the privileges belong not to the successor of Peter
personally but to the Office he holds The Pope
in natural attainments. /. e.. in wisdom and know-
edge may fall far behind other officials, or even
simply laymen. but by virtue of the supernatural
aid of the Holy Ghost promised him in his ca
pacity of universal teacher of the entire church,
the Spirit of Truth directs him in the way Of
truth when he speaks from his chair to the entire
Catholic world This is not clothing the Pope
with any divine attributes, for the Holy Ghost IS
strictly speaking the infallible organ. To deny
that the Spirit of Truth could human

writers of the gospel, and epistles were inspired
by the Holy Ghost.
As to the law of cebacy the News says: eve
do not see how a Pope could abolish a rule that
may be traced. perhaps, far back as the fourth
century, and has the sanction of all subsequent
authorities" Celibacy is part of the disciplinary
canons of the church. and if the Pope considered
that it would conduce to the betterment of Chris
tan ethics and the spread of Christian principles
he would dispense from that rule without lntrlng-
ing the dogmatic teaching of the church. a
part of the Greek church, still in communion with
Rome, has its married clergy; but their marriage
takes place before they receive the sacrament of
holy orders The law of celibacy has its founda-
ton in the counsels of our Lord, who said There
are canucks who have made themselves such for the
kingdom of heavens sake He who take it let
him take it." St Paul explains why our Lord rec
ommends this state for the clergy, or those VINO
consecrate their lives to the service of God "IIe
who is unmarried careth for the things of the
Lord, how he may please God. But he who is
married, is soHcitQus about the things of the
world, how he may please his wife, and he is di-
vided" / Cor, vii, 80 80. He even assures
that he himself led life of cebacy. Il say to
the unmarried and to the widows, it is good for
them if they so continue, even as l." Cor. vii.
s. However. there is no divine command, and as
all dogmas of faith must rest on a divine revelo
ton, the law of celibacy is merely disciplinary, and
could be changed On this point the flexible side
of the church is verified

SCIENCE AND SANITATION.

While the medical profession has devoted most
of its energies to the discovery of remedies to cor
rect diseases to which humanity seems to be heir.
there has gone a systematic research for the
causes of human arrangements, partly by doctors.
but mostly by men who made small claims of abl-
ity to heal those afflicted ones who had become in
fected. Yellow fever took thousands of lives be-
cause doctors knew no remedy but scientists dis
covered that mosquitoes were responsible for the
spread of the scourge and the result is the prac-
teal elimination of that disease. 1t is a practical
application of the old mountaineers remedy for
rattlesnake bies-kl the snake before he gets YOU.
Consumption has lately been the subject of sim
liar Investigations, and the sanguine hope has been
expressed by prominent physician that within
twenty-five years tuberculosis will have been vir-
tually stamped out in the United States. This
hope, however, will never be realized without hearty
cooperation of the people of the country 1t is
based on the supposition that everybody will con-
tribute his share to the work of eradication The
disease is seemingly not one which dosing with
medicine reach. Its cure lies in the open air.
in the mountains and the sunshine. Instances are
not lacking where clerks, Office men of all kinds
printers and others whose employment confined

abouts on cattle ranches and have been cured of
tuberculosis. A return to their accustomed bust
ness resulting in a recurrence of the disease and
going once more to the open and regaining health
having shown conclusvely that outdoor life is the
only hope of consumptive convalescents they have
gone into the chicken business or farming with

living out their allotted three score years and ten.
The experience of many men and women which
prove the efficacy of the outdoor cure, and the
study and observation of scientists and doctors.
have led to the formation of national association

NEW POLITICS.

All the politicians office holders and Office seek
seem to have adopted personal platforms
against rebates, extorton, favoritism, boodling,
corruption, scandal and everything which the peo-
pie are against and for honest government and
purity of politics and effective regulation of the
trusts and public service corporations And the
people, with a lamentable lack of insight into the
partisan political bugaboo will continue to elect
some of them to Office. 1t is perverted vision
with which the government is viewed by partisans
and radicals of any political party. Honesty and
ability are not obsolete ideals among the people
of the nation qualifications for men in public
places anywhere else, and the lack of these
things, as evidenced by disclosures of acute and
widespread graft, has been the most potent cause
for the growth of those revolutionary theories
which threaten the foundation of the republic and
of all government.
Governments exist for the sole benefit of the
people, not of the politicians, and our civilization
rests upon the stability of governments. When the
people cannot derive the benefits which any gov
eminent should afford, when the forces of iniouitv
control and justice and freedom are denied. that
government is doomed. The United States gov
eminent represents the progress of a thousand
years of struggle against oppression and intoler-
ance of kings and princes and potentates The
struggle has been marked by bIoodshed and war.
yet today, with all the experience which history
affords, nation stands upon the brink of de-
struction for lack of common honesty in the lives
of the people.
No intelligent observer can view the rapidly
spreading radicalism which would overthrow all the
accepted principles upon which government and
civilization rest without inquring the reason. Yet
the reason is apparent. 1t lies in the corruption
of the representatives of the people, the selfish and
mercenary interests of those who would squeeze
out the last dollar from underlings and the preva
lence of dishonesty.
Let us get back to first princples-back to God
Unless we do there will be terrible upheaval and
all our progress and civilized government will give
way to the wreckers who will follow closely upon
the heels of those who today in control It IS
indeed high time to demand purity in politics and
public business, and to emphasize that demand by
rejecting that purity III private lives.

A decision handed down by the federal court of
Utah last week is of interest to Divorces, or pro
gressive poygamists, as they have been called. In
substance the decree declares the obligation of ali
mony is not annulled by the subsequent marriage of
the divorced husband, and it thus becomes incum
bent him to support two wives. As preventive
of the growing evil of divorce, this decision may
reach some where moral teaching would have no
effect.

presentation, altho h M I.
Miller, the senior member has

some years ago. The version OF
1.-The Brack Crook which is to
be given this season, is one origin
ally used and while so far as the
play itself is concerned, the
original lines have been closely
followed, in the spectacular
features, wide deviation has been
made from the established rules
and much that is modern has
been introduced. The story OF
THE Black Crook is so old that
it will bear telling anew. Ru'
