something to the fund. He then announced q
500 subscription from Rev. Father Martin Ma
honey. of the Home of the Good Shepherd Of st.
Paul, and subsequently, introduced the vener-
able priest to the convention. Father Mahoney
made . short speech, in which be said It WAS
the love OF the cause alone that induced him to
attend the convention. There was nothing in
the Prohibition party that the Catholics could
not indorse. He hoped the convention would
do its work in peace, and look to the desires of
the people outside the hall II had been said in
some of the Protestant conferences that the
Catholics must be converted or put down.
That was not the way to talk He would say
first eet tho Catholics to hear you, and that could
not be done by offending in the start He
would admit the Catholics needed to be
evaugelized, and TO learn the duties of pure cit
izsnship. There was one way to reach them.
and that was to help them personally and a.
citizens to oppose drink. In concluding. he said
be hoped the Protestauts would look kindly at
the Catholics and spread tsmperanee light
through the Catholic communities.

California. I hope yous action may insure speedy
victory. To that even. avoid what would divide the
party and keep hun5reds Of thousands from joining

to close the saloon seven days in the week. For this
purpose we organize wisely. Avoid theological. Sab.

A Chicago travelling man, who was too

Surprised to hear it! Yes; most people are

heless. You may also be surprised to learn
hat ca oh one Of them spends on an average
5000 a year. or a total of S240, 900, 900. If you
add to this their salaries, averaging at the
least 81, 900, you have a total expenditure by
commercial travellers of 1920, 900, 600 a year.
This is naturally spent in all parts of the
country, but the hotels and railroads get the
lions share of it. On the other hand, the
travellers enumeration is much better tnan
formerly, salaries of from $4,000 to $4,000
being by no means infrequcnt.
