Walter Wellman, the noted newspaper CORE
spondent, charges that Meyer and Haywood, re-
spectivey sociastc president and secretary of the
Western Federation of Miners, melted the dsas-
trous Cripple Greek and Telluride strikes for the
purpose of filling the Golfers of that organization
with funds mulcted from the Labor Unions of the
country. Mr.. Wellman cites a conversation had
with Haywood in confederation of this charge,
and Mr. Gompers, the veteran and esteemed labor
unionist justly evinces much righteous ndigna-
tion at the dastardly outrage 1t due the accused
to state that Mr. Haywood denies the charge, but
the public will probably accept Mr. Gompers' view
of the affair These revolutionary-social pro-
podangists are, a rule, animated by the same
perncious spirit of ruthless ACKNOWLEDGEMENT as
that which controls the predatory plutocrats at the
other end of the line. The baneful influence uron
society of these rapacous forces of iniquty must be
destroyed, in order that decency justice peace and
prosperity may once more bless our common coun-
try.

We are in receipt of a letter from the editor
of Rock Springs contemporary, claiming that our
correspondent had done his journal an injustice IN
adversely criticising an item of news appearing
therein, and caustically accusing him of unfair
ness As no names were mentioned by our CORE
spondent, there should be undue umbrage taken
by Mr. Editor Our esteemed correspondent SHALL
of course, have every opportunity to make all due
amende honorable through our columns, or through
those of our contemporary.

Why proclaim yourself moral leper, unless you
are willing to be subjected to social ostraeism!
Why sail under the pirates pennant, if you desire
to be ranked with the crew of a reputable craft?
Fellow citizens-you who style yourself Socialists"
why protest when you are classed together with
the founders of your cult, as enemies of religion
and society Is the public not justified in confer
ring upon you the character assumed by your ac-
knowledged leaders!

"The Prince and the Pauper"-In the spiritual
realmn the first is typical of the who-though
impoverished, humble and despised by his undis-
corning fellow-men-has enriched his immortal
soul with the divine graces so lavinshly dispensed
by Holy Church by means of her holy ordinances,
her magnificent sacraments and the ineffable Sac
rifice of the Mass. The last by the man who
though revealing in opulence and heavy-aqer with
worldly honors with social, political, royal or &C.
cesiastical preferment and distinctions-has AFRO
gantly disdaned fatuously neglected to accept
unto his immortal soul these priceless gifts Ct Cod
His choicest, most munificent and most precious
dispensation to the human race. All, verify, What
profiteth it man to gain the whole world if he
lose his immortal SOUP since the enjoyment of the
world is of so feetingly transitory character and
the life Of the soul is for all eternity!

Probably the most vital feature in connection
with the municipal ownership of public utilities
that the people of Chicago will have consider is
the rate of interest on the bonds that must be is
sued in acquiring the properties, Anything in ex-

unjust burden upon the city The rate of interest
allowed to capital is the fundamental problem in
the proper distribution of the wealth produced by

Notre Dame made notable exception this year
in choosing a man from the commercial ranks upon
whom to bestow the Laetare medal.
1t is in the following language that the d1stln-
guished recipient is eulogized in the Notre Dame
Scholastic among hundreds of notable Catho-
lies engaged in business in these United States,
Notre Dame takes especial pleasure in signallz1ng
one whose name is synonymous with spotless IN
tegrity unbemished honor, and the highest sense
of religious duty; a Catholic whose influence Is
uniformly exerted for the uplifting of younger
neghbors and the betterment of his fellOw-citizens
generally; benefactor whose hidden charities are
largely in excess of what is credited to his public
generosity; faithfully consistent son of the
Church and jealous promoter of every religious

Much has been written in stand seemly praise
of Father John a. O'Rourke's devoted heroism and
sef-sacrifice in his loving and arduous ministra-
lions to the victims of the horrible boiler explosion
at Brockton, Mass. In an editorial the Boston

about Father ORourkes action is that it represents
simply what we may call the priestly instinct"

How difficult it is to stem the tide of an adj
verse public opinion, when aroused, and to
escape just retribution, when it has finally espied
its quarry! The acceptance of Rockefellers dona-
ton by the Missionary Board, instead of serving
the purpose of sitting the storm of public indig
nation, has only served to add momentum to its
ominous rumbing. The denunciations heaped
upon the recipient, must be fortified by convicting

The Rev. William j. Kerby, S. r /. Phi. D..
sociate professor of sociology in the Catholic Uni
versy, in a recent discussion of the ethics of gam
ing before the Contemporary Club of Philadelphia
appealed to his hearers to aid in banishing all
games played for money or prizes. This practice,
whilst not essentially sinful, is vicious in its
denotes. 1t is one of the social vices of the day
that insiduously tend to blunt finer moral per-
ceptions and thus render us incapable of properly
responding to the dictates of the higher ethical
ideals presented to us by the Christian religion.

Cain, the aboriginal fratricide; Judas Iscoriot,
the universally despised betrayer of his Divine
Lord and Master; Benedict Arnold, the most justly
and intensely hated traitor to country and all the
aboriginal free-booters, pirates and other ruthless
despoilers of the public, might have made an
equally valid plea in justification Of their crimes
that made by Mr.. Rogers in behalf of the
Standard Oil company, e., that they had violated
no formal statutory enactments. This fact does
not, however, secure them immunity from the con-
sequences of their fragrant transgressions. Nor
should such pittifuy puerile plea avail this in
dustrial monster. 1t is squrming on the rack
of incensed public sentiment and the screws should
be drastically applied that its escape with any
of the iniquitous plumber will prove utterly inn
possible.

Radiant and buoyant sanctity, not morbid
morose or peevish sanctimoniousness, is the Catho
lie ideal. The devout Christian, consciously har-
boring within his heart of hearts the God of all
comprehending love, goodwill and holy JOY,
should present to the world a contenance beaming
with good cheer and fellowship 1t is thus that he
would captivate the hearts of his fellow-mortals
and consciously or unconsciousy, lead them to the
portals of the realms of everlasting blessedness.

Archbishop Glennon of st. Louis has inaugur-
ated praiseworthy enterprise, which shall be the
means of directing the Catholic element in the vast
tide of immigration now directed towards our
shores to homes in the west and southwest, where
they may be provided with the ministrations and
safeguards of their holy religion, whilst being re
moved from the baneful influences and the physical
dangers and hardships of the congested centers of
the east This movement merits the active CO.
operation of the faithful in all parts of the coun
try. 1t is to be hoped that Bishop Glennon will
direct his attention to the superior advantages af
forded by the undeyeloped districts of the inter
mountain region. The climatic conditions of this
section of the country offer unexcelled induce
ments to industrious and enterprising colonists
and our people would particularly welcome the
frugal and law-abiding class of emigrants fortified
with the faith and morals of the Catholic religion
