law. though not very radical, will do
much toward restricting the evils Of
drunkenness.
Other European countries are also In
the fight against intemperance. In
France medical STATISTICS indicated that
the great increase In pulmonary tuber-
culosis was due almost entirely to az
coholsm. and also that two thirds or
the inmates OF the insane asylums
were suffering from the same cause.
There is now talk Of prohibiting the

Switzerland the police are required to

by a government monopoly, and each
canton Is required to spend 10 per cent

pitfalls and other agencies for combating

Thus the war on alcohol Is on nearly
all over Europe. People are waking up
to the dangers OF the greatest peril Of
the present time. With the restriction
of drunkenness, a better moral condl-

the use OF tobacco Is restricted In the
same way. War against excessive drink
should always include war against to-
bacco and similar narcotics. They are
all destroyers Of the manhood and No.

A LONDON PLAN.

The London Spectator Is Of the opln-

ment, by which the Sultan would

A PEACE CONFERENCE.

A peace conference has just been In
session at Vienna and gatherings OF
that kind are important enough to
command at least a passing notice The
conference represented various Euro
pean parliaments, and It was held un-
der the presidency OF the Austrian
premier II proves that the rulers OF
the Old World do not regard the peace
idea as chimerical, but as debatable,
and practical.
just now Europe Is IN disturbed
state, and no one can tell when the
flames OF war will burst forth in a gem
eYal blaze. The efforts at controlling
the raging fire may prove futile This
fact proves the need OF an arrangement
whereby important problems can be
solved by peaceful means. Not one Of
the great powers desires European
war at this time, And yet they may not
be able to prevent It, why then, do
they not come together and agree on "A
settlement OF the Turkish question, and
prevent war the only way II can be pre-
vented2
No immediate results are to
be expected from the Vienna
conference, but the fact that
the ruling classes OF the OLD
World take an interest in the peace
question, and discuss It in conferences,
Is a guarantee that the matter will
grow i'm popularity, until the time Is
perfectly ripe for the great era that Is
TO come. The jockals OF mlitarlsm are
still bowling, and hunting in all dlrec-
tions for their prey but such confer
ences Indicate the coming OF the day,
when all the beings that love the dark
ness will flee for the rays OF the sun.

CHURCH AND UNIoNisM.

An occurrence has recently taken
place at Beloit, Wis. which may have
far-reaching consequences, BY II the
Roman church In this country seems
TO have challenged unionlsm TO COM
bat. A Roman Catholic priest has ref.
used to give absolution to a printer be-
cause as n member Of the typographl-
cal union he had taken an oath which
the priest considered at variance with
his duties as a church member. The
oath referred to contains n declaration
that my fidelity 10 the union and my
duties to the members thereof shall In
no sense, be interterod with by any
allegiance that ! may now or hereafter
owe to any other organization, social.
political, or religious, secret or other
wise" The priest takes the view that a
man who has taken such an oath can
not be loyal to the church. He Is un-
questlonably in harmony in this view.
with the authorities OF that church. For
the late pope, in his encycllcal on
Amerlcanism expressly stated that the
church is a divine society while all
other social human organizations de-
pend simply on the free win and choice
Of man. Further, that all modern pro-
ducts of industry and study II they
are to be Of any benefit, can only be
ION the condition OF recognizing the
wisdom and the authority OF the

could act otherwise than he did, But
he seems to have preolpitated a con-
tlict in which the whole country must
become interested. Unonism has OF,

negroes; but he does not advocate
turning from them. On the contrary,
