COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH

In every state that raises cotton there are now
mills to handle it. Georgia and Alabama and Tex

capital of their own. South Carolina has nearly
$50 mills Spartanburg in that state, town of
10000 inhabitants, which with confident prophecy

TT WAS a one-sided response to the
presidents entreaty for arbitration
of the great strike. The coal road
presidents refused to recognize any
rights of the miners as an organized
body, and disdainfully put arbitration
out of the question. On the other hand,
the president of the miners union was
responsive to the appeal of the pres
ident, and agreed to submit to any
agreement to end the conflict and re-
sumo work, which a board appointed
by the president shoI&l stipulate. Thus
president called the meeting. Thus

A gatifying dispatch from New Or
leans told last week of the Indictment
of twenty-five white men by the grand
jury of Attala county, Mississippi, for
the recent lynching of two negroes.
The story is that the negroes, being
suspected of making insulting remarks
about some white men, were chained
to a tree by a mob of white men and
shot to death. That it turned out aft
erward that they were innocent of the
Injurious remarks attributed to them
doesn't seem to have much bearing on
the case, but has apparently had an
effect on local public sentiment. Judge
Stevens instructed the grand jury to
indict the lynchers, and the grand jury
did indict twenty-five of them, ito the
delight the dispatch says, "of the
judge and almost the entire commune
ty." The trials are still to come, and
will be watched for with great interest
If the population of Attala county real
ly believes it is wrong to murder ne
groes, an unusual opportunity is of
fered for the effective exposition of its
sentiments.

The Only Battlefield.

A HITHERTO unsupported corol-
n larry of NJ. Bloch's doctrine, that
the improvement OF weapons will
render land war upon great scale
practically impossible, is dwelt upon
by Commander G. A. Ballard, F. N,
in the Journal of the Royal United
Service Institution for August. Every
campaign, excepting those which are
waged by overwhelming numbers
against comparatively few resolute
combatants, will result in stalemate.
Granting that this is, says Com
mander Ballard, what follows? All
future wars will be fought out at sea.
Military men have brought their art
or profession to such a pitch of per-
lection that, given forces of compar-
ative equality, it is impossible to do
more than bring matters to a dead
lock- Therefore the deciding battles of
the future will be fought out on the
sea, where it is only too easy to fight
to a finish. Commander Ballard thus
summarizes his own conclusions:
Firstly, if his ideas prove to be
wholly correct and hostile operations
between equally matched armies reach
at length condition of deadlock, the
influence of sea power as an alterna-
tive force in the mutual relations of
states will become not only greater,
but paramount. Secondly, if his ideas
are only correct in a modified form,
the reluctance to face the sufferings
poets of ultimate success, will still
heighten the advantages to be derived
from resort to the alternative, although
in a corresI bndingly modified form. In

maintains her maritime strength I'M

may seem, ID NJ. de Bloch were even

influence on European politics, al

power, will be enhanced rather than

ture will be toward the development
of the sea power of other countries

sacrifices when necessary, or this in

THE WORK OF THE FRIARS.
Chicago Tribune.)

The discussion of the Philippine friar
| question in the press has been con-
| fined to great extent to the coS-
sidera ton of the evils of their pres
/ ence in the archipelago. In the cur
rent number OF the North American
| Review Mr.. Stephen Bonsal. who 1as
! seen good deal of the Philippines,
presents the friars' side of the case.
Mr.. Bonsa1 is a broad minded Cath
Ole, and, although he does not urge
the retention of the friars in the archi-
| pelago, he sets forth clearly the work
| they have done for civilization.
| In the first place, such civilization
as there is in the Philippine was
brought there by the friars. 1t is
| due to them that there are six or
! seven million Christians out of q pop
ulation of eight or ten millions. They
| designed the bridges, laid down the
roads, established the schools and
founded the towns which had led the
Filipinos as far as they have come
on the road to civilization. They were
| the religious, commercial and political
guardians of the people. Don Jose de
| la Gandara, once captain general of
! the Philippines, said of them:
THE members of the religious orders
are the most efficient and powerful in
struments of government at the dis
posal of the. governor general in or
binary times and at all times In the
| day of danger and emergency they are
absolutely Indispensable. Government
would be impossible were it not for
the friars. Their influence is great
because of the reverence which their
sacred office inspires, because their
residence is permanent, and because
they are thoroughly acquainted with
the languages, the customs and the
history Of the people they seek to up
lift. Today it may be said without
eXaggeration that the government Of
the Philippines without the friars would
be an impossibility."
Later Primo de Rivera, who has
been regarded as no friend of the
religious, reported to his successor as
follows:
Il do not believe the friars can, be
replaced. 1t is true that among them
are vicious men who commit abuses,
but these individuals are exceptional,
and 1 believe the evils of the system
can be remedied without going to ex-
IRENE measures. It is certain that
the immense majority of the friars are
good men, worthy of every considera-
ton, deserving OF much praise"
In so far as he goes Mr. Bonsal IS
just. But he does not go far enough.
The friars took, lands so that they
might teach the people agriculture.
Quite naturally they kept them. Those
lands are in the most thickly pOpu-
lated part of L1zon, and it is on them
or near them that all Instructions
have begun. Rightly or wrongly, the
people hate the friars because they
owned the great estates and because
they were the instruments Of the Span
ish government. It is for this reason
that the field in which they once
worked well is closed to them. ut is
expected that they should suffer for
the good of the people,

HEBREW AND HBERNIAN.

Tammany has apparently the kind
of leader it requires in Charles Muir
ply, whose history is remarkable. The
son of a poor Irish laborer who did
work up to his 8Sth year, he evoluted
from a ship caulker to a street car
driver, to saloonkeeper, and then to a
lucrative political office, gaining in the
course of about thirteen years $1,000
600. He is, however, kind-hearted,
charitable, brave and a born leader. He
has the executive faculty which is pro-
nounced to be rarer than genius. He is
sympathetic for the poor and has
raised his family along with himself
and one of his nephews, whom he
adopted, will graduate at West Point
this year. He will probably found an
aristocratic family, like the Vanderbilts
and Astors, whose beginning were just
as humble. He is sober, has no vices
and goes to mass on Sundays. Had his
father remained in Ireland this son
would probably have never risen much
above the glebe. If New York is the
Jews opportunity, it's also that of the
Irishman, and 1 am told that though
the Hebrews are crowding the Hiber-
mans from some of their strongholds,
the successful Israelites, the rich mer-
chants, who abound on Broadway, are
taking bright Irishmen into partner
ship. Signs over the big stores show
that this is not now uncommon. Not
long ago a cartoon represented man
with a telescope looking at the sign
of one American firm amid a thousand
Jewish ones, but while American
names may still be in the vocative,
Irish ones are growing more and more
frequently coupled with those of COM
mercial IsraeL.-Randall in Catholic

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that Religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his Income support them with
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which their
industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.
