San Antonio. Tex, Feb. S6.--A
special to the Express from Chihuhua,
Mexico. says:
Governor Creel says that as soon as
more pressing matters are disposed OF
he may take NJ the question OF the
liquor problem along the llneo OF tho
0otehenherg system a. proposed BY
him when he ives acting governor two
years ago.
In brief, this comprises a quasi
philaA ehropic corporation to take over t,
one by one, or as rapidly rs possible.
the saloons OF the state. close many
Of them and conduct the others I'M
der strict regulations and on such a
plane as win cOndnce to temperance
and morality.
The profits Of the company, It was
then proposed, will be limited to six
per cent on the capital Invested. all
above that being devoted to public
service or some other cause.
Owing to the amount OF other bust
ness on hand. the governor has as
yet done nothing toward carrying the
plan into effect, but he has always
been worker for temperance and has
accomplished much in regulating the
traflc; reducing the number OF ga
looms, closing them half day on
Sundays, and at 10 o'clock at night.

THE FLEET

NROM every point of view the Voy-
4 age of the fleet has been success
"A full. The wonderful journey has
established the prestige of the Ameri-
can navy and inspired the southern re-
publics with confidence in us and in the
ability of the United States to maintain
and enforce the Monroe doctrine. Our
naval officers and men have gained a
wealth of experience, and the people of
the United States should have added
confidence in the permanence Of that
valuable asset, the safety of the
country.
Justly proud must be all the friends
of American prestige when they re-
fleet that the navy is u modern creation
and that it was hardly popularity recog-
nized as a dependable part of the ma
tional defense until Capt. Maian wrote
his timely treatise on "Sea Power"
The land with the ships needs fear no
foe in shining armor." 1t is reason
ably safe from aggression, and, unless
it should take the initiative and pro-
woke and make war, it may enjoy prac-
tically perpetual peace. Let us hope
peace will be promoted by the cruise
of the fleet, and that tranquility viii
be the outcome of it. Japan has
learned a lesson. All the world has
been impressed. We have asserted our
selves. Now for awhile let the ma
tional mind be concentrated on peace.
1t is time to cease speculating as to
the ability of the nation to make war
against this or that or the other power.
Dismissing war thoughts, secure in the
knowledge that we are invulnerable
and invincible by land or sea, and that
therefore no power will strike us un-
less we strike the first blow. let us re-
turn to the conscientious cultivation of
the fundamental principles of Ameri-
canism, and try to establish conditions
in which the greatest number of the
people win enjoy the greatest good.
Let us see to it that every citizen sits
in peace and in plenty under his vine
and fig tree. and that his children go
to school.

SOMETHING WRONG

TTN HE city councils appropriation Of
$2500 to be expended in giving
u men of family employment at $3.50
per day in the street and park depart
ments is coincident with many similar
emergency appropriations in various
parts of the country. This is a con-
cession to the truth that since a COM
munity compels a man to care for his
family it should guarantee to him a
reasonable certainty of employment.
Can anyone deny that there is some
thing wrong with an economical sys-
tenn that is continually breaking down Z?
And when 1t breaks down who are
asked to patch it? Representatives of
the greater capitalists? No, never.
When the system breaks down at its
weakest point-and, we repeat, it is
CONSTANTLY breaking down at this
point--relief is not given by the agen-
cies and representatives. of those re-
sponsible for the breakdown. but by
the community, which thus suffers
from the action of the forces that cause
the breakdown and is also compelled
to repair the damage caused by the
breakdown. Logic is on leave of abb
sence from modern American civili-
zation. We invite our Republican
brothers to explain bit just here.

CATHOLICS FLAY HEARST

4
II RoTHER HEARST now knows
II "what it feels like himself" be-
- cause never in the history of the
United States has a publisher or man
in public life been the victim of such a
scathing denunciation as that to which
he has been subjected by leading Ro-
man Catholic organs, and notably the
Catholic World, ever since the assas-
sination of Father Leo Heinrichs, for
which. rightly or wrongly, the Cath
Ollie journals and prelates and priests
Of the west are holding the Hearst
papers accountable. In our opinion,
this onslaught utterly eliminates
Hearst as a presidential possibility, If
he was ever considered seriously.
We must not forget that an un-
fortunate alliterative lapsus linguae
the celebrated three Rs" of Burchard,
caused the Catholic population of the
United States to take offense at a Re-
publican candidate. James G. Blaine.
Once more the Catholic population is
aroused in a presidential year. The
New World. a Catholic publication of
wide circulation issued in Chicago with
the Endorsement and authority of Arch
bishop Quigley, Bishop Spalding,
Bishop Ryan and Bishop Jansen, calls
the unhappy Mr. Hearst the fomenter
of anarchy in the United States and
holds him up for execration as the in
stigator of two of the foulest crimes
in modern history. 1t Is terrible In
dictment and the very savagery of it
will cause many people to make that
concession to human nature which
would be indicated by a little bit of
pity for the erring brother whose bright
political prospects, barrel and all, are
being buried out of sight under a
crashing. crushing avalanche of abuse
and condemnation.
Archbishop, bishops and editor unite
in saying: 1.-THE murder of Father
Heinrichs was inspired by the same
Trades against established society. that
prompted the assassination Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The assassin in each
case was a deluded, weak-minded de-
generate who had been maddened into
the commission of crime by hearing
the passionate, Incorporate utterances
and reading the criminally suggestive
literature of gentleman anarchists,
who, too cowardly to carry out in per-
son their diabolical plots against So
ciety play upon the ignorance and the
criminal instincts of their unfortunate
victims until they have goaded them
to bloody acts of violence such as that
which has just been recorded.
THE Chicago American has declared
itself once more for the benefit of its
thousands of Catholic readers, who We
hope will take this lesson to heart
that newspaper like the American is
a blight and a source of untold harm
in the Catholic home"
