Keeping Life White.

On the side Of a. certain coal shaft
grew a plant which was perfectly
white. Visitors were astonished that
there. where the coal dust was con-
tnually flying, this little plant should
be so pure and white. A miner took a
handful of coal-black dust and threw
it upon the plant. but not particle
adhered. Every atom Of the dust roll
cd off. There was a wonderful enamel
on the folds of the white plant to
which not the finest speck could ad-
here. Living there amid clouds If
black dust, nothing could stain it's
Snowy whitencss. This is a. picture
OF what every Christian life should be.
IT God cun keep little flower STAIN
less amid clouds OF black dust can
Nc not keep our souls and hearts free
from stain in like purity in this world
Of sin It we but ask Him?

Billy Sundays PREACHING,

Here is the story of David and Go
Hath as, according to Harper's Week.
ly, it was recently told by Rev. Billy
Sunday, the rough and ready Prot
estant revivalist, with appropriate ges-
lures, to a rapt congregation of 5000
listeners:
"And SO David's pa comes up to him
where he was working in the field and
says: Dave, better go up to the house.
Your mas anxious about the other
boys fighting in the army; hasn't heard
from them by phone or anything, ana
she'd like you should look them up.'
So Dave hops on trolley and hikes to
the front and stays there with his
brothers overnight.
I'm the morning old Goliath comes
out in front of the Philistines and
dares the Israelites to fight him.
"Who is that big stiff making all
the big talk out therc?' says Dave.
"'why, that's the head cheese, the
big noise says his brothers.
"'Why don't some one soak him
one?' asks Dave.
We've all got cold feet says the
Israelites.
You fellows make me tired saws
Dave, and he hikes out to the brook,
gets four pebbles in his shepherds
sack, slams one at Goliath and soaka
him in the coco between the lamps.
Goliath goes to the mat, tskes the
count, and Dave pokes him in the stats,
chops off his block, and the whole
Philistine gang skidooed."

CATHOLIC CONVERTS.
Number in this Country Last Year
was 28,7O9,

The record OF conversions to the
Catholic Church during last year, as
revealed from official and carefully.
compiled figures before the Congress-
Of Missionaries at Washington. indi-
Gates the tremendous progress the
Church is making throughout the coun
Try, says tho Rosary Magazine.
The statisticians of the Apostolic !
Mission House place the number cf
converts for 1908 at the great figure
of 2S,7O9. These figures were received
from the report of chancery Offices, and
while some few returns are missing,
stIll with these few exceptions that
figure, 2S,7O9. represents the aggregate
OF adult baptisms in all the diOceses of
this country.
In 1906, in preparation for the con-
gress Of that year. there were found
IT, be 25,O55 converts. Two years later
the number had grown to 2S,709, or
G,644 more. In 1906 it was difficult to
get exact figures, for in many chancery
Offices there was no note taken of con-
vcrts at all. In some dioceses they
were u negligible quantity. Since the
congress of 1906 the idea had so grown
that with very little difficulty accurate
results have been secured.
In compiling the returns the impress
sion has grown that quite percentage
OF converts are never recorded. None
of the converts who have been validly
baptized as Protestants and therefore
received into the Church on simple pro-
fesslon of faith are included in the
lMt, and also a percentage of adults
baptized on reception into the church
are not recorded for some reason or
another. Probably 10 per cent would
cover these categories.
Adding this to the actual figure st.
record it would run the aggregate 10
$3.50. However, to be conservative
We shall accept as a sterotyped figure
for convert making in the United States
III one year 2s,7o9, and we feel that we
tre well within the mark.
The figures range from 1.491 in New
York to Il vanishing quantity in some
places. 1t is noteworthy that in the
F., dlnccses where apostolate bands are
established the numbers rise above the
average. as, for example, New York,
;,A91 converts; Cleveland, 737; Mobile.
4SS.
In New England convert making :s
very much below the mark. There
were only 1,722 converts in a population
of over 100000, or one in 1900, while
the average for the country at large Is
about one in sos.
The Southern States have an en-
viable record of about 1000 converts ip
a Catholic population.of 100000. Cath
olicity has made it's way in these States
in spite of strong Professionalism and the
opposition of rooted prejudice and bit
tcr antagonsn. In these States an,
active and aggressive missionary work
Ehas gone on for the last few decades
oc years. @

