among the race-track men OF the train,

LII IF you did, you have as little pa

hackers have.
When barter was the sole method Of ex-
change, there was no footing on this earth for
the "fnancier". A coat was traded for a pair
of shoes, a sheep for pig, a cow for several
goats-and that was the end of It, No Roths-
child, Bleichroder, or Morgan sat behind the
bank counter and robbed the ao0rZd.
But the system of barter was clumsy, and
mankind felt the necessity of something
which would measure U0Ites l1a epch0nge.
Necessity being the mother and father of
invention, Money was born. At first, it was
extremely crude and simple. a-shells,
beads, tobacco, peltry and other commodities
were used as money. Then silver and copper
came in vogue Then gold. And from the
use of the precious metals, By aoeight, the

III Catholics make the field support the

Catholics sending millions OF dollars
out of this country to feed, clothe, educate
and subsidize the people of foreign lands.
You won't find American Catholics contrib
ut1ng money to send music teachers, school
teachers, doctors and surgeons to Africa to
teach the fuzzy -wuzzies arithmetic, history,
grammar, English physiology, rhetoric, mu-
sic, fa1aaing, and gymnastics; and to supply
the sick niggers with medicine medical treat
ment and surgical skill.
No, indeed. The Catholics are far wiser
than that. The papal missionaries live off
the people among whom they work-not off
the home-church Catholic institutions IN
henthendona are not supported by European
Catholics They are maintained by the .'con-
verts'-who, In some cases, were drawn into
the church by the tempting offers Of e9enap-
ton from tanation which the priests managed
TO wiring from the heather rulers,
But we Protestants Of America have made
the fatal mistake of neglecting the home
folks With the cry of "The aoorzd for

GREATER Value AND GLORY THAN

A couple of years ago, the Papa at Rome
formally announced that the United States
no longer constituted "a missionary country.
Few paid any attention to this announce
ment; and yet, it was profoundly Significant
One of it's meanings was, that the Pope con-
sidered himself and has east inupoStu'e as
much at home, IN this country, as IN France,
Spain, PORTUGAL and ItaIy. Tn short, THAT
THE UNITED STATES WERE WON
70 RONAN CATHOLICISM.
Another meaning of the announcement was,
that the Inquisition IS set up IN Amoerica.
Nobody made any outcry. The secular
press was silent. It dares not offend the Ro-
man hierarchy.
The sectarian press was mum. It writhes
with such a chronic case of belyache over
the heather, that it is nearslghted as to what
is happening at home. Besides, the Cath
olics have hoodooed our Protestant preachers
by suave and modifying pleadings for char
mony" and toleration-the Protestants fur
nishing all the liberation.
So things rocked along The Roman hier-
archy wheedled the good -natured Taft out of
100000, to which they were not justly en-
titled; and the Republicans gave them an APP
preparation of money every time that Con-
gress assembled.
One good turn deserves another, and the
Catholics made Mr.. Taft President. The
gratitude in the case was of the kind that has
a lively expectation of future favors A very

Florence, March 15-( (Specal.)-Ths charge made in the grand jury report that County Treasurer Hugh M. Davis had paid himself more salary than the law allows is completely refuted by the minutes of the commissioners court, which has jurisdiction over such matters and grew, out of a misunderstanding cf the law by the inquisitoral body.
 The code provides that the treasurer shall receive 21A per cent commission from the general fund up to the amount of $lO00 per annum and in addition to this he is authorized to collect the same commission from special funds. The amount so collected by MT. Davis amount ed to s15S.74 for the 12 months ending February f. at which time his accounts and vouchers were examined by the com missloners court and found to be cor rect
 MT Davis is a popular and efficient official and is now serving his second term His friends regret that through a misunderstanding he was put in an erroneous light.
