PRAYER FOR PEACE.
Circular Letter From Bishop Harklns
Read In the Catholic Charches.

In all the Catholic churches of the
city was read yesterday circular from
Bishop Harkins to the clergy of the
diocese, I'm which the bishop requested
that a prayer for peace be substituted
for the prayer "Ecclesiae tuae." which
had been recited where allowed by the
rubrics. In announcing the change the
bishop asked the clergy to exhort their
people to thank Almighty God for the
manifold blessings He had bestowed
upon the country and upon those who
were engaged i'm warfare I'm it's cause.
Bishop Harkins also requested the
clergy TO pray that an honorable peace
might soon follow the success of the
American arms. Nor should they for
get, he added, TO pray and TO offer the
holy sacrifice for those who had died in
the service of the nation, remembering
that II was on the occasion of Offering
sacrifice for the souls OF those who died
I'm battle that Scripture said: 1T IL n
holy and wholesome thought 10 pray
for the dead"

The kind OF one-man power In mu-
nicipal affairs that the eminent Goo
Goo leaders in this town used to talk
in the paImy days of the movement is
capitally illustrated by the act OF the
selection Of the esteemed Prexy An
drews to be superintendent Of schools
of Chicago.
"Give the Mayor power!" that was
the Goo Goo cry when Mayor McGuin-
ness used to fret because he had
city council, as Cleveland said to Con-
gress. con his hands," and because cer-
tain laws and ordinances handicapped
his activity. "Put the power in one
man, give him the appointment of
boards and commissions and subordi-
mates generally. free the City Hall OF
politics and let the Mayor run it--and
then hold that man responsible!" That
was the Goo Goo propaganda.
Something of this delicious theory OF
municipal government appears to main
tain out in Chicago--though we do not
recall that our Goo Goo friends were in
the habit Of quoting Chicago as a home
of model municipal government. Chi
cago has superintendent OF schools
who is said TO have been successful and
who has had forty years experience in
the conduct of schools OF his city and
county. Mayor Harrison wanted to dis
place him by the appointment Of Prexy
Andrews. The school board elects the
superintendent and the board was not
favorable to the change. But the Mayor
appoints the school board and he
promptly "slid' enough members to
make places for new members favora-
bic 10 Prexy Andrews. There was n
vigorous protest. The Chicago Tribune
declared among other things that II
would take n new superintendent "fuiiy

the necessary knowledge which the
present superintendent has at his COM

an overstatement. sofaras Prexyis con-
But the main point is that arbitrary
powers lie in the Mayor Of Chicago and
he executes them, OF course, regardless
OF everything but his own political pre-.

We make these observations without
designing TO reflect on the capacity for
his new job possessed by Prexy An
drews. of whom we think heap in
some respects. But the point Is that
the Mayor of Chicago bosses things out
there and that his bosship may or may
not be in accordance with the highest
public considerations. According TO
the Goo Goo theory the people Withhold
him responsible" IL he makes mistake
or abuses his authority. But such a
Mayor with such a power is not likely
to lie awake nights worrying over the
day Of reckoning.

rhe study Of the effects OF alcohol on
man seems to have highly practical
demonstration from the great naval
battle or Santiago. ~ zS Y
,"Dutch courage" is the term given TO-
that kind or nerve artincIslly induced
by alcohol. and II appears that upon II
the Spanish officers in cervera's fleet
depended to pull their ships through.
Recent investigation has demonstrat-
ed that alcohol does not increase the
physical strength. even for the limited
period of its operation. 1t has long
been recognized that It is power-
less to contribute. even temporarily, to
clearness of brain. In word, dutch
courage" is almost inevitably blind
courage. The courage inspired by al
cohol has no backing of increased brain
skillfulness or corresponding physical
power. 1t is a nervous, hysterical
energy that is induced, and nothing
more.
In the army and navy OF progressive
countries the "grog ration" when pro-
vided for at all. is limited. we believe,
to times OF peace, and is denied to sail
ors and troops as a contribution to
stiffening and steadying the fighting
force for actual combat. But that 1t is
still factor in Spanish naval organiza-
tion the reports from Santiago offer
testimony. The seamen Of Cervera's
fleet were drunk as the proverbial lords
when they went into action. The liquor
was served to them when they went
to their guns, admittedly to nerve them
for the desperate rush.
The Spanish ships went down. They
were fought with all the desperate
courage that distinguished the demoli-
tion of Montejos fleet at Manila. The
American sailormen and all the world
applauded the courage and marvelled
ships against four. but within twenty
five minutes to fifty-slx minutes the
Spanish feet was torn to pieces. Span
ish courage was admirable. but against
it was equal courage associated with
SURPRISING skill In maneuvering and
superb gunnery. The rapid fire guns of
the Spanish fleet outnumbered those OF
the American fleet three to one, but the
latter were so swiftly loaded and fired
and 80 accurately aimed that they
swept the Spanish sailors from their
guns and destroyed the upperworks OF
the splendid ships.
If 1t was the grog ration that con-
tributed nerve to the Spanish sailors.
it is also pretty clear that 1t was the
grog ration that unnerved their arms
and twisted their vision. Their work
was stagnant and their craftsmanship
wild. Whatever skill they may have
had sober, drunk brain and body
were paraiyzed. Braced to face death.
they were helpless TO Tight for life.
Their chance was as forlorn as would
be that of q lubberly, boozy prize
fighter in the ring against clear
Drained. perfect conditioned pugilist.
or such is ''Dutch courage" mock
cry of that real courage whose integral
parts are GOODNESS Of brain, and muscles
ready to respond to the spirit giving
that confidence to the possessor that,
whether victory or defeat shall come,
the alert mind and body shall have
rendered good account OF themselves
to the limit OF God-given equipment
undefiled. l
