The heavy increase in the number
of cases which began four or five
days ago is beginning to manifest
itself in the death list, which can be
expected to grow gradually for the
next few days. The number of new

really nineteen short, as that num-

BISHOP SPALDlNG STILL LIVES.

The announcement of his death instead of slow
recovery from paralytic stroke is what expected
to give the reader concerning Rt. Rev. John Ian

1t should be the real evening of life, the hour be-

meowness of age harmonizes with the scintilations
of the sunset rejecting the beauty of soul upon the
bosom of an intellectual sea.
Bishop Spalding did not chose slumber when
the world around him was awake and doing the
things that counted not for the soul. His vision
comprehended all things and his mind anal wed

for social upheaval stimulated the effort he made
for its correction. His presentation of facts
plain and simple. He spoke for the common people,

of the United States. But better as it is. As the

Spaldng he has attracted to him the best intellect
of America. Wherever he has spoken his auditors
were authors, writer's teachers, they were just
the common people. For each he had message.
For all he had peace
The brief news we have from Peoria says the
unhappy developments in the affairs of the Cath
ollie University at Washington, which owed its ex-
istence to him, and in the management of which
he has had much responsibility, are said to have
worried him considerably. The sudden and strange
detection from the church of his ward and convert
the marquise de Monsters, also worried him. and
the frequent trips he made to Washington to con-
suit with officials regarding the financial condition
of the university have weighed upon him heavily

among the earliest to send message of sympathy,
and this was followed by messages from Cardinal
Gibbons, Archbishop ireland, Archbishop Keanc

ether prominent persons took occasion to express
their sympathy.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Golfers for December 81 claims that some of
the leading railway presidents realize that to dodge
reasonable regulation is to prepare for drastic
attacks or government ownership in the future
The more liberal-minded of them would be salts
fled to see stricter control of rates. we'll the
abolition of rebates, if they should be sure of
competent commission and proper facilities for
trial, and especially if they could secure the re-
mova of the generally discredited provision
against pooling. If rates are strictly regulated.
pooling is natural and harmless step in the profit
able working of competing lines.
The phenomenon of the day that is doing most
to educate the business world to acquiesce in some
government control is the gain made by the senti-
ment for public ownership. In Canada it seems
to be growing even more rapidly than here one
suggested reason being that vested interests are
less powerful there. In Toronto Ottawa. and
Hamilton municipal ownership of street railways
Is the heading issue, and the relation of the Domn-
ion government and the Ontario provincial govern
ment to the building and operation of railroads is
very radical from an American point of view Chi
cago is likely to have lively fight on municipal
ownership in the spring. Each step in public own
ership affects the general frame of mind. When
street railways publicly owned steam railways
are more likely to be PUBLIC owned also. 1t is a
mood that travels fast. A leading Toronto paper
says that in no other direction has public opinion in
Canada moved fast of late years as it has in re-
gard to public ownership.
Public opinion which is made by gas or cleo
trio companies will spread over into transportation
All along the line of monopoly in the necessary
things of life the people will have better treatment
or they will one day run such things altogether.
Therefore, all citizens (including capitalsts) who
believe in indiyidualism private enterprise and as
little government as may be, should welcome the re-
moval of abuses which threaten to give sharp inn
pulse in the direction of extended government OPP
erations and diminished field for private in

ENGLISH BRIDE FOR SPANISH ING.

If a marriage should be arranged between King
Alfonso of Spain and the Princess Victoria Pat

PLEADS FOR CHILD LIFE.

In the course of his New Year sermon New
Years day, after High Mass in the Cathedral in
Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons denounced practices
that tend to lessen the birthrate, condemning es|
pecially physicians who lend themselves to such
methods
He said in part:
God created man in his own image and likeness
the scripture declares to us. This fact that the
divine impress is stamped the human soul in
vests him with moral grandeur all his own. The
church, therefore, proclaims the dignity of human
life.
"She sets no mercenary price on man. Great
in her estimation is the dignity of the citizen, but
still greater is the majesty of the While he has
certain responsibilities toward the state i'll which
he lives, he possesses an inherent dignity indepen

