they were made
responsible by the people for every act
of oppression. individual or general.
which might be charged TO the Spanish
government
Not Opposed to Church.
The governor explained that the oppo-
sition to the friars was not opposition
to the Roman Catholic Church or its re-
ligion, for the people were all Catholics
and devoted to the church Their oppo-
sition to the friars was due to the power
exercised Dy the friarS.
The simple question is, what shall be
done with the priests? They represent the
Roman Catholic Church and are subject
to the orders of the Vatican. The treaty
of Paris guarantees the right to Spanish
subjects to remain and practice their
business or professions. 1t does not,
however, promise the assistance of the
United States Government TO those who
wish to practice their professions OF
religious teachers against the will of the
people
Friars Might Be Killed.
If the friars attempt to go back 10
their parishes they will be murdered.
That is the belief of Governor Taft.
Their usefulness to the church is ended
in the Philippines. They are only an
embarrassment to the church. The Uni-
ted States Government is ready to pur-
chase the property belonging to the re-
ligious orders so that the priests may
be withdrawn without loss to the church.
The law passed by Congress authorizes
the Philippine Commission to obtain
those lands by purchase or by the exer-
else of the right of eminent domain. 1t
can dispose of the friars by refusing mil
itary protection to them If they try to |
return to their old parishes. 1t will I
then be left for the Pope TO find way 1
to dispose of the friaTs, either by with |
drawal or supporting them in the Philip |
pines. This Government will not do any-
thing TO embarrass the Roman Catholic |
Church in the Philippines, but it will not |
use the army to compel the FilipIno !
Catholics to accept priests whom thev
hate and would murder.
