George Washington's Children.

In the April number of Extension magazine
published at Chicago by the Catholic Church Ex-
tension society, is an interesting article from the
pen of Rev. William J. A. Hendricks, we'll known
through his twenty years of toll in the Idaho vim
yard now resident priest at Moscow portion
of the article is so excruciatingly funny that The
Scmitar takes the liberty of separating it from the
accompanying topics and purloinng it. The story as
told by Father Hendricks is this:
Occasionally converts come in. Two months ago
l lectured in Johnson, Washington, where they had
never seen a priest. 1t is very bgoted town, and
after the exercises twelve copies of The Faith OF
Our Fathers" asked for by as many families.
The Mormon converts some OF the best. In
1898, at Dempsey Valley, | met Mormon elder who
sent thther by the Salt Lake authorities to
prevent my Mormon converts. The Mormon sect
teaches the doctrine of Baptism for the Dead,
which he was explaining in of the school houses.
If anyone is baptized and plunged into the pond of
the temple in Salt Lake City with the intention of
having done this for deceased father relative or
friend that father or friend becomes at once Nor
mon in the other world. AS an inducement to have
this DONE and to show the Importance of that article
of their creed and also to demonstrate the truth OF
their church, the elder said You unfortunate peo-
pie, you have joined as | understand, bloody,
abominable church and left the church of Gods
chosen friends. Do you know that the Mormon
church recently obtained great proof of its truth
by the apparition of Washington to the wife of
Utah's present governor? Washington said to her.
L am dead now nearly 100 years. | had plenty of
time to find out the true church, and must say that
it is the Mormon church. Therefore, you or your
husband the Governor of Utah, be so kind as to
get baptized for in your temple to make
Mormon, and also for my dear wife, Martha my boy
and my two daughters"
| became very much excited at hearing such
sense and | called him liar before the crowd.
He made prove it, and | told him that every
body else knew that Washington never had any
children of his to be baptized for
The elder was dumbfounded, left in anger, and
this confirmed my converts firmly in the faith
than my sermons.

DECISION ON LONG
 AND SHORT HAUL
Interstate Commerce CemmiS-
 sion Gives Decision
GIVEN RATE IS NOT UNJUST
Case Is One In Which a Higher Tariff On Freight Is Paid For a Short Haul Than For Long
 Haul.

Washington, January 1S.-one of the most important decisions that has been rendered by the interstate commerce commission for many months was thar handed down today by Commissioner Clark in the case of the Bovaird Sup ply company against the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railway and other carriers. The decision involves a discus sion of the commissions view regarding the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce act and in the course of the opinion the commission states why it cannot always approve of lower rate for shorter haul than for longer one in the same terri tory In the present case the complainant ships rope cable from San Francisco to Independence Kansas, on which it is charged 75 cents per 100 pounds, whereas the rate on such rope cables from San Francisco to Mississippi river common points and Chicago common points is only 60 cents a hundred pounds. The commission decided, that in the circum- stances the rate was not unjust or pre- judicial to the complainant. In the course of the decision the commission announced the following important findings of in- terest to shippers and carriers through out the country:
 Erroneous application of an unlaw- full rate is not evidence that a higher lawful rate thereon is unreasonable.
 "A rate to one point that does not permit of disadvantageous competition from point beyond enjoying a lower rate does not create unreasonable preiu- dice as to the one or give undue prefer ence to the other.
 The commission views with disfavor the maintenance of a lower rate for a longer haul than for a shorter one in- cluded within the longer, and the cir cumstances and conditions obtaining at the more distant point which are relied upon to justify it must not only be clear ly shown to be substantially dissimilar from those prevailing at the nearer point, but also to clearly exercise a potent or controlling influence in making the lower rate.
 ''If the influence of competition be- tween points of production in commodi- ties between carriers and in rates pre- vailing at the farther distant point, but not at the nearer one, controls the es- tablishment of a lower rate to the former, it will constitute such dissmilarity of circumstances as will justify the lower rate for the longer haul.
 Competition in commodities alone, at the nearer point, will not make the cir cumstances there substantially similar to those at the farther point where the other influences and conditions also pre- vail.
 "Dssimilar circumstance which justify under section four a greater charge for shorter haul than for a longer haul will also prevent such rate from con stituting an illegal preference or advan- tage under section 8.
 "On discovery that shipments have through mistake been moved at an un- lawful rate the carrier should forthwith demand and the shippers forthwith pay the difference between such unlawful rate and the legal rate applicable thereto"

CHECK TO GROWTH
 OF LARGE FORTUNES
PROF. EDWARD ROSS TELLS OF THE 5000 MILLIONAIRE OF THE UNITED STATES AND HOW TO GET THEIR MONEY.

Chicago, January 1S.-( (SpeciaL)- Tn ere are 5000 millionaires in the United States. 200O of whom live in New York, according to a statement made by Edward A. Ross. professor of sociol- ogy of the University of Wisconsin.
 Professor Ross spoke to the members of the City club today on "The pro5- len, of Individual Accumula ton of Wealth in the United States" As a remedy to check the growth of large fortunes the speaker suggested that the following plan be adopted by the gov ernment, which would cut down the income of some of the millionaires aud tE us give others a chance:
 The government to derive a revenue from all oil fields in the United States. Stop oppression of the independent manufacturer by trusts.
 The establishment of postal savings bank.
 The establishment of public utilities commissions.
 In this way Professor Ross declared the conditions o1 present. times would be adjusted, everybody Would have a fair prospect, the muture genera tions would become wealthier and 1t would be difficult. for the wealth of the multi millionaires to become larger.
 "The whole nation of American peo- pie seem to be losing hope,' said MT. Ross. The great fortunes have hin- dered and shackled genius which pre- vents the smaller fortunes from giving aid. The idea that unusual men of per- sonal ability and keen foresight be- come the possessors of huge fortunes is a false reasoning. The fortune IS tn ere and it is only a questions of who shall get it."
