Az 70 Merry Del Val.

Reports that Austria, 1.-The most
Catholic Of all countries" is preparing
to exert its great influence toward Sc
curing the removal of Cardinal Merry
del Val as papal secretary of the state
and supplanting him with Cardinal
Rampolla are discredited by many
conservative American Catholics, who
point out that but for Austrias infu-
ence Rampolla might have become
pope instead of Plus x.
This view is entitled to much con
sideration. It may even be doubted II
Rampolla, himself, would welcome
such change even il 1t were in the
mind of the holy father to make IT,
which is extremely doubtful The
policy of the Catholic church is to re-
move high officials and dignitarieE
from office only for remarkable
breaches of conduct, and those who
discount this agitation about Merry
del Val contend that no such charge
may be alleged against him. When
one considers what the pope's re-
moval Of his papal secretary of state
would really mean he is inclined tC
share the view of these. American
Catholics. II would be a violent dis
turbance of the official family of the
Holy See and whatever good might be
ascribed to such a move it undoubt
eddy would have counteracting iniu
ence for harm.
Another very Interesting contention
is made by American Catholics. 1t II
that much of the criticism directed q
Merry del Val is inspired by Italians
who have always begrudged the in
cumbency of this Office to any but al
Italian. While Americans have NJ
special reason for taking the Span
iard's side Of the case, they as q rul,
believe that Italy has her share of thu
controlling influences now and tina
the best interests of the Catholi
church, or the Vatican, do not demand
del Walls supplanting by an Italian
prelate.

Profession Of Diplomacy.

Second Assistant Secretary of State
A. A. Adee, who has Just completed
forty years in the diplomatic service
of his country, stands as a striking ex-
ample of the possibilities of govern
ment employment, too often decried
or discounted by persons OF less un-
selfish impulses. He has gone from
an obscure clerkship to this high posi-
ton, one in which he is a most valua-
BILE instrument in furthering the in
terests OF his country. Secretaries of
state come and go, but this man stays
at the post. His knowledge of the
intricate details, his experience with
the delicate methods, his skill in the
fine amenities of diplomacy, are inval-
liable to his nation, and so his nation
refuses to part with him.
1t is a great thing for an individual
citizen to make himself such an i'm
portant cog of the vast, complicated
machinery Of the greatest government
the world has ever known. Such
service cannot be measured in dollars
and cents. That is why when sinister
critics point with haunting finger at
the lack of opportunity in government
service they show that they do not
know what they are talking about and
are incapable of approaching the real
merit, the actual greatness Of such
service.
But even from a monetary stand
point government service is substan!
tial and will run ahead of the average
giving a good living to those who fol
low 1t. 1t must not, however, be com.
promised by such a comparison, fol-
money cannot measure the usefulness
Of work that goes into the upbuild
ing and maintenance of the master
republic. Young men need have nc
fears on entering their government
employ If they are serious, especial,
now, that the merit system and civil
service are in vogue in all depart
ments. They will not find any lacl
of opportunity, and when they hav,
given as great and long service t,
their country as has Mr.. Adee the,
will be somewhat its creditors.

One conclusion is unavoidable az the
end OF the Roosevelt trip. Mr.
Roosevelt IL still a vitality potent infu-
ence In American national affairs. His
personal, views are as definite and his
procurement OF them as vigorous as
at any time in his active life. The
plain, unmistakable purpose Of various
preachments is also clearly apparent.
He is still the champion OF the square
deal From his opening address at
Utica up to HIS speech at the Hamilton
club banquet in Chicago he did not
evade or avoid the frank and charm
ingly direct discussion of any of the
great questions that are pressing for
solution. Many OF these we're before
him while he was yet president of the
United States, and as a consequence
much that he said during his recent
trip was but the echo of what he had
said or written In his Official capacity
But the echo came back clear and dis
tinct.
Regardless of the personal factor in
the equation, the trip must have dis
tinct influence for good II Theodore
Roosevelt has accomplished anything
at all of service to the people of his
country II is in the line of awakening
the public conscience. He came into
prominence at a time when lethargy
seemed to overcome the people, and
when corruption in politics and bust
ness was rife. The Influences that
were dominant we're not those that
BODIED most good for the nation
Against this condition he hurled his
! personality and the vigor Of his assault
broke down the outer barriers, al
least, and the persistence that marked
his attack aroused the people to the
situation. His course has been direct
along the lines Of his beginning. Al
no time has he assailed the rights oil
anyone, but at all times has he beer
against the wrong that any might do
The honest man, no matter what hii
rank, has nothing to fear from Roose
welt; the dishonest man, no matter
where he may be hidden, has NO, hop,
in anything Roosevelt says or does.
And this is the summing up Of tn,
Roosevelt trip: He is still the mar
directing his power against the evi
that threatens national life. 1t is un
fair to accuse him of insincerity; it II
equally unfair to accuse him Of seek
ing personal advantage. in his course
He has been denounced as dema
lgogue and extolled as a demi-god, anC
through it all he has been fearless
frank, honest American His presenc,
and his influence alike are necessar,
to a government whose. existence de
ponds on the intelligence and con
scientious effort of its citizens.

