TO william Loefiler more than any
other man In Chicago does Mr.. J. w.
Muck owe his place on the bench. Mr..
lOefller pushed Mr.. Mack through the
Democratic caucus In 1908 and saw that
he was nominated.
Mr.. Loefller will try to have his man
slated for denomination ut the spring
primaries.
Mr.. Mack has earned the III will Of
hundreds of thousands of Catholics by
his marked prejudice In favor of "sct-
tlemcnt workers while he was prcsid.
ing In the Juvenile Court.
Who these settlement workers are can
best be explained by the powerful adj
dress upon the subject delivered by
Father Curry Of New York ut the
recent great Catholic congress held In
Chicago. Following are some extracts
from the address MS published In the
Record Herald Of November 1S. 1905 |:
Father Curry began by describing the
Pharisee Of st. Luke's gospel. Then lie
continued In part as follows:
"Thls is the Pharisee Of the parable.
and II you desire to see him in real life,
just live for while In a tenement dis
trlct Of any one Of the large cities.
You can't miss him, and when you il,id
him you can't get rid Of him. for he
just sticks. He settles In your neigh.
borhood, and where he settles you call
that place a settlement.
HE has cO.wOrkers. called resident
when they live with him in the beehive.
or nonresident when living In their
own homes or In fine hotels from which
they condescend to come down to what
they are pleased to dub the slums' and
rub elbows with the poor. All these
characters you must call workers.
Their work with the poor is incidental
and accidental; they work with best
financial results among the rich.
my own neighborhood, Cherry Hill,
has suffered and still suffers from the
Odlum cast upon It by settlemental mp.
lifters ana missionaries, and the repeat
edly published stigma Of tOughism and
thuggism has stuck 80 fast to the re-
puted character Of my people that
was forced to complain once to men,
her OF the editorial stan OF one OF ous
dailies against the cruel injustice done
to us, but he replied: Father, we
know what YOU say IL true, but the peo.
pie believe those things and we must
print them.'"
Then the speaker asked why settle.
ment workers did not do labor among
the rich.
II can anticipate their reply he
said. namely. that the rich can be
taught those things In their churches,
but tell You that their churches are
empty.
I'VE have two distinct types of SET.

packers combine, their organization,
profits, etc.
Mr.. Garfield DID REPORT on this
latter phase OF the resolution, and 1t Is
10 be found In his report. This fact
is stated merely as corroborating the
statement that Garfield found that the
Illegal combination existed.
1t Is not generally known that Rep
resentative Martin, who introduced the
beef trust resolution on which Garfield
reported. saw Mr.. Garfield many times
after the passage Of the resolution and
furnished the Department OF Commerce
and Labor with facts and the names Of
witnesses. Mr. Martin in fact saw Mr..
Garfield only short time ago.
There is very little surprise express
ed here that chapter Of the Garfield
report was withheld from publication.
II can be stated, however, that there
should have been not the slightest i'm
propriety in handing II 10 the Attorney
General for use in the case against the
packers.
Representative Martin would not and
lid not furnish 10 Mr. Garfield the
names Of any Of the beef packers. Mr..
Martin mentioned, as one witness for
instance a man who sold carload OF
cattle In Chicago one day and had the
good sense 10 wait and see what be-
came Of II. He found that the cattle
were divided among seven concerns
that night, although there was only one
bid for the cattle that day. This was
a violation Of the injunction then sup
posed TO be In force, and II Is known
that there were other witnesses and
ample witnesses to prove the violation.
II can be stated on authority that

financial side Of settlements.
"IIave YOU ever examined one Of

CHORUS
GREETS AUTOS

A queer thing has been noticed of
late at MoilH where the taro-patche5
by the roadside are well populated with
bull frogs.
Passers alous the Waialae road near
where the sentinel cocoa palms keep
watch and ward over acres of succuleut
taro, have recently observed something
peculiar with the believing of the
greenbacks whose habitat is under the
green, fanlilie leaves of the taro plant,
(colocasia esculeuta)
They die not boom out their greet
ings one at time, privatim ct seria-
tim, as of Odd but seemed to unite in
a deep bass chorus, as though at the
command of a leader,
1t fell to a Kaimukiite to solve the
problem and to make a discovery
which is likely to create a sensation
in natural history circles all over the
world.
The individual in question, was TAX
ing his morning constitutional the 9th
err day, and while near the big taro-
patch on the makai side of the Waia-
lac road noticed an automobile ap-
preaching him AS the car neared him
it footed vigorously and at the same
instant a chorus of deep-voiced toots
came from the taro-patch, ceasing at
the same time the autos horn quit
giving voice
Not satisfied with the conclusion to
which he hastily came, the pedestrian
determined to wait until another car
came along, in order that he might
determine whether the froggy chorus
he had heard was merely a coincidence
or premeditated and practiced effort,
as he more than half suspected.
He had not long to wait, for pres
entity a great touring car rolled down
the hill footing like one possessed.
The bull-frogs acted exactly as they
had when the first car passed, emitting
chorus of not unmusical toots, in
perfect time with the footing of the
automobile.
There was no longer any doubt in
the Investigators mind The intelli-
gent frogs, lonesome in their DOGGY
retreat, had heard the voices of the
autos and thinking they belonged to
some monster cousins ftheirs who
were polite enough TO pass the time
Of day with them, en- PEASANT, deter
mined to return the compliment and
give them a friendly salute whenever
