In the whole STORY of Judge Taft
brilliant and useful career as Jurts
executive and diplomat there IL NJ
more creiitable chapter than that de
voted to his adjustment of the contro
yersy concerning what were known as
the ~Friars' Lands" In the Philip
pines. Those lands. consisting OF
some 100000 acres of the most fer
tile soil in the islands, were held by
priests of certain religious orders, but
were occupied and farmed by native
tenants, who complained that the
rentals exacted by their clerical land
lords were excessive. Upon the with
drawal of Spanish authority from the
Archipelago the Friars' Lands became
the subject of earnest controversy.
The farmer tenants contended that
the property should be taken from the
priests and thrown open to purchase
in small parcels by the actual occu-
pants. There was demand, indeed,
for the confiscation of the property
and the priests themselves, in their
ignorance of American methods, were
fearful that such a course might be
adopted.
It became one of Mr.. Taft's tasks
to settle this serious dispute, and he
accomplished 1t in a manner which
not only greatly increased his own
popularity and enlarged American
prestige in the islands, but developed
among the clerical authorities and the
tenant farmers vastly more neigh
borly spirit, and a more harmonious
community of interest than had ever
existed before. Mr.. Taft carefully in
vestigated all conditions relating to
the Friars' Lands. He consulted the
clerical landlords, the higher church
authorities and the tenant farmers.
Then he went to Rome, where his
proposals for an amicable adjustment
of the controversy received the cor
dial approval of the papal authorities.
The Friars' Lands were purchased for
sum approximating 100000.
| Clerical landlordism ceased and the
property was divided into small par
| cells and sold on easy terms to former
tenants and others DESTROYS OF en-
gsging in agriculture.
The real Importance of this trans
action is appreciated only by those
familiar with the manifold and deli
cate problems which have been en-
countered In the work OF Americana
ing the Philippines. The settlement
| of the affair by Mr.. Taft removed per.
manently fruitful source OF friction
between the civil and the religious in.
terests of the islands. 1t laid the
foundation for kindlier relations anG
more intimate cooperation between
the civil government and the author
tiles of the church. 1t set before thu
Filipinos a high example of American
friendship and fair dealing which ii
bound to exert a wholesome mora
and educational influence for man.
years to come. In short, it may b.
said without exaggerating, that tn
adjustment of the controversy owe
the Friars' Lands through the effort
of Mr.. Taft has brought into being al
added safeguard for Christian insti
buttons in the Philippines.

MS grafton on popular government
IN Charleston, s. c., with Senator
Ililman as chairman of his meeting.
Mr. Bryan's sentiments have q pure
ly geographical sincerity. His epi-
grams and startling conundrums are
especially designed to meet local de-
mands. OF this nature are all his
views on tariff and taxation,
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time trust is formed tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every
time trust Is dissolved a new duty
should be added. is too funny even
for comic opera.
II on March 4 next Mr.. Bryan
should become President, with

statute books the financial and eco

his speech of last Friday, 1t would

he should begin by repeating the duty
on sugar to punish the Sugar Trust.

England or the CarolinAa were dump
ing goods in Chfn1 IN rivalry with
England and Germany. be would d.
vert other millions from the Treas
ury and invite still further indus

But, of course, Mr.. Bryan would
do none of these things, any more
than he will invade the solid South

racy to the defence Of the Constitu-

BRYAN TRUE TO SILVER IDOL
BELIEF IN HIS PANAcEA WILL
REMAIN UNSHAKEM.
Declaration Of Faith Made to Gov.
Of the Past, the Present
and tho Future.

1t would be extremely unkind to
say that Mr.. Bryan is tickle In his
political belief. His best friends
would be the last to make such an
assertion, for they realize Thoroughly
that theif leader, when he has once
implanted conviction firmly In his
mind. clings to 1t like grim death,
| This Is especially true OF Mr..
Bryan's attitude on the Silver dues-
ton through which he flrst rose to
prominence. He has very lite to say
about that question at present. but
that he is absolutely certain that
1t Is subject OF the greatest i'm
portance and that his own particular
financial panacea is the only safe
guide for the United States may be
plainly seen from the following ex-
tracts from his collected wisdom:
In an address at the Jefferson Club
Banquet at Lincoln, Neb., December
26, 1900, Mr.. Bryan said:
The principles for which we con-
tended In the last campaign still live,
and We who believe In them must
continue to hight for them. An cleo
ton does not change principles; It
only determines what principles shall
for the time being be applied"
In the North American Review, in
the same month, Mr.. Bryan recorded
this declaration Of faith:
ITO consider this election as de-
cisive OF the money question would
be as absurd as to have regarded the
election of 1896 as decisive of the
tarih question. 1t would be more
reasonable to regard the late election
as conclusive upon the question Of
Imperialism or upon the trust ques-
ton. both of which were discussed
more by our people than the money
question
The increased production of gold
has lessened the strain upon gold.
and has to some extent brought the
relief which Democrats proposed to
bring in a larger measure by the re-
storation of silver; but there Is no
assurances whatever that the gold
supply, even with the new discoveries,
will be sufficient to maintain the level
OF prices. Favorable conditions have
given us an abnormal share of the
worlds supply of gold, but the
scarcity of the yellow metal abroad
Is already leading to the export of
gold, while the increase in the issue
OF banknOtes Is evidence that we are
still short of money here. The Re-
publicans defend the gold standard
not by logic, but by giving 1t credit
for better times. When prosperity
fails, the gold standard will lose it,

by the Boyd people that Latta used
great amounts Of money, and reported
only a small share of his expenditures
