1t has long been a maxim that a
democratic form OF government in
order to be enduring must rest upon
the broad foundation Of popular edu-
cation. This is the chief distinction
between modern democracy and Of the
ancient republic. Neither among the
Romans nor the Greeks, nor any other
ancient nation is there evidence to
show that society had anywhere come
up 10 a state OF universal, popular
education. In the most advanced
states, learning was the privilege of
the few; illiterate ignorance the herit-
age Of the many. The narrowness Of
base upon which the Roman and
Greek Republics rested, In common
with the ancient societies generally, is
In no respect more plainly seen than In
the restriction OF culture TO a small
class. In the rise Of the modern sys-
TEN OF popular education civilization
has taken a new departure; and the
policy OF mUdern nations, seeking
through elementary culture to renJef
every individual Of the State a center
Of mental aud moral fnrce has added
very greatly 10 the breadth and
strength u the sOcial foundation.
The work u the educational de

islands from our standpoint. our ad-
ministration must be successful from
the standpoint Of the Filipino. Spain
was the only firt-class power Of Eu-
rope which rejected the doctrine laid
down by Adam Smith in his wealth
OF Nations that wealth does not
consist in gold alone; that a nation
may give up its gold and yet become
more prosperous every day. Spain
boarded gold for generations after the
doctrine OF Stree trade'i had become a
fundamental tenet in the commercial
codes Of Europe, and this failure to
grasp the principle that trade, in order
to be advantageous, must enrich both
parties, contributed largely to the
downfall Of her Empire. England was
about TO make this blunder, but the
lesson OF 1776 brought her to a realiza-
tion OF the fact that colonies could
not be maintained for the purpose OF
supporting the parent government
alone, and brought about a complete
change in her colonial policy. She
now rules her English-speaking colo.
MES with a loose rein In order TO rule
them at all, and conducts her trade III
such u way that the colonies become
richer as their trade with the mother
country increases.
The embargo placed upon the grant
ing Of franchises and upon the mate
rial development OF these islands b.
the SpOoner Bill must be raised with
out fail, and II the mission OF Cover
nor Taft to Washington yields thi
result alone, IL will more than com
pensate for our loss OF his presence am
his services in these islands, duriD
the period Of his absence.
We come now to religion.
l realize that this IS dangerou
ground, indeed, volcanic, but If "
speak with candor and frankness an
utmost sincerity we need not fear I'll
result. The religion Of these island
is Christianity and this is our religion
There can be no dispute on this poin
There is no opposition TO CathollcisI
in itself, and the problem which no
c%onfronts our government is not u
uprooting Of the Catholic Church
these islands, but a change Of admit
iStration Of this church. 1t is recoI
nized at once that the Cathol
; Church itself may become and shou|
be a great ally Of the government
these islands, but it cannot becOn
such as long as the administration
: the church remains in the bands

PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
Samuel Spencer Denies That Southern
is Interested in L. g. N. Deal.

10y Associated sRfetS)
ATLANTA. GA. April 16.-Fresident
Samuel Spencer, of the Southern I:all-
way. sent the following telegram to-day
to S. NJ. Imam. one OF the directors OF
the Southern and a member OF the Exec
utive Board:
The Louisville and Nashville situation
is simply this. Mr.. Gates and his assoc
ciates. apparently without any consulta-
ton with any railroad interest In the
South or elsewhere. and entirely on thei-
own account, bought in the open market
large blocks of Louisville and Nashville
stock. and claimed now to be d clear
majority.
by reason of large short interest.
growing partially out of the sale by the
Louisville and Nashville Company of
Eo.ooG shares, an authorized additional
issue of treasury stock. which was not
listed. and not. therefore. a good delivery
on the EAcange. serious corner was
imminent. j. P. Morgan & Company
were appealed to to use their influences
to pervent such disastrous condition
After two days negotiations this has re-
suited in an agreement. by which the
Gates stock will be deposited with and
placed under the control OF J. F. Morgan
& Company. as bankers and not as rep
IesentlnE any railway interest. and with
no purpose except to conserve in the best
possible way the general financial and
business situation and avoid the se-iols
complications which have threatened.
The Southern Railway Company has
had and has no interest. directly or indi-
rectly, present or prospective. in the pur-
chase OF the stock. or in its deposit as
above with j. P. Morgan s Company.
There is no contest for the control Of the
louisville and Nashville by any other
railway company. and not likely to be-
certainly not by the Southern

HAITIMORE ND, Aprit let was
:Iearned to-day from a sen1i-omcial source
that the Seaboard Air Line Railway fig
,,yes IN the general understanding reached
IA New York in connection with the Louis
.i1Ie and Nashville sale. This. It is stated.
assures the continuance of the friendly
relations existing between the Seaboard
and the Louisville and Nashville.
It Is understood that conferences have
been held between the Morgan interests
ana representatives of the Seaboard.
President John Shelton Williams. of the
latter. and President Samuel Spencer. OF
the Southern Railway. were present at
these conferences. It has been expected
that some understanding would be reached
with the Sea board with the idea OF secur-
ipk its cooperation with a community OF
interest plan.
The talked of extension of the Seabeard
TO Birmingham and possible extensions to
8 other points in the Louisville and Nash
Vile territory would, il carried out. great
~ disturb the harmony now existing TO
avoid this some permanent understanding
is expected to be the outcome.
Dealings in the stocks Of the Seahoard
Air Line Railway again furnished ths
bulk Of the trading at the Baltimore Stock
Exchange to-day.
There is a disposition In local circles
close to the Sea beard to think that the
Gates party contemplated making a bid
for the Sea board. and that the Morgan
plan to secure a general understanding
interviewed and stopped this move.