has been very remarkable falling off
in the calikre of platform Orangism
Of late years. There was time when
one could read the oratory with gem
uine delight. No doubt a great deal
of its fun was unconscious. But there
must be some merit in man who will
make a bit of fun, although uncou-
sciously. Nor is the blood and thun-
der-which, of course, never was un-
conscious-as good as it used to be.
In every respect almost the Twelfth
threatens to become an annual disap-
pointment.
But however dull the orange orator
may become, he will never succeed in
eliminating wholly the farcical ele-
ment from his performances on the
glorious Twelfth. 1t will be noted, by
the way that all the Representative
Orangemen' who spoke during the
celebrations" this time, fouted the
idea that Home Rule is dead The
Earl of Erne, who performed at Bel
fast was quite emphatic on the point
ut was the fashion," he said, ITO say
that Home Rule was dead and buried
and that it was only alarmists like
himself who kept on trotting it out as
a bogey to frighten old women. Home
Rule was not dead, nor was it buried;
and if at the general election, which
could not now be very distant, the
British electorate did not realize this
fact, and turn out Of office the present
Radical, Socialist and Home Rule ma
jority, then never in the course of this
controversy, for the last quarter of n
century would the cause of the Loyal
lists of Ireland be in greater jeopardy"
OF course Home Rule is not dead, and
never can be killed as long as Irish
Nationalists stand solidly by the ma
tional flag and Loyalty and unf1inching-
ly support the Irish party in parlia-
ment. Not only so, but the amount
of life in Home Rule depends alto
gether on Irish Nationalists them
selves, and on the degree of unity they
maintain i'll their ranks: 1t will also
be noted by those who peruse the re-
ports that King Edward had better
look out for himself 4and mend som.
Of his ways if he is to keep Orange
tongues off him. At the "demonstra-
ton" in the Orange hall, Dublin, one
reverend orator referred to the coro-
nation oath. "If the king liked,'' he
went on, che could attend in a Cath
olic church." And he does, too some
times" interjected an indignant voice.
ut is great pity he does," said the
orator, "and he ought to be told th
truth. The king may become Ro-
man Catholic if he likes, but then ev-
cry loyal Orangeman would demand
that he stand down from the throne"
Now that ought to be sufficient warn-
ing to last for the next twelve months.
Hands off the coronation oath" is
the Watchword Of the moment. But
then it used to be Kick the Queens
crown into the Boyne," and Hands
off the established church of Ireland"
AS we have said, it used also be
Hands off the Orangeman"-even
when he smashed the head Of a Bril-
ish soldier or constabulary man. But
times have changed.

TAX
I TO STAND
Is FIRM AND WILL
INSIST ON THE ADOPTION OF
THE CORPORATION TAX
AMENDMENT.


