The Friar Land Problem.

The President reviewed the history of
the Philippines and the educational work
of the Augustinian Fathers there, and told
how the friar lands came to be purchased.
He said
When we reached the Philippines tenants
on these lands refused to recognize the
title of the friars, although the title was
the best title in the islaI1ts. But under
Aguinaldo's government they have done
what other governments sometimes do with
nationalized the land. That means they
had taken 1t away from the orders and
had appropriated it TO themselves NOW we
came in there with our Ideas OF justice
and ownership of property. The moment
we re-established order and put IN courts
it became necessary for US to use the strong
arm of Justice to re-establish the frlars in
the ownership to those lands, IN the colIec-
ton of rents from the tenants ana IN the
establishment generally OF thelt alsnt5 ir %

Of sixty thousand tenants, and that meant

resolution providing for a constitutional
amendment authorizing the election of
United States Senators by direct vote In
opposition to Mr. Bristows motion Senator
Hepburn held the floor until o'clock, when
the postal savings bank bill came up as the
unfinished business.
Senator Carter made a long speech in
explanation of the House amendments to
the bill. He was followed by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, who denounced
the House amendments and declared that
the bill was q sham. Mr.. Smith soon got
away from the question of postal savings,
however, and discussed his hobby, the sad
fate of the cotton growers Of the South

POLITICS NOT INVOLVED.-The as
sumption of certain newspaper and tech
nical journals that the interest shown by
the Geological Survey in the selection Of a
proper chief of the new Bureau of Mines is
due to politics is wholly without warrant
The two leading candidates for this place
are J. A. Holmes, chief technologist, and
z. W. Parker, chief of the division of min
ing and mineral resources, both of the Geo
logical Survey. The political influence of
both men is probably about evenly divided,
but DR.. Holmes is affiliated with the Pin
chot-Newell faction and DR.. Parker is not
OF course, the desire of the President is to
secure the man best fitted for this respon-
sible post, and the indications are that he
will choose Dr.. Parker. whose ability is
unquestioned DR.. Smith, director of the
Geological Survey, favors Parker as the
man best suited for the place, and the one
who could best cooperate with the survey.
Such coordination and cooperation are
promised in the provisions of the bill Great
ing the new bureau, and II is, of course,
essential that a man who could carry them
out be selected. The administration officers
of the Geological Survey are in a position
to Judge the administrative ability and
qualifications at least Of these two candi-
dates. In Canada there is a lack of CO.
ordination and cooperation between the
Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines.
and the resulting conditions are described
as deplora BILE Unless the Bureau of Mines
is to work in harmony with the Geological
Survey It had better never have been
remarked a Senator who is
largely responsible for the creation Of the
new bureau to-day.
