Thus far in the conduct OF the Doodle prosecutions
there has been no occasion for complaint Of n lack Of
results TO the fullest extent justified by the evidence
developed through searching and fearless inquiry.
Successive Grand Juries have returned indictments in
every case where the known facts called for indict-
ments. Trial juries have given verdicts Of conviction
based on cOnvicting testimony. There have been no
unnecessary delays in the prosecution of indicted per-
sons. The Circuit Attorney and his assistants have
admirably equipped themselves for the full perform
anee of their duty in these especial prosecutions.
The trial OF Faulkner. the most recent case coming
before n trial court. is being aggressively pushed. The
remaining cases are to come up in rapid succession.
st. Louis has reason to he proud of the record thus
far established in the Doodle prosecutions.

he is a Catholic, there is not a Protestant audience in
st. Louis which would not give him a sincere and
appreciative welcome. Though connected with a Door
parish, he is n leader of Catholic works in this city.
He has shown that he is devoted to the betterment
OF public morals. Father Cofey says that he does
not intend to leave his parish. He ~ntemplat with
joy the prospect of ten years hence. when the $4,000
debt on st. Johns will be paid OF. A wonderful
faith, a persevering will and an energetic courage

WILLIAM AND THE POLISH PERIL.

Lila 49,
According to the cable news Emperor William of
Germany will have an excellent opportunity 10 prove
his worthiness Of the title of War Lord by invading
Poland in person to review the German Army maneu-
vers that are to be held in September on Polish terri
tory.
Many welI-posted persons believe that it viii be as
much as the Kaiser's life is worth TO do this. The
Court Chamberlain, Won MOrawski, Of the Polish
landed gentry. has appealed 10 William not TO set his
foot on Polish soil. Racial feeling against Germany
is so strong. it is urged, that the Emperoris assassina-
ton is almost certain if he persists in his present de-
termination to visit Poland in person.
Wherefore the Ward Lord of the Twentieth Cen
fury now c~onfronts a significant problem. He has al
ways in the past gone anywhere that duty called him.
and his ~soldierly spirit is likely to he reused to the
keenest opposition OF those who seek to disSuade him
from visiting Poland with the argument that it is
dangerous for him TO do so.
Besides. he earnestly wishes TO stand on Polish
territory in making personal announcement of the
Polish policy of his Government. The chances are
that William of Germany will review his troops in
Poland next September. danger or no danger. The
temptation now offered him is probably irresistible to
Il man OF his temper.

Make the Most of Your GInt..

The Reverend Richard Cordley IN Independent
Personality has done wonders. with both heredity and en-
vironment 1t has made moderate gifts accomplish marvel
Gus things. Men with moderate gifts. by patient and per-
sfstent application have put TO shame the splendidly
equipped. who have indolently frittered away their patrf-
mony. Out of the most untoward surroundings men have
found their way to the greandest achievements. The boy
from the log cabin has outstrpped the boy from the palace.
The barefooted boy has outsripped the boy of pampered in
diligence The plodder has oustripped the genius. The
tortoise has passed the hare. Whether a man be richly
endowed or moderately endowed. his success will depend
on the use he makes OF what God has given him.

mission OF his father to 30 rowing in a
boat with a friend.

the boat turned bottom side 70 and the

FRIARS WILL BE

Problem May Be Quietly Settled
Without Any Further
Negotiations.

Rome, August L. According to
statements obtained from reliable
sources IL Is the intention of the Vatican
that the friars Of the Augustinian,
Dominican, Franciscan and Recolleto
orders now in Manila, who number
about 450, should leave there 10 small
numbers at different times, SO tuat
when the moment arrives to resume ne
gotiations between Governor Taft and
the apostolic delegation. all the friars
will have left the archipelago in such q
way that the friar question will have
solved itself without the necessity foi
fnrther discussion.
The foregoing plan Is interpreted %
q late but significant recognition by the
Vatican that Secretary of War Root:
first propositions, made to the Vatican
through Governor Taft, were the most
liberal that could be devised for tn,
Isettlement Of the question.
The great influence of the religion
orders in Rome must be reckoned with
however, should they think IL to thei
interests to resist these measures. From
present indications this would not seen
to be so, as the general Of the Augustin
ians will soon leave for the Unite,
States TO choose American Augustiu
