Talk in Dubuque Concerning
the Liquor Traffic.

In a discourse in the cathedral in
Dubuque Archbishop Keane de-
nounced the liquor traffic as one of
the greatest evils of the age. He
said:
II have been told, and was ashamed to
near it, that the liquor traffic controls
me city government of Dubuque. If
tnouGht the people OF Dubuque were in
sympathy with the saloons in their dam
nabie business of destroying mems souls
would send in my resignation to Rome
Immediately and would leave Dubuque
double quick"
He said he was ashamed to see so
many Catholics engaged in this i'm
famous business. 1t was disgrace for
any man to be engaged in it. He made
pathetic appeal to all engaged in this
traffic to abandon it. He said that
when bishop of Richmond, Va, he was
approached by three negroes. one of
whom inquired why, if the Catholic
was the true religion, so many Cath
olics sold liquor to make negroes
drunk. The bishop said he had vet to
hear that question successfully an
swered.

MUST NOT MASQUERADE.
Banks Have No Right to Pose n. state
Institutions Unless They Are
Such in Fact.

In reply to an inquiry sent to him
by Auditor of State Merriam, Attor-
ney General Mullan has transmitted
letter to the banking department.
OF the auditors office, in charge of
Mr.. j. E. Whelan, instructing the
auditor that he has the right under
the statute to proceed against such
banks as may be found to be mas
querading as state banks but which
are, in fact. private institutions. 1t
had been alleged that II bank at
Glidden had been giving itself out to
be a state bank under state protec-
ton and supervision, when, as a mat
ter of fact, it had not been and had
only filed bogus articles of incorpora-
ton. This allegation was called TO
the attention of the attorney general,
and he holds that such action is IL
legal and unauthorized, and the audi
tor of state may proceed against such
institutions. The Glidden bank is said
to be but one of many that are fol-
lowing similar practices in the state.

Their Statesmen to Stop the Prac-
tlce Now in Vogue

More than 100 travelling statesmen
for Sioux City wholesale grocery
houses were called into the city for a
special union meeting to prevent Il
continuation of the rate cutting that
has demoralized the trade in this ter
ritory for some time past.
Little by little the evil has grown;
each salesman had an excuse for cut
ting on this article or the other with
his customers to hold their business:
in time every salesman was doing
more or less of it, and the managers
were watching with wrath the dimin.
ishing profits.
Recently the four big houses in
Sioux City agreed to stop the slashing,
and the meeting was for that purpose.
An understanding was reached to stop
cutting, and the statesmen were in
Structed to obey it,
