American Training for Filipino Priests

The following comes by cable from Ma
Mia:
Father NcKinnon who first came TO the
Philippines as chaplain of the 1st Califor-
MIA Regiment. and who is now pastor Oh
the Catholic Church in Ermita, Manila
suggests when the Philippine hierarchy Is
rsorganized that 100 of the younger native
priests be sent to the United States for a
gears training in Catholic semlnarles.
Father MCKinnOn believes such training
would impart to them the spirit of Amerl-
can priesthood and a beneficial knowledge
of Americans and their language. He pro-
poses to ask American bishops to assist
this project financially.
This suggestion seems to possess merit
and to deserve success. II is directly In
line with the generally accepted PROPOSE
ton that the Americanization Of the archt-
pelago should advance as rapidly as pos
sible along the whole line of sndeavor
With the church and the state separated,
and the states affairs in the hands of men
trained In America. or of men copying
American models, the affairs of the domi-
fant church In the islands Will best pros
per In the hands of those familiar with
thorough religious freedom.
The Spanish friars are as good as elimi-
mated from the equation. The majority Of
them have already left the archipelago. and
those remaining Will follow. This Is the
understa nding at Rome and at Manila. The
field therefore will a no distant day be in
the hands of American-bred and native
priests: and to be successfully titled 1t
will have 10 be titled as nearly as possible
after the American methods. The priest
who has had charge in this country will
soon organize his work, while the very
best service to be expected from the native
priest will come as the result either Of a
visit and a course of study here, or of as
close a study as he is able TO make at
home of his church's government and prog
ress in America.
The question of expense is one of impor-
tance. but Father McKinnon will appeal to
rich church and one which spares neither
pains nor expense sn the prosecution of its
work Its schools in the United States for
the education of its clergy are numerous
and well equipped and a years study at
any OF them by young F'ilipinos in prepara-
tion for a sacred calling at home would be
of the greatest value to them and to their
people. Presumably therefore, Father McIlin-
non will not appeal in vain; and his sug-
gestion once adopted ought to lead to far
reaching results.
Governor Taft arrives at Manila this
week. and very shortly now will be re-
sumed the negotiations which. 1t Is to be
hoped. will see US safely through some deli
cate and difficult business. The prospects
are all favorable. The governments atti-
tude Is well understood at the Vatican,
and that of the Vatican is friendly to the
governments purposes. Fresh complica-
ttons are expected by neither side.

The "Rope-Cure- in Oklahoma.

The managers Of the ''water-cure" propa-
ganda are advised to read carefully the fol-
lowing dispatch from Cordella, Oklahoma
just printed in the course of the news:
"A mob of several hundred men took
Levi Reed and Bud Wingo. outlaws, from
the county jail here late last night and
strung them up to trees and forced them to
reveal the whereabO of their leaders and
To give information regarding their crimes
The outlaws finally gave the desired in
formation and the mob returned them to
jail. Reed was so badly strangled that he
was revived with difficulty"
As yet no outcry of horror has been
heard from Boston. No protests against
the federal administration, which exercises
jurisdiction over the territory of Oklahoma,
have been filed. Is the humanity Of the
anti-imperialist solely for application to
distant lands and peoples? No one ever
attempted officially or formally to defend
the miScreants who tied Filipino prisoners
on the ground and poured water into them
to force them TO tell OF the hiding places
Of their guns. The proof that this was
done at all was vague and unsatisfactory
There was, furthermore, no proof that it
had official sanction. either here or In the
Philippines Nor Is there any popular ap-
proval Of the action of this Oklahoma mob
which resorted to drastic measures to Sc
cure information. Both practices are bar
baroUs. But neither is representative Of
the American civilization. The participants
in such disgracefuI episodes do not stand
for the average of intelligence or refine
ment which prevails here. The frontier
always contains overplus of such per-
sonalities and times of public excitement
bring them to the front. Just as the ac-
ton OF the Oklahoma mob falls far short
OF an Indictment of the whole nation SO
the misIeeds of a few men IN the army in
the Philippines do not constitute a valid
ground for condemning the American cam
paign and administration OF Philippine af-
fairs as brutal or failure

