in DEFENSE OF THE KNOCKER.

In all the wide world there doesn't seem to be
single person who will say good word or do a
kind thing for that most unfortunate and most
desirable citizen-the Knocker. Poor fellow, he is
bufeted and kicked about, ripped and torn and
cuffed by everybody until he has no place wherein
he may find rest and solace from the cares of
careless world. And why should everybody knock
the Knocker? Why should the chorus put the anvil
chorus of III Trovatore" to shame9 For is not the
Knocker part and parcel of our expensive civil
zation an essential to the completeness of the econ
omy of the world2 Who was it made the Knocker
and gave him his job?
Surely no man in these days of our prosperity
has any legitimate reason to throw aside the tacitl
understanding that for his labor he shall be paid
good wage and Immediately give up all he has for
food and coal and clothing wherewith to clothe his
nakedness. He handles the money, and if he be
judicious and his family is not too large, at the
weeks end he might find himself possessed of a
couple of dollars with which to pay his poll tax.
The Knocker is ah undesirable citizen. He sees
his brother, the Booster looking the price list
of commodities, and the effects of the boosting
more apparent to him every time bill is rendered
He sees several Boosters organizing band, each
with trumphet, and after the flourish of trumpets
the band fourishes and grows and wakes strong
with increased profits
The Knocker, pc pr fellow, is the one who is
bumped. His refrain is dismay out of tune with
the joyous song of the Booster They both started
in the natural key, but the meditation of one went
fiat, and the other sharp. So there is discordant
noise, with no rhyme nor rhythm to it, and the dis
sonance will continue throughout the gamut of
keys until finally they both return to the natural
one and the present dsagreeable noise will blend in
perfect harmony.
So don't be unjust II the Knocker He is sim
ply uttering protest to too much boosting-the
kind of boosting that is making quite much noise
and that is as incompatible with harmonious exis-
tence as are his own dismal croakings

WHERE THE CHURCHES FAIL.

Bishop Potter, the Protestant spiritual head of
the Episcopal church of New York. may not always
be wise in his methods but his point of view as re-
CARDS the function of the Protestant churches is
right and his purpose commendable. At Chautau-
qua, not long ago, in an address on "The Church
and the Social Problem" he arraigned the church
for 'its indifference to the physical mental and
social needs of the working people" 1t is righte-
arrai gnment and to which the leaders would
do well to give most earnest heed. The bishop of
whose intellectual standing and education there
can be no doubt, fails to inform us what he means
by "the church." Does he include in 'the church,
all the Heterogeneous and UNCONVENTIONAL sects &C.
cupying the religious territory lying between the
lowlands of Agnosticism and the highlands of the
Ritualistic element in his own church2 If so. the
bishop must to be consistent admit spiritual af-
fnity between Episcopalianism and those sects
which deny Christ come in the flesh" and which
St. John tells us are of anti-Christ We can ex-
cuse the loose Technology of the ordinary news
paper and magazine writer's who have not been
trained to the correct application of ecclesiastical
terms but we look for accuracy of expression and
precision of words when bishop does us the honor
to instruct US. We take it, however, that Bishop
Potter means the leaders of the different churches
when he charges "the church, with Indifference to
the physical. mental and social needs of the peo-
pie.
The reason for this indifference to the social
problem the part of the Protestant churches is
not strange or far to seek. For the most part the
churches are as yet scarcely aware that there is
social problem, or what it means, that they are
in any degree responsible for its solution. The
creeds of the churches are almost untouched bv
the sociological conditions which have, in

BUSINESS WELL OILED.

Revelations made in the trial of the Standard
Oil company startling to the layman and serve
to show what naughty, naughty trust can do when
it tries to serve the public with no competition.
Profits aggregatng half billion dollars were made
in the eight years from 1899 to 1906 And yet some
people insult the whole world of business and trade
by remarking that this is good business. Good bus
mess, indeed Then are we to infer that there is
no obligation the business man owes to the world
in return for profits grown beyond all reason2 Is
it possible that business considers nothing worth
while save only profits and high percentage of in
terest on money invested?
No doubt that is the opinion of many men in
business, mot for their health" The case of the
Standard Oil company is one of good business
run riot If that company has carried its business
to such perfection to make 900 to 1000 per cent
profit annually, as testified to in the case Of pipe
line subsidiary of the Standard surely this is get
ting pretty perfection in the business world.
-Four million dollars profit on an investment of two
millions is another feature which ought to bring
before the good" business world visions of such
surprising fairness as to overwhelm its devotees
But all this is not good business 1t isn't bust
ness at all, but just plain grand larceny. The
great body of American common people have been
robbed, plundered, visited in the night when they
burned kerosene lamp, not by bold bad man
dear me, but they had a fraction of a cent,
oh so small fraction, lifted from their pockets
every hour, every minute they basked in the light
of their own kerosene lamps.

GLOOM.

