VIGILANCE IS
NOW URGED BY
BISHOP FEEHAN

Fall River. Aug. 2.--In a circular letter
TO the priests OF the diocese. Bishop Fee
han says:
II come with no new message to you.
come to correct no abuses. to institute
no reforms, to punish no guilty persons,
but to greet and encourage a holy and
united priesthood. and through this
priesthood to endeavor 10 spread the
diocese
what, indeed, is the two-fold object OF
our priesthood but 10 promote the glory
OF God and the sanctihcation of souls?
Who that should be an alter Christus
does not rejoice at sacrifices borne TO
make Gods name better known and 10
see his fellow-man raised higher In the
ingdom OF God?
1--WE are, unfortunately living in an age
Of much religious disbelief, an age In
which men, under the pretentious name
OF philosophical or scientific research dare
10 raise their brows against the authority
OF Gods word and OF Gods church. Ours
IL Is, as Gods priests, 10 safeguard his
honor and protect our people from the
impious stupidity OF such pretended
knowledge by prayer, by holy example
and by preaching in season and out OF
season."

An o-China Mystery

The great mystery about Tndo-China and
one which must ever be insoluble, is the
story OF the lost race and the vanished
civilization OF that strange country. The
mighty walls Of Anglor- Wat. rising IN the
midst Of sparsely settled tungles, remain
as the memorial OF a great empire which
has utterly disappeared and is altogether
lost TO history. No one will ever know
who planned this gigantic temple or what
tyrant bounded on his myriads OF people
90 build up those immense blocks OF stone
and cover them with the most elaborate
sculptures. Angkor-wat was one OF the
most astonishing monuments In the world
and this forgotten temple was built 90 az
to endure as long as the earth itself were
A not for the erresistbly destructive ef-
feet OF plant life on the strongest walls
that -afn can raise.

FRENCH NAVY
TRY-0UT NEW
FLEET TACTICS

Paris, Aug 2.-The naval committee
which attended the recent maneuvers of
the French fleet In the Mediterranean
when the new fleet tactics were given a
test. has made its report. II is under
stood that the committee highly COM
mends Admiral Fournier's treories, but
believing that before their adoption they
should be modified to overcome the diff
culties experienced and given a further
trial.
Neither signals. nor the compass are
used In these new tactics. The ships do
no act as units. but maneuver in groups
of three. They are assigned to the points
of an imaginary isosceles triangle and
maneuver automatically in accordance
with the evolutions of the flagship. AS
the old system of tactics is considered by
the committee to be inapplicable to mod
ern naval warfare. the group system is
regarded as important. All the navies OF
the world. the committee declares, are
working out new systems of feet evolu.

SPLIT LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS

A novel idea is embodied in a pro-
posed constitutional amendment now
pending in the legislature 1t is a
proposition to split the legislative ses-
sion into two parts-one of twenty and
the other for forty days, with an in
terval of ninety days.
The promoter of this idea argues
that at is impossible for any mortal
to give to all the bills that are intro
duced here a proper consideration; if
the Legislators We're to meet for twenty
days. introduce all the bills and then
adjourn for ninety days. each member
could study the bills, consult with his
constituents and take the advice of the
various organizations representing la
Dor, commerce, finance, social and pro-
fessiOnal affairs"
After thus digesting the mass of leg
islation proposed in the first part of
the session the statesmen would be
equipped for intelligent action in the
latter part, according to the view of
the author of this program. AS he says,
would have an opportunity to talk
to his senator or his assemblyman
about proposed legislation"
If there were any need for means of
facilitating legislative graft the plan
thus outlined would present advan-
tages from the grafter's standpoint.
The statesman with an itching palm
would have ample time to CONFER
with persons interested in proposed leg
islation during the recess of ninety
days. Incidentally there would be a
considerable addition to the revenue
of each legisaor in the way of addi-
tioual mileage the allowance for which
is about three times the actual cost
TO the member, to say nothing of the
chances of free transportation on aC-
count Of services to the railway COM
pauy
If the average legislator gave more
thought TO his official duties and less
10 the allurements peculiar to a state
capital he would have sufficient time
outside the legislative halls, to study
bills. II has never been thought neces-
sary for congress to split its sessions
in order that members might have
leisure TO "coufer" outside about meas
ures before that body.
If a California legislator finds the
mental strain of a continuous session
of sixty days sufficient to upset his in
telectual equilibrium ne has the salts
faction of knowing that he may resign
