in taking part in any game OF chahce.
Many of the persons who have eX-
pressed dfsapproval of Nj. Schwabs
taking part in game of chance may
admit that. but these very persons
wish that Mr. Schwab had said with
st. Paul: -AlI things are lawful for
me. but all things edify not, and hence
had refused to make any bets at Monte
Carlo. The Chicago Tribune rightly
says there is nothing edifying to the
Catholic or the Protestant. business
man in the spectacle of the head of
great enterprise in common gaming
house. Even if it be admitted that
the to-do which has been made over
Mr.. Schwab's play is only an outcrop-
ping of that latent Puritanism that
wants TO make the straight and narrow
way a good deal straighter and mar
rover than it is, still it was not ex
pedient for Mr.. Schwab TO challenge
that latent Puritanism by doing
something he might just as wen have
refrained from doing. There still is in
the United States d >Ueat deal of what
the Catholic Observer calls Latent
Puritanism," ana it is force which
has to be reckoned with occasionally.
Mr. Schwab showed mis- respect for it
when he cabled home a public denial
taat he had been engaged in "sensa-
tional gambling.

Let Us Deal Fair With Cuba.

An HONEST MAN is the noblest
II work of God. The golden rule
applies to nations as well as to
individuals. No country can safely
violate the rules of honesty and fair
dealing without coming to grief. Soon
er or later punishment overtakes that
nation.
The question of our relations with
Cuba and the promises held out to its
people is matter that should be ex-
cluded from the domain of partisan
politics. These promises were binding
and their fulfllment on our part be
comes the duty of every honest Ameri-
can through the channel of congress-
ional legislation.
The operation of the Plat amend
ment in the government of the island
still makes Cuba and the Cubans our
vassals. The life of the country, the
peace of its people the crust of the
poor, all depend on the disposition the
American congress makes of Cuba S
appeal
1t should be understood in the first
place that Cuba is restrained from
making any treaty with foreign ma
tons without our consent. Our inter
vention has deprived Cuba of her old
markets, and the adoption of the
Platt amendment at our demand has
brought her into a kind of limited
partnership with this country. Hence
is Cuba obliged to treat and trade
with the United States, and rise or fall
according as justice or blind avarice
are melted to her by the congress. All
Cuba asks in order to obtain a reve-
nue. for the support of her government,
discharge her war debt and enable her
planters to obtain a bare living off
their lands is reduction of p per
cent in the duties collected on raw
sugar and tobacco. The petition from
the government and people of Cuba
prays only for fair dealing, reciprocity
and a continuance Of the patriotic feel
ing which inspired the liberation of
the island from Spain.
The spirit of James G. Blaine and
the last public utterances of William
Mckinley admonish the American peo-
pie to render their full duty and pledge
to the people whom they have not yet
made absolutely free. VIII the people
redeem that pledge?
On the side of honesty and fair deal
ing with the Cubans are the president
of the United States. his secretary of
war, the former military governor of
Cuba, the manufacturing interests of
the country and the common people
who buy sugar. On the side of the
president are the great leaders of his
party, who place honesty and fair deal
ing before politics; such man as SEN
ator Mcmillan, for example, who. al

How many Catholic men. young and

very many more than are members.
Why should this be? Would it be, if

great promise. Could it not do some
thing to promote increase of member

so only, in proportion 10 the power or

scheme be devised for holding par

ellis of which are in existence in near

the country? There are divers Cath

Hands Across the Sea. /"

W HILE Mr. Smalley, the New York
correspondent of the London
Times, is so emphatic in his assurances
to the readers of that journal that anti
British feeling has almost entirely dis
appeared from the United States, it is
interesting to learn what another Eng
lishman, and one far more likely to be
a disinterested observer, has to say on
the same subject. A correspondent of
the London Saturday Review, signing
himself Nv. j., Norfolk" and writing
from Victoria, B.. c., on Dec. s. shows
that he at any rate, has no foolish il
lusions on the subject.
For the past three years" he says,
Il have lived and travelled amongst
the people of the United States, east
and west, and have carefully studied
their press, and am convinced, in COM
mon with all Englishmen who know
them, that they are our bitterest enc
mics. Knowing this you may imagine
how utterly disgusting it is to English
men living amongst or near them to
read as we also frequently do in Brit
ish papers such twaddle as blood
thicker than water. hands across the
sea- our cousins across the Atlantic.
etc, applied to the Americans, and still
worse is it to hear of Great Britain
giving way to them in such matters as
the Nicaragua canal, the Behring Sea
dispute and the Alaska boundary. while
they for their part miss no opportunity
of insulting, decrying and deriding
everything British, and openly side
with and hold popular public demon
strations in favor of the Beers. If our
stay at home statesmen, politicians,
ETC., instead of giving way to prejudice
which so many untraveled Englishmen
have for our cousins would only come
over and live amongst them as private
citizens for a few weeks Cor days even),
they would soon alter their opinion of
their friendliness, and we should be
spared the bitter humiliation of having
our greatest enemies constantly flat
tered and salaamed to in after dinner
speeches, public meetings, and in the
press of the mother country"
Commenting on the above the Lon
don correspondent of the Dublin Free
man says: Gould one desire more
perfect description of the humiliating
attitude of adulation and abase-
ment adopted by this country towards
the United States? or could anything
better demonstrate the ridiculous flu
tility of the whole disgusting perform
ance and the insincerity of Mr..
Smalley's attempt to deceive people in
this country as to the real facts of
the case?"

