OUR LIBERTIES.

One of the most overworked words in our Ian
guage is liberty. The demagogue is always look
ing out for our liberties, as though some one IN
tended to run off with them. The agitator is de-
prived of his liberties when he is compelled to obey
the law that others must obey. Nobody seems to
know Just what our liberties are we have so many
but we often hear about assaults upon them The in
herltance tax is such assault, according to some
But everybody coming under the operation of that
law has another great American liberty still left
undefled-that of lodging the tax. The presi-
dents suggestion that the inheritance tax should
bear more heavily those residing out of the coun-
try than on those residing in it is another assault
on American liberties. Indeed, whatever is done
or is not done is construed by somebody as an en-
croachment on the palladium of our liberties. This
has been going on for so many years that our
liberties to have got used to being encroached
upon or trampled under foot But they bob up
serenely every time. It's kind of way they have
so we have never got real pessimistic or gloom=
about them.
Our liberties really vital, however But
they belong to all in common, and when soma
one tries to corral them, be assured that fellows
neighbor will report him to the police. He won't
be allowed to brand them and cali them his own.
Our liberties are guaranteed by the law and the
constitution. When some one violates the law, he
is hunted up and made to pay the penalty as the
law provides. As long as our liberties are not in
more danger from lawlessness than they now are.
we feel cause for alarm that they are being
taken from us.

FRANCIS MURPHY.

The death of Francis Murphy at Los Angeles
last Sunday took from the world one of the strong
est advocates of temperance this country ever had
His lectures on the evils of the liquor habit which
he delivered in nearly every village and town in
America, were strong protest against the indis-
criminate pse of liquor as a beverage and a plea
for reform4p those who had already acquired the
habit. Pre- ably no one knows how many people,
young andHId, including the innocent and sodden.
were mpeled to Sign the pledge by the eloquence
of Mr. Murphy, and the ardor of his pleading His
methods at times may have been spectacular, but
that they brought happiness to thousands through
the reformation of victims of drink there can be
no doubt.
The press dispatches announcing the death Of
the famous blue ribboner said it was Mr. Muir
phys desire to live hundred years, because he
felt that he helping to do Gods work in his
efforts to get to abstain from the liquor habit
He died at Il years of age, so his wish was not re-
allied But his memory will be blessed by thou
sands whose lives have been frightened and IN
whose homes the blight of drunken husband and
father removed, and tears of sorrow and de-
spair and hopelessness gave way to the smiles of
hope and three square meals day before the magic
of his eloquence.
Francis Murphy might not have been great
man as the world measures greatness but the cause
to which he devoted many years of his life is
great cause, and he did much to further it.

THE INTERMoUNTAN AND COLORADO CATHOLIC: JULY g. 1907

collective wisdom of the house of commons has at
last reports been unable to fix definite age at
which puppy becomes dog.
Some man with more desire to settle the ques-
ton than to settle it right suggested that six
months be fixed as the age limit at which dogs
would be permitted to live without collar and
license. This suggestion met with distinct and
tervld objection that some dogs at six months are
large enough to feast upon the gentle lambkin or
to nip piece from the calves of passersby and
escape deserved punishment, and it was the intent
of the law to make the owner of such erring ca
mines responsible in money way for such dam
ages. So the problem was argued pro and con- and
no agreement was reached
1t IS deep subject worthy of hours of par
hamentary debate, and we trust the house of com
mons will give it weighty consideration. The de
clslon will be waited with anxiety if for no other
reason than that precedent will be established
upon which to base future action IN case ali litter
national dispute should arise from this vexing
proposition - ~

quent trips to Harrisburg, where Pennsylvania has
a state house with a graft attachment. 1t all
came about through decision of the United States
supreme court that government employees are en-
titled to charge tips to Pullman porters as Iegti-
mate expense of travelling. Thus, to the mind Of
the porter, the tip has become legalized, and We
may soon expect a schedule of tips to be paid TO
be prominently displayed in each Pullman car in
the country. For carrying a grip to the proper
seat, 10 cents. For pleasant look % cents. For
civil answer, 81 don't know, boss" 25 cents Etc

LATE FRENCH CRISIS.

