and sometimes half OF a province would

our war with Spain, In the immediate
vicinity Of Manila the Dominicans held
100000 acres. Within the walled city
in Cavite and in Pace, the Dominicans,
Augustinians, Franciscans, Recoletanos,
Sisters Of ST. Vincent de Paul and Jesuits,
all had large churches, converts, schools
and other property; the finest buildings
in the islands were the church buildings.
In 1902 the valuation Of the real estate
of the friars in Manila alone was 5,901, :
97S Mexican dollars. In addition to their

ders have owned sugar estates, blocks
OF real estate, shares in business COM
panies, and have themselves entered into
business enterprises. For awhile they
had the monopoly of the important rice
trade.
At various period the people rebelled
against their power. In 1922 the island
of Bohol made instruction, and again
in 1744; in 1872, in Cavite, there was an
uprising; and in 1896 the Tagalog prov
inces evinced their dissatisfaction with
the priestly power. The object was the
expulsion OF the friars and the conhsca-
ton Of their property, From time to
time secret societies were formed and
much agitation was kept up against &C.
clesiastical control. AS one writer has
so well put it, at the root of all things
political in the islands has lain that most
delicate of all matters, religious ques-
ton. The feeling has grown and grown,
and to-day, whether unjustly or not, there
Is a considerable demand amongst the
natives for the expulsion of the friars.

quired to submit to the administrations

quests, as can readily be understood.
have proved difficult matters to settle at
all satisfactorily, and the question of
what to do with the fliars has been one
Of the very grarest that has confronted
US since We took to expansion. Latest
reports say, however, that the friars
themselves now wish to leave the Philip
pines, would go as body into voluntary
exile from the land where their kind
have labored for SO long.
There are many evidences that the
triars not only took but also bestowed
in their centuries of work in the Philip
pines. They proved Of greatest aid in
protecting their people from invading
Moor and from Chinese pirate. All the
Filipino received in the way of education
and religious instruction was through
the friar; and however narrow that may
aave been, he gave the savage whatever
Or enlightenment he attained to. In
1901 the parish registers showed $780,
1913 church members out of population
estimated at from 5000, 900 to II, oO0, 900.
AS missionary, teacher, confessor, physi-
clan, the friar has played very impor-
tant part in the life of a Filipino COM
munity; and if he has arrogated to him
self much power, he has also borne the
white mans burden of the tropics.

;ionary, and the Spanish conquest of the
Philippines was due to the religious or
iers; to the missionary rather than to
Spanish arms. In the beginning, the
abor was altogether in the line of mis-
sionary endeavor but gradually the
iriar began to have put on his back civil
burdens, and gradually he took unto
himself such burdens, The indolent
Spanish officials found it easier to rule
through these men that spoke the dia-
ect of the native, knew him and his
mode of life so much better than did they
themselves. In the course of time, espe-
eially in the provinces, the friars came
into absolute control. Finally their
power reached such height that if de-
crees were made in Spain not agreeable
TO them they would either have the de-
erees repealed or else ignore them; If
officials were sent out that proved dis
agreeable, they were usually retired
sooner or later.
In the meantime the friars accumu-
lated great wealth. The Spanish govern
ment had bestowed large tracts OF
sparsely settled land upon the church
with the idea that the lands would be
cultivated and the country improved.
And that the friars, or their parish
toner's, improved these lands, is undenia-
Bile; the revenues therefrom have
climbed to high figures; the friars have
been able to build great cathedrals, con-
struct monasteries and converts almost

the last wolf .'clOse in"-that meaning
within what is now the retail and whole
sale district of'the city--in 1886, though
he participated in regularly organized
wolf hunts as late as well into the 40's.
These wolf hunts were events in the So
efal life of the then growing town, and
were participated in by goodly proper
zion OF the male population, and resulted
in the killing of considerable number
of the animals within few miles of the
center OF the town. The record of one
OF these hunting parties was 40 wolves
and one deer.
As late as 1884 400 pound bear was
shot in tree at what is now the inter
section of LaSalle and Adams street, a
point that is now practically the center
OF the business district, but one block
from tire Board of Trade, and was then
within a short distance of the struggling
village street. During the same year a
hzutfng party of half dozen secured the
woods % the north of the village and

relate stories of having hunted wild ami

have to go so very far back to find the

city was not so unusual a thing. AS
late as the early COS it was not an I'M

upon the critical preacher by closing his
church for not complying with the build
ing ordinances
Were all the ordinances upon the
statute books Of Chicago strictly en-
forced the city would be a model for the
municipalities OF the world If it survived
the ordeal. For example, there is q
smoke ordinance that makes 1t a mis-
demeanor for manufacturing establish
ments to turn great clouds OF black
smoke into the atmosphere. The law IS
practically dead letter, and though
there is a spasmodic effort at its enforce
ment the manufacturer of whom an ex-
ample is made pays HIS minimum fine
and his chimneys continue to smoke
Saloons are supposed to close at mid
night. They do so at times only. Dogs
are supposed to wear muzzles through
out the year. A few Of them do during
the summer months, but the really dan
gerous street cur that never wears one
is never molested by the dog catcher. 1t
is the valuable dog that is caught.
Gambling houses, policy shops, books on
the races are not supposed to exist in
the city. They do People are forbid
den to throw refuse into the streets. The
law is dead letter.
These are few minor things. In the
matter OF building construction there is
mot city statute that is not violated
more or less. To attempt to remedy eX-
listing defects would paralize business,
but for time, at least, tits probable that
new buildings will comply with all the
requirements of the laws.
