WISCONsIN'S POTATO KING.
Leonard starks, of Plainiie1d, Prob
ably the Largest Dealer ON Earth
Operations Cover PA Towns.

Leonard Starks, of Plainfield, Wis,
probably is the largest dealer in pota.
toes in the world. His operations cover
214 towns on all the railroads in Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota. In
these three states alone it is computed
that 100000 acres of light, sandy soil is
devoted to potatoes. The marketing OF
100000 bushels forms considerable
Item Of industry, giving employment to
a great number of buyers, spectators,
vOrkmen and freight handlers. Far
more care is taken Of the potato than
OF almost any other vegetable on the
market. Somewhere about 5000 cars
are in constant service by this one firm,
and capacity is provided for 5000 car
loads more. The preservation of the
first value from the farm to the con-
sumner is the great problem. At pres
ent the preparation of car for the
safe transportation of potatoes in viii
ter is occupying Mr.. Stark's attention.
The car is to be ceiled, double foored,
papered, often twice, then divided into
bins and stove and fuel furnished.
This, of course, entails man to go
with the car, or cars. All this must
necessarily come out of the price of the
commodity. Machinery for digging
and cleaning of the potato on the farm is
also being Investigated. The operation
of Mr.. Starks in potatoes is no small
business. He is modest, unassuming
man Of SO years, and his rise in the
world from hired man on poor farm
to his present leading position was
rapid. One of his chief characteristics
is his almost perfect measurement and
judgment of men. His workmen are
almost all lifelong associates, and his
rise has been the means of lifting mum
Der of other men, for. in addition to his
great ventures in the potato market, he
! is silent but much interested partner
in many trades and in several towns in
! Wisconsin.

In riches, made Himself poor in order
that He might ennoble poverty and
enrich it with merit beyond price for
heaven. Ency. Rerum Novarum.)
For the settlement of the social ques-
ton mucn can be done by the capital
lists and workers themselves by means
Of institutions designed to provide time
~ aid for the needy and to bring to-
gether and unite mutually the two
classes Among these institutions are.
mutual aid societies. various kinds of
private insurance societies. orphanages
for the young and, above all. associa-
lions among the different trades and
professions. (Ency. Rerum NoVarum.)
Moreover, Christian democracy must
have nothing to do with politics and
never be made to serve political ends or
parties. This is not its field. But it
must be beneficent movement for the
people and founded on the law of ma
ture and the precepts of the Gospel.
(Ency. Graves de Communi Instruction
of the S. Con. for T.. e. Affairs.) Chris
tan democrats in Italy must abstain
from participating in any political ac
ton. This is under present circum
stances forbidden to every Catholic for
reasons of the highest order Qnstruc
tion.)
In performing its functions Christian
democracy is bound most strictly to de
pend on the ecclesiastical authority and
to offer full submission and obedience
to the bishops and to those who repre-
sent them. There is no meritorious zeal
or sincere piety in enterprises beautiful
and good in themselves when they are
not approved by the pastor. Ency.
Graves de Community
| The foregoing fundamental rules we
of our own initiative and with certain
knowledge do renew by our apostolic
authority in all their parts, and we do
ordain that they be transmitted to all
Catholic committees societies and un-
ions of every kind All these societies
are to keep them exposed in their rooms
and to have them read frequently at
their meetings.
But as words and energetic action are
Of no avail unless preceded accompa
MED and followed constantly by exam
pie the necessary characteristic which
should shine forth in all the members
of every Catholic association is that of
openly manifesting their faith by the
holiness of their lives, by the spotless-
ness of their morals and by the scrupu-
lous observance Of the laws of God and
of the Church.
/ And this because it is the duty of ev-
cry Christian and also in order that
who stands against us may blush, hav-
ing nothing evil to say to us (Titus ii,
8.
i From this solicitude Of ours, common
good of Catholic action, especially in
Italy, we hope through the blessings Of
+, God to reap abundant and happy fruits.

RIOT AT PORT 4o .siNcE.

American Ministers Action Stopped
 Disorder and Mob Violence.
 PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Aug. B. The city of Port au Prince is in state of great disorder. Bands of soldiers throwing stones prevent the Syrian traders from reopening their stores American citizens have hoisted the stars and stripes over their residences, and a number of them have sought refuge in the American legation driv- ing there in carriages flying the Ameri- can flag and pursued by the popuiace throwing stones.
 Hearing of the disorders, Mir. Powell. the American minister, went to the pal- ace and demanded of President Nord that the government should take imme- diate action to stop the disorders and to protect ali foreigners and their prop erty. demanding especially that Ameri- can interests be protected
 The president sent for the minister of the interior and the military governor and ordered them to take immediate steps to stop the disorders and for this purpose to send troops and police to the disturbed districts.
 President Nord assured Minister Powell that the lives and property of foreigners would be protected and said he would see that their business did not suffer damage.
 After the interview at the palace Minister Powell, Alexander Battiste, the American deputy consul, and Gen. eral Carrie, the military governor, wis ited the disturbed districts and person ally saw that protection was given to the houses of foreigners.
 The energetic and prompt action of Minister Powell has no doubt saved not only the property, but the lives of for eigners and prevented greater disturb ances.
 Owing to the energetic remonstrances of Mir. Powell the government has de- cided to take strong measures to pro- tect the peaceable inhabitants, and pa trols of police have been sent to pro tect the Syrian stores

HELP FOR TAXPAYERS.
Addition to Parochial schoel- l,2OO
 Pupils Will be Acco rnmodated.

Ine new parochial school of St. Ma rvs parish is nearing completion and. will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the fall term. It is expected that in the neighborhood of 1,2OO pu- p1ls will be taken care of in the schools of the Imrnac aculate Conception parish after this building is opened This will relieve the department of educa- tion of an annual expense Of about $3OOOO. And that is not all The city receives $2.25 per head from the state for each child attending these schools, so that while some folks are railing about high rate of taxation under ex- 1sting conditions, 1t is plain that the burden would be considerably greater were it not for the different parochial schools that meet the entire cost of ed ucating large share of the youth of the community, besides putting the city i'll position to get the state per capita funds
 Many claim that considering the amount of work done by private insti- tutions as an educational way, the rate of taxation in Waterbury ought to be less than it is. but those who have to do with such things cannot see 1t that way, and make no bones of stat ing that people might make up their minds that the indications point to- wards an increase in the size of the rate bills.

 MT Wells: "Umph. If you had called for bids I think you would have found WilInot among the competi- tors.''
