One of the latest and might
say freshest, argument that has
cropped up in this State against
the retention of the Philippines,
is thatiit is simply a scheme on
the part of the great manufactur-
ers to get cheaper labor. And
this is how they are going about
the matter. They are going to
tear up their manufacturing
plants here and ship them over
to the Philippines and there man
ufacture the goods. 1t takes
skilled workmen to manufacture
any kind of goods properly, but
admitting that it don't, anybody
that knows anything about trade
and economics, will quickly see
the tallacies of the argument.
First, diversified industries and a
division of labor in any country,
increases wages, by creating a
class Of skilled labor and a de-
mand for such labor. And it
takes years of training to make a
skilled laborer. Second, one or
two large factories over in the
Philippines would use up the sur
plus labor and then wages would
go up and then the manufactur-
ers would be in = worse fix than
ever. They would have to face
an increase of wages thousands
Of miles from the supply of raw
Again, to run those
.actories they would have to ship
heir coal and iron and cotton and
WOOL and what not from this
country; they would have to ship
he raw material over to the
launts of barbarism and the fin
shed products back to the mar
tets Of the civilized world, and
he difference in transportation
would more than eat up the diff
erence between the wages in the
philippines and this country. A
ew argument perforce, will have
0 be produced.

WeWere accused last week OF
being an enemy of the Catholic
church. This is unjust. We
are frank to say that nothing that
appeared in our columns can be
construed as a reflection on that
church in any sense. We are an
enemy to no creed or sect. We
wish everyone to have the right
to his or her opinion, and free.
dom to express it. This is in no
sense a religiOuS paper. We are
not backing one creed against
another, one faith against another,
or one prejudice against another
in the religious world. We hope
that all truth will find expression
and be tolerated 40 it deserves.
We are finite creatures with in
finite passions and prejudiceS, and
we are particularly jealous of
them. "Where our treasure is,
there is our heart Also" said Sol
ONION, and most of us have a
large treasury of prejudices, and
the bigger prejudice treasury we
have the more sensitive we are. |
We do not claim to be exempt. |
Possibly we have just as large
stock of prejudiceS in our treasury |
as our neighbor, but cannot see
them 80 clearly. But the great
est enemy to Catholicism in this
community is itself. True, there
was once an A. P. A. organiEa-
hon here, but we believe it hene-
fitted the Catholics more than it
injured them. But it ought to
nave taught the Catholics here a
valuable lesson, namely, Irislnion
s strength and sympathy. Cath.
'lics want to unite, not for politi-
al advantage, but for the pur-
'ose of furthering the interests of /
heir peculiar faith. They ought

We have nearby contempt
rary that's a rRra aVis in a polit :
ical way. When Mr.. Borah
wrote a letter to the Pocatello
Tribune, it said some mean things
about him, and later, it had an in
terview with Mr.. Borah, and the
gentleman said that if the Demo-
Gratis adopted the Chicago plat :
form without change, he would
take the stump for Democracy.
And then Mr.. Borah doomed up
so per cent better in its estima-
ton. AS it's a foregOne conclu.-
sion that Democracy will not
adopt the same platform in 1900
that it did in 1896, that saying of
Borah's seemed like joke and
didn't offer much consolation IN
thGt quarter. It's latest utterance
is a diatribe against the Hon. R.
E. Mcfarland, a prominent
Democratic lawyer of this State,
who has practically came out in
favor of Republication. So, as
we look at the matter, a mans a
good man until he differs with
our contemporary then he be-
comes a shyster and a scoundrel.
Great things are incubated from
the depth of this fertile Contem-
porary'S mind.

Last week the Record tried TO
get out Of the hole in which we
placed it in the matter of the
city'a reform administration. The
Record blamed the reform part of
the administration for the passage
OF those two resolutions that
created no little comment, and
when we clearly showed the
matter up the Record tried to
side-track the matter, by saying
that it said that while the city
had ordinances enough to run a
city of $4,000 people, they were
not enforced. We admit the
Record said something like this,
but the article we answered con-
tanned no such assertion. That
assertion was used in extenuation
OF a certain Offense against the
city, and moi as a call to the bet
ter enforcement of the law. The
Record simply uses a subtertuge,
as can be clearly seen by reference |
to our article of last week. 1t
blamed the reform part of the city
administration unjustly, and has
not the manhood to come out and
frankly admit the mistake.
But taking the argument used
as an evasion we have this to say
in regard 10 it. I. The city has
not sufficient ordinances on its

Mr.. Barrett is entitled to that be-

not a dozen out of the hosts of
soldier boys who left this State

of the Philippines, he simply
shows what a mighty Prevarica-
tor he is, and how much he is to
be relied upon.

regular weekly Sunday school
where the doctrines of the church
can be disseminated, and where
the faithful could regularly at
tend mass, be confessed and en-
joy the blessings of the euchar-
list. And they are keeping other
Catholics from our town because
Catholics won't move into a com
munity where they can't enjoy
church advantages, and their
children be brought up in the dis
cipline and doctrines of the
church. Again the church is a
center that draws all its worship
pers into union and fellowship,
and until there is a connecting tie
that will draw all Catholics to-
gether in this place, and in from
the contiguous country, the Cath
olics here will be enemies to their
own faith and the most forceful
fighters of their own religion.

ALL EYES are turned on the
campaigns that are now being
waged in Ohio and Nebraska, as
the result means much in the Pc
litical world. If the Republicans
are beaten in Ohio it means that
McKinley's popularity is waning,
and that Mclean is the logical
candidate on the Democratic
ticket for president. If the cleo
ton in Nebraska goes to the Re-
publicans, It means the downfall
of Organism in Democracy. In
consequence the campaigns in
these states absorb quite a little
of the public interest.
