Volcano Marshall Expounds Glories
OF LAW PRACTISE,
Spanish Law and Spanish Art of Manila
Continuing his series of articles on
Transition Periods," Volcano Mar
shall writes as follows In tho Manila
American of February 2d:
Do you know which or course jou
do not that the more I familiarize and
fraternallzo with the procedures adopt
ed by tho Civil Commission the great
er becomes my admiration of the
work performed by It? ,
I know that tho captious assert In
the market place that the Commission
has enfolded Itself In tho Spanish Hag
and that Its members arc rapidly for
getting the parts or English speech in
tho acquirement of a knowledge of tho
Jargon so universally prevalent In this
land. In my Judgment such cnvll Is
to be deprecated It Is pernicious; It
Is harmful, retarding, as it docs, paclB
cation and conciliation.
In speaking as t have I am actuated
by the sternest Justice Tho proced
ures substantiate and corroborate what
1 acclaim. Ono incident serves as an
Illustration. Tuesday I received a let
heart trouble. That girl becamo mlr
rorcd on his mind. Ho pursued her
not as the villain In tho play, but with
laudablo and honorable Intentions.
They becamo acquainted. Tho ac
quaintanceship advanced, for they ox
changed beetle nut whether at tho
cockpit or at church services this his
torlan Is unable to say, neither is It
of moment. The maiden with the
wealth ot embrowned shoulders' expo
sure, and tho young man with tho
two game cocks became enmeshed In
bonds of love. They were married and
started housekeeping in an unfurnish
ed room with rlco nnd fish attachment.
Now the maiden, unlike 'I tipsy, had
a father. Ho was not consulted nliotit
the marriage, his dignity wns offend
cd It Is strange how some people In
this lire maintain dignity when they
cannot maintain anything else. Tho
father went to a Filipino who wns ac
quainted with the Iniquities of thu so
called Spanish law Tho father did
not want Justice, he wanted reenge
ho overlooked, I wilt mention the
Commission can gtvo lucratlvo cm

perceptibly hastening the time when
15,000 soldiers shall maintain peace In

PEOPLE WHO USE
ELECTRICAL POWER
Arc of course tho best Judges and all pronounce It the most satlsfac
factory power they have ever used. Electricity Is economical, re
liable, so convenient that the motor can be moved to whero tho
work Is done, so cleanly that It can bo used even where the fix
tures aro elegant, and it has no odor. Used for all kinds of machin
ery, from running the coffee mill at the Kona Coffee Store to hoisting
heavy masonry on tho Young building and operating numerous ele

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS
commencing March 1, 1902, I will sell all the stock In my storo
Regardless of Cost
jcrs In the United States; a gentleman
ot International reputation, an ex
member of Congress; an adocato who
has frequently expounded law beforo
tho United States Supremo Court In
cases where vast monetary Interests
and Intricate legal questions were In
volved; n gentleman of Independent
fortune. In tho letter he requested
that I write him alt the truth that I
could ascertain about law) era and law
business In Manila.
In quest of the troth I called on tho
Solicitor General at tho Palace, which
of course Is in Juxtaposition to a cathe
dral and a monument I asked the of-
fllclal what qualifications were neccs
sary for an American lawer, one pos
scsslng a thorough Know ledge of con
stitutional governments, to practice
before that augUBt bod), tho Supreme
Court ot tue 1'hlllpplnes. Ho called
my attention to chapter 2. section 15.
of the regulations adopted by tho Com
mission, which. I suppose, nre dignified
by Borne by tile name of "laws." These
regulations delegate to the Supremo
Court power to examine and pass upon
tho qualifications ot all American law
yers, but explicitly provide that law
yers who hae practiced In Spain or
other Spanish speaking countries shall
not bo subjected to an examination
But wait n moment The Supremo
Court so I nm Informed Is composed
of four Americans and three Filipinos
These Justices for I suppose they
may be termed such without commit
ting an Infraction of the law of libel,
hnvo what Is called an Examining
Hoard. It Is a t Ins-out board It Is
composed. marU jou, of two I'itlplnos
and ono American.
Now, then, before an American law
yer, no matter how great his attain
ments nnd learning In tho law stay be,
ran practice beforo that august tribu
nal tho Supreme Court of the Philip
pines, which Includes In membership
three aborigines he must be tried out
by this board, which Includes a ma
jority membership of aborigines. And
what is tho purport or this trlngout
process? Ostensibly It Is to ascertanl
If tho candidate bo familiar with so-
called Spanish Ian. There are many
who aro so nicked that they cmphatl
cally declare It Is solely for tho pur
pose ot debarring American attorneys
from practicing In the courts ot tho
archipelago. I am not one of these;
and If I am I'm a soused cat In n man
go forest when the bells of tho Walled
City aro proclaiming tho midnight
hour.
What Is Spanish Ian ?
It Is tho law of an absolute monar
chy. It Is tho assailant and enem) of
constitutional goernments.
Spanish law proclaims tho divinity
of tho king It subjugutcs tho masses.
It makes an entangling alliance be
tween church and State It makes of
Ignorance nnd superstition a super
structure upon which class raises Its
Imperious head It Is the foe ot Jus
tice and the weapon of villainy. It is
a playtmng ot Intrigue and conspiracy.
It Ib the bolo oi spoliation and rob
bery. It destro)s Individual enterprise
thwarts Intellectual advancement and
dethrones reason. It Is tho bandit
which wayla)s progress.
Now I don't wish to appear obtru-J
slve, and I trust that I am not, hut I
crave Indulgence In asking ono qucs
tion. Why should an American law
yer bo compelled to tako this examina
tion?
Tho high regard which I have ex
pressed for tho Commission and the
warm encomium I havo paid Its hercu
lean work, makes obligatory my an
swerlng my own question, Tho so call
cd Spanish law, with nil of Its culpa
blllty, which I have enumerated, has
been continued In force by tho Civil
Commission.
Now friends don't embarrass mo by
nBking why tho so called Spanish law
nnd Its enormities were continued In
force nftor American occupation and
by men born under tho folds of tho
Stars and Sttlpcs and reared and edu
catcd In the gieatest and best democ
racy In tho world, for If you do, I shall
be compelled to answer: "Damned It
I know," and If I don't I'm a box of
mustard sardines being sold tor ono
dollar and fifty cents Mex.

