Ever since the Roman Church began
its work in this country 1t has been the
dream of cccleslastics to build a struc-

be a visible realization of Catholic de-
votion. 1t has remained for a Canadian
priest to unfold the project.

The model for this structure is GER

designers. Rev. Father Bouillon came
to the conclusion, after infinitely inspect

According to Canon Bouillou. the most
imposing and satisfactory arrangement
for a cathedral is one that permits
seeing the top of the dome from every

A Competitive Market

is, by its very nature, an unreliable one. Its product represents NO
personality, nc pride. Honesty receives no recompense. A trans
action ends with the passing of coin. individuality is submerged
by sordid commercialism. This is especially true of clothes for
men and boys. That is why we make the Saks clothes. Our
standard governs every step from inception to completion; indivdu-
aty is represented in every line. Doubt is superseded by GER
tainty. Instead Of mechanical construction directed by ignorance,
science and intelligence contribute a rare quota. Ours are clever
craftsmen, adopts in the most modern methods, who take personal
pride in their work. 1t receives proper recognition. That's an
incentive to extreme care and a stimulus to their best efforts. Do

These chapels are thirty-hve feet in

The browning feature Of the des!sn.
the one which Canon Bouillon has most
repeatedly revised, is the dome, which
he believes will surpass in magn!f-

1t will be supported in the first place
by four pillars, zach fifty feet in d.

with columns and inches with reliefs

PRACTICE VS.. THEORY.

When your democratic friend sug-
gests free trade to kill the trusts tell
him that you do not want to burn
down the barn to get rid of the fleas
Then remind him of a few facts anu
ask him to chew them over; first, that
the only law on the statute books to
regulate the trusts was passed by a
republican congress; second, that this
law was in force during a democratic
administration and that not a finger
was lifted by the democratic attorney
general to use it against the trusts;
third, that republican administration
is using the law and is now proceed
ing against the beef trust and the
Northern Securities merger. Finally,
ask your democratic friend if common
sense does not dictate that the repub-
licans have done. can do and will do
more to regulate the trusts than the
democrats.

democrats by declaring for tariff re-
form as remedy for trusts.
The Register and Leader has re-
published the shelter plank of the
platform repeatedly in order to keep
before its readers exactly what was
adopted at the state convention, and
to allow the real declaration of the
republicans of the state to oVertake
as many of the alleged declarations
as possible. The shelter plank de-
mands amy modification of the tariff
schedules that may be required to
prevent their affording shelter to
monopoly" President Roosevelt said
at Cincinnati: ''If in any case the
tariff is found to foster a monopoly,
which does i'll, why, of course, no
protectionist would object to modi-
fication of the tariff sufficient to rem
edy the evil"
There Is no longer any reason for
any misrepresentation of the attitude
of Iowa republicans. They have mere
ly taken advance ground on the we'll
beaten republican highway. They
have not wandered off into any demo-
cratic by-path. Neither have they Dor.
rowed the democratic campaign cry
that the tariff is the mother Of trusts.
They have merely suggested that the
policy which President Mckinley pro-
posed be recognized in national legis-.
lation, and their suggestion seems I'd
have inspired a demand everywhere in
the nation which is certain to bs
needed.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
Many Sided Question.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er agrees with President Roosevelt,
that in legislating against the trusts,
through changes in the tariff, the in
terests of the trusts competitors must
be considered; that tariff changes
which would injure any honest COM
petitor of the trusts cannot wisely be
made. To come within the purview
of the much discussed shelter plank
OF the Iowa platform, the Des Moines
paper explains, there must be an &C,
tual monopoly controlling the market.
The President wisely separates the
tariff and the trust question: con-
tinues the Register and Leader. 1T
is only incidentally that they come
together. The trust is not always a
monopoly. That its purpose is to be-
come as nearly a monopoly as it can
is apparent. The tariff question is a
great question, and the trust question
Is a great question. But they involve
different principles, and must be treat
ed along different lines. In so far as
they come together it is at the point
which the Iowa platform suggests,
when the trust becomes a monopoly
and under shelter of the tariff wall
exacts an undue profit from the Amer
lean consumer"

NOT KILL BUT REGULATE.

