A POLITICAL PASTORAL.

On the eve of the late election Bishop MALTA
lieu of Ohio issued political pastoral letter to the
Methodists of that state He did not mnce mat
ters nor conceal his intentions of using his power
as an ecclesiastc to influence the religious feelings
of his flock in selecting the candidate for whom
they were all in a body to vote. If other denom-
nations were to come out openly as Bishop MALTA
lien did they would be denounced by the press of
the country. The following synopsis of the bish-
ops address appeared in the papers:
There are a quarter of a million Methodist
voters in the State of Ohio, and they are all OBJ
posed to the sale of rum. To them the speech of
Secretary Taft, calling for the defeat of Coxsm.
and by implication the rebuke Of Foraker. came
with inspiring strength These good Methodsts
will be heard from when the election time rolls
around.
Il nope the speech of Secretary Taft is the first
gun in his campaign for the Republican nomina-
ton for the presidency. Personally, I feel with
him there is good hope for rescuing the State of
Ohio from Goxism, and / am convinced the Meth
odists Of the state will give every assistance pos
sible in effecting this desirable end They will
hope that the Foraker influence will disappear with
the Cox power, and that it with be possible for
new Republican party, with cleaner leaders and
better morals, to be formed.

THE RAILROAD RATE ISSUE.

Raw Stannard Bakers initial article i'll Nc
CIuro; for November is timely and throws the sub
iect into popular form 1t shows me tremendous
importance of the whole matter and at Jne same
time the battling confusion and glarlng abuses de-
1eIoned hv uncontrolled railroad managers. Mr.
Rokcr regards railroad rates indeed as the issue

Railroad rates plainly determine local develop

.and n similar revolution takes place not only n
the affairs of the railroad company. but I'm the
prosperity of every town. every producer ana eyerE
consumer on the line In other words the modern
highway is the railway and the terms on "i'''n l'
can be enjoyed are vital to all enterprise.
The complexitv and confusion of present rail-
road rates arc appreciated by few persons. As Ior
a science of rate-making. there Is no such lhIh&

the selfish interests which are concerned and arc

there is skiold classification Of freight with re-
spect TO traffic but this osenslbly simple system
is blind for innumerable exceptions. Over 20Oo.-
600 Separate tariffs" are file with the Inter
state commerce commissions and every days mail
brings 500 new tariffs.
II Is however. the determinations practiced
which have chiefly provoked the pubic. Iowa
farmers last winter paid 80 per cent to 30 per cent
higher rates than Nebraska farmers to get their
wheat to seaboard. although Nebraska wheat passed
eastward through Iowa. 4 Denver merchant pays
1924 per hundred on cotton goods from Boston
while the San Francisco merchant. who enjoys the
benefit of water competition, pays 81. The Spo-
kane merchant is charged on shipments from the
east the rate to Seattle plus the rate from Seattle
back to Spokane. He pays 500 more ON a carload
than the Seattle merchant and has it hauled $50
fewer miles The New York or Vermont farmer
must pay as much as the distant Iowa farmer to
get his butter to the New FORK market. y manu-
facturer starts in a small town. but discriminating
freight rates soon compel him to seek the big town
or go under 'The little towns taxed for the
success of the big towns" and little men for the
success of BIZ ones. Such examples, too, as those
above. are alleged to be instances of universal
condition in this country.
That this condition. dominated by handful Of
private persons, cannot possibly be allowed to con
tnue is the moral of Mr.. Bakers article. 1t IS
the opinion of President Roosevelt There are
principles of justice and order which can should
and indeed must be enforced by public authority
upon American railroad rates.

COUNSEL FOR IMMIGRANT GIRLS.

The immense advantage to Irish Catholic fe-
male immigrants to the United States of the pro-
lection and guidance afforded by the Mission OF
Our Lady of the Rosary, State street, New York,
is well known and appreciated in Ireland as is
evidenced by one of the RESOLUTIONS" passed at
the recent meeting of the Irish Catholic Bishops
in Maynooth College in which girls intending to
onlgratc to America are thus wisely counseed:
"On landing tat Ellis island, Irish girls should
look TO the ofice4s of the Mission OF Our Lady of
the Rosary for guidance, and never trust them
selves independently to the direction OF persons
VIII offer to befriend them relatives acquaint-
ances from the some -neighborhood in Ireland"
As to trusting relatives or acquaintance, the
Bishops go on to say that apart from the danger
Of deception, which is very real one, parents at
home should recoilect that not every relative in
America is qualified in himself and his surround
ings for the responsibility of safeguarding the
unsuspecting innocence of youthful amigrants." A
truth which it is to be feared many an Irish emil
grant girl has learned by unpleasant experience

GOLDEN JUBILEE.

Rev. L. B. Palladino, S. j., one of the pioneer
priests Of Montana, will celebrate his golden jubi
lee on the 18th INST The venerable missionary has
been prominent and jealous worker in the cause
of Catholicity since his arrival in Helena in 1873.
He has been not only interchangeable worker in
erecting schools churches and hospitals but he has
distinguished himself as an able and scholarly
writer. His history of the northwest is most in
teresting and valuable for its accurate description
Of the Indian character. A work entitled MANY
Blossoms" is rich in thought and full of the beau
tiful and sublime teachings of the Bible. We speak
for the worthy priest not only the congratulations
and good wishes of his parishioners in Missoula,
but those of all Montana, who have for thirty-two
years witnessed his worth in the many monuments
of religion erected by him wherever duty called
him to labor May his years be prolonged and his
good works fruitify for many years yet to come.

Three summers ago Rev. NJ. P. Smith of the

at my first opportunity, in June Of this year,

lowed by others at Sewash Valdez, Fort Liscum

In regard to the social problems thank Bishop
Harkins for what he said of the family, and L
know the record of his Church in maintaining it.
l can only say that my own church is not far be-
hind in that matter. Above ALL Mr.. Chairman and
Rt. Rev. Bishop, a tide of materialism and secu-
larism has invaded the world and We as Christians,
must stand firm against it. No one who has read
the reports from our metropolis concerning the
men whose regulations were considered spotless
can believe that there is need for the Word of
God in our business world. Tonight, as the noble
bishop said, We must go away with new heart, with
new courage to do the work which remains TO be
done, God help us as He will.