Pennsylvania Arbitration Law

There is a law on the statute books of
Pennsylvania which, II enforced would
speedily cause the arbitration of the pres
ent strike Of the coal miners and probably
would end the deadlock. II provides that
ployer and enploye which cannot be salts
factorily settled otherwise may apply to the
court of common pleas to appoint board of
arbitration. and the court shall appoint such
a board If 1t find that the difficulty Is of
sufficient Importance to warrant the inter-
ventiou in order to preserve the public
peace or promote the interests and har-
mony OF labor and capital" Under court
orders the board may require the attend
ance of witnesses, under penalties of fine
and imprisonment, may examine experts
and may visit the scene of the difficulty.
It's decision is to be given by a majority
vote. and Is to be final when approved by
the court Although the statute does not
provide a specific means Of enforcing the
6ecision. it is to be assumed that the same
power which permits the court to compel
Ifhe attendance of witnesses will enable II
10 compel the resumption OF work on the
ferms laid down by the arbitrators.
There is no question as to the warrant
of the court to intervene in the case of the
hard coal strike IL requested by one or the
cther side to the controversy. The public
peace has been 30 seriously menaced that
,fhere are today several regiments OF state
tf6ops at the scene Of the disorders at sew
eral points in Pennsylvania, detachment

Evening star., 1902-08-19

peaceful region. Men have been killed on
both sides, and excited mobs stand ready
to riot and destroy life and property on the
least provocation. The hard coal Industry
is paralyzed. and consumers are beginning
to feel the hard pinch of the consequent
higher prices. II ever there was good
ground for Intervention to promote har-
money between capital and labor it is to be
found today in the anthracite region OF
Pennsylvania.
Why this statute has not been invoked
by the strikers 1t is difficult to understand,
save on the assumption that the RESPONSE
bic leaders. although loud in their previous
declarations that they desired nothing so
much as a fair arbitration, are today not
anxious for the closing of the episode save
on their own irrevokable terms. They per-
sonally are not suffering. and the settle
ment of the strike through other means
than those they control would diminish
their prestige. On the other hand the op-
orators are content to let the mines remain
idle so long as they do not flood, and to re-
coup their present losses later when the
coal demand is heavy and the public can
be squeezed to the last penny in the rate.
Where. then, does the public come in?
Why does not the statute guarantee the
right of the consumer. who suffers equally
with the striker and operator, to secure
cessation of the struggle? Coal is a neces-
sity of life, modern conditions exist.
The right of the consumer to buy that
which he must have and which is to be
had for a normal price if the relations be-
tween capital and labor are harmonious is
assuredly equal to that of the striker to
the re-establishment of a fair basis Of
employment. In the last analysis the con-
sumner is more to be considered than The
striker. For he must have the product in
winter time, while the striker may change
his occupation
If this statute is longer neglected the
public will begin to understand, first, that
the strike leaders do not care to have the
dispute ended; second, that compulsory
arbitration laws, er-en when framed appa-
rently with such care as that in Pennsyl-
vania are of no practical avail unless they
specifically provide for the appellate right
of the public. The ideal law of this char
acter, indeed, will grant the power of inl-
tiative to the court itself, or to some Off
cial administrative body. which will auto
matlcaIly take cognizance of notorious con-
ditions which If unchecked will give rise
to serious disturbances of the relations not
alone between employer and employe, but
between the producers and the consumers
of necessities of life.

The Metric System.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

1t Is only because precedent is so per-
sistent, and grown people become lazy and
hate change. that We cling to our old un-
scientific system of weights and measures.
We have a decimal system In our coinage,
and 1t is the most sensible system in the
world. 1t is easy to reckon change and
make up interest. Yet when the attempt Is
made to apply scientific system to meas
ures Of weight. quantity and length, there
are objections that 1t upsets the measures
now In use. OF course 1t does. It consid-
erably upset other things when the barons
forced the king to sign the Magma Chatta.
and when the fathers OF this republic signed
the Declaration OF Independence Men pro-
gress by upsets, paradoxical as that NAV
seem. But the metric system Is gaining,
slightly, yet steadily. -.