Very few students of social conditions in
America will be inclined to doubt the judg-
ment Of Cardinal Gibbons in assembling
much OF the discomfort to the effect OF
squanderlng the resources Of the Individual
or family on luxuries which could be dis.
pensed with as well as not. We suppose
however, that many pessimists will differ
with the cardinal in his idea that the con
fliot between employer and employe is moi
rrepressible. He said In his interview, be
fore starting for Montreal:
There is continued unrest between tn,
employed and the employer, and 1t woulC
be most beneficial If this condition couIt
be overcome. There should not be an,
need Of conflict between labor and CAPT
tall since both are necessary for the pub
lie good, and the one depends on the co
operation of the other. Whoever strives
to improve the friendly relations between
the proprietors and the laboring men, BY
suggesting the most effectual means OF di
minishing and even removing the cause o
the discomfort, is benefactor to the com
munity"
The cause OF the discomfort is universe
selfishness. To diminish and even TO re
move 1t is the function OF the church
which teaches that it is more blessed t
give than to receive. Optimlsts persist Il
believing that, governed by the golden rule
workmen and captains Of industry woul
produce such results that the markets o
the world would belong to the Unite
States. 1t is pleasant to note that Cardina
Gibbons rather favors the optmists.

HOME,

j. M. Lewis in Houston Post.
There's little old house on little old
street
In little old bit of a town
Where the honeysuckle is breathing sweet.
And nights as the sun goes down
childish treble is raised In song
That fits In the perfumed Rloam;
And, oh, the days they are hot and long
When j am away from home.
There's little white bed in a little white
In that little old house. upstairs,
And through the window the sweet per-
fume
That the summer breeze upbears
Drifts in and stops whore two little girls
Kneel white In the purple gloam
lAnd pray-and the wind stirs their yellow
For daddy to come safe home.
And the rose trees grow up high.
And the porch is cool, and when days are
hot
The eye Of the passer-by ~,
Looks into the nook where the children
with hearts like the light sea foam,
And the stranger smiles az he goes his way
With whisper whose end Is Homer
There's little woman whose cheeks are
red .., =
And you woAld know by the bending head
And the red lips curving why
That wheresoever HIS paths may lead.
How far, in the world he fares, s.
The mans heart turns when the days
recede 'iiS
& 70 the woman and babes upstairs.
There's big soft place in the daddy'a
heart ,
That aches when the night comes down.
When the woman and he are whole miles
apart,
| And far from the dear old town. ~ ~
| He knows the babies are by their bed -rs
With their mother near by, and then
The whisper comes from each curly head:
Bring daddy home safe, Amen"

Conservation.

Out Of all the wilderness of words
that surround as mist the proceed
ings of the conservation congress at
st. Paul, one fact shines as brightly as
the single star on cloudy night. The
champions of neither view succeeded
in convincing the other. This fact, If
it has any value, must be accepted as
proving that the work of ''cOnserva-
ton" has not yet gotten to that stage
where it can be nationally considered
by any. The advocates of one horn of
the dilemma are just as earnest and
Just as sure of their position as are
those OF the other side, and the result
is that any good that may eventually
come from comprehensive plan of
work for the better management Of
the country's natural resources must
wait on further discussion.
The need of conservation is adj
mitted; the results of wasteful use of
lands, waters, mines and forests are
too apparent to admit Of denial. But
conservation of the useful sort will not
depend upon the adoption Of radical
resolutions, nor the insistence upon
any one man being recognized as alb
solutely essential to the accomplish
ment of the ends for which the policy
is to be instituted. II the people are
to be served by the proper care and
use of the natural resources that re-
main, the affairs of administration
must be handled wisely and with such
prudence as will fulhll the purpose
This cannot be achieved through any
agency that does not carry with It al
least the faith that rests in the gen.
eraI government. 1t will not do TO al.
lege that all the misfortunes that have
overtaken us are due to the insuffi
cheney OF methods; nor will it better

change methods.
To merely rail at corporations be

that would otherwise have lain dor
mant and unproductive. is not to aid IL

natural resources that remain unde
