Eugene W. Chain, prohibition can
didate for the presidency, proceeded
to get real funny in speech deliv-
cred at Atlanta the other day. and
referred to the Socialistie candidate
now in jail in Nevada as the cheer
less candidate Mr.. Taft as the
fearless candidate Mr.. Bryan as
the peerless candidate" and to him
self as the "beerless candidate" Mr.
Chain stated that it was now eighty
nine days since he started his can
vass, that he had visited twenty-five
States, delivered five speeches a day
and gained five pounds in weight, and
declared that if the campaign would
only last long enough he'd be big
ger man than Taft.

Roosevelt has not felt called upon
to write any letters during the past
few days, and as a consequence the
campaign has been rather dun and
monotonous. Taft went to Washing
ton Sunday to get his orders for the
coming week, and the president may
give him some real gingery speeches
to turn loose upon the people. While
the president has been suffering from
writer's cramp, however, Mr.. Hearst
has been by means idle. In speech
recently delivered at Berkley, Cal,
he. referred to Congressman Sibley
as the Standard Oils game dog, who
points and retrieves while Mr.. Arch
bold hunts with the smokeless pow
der of the certificate of deposit.

PECULIAR SERVICES.

A clergyman in Atlantic city is said
to have conceived the idea of trying to
induce men to come TO church, by
novel methods.
He argues that the absence of so
many men from church Is due to their
natural timldity and embarrassment
so many more women than men at
tending church services. And so he
concludes that he must have a hall
where men alone can be edited and
instructed.
He also argues that the formality
and good behavior supposed to be
necessary In church are too trying or
deals for men, and so he proposes that
at these special services for men the
Sunday conventions be ignored. Visit
,ors may come and go as they please;
they may take off their Sunday coats
if they find them too uncomfortable,
and in hot weather there will be no OBJ
jectiof1 tos Understanding their collars,
too, If they please. Religion is to DO

be discussed only lin practical man
ner." ana there is to be moving
picture show to keep the congregation
interested. Finally, smoking Will be
permitted for it is the firm conviction
of the rector that what keeps q large
number from the churches is the to-
ibacco habit.
Now. if the carrying out of these
ideas does not produce the desired re-
suit, various attractions might be add
ed. How about beer and highballs?
And vaudeville features?
The Master predicted that when He
had boon lifted up He would draw
all men unto Him" Some modern
professed disciples act as IL by drag
ging the Masters religion down to the
level of the world, they hoped to save
men. They are wrong. Religion must
be lifted UP" before 1t can attract
human souls to the Savior.

A CATHOLIC VIEW.

Archbishop Ireland has recently sent
n letter to the clergy and laity OF ms
diocese, in which he expresses the views
of the Catholic church on the mar
rage covenant. According to that let
ter a Christian marriage is sacra-
ment--an act "permeated to its inmost
core with divine activity, wrapped
up into the region of divine lie, under
the control of new laws befitting its
supernal character" To the Christian.
the Archbishop says. the marriage con-
tract can never be a mere natural en-
gagement between man and woman.

freedom; nor is It q mere social or civil
contract. made binding only through
civil enactments. lasting only SO long
as those enaetments order It TO last.
The Roman Prelate quoted goes on
to say that the marriage contract is in
dissoluble. Human laws cannot dis
solve it. The church, in it's spiritual
supremacy, cannot dissolve It,"
lie then goes OH to point out some
OF the evils of divorce. The cessation
OF the contract" he says. "the re-
marriage to another Of husband or OF
wife, renders fatherless or motherless

INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM.

George Harvey of Harper's Weekly.
The chief. If not indeed the sole. aim
OF the politician is to win the favor of
the majority. To achieve this purpose
he does not scruple; in the language of
his craft, he keeps his ear to the
ground" and the magnitude of his sue
cess is measured by the shrewdness
with which he divines popular tenden-
cies sufficiently in advance OF their gem
eIal manifestation to appear TO be the
leader of a movement to establish new
ly discovered principles rather than as
skillful conjecturer of evanescent pop
ular whims. It follows necessarily that
the journal animated by any other than
like motive, that is. the desire to
profit from pandering to mobilized self
ishDsss, is so hateful to the aspiring
politician that In his view of II must be
discredited. Hence the frequency and
virulence of assaults upon newspapers
which for one reason or another dis
sent from views expressed by politi-
clans, sometimes no doubt in sincerity
but always in hope of carrying public
favor. The reasoning of such a jour-
nal Is seldom combated; a mere ques-
tioning of Its motives Is deemed and
generally is found to be vastly more ef-
flCaclouS.

HOW AND WHERE THIS INDUSTRY
is CARRIED ON.
Provides Employment for Many or the
Women and Children of the
Sunny Land-From Co.
coon to Fabric.

How many ladies think of the won
derful Transformation through which
the golden thread, the precious prod
uct of the laborious silkworm, must
go before the woven material reaches
their hands? Yet to study the manu-
facture of silk, step by step, In every
phase, from the cocoon state until the
silk is made into skeins ready for the
weaver, is both interesting and in
structive. Italy stands first in Europe
in the silk spinning manufacture; then
come France, Germany, Austria and
Spain Hungary has only lately taken
to the rearing of the silkworm. Eng
land cannot do it on account of her
cold climate. The greatest part of the
silk produced in Italy comes from the
Lombard and Venetian regions; but
Piedmont produces quality of silk
superior to any other
Those who have never visited an
Italian spinningmill can have no ade-
quate idea of the lives led by the
many women (of from II to so years
of age) employed. Few of us think
OF the obscure existence of these wom-
en- when the wonderful products of
their work are before us. Most of the
| spinning-mills in Italy are in villages
or small towns, and the workers are
generally girls from the same place,
or from the neighboring villages.
These poor girls earn from so cen
times to franc a day at most; they
walk for miles to reach the mill early
in the morning, and go home at dusk.
On their way they sing popular songs.
However scanty the wages may be,
some peasants are so poor that they
are glad to earn them, working IL
hours day, in excessively heated
rooms, in which even in winter the
heat is oppressive.
The cocoons, when first sent to the
spinning-mill, are spread over a table
to be selected. From the bright yellow
cocoons very fine quality comes and
from the faulty ones, of course, an
inferior quality. When the choice is
made, the cocoons are washed in hot
water, and are left in it for some time
to get cooked" After the washing
