WAR AND PRIZE FIGHTS.

Geneva conventions and The Hague conferences
on the one hand and the rules formulated by the
! Marquis Of Queensberry the other have com
! bined to make combat of nations and individuals
for prizes an honorable calling. A number of years
ago John L. Sullivan went around this country de
flying any man to meet him. He pounded up a
good many bruisers and bullies who accepted his
def, all to the qualification of himself and follow
ers, who each day spent the proceeds in festivity
and riotous living Then he met his Waterloo in
the person of a gentleman named Corbett After
term of years, the title of champion has descend
ed unto one James j. Jeffries who now is privileged
to encompass his paunch in the championship belt.
All of which is enlightening and eevating to man
kind. Jeffries can throw out his chest with pride
He is it,
The good humor of the delegates to the peace
conference at The Hague is not exceeded by that
Of the prize fight promoters but the conference is
sadly lacking in the business acumen displayed by
the pugiistic fraternity Before pugs go to battle
they have certain definite prize to fight for and
they invite spectators at much per seat to wit
ness the bloodshed. They also have definite rules
and a referee to watch them, and timer and other
officials whose business it is to see that everybody
gets square deal.
But when nations go to war, they fight for d
prize the value of which is indefinite And when
war is not agitating the world, nations send men
to conferences to endeavor to proven. it. but also
to formulate rules for the conduct of international
bouts. War must be refined and according to
rules just like prize fights. We don't want any
common street brawl in cities; it is contrary
to the dignity and peace of the municipalities SO
with war. We must first have prize in view and
then go at it like gentlemen. And when it is all
settled as to which nation is champion it retire
with dignity and tell the other fellows to go out and
get reputation before issuing challenge. Uncle
Sam hasn't been licked yet, and neither has the
likely young conner of the Orient but both nations
are in course of training and it probably will soon
be all fixed up the championship can be settled
In the meantime your Uncle Sam is quite pulled
up, with the odds at 10 to in his favor.

Great Lakes canal building has been virtually at
stondstiTl There are few minor canals through
ont Ohio. Indiana and New York, and the Chicago
drainage canal but practically nothing has been
dome to make waterways capable of carrying heavy
freight. And some of those already built have had
to fight condemnation proceedings and criticism
that they we're an antiquated and nearly useless
method of carrying freight, and they probably owe
their existence today to the fact that their waters
furnish power for innunerable mills and factories
along their
In this connection President James j. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad recently pointed out thu
need of system of canals to relieve the railroads
of increasing business which they cannot handle
He says that while the business of the railroads IN
creases about u per cent year. the facilities Tor
handling it increase but per cent. 10 relieve
this increasing burden on the railroads Mr. Hill
suggests a deepened channel for the chief rivers
and canalizing of waterways which do not naturally
have sufficient water for navigation. European
nations. notably Germany, are extending their ca
mails with the definite purpose Of relieving railroad
congestion.
And so Robert Futon's dream has come true,
ard more than true. The Great Lakes and the Mis-
sissippi have made many commercial possibilities
which our country could never have enjoyed with
out them. In the future development of our natural
waterways and in the building of great canals lies
the solution of the problem of freight transporta-
ton How much of this the country owes to Rob
ert Fulton and his dream, none can say. From
1907 to 1907 is broad expanse filled with wonder
full achievement Could look a hundred years
into futurty we would equally wonderful works,
but back of it all there must be the genius to break
away from customary modes of doing things. In
steam navigation and the advocacy of inland water
ways Robert Fulton then as now must be recognized
as the who made possible the present develop
ment, and the one to whom honor is forever due

DECAY OF MARRIAGE.

