seems a true student of history, and
he Independent agrees with him that
the "attentive reader of this volume
will have little difficulty in under
standing the essential features of the
Jhillppine friar problem. There is
really nothing new in the conflict be
tween the Filipinos and the Spanish
monks, except the parties to the strife.
Ms the same old play with new ac
tors and different scenery.'"
The author, commenting upon the
fact that there has never been abso-
ute unanimity of opinion respecting
the character and utility of the monks,
calls attention to the fact that "cor
ruption, more or less grievous and
widespread, has stained the annals of
every, monastic order known to his
tory;" but that "indiscriminate abuse
and wholesale condemnation of the
monks has never been warranted in
any era of monastic history," because
of the immense amount of good they
have accomplished. In the Philip
pines "what progress has been made
3 due almost wholly to the labors of
the friars." Arriving at the Islands In
the sixteenth century, the monks
Eound some of the people wholly sav
age; others semi-barbarous; all of
them pagans, idolaters, sunk in the
densest darkness of superstition, slav
ery, and vice. "Today," says Mr. Wis
hart,. "barbarism ha3 practically dis
appeared and slavery has been abol
ished, except In Mindanao, Basilan,
Sulu, Palawan and ' the smaller isl
ands adjacent to them, all of which
are Inhabited chiefly by Mohammed
ans and heathen tribes." Six and a
half million adherents of the Catholic
church attest the monks' good work.
But the Catholic Filipinos them
selves object to the return of the land-
holding friars (who fled when the re
bellion against Spain began). The
reasons for this are neatly summed
up by the author in his closing para
graph: ' "
As was said at the beginning of this
note, it is the same old story of the
mournful circle. The piety and sac
rifice of the early monks gave them a
strong grip upon the affections of the
people. Then came lavish gifts for
the benefit of the 'givers' soul, and to
be used in the prosecution of the
monks' noble work. But with wealth
and power came vice and tyranny.
Unman nature Is much the same. the
world over, and always has been. The
friars could not stand where so many
of their brethren In other lands have
fallen. Prosperity corrupted their
morals and political pdwer trans
formed them into agencies of oppres
sion."

ISAAC HIGH.
Janesville, la. - t
r (What with Henry George and Karl
Marx Editions, the Denver conference,
4'01d Guard" Edition, and a state cam
paign upon us, the editors of The In
dependent have had a busy summer,
and in many instances have been un
able to gather up the loose, ends of
every controversy which has : arisen
over economic terms. Hr. .High's let
ter was written long ago, but his quer
ies are as pertinent now as ever.
If "intrinsic value" Is really the
same as "utility," then good rhetoric
demands that the shorter term be used.
Utility is capability of being used. Jf
no one desires to take advantage of
that capability,-that does not change
theJfaj$thaMt exists. -C&jbllltytorJ
qtIa!ItIeth'!lnhethfnlttselfcu,
pied with accessability. But those
qualities are not "value," neither does
value depend upon them. "Value" Is
simply human estimation, appraisal,
or "valuation" of the Quantity of the
brce of demand acting upon a given
commodity at a given time and place.
he force of demand arises through
the competitive struggle among men to
secure by. exchange the possession of
services or commodities which may be
utilized by the possessor for. his oyn
enjoyment or benefit; but it has ncri-
ng whatever to do with the amount of
human energy expended In overcomina:
the adverse conditions of nature this
results in the production of things
possessing utility (to a greater or less
degree).
We all bow to Webster as an "au
thority" on the meaning of words
generally but has all progress ceased
since the death of this noted man?

INTRINSIC VALUE.
Editor Independent: Once more I'l
trouble you, called out by your marked
copy. In your reply you failed to an
swer my question. "What did Captain
Ashby demolish?" You were frank
enough to admit my definition. My
object wns and Is to get pple to
think right, (lire them a rorrect Idea
of the meaning of "Intrinsic value
which will he In use whn yon ant'
your modern economists have reai'
or filled to demolish Webster, who
say. "Intrinsic tnlu" Is thi nme ni
utility. I feel In koo1 company with
h eminent authority!
How to Prpsper
Editor, Independent: Those of your
readers who are continually ompTain-
ng or nard times should take a les
son from Patrick Mahaney of Derby,
uonn. jjy tne exercise of thrift and
rugality Mr, Mahaney has saved
enough to enable him to live without
working. His method Is so simple
and easily followed that no one has
any excuse for complaining of -hard
times. . Mr. Mahaney has worked as
a farm hand for thirty-two years. He
nas always received board from his
employers, and clothed himself in
their cast-off garments. His expendi
tures for the thirty-two years
amounted to $44.90, an average of less
than 12 cents a "nonth, which we are
reliably informed was spent "princi
pally for newspapers." The result of
his strict attention to the virtues of
saving which are inculcated by our
eading, newspapers is seen in the $5,
200 with which Mr. Mahaney joins the
ranks of the Morgans, Rockefellers
and others whose thrift and industry
ajso enables them to live without
working unless they choose to con
tinue to work other peonle as a pas
time. A. C. PLEYDELL.

Philadelphia, which Is far more cor
rupt than New York ever was, with
perhaps the exception of the Tweed
regime, is never held up before the
public as a terrible example. The po
lice are just as corrupt, they levy just
as much blackmail, the red light dis
trict is of the same character and
run in the same way that the "tender
loin" Is in New York. Besides that
there is ten times as much corruption
