GRADUATING RECITAL
Given n the College Chapel by AIi,.e,
Messenger Tuesday Evening

An interesting graduates recital was
given in the College chapel Tuesday
evening by Miss Rose Messenger. con
tralto, and Miss Sadie Messenger. post
graduate pianist Miss Rose Messenger
made an impression from the first: her
voice Is rich, full, and Of an unusual
quality; her rendition of Mendelssolrn' :

the tone production showing conscien-
tious work and careful training. For
clever execution, the ARIA" deserves
special mention; fiexibilty of tone
prevailed throughout the number, and
this is rarely found in so large a voice as
Miss Messengers.
Miss Sadie Messenger as pianist dis
played unusual musical talent and
intelligence. She plays with a finish
and style rarely found in young
musicians; her production is clear, full.
and capable of much modulation. Her
rendition of the GODDARD and Schuett
groups showed good technical command
of the instrument, as did also the
Concerto in G. Minor" by Mendelssohn.
The special features in the concerto"
were the beautiful tone in the melody
and the limpid clearness Of runs in the
"Ardante" movement, and the brilliant
execution in the last movement. The
recital from beginning to end was an
uncommonly good one, and reflected
much credit upon the music department
of the College The audience was keenly
appreciative and received the program
with an approval of heartiness. The
program was as follows:

bandolero chiefs who is now causing
a great deal of trouble in one of the
southern provinces, was formerly an
independent farmer who turned bandit
because the local hemp buyer, who
was a cacique, continually cheated him
out of the fruits of his toll. This
farmer would carry his little crop on
his back over mountain trails for
miles, only to receive few cents for
it, when in reality is was worth as
many dollars. If he tried to sell to
any one but the boss he was punished.
AS a consequence of such treatment
he gave up trying to make a peaceful
living, and on more than one occasion
has visited terrible vengeance for his
wrongs.
In explaining the workings of the
cacique system, a country school
teacher told me how the edibles were
secured to provide a banquet for the
first Taft party that went through the
islands. and the same will apply to
the delegation now touring the archi-
pelago. Every native within miles
was assessed a chicken or a pig, or

will be justice and prosperity in this
benighted land. Striking proof of the
wretched state of affairs is shown by
a great case now engaging the atten-
ton of the courts of Manila. The
richest plantation owner in the Phil
ippines is being tried for encouraging
outlawry.
This man owns q principality con-
sisting of many acres of land, upon
which there are thousands of employees
and countless herds of cattle and car
abao. 1t became known to the au-
thorities that he had given money to
the ladrones in that locality. The evil
dence brought forth at this trial re-
vealed how deep-rooted and perni-
cious this system has become. This
millionaire farmer admitted that it
was cheaper to pay the bandits a GER
tain sum not to modest his stock, or
people, than to refuse their demands
and suffer loss from their depreda-
lions. How hopeless is the case of the
average poor man when the richest
and most powerful citizen in the coun-
try is found yielding to the influence
of brigandage.
Another case was found where a
rich plantation owner had kept a band
of ladrones in his employ in order to
keep other thieves away from his local
ity. This after seven years OF
American rule! Will the reader not
agree that the officials deserve much
sympathy in their attempt to estab-
lish law and order in a country cursed
with such systems as these?
LADRONISM MUST BE STOPPED.
1t should be said once and for all
that the continuation of brigandage
in the Philippines can not be charged
to American misrule These upriS-
ings, instead of being revolts against
the government, are native quarrels.
Although outlawry in the islands was
undoubtedly conceived by abused ma
tives who had no other way of aveng-
ing their wrongs, it has now become
an inviting calling for shiftless dare
devils, who are abetted by unscrupu-
lous men of power, some for the sake
of plundering the population, others
because they have not the courage to
resist its demands
Where the American administration
has erred has, been in the exercise Of
too much patience and tolerance. AL
though this is true, the officials could
hardly have done otherwise. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's mild policy of pacification
had to be thoroughly tried. That soft
measures can not suppress the outlaw,
and his confederate the boss, is now
understood. The strong arm of au-
thority must rescue the serf from bon
dage, and protect his life and proper
ty. There is no use to build and edu-
cate by day, if organized cutthroats

will be hindered for years to come.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Preparing for the Big BattIe-on t
Harain

Preparing for the Big 5attIe-on to
Hardin.
The signs point to another clash be.
tween Japanese and Russians this
week unless the latter see lt to retire
toward Hardin. Field Marshal Oyama,
after time of brief reorganization of
his main army during which small
bodies have been skirting the Russian
TANKS, has evidently begun another adj
vance Of his entire force with wings
far extended. 1t will be for the Rus
SLAMS to fight or fall back.
At several points north of Tie Pass
the Russians have thrown up heavy
entertainments, and in the positions
most easily defended there will no
doubt be stubborn resistance. It is
hard to say whether a permanent
stand can be made, but there are slight
reasons for believing that such will
be the case. Although achievements
are reported to have been reaching
General Linevitch daily, he is still nu-
merically inferior, and, unless better
generalship or stronger fighting quail
tiles are shown than in the past, it
would seem that there will be nothing
to do but sound the retreat again.
Oyama is operating to the west, and
there is always the fear that he will
cut the Russian communications. It
has not been given out by the Rus
slams whether they hope to hold their
present ground. or intend to delay the
Japanese advance only in order to get
things in shape in Hardin, and pro-
vide for protecting the line of COM
munications from that city toward the
west. But their intentions heretofore
do not seem to have cut much figure,
and for some time to come their move
ments will, as in the past, probably be
determined by what Oyama succeeds
in doing.
