THEN AND NOW.

Four years ago the Republican,
newspapers were preaching about the
unfltness Of judicial officers for politi.
cal leadership. They said that Judge
Parker was a good judge but this very
fact united him to be president. TO-
day the same papers are referring to
the judicial mind Of William H. Taft
and contrasting 1t with some other non.
judicial minds. The remarks of ex.
Senator Spooner at the Yale law scho :,
recently is characteristic. He thanked
heaven that the secretary was a law
yer. who would If elected president
know how to observe the constitutional
limitations of his office He said:
When the three branches have be-
come subordinated to the will of the
executive. popular government has
ceased to exist. l speak Of this in an
impersonal way"
There is a certain individual now
spending his vacation at Oyster BAY
who will have no difficulty in under
standing the reference.
We shall hear much during the next
few months Of Mr.. Taft's judicial mind
but will 1t avail the Republican can
didate in gathering votes? The work
Of certain federal judges in Chicago
made public on last Wednesday may
not encourage the people to elec. a
federal Judge to the presidency.

so steadfast in their support Of the
program Of the Irish Nationalist party.
A BAD HABIT.

The Denver convention furnishes fur.
Their proof that the time has not yet
come in this country when Catholics
are entitled to the same consideration
at the hands Of their fellow citizens as
nom Catholics. 1t did not escape the
public press that John Mitchell, prom
inently mentioned for the vice presl-
dency, is Catholic and doubtless that
fact was taken into consideration and
possibly was the real cause why the
able and popular labor leader was not
placed upon the Democratic ticket.
But. while non-Catholics are guilty
of thus inquiring into a mans religion
and discriminating against Catholics
because Of their religion, Catholics
themselves are not wholly blameless 1t
has been altogether too common FOR
Catholic papers to refer to prominent
politicians or men and women prom
inent in other fields as Catholics What
difference does it make what the relig-
ion of a political leader is ? Why should
Catholics themselves make so much If
the fact that this one or that one is a
Catholic? 1t is bad habit and ought
to be stopped. We say that there is no
religious test in this country. Let Us
live up to that theory in practice and
not discriminate in favor of q man be-
cause he is a Catholic. Perhaps when
we get around to doing that, our nom
Catholic fellow citizens will get around
to the point where they will not dis
criminate against US because OF our
religion.

Over $4,000.

and robbed the passengers of seven stage

only few miles distant from the Old
Faithful inn, near the upper basin. yes

the usual order, at intervals of a few
minutes, and We're held up, one after the
other, as fast as they came in sight.
The hlghwayman was stationed at q
bend in the road, where he was invis-
lble from either direction. At the point
of rifle he lined up the passengers
and, after robbing them of money and
yaluables, allowed them to enter the
stage and resume the journey. This
performance the bandit enacted seven
times. 1t is understood that he collected

MAY UNSEAT CASTRO
THREE NATIONS, IT IS SAID, TO
BACK REVOLUTION
Money Will Come from New York, Dutch
to Furnish Ships and Colombia
the Fighters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10
With the full sanction Of the state de-
partment of the American government,
and with promise of effective assistance
from Holland, we'll organized reVolu-
ton is being planned to overthrow Presl-
dent Castro of Venezuela.
The revolutionary movement, now De
ing financed in New York and elsewhere
will become operative directly after the
rainy season in Venezuela, which is
about the middle of October. 1t is eX-
pected within a few months a new
Venezuelan ruler will replace president
Castro, an object which the state depart
ment, Holland, Columbia and the Ven
eZuelan malcontents nave every con
tidence of accomplishing.
Plans have already been begun for IN;
augurating the revolution. F!nanclaI
backing is not lacking, as money Is pour
ing in from New York, as we'll as from
other sources. The amount available &c
perfect the revolutionists plan may run
up into the millions.
The leader in the plan has been busliy
engaged in mapping out his campaign
for weeks His first step was to con
suit the state department, and he learned
from both Secretary Root and Mr.. Bacon
that while the United States government
could not support Il revolutionary move
ment at the same time conditions III
Venezuela were such that no interference
by the United States need be antlcl-
pated. AS Venezuelan affairs WaXed
warmer the state department was again
sounded by the revolutionary planners
and the present status is that Secre
tary Root is willing to let President Cas-
tro work out his own salvation and will
in fact, lend as much moral support as
possible to those who are planning tc
overthrow him.
Holland has been informed of the
move and will aid by blocking Venezu
elan ports while the land attack begin
along the Arauca river on the Colombia
border For this reason the state de-
partment expects no drastic action Oh
the part of Holland, until the time comes
to strike in October.
Colombia will willingly help by pro
viding men who are as anxious to over
throw Castro as some of the Venezue-
ans themselves. From Venezuela and
Colombia will be drawn the men who are
to do the fighting, while the United
States will provide the money and sew
eral leaders, leaving Holland to carry
out the naval part of the programme.

DETAIN BOY EMIGRANT.
Jacob Trass, Whose Parents Are in She
boygan, Wis, Held UP in New
York

NEW YORK, Aug, 25.-After stay
ing behind in Holland to take care Of
his grandmother, Jacob Trass, II years
of age, whose parents settled in Sheboy-
gan, Wis, three years ago, now finds
himself liable to be debarred from the
land his father and mother adopted. The
boy got here on the Statendam. He
passed the marine doctors all right but
was held up by an immigration inspector
for a medical examination because of
defective speech. Three years ago, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Trass came to this coun-
try, it was necessary for some one to
stay behind in Newmansdorf, Holland,
and take care of the grandmother. Jacob
and another brother volunteered to re-
main. Recently conditions changed and
Jacob was able to get away. He en-
parked on the Statendam with some
friends of the family.
