The war between the Vatican and
the French government has broken out
afresh over the papal order to three
archbishops and three bishops to send
in their designations, and the concordat
is likely to be abrogated. The founders
of our republic saved us from such in
ternational complications by their wise
insistence on the separation of church

CITY ATTORNEY com.
PEELED TO PAY FOR
" SUBSTITUTE.
Council Adopts Same Policy That 10
Criticized BY People In General
Against Selfish Operations
City Employees Must Loose If They
Get Sick.-Some Aldermen Use
"Laboringmen" as a Shield to De.
fend Their Position.

The City council spent fully twenty
minutes last Monday evening fighting
over the payment of $77.oO to- a SUBJ
stitute for assistant city attorney
Holmes. While Mr.. Holmes was prose-
cutting the Edwards-Wood case in St.
Paul he became i'll, and was confined
to his bed for three weeks.
During his illness it became neces-
sary to employ an assistant to care for
municipal court cases. A requisition
was sent to the council for pay for this
substitute: It was recommended for
passage by the committee, but Alder
man Walker. objected to it. He said
that he did not believe that the city
should allow salary to an employee dur
ing illness. He was supported in his
remarks by Aldermen Sang and Shaef-
fer. All of them shielded themselves
behind the excuse, the the working
men" were not allowed pay for loss Of
time during sickness. They commended
that there should be no discrimination
between city employees. The fact re-
mains; however, that steady city en-
ployes are seldom locked for loss Of
time during sickness. To be consis-
tent some of the Aldermen who are alb
sent from meetings of the council
should refuse to take their salary for
those meetings. But that would be
taking the matter home where their ar
gument would not apply.
1t is the opinion Of the Labor World
that Mr.. Holmes should receive his pay
for the time that he was sick. He be-
came i'll through exposure, while per-
forming a duty for the people. It
should not be the purpose of the city
council to follow the methods of selfish
corporations in matters of this kind
Indeed many corporations recognize
that it is a duty they owe to their en-
ployes to care for them during illness.
Surely city government can afford to
be just as magnanimous as a private
corporation. No laboring man who
wants to be fair would ever object to
this policy. His usual generous spirit
would prompt him to accord the same
privilege to a brain worker, that he
would be pleased to enjoy himself.

CASE OF WHOLE

Dinard Letter to the London Mail:
No fewer than forty-two couples
were married simultaneously at Plou-
gastel Lower Britanny) this morning.
Work in the village and all the sur
rounding hamlets was entirely sus-
pended for the day. for the excellent
reason that there was scarcely liv-
ing soul in the neighborhood not re-
lated to one or other of the brides or
bridegrooms, for the good people OF
Plougastel never marry outside their
own commune.
All the men at the ceremony wore
bright blue jackets. very tight black
trousers, and no fewer than three
waistcoats each, The women .donned
spotless white head-dresses. gaily en-
broidered bodices, clicked stockings
and bright sashes of variagated hue
Owing to the popularity of their
head-dresses. the ladies of Plougastel
wear their hair cut quite short, while
the men let theirs grow as long as it
will. It is no uncommon sight TO see a
Plougastel dandy with his hair falling
over his shoulders.
The marriage ceremony is somewhat
quaint, the men being led by the hand
to the altar by their best man. cam

the ceremony, and, the service over.
all the men leave in a body first the

The rest Of the day is given up to
singing and dancing to the music Of

for a week, and the poorest beggar

GAMBLING IS ROUTED
FROM LOWELL BLOCK

Claimed That. City EmpIoye Rented
Room for Gambling Purposes and
Sub-Iet it to Prominent Ward
Politician. Many People Saw Out

when they found that they were oblig-

politician. The consideration is said
to have been 81 per day. When the
room was fitted out, it was said
to- contain but two card tables, some
chairs and tin box. Everything
went along smoothly for two weeks,
until Saturday evening, when the ten
ant Of the building learned what was
going on, and then there was some
thing doing. No one was arrested.
1t is so hard, you know, to catch peo-
pie in the act Of gambling. The green
cloth, the cards and the chairs don't
count for anything. That does not
prove that men were gambling. Even
the character of the men, with an up
to-date vagrancy ordinance was not
sufficient. The police theory is that
they must be caught. in the act of deal
ing out cards and taking the money.
Possibly this Is .trlS4 but it usually de-
ponds upon who the parties are. In
this case no one was arrested.
ALI that is known Is that a dray was
seen to back up to. the door Of the
building. A little later it was seen to
drive away loaded with the full equip
ment for a very inducing poker game.
A tenant Of the building who pre-
tends to know something about the
affair said to the Labor World that all
the parties are known to be occupants
of the Lowell building. The city en-
ploye who rented the rooms in the first
place; the ward pol itician who sub
leased them and who ran the game,
and the men who patronized the game
are all known to him.
1t is not known where the outfit was
moved to, but it is safe to say that it
will not long remain idle.
