One of the most disputed matters In con-
nection with the campaign of.the past nine

of the millionaire Roxas. who is now neiu

only a day when he was arrested Hls
friends claim that he was arrested on IN
formation given through the secret ponce
by enemies-a thing that Is quite possible,
and has often happened In the Philippines.
His innocence or guilt is left for the court,
and is not In itself of vital Importance; but
his arrest led to the proclamation by the
constabulary officials of a belief that the

amounted to this, though they deny carry

served to ALLEVIATE good deal of sympathy
from the government.
Charged With Infiicting Torture.
Worse yet the hands of certain of the
Filipino constabulary subordinates do not
seem to be clean of torture in getting and
arraying witnesses for the government in
this case. The charges, indeed. go to the
extreme of instancing in one case a MUIR
der committed by file of soldiers after
selling humble Filipino who refused to
testify to what he was ordered to say, as
is SO often the case with witnesses on both

months back. In this the American officials
were led by the nose by their secret service
informants, who, If they could have all their
rumors followed up, would soon have y. e
whole Philippine archipelago in turmoil.
The government would be better off without
any secret police at all than with the aid OF
informants of this class, supervised by a
class of all-fmpOrtant American officials of
police who imagine they know all about
Filipino affairs, and who, always eager to
make a reputation, are constantly chasing
after rumors about this or that plot. If this
plan of action is not abandoned sooner or
later the government will ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathies of a great many more Fflipinos
whose support 1t needs and could have with
any proper display of confidence.
Conditions on the Whole Good.
This much with reference to the harm
which is done in political way by con-
stabulary errors and abuses in a certain

temptuous proceedings of constabulary Of
iicers in a number of other provinces where
all is peaceful, justice to the Filipinos. even
those of the agitator class, demands that 1t
be recognized that there is a large element
of truth in their complaints. But let no
over-excitable reader drawzthe conclusion
that the constabulary IS .water-curing''
Fjipinos all over the archipelago. and that
Spanish RECOMMENDATION prevails in a large
part of the lowlandS.
The truth is, conditions as to public or

have been expected after the war, and with
the succeeding misfortunes in the form OF
plaques devastating men, work animals and
crops. There has been a steady gain in the
general conditions of peacefulness and Or

Batangas are the focus of the evil of ban
ditry; also the focus of complaints against
the constabulary. which will lead to
needed purging Of It's personnel and reor-

was reported last year of the molestation
of one of them.
Lastly, the real reason why there are
abuses committed by the constabulary is
that the ignorance and timidity of the Fill
Pine masses is such that they do not know
their rights under the law. and will
not dare to assert them against a fell
low-citizen in uniform where they are
told. The underlying cause of the whole
trouble is social. Until this state of affairs
is remedied by education secured through
the schools and otherwise there will be
abuses, no matter what sort of an organi-
zatioD for the policing of the provinces is
main tanned. The constabulary Is, however,
too much of a military organization. and
Its officials are too fond of seeking military
promotion. These are the lines along which
reform must Immediately be sought

stabulary officials and the superior officials
of government deny these charges, but
they are iterated and reiterated in the
Philippines by both Americans and Filipinos
who ought to be acquainted with the facts.
they are believed by all Filipinos to be
true, and they have never at any time re-
ceived the serious attention that they ought
to have received in government circles. 1t
Is not enough to become morally satisfied
that such charges are false; 1t Is necessary
that 1t be publicly demonstrated. beyond
cavil, that such charges are calumnies. II
this cannot be demonstrated, then sharp
and prompt punishment must be melted out
to the constabulary officials or privates who
are the offenders.
The truth is, the constabulary has been
built into a little army. now upward of 6,000
troops. instead Of being as II was intended
to be. police organization which should CO.
operate with the provincial and municipal
governments. Various remedies have been
proposed in petitions to the Secretary of
War and his companions, but in every case,
unless 1t be with reference to the charge of
executive interference with the Philippine
new provisions of law but in the CARRYING
out of the provisions of law that are already
on the books.
Remedies in Existing Laws.
The law provides for effective methods of
disciplining abuses of the constabulary. The
trouble is some of the constabulary officials
have of late got into lawiess frame OF
mind. They do not like the interference
that comes from the safeguards that have
been thrown about the Filipnos as citizens
by the Filipino bill of rights Therefore,
every time there is local disorder they are
sure to plead for the suspension of the writ
of habeas corpus. This Is no new thing, but
has been true from the first But last win
ter the commission yielded and suspended
the writ in Cavite and Batangas Worse
evils have succeeded from the lack of re-
stTafnt upon the subordinates of the con-
stabuIary than would have resulted from
fighting banditry without the aid of a vir-
tual proclamation OF military law.
But the thing has to be carried through to
its end now. And 1t Is noteworthy that in a
number of cases the constabulary officials
are employing some of the very men as as
cret iil-wishers of the government some

handed over the reins of government TO his
son, who has also been involved in fifteen
public scandals.
The Grand Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
who is not quite twenty-one years of age,
is already involved in a serious dispute with
his subjects, which has made him intensely
unpopular among them. The rightful Duke
of Brunswick Is in exile because he refuses
to recognize the suzerainty of Prussia, and
his dominions are administered by Prus-
sian prince appointed by the kaiser. The
Duke of Sake Meningen is boycotted by all
his fellow monarchs because he contracted
a scandalous morganatic marriage with
low-born woman, who afterward received
the title of Baroness Heldburg.
\ curious feature about all these little
German courts which cost SO much and
which produce many scandals calculated
to discredit monarchical institutions Is that
they are purely ornamental. Although all
the little monarchs theoretically possess
sovereign powers they are as a matter of
fact nothing more than vassals of the en-
peror 1t Is true that the emperor can de-
clare war, conclude treaties and promulgate
laws in the name of the empire only with
| the consent Of the federal council, but this
council is absolutely controlled by his own
country of Prussia. The emperor Is COM
nlander-in-chef. of the entire German army.
| In time of peace Bavaria administrators its
own army, but the troops of Saxony and
Wurtemberg and all the other German
states are controlled by Prussia.
When the troops are enlisted they swear
| loyalty to their respective sovereigns, but
| they swear obedience to the orders of the
| emperor The emperor has absolute control
| over the entire navy without any Interior
| ence from the other monarchs. The en-
| peror has the right of summoning, opening.
| adjourning and proroguing the reichstag.
| The laws of the empire, which are practi
| cally controlled by Prussia, take precedence
| over the laws of the states and are compul-
| sorry on all the minor governments.
The little German courts perform one
! service however, which should not be over
! looked. When the princes of the great
| reigning families of Europe are short of
| wives they can always find ladies of birth
| equal to their own among the minor Ger
| man royal families, while the princesses of
| great imperial and royal houses can marry
| occupants of the little German thrones and
| their relatives without sacrificing their
| royal rank and dignity.
