ton. They hoped to finish up the
work of the convention in one session.
The resolutions adopted strongly
lndorse the papal delegates temper
ance views. They state that the
union sees in the recent action of
Bishop Watterson, which has been so
nobly sustained by Mgr Satolli,
long step in the right direction. 1t is
believed that this action will crystal
ize the influence of the church against
the saloon. The decision of the papal
delegate cannot fail to give additional
authority TO the recommendation of
the court of Baltimore, that all Catho-
lie saloonkeepers abandon as soon as
they can the dangerous traffic and
embrace a more becoming way of
making a living.

What Farmers Owe to Indians

The American farmers who first
settled this country learned much
from Indian cultivators OF the soil
There was no corn grown in Europe
until it had been introduced from
America. The Indians had several
varieties. including pop corn and
sweet corn. They had also some ex-
cellent peas and beans. and our best
modern varieties were improvements
on the stock which the Indians sup.
piled. They had also pumpkins.
squashcs and melons. Fish as o
fertilizer was an Indian discovery.
The fish too fat and oily for food
were used as a manure, dropping q

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. so correct
an impression in the minds of former
employees of the Santa tc railroad,
that the company is engaged in black
listing them, one of the officials in the
general managers Office authorizes
this statement:
There is no truth in the report
that this company is blacklisting any
of its former employees who quit on
account of the strike. Neither can we
give clear letters of recomme ndation
to parties whose conduct in that re-
spect was not consistent with their
duty.
No former employe is obliged to
accept letter stating the cause of
his severing his connection with our
service if he does not wish such a let
ter. If he accepts it it is optional for
him to do SO and any Use that he
makes of it is merely his own act.
We do not require or compel him to
take it or use any such letter, but we
will certainly not issue letters mis-
stating the cause OF his leaving the
employ of the company"
