of mouth Where is the forcible dO- ing away with the existing regime? Who is it that uses force? We or somebody else?
 We have not time to make our selves heard before our mouths are shut, and for a word we are sent to prison or Siberia. Our press is call ed illegal The authors of the arti- cles, even the typographists, know of the sad life in Siberia. The simple reading of our brochures is regarded by the State as criminal.
 We are persecuted as government criminals and subject to punishment for participation in club meetings where we discuss our tasks. We are subjected to humiliating corporal punishment, beaten with knouts, trampled over by horses and fired on when we decide to come out into the air to declare publicly our views and express our demands.
 We are debarred the protection of the law. We are declared interior criminals, although this is not one and the same thing.
 Yes, there is much force used. far too much. but which side uses it?
 Therefore let them not say that the party of Social Revolutionists is trying to obtain something by means of force. Neither in the aims of the party nor in the means of attaining it's ends, is there anything like force. Perhaps force" refers to that mo- ment when the final ideals of the party will be near attainment, when the social conditions will be replan- ned on the ruins of the subjects but citizens of their country. Perhaps the acusation means that the party will first attempt a political change in Russia and then social one. To this I reply that the party does not decide the question as to how the present conditions will be changed to those wished for. Of the estab- lishment of the social conditions to which our party is pledged it is i'm possible to talk even seriously. The organization of the social conditions of the Empire on the basis of social ism would be an impossibility even TOT IH6 pOMSTIui DuTSduCI dCy uC tasks of our party are sometimes un- derstood, but for understanding them you are sent to goals. Russia will the socialistic reconstruction possibly when the name of Russia will not exist longer on the earth. So far as the final triumph of our ideals is concerned, this triumph will take place not only here in Russia, but over the whole world. But it will undoubtedly not take place anywhere while the Russian autocratic Empire exists, because up to now the pro gressive movements of the best in formed people have broken to pieces against this strength" In the mean time we are fighting in other states under the banner of socialism and have advanced further than any bourgeoise party, and we Russian So cialists are doing the same.

taken to arms it is only because representatives of government which is dying out have taken charge of the autocratic power and have gone quite out of the bounds of hu- manity in their dealings with us rev olutionists and the dissatisfied peo- pie. We are treated like hunted and beaten animals. For this reason we have barred our teeth and taken to arms.

 Consequently I state tha: when throwing the bomb at MT. Plehve I did not think that it would fall on the existing form of government in Russia I threw the bomb at MT. Plehve not in his capacity as a Rus sian Minister (there are still many of them left) but I threw the bomb at him as a certain person who in a certain way filled the position of Minister of Interior. MT. Plehve in fighting against national discontent had resource to force. He committed the gravest of crimes.
 1st. Plehve gave up to execu5;on, imprisoned in the fortress and sub. jected our comrades to all kinds of tcrtures and punishments. He forced us to rise against him as the perse- cutor and murderer of the people. Balmashev and Heketch were placed on the scaffold. Gershuni and Fem kina were buried in Slusselberg for tress. Such facts we sociol revolu- tionists cannot but regard as crimes and the fault of these crimes lies on the head of the man who carried on an untruthful fight for the State.
 2nd. Plehye, as Director of the Department of Police, choked the party of Peoples Free Will' by means of jails, fortresses, penal serv- itude, prisons and exile. People had no opportunity of forgetting his hangman. The old time hangman again placed his white hand on the peoples necks. To speak about for getting was only possible in case Plehve tried to redeem his former crimes by reforms and concessions during the latter part of his life.
 3rd. Plehve. before the declara- ton of war with Japan arranged war in the interior of Russia. He looked on Russia as though it was a foreign country. He strewed the land with it's citizens blood. He shot the workmen when they spoke plainly about their needs and their interests.
 'Yes for the shooting of workmen MT. Plehye is to blame more than anyone else. Although he did not give the word Fire he is guilty because the shooting was initiated by him as Minister of the Interior, and by orders of men who fulfilled the orders of him who had appoint ed them.

TRAINING A JESUIT.
Years Of Study and Preparation Which
Fit Him for His Work.

