joying the cordial support and OutSpoken
admiration of Archbishop Farley. The
Review has suspended publication and
the number containing articles specihcal-
Iy condemned by the congregation of the
index must he withdrawn from orthodox
Catholic libraries.
That this intimation has caused ire
mendous sensation in Cathlic eccleSiaStic
circles was generally expected. The edi-
tors of The Review are three learned
professors of DunWoodie seminary. the
institution built and endowed by the
friends and admirers of Archbishop Cor
rigan shortly before his demise. They
are Rev. James +. Driscoll, Il former
member of the Sulpitians, and his asso-
ciate editors. Father John t. Brady and

Company.

FORT ARTHUR, Ontario, Sept. IL
Persons arriving from Pigeon river today
stated that camps Nos. . and 10 of the
Pigeon River Lumber company had been
entirely burned by the bush fires and
that Moorings camp on the Arrow river
had been entirely wiped out. The fire
destroyed large sections of timber. Along
the Duluth extension, farmers have lost
considerable property. In some places
they have had to fight for days to save
their homes. Water is very scarce.
PARRY SOUND, Ontario, Sept. IL
An almost impenetrable veil Of smoke
hangs over the whole north country and
the forest fires continue to rage with I'M
diminished fury. No rain has fallen for
nearly . month. From the Severn south
ward to the northern boundaries of this
district and away beyond into the dis
tricts of Nipissing and Algoma, the line
of fire extends. Many villages are threat
ened and the settlers in all parts are
forced to fight fire until they are almost
exhausted.

Thomas p Gore, the blind United

Il seat on the platform when the con
vention was called to order more than
an hour after the appointed time. The

be submitted to the convention.
Parker Scores Sherman.
Judge Alton b. Parker. permanent
chairman, was introduced to the cOnyen-
ton amid enthusiastic cheering. Not the
least striking feature Of Judge Parker S
address was a declaration that James D.
Sherman. the companion of Mr.. Taft on
the Republican ticket. invaded Wall
street. for political contributions IN 1906,
when Mr.. Sherman was chairman of the
congressional committee.
Evidence is not wanted of the set
purpose of the leaders of that (the Re
publican) party" he said, ito continue
their plan of securing funds from those
who are interested either in legislation
or in non-enfOrcement of law. Smarting
under the exposure of the insurance in
vestigations Of 1905. and subsequent dis
closures not under oath. its COMPRESSION
al committee in 1906 called for dollar
contributions from individuals to aid in
the election of Republican members of
Congress. The President himself sub
scribed dollar. and few others whose
names were duly advertised. and then
the publication of contributions ceased.
and the chairman of the congressional
committee, now the Republican candi-
date for vice president. went down as
had his predecessors of old into Wall
street to get the money with which to
influence the doubtful district.
