TO ABOLISH POVERTY.

Mr. Joseph Fels, who makes soap which he sella
at profit, proposes to abolish poverty by the eH
penditure of ''his swag' accumulated under the
present SYSTEM" according to Lincoln Stefens III
the American Magazine, Mr.. Fels may be de-
scribed as picturesque character In the world of
trade. He disclaims any tendency toward Social
ism in his proposed reform by which he is to abol
ish poverty and In this respect differs from most
of the other reformers he places his faith in the
single tax theory of Henry George. In the maza'
zine mentioned, Mr.. Fels is quoted as saying to
the Chicago City club in an address delivered last
March: eve can't get rich under present condi-
lions without robbing somebody. Eve done it; you
are doing it now, and I still am doing it" We
fear his ideas of business, getting rich and rob-
berry, viii not be accepted by those who able to
accumulate a surplus by selling goods at profit
nor, indeed, by great many others who are not
able to accumulate surplus.
But his point of view is interesting because, by
abolishing the System" by which he got rich (and
is getting richer) he proposes to abolish poverty.
Of course, he won't do that But his agitation may
abolish the System" by which great fortunes ara
built up at the expense of the many. For instance
he might make possible an explanation as to why
last March, with hogs on the hoof selling around
81, bason sold at 80 to cent2s a pound for the
best grades, while now, with live hogs selling at
about SO, the same best grades of bacon quoted
at 40 cents a pound. Poverty will not be abol
ished by such an explanation but part of the hard
struggle to make both ends meet will be explained

THE CENSUS FIGURES.

The population of the United States proper,
according to the figures of the thirteenth decen-
NAL census, is 91972,266 and of all its possessions
more than one hundred and one millions. The in
crease in population during the last ten years is
virtually sixteen millions or about 81 per cent over
75,994630, the figures of the twelfth census, made
in 1900. The increase during the past decade is
slightly larger than it during the previous ten
years, this increase being caused by the rapid de-
velopment of the west. Utah stands as the forty
second state in population, with increase of o.,
602, or 34.9 per cent over the last census. The
state of Washington increased 1904 per cent;
Oklahoma 1927 per cent, and Idaho 1913 per cent,
these three states showing the greatest increases,
and the only states that doubled their population.
To appreciate the growth of the nation since
its foundation, it is only necessary to point out
that there four states-New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois and Ohio-each of which has a
greater population than the whole country in 1870,
with the state of Massachusetts, one of the orig
inal states and now sixth in the list lacking only
562,79S of equalling the population of the nation
when the first census was taken. Nowhere else In
the world since history began, believe. has ma
ton advanced so rapidly as has the United States
In the 100 years that have gone by, the population
has increased twenty-five times. The director of
the census attributes the growth in the last ten

made uncomfortable in number of cities of

shingles, by looking at it.
He had, at the time of our story just completed
a splendid new warehouse at Buffalo, and wanting
an active and intelligent young man as bookkeeper
he advertised for in the Buffalo Courier. Early
the next morning a candidate for the position, a
rather fashy young man, applied for the position
and this is what occurred:

any of our books, how would you correct it %
The young explained, in very elaborate
manner how he would proceed to make it all right

Turning on his questioner with look of sur

make false entries or mistakes when am keeping

"Ahl my dear sir, you are just the man am
looking for" and the young man who corrected
his bIunders by not making them was installed IN

THE PHoNoGRAPH.

These men who carved the hieroglyphcs upon
the rocks in that ancient day must have felt that
they had made most wonderful advance in the art
of recording knowledge for the benefit of future
generations, yet their hieroglyphics all but
ineligible now. Yet those prehistoric people had
conceived the idea of writing, very crude doubt
and it took many centuries for mankind to develop
the art. And many centuries rolled around before
the art of printing made possible the reproduction
of books and papers in large quantities. Writing
and printing have made it possible to record our
knowledge for future generations. And the knowl-
edge of the past three centuries is ours today
through the records left by the printing press The
advantages we enjoy over the ancients we hardly
appreciate, for books are so common nowadays that
we seldom think of the difficulties encountered in
keeping record of even the history of the family
or the race by word of mouth from generation to
generation.
Now, however it is proposed to keep record
of the voices of the great men and women of the
world so that the future may know, not from de-
scrptions but from hearing, just what their voices
are like In Paris the idea has been conceived OF
making and maintaining library of voices by
maens of photographic records These records
will be gathered in a national Institution for the
benefit and delight of future generations. How
wonderful and how treasured would be records Of
the voices of the men and women of the past gen
erationl What price could induce US to part with
a record of Lincoln's address at Gettysburg of
Washington's farewell address?
1t is doubtful is any records that may be pre-
served will ever be of the same practical value
the printed words of the great of the past
have been, but there will be a sentiment attached
to them that will make them Invaluable. What with
the camera, especially as developed in the nation
picture machines, the appearance of present
generation may be preserved indefinitely. The
monograph offers the opportunity to preserve also
the sound of our voices The progress in mechan-
cal things in the past thirty years has indeed been
marvellous

