Archbishop IrcIan1, The brainiest pre-
late III the Catholic church in America if
not in 'ha World, l~octnrel recently in Bos-
ton. Massachusetts. for the benefit of the
Working Boys Home. While the Arch
bishops great mind seems at times
ambiguous in Character. to a Nolsey, q
Fi"heiiau. or SOM" shades of IL Tallevrant1
rtt such m address rs ne delivered to the
Boz On people, and of late in other parts
OF til: Cnited States Will do much to re-
ccrcil, many in :hrir n~ntagonis!r to his
religions work. In this Boston address
the Archbishop said:
American citizenship is American man
hood. the manhood of all born or adopted
into tae American nation. The crention
OF tha Republic of America VISA the bold
est political set recorded in history. But
l aa afraid that patriotism with some
who profess to be the st%aunchest Ameri-
cans is il practice made subscrvient to
business claims or Il false sentiment of
self-ressect. Among the misfortunes of
America. I must make mention of the
caucus and primary. By these II few men
are able to II impose upon the whole party
thoir owa candidates. Wire-pullers and
slate makers take the place of the people
tho liquor power must be totally elimin-
ated from politics if we respect tho ins.i-
futions "f American democracy and desire
their p~ermanance. Tho aims of the saloon
are selfish, its methods are Shiny and
criminal. The work Of the patriot is SO
70 elevate with this whole people the stand
ard OF citizenship that one shall permit
ma ligh agencies to influence to influence
them iii the exercise of their franchises.
I'm migration must be restricted so as to
exclude criminals and paupcrs. Nor
should immigrants in any State in the
Union be pre,aaturely authorized to vote.
A due respect for American citizenship
guards against a reckless extension OF it
to men coming to US from other lands
No encouragement must be given to social
or political organizations and methods
which pcrpretrate in this country foreign
ideas or customs. An Irish-Americar, q
GerAoan-American or French-American
vote is an intolerable anomaly"

1t is hoped the good citizens of Oliver
and Mercer will lend a hand in the forms-
ton OF Gun Clubs Or game protective
associations and save from total extermi-
alton the remnant of deer scattered along
the timbered points of the Missouri.
In winter these animals frequently cross
the ice Of the frozen river, and remain
in the points least hunted. With a little
friendly cooperation, the new game law
properly enforced against wanton des-
truetion, the deer in these natural haunts.
will remain with us for a long number of
years to come. Let us act together.
