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
lberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic

helps of this kind without which their
industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.

We hear little about Senator Raw
Inns in this neck Of the woods, because
he has no newspaper organ and there
is not a genuine Democratic paper
published in the state. BY his politi-
cal antagonists, Rawlins is described
as an icicle and a person lacking in
personal magnetism. In natural
science an icicle would not be selected
as a transmuter Of heat; yet in some
way this senatorial icicle has aroused
the choler of the imperialists all over
the country and compelled the secre-
Iary Of war to reluctantly submit doc
uments, purposely withheld, relating to
crookedness in the Philippines. Sena-
tor Rawlins of Utah and Senator Pat
terson of Colorado have done their
countrymen much service. Through
their efforts the reading public is en-
abled to comprehend the true condition
of affairs in the islands. The minority

esting to note the vigor with which the
democratic organs eXpatiate upon the al
legged atrocities of our officers in the Phil
ippines, while they pass over with indif-
ference the reports by our officers of afro
cities inflicted upon Americans, even mu-
tflating their dead bodies and burning
live soldiers to death by slow fires. The
testimony of Colonel Dickman of the
Twenty sixth volunteer infantry on this
side of the question is interesting.
The fact. however, that the Malayan
element opposing us in the Philippines is
to a great extent scarce emerging from
the influence of ancestral savagery, fur
nishes no Justification for the violation
by our officers and troops of the laws of
war and our own army regulations The
president looks at the matter in that way
and, what ever may be proven against the
insurrectos,, he is not going to let 1t be
possible that the charge of permitted
atrocities in warfare shall have any
ground to stand on, so far as his admins
tration is concerned.
Fairminded men. however, will not for
get that the army is made up of Ameri-
can citizens who have not been bred to
barbarism and that the presumption is
that the officers are humane until the op-
posite is proven.

EXPERT POLITICAL ADVICE

The citizens nonpartizan committee Of
St. Paul purposes to follow the example
Of the municipal reformers Of Chicago.
1t intends to label all the candidates Of
both parties at the approaching election,
with respect to their fitness for office,
from the standpoint of men who desire
that only good and honest men shall be
elected to public office.
The great majority of the voters of any
city really wish to vote for good men who
will make faithful public servants. But
without reliable information and misled
by partizan devotion they frequently vote
for men they really do not want.
But an honest committee or organiza-
ton of some kind can easily find out
whether candidate is the right sort Of
man or not. If his record and character
are such as to indicate that he will be a
good official the committee will say so.
Sometimes it Endorses both candidates for
the same office as personally acceptable. (
In Chicago the public has come to have
so much confidence in this method OF
labelling the good candidates that at the
recent municipal election there out OF
thirty-six aldermanic candidates of both
parties Endorsed by the Reform League,
twenty eight were elected.
The primary election system gives a
particularly favorable field for expert po-
litical advice. During the long personal
campaign for nominations when many
candidates for every Office are before the

The POWER OF INJUNCTION

Some months ago T h ourn a had
eral court in Illinois in granting an in
junction against a labor organization. In
that case, as in others that might be
mentioned, it seemed that sufficient occa-
sion had been afforded to Justify much Of
the complaint made against the employ
ment Of the erof injunction in the set
Element of labor disputes. Certainly! this
power is to be used very carefully, and a
resort to it when the controversy is be-
tween great and powerful organizations.
on the one hand and the great labor Or
CARNATIONS on the other, may easily lead
to it's abuse. Experience proves that.
But here, in the city CT Minneapolis,
this power of the courts has just been
invoked by a poor, defenseless individual,
who has no other means of protection
against a powerful organization. and
fair-minded people must concede that in
such a case as this its exercise may be
necessary to prevent the commission CT
real injustice.
Judge Lochrens action in issuing a
temporary injunction restraining the
cooks union representatives from stand
ing in front Of Wong Guys restaurant and
using every means short of physical force
to deprive the restaurant of patronage is
one of those instances where the power OF
the court is employed to protect the weak
against the strong. 1t appears also to
have been employed carefully and with
due regard to the rights of those re-
strained since they are denied no rights
guaranteed to them by the law. The court
comedies to the representatives of the
union the right to try to dissuade people
from patronizing this restaurant but in.
dicates how in the view Of the court, tina
right may be lawfully exercised.

PHILIPPINE ARMY SCANDALS

The action of Secretary Root, on the
approval of the president, sending in
structions to General Chaffee to have Gen
eral j. H. Smith contaminated immedi-
ately, if he finds foundation for the state
ment of Major Waller during the late
trial at Manila, that Smith gave orders
for the indiscriminate massacre of ma
Gyes, is commendable. The secretary in
cludes in his instructions for court-mar-
tial all the officers who have been named
in connection with the torture of natives

Waller testified that he had shot natives
without trial because he had been ordered
to do so by General Smith, and if 50,
Smith, as we'll as the water cure in

prove the stories of nhumanity if they
can, with a good prospect Of prompt and

tally and inhuman conduct of our troops
toward the natives, will receive proper
attention also.
The administration will no doubt push
the inquiry to the utmost limit. If the

ment or the death penalty would rot be
too severe punishment for the perpetra-
tors. The democratic organs have been

cuTAwAY COATS RETURN
New York Sun.

( q. =
The returning popularity Of the cutaway
coat for men has undoubtedly been helped
along by the tailors. who are aware that in
this garment the dealers in ready -made
clothes cannot compete with them. Moreover,
1t is a pleasant alternative frcrn a frock coat
in warm weather. The cutaway coat ran a
somewhat violent course dozen years ago,
reaching its climax. in a. coat with skirts that
reached at least to the knees. This last dis
torted fashion practically killed it in the esti-
nation of men who give clothes a serious con-
sheraton, and the ,cutaway was put aside
and forgotten. ~
Some Of the men at the horse show q. year
ago who have reputation for dressing well
appeared i'll getaway coats that were evidently
compromises with frock coats. They were
gracefully shaped garments and they have
since become, popular. The frcck coat has
long had a bad reputation in New York dur
ing the summer months but as there were
certain occasions which demanded it, it has
been tolerated. 1T is likely to be superseded
this summer by the long skirted cutaWay.
