a treaty to exclude japanese laborers
from the United States. Now he pro-
poses to make a bad matter worse
by sending battleships several thou
sands miles nearer to Japan. 1t
makes no difference under the present
conditions what the object Of the mis-
sion is. 1t will be construed by the
jingoes in Japan and America as a
war movement Perhaps the Presi-
dent is playing politics 1t may be he
is afraid California will go Democratic,
owing to the incensed condition Of the
public mind in that state. He may have
sent Metcalf, who seems to be a me-
diocre politician, back to his native
state to play the political game and
1t is not necessary for President
Roosevelt to do that. If he is trying
to control the next Republican Nation
al Convention he may rest easy. He
will control it without this stage play
1t is fortunate that the condition Of
Japan insures peace Notwithstanding
the efforts Of the war promoters in
both countries. The population of
Japan is little less than $4,000 900
The population Of the United States
is over sc,00o,0o0. According to the
statesman's year book the debt of ia
pan is 35o0000o Our debt is 1884,
100000. Japan is paying per cent.
per cent and per cent interest on
loans, While the United States pays
per cent, per cent and per cent.
Japan's revenue is less than s25o.o0o,-
900. while the revenue of the United
States is s762,ooo.o0o. Japans total
imports and exports for last year
We're s420,o0o,o00. while those of the
United States were s3.ooo,0oO,ooo. In
these figures peace loving people may
look and hope for peace. They may ex-
pect the sane and sober thought of
both countries to preserve peace not
withstanding the war promoters of
both countries.

A great deal is being said against
no doubt that organization is guilty
Of a great deal. 1t should be remem-
bered, however. that 1t was the mine
owners who Influenced the Governor
Of Colorado to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus. thus undoing in a
single moment what it has taken sew
eral centuries to accomplish. 1t should
also be remembered that it was Col
orado's Judge Advocate General who
said: ITO hell with the Constitution"
at the time that the struggle was on

it surprising that at a convention Of

archy in one place leads to anarchy
in others. The Western Federation OF
Miners are not the only culprits. The
men who were instrumental in rail-
reading some Of che leaders to Jail
are the greatest culprits. The laws
Of the country provide for the arrest
trial and sentencing of criminals and
in that way the law should be en-
forced. The suspension of habeas
corpus and the RELOCATING Of the Con-
stress leads to the establishment of a

A Virginia jury has declared a man
to be innocent Of murder who did not
deny that he had set out to kill his
victim and did so. says the Catholic
Standard and Times. The reason why
these twelve men took such a view Of
their oaths to render just and true
verdict according TO the evidence in
the case is a recognition of the prin-
ciple called 1.-The urwritten law" This
mythical law Is supposed to entitle a
man. when family honor is involved,
to take the law into his own hands
and murder the violator Of the do
restic hearth. or the person suspected
or accused. even falsely, It may be,
Of so acting. We do not believe that
this so-called "unwritten law" is a
At rule for civilized society-certainly
not for Christian society. There is no
recognition Of the law Of Christianity
in it, neither Of the pagan civil law.
Every man is given the right, under

and the avenger Of his own wrong.

1t is quite common to see distinc-
tive Irish names figuring in the busi-
ness of prize1ghting. says the Cath
Ollie Record. The impression. in con-
sequence. prevails that the sons of the
Emerald Isle are prone to follow pur-
suits of the lower order. Oftentimes
we see in the sporting page such
names as kid O'Rrien," Young Muir
ply" Jack Shea, etc, but these un-
lovely personages are frequently found
to be Germans, Italians and Poles
The same holds good in police court
circles. Some time since. the Irish
societies of New York. having made

