The Philippine Friar Lands

In the opinion of the House Committee on In
sular Affairs, which investigated the charges
made by Representative Martini of Colorado the
public lands in the Philippines do not include
the frlar lands" and therefore the restrictions
imposed in the Philippine Organic act of 1902 do
not prevent the sale of friar lands in any amount
eltner 10 individuals or corporations This is a
thoroughly lawyer-like decision, which neverthe-
less is plainly at variance with the spirit if not
the letter of the Organic act
The purpose of Congress in 1902 in 1imi+ino bv
law the amount of public lands that could be
acquired by an individual or a corporation was
10 lOFesta the exploitation of the islands at the
expense OF the Filipinos. Several years later 400
wv acres OF tr1ar estates were purchased by the
fhllpplne government from the religious asso-
cations by means of a $7,000,OOO bond issue The
aVoWed policy of theUnited States was to do
away with these large landowners whom tho
Fhlnplnos viewed with hostility, and to lease or
sell the frar estates in small parcels for cu1tivo
ton by the natives.
Inc first notice that the American public re-
G1l'eu CnaC Chls policy was to be abandoned was
the news that a Mr. Poole, acting for certain ner
sons connected with the Sugar Trust had mr.
chased the San Jose estate of Sc 600 acres nearly
one-seVenth OF the entire area of frar lands For
Irlar landlord1sm American absentee landlordism
had been substituted.
Inc majority members of the House Committee
on lnsular Affairs admit that the title to friar
land sold in this way may be questioned Tho
minority members urge that no more large tracts
pe solo by the Government and that Congress
amend the law so as to guard against unlimited
sales and leases to single propretors
unless 1t is the purpose of the administration
10 promote the exploitation of the Agricultural
lands of the Philippines in plain disregard of no
purpose or the Organic act of 1902 it shou1d
suspend further operations at Manila and call on
congress to make that it's original intentions
are carried out in the future.-New York World.

THOMSON, GA, MARCH 8, 1911.


AS our eloquent evangelist, James Madison
Bass would say, hear me
The cost of maintaining public institutions
IN this country consumes, annually, the almost
incredible sum of $2,5O0,O0OOOO Churches,
private schools, interest on foreigners invest
ments, money spent abroad by tourists, and
the increasing extravaganza of Foreign Mis-
slons, absorb all the remainder of the annual
increase IN qOe0zth-$4,O OO,OOOOOO. The en-
tirety of the yearly yield of American in
dustry having thus been expended where are
the Trusts to get their little wads? Who is
to fill their modest maWs?
They naturally expect to be dieted, YOU
know. We can't allow the patriotic creatures
to 90 hungry. We don't wish to listen to
them cry for something to eat. They must be
fed.
But who is to supply the provender? The
annual increase in wealth has already been
spOnged up, as above mentioned
You can see for yourself that it cost us a
pile Of money to make these corporations COM

How much was that little feed-bill?

institutions: but the net profits of the cor
porations came out of what the 100000

The government takes the cream: the cor
p0ratiOns are tapping up the mizh!
The governmental tendency is, to take more
and more. Offices are being multi piled, in all
directions, Salaries have yeasty qualities:
they are on the rise, in all departments. Soon,
the governmental institutions will not be
satiated on the cream: they will go to tapping

Earliest Use OF Mineral Ink.

In ancient times India ink, made
from lampblack and glue, was used
for writing on papyri, but inspection
of the earliest vellum or parchment
MSS. shows that iron gall inks were
introduced not later than the ninth
century. The reason for the change
was that, although a carbon ink is
more permanent, it has no penetrating
power and can be sponged from the
vellum, whereas the iron ink bites in
to the fibers and resists the destruc-
tive action of both air and light.
