RELIGION IN THE PHILIPPINES.

In a recent mail the Blade was made the
recipient of copy of small pamphlet pub
lished by Bruce Rogers, of Girard, Kansas,
consisting of a compilation of extracts from
a message transmitted to the United States
Senate by the late President William Nc
Kinley upon the issue of religion and re-
gous influences the Philippine Islands,
especially dealing with the conduct of the
friars and representatives of the Roman
Catholic church under Spanish dominion. The
work is of startling nature and exposes, by
investigation, inquiry and judicial, or quasi
judicial procedure, the political intrigues and
gross immoralities practiced upon the people
in the name and by the authority of a mer-
cful Christ.
For the most part the pamphlet gives the
testimony elected verbatim and names Of
persons testifying. That such a document
should be sumb:tted to the Senate of the

lie and in the face of such testimony, cabinet
officers and their co-laborers could indulge in
political intrigue with the modern representa-.
tives of that same church, is almost beyond
credibility. Mere flashes of this testimony
had heretofore found it's way into public
print but so far as we know this is the first
time it has been SO extensively published.
Taken from official report the facts fur
nished accorded both weight and authori-
ty. perusal Of this pamphlet is well calcu-
lated to make the American people sit up and
seriously reflect upon their possessions in the
eastern archipelago. American officials also
give their testimony which include Brigadier-
General r. p. Hughes, and number of Amer
lean journalists. Interviews with Filipino of
fcials and prominent residents of the larger
cities, who, with one accord, condemn the
friars for their conduct in general, and many
cite instances and particulars wherein they
constituted distinct curse to the country.
The whole investigation is based upon a
Senate resolution adopted January 49, 1901.

RELIGION IN AMERICA.

The struggle for religious liberty in Amer
lea, eliminating in the Declaration of indie.
pendence, and that essentially secular instru-
ment, the constitution of the United States,
constitute a narrowing and bloody chapter
in the early history of the colonization of
the New World.
Tracing through the uncertain light and in
definite accounts given Of that early period
we find that on December IL, 1920, the May
flower landed at Plymouth. The company
numbered l02. King James l. of England
had declared that he would compel the Puri-
tans to conform to the church of England,
or, failing in his purpose, to harry them out
of the country through governmental perse-
cutionI Innumerable prosecutions followed.
All over England the separatists were SUBJ
jected to such gross brutalities that they
determined upon leaving and hundreds
of them emigrated to Holland. Some of
their English habits and speech among the
Dutch, so they applied for and secured per-
mission to settle upon the coast of New Jer-
sey, then part of Virginia, and under the
leadership of William Brewster Miles Stand
ish, and John Bradford, they came to America.
Winds carried them too far north to allow
them to land on the Jersey coast, they
landed at Plymouth
Still later in 1928, Archbishop Land made
an unwise and injudicious attempt, under
Charles T. to restore Roman Catholic Cere.
monials in the Church of England. This cre-
ated further religious dissent and more per-
secutions for opinions sake followed. Re-
voting against this policy large body of
Puritans decided to emigrate 70 America as
Others had done before them. Acquiring q

in agonzing prayer" That kind of prayer
ought to fetch EN- If it don't the other
brands are sure to fail and the good lord
OF the Christian hosts will soor be up a
tree
From perusal thereof, however, we have
been able to learn the gender of the holy
spirit and to our immense delight we find
that it is masculine. 1t would have been a
terrific blow to the sterner sex to have the
holy spirit woman, she, it were, but
with the tutors for authority our fears are
allayed and we delight in the fact that he is
male person. Speaking of patched-up
vival INDUCED in, the prospectus says that
it was without leader, and that "the holy
spirit was the chief executive and everyone
acted as HE dictated" This makes the trim
ity composed absolutely of men. Not wom-
an in the firm. As inferior creatures just
little lower than men, they ought not to
aspire to "a partnership in the god business.
As have never been previously informed
upon the sex of the holy spirit we had begun
to dread the possible fact that it might be a
woman, but Asbury College came to the res
cue in time to save from doubt and almost
despair Now we know we are SAFE Man
is likely to stand by man and our chances
on the future are enha led. No female deities
for us. The heavenly hierarchy would be in
a dreadful fix if woman should happen to
creep into the firm. Safety and satisfac-
ton is thus derived and as the prospectus is
to be widely circulated let us hope that 9th
ers will also profit by the information thus
vouchsafed.
When it comes to doing the god business,
man has gigantic monopoly and he can now
rest in sweet content, take smoke in the
chimney corner and reflect upon what it is to
to be in such combine.

Keeping Hogs.

The proper keeping of swine is an
important matter for most good far
mers in all parts of this country.
To keep the pig in health is thus
often an important item.
Cleanliness and food both enter in
to this business. So does the charac-
ter of the water supplied.
knowledge and observation go regu-
larly together.
Much that is lost to many a farmer
can be put to good use in the work.
The value of corn in feeding swine is
fully appreciated; that of other things
to be seen on most farmer is not.
Swine do best and keep freer from
disease when allowed a variety OF
wholesome food.
The food ought to be of a character
to support we'll all the animals struc-
ture.
The ration is to be provided regular
ly; all no more, than is eaten up fully
is to be allowed at a time.
The animal is to be kept steadily

Testing SEEDS For the Farm.