Christian marriage, to which we referred in our
last issue in answer to query of one of our read
ers is one of the most important institutions of re-
igion 1t is the oldest religious institution. being
established by God in Paradise, Wherefore man
shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to
his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh" To
cement this union, and intensity the love and ten
der affection of the married couple marriage is
blessed by God Only in this Christian sense
where marriage is sanctioned by God and elevated
to'the dignity of sacrament will the love and af-
lection of the married couple persevere through
life
Its primary object is the family, which is the
social unit and the foundation of society. Being
the foundation of society and sanctioned by Cod
1t follows that marriage is holy also that it is one
and indissoluble. What God ordains must be holy
When Christ by his presence, honored the happy
couple at the marriage in Cana we may truly infer
that they were no longer twain but one, that they
were made unit by the true medium of union,
viz, the sanction and blessing of God
Marriage divorced from religion, and blessed
by God is and always has been the great source of
moral corruption. To begin, marriage being the
foundation of the family must be sanctifed by re-
hgion. If not then the family becomes corrupt,
and will in the natural order of things become ex-
tinct. SO it was with the renowned nations of an
tiquity when they separated from the synagogue
They lost sight of the sacredness of the family,
the social order became corrupt and in time became
extinct
The attitude and teaching of the Catholic
church regarding the sanctity, unity and indisso-
utility of marriage is well known the world over
The reformers, in the sixteenth century took issue
with her teaching on these points. They denied
that marriage indissoluble, and took away It's
sacramento character. The evil consequences, as
time went became greater, and today we witness
the sad results, and perhaps nowhere more than in
our own country. Divested of its sanctity and re-
duced to a mere civil contract, which may be an
nuled at any time, marriage has come down to the
same low place that it in pagan times. The sad
consequences resulting from this state of affairs
may be in the reports of the daily press
of the numberless divorces in every state in the
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1907-08-17

union, the remarriages of divorced persons, the
dissemination of the young to marry or if married
to be honorable fathers and mothers as ordained
by God.
But why this Discrimination to marry and aver
sion to family! Many causes may be assigned for
BOTH but the great cause is that Christian prin-
clples and religious sentiments are dying out in
the hearts of the masses of the people. Why do so
many marriages prove a failure? Because they are
not entered into with proper motives. Sensual
love- not that spiritual love arising from the desire
to do Gods will directs most people in their choice
Tor partner for life, and not knowing how long
the union may last and for convenience sake the
burden of family must be avoided. These evil
tendencies, which are increasing every year would
disrupt IN time the greatest nation that ever ex-
listed, yet they continue unchecked and without re-
hglon no moral strain can be introduced to stem
the deadly poison that is causing family decay and
loss of national prestige and greatness. To per-
petuate these national characteristics the first step
IS to restore marriage to its primitive Christian
sense, give it its religious character and make it
the foundation of the family.

fallible spiritual teacher has far Offset any tenn
poral good that might have been accomplished by
the reformation
The agitation for reunition can do no harm and
it might result in great good After four centuries
of misguided teaching, a return to Christ and His
Church would give the world a tremendous spirit
ual uplft, but it will take long years to overcome
the evil growth which has been planted by four
hundred years of heretical teaching.

COURT DEPARTS
 FORMER DECISION
UNITED STATES WINS IN SUIT FOR REFUNDlNG OF IMPORT
 DUTIES BY c. HElNSZE 6 co. ETAOlN SHRDLU CMFWYP p PP

Washington, May 27-In the case of c, Heinsze & Co. vs. the United States, de- cided today by the supreme court favor ably to the government, the court was again called upon to deal with the ef- feet of the executive order of President Mckinley of July 12, 1898. providing for the collection of duties on imports into the Philippine islands ''As military con- tribution."
 Heinsze and his partner were subjects of the Emperor of Germany and were at the time the order went into effect and afterwards engaged in business in 1enlla. | . ,..o ,.., m ,.,, ., imported merchandise from the United States into the islands, on which they paid $16,S67 duty. and suit was brought in the United States courts of claims to recover the money on the ground that after the signing of the treaty of peace with Spain the Philippines were not a foreign country, and that consequently no imports could be imposed on goods shipped from the United States proper to the islands.
 The opinion was by Justice White, and reversed the. decision or the court of claims. which decision was in support of the contention of tho claimants.
 The decision was a departure from previous rulings by the court on the ques- ton, and this departure was due to the fact that the court sustained the act of Congress of 1906, relieving previous law of the antiquities which were found to characterize an early statute. Justice Brewer and Beckham dissented.

Drouth Came to an End.

St. Petersburg. May 27.-In the central southern wheat district the long contin- ued drought today came to an end. The whole Volga territory reports abundant rains, and there is promise of fair crops, particularly in the dozen famine prov inces. The rain in the southern district was less plentiful the Dnieper valley, Podola and Bessarabia getting only two days of light showers. This is enough to save the spring wheat, but the winter wheat crop is an utter failure and will be practically a dead loss The Odessa wheat pit regards the situation with greater confidence and gathering clouds lead to the hope that there will be an- other fall of rain.