One of the reasons why American
manufacturers are finding ready
market abroad is that we not only
have the ability to do things well, but
also to do them quickly. When the
British government wanted a most i'm.
portant steel railway bridge built in
India. none of the bridge builders In
Europe would undertake to complete
it within the time limit given, but an
American bridge building corpora-.
ton took the contract and did COM.

corporation was able to do the work
because it represented the consolida..

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

The tariff commission idea advanced
by president Roosevelt at IIdianapo-.
lis mas merit. In a nutshell it means
that a referee shall he appointed to
report findings of fact and its conclu,.
sion that the greatest good to the
greatest number demands that certain
tariff schedules be lowered The com.
mission Is to be clothed with no pow.
er. 1t must be composed OF men
without bias; as unimpeachable as the
members of the supreme court of the
UNI I'D States, men expert on eco.
! uestions. An ideal intermedi-.
of the character just indi-.
Iculd be the sieve into which
the --aff and the good wheat would be
placed. Then the sitting process
would begin. After it was finished
congress would be placed in possess
sion of the facts.
In this way the whole tariff struc.-
ture, the very basis of prosperity,
would not be deranged by general
revision or agitation tending to that
end. Instead certain definite tariff
matters would be up for consideration
and the interests affected by those
schedules and those schedules only
would be compelled to take notice that
changes were likely to occur.
The commission plan assumes that
the tariff needs revision. II it does
the sitting process is by far the SAT-
est way to go about it.

A few democratic politicians in the
senate and house want to quit the
Philippines, but the great mass Of

spirit, will not follow their lead
This is what Senator Foraker of
Ohio probably has in mind, although
he expresses it in polished language,
when he uttered his famous sentence
in the Philippines debate in the sem
ate last winter:

Philippines because we cannot come
away unless we write dishonor and

A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

What is needed now is campaign
of education on the trust question and
the proper manner in which to deal
with large corporations and industrial
enterprises. The people need to go to
school on this question just as they
did on the tariff question in 1892 and
on the money question in 1896. The
history of the manner in which these
two great problems were settled by
the public demonstrates conclusively
that the people of the United States do
not make mistakes when they once
take up public question with the full
determination to probe it to the bot
tom.
President Roosevelt, with the ad-
nlirable bravery which is Characters
tic of the man, in his present trip
through the country, has commenced
this campaign of education. His
speech at Cincinnati on Sat.
urday made an admirable
presentation of the subject
and it is stated that in Milwaukee on
Wednesday he will make formal adj.
dress that will serve as the keynote
of the campaign from the republican
standpoint.

AN ORIGINAL IDEA.

Horace Boies refused to allow the
third district democratic congression-
al convention to adopt platform ex--
pressing sentiments which he would
be compelled to uphold during the
campaign. Mr.. Boies knew what he
knew and did not care to have anybody
placing pebbles in the political cof--
fee grinder. They CRATE SO on ones
nerves when they get down to the
business part of the machinery.
So it came about that Mr.. Boies was
allowed to write his own platform.
The convention which nominated him
might be trusted to at least keep still
on the money question but it was
reasonably sure to make some foolish
and embarrassing assertions ON the
tariff. For instance: What democratic
convention could be trusted to make a
conservative utterance on this question
and to not declare that a tariff for rev.
enue only is the one way that the CON
sumner can get even? There may have
been conventions of this kind. but it
must have been long time ago.
Here is where Mr.. Boies did a bold
thing. He resolved that inasmuch as
he was to be the platform in the third
district it might as well get some near
er reasonable basis. The ex-govern-
or threw democratic precedent to the
winds and made the following surpris-
ing admission:
In the absence of circumstances re-.
quiring different Interpretation, a
demand for an immediate reduction of
our tariff system to revenue basis
would naturally be understood to
mean demand for a general revision
of our tariff laws. and reduction of
all their schedules to common level
that would produce needed revenue
only.
This, however, is not as understand
the Interpretation democrats at the
present time put upon that demand.
1T must be remembered that it is
made in the presence of new condi--
tions, in the bright glare of which it
must be construed.
All democratic congressional nomi--
nees may he reasonably sure to take
their cues from their leader in this
state. 1t would not be at all surpris
ing if they should follow his lead.
Judging from present indications,
democracy may, in the course of time
get around on republican ground on
the tariff. Then the hunt for new
issue will begin and the old process
of hedging will follow.
However, on the whole, congratula--
tons are due Mr.. Boies.
