CATHOLIC Columbian: The Catholic
Church is the only force in the world
that offers an effective solution Of the
great social question. It's solution is
based on the principles that God is the
one absolute owner, chat men Of wealth
are olly His stewards. that employers
have q Provid DENTAL mission and duty
to their laborers and that employees
must serve their masters not solely so as
To earn their wages but also SO as to do
the will of God and 10 sanctify their
souls JIG these principles were lived up
to, the question OF capital and labor;
would be solved,

THOSE UROr REPORTS.

The agricultural department. OF the
United States government seems to
spend a great deal Of valuable time IN
preparing crop reports each month
which cannot possibly be correct, and
are therefore misleading. 1t is strang
then the government should maintain
q department that sends all over the
world, misleading statements OF the
crop that is not yet sown. What can be
said of the crop that Is to come? A
great part of it remains to be sown and
vet the United States agricultural de-
partment at Washington continues to
give out as authentic, and which is re
qarded as such by all who know no bet
ter, the number of acres in wheat III
each state, etc: This is very wrong in
deed. IT. is misleading and works a
great Injustice to the farmers Of this
country. The Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce has been wrestling with this
question for some time, and finally took
action Tuesday. They condemned the
.
bat on the contrary injurious and detri
mental to the farming interests. Res
olutlons cOndemning the practise were
passed and forwarded to the Minnesota
senators and representatives at the ma
tional capitol, requesting them to use
their influence in having these reports
stopped. The .Cbamber of Commerce
believes, and rightfully too, that the
proper time to make reports of this
kind is when the crop IS harvested, and
when an annual report based on actual
results should be prepared. The gov
eminent maintains very few things that
are not in themselves more or less use
.fnl, and 1t iss wonder that this bureau
that sends out monthly reports Of crops.
has been allowed to run as long as 1T
has without someone making vigor
Gus kick. 1t Is to be hoped that Mime
sofa senators and congressman will try
and crush out this pernicious practice.

CATHOLIC Mirror: Some Of our I'm.
thinking Protestant brethren are greatly
agItated over the wisconsin Supreme
Court decision ruling against the Bible
in the public schools OF that State. Un-
fortunately for their feelings. there are
no Catholic judges on this bench to
whose judicial Vaccinations this de-
cision can be traced. hequestion was
forced by the Protestants themselves,
and the decision is the decision of non.
Catholic judges.

WHEN the Democrats were at the
head of affairs in Minneapolis ward
work was done by the ward and not by
contractors as now. Laboringmen then
earned $l.5O and SITS day, The con-
tractors will probably pay 81 a day. GER
tainlv not more than SIPS. The money
goes just the same and the contractors
get the profits which are very hand
some. City work can be done cheaper
by the day than by contract. Then
why SO MANY contracts for street grad
ing, etc; LETT Some one is getting rich.

the Milwaukee road are IN a fair way

council will not POSTPONE the agony any
longer. These tracks should go down,
if possible before Mr.. Lowry puts in his

almost impossible. The question how
ever could be decided soon if the proper
authorities would only exert themselves
a little. Now is the time.

For a young division, No. 4 A.. y. n.

and with honor to it's record. With a
cheerful-appearing hall in which to hold
meetings, where al! are content IN do
