Fresh proof that the ancient Ethio-
plans were a people of high culture
and marked intellectual advancement
is furnished by Prof David Randall
Maclver Of the University of Pennsyi.
vania, who has returned from Nubia
with a collection of antiquities or
artistic worth and much variety and
aggregating five tons in weight The
articles he has gathered, Prof. Mac
lver says, represent early negro civil
cation that lasted for at least seven
centuries. Included among the an
tiquities are various works of art and
also some Ethiopic inscriptions. Prof
MacIver adds: Our excavations have
shown that the source of civilization
of the period which our work in lower
Nubia covered was Ethiopian. All the
negro works of art were discovered in
an extensive cemetery lying about ten
feet under ground between Wady Hal
ia and Assouan in lower Nubia."
That was the seat of an important
empire away back in the dim and dis
tant years, and the race in control was
black. This should tend to confirm be-
lief that the negro is capable of better
things than some of his opponents are
ready to concede.

Judge Samuel r. Artman of Indiana, who is.

for president by number of the leaders of that
party is the Republican circuit Judge who set his
judicial brethren guessing by his decision formal
ly rendered in ending injunction suit in his
court that the saloon is in and of itself unconsi
tutional. He declared therefore, that no legal
state liquor license law could be passed by any
legislature since no such body could license the
doing of act in violation of the constitution.
Judge Artman has always been a Republican,
in politics and was speaker of the Indiana house,
of representatives in the state legislature of 1901

THE PROHIBITION PARTY.

Enough is now known of the result of the re-
cent presidential election to justify the statement
that the National Prohibition party made about
the poorest showing in that campaign of any since
the party organized. In great many of the
states where the party had electors in the field the
result shows a heavy falling off III the votes cast.
For instance IN Kentucky, where nearly all the
counties are dry" as the result of the operation
of local option law there was very heavy de-
crease in the number of votes cast for the Pro
hibition candidates as compared with the showing
of four and eight years ago And the Lone Star
state, where than hundred and fifty coun-
ties are "dry," cast only nominal vote for the
Prohibition candidates. In other states which are
under state prohibition law or are without sa-
looms in most of their counties the vote showed
generally decline from that of four years ago,
in some states the decrease being very marked
From these figures it might be inferred that the
greatprinciple of prohibition has lost its power in
the land, if it not for the ever-growing SEN
tlment which places local option statutes on the
books of the very states whose people consistently
refuse to vote with the national party While the
principle of local option is not exactly what the
national Prohibition party has contended for all
those principles by the national party. and. being
safer and saner. has spread with the awakened
conscience of the people, The national Prohibition
party has seen It's principles adopted and placed
into effect IN great many states in some states
IN their pristine vigor in others with modi6ca-
tions which have made them practicable. The
national Prohibition party may not be dead issue
yet, but it is doubtful if the party will ever show
any material gains the vote cast this year. and
it is more than probable that each succeeding cam
paign, if the party puts up other candidates, will
show decrease i'll the number of votes cast for
them. Other parties have sprung up in the his

THE PE0MAGE CHARGE.

The startling news emanating last week from
Chicago which asserted that there was a stockade
where laborers illegally detained, located at
place called Summit, thirty miles from that CITY

the country, regardless of any certain state only
in more less aggravated or modified FORMS The
kernel of the whole matter is as follows, and the
statements we can vouch for:
About one year ago, maybe little less large

the purpose of manufacturing glue or beet sugar.
we are not positive which But no matter; it does
not pertain to the essence of the narrative. The
place selected for the projected establishment was
Summit located about fifteen miles from Chicago
and not thirty, alleged in the newspapers re-
ports. After the specifications had been formu-
lated and the camp located, comprising large
boarding house and sleeping accommodations for
a goodly number of men, and fence erected en-
veloping the whole place, one of the most bastard
ly and inhuman conceptions for the robbery of
the blood and sweat of labor was put in operation.
The contemplate idea was this That labor agents
in various vcinities throughout the country should
be informed that tolers, mostly unskilled were
needed in large numbers. The pay was stipulated
to be S1.65 per day of ten hours and board IS

L, SEAMAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Is. *, Y.

Christmas means Christ's-mass, and as the
mass shows forth more fully than anything else
Christ's love for men, so Christmas is the season
OF holy love and that holy peace which springs
from love. Love, peace and hope are the offspring
of the manger of Bethlehem. When the Infant
Savior was born, the first ray of light went forth,
the light which, as st. John says, enlighteneth
every man that cometh into the world and follow
ing that ray came the day star of hope for Adams
race dispelling the darkness of the grave, and
flooding mems hearts once more with the sunshine
Of heaven. Standing between His Fathers chosen
people and the pagan world, the Infant Savior
strove to win to Himself by His mercy and love
the children of Israel and the ideal bound race of
the Grecian and Roman world Finding them for
the most part hardened and obdurate to His doe
trines of mercy and love, His great loving heart
went out to the Gentle world and we today bask
in the light and truth which makes us free. And
this mercy and sympathy and love which sprung
from Bethlehem and frightened up the old pagan
and Jewish day make allowance now as then for
all frailtes except hypocrisy. Christ today as of
old sends his angel to each of to shed the bright
ness of God around and to whisper to each of
our hearts, This day is born to you a Savior"
And we with the light of faith strong within us
praise and bless our Gentle Redeemer while we
give vent to the song GLORY be to God on High
and on Earth Peace to Men of Good Will" Those
whot shut out God from their Christmas are shut
ting out that holy peace which surpasseth all I'M
derstanding, and Christmas for such, has all the
barrenness of a pagan festival. But Catho-
lies are children OF the light and of the truth which
make US free; alb, we will go over to Bethlehem in
spirit, go over and see this Word which has come
to pass; and seeing It. we with grateful hearts
will fall down and adore the Infant Savior and fill
our hearts at the crib with love and peace
which are not of EARTH but of heaven
The Intemountain Catholic wishes peace to all
mankind and especially to its readers. Since its
institution it has used all its energies to bring
truth and peace to every household where it en-
tiers. Its sympathes have always gone out to the
poor and afflicted and its great hope for the flu
ture is to brighten up mems lives and to teach
them that truth is great and it shall prevail and
That this world is all a feeting show,
For mans illusion given;
The smiles of JOY, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow;
There's nothing true but heaven
Dear readers, may your Christmas be happy
one and may your lives be frightened up with the
sunshine of God.

moral life is but the natural effect of a decay of
