What did Ferrer accomplish for
mankind to merit glowing eulogy
from the official organ of the Social
lists? Through the bequest of wo
man who became infatuated with him,
he raised himself to the leadership OF
anarchy in, Spain by the reorganiza-
ton of schools for the inculcation Of
anarchistic views, and by his writ
ings against religion, against law,
against order and against properly,
he succeeded in producing a riot in
Barcelona in which precious human
lives were lost and valuable property
was destroyed. Read the following
extracts from one of his text books:
Society today is divided into the
privileged and the disinherited. The
former usurp everything, while the
latter die of hunger"
THAT capital should appropriate the
fruit of the workman's labor, is an
injustice supported by law"
Religion inculcates falsehood and
teaches foolishness"
1.-THE soldiers uniform concea!s
crimes against humanity and the mis-
cry of its own existence"
ITO maintain order is to maintain
Injustice against the workingman."
"All religions are based on ignor-
ance, and aim at exploitation and OPP
preston"
Any Catholic who belongs to the
Socialist party with such a man as
Eugene V. Debs as it's leader is in
great danger of losing his holy faith.
He ought to obey the Church and keep
out of such an organization. Let him
remember the words: HE that will
not hear the Church let him be to thee
as a heather and a publican" The
Church is composed of cardinals, prel-
ates and priests, with the Pope at
their head, and what they teach on
faith and morals is safe to follow.
The specious arguments of such writ
ers as those of the Appeal to Reason
have led many honest and God-fearing
Catholics astray. They should cut
loose from the enemies Of their
Church and pray to God for light to
see the truth about Socialism. Their
sympathy with the wronged working
men of Idaho and the persecution IT
Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone is all
right, but the teachings of the Appeal
to Reason should be repudiated by
every self-respecting Catholic of or
binary intelligence.

In the news from Ireland, on an
other page is an item in reference to
the last will and testament of Miss
Charlotte Grace O'Brien, the patriotic
and philanthropic daughter of Smith
O'Brien, the companion of Mitchell
Meagher and Martin in 1s4s in their
Punishment to Tasmania or Van Die
mans land. for attempting to over
throw the alien British government
in their native land. Miss O'Brien in
herited the patriotism of her father
and was a convert to the Catholic
faith. She crossed and recrossed the
Atlantic many times to look after the
welfare of Irish emigrant girls. So
impressed did sire become with the
purity of the Irish maidens and the
chaste lives they led on board ship
that she resolved to embrace the re-
ligion that made them so virtuous and
good. One Of her ancestors in the
penal days abandoned the Catholic
faith to preserve his estates from con-
fiscation, and SO she only returned 70
the faith of her fathers, lived an edi-
flying life and died happy death. The
value of her estate was about $4,000,
which she left to her brother, Lucius,
and three nieces, Lucy, Mary and Ellen
O'Brien.

Denounces Anarchy From the Pulpit
Of His Cathedral.
Sunday morning, Oct. 81, at the Sa-
cred Heart Cathedral in Duluth, Bish-
op McGolrick decried the holding up
Of Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish rev.
olutionist, as martyr to liberty by
the press of this country.
1.-THE press says that Ferrer died in
the cause of liberty" said the bishop.
Meetings are being held all over the
world, and Spain is being anathema-
tized by press and people. Yet the
teachings of Ferrer are the teachings
of the Socialists of this country; they
closely approach anarchy. Ferrer was
a Socialist. and If Socialism is liberty,
then it should not be looked down
upon as it Is in this country.
But is Socialism liberty? Is the
teaching. of the overthrow Of the es-
tablished form of government the
teaching of liberty? Is such liberty

members Of the British garrison? But
they say, the retired Irish Nationalist
can meet in Dublin and legislate for
Ireland better than at Westminster.
They would not be permitted to do so.
An arms and disturbance act would
soon be passed in London to dispense
any illegal assembly in Dublin. What
ever be the views Of the Sim Feiners
as to the policy pursued by Irish rep
resentatives at Westminster, the time
has not arrived when it Is desirable
for them to leave their posts.
The Irish party in parliament can
be of some service to their country in
London, but they could do nothing for
it in Ireland any more than the Sim
Feiners. If the latter have the good
of the country at heart they ought to
cooperate with the parliamentarians
on parallel lines. They are in the great
minority and yet they can serve their
country to good purpose by promoting
the revival of Irish industries and the
cultivation of the language and liter
allure of Erin. Plenty of work for
earnest Irishmen to do. Let them
work for the uplifting of Ireland po-
litically and commercially, and their
efforts will eventually be crowned with

FLOOD TOWN
FOUR KILLED, THREE ARE FA-

Ten Houses Completely Wrecked
Forty Others Damaged as Re-

Parkersburg, W. Va.-An entire sec
ton of the city was swept away before
q great deluge of water at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning, when two immense water
tanks, located on the heights above the
city, and from which the city's water
is furnished, were wrecked, supposedly
by dynamite from the hands of some
inhuman fend.
Four are known to have lost their
lives. The bodies of Walter Wagon
and wife and small child were recov-
cred.
Added to the death and horrors which
the deluce created is a threatened water
famine which the city is now facing, n
which may cause the most intense sui
fering, as the city's entire water supply
was contained in these tanks Beth are
a complete wreck.
The awful avalanche of water cam
without a moments warning, and wher
the great majority of occupants OF tht
houses that were in its path were still
asleep and utterly helpless.
The first buildings to be caught II
the wall of water, that gained terrlhV
force, not only from its volume, bu
from the steep declivity down which
plunged, were the st. Johns Luthera'
Church and the summer school building
both of which were completely wrecked
These, in a measure, checked the terrlf'
force of the rush of waters, and the II

CApERs MAY LOSE HIS JOB
Personal Friend Of Taft to Be In
ternal Revenue Collector.

Misunderstanding the most es'
teemed federal jobs in Washington, out
side of a cabinet place, is that OF com
missioner of internal revenue, and it IS
highly probable that from the NUMBER
of applicants for the place a change IN
that office is soon to be made. A GER
tain Ohio man has aspired to the place.
and it transpires that when this name
was urged President Taft expressed MS
regret, according to the story, saying
that he had picked out a personal fr'end
for the place.
John G. Capers, Of South Carolina, the
| incumbent commissioner, was appointed
in the summer of 1907, the announcement
being made at the time that it was a
temporary appointment. Soon after.
ward the office was proffered to Pearl
Wright. a New Orleans merchant, VINO
held in allegiance for a long time his de-
cision whether he would accept.
Somehow Capers was permitted to re-
main. and made himself useful to Cortel
YOU and Hitchcock in the rounding up OF
Southern delegates for the Republican
convention of 1908, being ostensibly
third term advocate. There is no doubt
from expressions heard that vigorous
onnosition outside of the Southern ret
cree system particularly, as it involves

that he will soon have to give way t

The food is reaching New Orleans. and
the stage there is 1873 feet, only two
tenths below the food stage, which is 10
