Hsarst's Election Expenses.

William r. Hearst has filed with the
secretary of state of New York a GER
tificate showing that he spent $685.
370.22 in his campaign for governor,
This sum does not include what he
spent prior to his nomination for xoy-
ernor, nor does 1t include the cost OF
printing and distributing hundreds OF
thousands of copies Of his newspapers.
The "editorial' part of the campaign
was begun the first of the year, and
was kept up until election day. A mem-
Der of the executive committee of the
independence League said that the
$256,370 represented only what the
league held vouchers for. OF this
sum Mr.. Hearst gave J. G. Follansbee
treasurer Of the Independence League
$1ss,S70.22; paid William J. Connors,
chairman of the Democratic state
committee, $4,000, and the candidates
travelling expenses are put down at

True Culture.

To be gracious without being pat-
ronizing ON the one hand or too gush-
ing on the other. all this requires cul-
tlvation and is not attained in a day.
That Elusive attribute known as
charm is still more difficult, If not inn
possible to achieve. 1t is not Unborn
and not to be acquired, striving never
so hard? Certain it is that this charm
is the most to be desired Of all this
good gifts the fairy godmothers hays
to bestow.
Beauty may fade and riches may
fly away and health and youth bs
swallowed up by the years as they
pass, but that charm will ever remain,
more potent, more soul satisfying, than

self.
How often does not one see this ex-
emplified in society by the popularity
OF some woman who apparently pos
sesses little or nothing to justify such
success and who nevertheless is
courted and admired and of whom
every one says, isn't she charming"
You agree that she is, and wonder
Why. Other women you know, better
looking, younger, better dressed, per-
haps-though the really charming wo-
man is never badly dressed-and vet
they lack just something which at
tracts you in the other woman as it
attracts others. What is it? you ask
yourself, and you come to the conclu-

Like Mother, Like Daughter.

A home is what a woman makes il,
says the London Catholic Weekly.
A daughter is, in nine cases out Of
every ten, the reflection of her mother.
The training Of the girl Of is is shown
in the woman of 50. A son may, by
contact with rough world, sometimes
outlive his early home influences; 81
daughter rarely does. A mothers
word, domestic proverb, told at even
tide by the quiet tireside, has been re-
called by many a women years after ii
was uttered. II thank God that my
mother told me what other women
have been taught by the world" is a
beautiful tribute to the influence of a
mother. The world has a sharp way
Of teaching its truths to a girl. Is it
not far better, then, that her mother
shold tell her with, that sweet and
sympathetic grace and gentleness
which only a mother knows? Let the
world build upon your foundation, but
do you lay the ground story. Amy
builder will tell you that the whole
strength Of a house depends upon its
foundation. The flowers most beauti-
full to the eye and sweetest to the smell
grow in good soil. The worlds nobIest
women have sprung from good homes.

Hibernians Taboo Liquor.

1t is worthy Of note that at the re-
cent banquet given in honor of Mr..
Matthew Cummings, Of this city, ma
tional president Of the A. o. H., no
spirituous liquors were served. says
the Sacred Heart Review, of Boston.
We wish this splendid example were
more generally followed at the soci-
ables held in the lesser ranks Of the
A. o. H. What is good enough at a
dinner given to the national president
ought to be good enough for the Or
binary members. We believe that the
best sentiment in Irish societies is in
favor of eschewing liquor. Another
example is that of new organiza-
ton, the Tipperary Association, of this
city, whose constitution especially
prohibits all intoxicants at any meet
ing, banquet, or any other function
held by, or under the auspices of the
Association. The Association is not a
temperance society, nor does it pre-
tend to be, but in view of the many
evils which flow from serving intoxi-
eating drink at social gatherings, it's
members decided to put the ban on it.
In this they are e1ninently sensible.
and their lead is bound to be followed
sooner or later by other organizations.

Dominican Year Book.

