MILLEDGE LYCEUM
OPENS WEDNESDAY
Dr. James Hedley Will
Lecture on Sunnyside of
Life.
■Wednesday night Dr. James Hed
ley will open the John Milledge
school lyceum with an address on
"The Sunny Side of Life.” Dr. Hed
ley is one of the mastors of the plat
form, and the message he gives Wed
nesday night should be heard of ev
ery one.
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette says
of Dr. Hedley:
“The Y. M. C. A. lyceum course
was opened last night by Dr. James
Hedley, the dtntinguislied lecturer.
Dr. Hedley is a man of national repu
tation, having delivered some of his
famous lectures over seven hundred
times. His subject last night was
“What Is a Man Worth?” and tlje
speaker held his audience for nearly
two hours with magnetic, power.
Many of his best points were humor
ously illustrated and often brought
storms of applause from the audi
ence, and yet it could not be said
the sole object of the speaker was
td make people laugh. He impress
ed the audience with the fact that he
had something to say and knew how
to say it.”
BUILDING PLATFORM
FOR MR. TAFT’S SPEECH
Fourth Artillery Baud
Will Give Open Air Con
cert Wednesday After
noon.
The platform from which Presi
dent-elect Taft will deliver his open
air address has been erected at the
north-west corner of Jackson and
Broad streets, immediately in front of
the Dyer building.
The rostrum is supported by stout
“Horse-benches” on which is laid a
flooring of two inch planks, and the
whole well braced. ccommodations
are provided for about 40 seats,
which will be occupied by honored
guests of the occasion.
The entertainment committee has
under advisement a plan to retain
the services of the Fourteenth Ar
tillery band, for a concert at the
Hampton Terrace hotel after the
Taft speaking, to which the general
public will be invited, and at which
time an opportunity will be accorded
to view the dining room decorations.
It has not been definitely decided
yet, though, whether this will be
done.
The band arrives at 12:40 o’clock
p. m., Wednesday. Immediately, they
will be escorted to the Oenesta hotel
for luncheon, and at 2 o’clock a con
cert begins on Broad street. The pro
gram continues until 3:30, when the
band adjourns to meet. Judge Taft,
and escort to the rostrum.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
JUDGE TAFT DISCUSSED
CHURCH IN PHILIPPINES
Told of the Obligation We
Were Under in the Far
East and How Difficulties
Were Avoided.
Judge Taft in his speech to the
colored Y. M. C. A. at Tabernacle
Baptist church Sunday afternoon de
voted a considerable part of his re
marks to a discussion of the church
problem in the Philippines. This
part of Judge Taft's address was as
follows:
“When we ment to the Philippines
we found there a government that for
three hundred years under the Span
ish regime had been so united with
the Roman Catholic church that it
was very difficult to separate the
two. Their interests were so inex
tricably mixed up that it was most
difficult to tell what was the church's
function and what was the civil
function of the government. Now un
der the Treaty of Paris, all that which
really belonged to the crown of Spain
in a civil sense passed to the govern
ment of the U. 3., but that which
belongod to the Roman Catholic
church in that union remained with
the ciiurch, and there were present
ed a great many difficulties of the
nicest character, that required all the
acumen of the civilian and the can
ical lawyers to solve the ques
tion wherein that separation this par
ticular interest was to fall and that
particular interest was to fall. Then
in the history of that country the so
called "fralrs”—the monastic orders,
who had three hundred years before
made it a Christian country, for they
arrived just about two or three years
before the Mohammedans. If they
had not, the Islands would have been
Mohammedan. As it was, they found
Mphammedan tracts there when they
went there throe hundred years ago,
but they found people In such condi
tion that they readily accepted the
Christian faith and Christianity
spread over those islands, so that
there are now seven million Christ
ians there and they are largely—al
most wholly—Christians through the
efforts of those monastic orders; and
when I say that I want to emphasize
it by pointing out more than that,
that the Filipinos are the only people
in the Orient, who as a people are
Christians.
OBLIGATION
WE ARE UNDER
"Hence the obligation we are all
under to those monastic orders for
what was done. They went ahead
and educated the people in simple
arts of agriculture, and they exercis
ed over them a guardianship that
kept thqm as Christians for three
hundred years until today. But in the
last one hundred years when the
Spaniards came in more freely in the
islands through the Suez Canal and
even before that, when the natives
themselves began to have ambitions
to become priests, when the question
who was to get the best parishes had
to be decided, and then when the
seeds of republicanism or a more lib
eral government than the Spaniards
offered came on, the power that these
monks in their parishes exerted was
used by the Spanish government as
a sort of police instrumentality for
suppressing what, they regarded as
seditious movements among the peo
ple, and that brought about a condi
tion oi hatred on the part of the peo
ple of these Spanish monastic or
ders whose predecessors for cen
turies had been close friends and al
most fathers of the people.
SPANISH
ORDERS.
In the course of those two or three
hundred years, the Spanish orders
had accumulated by purchase and
otherwise, chiefly by purchase, up
wards of 440,000 acres of the best
lands in the islands, and 250,000 of
those acres were distributed in the
Immediate neighborhood of Manila in
the neighboring provinces where It
was easy to carry the products of the
lands into the markets in Manila.