RIOT OR REVOLUTION.

We refuse to be convinced by the writer of an
anonymous letter to the editor of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic that the people of Mexico are justi-
fed in opposing the present government of the
southern republic, and claiming that the 'revolu-
tionists" are animated by the highest form of
patriotism. At the same time we must maintain
that the lrevolutionists in our own country were
animated by the high motives with which our I'M
known correspondent clothes them. The Revolu-
ton of 1916 was real revolution. The legitimate
governments of ALL nearly all, of the states in
volved united in repudiating the then existing gov
eminent under King Georges rule, and in estab-
fishing new government-new in more ways than
one, for it made the people the rulers The seces-
sion Of a number of states which brought on the
civil war technically revolution and would
now be considered such if it had been successful.
But, lacking success, it is looked upon as hav
ing been rebellion The states which united in
forming the confederacy set up form of govern
ment, and in that respect they constituted revo-
luton. In the histories of other countries may be
found many examples of revolutions, most of them
contaminated by an uprising of the people against
the relying powers.
But there is no revolution in Mexico. No states
have united to overthrow the government of Diaz.
Indeed, not single state has repudiated that gov
eminent or declared provisional government of its
own. As far as can be learned, no attempt has
been made to organize a provisional government
and so far there has been no indication of gen.
eral uprising of the people So the revolution"
in Mexico can hardly be cassed as a revolution.
or even an instruction or a rebellion. It must be
more properly designated riot or series of
predatory raids not only against the government,
but against the citizens of the republic. The ac-

THERE rs NOW NO ORIGINALITY OF
THOUGHT.

Judge Rentoul of London, England, is phil
osopher much admired by the English people.
Speaking at banquet recently, he gained much
applause by describing the following as the four
teen important mistakes people make in this life:
To attempt to set up our own standard of right
and wrong, and expect everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment of others by
our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in this world.
To look for judgment and experience in youth
To endeavor to mold all dispositions alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifes.
To look for perfection. in own actions.
To worry ourselves and others about what can
not be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that needs ale
Walton.
Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of
others.
To consider anything impossible that we cannot
ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite minds can grasp
To live as if the moment the time, the day were
so important that it would live forever
To estimate the people by outside quality,
for it is that within which makes the man.
In the course of his speech Judge Rentoul told
a number of amusing anecdotes. One was of the
clergyman who told the bride-to-be that it was
very serious thing to get married ''Yes," was the
answer "but it's serious not to get married"
Among the aphorisms employed by the judge
were
"a young lady's nose is undoubtedly prettier
than a bulldogs nose but we find that the bulldogs
nose is about FIVE times as good at smelling"
If the judges hosts were familiar with the 'Im
itation of Christ" by Thoma Attempts, they would
remember that eleven of these mistakes are to be
found in that most excellent little manuel. The
other three are scattered through the "Medtations
of the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, who in
these meditations of detached thoughts and SEN
fences gave to posterity the results of rigorous
determination. Many of these mistakes may
also be found here and there among the ''Maxns'
of the French philosopher, Rochefoucauld. 1t is
impossible to be original today unless it be in our
manner of expressing old truths. We can cloth the
thoughts of the dead in apparel, but cannot
think or say anything that has not already been
thought or said. So true is it that, outside the
circle of mechanical and structural invention,
"there is nothing new under the SUM-

NO PLACE FOR BLUNDERERs.

Here is an interesting story that may influence
for good the All Hallows student who wrote to us
some time ago. 1t is of a prominent whom
we knew intimately forty years ago, and who al
that time, owned more steamboat stock than any
other one in Michigan, besides possessing much
wealth, independent of his steamboat shares.
Like many another man who has acquired great
wealth, he was painfully ignorant in all that books
taught, but he was a man of sound common sense