The Dominican Year Book for 1907
Press, Somerset, Ohio. This work is
unusually thorough, having $50 pages
devoted to religious information for
the masses, for the numerous societies
and confraternities within the Church
and the Order Of st. Dominic, historic
cal data relative to the progress of
Church work and the mission of the
Dominican Order to mankind, reviews
Of the labors Of distinguished church,
men, besides numerous literary pro-
auctions of uncommon merit. Among
these land feature of the work call
culated to give the publication more
than ordinary value, is a poem by the
famous Dominican preacher, debater
and theologian, Father Tom Burke.
Hitherto it has not been known to
the public that Father Burke, whose
genius as an orator gave him world
wide fame, had laid the Christian
world under this additional debt-but
the spirit, eloquence and zeal Of his
lines stamp them as poetry Of high
order.
The Roman and Dominican calen-
dars, new list Of indulgences and
privileges granted to Secular Tertiar-
les and recent special confraternity
legislation make the 1907 Dominican
Year Book work of SURPRISING merit.

except in some provinces, such az

sion. The peasants Of France where
Catholioity 10 strongest are not or

gram. The Democracy is prepared to
detach the nation, the family and the

That is the real spirit which actu-
ates the government. 1t is not an
effort to separate the church and
state. 1t is campaign to destroy re-
liEion. The Church in France would
be pleased to have the opportunity
that is given to tho church in this
country. The government will not al
low it. The government has despoiled
the Church of its property and refuses
to allow 1t to carry out it's mission,
unless it complies with conditions that
1t cannot submit to without surren-
dering all its authority over its own
members. The struggle will go on.
The day may not be far distant when
France will again sorely need the
Church to establish order out Of chaos.
France is not the Church, but she may
soon find, as she has found before,
that France needs tho Church.

The finest cathedral in the South

chosen for the ceremony is one just

in their sympathies and fought for
their principles; but they never

tuary. The Church is strictly nom
combattant save where the interests
Of God and her own are directly at

DEMOCRATS DISAPPOINTED.

announced that on the first Monday in
January next, Col. Frank T. Corriston
will become chief OF police; Fred Will
liams, mayors secretary, and A. D.
Evans, license inspector. Mr.. Haynes
said further that no moro appoint
nlents would be made until he had
entered upon his duties as mayor.
Throughout the city there is wide
spread disappointment among Demo-
Gratis over the selection Of the men to
I'LL the positions above named. To
the close observer Of political affairs
it becomes apparent that the mayor
elect has given much weight to the
arguments advanced by two of mis-
closest personal and political friends
in making his first batch of appoint
ments and turned a deaf ear to the en-
treaties of the numerous delegations
that called to, advance the interests Of
other candidates.
While the man named for chief Of
police was not the first choice Of The
Irish Standard. we have nevertheless
a high regard for Col. Corriston. He
is personally above reproach, has a
good military record, and has always
been a Democrat. We believe he pos
sesses the necessary qualifications to
take up the important work Of his
Office land in every endeavor to hon
estly manage. the police affairs Of this
city he will have the cordial sup
port of this paper.
In the selection of the men to I'LL tile
offices Of license inspector and mayors
secretary, it will be somewhat difficult
for the ,nayor-elect to appease the
hundreds of dissatisfied voters who
believe that personal work in behalf
fitness, dominated. The new secretary
to the mayor and the new license III
spector may after all fill the fondest
expectations of every loyal Democrat
Far be it from us to state that thoy
are not fully capable and trustworthy
There were 21,77s votes cast for Mr.
Haynes on Nov. 9Th. In making his
future appointments let us hope that
those who seemed to have the ear OF
the mayor-elect OH this occasion, will
have the good grace to refrain from,
pressing their claims for further IA
vors in order that the other 21,776 sup
porters Of MIR. Haynes may have a
chance to be heard.

THE sroRER CONTROVERSY,

An unfortunate controversy has been
going on in. the public press recently
between President Roosevelt and Bel
lamy Storer, former Ambassador to
Austria. 1t is unfortunate because it
involves persons who cannot we'll say
anything for themselves. The con-
troversy also is unfortunate because
it creates the impression that the
Catholic church is involved in politi-
cal affairs in this country. During
recent years there has been q great
amount Of talk relative to the ap-
pointment of Archbishop Ireland to the
Cardinalate. The Archbishop OF st.
Paul has been the unfortunate victim
OF friends who do moro harm than
good. Until the present controversy
camo up, the talk about Archbishop
Ireland and an appointment from Rome
has been confined to so.called Roman
correspondents. The Roman CORE
spondents, as is generally known, know
nothlng Whatever about 4na1re at the
Vatican. None Of them could obtain
an audience with the Pope ana it is
doubtful whether any Of them have
tried. Most of the correspondence
from Rome originates in some news
paper ONCE in the city of New York.
The controversy between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. storer may lead some
people to believe that Archbishop Ire
land was instrumental in enlisting the
Presidents influence in his behalf. 1t
is this feature Of the case that is par
ticularly unfortunate.
