SOCIALISM
DENOUNCED AT MISSION
AIRY CONFERENCE
BY REV. W. s. KREsS
Sets Will Of Majority
Above Gods Law.

Washington, April Sat session
Of the Catholic missionary conference,
Rev. w. 8. Kress, of Cleveland, Ohio,
denounced socialism today. He de-
clared that 1t creates unrest, sets one
class of citizens against another, de-
rides love Of country, aims at the
complete overthrow of our present
political system, proposes to make the
will Of the majority supreme and set
1t even above Gods law, advocates
the oonfiscation Of all land and active
capital, without one cent of compen-
ssuon," proposes to make attendance
upon atheistic schools compulsory up
to certain age, to abolish religious
communities, to loosen the marriage
bonds, to make every man subject to a
majority in the matter Of work, etc.
Socialists try to make 1t appear
that every one who opposes socialism
is not friend of the workingman.
Their usual Difference and submission
to ecclesiastical authority soon gives
way to an insolent questioning Of the
priests right to say what is false or
true, right or wrong.
''Such is the notion that labor and
capital, instead of being mutually
helpful, are naturally and necessarily
antagonistic, and that class struggle
must exist 50 long as private capital
is not abolished.
"The policy Of standing passively by
with the expectation that socialism
will wear itself out, seems uhwise. So
cialism is not a mere fad, or d passing
craze. There is only one force that
can cope successfully with the Ques-
ton. Shortly before his death. Ssna-
tor Hanna said: The one great pow
er that will be the safeguard Of our
country when such foes (conflscating
socialists and destructive anarchists)
menace our existence will be the Gath
olic church. I am not talking for
effect. This is my deep conviction"

boy was carried off alive. The police
believe that this will furnish a clew
to the identity of the murderer or

themselves seeking for the guilty per.
son or persons.

valuables to the amount of s125,000

trace of the missing son of the mil.
lionaire manufacturer.

nephew had arranged to leave for
that city on an evening train to carry
the draft, but before he was ready to
depart a message WAS received an

o'clock yesterday afternoon. And so,
instead of conveying a legacy the
young man made the journey to help
arrange for the funeral OF his relative.

Robertsville, Paris township. and was
about 48 years old. He removed to
Chicago few years ago. Death was

The st. Petersburg correspondent of

squadron having been signalled as In

From the best information available

the coastwise laws of the United
States to the trade between the Undted
States and the Philippines was given
immediate consideration. General
Grosvenor, of Ohio. chairman of the
merchant marine committee, closed the
debate which was begun yesterday.
He said that he favored an amendment
extending from July 1, L.. to July /,
1908 the time for the law to become
operative.
Mr.. Birdsall (Rep. Iowa. offered the
amendment suggested by General
Grosvenor.
Mr. Spight (Dem. Miss) moved to
amend the Amendment by extending
the time to July 1, 1909. Mr.. Spight's
amendment was lost 1923 to 1877. The
Democrats all voted for the amend
ment and a few Republicans voted

the bill. 1t provides an appropria-
ton of $475,OO0 for government ex-
hibit at Portland. Oregon, 1905. He
advocated its passage.
Mr.. Bartlett (Dem. Ga) and Mr..
Robinson dem. Ind declared that the
bill should be defeated. Mr.. Liver
nash (Union Labor, Cali supported
the measure. He said 1t came with
poor grace for Democrats who have
been asking the house to appropriate
with great liberality for the southern
exposition to raise their voices against
80 moderate an appropriation.
Mr.. Bartlett asked who it was that
supported any southern exposition ap-
preparation who was now opposed to
the bill.
Mr.. Livernash: "The gentleman as
sumes too much If he assumes that
regard him as the only gentleman on
this side of the chamber"
Mr.. Bartlett: "The gentleman as
sumee a great deal if he assumes that
he Is a gentleman at ALL"
There are some comments" Mr..
Livernash replied, that call for no
answer"
The bill was then passed.

is his fourth annual shipment to

hogs at AZ cents, gross, the price
he received, pay better than
cotton, and that sweet potatoes
at so cents per bushel pay best
of all. He has already shipped
several car loads of potatoes to
Atlanta this winter.-Ocilla Dis

The Irwinville correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution saws
the principal issue in the county
campaign this year will be
whether Irwin shall have open
saloons, dispensaries or high
license. A few years ago the pro.
hibition advocates were signally
defeated in an election called to
rid the county OF whiskey.
High license means prohibition.
We can't win on that issue-at
least not now. The people-the
white people, with few exceptions
showed by their votes in the
dispensary election their desire
to give that plan trial, and the
same desire still exists, a fact
which will appear more clearly a
little later on.--Ocilla Dispatch.
