operative. The company'S report for December 81.

APOSTOLIC DELEGATE
c0NSECRATE0 AT ROME

Rome. Sept. 22-The conservation to-
dav of Monsigneur Guidi, apostolic
delegate in the Philippines, as arch
bishop. which occurred in the church
of Santa Maria in Aquiro, which is
owned by the Somaschian fathers, his
first instructors, assumed much i'm
portance as it was conducted by Car
dinal Rampolla who, after the pope, is
the highest pontificial parsonage in the
vatican. Cardinal Rampolla was as
sisted by Monsigneur Constant, the
papal atomer, and Monsigneur Gas
pardi. secretary extraordinary to the
commission of cardinals which treated
with Governor Taft of the Philippines
in his negotiations with the vatican
concerning the disposition of the friar
property in the isthmus. The entire
diplomatic corps accredited to the vati-
can. all the generals of the religious
orders and a number of prominent
friars. Monsigneur Maccipi, the new
papal nuncio in Munich, the mayor and
the bishop of Attire, Monsigneur
Guilds birthplace. were present at the
ceremony. The United States was rep
resented by Rev j. P. Farley of Nash
VILE. Tenn, who was recently appoint

EX- GOVERNOR BOIES
ATTACKS THE TRUSTS

Waterloo. Ia. Sept 24-Former Gov
ernor Horace Boies today made public
his letter accepting the Democratic nom
tnation for congress IN the Third district,
now represented by Speaker Henderson.
The Letter is devoted entirely to the trusts
and the tariff. and the only adequate
remedy for the evil with which trusts
are charged is declared to be the removal
of the tariff on trust-made products. He
declares the trust question to be most
important that now agistates the public
mind. The letter saws in part:
The teachings of the Democrats log
icallv lead them to believe that our pro-
tective tariff system has made the or
ganization of these trusts possible and
90 long as it is continued they also be-
lieve it viii furnish a defensive breast
work behind which they can find shelter
from every shaft that could reach vital
part.
THE futilitv of legislation other than
tariff reduction in restraint of such ac-
ton the alleged methods of trusts is
to them demonstrated by the fact that
the great bulk of our trusts have been
openly organized in the face of antitrust
laws carefully prepared and incorporated
into the statutes of the nation and many
of the states

Books and Poisonous Drugs.

Il read any book lay my hands on, .
said a young drug clerk to a customer,
who had found a copy of an atheists
book on the counter and who had
warned him of the character of the
volume.
But are you not afraid of poison
ing your mind?' inquired the Gus
toner.
Not a bit of it," was the reply.
Then no doubt you are not afraid
of poisoning your body, continued
the customer, "and you taste every
drug you lay your hands on
Not on your life!" exclaimed the
clerk.
What" cried the customer, you
are willing to risk poisoning your mind
by destroying it's faith in God, but you
are careful not to poison y0ur body.
But oxalic acid would probably cause
less injury than the reading of that
book The acid would kill the life of
your body, but the book is designed to
kill the life of your soul. Now, take
an old mans advice-don't read every
book that you get hold of any more.
Some of them are sure death to what
is best in man, worse than the sting
of a rattlesnake or a dose of strych
nine. Read good books or none. And
be sure that it would be as sensible to
go along those shelves and take a
glassful Of every drug you have in
the store, as it is to read every book
that you lay your hands on.'-Catholic

"What are we to think of the sever

Heresy is an awful crime against
God. and those who start a heresy are
more guilty than they who are trait
ors to the civil government. If the
state has the right to punish treason
with death, the principle is the same
that comedies to the spiritual authority

its statutes and the enforcement of the
law may never be called for To-Day
| those who are heretics are descendants
of those who long ago left the church.
The strength of the church's arm IS
not directed against them; she desires
only that they may learn the truth
and live. But she was justified in the
strongest proceedings against the or
iginators of heresies; and the spirit OF
the age, and the necessities of the
times. and the conditions of society,
and the duty of advancing civilization

course. Put yourself in that period of

power in it's extremity. Her general

had and she has the right and the
| power to guard her interests and her
| life. An attack on faith is a blow at
her heart. Self-defense implies the
right to take another's life when this
is necessary to preserve ones own life.
Only in such necessity has the church
acted. and she has done only what

between 1890 and 1900 Even the two
exceptions named are more apparent
than real. When the figures for All
IONA and Nevada are probed a curious
statistical anomaly appears. The per-
centage of illiteracy among children
slightly increased for all classes COM
bined, and yet decreased for every nu-
merous race or nativity class, namely
the native white, the foreign born white
and the Indian and Monaghan This
paradox is explained by the fact that
the Indian and Monaghan children are
very generally illiterate, and that those
enumerated in Arizona and Nevada in
1900 was much larger per cent of the
total children than they were in 1890,
when Indians on reservations were not
reported with distinction of age or lit
eracy. On the whole, therefore, the
educational system of every state and
territory, except Indian territory, for
which no figures were obtained in 1890,
has shown marked improvement in the
last ten years.
The widespread improvement in the
efficiency of educational systems is per-
haps best indicated by grouping the
states into classes showing the number
of states in which the percentage of
persons, age 10 to IA, who were able to
read and write fell within specified
limits.
These figures show that in 1890 there
were thirteen states and in 1900 TWEEN
ty-seven states in which the per cent
of children 10 to IA able to read and
write was over SO. These twenty-seven
states in 1900 included g. per cent of
the population. The rapid decrease of
illiteracy among children in many of
the southern states is especially note
worthy. In several the per cent of
children able to read and write in
creased in the decade nearly 10, or an
average of about a year.