Those lands were occupied by ten
ants numbering with their families
perhaps 60,000 or more. When Aguin
aldo carried on a government for a
month or two In the Islands, they
called a so-called constitutional con
vention, and one of the things they
did was to nationalize these lands.
That sounds well, but what it means
is that they confiscated them and ap
propriated them to the so-called Fil
ipino government without paying any
thing for them. They were the lands
the title to which was the least dis
puted in the islands. When we went
in there and took possession and or
ganized a government and finally
brought about tranquillity, and estab
lished courts with partly native and
partly American judges, these mon
astic orders under the pledge and
covenant of the Treaty of Paris, if
for no other reason, were able to go
into our courts and say, “Here, we
own these lands; for six years we
have had no rental for them, and we
ask that these tenants be made to
pay this rent or get out.”
We had the courts there. If courts
were to be courts they were entitled
to their rights, and yet It. meant 60,
000 eviction suits. I don’t need to
tell you my friend what that meant
These lands were situated in the Tag
slog provinces generally, where most
of the sedition had crept In In rtpan-
Ish times, and where the resistance to
our government between '9O and '92
was most bitter, and It meant for us
if we allowed this thiag to go on, to
have these courts issue the orders of
OVER II THOUSAND
NEGROES HEARD
UISJAFT
Several Addresses Were
Made by Other Speakers
at the Colored Y. M. C. A.
Meeting.
I
Over a thousand negroes gathered
at the Tabernacle Baptist church
Sunday afternoon to hear the address
of President-elect Taft to the colored
Y. M. C. A. A number in the audi
ence were white people. Mr. Taft
was introduced by Rev. C. T. Walk
er, as the “Most popular and conspie
ious citizen of the United States: Our
uncrowned king, for whom we wish
a successful administration and a
second team.”
Dr. Walker told of the rise of tho
negro, and especially of Ills rise In
Georgia, of the millions of dollars
worth of property owned by the ne
groes in Georgia, and of the work
done by the negro. He told of the
bright past, and the brighter future
now dawning over the race. Ho
spoke of the cordial relations exist
ing between the races In 'his com
munity.
After the speech of Judge Tafl,
Rev. Silas X. Floyd, secretary of tho
colored Y. M. C. A. presented him
eviction which must be issued un
der the titles that they had; it
meant another revolution. It meant
another insurrection. It meant that
we should lose of our soldiers thous
ands of lives and expend millions and
millions of dollars in suppressing an
other insurrection.
Something had to he done. They
recognized the title of the Filipino re
public under this nationalization as
they called it. They would not pay
to the frairs hut they were logically
driven to a recognition of the gov
ernmental ownership of the land, so
the question was therefore whether
if we bought the land for our govern
ment and then made easy terms with
them we could not bring about a
peaceful result. Now in order to do
that, we could not deal with anybody
in the islands. The frairs and the
heads of the frairs were very much
prejudiced on the subject, and then
they said they did not have the au
thority—that the authority was with
the Pope at Rome.
WHAT WERE
WE TO DO
The question was, “What worn we
to do?” The ordinary, plain method,
the American way of doing things
would be to go to the head of the
church. But the trouble was that
that he was the head of the Roman
Catholic church and it was contrary
to our traditions to recognize him as
a world power, and all the other de
nominations might, naturally object
to introducing diplomatic relations
between the United States and the
Roman Catholic church at Rome.
So what, was done? Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr. Root sent for all the lead
ing preachers of all denominations,
and he submitted, not in one confer
ence, but from time to time, these
questions to those ministers, and said,
“Now what would you do? We don’t
want to defeat our administration by
doing something that shall shock the
sense of the Protestant denomina
tions of this country, hut wo bellevf
that if the thing is explained to them
they will understand that this Is the
only thing to do and that it does not
Involve diplomatic relations with a
church, but that it is only a plain
common sense settlement of an or
dinary, real estate transaction with
such accompaniments as the peculiar
circumstances require.
The result of those conferences
was that these ministers said "Go
ahead, we will stand by you, that is
the plain, business way to do things,”
and we went ahead. I went, to Rome
representing the government and had
conferences with the Pope, with the
Cardinals having the authority to deal
with this subject, and then they sent
an Apostolic delegate to the Islands
and for more than a year we were
conducting negotiations and finally
we bought those lands for $7,000,000
paid for in the bonds of the Philip
pine government, and we held off the
law suits until that was done, and
we avoided a revolution arid ail the
disasters which would have followed
a series of 60,000 evictions.
What I say Is this, that forty years
ago In this country that would have
been Impossible, that there would
have arisen among the denomina
tions ari objection to it on the ground
that it was a recognition of the Rom
an Catholic church which was con
trary to our traditions. But today,
under the growing Influence of tole
ration, it was smoothly carried
through, and we took a long step to
ward permanent tranquillity in the
Philippines. I only instance that to
say how something has been at work
to bring about tolerance between the
denominations, to promote the father
hood of God and the common brother
hood of man, and I believe that, the
Young Men’s Christian association
has been as strong an influence in
that direction as any that I know.