The infant born yesterday into the world the

precious in the sight of God and of his church.
for within the body of the helpless babe, of the
decaying old man and of the deformed creature,
there dwells an immortal spirit.
Religion procaiTns him a child of God and
a brother of Jesus Christ redeemed by his precious

stronger claims he has upon sympathy and

From Jerusalem comes news that ''the Greek
Christian observances in the groto of the nativity
of Bethlehem marked by sharp fight between
Greek and Latin clergy, arising from the old-time
jealousy regarding protection of the grotto. The
Greek patriarchs celebrating midnight mass
when Franciscan monks created disturbance. A
collision ensued resulting in some bloodshed. The
governor had TO be summoned to quell the roting"
1t is sad reflection upon the reputed sanctity of
religious orders that such things are allowed to
continue upon every recurrence of the Christmas
festival. Catholic sentiment is outraged and little
inclined to bear the odum cast upon the universal
church by these unruly friars. Put them in pen

poles by the hundred thousand. Proprietors OF
factories whose operating power depends upon
abundant water in rivers and streams have eH-
changed views with government agents who are con-
cerned in the transformation of treeless wastes
into forested areas Western mining men who
need timber for Snoring their tunnels have met
Eastern men who want national park IN the
southern Appalachians A general community OF
interest, springing from variety of sources has
been clearly and definitely recognized.
From the earliest days OF the settlement of this
auntry there has been reckless waste OF our forest
resources, observes the New York Sun. Vast as our
timber resources are, rather as they were, they
are not nexhaustibe and the end of our supply for
commercial purposes is matter of approximate
calculation. But an exhaustion which would affect
the next generation is far from the only point OF
national concern. The present generation Is only
less menaced by the rapid destruction of forests and
forest areas.
Within decade the price of lumber. according
to the nature of the wood and the grade of the
material has advanced from 25 to 80 per cent. his
advance is here to stay. 1t adds to the cost of
house building furniture and railway construction,
of barrels and packing cases III which merchandise
is shipped and of all that endless list OF articles
of which wood forms the whole part. This
affects materially the people of the present genera
ton.
We need not only forest protection, but also Tor
est creatiop-protection of existing areas, refor-
estaon of denuded areas and creation OF new areas
and the efforts of the American Forest association
to accomplish these results should receive the full
est support of both the people and the government.
As General Charles II. Henderson said in his
address at the Washington congress, "sentimental-
ism and commercalism go hand in hand in the
saving of forests"

To the complaint of Chicago merchants that
young men no longer possess moral character the
Religious Education association proposes to create
character through the study of moral philosophy
and urges its teaching in colleges and universities
Of what benefit is the study of ethics if the student
fails to profit by its teaching 1t is not study but
practice which goes to make the moral man. Reli-
gion and morals cannot be disassocated; hence
both are excluded from the curriculum of the pub
lie school. The flower of moral philosophy must
bud in the kindergarten before it is transplanted
to the university. The good intentions of the Reli-
gious Education association of Chicago will bear
no fruit. ltbegins its blowing at the wrong end of

CALIFORNIA TRADITION Exp1oDED.

About this season of the year the reviewers of
California's development recall with JUNCTION the
first discovery" of gold in the tail race OF Suffers
mill by Marshall. As matter of fact, knowledge
of the existence of the precious metal in California
was current at a much earlier date as the ofTcis
records of Mexico show. Mr.. John T. DOYLE. writ
ing to Judge Coffey, president of the California
Historical society at the time of the meeting OF
that Organization in November last. states that
quilts Of gold dust were sent to Boston by certain
American settlers in what is now the state OF Cali
fornia. as carly as 1928. He says no Importance
seems to have been attached to the knowledge as it
was never followed up. He quotes from an old doc
ument published in Mexico i'll 1914. in which Don
Manuel Gastanares. deputy from the territory to
the Mexican congress, details the condition OF the
placer mining industry then recently developed in
certain Localities in California. There is tradi-
ton that appears to rest a pretty solid founda-
ton of fact that the Spanish padres very soon aft
er coming to California learned of the existence of
gold. but refused to turn the knowledge to account

moralized through the rush of fortune-seekers

The thought that under the cobblestones of
Salt Lakes streets rests layer of soil upon which
footprints of the ancient Aztecs may be traced,
should make us forget all our troubles over Smoot
and organize common brotherhood of the Monte
yuma. 1t is learned that Catholic priest in the
City of Mexico is preparing data for book on
the origin of the Aztec race He is spoken of as
Father Cortes, and the greatest living authority
on Aztec history. Father Cortes declares that the
race undoubtedly originated in that portion of the
