THE ENGLISH EDUCATION BILL.

Within very short space Of time four educa-
ton bills have been born in England and have gone
down to the oblivion of death unlamented. 1t was
with feelings of the greatest JOY the Catholic party
welcomed the demise of Mr.. Runcimans bill, and
the fact now is brought home more than at any
other time that England wants not and will not
have at any price purely secular education. The
non-conformist element fought hard to have Cou-
per Tempeism as the one state paid. state recog-
nized religion in all the schools and denomination
alism in none, but the Catholics and churchmen
stood shoulder to shoulder and showed that they
could not accept hollow Cowper Templeism which
at best is only an attenuated form of Christianity
and stage on the road to secularism. The Cath
Ole demand is reasonable and just They pay their
equal share of taxation and therefore they should
obtain Catholic schools with Catholic teachers
under Catholic control, and nothing else will satisfy
them. The churchmen. too, want not that national
unity doctrine another name for Cowper Templeism
so insidiousy proposed by DR.. Clifford, the intol
Grant pillar of the non-C onformst church Their
cry is definite Christianity in our schools. all cit
liens pay taxes and there must be full religious
freedom about this matter which so much concerns
our children and the welfare of the nation. The
Liberal party have failed with their bill and failed
because they refused to recognize the principle of
equality Let it be hoped that what has taken place
will be warning to them and that they will in the
future when formulating any measure for the edu-
cation of nation, embody in it the principles of
religious liberty and Justice.

ITALYs SORROW.

One of the most terrible of earthly catastrophies
took place last Tuesday when many towns of South
ern Italy were completely annihilated by earth
quake, fire and food. The tidings emanatng from
the zone of horror pregnant with pictures of
heartrending scenes and tragic deaths. 1t is
likely that any calamity in recent history will equal
this one in loss of life and havoc wrought.
An accurate estimate of the mortalities is of
course at present impossible but it is placed at APP
proximatey $4,000. To add to the horrors of the
scene flames quickly broke out after the seismic dis
turbance and wrapt in their last agony hundreds
who were rendered helpless by injuries A great
tidal wave thirty-two feet high drowned multitudes
who had escaped the heavings of the earth and the
embrace of devouring fire.
The heartrendng miseries occasioned by this
fearful cataclysm will evoke compassion and assist
ance throughout the civilized world. The Pope has
started subscription for the sufferers with sum
of 100000 and the King and Queen Immediately
started for the vicinity of the tragedy.
Before such outbreaks of nature as this
kind stands stunned and helpless Humanity
invent no preventive measures 1t can only aid the
living victims of elemental wrath but in these sud-
den convulsions which efface at stroke so
merous multitude of living, breathing men,
men and children there is lesson of being prepared
for death which we can all treasure up in hearts
lest we be caught in some similar manner without
a moments time to repent say prayer.

THE AFTERMATH.

The second crop of disgrace Is being harvested
in Springfield, Ill, the aftermath of the mob rule,
murder. arson and robbery with which that city
was visited several months ago. The dispatches
tell us that it has been impossible to convict those
brought to trial for taking part in the riots in that
city and that there is possibility that all the re-
naming indictments will be dismissed, the authori-
ties expressing very grave doubts that even one
of the guilty ones can be brought to justice.
Of course it may be that the authorities have
not secured the arrest or Indictment of the guilty
parties but even So the result of the trials so far
held is very disheartening to those of who be-
iieve in the supremacy of the law over the reck-
less clements III humanity who sometimes break
loose and take the law into their hands.
As people, the American nation has always
liked to feel that they were law abiding and that
the power and majesty of the law would always
remain supreme in this country But in Spring
fed--and there are other towns which are equally
censurable--the mob did its bloody work, and the
members of the mob bid fair to escape the just
penalty of their crime.
Such condition is most unfortunate, for it is
a standing invitation to the criminals of COM
munity to kill burn and plumber when opportunity
offers. Under such state of affairs, mob law
seemingly indicated, the power of the authorities
nullifed, almost any kind of outbreak may be ex-
pected It is disgraceful, and calls for the united
action of all good citizens to uphold the law and
thus insure protection to life and property within
the nation.

