ranteed by our bill Of rights which
says:
THAT no law shall be made respect
ing an establishment Of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof
and that the free exercise and enjoy
ment of religious profession and wor-
ship without discrimination or pre-
ference. shall forever be allowed"
Unfortunately, this provision is eth
err unknown or misunderstood in Di-
nalupihan, and ] wish you would in
struct the municipal authorities on the
subject. They should be made to I'M
derstand thoroughly that every person,
be he Catholic or Aglipayan, Protes-
tant or Mahomedan, has an absolute
right to worship his God in his own
way and that it is a matter with which
his neighbor may not interfere except
by legitimate argument and persua-
sion.
If these meetings on the pubic
streets or plazas are quiet and orderly
and do not actually obstruct the use
of the street by others while they are
held they are perfectly lawful and 1t Is
the duty Of the municipal officials to
protect rather than to prosecute them.
Persons holding orderly religious meet
ings on private property have an alb
solute right to protection from disturb
ance. Any municipal officer having
authority who fails to render protec-
ton in such a case is guilty OF a neglect
of duty.
If the facts are as stated the posi-
ton of the municipal authorities is
particularly indefensible. To prohir''
a quiet meeting in a public street Of
the members of one denomination
while at the same time a band Of an
other denomination is permitted to
play on the street in such manner
as to break up a meeting held on pri-
vate property is persecution and moth
ing else.
Please make the municipal author
tiles under your jurisdiction and es-
pecially those in Dinalupihan under
stand their duties in such matters and
impress upon them that whatever may
be their personal opinion in religious
matters or whatever the opinion OF
the majority of the inhabitants, the
minority has the right to worship In
it's own way and is entitled to the
protection Of the authorities. Failure
of municipal authorities to give pro
lection to citizens In the exercise Of
religious worship not only brings the
municipality into disrepute but-fs pun
ishable as a neglect of official duty.
Very respectfully,
JAS. +. SMITH,
Governor General.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
IN PHILIPPINES
The Governor General Lays Down The
Law to a Provincial
Governor.
COMPLAINT FROM METHoDIsTs.
Strong Argument Against Granting
The Measure of Self
Government"

MANILA, May 2.-The Governor
General has written a letter to the
governor of Bataan province calling
his attention to the duties of the au-
thorities in the matter of guaranteeing
religious freedom and the right to hold
orderly religious meetings. The occa-
sion that called it forth is explained
in the letter itself which runs as fol-
lows:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-06-01
Manila, April 29, 1908.

My Dear Governor: Complaint is
made by the authorities of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church that in Dinalu-
pihan the members of that church:
Tried to hold meetings as has been
their custom in past months, in the
plaza and in a certain public street.
The presidente drove them off TIME
and again. They then held their
meetings in the yard of a member, at
which they report, the presidente hired
a band to come and play directly in
front of the meeting, which has created
so much disturbance that their meet
ings are always broken up. They re-
port that the presidente said he had
orders from the governor of the pro-
vince to the effect that they could not
hold meetings in the plaza or street;
that he could not only not give them
permission to hold such meetings but
that he was obliged to use force if
necessary to stop the meetings"
l place no credence whatever in the
statement that you issued such an or
der but it is evident that the municipal
authorities are indulging in a form
of religious persecution which is un-
fortunately too common in the Philip
pines and which affords a strong ar
gument against granting the measure
of self-government SO much desired
by the people and their friends.
Respect and tolerance for the reli-
gious and political beliefs of others is
at the foundation of free institutions
and the indulgence in religious perse-
cution is evidence of unfitness for self
government. Religious liberty is qua

CHINA IS MAD
FOR THE FLEET
AMERICANS IN CELESTIAL EN-
PRE- ARE REPORTED TO BE IN
CENSED AT MINISTER ROCKHILL

SHANGHAI, May 4.-Americans in
China are incensed at Minister Rock
hill. 1t Is authenticity reported that
he is responsible for the change in the
schedule of the battleship fleet by
which the intended visit to Chinese
ports is to be omitted. Representations
of the conditions in China and the
probable misconstruction to be placed
upon such a visit, made by Rockhill,
are known to have impressed the au-
thorities at Washington and to have
caused the change. To these repre-
sensations the Pekin government has
strenuously objected, doing all within
diplomatic propriety to have the fleet
call
movement is on foot among Am
orleans in the various Chinese ports to
expose to Washington the great I'M
popularity of Rockhil and to show
that this renders him useless as a rep
resentative of American interests here.
1t is further proposed to snow the
Government at Washington that
American interests in China are
suffering through Rockhills de-
sire to create a condition in China that
will throw responsibility upon him and
render his position of greater impor-
lance. The leaders of the movement
go so far as to demand that he be re-
called and that his place be filled by a
more energetic man and one better
qualified and more inclined to care for
| American interests in China. Bust
ness men throughout the empire re-
gard one fact as very significant
namely: that the relations Between
the United States and China greatly
improved during the absence of Rock
hill from the country, whereas his re-
turn to Pekin has been followed by
rapid disintegration of the cordial and
satisfactory relations between the two
countries -Manila Cablenews- Ameri-
can.

Coughs.

Every person who coughs should not
alarm himself with the idea that he is
in a bad way. Experience has con
vinced us of fact that there are two
distinct kinds of coughs-one proceed
ing from an affection of the lungs and
air tubes. as in cold, the other pro
ceeding from eferveScence in the
stomach The lungs cough is a symp-
tom which all know to require atten-
ton. lest serious consequences ensue
The stomach cough is a much more
simple matter and may easily be got
quit of. 1t is caused by the food and
drink which are put into the stomach
effervescing and producing an irrita-
ton. a knowledge of this fact ought
to lead persons so affected to ponder a
little on the nature of their ailment and
the tone of their digestive powers

ST. LOUIS AERONAU1
L)SES BALLOON IN
NORTH SEA
II Sank In Waters Last Night
During Gordon Bennett En-
durdnCe Race at Berlin.
OTHER AIRSHlPS
HAVE COME DOWN

Berlin, Oct. l3.-A wireless message
today from Arnold, conductor of the
st. Louis balloon in the Gordon Ben
nett cup race, says: Lost everything
in the North sea last night" An
other dispatch received here says that
the ST. Louis sank in the North sea
and that the occupants were rescued
by schooner.
1t is believed that the fog prevented
Arnold and Hewitt. who accompanied
him, from seeing the water, and that
they were blown to sea without any
knowledge of where they were going.
The Belgian balloon, Utopia, landed
last night near Cushaven, within 500
yards of the beach. The German
Koelln landed at o'clock this MORN
ing on the island Norrstrand and the
German Pegintz came down at dawn
today 200 yards from the water near
Bremerhaven. These airships left
Berlin yesterday in an endurance con-
test. Half dozen others have also
come down close to the sea.