About two weeks ago it seemed to a casual OBJ
server as if France was to add another to the
revolutions with which she has been afflicted since
the fatefu year of 1889. Premier Clemenceau, it
would now appear, has successfully weathered the
storm. He has gained vote of confidence in the
chambers and he is now stronger than any public
man since the days of M. Constant. This is not
saying that France is blessed with strong and
wise administration Never since Napoleon came
back from Egypt to turn out of power those whom
he termed 'the Imbeciles," has France or any civ
zed nation for that matter, been cursed with such
a lot of foolish rulers.
If an official of the civil service, and more espe-
cialy an officer of the army or navy is known to
attend to his religious duties, he is quietly passed
when his time for promotion comes A sys-
TEN of espionage, intolerabe to high-spirted peo
pie, is openly practiced and defended by the gov
eminent. And yet the majority of Frenchmen, in
spite of all the efforts which their rulers max
ing to wean them from the practice of the Chris
tan religion, still believe in the faith which their
forefathers received 1,400 years ago. During all
that long period France has taken leading part in
science, in art, and in literature She has been
foremost in carrying the excellent knowledge of
Christ to heather lands.
When all this is considered one may ask why
do Frenchmen allow men who loudly proclaim that
Christianity is a detrment to the human race to
rule over them. The answer is plain. Christian
France is divided; nfdel France is united. Chris
tan France is torn by jealousies by dynasties, by
conflicting interests, but above ALL by leaders who
know not the times nor the hours.
When all Frenehmen who are not socialists or
anarchists realize that revolutions are out of date
as means of betterment, there Will then be true
republic in France.

DOGMATISM.

There are times in the course of human events
when question seemingly trivial battles solution
by the wisest heads of nation. They have such
question in England just now, 1t is this When
does member of the canine family cease being
puppy and become dog? In other words, at what
age does puPpyism enter into the nobility of dog
matism, or when does the CAMS Minor become the
CAMS Major?
1t all cd me about by law passed in 1905 which
required ag dogs to wear collars. Dog owners pro-
tested that puppies not dogs either in fact or
in the inte ut of the law, to which the authorities
agreed Then came the difficulty Various boards

whole thing was passed up to parliament, and the

WE MUST FORGIVE.

Ever since the Catholic church was Institute,
it has been the object of denuncaton. In the ear
lier days this took the form of direct attacks IN
Christianity, but since the reformation these at
tacks have been guided largely by men protesting
Christianity but at the same time holding the
church founded by Jesus Christ up to scorn and
ridicule. 1t is natural for those who have found
in Catholcity the direct answer to the questions
of the soul which they had sought in vain in other
channels should attempt defenses of what they be-
believe is the only logical church representing God
and Jesus Christ on earth In presenting their
defenses, their work has very, generally been to re-
fute the errors of Professionalism and not to show
the truths of Cathocity only in so far as those
truths necessarily brought forward in showing
where Professionalism erred. Most of the discus
sion, therefore, to the respective merits of Prot
estantism and Catholicism, has been dry reading
for the layman either SIDE and has not been ac-
tive in winning the hearts of the people to either
side OF the controversy. 1t has probably been
active cause in keeping people away from God.
The natural wants and cravings of the heart of
man, the ideal to which it aspires and which Is
cherished above all earthly things, not satisfied
by any defense assault upon any church pur
porting to represent the work of God. refuta-
ton of the errors Of non-Catholics cannot answer
the questions of one lettering around in the dark
ness of unbeief entangled in a mass of polem-
zeal assaults upon Professionalism. Rather do dis
cussions of religious problems, that is, the abstruse
and complicated ones which arise among men com
petent to discuss them add to the bewilderment and
dazed condition of the honest seeker for satisfaction
of the wants and needs which every human heart
must crave. That Catholicity satisfies the craving
for supernatural help is more to the point. The
effort expended in presenting the logic of the
church as founded by Jesus Christ would as eff
fectually answer the attacks upon the church, and
at the same time instruct and interest those whose
natural desires make them feel the need of knowl-
edge of God.
No matter what the physical outlook and spirit
ual condition of individuals, there are many who
seek but the truth and whose aim is to live higher
life. No matter how false the premises upon
which they found their faith, they not deserving
of the sneers of an unsympathetic world. They
have most of them retained some of the truth as
it has been handed down from the days of Christ
to the present by the Catholic church, and all
Christians should rejoice that even so little of the
true faith is known to them. While they are all
seeking an answer to questions of the SOUL the duty