RED CROSS STAMPS,

The Red Cross Christmas stamp has made it's
appearance in Salt Lake. People generally know
it when they see it; know that it will not pay
postage, but that it is for some philanthropic
work; just what they have not taken the trouble
to find out 1t may be of interest, therefore, to
state few facts concerning the method of
raising money to carry on philanthropic work.
In the first place, it is the property of the Red
Cross society, an institution well known for its
work among the sick and injured 1t has, however
no connection with the Catholic Church, although
it has the support of many members of that body
The proceeds from the sale of the stamps are to
be used by the Red Cross society in the war it is
waging against the great white plague At cent
each, the net profit on the sale of the stamps will
be large the receipts of course, depending entire
ly upon the size of the sales. The profits from the
sale of the stamps in Utah will go to the Utah
branch of the Red Cross society, as they will in
each of the other states.
The idea of the stamp was borrowed from Den
mark, where it originated about four years
ago, when postal official of that country sug-
gested the issue of special government stamp
at the Christmas season, the net proceeds of the

E. D. SMITH GIVES ADVICE TO THE
 FARMERS.
South Carelina Senator Warns Them Not TO Heed Thrents of Mills To CuFtail Their Produc-
 faoh.

Florence. s. C., Oct 20--United States Senator E. D. Smith, formerly gen. eral organizer of the Southern Cotton Growers Association. declares that the recent action of the cotton mills of the country favoring curtailment of production because of the belief that the prices of cotton were higher than warranted by the crop outlook Is un- founded and appeals to the farmers to resist "the bear raid, since the condi- tion of the worlds peace insures ready markets and all supplies are rising in value"
 Senator Smith adds that reports re- ceived by him, as head of a movement of cotton planters having in view the ascertaining of the exact conditions concerning the present crop, indicates that it will fall far below last seasons crop.
 He gives the following figures:
 Louisiana--Crop half million. mostly sold. balance likely to be held in spite of present high prices.
 Arkansas--Crop 35 to 40 per cent short: selling fast. with no disposi- ton to hold.
 North Carolina--About same as last year: farmers able to hold.
 Texas--Crop 40 per cent short; will make between 100000 and 2,500, ,00o bales; obliged to sell as fast as ginned.
 100000 bales; 20 per cent short.
 Other states report good crops with farmers generally able to hold.

NEW BOARD BEGINS WORK
STATE PHARMACY STANDARD WILL
 BE RAISED.
Several Applicants for Licenses Are Examfned by the Members--
 Some Details of the New Law.

Already the new pharmacy laws of Alabama have gone about the mission for which they were intended--to raise the standard for pharmacists in the State. When the new Board began the examination of applicants for licenses yesterday, there were several rejected because of failure to meet with the new regulation as to previous expe- rience.
 Heretofore the license was secured by the successful passage of the exam ination, without regard to experience. The new law renders 1t imperative that an applicant for pharmacists license have had four years actual experience in drug store under direction of a 20 years old. A diploma from repu- table pharmacy school max be substi- tuted for two years of the experience. For the assistants license. 1t Is re quired that an applicant have two years actual experience in q drug store un- der direction of q registered pharma- cist and be IS years old.
 ''It is the intention of the board" said Mr. w. E. Bingham. of Tusca- loosa, a member of the Board. ito pro- tect as far as Is possible the people of Alabama against incompetency and quackery in compounding medicines, and to raise the standard of pharmacy In the State.
 Tt Is the intention of the Board, by the authority granted under the new laws. to stop practicing without ii- cense.
 "The Board will require every drug gist, who Is now doing business with out a license. to appear before It, or get out of business The Board is also going vigorously and consistently af- ter any and all persons who are hle- gaily selling opium. morphine. cocaine and similar drugs, and for the benefit of all concerned. 1t gives notice that the State law forbids the sale of these drugs except on the prescription of legally authorized physician. All the druggists of the State are required to keep a poison register in which Is reg istered the name of each customer who purchases any poison enumerated In Sections fl and 15 of the pharmacy law. The pharmacy law may be procured by application to any member of the Board by any person sending a stamp for postage"
 The new Board, consisting of pr. P. C. Candidus. Mobile. President; k. F. Gait. Selma, Secretary w. E. Bing- ham, Tuscaloosa, Treasurer; s. A. Wil- Hams, Troy; l.. c. Lewis. Tuskegee. were all present yesterday when, im- mediately after organization. they en- tered at once into their official duties In examining applicants for pharma- cists' and assistant pharmacists cer- tificates.
