Not Doing Its Work Well.

Our public school system is be-
fore the people, it promises to eiu-
cate our children, and as they grow
to be men and women, we realize
that our children were really taught
the rudiments Of an education which
makes it possible for them to live
useful, helpful lives.
The church is in our midst. Its
mission is to teach men and women
the way of righteousness and right
living. 1t is not TO save people, as
some think and believe-no man is
saved by any other than Christ on
Calvary-but Christ established the
church to be as it we're a school to
the people in spiritual things. |,

Bishop Chatard is wonderfully
kind and charitable. This story Is
related OF him, that some years ago,
when the trenches for the natural
gas lnains We're being laid through
the streets Of Indianapolis, the
contractor brought to this CITY a
large number Of Italians to do the
work. Oae day the bishop walking
along one of the streets where the
labor was under way, and the men
were seated on the curbstone eating
their humble lunches, he walked in
among them to one big burly fellow
and said in the melifuent language
Of his native land: "How fare
you, friend?" Every toiler in the
group dropped his bucket, sprang to
his feet and closed in about the
mild and self possessed bishop.
Each asked to shake his hand. He
talked in the kindest manner to
them, told them who be was, and
offered to assist them in any way
in his power should they require his
assistance. They thanked him
over and over again, and with un-
covered heads stood aside as he
babe them cheerful .good day"
and passed down the street.
The other members OF Bishop
Chatard's family are his brothers,
DR.. Ferdinand Chatard, OF Balti-
more. and Thomas Chatard, an en-
inent chemist, for many years con-
nected in an executive way with
the United States coast survey at
washington, ana his sister Jullana,
who has long been sister Of char
ity at the convent al Emmettsburg.
His father died at Baltimore in 1887
at the advanced age Of eighty-five.
The laws of the catholic church
give to the bishop, when his death
he anticipates, the authority to APP
point temporary administrator,
who shall take charge of the govern
ment OF the diocese. Should Bish-
op Chatard death occur, and it be
found that he has not made such
an appoint ment, { en- the Office will
be temporarily filled by the arch
bishop Of Cincinnati, and his ap-
pointment will continue in force
until bishop is selected at Rome.

There is no fellowship between

The saloon is the devils organi-

This is a big country, but not big

Some men are more afraid of a
union of churches and state than
they are of a union of saloons and
state.
Both the saloon and church are
after our young people. Which Is
getting the largest number?
Half of the male church members
pay more into the saloons than they
do into the churches.
Should druggist who sells whis
XIV by the drink be allowed to keep
his name on the church roll any
more than the saloon keeper?
If the church has any business or
earth, in this age, il is to destroy
the saloon. See John 2'S.
Nor only did the army saloon
(canteen) lead many of the soldier
boys astray, but it also led some OF
the chaplains to become drunkards-
Stand by the church, for the
church will stand after every legal
lied saloon is wiped off the face OF

Stand by the church, but make
it a warm place for the members
till they cease to vote with saloon

The saloon keepers pledge the
for the legislature to
stand by the liquor traffic, and then
the majority of the male members
Of the church vote for those candl-
dates.
Some Of the churches are COM
planning that their annual increase
Of membership is falling. Yes, and
this complaint will increase into a
bitter wall, unless the church ceases
to throw its strong arm of protect
ion around its arch enemy the sa-
loon.
1t is becoming a serious question
with a large number Of devoted
church members, whether they
should support license preacher
any more than they should support
a license political party.
One more war and then we will
be ready for continued peace and
prosperity. And that war is the
war between the church and salooa.
Take sides brother.
The church and saloon will both
enter Cuba and Porto Rico, under
equal protection of our government.
One will save mems souls and build
noble Christian characters; while
the other will make men paupers
and criminals, and destroy their
souls in hell.
Stand by our brave Prohibition
preachers. My judgement, after
studying list of 5000 signatures
Of voters who signed our state pc

LETTER FROM ROOSEVELT.

"Gen. Nelson A. Miles, War De-
partment, Washington, ID. C..
my Dear Gen. Miles, do not
distinctly understand this beef con-
troversy, but possibly what l have
to write may be of some use. The
canned corn beef we found to be
good. The so-called canned roast
beef that was Issued to us fer travel
rations, both on the transport and
on the train, and which we got oc-
casionally even at the front, was
practically worthless. Unless very
hungry the men would not touch it,
and even when suffering from lack
of food they never ate a fifth of it.
AT the best it was tasteless; at the
worst it was nauseating. There was
also a supply Of beef Tin the shape
of quarters) which was put aboard
our transport at Tampa. Ii was
to be fitted by some pro-
cess TO withstand the heat. 1t at
once became putrid and smelled so
that we had TO dispose of it for fear
Of its creating disease. ] think we
threw it overheard. At any rate il
was condemned. The beef we got
in Santiago after about the 24th or
18th OF July-that is, after the siege
had ended, and when my brigade
had been without fresh meat or
vegetables for month-was gener
ally good. BY this time the caval-
ry division was in sicSly condition.
The fact that the meat ration was
so bad as to be inedible caused very
great hardships to my men, and re-
duced its supply Of food below what
was necessary to keep them in prop
er condition. Yours truly,

In accordance with an old estab-

this board this evening to celebrate our
anniversary and, although we have
suffered considerably and, In fact more
than any other of our sister societies
in years past, we can look forward into
bright future. Although we lost every
thing of value we possessed in the Day
building fire, our membership never
suffered and at the present day we
have $50 members on our rolls. Sixteen
years ago a small band of temperance
men formed themselves into this socie-
ty, and as l look around the hall this
evening, it is with pleasure that 1 note
eight of the old timers are with US this
evening.
There are also with us this evening
several Of the first members who. al
though owing to other cares have been
obliged to relinquish their membership.
they are still loyal to their pledge, and
no one can probably realize the great
amount of good that the small band
which formed themselves into this so
ciety has done.
ITO you. Father Tuite, our pastor,
extend tonight on your first visit to
our rooms, a hearty welcome and you
have taken the place of one who was
dear friend and good adviser to us
all. To you, invited guests, we also ex-
tend hearty welcome. In looking over
men who are now members of this So
ciety you can find them in all walks of
life They have followed the stars and
stripes. and even at the present day
we can point with pride to our mem
bers who are in the Philippines, up
holding their countrys honor, and OF
that we are justly proud. AS the first
