All Quiet I'm MindanaO!
"Pr0perty and Life There are
Respected and Secure"

T HE New York SIM, of Tuesday, January
2nd, contained an editorial which told of
a little war that we have been conducting
against Filipino bandits, outlaws, robbers,
thugs cutthroats, insurrectos, rebels, brigands,
and revolutlOnlsts.
The Suns editorial informs us that our SOL
diers have been engaged in this distant strug-
gle for nearly year. Prodigies of valor on
our part have been performed, of course; and
the honor of the Flag has been upheld and en-
HANGED in truly spread-eagle manner.
The Suns editorial assures YOU and me that
the war is now over.
The remote Philippine Island is now quiet;
the rebellion has been Krag -JorgensOnned into
submission; and the revolutlOnists that are
still alive have ceased to peruse our great and
glorious Declaration of independence.
Government in the Philippines now re-
sembles closely the government of Russia,
Prussia, China, Japan, Hindustan. Turkey,
and the United States: it rests entirely on the
consent of the governed.
The governed consent, because they don't
know, as vet, what else to do.
When we see diSSenterS ''cvilized with
Krag," most of us readily become c0nSeHter$.
Tyranny is bad but bullets in the bread
basket, are worse; hence, all government, right
now, IS resting the consent of the gov
erned.
This consent eloquently expresses our dis
inclination to premature and informal inter-
ment.
In the SIMS highly interesting editorial,
find the following words of comfort
"Central Mindanao is at peace, and
property and life there are respected and Sc
cure"
Whose life and whose property?
In New York, where the Sun IS published,
100 human beings were run over and killed
last year by automobiles and motor trucks,
The Battle of Manassas did not cost more.
There was murder for every day in the
year, and robbery for every night
Were the Mindanao outlaws doing worse
than that?
During the year, at least $4,000 young white
women were inveigled or drugged, or kid
mapped into life whose darkness knows no
dawn; and $4,000 parents were left with
wounds that do not heal.
Were the Mindanao bandits more daboli-
cally destructive?
The daily papers regale us-and have been
at it for week-with accounts of the bru-
taIities practised in the name of the Law,
upon a helpless woman in New York. TO
punish her for ha0ing advocated "bifh con-
troll"
Did they torture women, in Mlndanao, for
publicly preaching distasteful opinions?
The Catholic Potentate who presides over
the Juvenile Court in Washington City,
sentenced a Protestant boy to seven years
servitude, in a papal hell-hole, for destroying

Or, did he have color of title? and if so,
how long did he hold the land under it?
a. How was the equity of redemption

law?
If so, the prior quit-claim made by the Ma

the subsequent quit-claim made to De Equiv

The Manila Co. could not sell more than
it owned and, until the period of redemption
passed. they could only sell subject to posi-
bic redemption.
The monks were legally charged ecith notice
of that fact.
Really, this transaction doesn't look good
to me.
Tt looks very much like case which the

title by prescription--as seems to have been

The presumption is, that the Manila Co.
would not have made two deeds to the same
land, if it had not had to acknowledge De
Equivelley's right to redeem.
Another DrpS1JmDtiOn is that as DR. Which,

Therefore, I am much inclined to believe
that the monks gained an unrighteous victory,

It would be interesting to know why DR..
Wichers neglected this land; and why he quit

omits other material facts.

But the State of Florida conveyed the land
IN 1912, to The Manila Investment Co.
This was public sale for taxes, the amount
past due being $298.02
A question right there is this
Ii Wichers had not sold the land to some
body, why wasn't he paying taxes on it?
Why was the land sold as De Equiveley's?
The Manila Co. quit-claimed to the monks,
for $40, fled in Sept, 1915
But the same Company quit claimed to De
Equiyelley IN Augotst Of the same year, for
$1O0
In Sept. 1915, Wichers signed deed in
Germany conveying the same land to the
monks for $500
Now here is queer kettle Of fish, to be
sure
On the face of the deeds, Wichers appears
to have paid his tenant-in-c0mmon, 81 100 for
a two-thrds interest in 1898
The whole tract, then, must have been
valued at nearly 1900
In fact, Brand sold his 2-3 for that sum-
in 1895,
Nevertheless, Dr. Wicher5 does not give it
in for taxes, and it goes to sale in 1912, for
the unpaid taxes Of 1908

Apparently, he hGd let the land pass en-

The cunning monks jumped in, and paid
forty dollars for quit-claim from the Ma

but Abbot Charles does not allege that any
money passed.
And it seems strange that man who had
paid $1100 for 2-3 interest in 1898 should
sell the whole thing for $500, seventeen gears