The olher day a rascal was found TO
have made a small fortune by chop
ping up palm-lcaf fans and selling the
stuff at a dollar a packe', containing
pinch or two of the precious dust
which was said to be TIE seed Of q
rare exotic flower. So writes ". G..
Fi;z-General in the Technical World
Magazine for March.
He advertised widely and numbered
professional florists among his victims.
True he disclaimed responsibility for
the terminating power of his seed,
but this is a common warning even
on the wares of reputable seedmen, so
that the buyers planted, watched, and
watered with pathetic zeal until at
length an engry lady laid the swind-
Ter by the heels.
Now farm and flower seed of the
highest quality is costly stuff. So
infinitely is that of the calceolaria, tina
the actual cost of producing the finest
strain exceeds ten times the weight
of the seed in purest gold. Mignonet-
tie seed, too, is by no means cheap, yet
that of the begonia is at least sixty
times dearer; and liberal allowance
for a 50 packet is measured in a tiny
spoon with an outside diameter of
of an inch. And yet
in that small spoonful there will be
enough seed to produce more than 100
stately begonia plants.
The writer goes on to describe the
careful testing seeds undergo at the
hands of the experts in the reliable
seed houses, and of government in
spectors and an interesting series of
photographs illustrates the nest.

Are You Suterstiti0uS.

In the eyes of thes superstitious
the cat is a strange and mysterious
creature. There are a great many
people, even among the non supersti-
tious who cannot bear to touch cat,
and hate the sight of one twill give
almost anyone the creeps on a dark
night to see the two glowing ords Of
a big feline fixed upon him, shining
like two balls of fire in vacant space.
No wonder that the cat has always
figured in the stories involving the su
pernatural. We are going to relate
little story now, which may be some
thing or nothing just as the reader
wishes.
One day last summer the wife OF
the old man Harrison Hatfield was
found dead, killed by poison, admins
tered, it was charged by his hands.
Nearby lay the family cat, killed by
eating from the same food. Everyone
remembers the arrest and trial of the
old man, and how he was afterwards
found guilty and later died within the
bleak walls of our county Jail. On the
last day of the trial John A. Sheppard
made a vigorous and able speech
against the old man charged with the
crime. Just as he reached the stron-
gest point in his preoration large cat
appeared in the gallery of the court
house. No one had noticed cat
come in, but there he was, and look
ing over towards the judge and jury
he gave one long plaintive NEW, and
took his departure. No one saw him
come or go. one SO far as we
know has seen cat in the court room
before or since. Was it a mere coin
cidence, or will some superstitious per
son say that it was the feline that died
by strychnine back on Horsepen Fork,

Parental Example.

There is food for thought in the
story that is told of a young lad,
who for the first time accompanied
his father to a public dinner. The
waiter asked him, what will you
take to drink" Hesitating for a
moment, he replied. "I'll take what
father takes" The answer reached
his fathers ear, and instantly the
full responsibility of his position
flashed upon him. In a, moment
his decision was made; and In tones
tremulous with emotion and to
the establishment of those who knew
knew him he said: Waiter, I'll
take water"

When French Words Became
English.

The French element, which entered
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1908-04-10

into the English tongue during the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries
occupies a position entirely distinct
from that which came later, says Prof.
Lounsbury in Harper's. English would
not be English without it. Most of it
has become as much an integral part
of the speech of common life as is the
native element by the side of which
it took its place. 1t is absolutely es-
sential to the communication of
thought or the expression of feeling
To the large proportion of the terms
then introduced no sense of strange
ness attaches. Few of us II CIV the
difference in their origin, none of us
feel it They call up no different as
sociations. Not even to the educated
man does the word face suggest the
thought of the remote Latin original
from which it is derived. To the I'M
educated the Romance color is much
more familiar than the hue of native
origin whith it finally displaced as the
general can be made about flower and
bloom. Dinner and supper are words
of French extraction; they are just as
nearto all of us as the Teutopic break
fast. Accordingly it is not the mere
introduction of French words into the
speech which distinguishes English fro
its Immediately allied tongues. 1t is
their absorption as an integral part
of it. Other Teutonic languages can
get rid of whatever Romance element
they possess, if they regularlyset about
the undertaking. English could not
get rid of it if it would.
In the Eighteenth century, when hos
tility to France was very violent,
the indignant Briton, relieved his feel
ings on this particular grievance by
sending protests to the Gentleman
Magazine. In 1887, Angus after con-
demning certain Latin terms, such as
ultimatum, facsimile, factotum, put un
der the ban more than forty French
words, which according to him, had
lately been introduced into the speech.
Many of them in fact had made their
way into it long before he was born.
Inthe list of those which he desired
to see barred from acceptance were
amateur, bagatelle, critique, chaperon
environs, etiquette, lieu in the phrase
'in lieu Of" presentiment, piquant and
spectacle.
Fired by his example, A Plain Eng
lishman later in the same year, took
the field to attack the Frenchified Ian
guage so much in vogue. did those
English WRITER'S" he wrote indignant
| ly whose works are reckoned among
the best standards of the English Ian
guage feel the want of these French
phrases?' Far from 1t was his an
swer to his own question. Had the
writings of Addison, Steele, Swift
Johnson and many Others" he went
on to say, been disgraced and defor-
med by the interlarding hauteur debut
native entree, outre, amateur nonchal-
ance, abroad etc., they would never
have risen to that rank of estima-
ton which they now SO deservedly
hold"