Italian criminals had been in the habit

DANGEROUS AND FOOLISH GAME

The jingoes in the United States con-
tinue to do all in their power to pro-
mote war. The most dangerous and
meddlesome limoges are the newspa-
rers who publish all manner of con-
lectures about what would happen in
and Japan. Many of these papers are
given over to interviews with Tom.
Dick and Harry as to the comparative
strength of the navles or the best STRAIT
egg to be pursued. A Connecticut
manufacturer Of pins gives his views
upon the relative merits Of the battle
ship and the armored cruiser. A Mil
waukee brewer tells what he thinks
about the capacity of the American
seaman. An Omaha sausage maker
Is quoted at length as to the advisa-
bility Of sending the fleet to the Pa
cif1c. An alderman from the First
Ward of Chicago tells US about the
power Of resistance of the Atlantic
Notifications. This stuff is fed to the
people every morning and every even
ing and if it does not serve to create
war lit is because conditions make it
impossible.
Even the administration at Wash
ington has entered into this jingoism.
President Roosevelt is making one of
the greatest mistakes of his admins
tration by permitting rumors and con-
Trajectory statements. as to what the
United States is going to do and the
purpose of the administrations action,
to- be given out. One day Secretary
Loeb says that no squadron is to be
sent to the Pacific. A few days att

the squadron Is to proceed immediate

for the maneuver We're laid long ago
in Washington. We are told that the
administration considers it wise
craftsmanship to make a display of
and thus prevent war. The welding
OF the big stick has never before ac-
complished such a result The sending
of ships to Cuba did not prevent war
with Spain, although 1t must have been
apparent even to Spain that the naval
power of the United States was over
whelmingly superior to the Spanish
ships. The military power Of England
did not prevent the Beers from fight

TONS
President Roosevelt's handling Of the
Japanese question is the one great
mistake of his administration. 1t has
been a comedy Of errors from the
start. He meddled with the San Fran
cisco school question. which was
matter for the Courts Of California
and not for the President and the Con-
gress. He lectured Congress about
the virtues of the little brown men
and demanded citizenship for him. He

is THE CATHOLIC PRESS JUSTLY
TREATED?

The Importance Of the work Of the
Catholic press has been recognized by
the Holy Father. The faithful are
from time to time urged by their
bishops and priests to support Cath
Ole publications. This interest on the
part Of those in authority in the
Church is due to the fact that they
recognize the power for good which a
properly directed publication can ex-
ercise. There are so many demands
made upon Catholics that assuredly
the clergy would not urge the extra
burden Of subscribing for Catholic pa
pers If 1t were not for the fact that
they recognize their Importance. The
very fact that a publication is Cath
Ollie limits it's field Of work and creates
against it an insurmountable barrier
in many directions The Catholic paper
cannot expect support from non-Cath-
Ollie sources. 1t cannot expect to COM
pete with the secular press in the mat
ter Of news giving. 1t cannot take adj
vertisinE matter that Is the chief
source of revenue Of the secular press
1t cannot make Of itself an organ for
any political party or leader regard
less Of the issue or the character Of
the leader. The Catholic paper thus
starts heavily handicapped 1t would
be reasonable to suppose that the ap-
parent disadvantages Of such a paper
ought to bring to it some advantages
1t ought to be true that the very rea-
sons which limits its advertising to
lines that have the approval Of
church authorities ought to commend
i; to such readers and to the class of
advertisers averted to. but somehow
the Catholic publication Is regarded
in Catholic quarters as a philanthropy

Advices by cable go to show that
the new land war in ireland is result

contention that the people and not cat

sh-American The anticipating pros
ecuttons have advanced by steps to the
higher courts without any advantage
to the externainators. Several cases
sent to the Assizes have be-n tried
by Judges OF the high court, but ths
juries disagreed. This result was
expected by the people as in the dis
tricts where cattle driving occurs it
would be practically impossible to get
a jury to convict. The cases were in
the first instance dismissed by the
magistrates, but were sent forward on
informations by the attorney general,
who possesses further power to send
defendants trials to loyal countries,
where convictions would be almost
certain. but it is not expected that he
will take this step. 1t is regarded as
certain that majority of the cattle
drivers will experience no further In
convenience from legal poins Of view
than their appearance before the bcnc!,