A street preacher with the gift of CAB and a
straggly beard held forth on our streets last week.
presenting to a smallsized audience a harangue
intended to lead men away from wickedness into
paths of righteousness and uprightness His talk
rather rambling, controversial and somewhat
vindctive, and he seemed nettled that none of his
hearers would enter into any debate with him upon
the subject of religion. He denounced hypocrisy,
he condemned sham and with special eagerness
sought to convince his hearers that the world was
all awry. Numerous scriptural citations and quo
tations from other sources were employed to show
human Deficiencies, and he charged the clergy of
the Christian churches with exploiting and foster
ing beliefs which cannot be logically defended
The street preacher is type which periodically
makes its appearance and departs again no man
knows whittier The late Alexander Dowie fur
nishes exception to the rule He attracted
body of followers and built up great colony, but
his success may be attributed more to chance and
a spectacular dialectc style than to a strong pre-
sentation of the truth.
Personally we have no objection to the street
preacher type. True, they are men of not well
balanced mentality usually, and their views of the
particular phase of the religious question to which
they give attention sometimes startling, yet
impelled to enter a mild protest to the
gloom which pervades their presentation of Chris
tianity, no matter how unconvinced or convinced
may be of their sincerity of the truth of their
adroit sophstry. It may be stated as almost tru-
ism that when man gets upset in his religious
convictions he conceives it his first duty to upset
everybody else. Thus the fellow who is convinced
that Gods footstool is failure goes about with
apologies for the handiwork of the Almighty, and
every time he gives utterance to his dismal SEN
timents his conviction becomes stronger. Failure
has attractions to anybody normally constituted
and to mpute failure the result of the creative
work of the Author of the Universe is as near
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1907-10-05

blasphemous as is the questioning doubt of unbe-
| levers.
In the first place, religion is a normal aspira-
ton of the heart and mind of man. 1t has been
pointed out by so many writers that among even
the races lowest in our scale there exists a re-
hgious instinct that there is no room for contro-
versy. Christianity is the true religion, amply
demonstrated by the progress and enlightenment
which humanity under its benign influence has
made While there is much unbelief in the world,
still the race, and even those doubling ones, ab
solutely under the domination of the conditions
which the church of God imposes. Mankind with
out God could not progress. As could not go
some place without starting somewhere, it is evil
dent that destination and destiny must be
liked by something immovable, some power or force
outside of yet intimately connected with man. This
power guides the planets in their course yet marks
the sparrows fall. This power is God, the Creator
and Ruler of all things. What the Great God has
wrought it is not for mortals to find fault with
He gave the earth as temporary habitation
and it is a good place to live 1t is cheerful
place, too, if we can overlook the discomforts
kind imposes on itself.
So in the presentation of Christian principles
it is well to seek the positive and hold before the
world the cheerful optimism which characterized
the Son of God rather than the gloomy despair
which has been written into the religion of man
kind by mankind itself. The error of the street
preacher type is too much pessimism, too much
harangue, too much misinterpretation of God and
Gods work. Before entering into the solemn work
of teaching, the type needs to learn to be child
of God, taught and schooled in the atmosphere of
love which came down from heaven and surround
ed the ministrations of the Savior. Gloom is not
religion 1t is not any part of religion Effective
work of any kind starts in the joy of life which
makes the birds sing and makes the innocence of
childhood so admirably beautiful.

ELECTION TIME.

Salt Lake is to have an election in November
Tor municipal officers. Without in any way at
tempting to prejudice our readers for or against
any party or candidate, it is interesting 10 note
the efforts Of the leaders of tie various factions
to prove the ether fellow scamp Each 7rty
lauds itself and its candidates and hopes to Ia'I
the offices. Aftec the e,ct.cn there will be great
joy and great Lamentations but the city viii go on
just the same There probably will be no more IL
competency or dishonesty in the public service ia
the future than there has been in the past and we
will continue to have about as many improbable
charges of graft and corruption
Under these circumstances we advise everybody
to vote. 1t doesn't make very much difference
whom you vote for, but get out and whoop things
up. Then if you win, all right; and if you lose,
all right again.
What Salt Lake City needs, in common with
about every other municipality of the country, is
change in the system of government by parties,
and not a change or continuation of one party in
power Our cities have grown in spite of the whole
bad business of partisan management of their af
fairs. Empty treasures, bonded Indebtedness and
high taxes are not common to one or two cities,
but to nearly all. The people are getting as good
government as they deserve. So get out on cleo
ton day and vote. It is your duty. And then just
think how happy the successful candidates viii be
until they take office and are classed with the
grafters by their friends, the defeated candidates
and their followers Be sure to vote in November.

RELIGIOUS DISUNlON.

Editor Intermountain Catholic: Dear Sir
Pardon for once more intruding myself you
The Bible which have read and reread seems to
be the great object Of contention, book of dis
union instead of uni n. Protestant and Catholic
claim they read it, though | have heard and read
that Catholics are not allowed to read it. But this
I will pass over, and will ask: Why having the
same law, there shodld be so many differences?
Why do not Protestadts and Catholics unite forces
and present a solid pAalanx to the enemies of God
and religion9 Why preach charity, peace and
goodwill and practice the opposite? Is not this
supplying the enemies of religion with material
to justify their revolt against God and religion?

seem very inconsistett and a courteous reply
would be deemed faEor