Eleven students of the Jesuit college
in Boston have decided to enter the
Jesuit order, and will begin at once the
study and preparation which will cover
a period Of seventeen years. says the
Catholic Columbian. The course of stu
dies, according to the rule of the or
der, never varies. The novitiate at
Poughkeepskie is the preliminary train
ing school for all candidates for the or
der who enter from the eastern part
of the United States. 1t is new insti-
tuition, having been established only
few years ago. For many years the
novitiate was located at Frederick,
Md, one Of the Oldest settlements of
the Jesuits in America.
In the novitiate the postulants spend
two years, which are devoted to
training in ascetics or life of spirit
lality. They are taught numerous USE
full arts, and as a part of their routine
work are required to perform certain
labors simply to impress upon them
that they must ever be humble.
The lesson of humility and equality
is emphasized especially by their sys-
tenn of retiring prominent members
from their offices at the end of stated
periods to other positions to which no
prominence is attached. The most
n Scr, fish r1,, hSooo t0e
as member of the order is put upon
the same ground of equality as the
humblest priest who follows the rule.
After finishing his novitiate training
the postulant enters what is called the
Junior rate. This usually requires two
years, during which he reviews the
studies of the usual college courses
and becomes proficient in those branch
es. At the completion of the junior
rate a course of three years in philos-
ophy and sciences is pursued.
At this juncture a change of pro-
ceeding takes place, and the candidate
retires from active routine study and
spends the following five years as a
scholastic teacher in the various col
legiate grades in the Jesuit colleges.
Following the five years of scholastic
teaching, the candidate returns to
study exclusively, and spends three
years in the study Of theology. At the
conclusion he is ordained to the priest
hood After ordination he returns i'm
mediately to his studies, and spends at
least another year in higher philosoph-
ical work. Then he generally goes into
active teaching for some time, being
assigned to professorships in leading
branches in the Jesuit colleges and uni
versities. After this experience he

danger that the people will allow
themselves to be deprived of their
rights by ruthless leaders. All that Is
needed to bring about the downfall of
disreputable machines is someone with

Gently we have had ample evidence
of the fact that the great majority of

great danger of the future is in fake
reformers, and in self-seeking indi-

the cause of reform by insincere adj
vocates. Men without conscience
parading under the banner of reform
will bring such movements to grief.
We have no doubt that the greedy
political boss who has been running
politics in the interest of himself and
masters of finance will be overthrown.
Will his place in every instance be
taken by leaders who are devoted to
the public welfare? There Is as much
for reform that the people will follow

NORWAY REMAINS A MONARCHY.

The fate of Norway is at last COM

Prince Charles of Denmark but now
he becomes Haakon VII. King of Nor

on the throne and play the ruler part
until some other movement comes
along and displaces them.
Americans would have been better
please If the Norwegians had decided
in favor Of republic. They are nat
urally democratic people and less
given to king worship than most any
other people in Europe. The habit Of
centuries. however, was too strong to
be overcome at this time. The new
king will have little power. King Os-

so continue under the new king. No
doubt tho perilous situation of Nor
way had much to do in deciding it to
remain monarchy. If a republic had
been established it would have caused
resentment among the crowned heads
of Europe, and Norway alone could be
unable to sustain its position as an

are perpetual only in the language of
I the order. If later in his course the
candidate should change his mind and
leave the order, he may be dispensed
from the perpetual VOWS. The SOL
emn VOWS are taken at the time of final
profession and are therefore preceded
by nearly score of years in the order.

ant than the earlier vows, and, accord
ing to the laws of the society and the
Church, they are very binding upon the

The Trend Of Reform.

By IT, j. Ker6y:
Copyright 1905 by the Catholic Associated Press)

It is worthy of note that majority
public today appear to originate
through excess of liberty and that the
reform propositions advanced as we'll
as measures adopted, are in the direc-
ton of increased State intervention.
Years ago, when the Interstate Com
merce Commission was created,
thoughtful men declared it to be a
definite step towards State Socialism.
Today, when there is insistent demand
for an extension of the governments
powers, through rate legislation and a
consequent curbing of liberty in ad-
ministration Of railroads, we find a
striking confirmation of that view. The
demand for municipal ownership, ex-
pressed with such power recently in
Chicago and New York; the appeal for
federal control of Insurance.; the policy
of federal control of corporations, are
all indications Of revolution in politi-
cal philosophy which is going on in
the minds of the people. If we inter-
pref in the same way the mass Of la
Dor legislation enacted in State and
Nation, in which liberty of property
is extensively curtailed; if we look
upon labor unions as extra legal ex-
pressions Of the same loss of confidence

process at work which is the presage
of radical changes in our institutions.
There are three fundamental ques-
tons involved throughout: Liberty of
person, the right Of property and the
function Of government. The main en-
phasis is on the second and third,
which are but two aspects of one qucs-
ton, namely, the function of govern
ment.
Socialism, in its attack on private
ownership of capital, confuses success
fully the institution with certain Of
its legal forms. Private capital owned
and managed by the individual has but
little to do with our more serious prob,
lens. Aggregated capital association
Of capitalists, is the essential factor.
This distinction is of value in reform
work.
The census of 900 reports s72,7Os es-
Establishments in which the single pro-
prietor establishes and conducts
business on his individual responsible
ity, owns the capital and hires the men.
This number is 1913 per cent of the
whole number, but they produced only
20.6 per cent of the total output of the
country. OF this number of establish
ments about one-half were engaged in
hand trades; 96,715 partnerships, or
1879 per cent Of the whole number.
