Cardinal Gibbons Gives Warn
ing.

Upon the eve of his departure
for Europe, on Saturday, July
18th, Cardinal Gibbons gave a
few words of advice in regard to
the political conditions which ex :.
ist in this country at the present
time. The following is a brief
summary of the Cardinals pithy
sentences:
81 am very much concerned
about the political conditions in
our country.
''Tbere should be no atheists
or non n-Christians in the National
or municipal governments in any
part of our country.
1.-The public schools should be
abolished in the sense that they
now exist and each religious de-
nomination allowed to have it's
own schools, supported and su-
pervised by the proper civic au-
thorities.
"NO matter who wins, either
Taft or Bryan, he should begin at
once to raise the moral standard
OF the people. Two things are
essential to that end: Make di-
vorce "a national issue and take
cognizance of the harm that it is
doing to this country, and teach
the school boy that there is a
God.
"Our politics are corrupt be-
cause God is missing. Teach the
public school boys morality, aud
when they grow up they will turn
against the corrupt poll ii C a |
boss"

Uniform Divorce Law

Uniform divorce laws are needed
in this country, aud the move
ment tor their cOnsummation is
one of those movement which, il
must be said in commendation OF
the people of the land, will not
down. Uniform divorce laws will
remedy much of the evil which
must be attributed to the present
often lax regulations governing
any desired release from the mat
rimonial bonds. But in addition
to the uniform divorce laws, uni.
form marriage laws should be en-
acted also. 1t is just as we'll te
begin at the beginning when try.
ing to eliminate any evil.

Bound to Have Prosperity.

A recent dispatch from Wash
ington, d. c., says: By issuing
orders for extraordinary haste in
the letting of contracts for Fed
eral supplies for the new fiscal
year, President Roosevelt has
turned trick that he and his
friends regard as just about the
smartest thing that he has ever
done in the interest of political
campaign.
Uncle Sam, who is far and
away the biggest and best Gus
toner that the merchants of
America ever get on their books.
has $3.50, 600. 900 to spend this year
for supplies, public buildings,
etc. This money il available
since July 1st. Usually this an
nual supply budget is gradually
disbursed throughout the year,
as the supplies are needed. This
time, if the administration can
manage it, the whole pile is to be
spent before the election. OF
course the reason put forward for
this undue haste is that there is
great need to revive the gen
eral business of the country. To
this argument, of course, it is
very hard for any body to offer
any objection. But it is very
well known in all official circles
that there would be no hurry if
it was not intended for the ben
eft of the Taft campaign.

The Land of Opportunity.


A good many people finding
themselves in the rut, are apt to
look with q somewhat jaundiced
eye on the big positions that are
filed In the world of industry,
the positions whose salaries are
so often greater than that of the
Chief Executive. The presidency
of big railroad system is one
that is particularly open to in
viduous attack, and many people
in humble positions who hear
about the steam yachts and the
munificent way of living of these
railroad "magnates"-that 10 q
favoriie term for them-think Of
them as children of good fortune.
There is. we believe, a pretty
general idea that the usual rail.
road President is chosen from
among the rich; chosen from
circle Of rich men because Of
his influence and. the prestige his
name will give to the securities Of
the road of which he is to be
president.
1t is most interesting, then, to
learn from Harpers' Weekly some
thing of the antecedents of the
presidents of some of the big
railroads of the country. SO far
from being men with the "blue
bloodA of high finance in their
veins. the great majority of them
were born with a shovel in their
hands, rather than with a silver
spoon in their mouth. BY far the
most of them began life as com
mon labOrers, or just little
higher.
President j. A. Edison, of the
Kansas City Southern, was tel
egraph operator on the Lake
Shore. President Underwood, of
the Erie, was freight brakeman.
President Earling, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, was .
telegraph operator. Presi d n {
Harahan, of the Illinois Central,
was a member of a construction
gang. and became its foreman az
his first rise in the world. TheO-
dore Shonts, President of the
Glover Leaf, and who was Presi.
dent of the Panama Canal Com
mission, and whose daughter mar
ried Duke, began his career as
a water boy of construction
train in Iowa. President Garrett,
of the SeabOard Air Line, was q
messenger boy in the st. Louis
Union Station. w. G. Brown,
Senior Vice President of the New
York Central, was . section hand.
President Murray, OF the Balti-
more and Ohio, was a ticket seller
in Texas. President Stevens. of
the Chesapeake and Ohio, was an
office boy with the Baltimore and
Ohio. President Newman, of the
New York Central, was freight
clerk on the Texas and Pacific.
President Tuttle. of the Boston
and Maine. was ticket clerk.
President Samuel M. Fenton, of
the Alton, was rOdman in Penn
sylvania, and President Smith, of
the Louisville and Nashville, was
telegraph operator.
Doubtless dozens of the in.
stances might be given, not alone
in the railroad world, but in the
other industrial fields, but enough
has been cited to show something
of the golden opportunities that
this country holds for msn-real
men. This opportunity, open
to the poorest laboring man, 10
one of the greatest glories of the
American institutions. 1t shows
that the declaration that the
high place is the reward of favor
or dishonest dealing, is a pessi.
mistic, snarling lie. 1t proves
beyond doubt that honest merit
wins in the long run, and that in
this country, above all others,
every man has his G h q noe

The death Of Mrs. Julia Rush Jones.
at her residence, 20O5 street northwest.

who was a survivor of the ante-bellum
days, and one whose lineage extended
back in an unbroken line to the signers
of the Declaration of Independence. Mrs.
Jones had been at invalid from rheuma-
tism for many years, and finally sue
cumbed to the disease that had rendered
her helpless.
Mrs. Jones was the great-granddaugh-
ter of George Read, II signer Of the Dec

federate army. He served as General
Beauregard's chief of artillery at the

ginia and the far South during the civil
war, and succeeded General Beauregard

nous siege.
During the civil war Mrs. Jones ac-
companied her husband and was in
CharlestOwn during the siege. She was
a woman of conspicuous and extraor-
dinaTy courage, and refused to leave
ner home IN Charlestown when ii was
under fire. Her husband was a large
slave holder and was esteemed as q
generous and cOnsiC1Fate master.
Mrs Jones had resided for twenty
years in Washington. where she had

civil war, her husband being at that
time detailed from his regiment for
service in the War Department.