The approached Filipino found, on
consulting tho statutes, that a )oung
woman who married without her fath
er's consent could be thrown Into prls

her husbnnd could bo Incarcerated
The case was heard by an American
Judge.
I should like to havo horn that
American Judge I would have dls
missed the case If I had lost my Job;
and If I wouldn't I'm a blind beggar

This Is a true story. It has been

outrageously Indecent that I have re
told It.
You havo a plaza called Plaza do
Cervantes. I know of but one Cer
Nantes in Spanish history, the author
of that great work Don Quixote, n
work which pricked the bubble of
knight crranty In Spain In the dawning
of tho seventeenth century, a work
that will livo when the cathedrals of
Manila, massive In masonry, nro crum

lustre as long as "literature survives

I take It that It Isn't contemplated

Perhaps of my many readers one
may bo found who may question tho
mildness In which I have arraigned tho
so called Spanish law. If thcro be
such let him consult history. On sec
ond thought his labor will be unnoccsv
sary let him consult too dally press
of this town.
Let mo iccall a story. It Is tho
samo themo as old If not older than
Adam, as now Jf not new or than
American plumbing In Manila,
Once upon n time not bo remote ns
to bo forgotten Amei lenns, In a hu
mane cause, invaded a faraway coun
try and established a sort ot mongrel-
fled government It was neither ono
thing or tho otner. hut of tho two It
was largely tho other In that far
away land dwelt a maiden, 18 )oars of
age. Sho was coy and not overly at
tractive, although sho at all times ro
vealed a wealth of embrowned shoul
ders, which was customaty among
maidens in that faraway land. A
young man of somo property for ho
owned two gamecocks snw tne maid
en and was Immediately affected with
Civil Commission I hato to be con
sldcred In tho smallest things forward
and especially in making suggestions.
Tho Commission has furnished mo a
precedent for tho suggestion I am
about to make. It Is found In tho fact
that a commission ot two Filipinos
and ono American passes on the quail
flcatlons of American practitioners ap
pi) lng for admission to tho Manila bar.
My suggestion Is this. Let tho Com
missloners puss an net for a Commls
slon of three members, tho Commls
cion to be known as tho Press Commls
Blon No candidate shall bo eligible to
In a member of this commission un
It ps he is of Filipino extraction and an
expert bolomnn Tho duties of tho
Commission shall be to pass on the.
qualifications of all Anglo Saxon news
la pel men who havo not been attach
ed to Spanish speaking paperB In
Spain or other Spanish countries, can
dldates seeking newspaper work In tho
Philippines to he examined In a coll
It- tho wall surrounding Manila prop
er lho examination to ho most rigor
ous in character, conforming to re-
quimments rnndo by tho threo bolomen
Any unsuccessful candidate who may
make Ills escape from tho cell alive,
In the Interest ot pacification and con
ciliation, shall bo deported.
The salient advantages of such a
commission aro apparent to the veriest
dullard Hut thcro Is one, lest It might
onee by a native driver of a victoria
wearing a Illatm- campaign hat with
a red and yellow cockade The coach
man was shoeless and smoked a cigar
ette Ttnfflc nt this gato Is nearly al-
wa)s congested.
Let us nil blow tho rams horns nnd
let the wnlls, like those ot Jericho,
come down. It Is certainly a most
modest demand.