WASHINGTON, July 15.-That
President Taft stands right where he
stood all along and will insist on
the adoption of the corporation tax
amendment is the substance of re-
port made at the tariff conference to-
day by Senator, Aldrich and Repres-
entative Payne,l Leaders Of the Sens
ate and house, were at the White
House late last night having been
summoned by the President to ex-
plain the persistent rumor that the
corporation tax proposition was in
danger of being dropped in con-
ference.
The big disputes over the tariff
bill will be fought out between Sena-
tor Aldricht and Representative
Payne acting for the senate and
house respectively, with President
Taft serving as umpire so as to per-
vent any drawn battles. This was
ecide to ay by the conference COM
mite appointed by the two branches
of congress.
No formal action was had in con-
ference giving the two leaders es-
pecial jurisdiction to take up the
tariff bill after an informal discus
sion, and it was further said that the
schedules of lumber. iron ore, OIL
coal, iron and similar raw materials
could be best adjusted by the tariit
leaders who knew the tempers OF
their respective houses concerning
these disputes. OF course, any de-
cisions that are reached by Messrs
Aldrieh and Payne will be reviewed
bv the full conference
President Taft it is said. was some
what dubious over the heavy IN
crease made by the senate IN the
duties on champagne and other wines
and spirits. France, who supplies
large portion of the champagne
used in the United States, might pc
affronted by the advanced rates IL
is feared. In the opinion of the sen
ate conferees importations OF cnam-
pagne used will not decline under the
high duties proposed and the IN
dications are that the senate amend
ments will be adopted.

RENO, New, July 15.- Because
Donnels C Steinmetz of Reno, whose
bid was $4,000 higher than theirs,
was awarded the contract to furnish
the governor of Nevada's mansion,
the John Breuner company, through
its attorney, filed suit at Carson City
this afternoon against Governor
Dickerson, d. M. Ryan, state treas
urer; J. Eggers, state controller, and
w. G.. Douglass, secretary of state,
as board of capitol commissioners,
enjoining them from paying money
to Donnels & Steinmetz for furnish
ing the mansion. Most of the fur
niture has already been placed in the
mansion.
Immediately on filing the paper-, .
writ of INDUCTION was served upon
the governor and his assistants. The
Breuner company intimates that the
contract was made to Donnels &c
Steinmetz because the members of
the firm were of the same political
Affiliations as the members of the
capitol commission. The case has
aroused more than usual amount
:, interest here. 1t savors strongly

STATEMENT
BY SM()0T
REVISION or TARIFF NOT UP
WARD-UTAH SENATOR SAYS
1T ALI DEFENDS ON METHODS
OF COMPUTING.

WASHINGTON, July 15-Turn-
ing upon critics who have charged
that they are revising the tariff up
ward, members Of the senate finance
committee deny today that such is
the case. A statement was prepared
by the committees report and was
given out tonight by Senator Smoot.
Commenting upon the statements
made yesterday and today by Senator
La lFollette that the senate bill is
5 65.per cent above the Dingley law
based uponsthe importations for 1907
Senator Smoot said it all depended
on methods of computing. Taking
up the Dingley law from the year of
its passage, Senator Smoot figured
that the average ad yalorems were
as follows;
In 1898 they were 1910, aud in
1899 they we're 57.07. In that year
the importations of Injuries were
very large. In the succeeding nine
years, from 1900 to 1908, inclusive,
the average ad valorems were 1924,
1854, 1903, 1924, 44.16, 42.55 and
42.z9.
Inc low dQ NdlOtbIH average Vi
42.55 in 1907 is explained by the
panic and the falling off in the inn
portations of luxures.
Senator Smoot speaking on cham
pagnes and other wines and spirits,
declared that the average ad valorem
would amount to only 43.44 per cent,
which is lower than all except the
two last years under the Dingley law.
Mr. Smoot pointed out that by
eliminated articles, recognized pure
ly as luxuries, the ad valorem aver
age under the senate bill would be
less than 40.0f per cent. This is less
than any tariff bill in the last twenty
years except in 1896.
The ad valorem average of the bill
on all articles of necessity was given
as 15.49 per cent.
Senator Smoot complained that ar
ticles transferred from the dutiable
list to the free list are not taken In
to consideration by senate critics in
figuring al valorem averages of the
pending bill.

the acts which have been charged to
her.

Short. 'if you ever attempted to sell

Much to the surprise of prosecutor
and spectators P. H. O'Donnell, coun-

Barrette without asking any ques-
tions.

from Canada, who had known the de-
fendant. The testimony of Cana