LEAVES 1T TO THE PRESIDENT
New Canal Bill Allows Chief Execu-
tive to Decide.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Just before the
adjournment of the senate, Senator
Spooner introduced a substitute for the
Nicaragua canal bill The new bill is
a practical authorization to the presi-
dent of the United States to choose be-
tween the Panama and the Nicaragua
routes The first provision looks to the
acquisition of the franchises, right of
way and other property of the new
Panama Canal company of France, in
Guiding that company's control of the
Panama railroad.
The president is authorized to pay
$40,000000 for these, provided a salts
factory title can be obtained" He is
then authorized to secure the necessary
concessions from the republic of Co
lombia, these to include the perpetual
control of a teTl-mile strip of territory
from the Caribbean sea to the Pacific
ocean A canal sufficient to accommo-
date the largest vessels is then to be
constructed under the supervision of
the secretary of war.
The bill also carries an alternative
provision authorizing the president to
proceed with the construction of the
Nicaragua canal in case he fails to Sc
cure the necessary concessions from
Colombia or satisfactory title from
the Panama Canal company. An i'm
mediate appropriation of $10,000,000 is
made in either event. The limit of cost
is fixed at S135 100000 in case the Pan
anna route is chosen, while $4,000, 900 is
allowed in case the choice falls on the
Nicaragua route.

Crows As 1t Sleeps.

THAT HISTORICAL story about the
money borrowed by Edward III
from an Italian banker in 1910,
appearing on another page, is u strih-
ing illustration of the result of inter-
est compounded, which almost staSgers
ordinary comprehension. At the time
this English king gave his | Q L to
the Florentine banker. the amount re-
presented sum equal to So O9O, 900.
The Italian bankers descendants still
hold that l L, and the original note,
with interest compounded. has been
formally presented to each successor
of the royal borrower since the day he
politely told the banker to wait for
his money. The debt therefore, which
the present king inherits represents
more money than there is in the world.
but this fact does not destroy the le-
gality of note given by the third
Edward and confirmed by his parlia-
ment. II has all the moral force be
hind it to justify settlement as any
other debt honestly contracted.
1t will not do for the English people
to set up the plea that all this hap
pened so long ago, away back in the
middle ages, that twentieth century
statute Of limitati could wipe out
the debt forever. That would be dis
crediting kings word and dishonor-
ing royalty. And SO long as all the
court customs of Edward ii are to be
reproduced along with ether tom
foolery TO give eclat to the coronation
of Edward VII, why should the heirs
of the Italian banker be excluded from
a show which really belongs to them
from the king down to the king
jester? What lawful obstacle could be
interposed to prevent an attachment
upon the whole court paraphernalia,
by the same right a creditor has for
attaching the stage outfit and box re-
ceipts of a theatrical troupe? None
whatever. If law could be applied to
royalty as it is applied to the common
people.
The chief velue of this historical
narrative, however is the impression
which interest compounded forces upon
the mind and the magnitude money
attains If allowed to slumber. y local
example of this was brought to our
attention not long ago. A Salt Lake
man deposited a dollar years ago in a
New York savings bank and carried
the book with him to Utah. The other
day he found the old bank book. The
book was sent back to New York and
IN due time the owner received a draft
upon a Salt Lake bank for more than
double the amount of the first deposit.
This is only trifiing example of the
growth of interest compounded, but it
prepares the mind for greater ones. A
sum was paid 10 the Dutch colonists
Of Manhattan island. upon which the
great city of New York is built, which
was hundreds Of thousands less than
the cost of modern battleship. "A
friend of the writer, who amuseS him
self with mathematical novelties,
worked out an example in compound
interest, taking the principa! paid by
the English &c, the bland of Man
haitian as basis. The result showed
that if the money paid to the Dutch
had been placed in bank and allowed
to draw interest compounded, the
amount would be ample to discharge
our national debt at the close of the
civil war.

the heavenly joy which overcame the
aged priest when he held The Divine
Infant in his arms. The predictions OF
Simeon forecasting the future of Christ
We're realized in His passion.
The custom OF blessing and distrib-
uting candles OH this day led TO calling
it Candlemass Day. The candle, even
better than the rose, has Ian

mind comprehending the symbols of
our faith and the objects used 10 arouse
devotion and dudle piety,
The approach OF CandleInass bay re-
calls to the writer an old priest who
passed to his reward at Holy Cross
hospital in 1898. Father Scallon was
indeed silver-tonsued orator His
presence alone was sufficient to inspire
veneratiun ere he spoke one word in
the pulpit. If we mistake mol, d SER
mon delivered in St. Mary's cathedral
on the SUNDAY preceding Candlemass
Day was the first words he uttered
standing at the altar rail III The little
church. st. Mary's had no pulpit
when Father Scallon came to Salt

That sermon was all about the candle
and what its mission vas from the time
the pagans deifed Pan up to the
period when Christians placed it upon
their affairs. Holding It up or holding
it down. the light of the candle always
pointed to heaven. For nearly an hour

claring that Father Scailon was entire

Washington Master of Prose.

George Washington, besides being the
father of his country, brilliant warrior
and thorough statesman, Is now put tor-
ward by Professor Tr1ggs OF the Uni
VersIty of Chicago as one of the greatest
literary workers OF America and the
world. This was the judgment with
which Professor Triggs shattered the
ideals of his class in prose literature.
Many of you, said he, have been
taught to regard Macaulay and Robert
Louis Stevenson as the masters of Eng
lish prose style. This is probably the
generally accepted opinion, but it should
not be If the correct standard were used
in Judging the merit of prose.
Prose, like poetry, is to be ranked on
a basis of the thought expressed and not
on the manner of expressing 1t. Steven
son wrote with delightful, even interest
ing smoothness of commonplace life But
Washington, few as his writings are, ex-
pressed great ideas, noble thoughts and
on the basis of his farewell address
alone, deserves to rank above the Eng
lishmen.'
