and every man of whom has shared
literally in the increase of national
wealth which, has followed the restora-
ton of the very policy which the speak

army of Wage-earners of all occupa-

four years of Democratic domination.
Certainly not the great body of farm

increased values oS agricultural prod

What ears, then, did this possible
Presidential candidate expect to reach
with his diatribe? The ears, 1t may
be presumed, of the average Bourbon
politician who always recognizes the
denunciation of protective tariff as
sure sign Of sublime craftsmanship.
These he may reacl., but not the ears
Of prosperous and contented people.
All such viii smile a plying smile at
the foolish mouthings Of typical
Tammanyite trying to tickle the fancy
of the fellows who boss caucuses and
control conventions.
Just as matter of contrast let us
quote what Thomas Jefferson wrote in
1909 in . letter to Humphrey:
Ny own idea is that we should encour-
age home manufactures to the extent of
our own consumption of everything of
which we raise the raw ma terials.
Had Thongs jefferson lived in these
days Of trade expansion and of Ameri-
can victories In the contest for posses

point with pride to what he wrote nine
ty years ago and urge adherence to a
policy that had wrought such splendid
results. But, then, Thpmas Jefferson

WHO AND WHAT HARTMAN IS

The Intermountain Catholic made
reference last week to the Rev. Mr..
Hartman, and an article from his pen,
which appeared in the Independent.
Our readers will recall that this gen

in a 'semi-offlcial capacity" and had a
quasi connection with the army"
1t has been our good fortune since
our last issue to have had visit with
our old friend Father McKinnon, the
distinguished army chaplain, who has
had superior opportunities to under
stand the real situation in Luzon. From
him we have learned what we strongly

NOT so WITH CATHOLIC PRIESTS

The latest dispatches from Washing
ton tells us that many of the army
chaplains detailed last week for SER
vice in the Philippines have been ex-
erting themselves extraordinarily in OBJ
tanning a revocation of orders. The
newly appointed seem to look with dis
favor upon foreign service. The Off
Gals of the war department express no
surprise at this apparent unwillingness
to serve the Lord except in a comfort
able and pleasant way, for as they OBJ
serve the truly anxious chaplains for
service in Manila volunteered early and
have been on duty steadily since the
opening of the spring campaign.
OF the ten selected to report to Cen
eral Otis, not one has reported for duty
in the Philippines-being on leave.
waiting or detached service. In two
cases, Chaplains o. j. Nave and Sewell
N Pitchard, through personal and po-
litical appeals to the military authori-
ties, have succeeded in obtaining a re-
vocation of orders, while another-John
S. Seibold-has secured a delay in his
departure until the communications of
some influential friend shall be sub
mitted to the war department. All this
is precisely as we have pointed out
heretofore. 1t is the money and the
honor of the office which the average
chaplain covets, and now at the first
opportunity that offers for doing a lit
tie good he would sneak away from his
duty for the sole reason that it is on
erous and therefore irksome to him.
The two or three Catholic priests do
ing duty in the Philippines have not
sought reasons to shirk their duty sim
ply because it was arduous, but have
cheerfully and courageously performed
their priestly offices-ministering alike
to well and wounded in camp and field
There are many of their American CO.
who would gladly and most
accept similar positions with
our troops. Various requests have been
made from time to time by Catholic |
speakers and editors that more Cath |

ically unheeded. We venture to sug- /

respectfully represent to your Excel
| lency, that in the appointment of CHAP
| lains to the Army and Navy of the
Union an injury and injustice is done
| to their co-re1igionists In those
branches of the public service, Wnlcn
they beg to bring to the atten lt I,a,i Of
| your EXcellency, in the confident pelleI
that You will appreciate the evil anu
apply the remedy.
Provision is made by statute for the
appointment of thirty-fOur ChaplalnS IN
the Army and twenty-four in the Navy
the nominations to be made by the
President and confirmed by the Senate
Now, your petitioners respectfully
show that, while the Roman Cathohc
soldiers and sailors are largely in eN-
cess of those of any other denomlna-
ton. and are believed to be at least :"
per cent of all the service processing
any belief. there is but one Roman
Catholic chaplain in the Army, ana
none so far as we are informed, in the
Navy.
The Injustice of this would seem to
be too apparent to need argument. But
your petitioners further most respect
fully urge that the magnitude OF the
evil is not measured by this inequality
conspicuous as it Island can only De
appreciated when your EXcellency con-
siderS the far greater consequence at
by our Protestant fellow citizens, to
the ministry of a clergyman of their
own creed. To the Catholic nothing
can substitute or supplement his
Priest; and he attaches to his ministra-
tions. especially in sickness and in
preparation for peril or death. value
for which there is not only no edu'va-
lent, but no approximation in the rela-
ton Of Protestant to his minister.
For these reasons, we earnestly en-
treat your EXcellency to give this
prayer your early and favorable con-
sideration; satisfied, as we are, that
the inequality of the present arrange
ment must be conceded, and not doubt
ing that YOU will not only be ready to
appreciate it. but disposed to remove
it as speedily as possible, consistent
with your duty.
Hence, considering all the circum-
stances in the appointments of chap
lains, we submit that the best service |
which American Catholics can render |
to Catholics in the Army and Navy is |
to demand that the government refuse |
to make provision for the payment OF
any chaplain.
