bune.
There was a dinner given down in
Iexas some years ago for a party of
visiting Englishmen. In the after din

Some years ago Tom Taggart of
the Democratic National Committee,
says the Saturday Evening Post, had
occasion to write to an active political
worker in a distant part of Indiana,
giving him timely directions concern
ing the campaign then in progress.
Mr.. Taggart's typewriter was absent,
so he penned the letter in person,
though well aware that his chirogra-
ply belongs to the Horace Greeley
school. He wrote carefully on this
occasion, however, it being a very
important communication, and thought
there would he no difficulty. A week
later his correspondent was in Indi-

PHYSICIANS AND GRAFT.

From the Detroit News Tribune
Graft is being uncovered in unex-
pected places, and that Of politics and
public service is being duplicated In
the world of the professions. The
CRATER is looked upon with contempt.
His populations are regarded as the
meanest of extortions. The glamour
or good fellowship is rubbed off his
personality, when he stands before the
public partner in vice and crime or
beneficiary of questionable methods
or obtaining money or business.
A little coterie of reputable physi-
clans in Chicago undertook to locate
the source of medical graft that was
being worked in the city. To do this
they practiced little deception. and
100 practicing physicians received let
tiers purporting to be from a young
doctor of Odell, ILL.,, who had a
wealthy patient needing treatment in
their line. and asking for a commits
sion of rs per cent, for referring the
patient to the Chicago expert.
Out of the number receiving these
decoy letters, eighteen responded with
an invitation to the young doctor to
bring his patient along, twenty-six
fatty declined to have anything to do
with a proposition of that sort, and
forty-six paid no attention to the let
ter whatever.
DR.. John B. Murphy, who Is presi-
dent of the medical society of Chi
cago, Is very much incensed that so
large a number of physicians would
be willing to engage in the unprofes-
sional conduct for sordid gold, and he
proposes to institute a detergent pro-
cess that will eliminate the bacillus OF
graft.

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

To France the eyes of the religious
world are turned, watching the strug-
gle that is there in progress. On its
face is seems to be a contest for suprem-
acy between Premier Combes and
Pope Plus X. In reality it is a strug-
gle between principles, principles as old
as the history of states and religious
fore the French people is Shall the
Napoleonic Cbncordat be dissolved?"
Premier Combes takes the affirmative.
The Church takes the negative. The
real question is as TO what relation
shall exist between the State and the
Church. Shall they exist side by side
but independent; shall they be mu-
tually dependent: shall the Church
be higher than the State, or vice versa?
The Church stands firmly for con-
tinuance of the Concordat. drawn be-
tween the great Napoleon and Pope
Plus VII in 1901. This Concordat con-
sists of seventeen articles. BY the first
is proclaimed the free exercise of the
Catholic faith in France. provided
that 1t be public and conformable to
the regulations relative to the peace
full maintenance of order deemed
necessary by the government. The
second article prescribes the limita-
tions of the dioceses. The fourth and
fifth confer upon the State the power
of nominating bishops. The Holy See
retains for itself the final right Of
canonical appointment. The tenth
article restores TO the bishops the NOM
ination Of the priests, with the re-
servation, however. that each candi-
date meet with governmental approval.
The thirteenth ratifies the confiscation
of clerical possessions during the revolu-
ton. The fourteenth pledges on the
part OF the government suitable COM
pensation to bishops and priests. The
fifteenth permits the endowment Of
churches by the Catholic faithful. The
last two articles concern the relative
rights and prerogatives OF the Pope
and the head OF the State in ecclesIas-
teal matters. Attempts have been
made, even by Napoleon himself, to
nullify this Concordat, but without
success. 1t has stood for more than a
century and the Church insists that it
still stand.
Premier Combes demands the abso-
Lutte separation OF Church and State.
He Is willing that the separation be
gradual. but insists that IL be nearly
absolute, with the State supreme in
what relations still remain. He insists
that the State shall nominate the
French bishops and that the Pope ap-
point these nominees. He provides for
a period Of transition. with the view

HOW INDIANS rELEGRAPHED.

From the Field and Stream.
It was a spot of interest. We were
standing on one of the old signal sta
tions of the Dakota Indians. in the
very heart of what was once the buff
falo country, and what is to-day a
prosperous cattle range. Here and
there fragments of charcoal proclaim
ed where the signal fires had burned,
while in the creviees and weathered
debris of the butte's summit the writ
er found war points and chips Of
Obsidian, flint and moss agate, a few
heavier points OF flint, that once tipped
hunting arrows, a flint knife and frag-
ments of the scorched bones of the
buffalo, elk, mountain sheep. deer. an
telope, dog, badger and skunk. In
every nook and Granny of the place
small fragments of the creditable ar
ticles of Indian pottery were ground
beneath the heavy soles of our hunt
ing boots. More than a hundred SHOWS
have come and gone since that pot
terry was burned.
With their body robes OF finely tan
ned buffalo hide held, raised, lower
ed, dropped and swung in certain we'll
known peculiar ways, the Indian scouts
and watchers used to telegraph thence
to the distant village of the presence
OF strangers and enemies in the coun-
try of the approach of the buffalo
bands, and of the return of war and
hunting parties. If the camp was too
distant for the blanket signal to be
MADE out, the information vas COM
municated by fires at night and by
pillars and balloon-shaped puffs Of
smoke by day. discernible to the dis
lance of at least fifty miles. When the
traders came up the Missouri river
the Indian scout added the small,
circular hand mirror to his meager but
all-sufticient outfit, and in time learn
ed to communicate with his distant
friends by flashes of sunlight The
first Indian hunter or horse herder who
caught the danger signal from the look
out station, repeated it to the village
by riding his horse furiously in a.
circle or by other forms of sign.
