The House Of Commons in England
has austs,reyised the Kings oath. In
the revision was declaration objec.
tipnables to3the Catholics and an effort
was made to make it less distasteful.
As first drawn up the oath made the
King say: "and declare that I am a
faithful member of the Protestant
Church, by law established in Eng.
land"
The Nonconformists complained
that the words "as by law establish
ed" gave fresh sanction to the "Estab.
lished" Church, which they want to
disestablish and disendow. Premier
Asquith thereupon struck out the foul
words.

BUSINESS NEEDS PEACE.

Tho well known New York banking
:yrm, j. S. Bachc & Co., in its Weekly
Financial Review recently called attcn-
tion to the peculiar fact that business
men arc supporting papers and maya
zines that arc doing their level best
TO hurt business. This may be one
OF the truths that is stranger than iic-
ton. but it s done every day, We
quote tho following;
ut is time to bring Politics face to
face with consequences. ana THIS can
be done only by forceful retaliation,
This the business interests are fuzzy
capable of. Great and small business
concerns are spending hundreds of
thousands of dollars in advertising in
magazines and papers that are doing
their best to hurt business interests
Lot these vast sums be Withdrawn anu
placed with publications having sound
business policies and who do not PAM
per to the tcmpers and pre1udtces OF
unthinking people. Advertisements are
fully as important to publishers as
subscribers. Why should business pay
for its own roasting?"
A similar statement was made at
recent meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Hosiery and Underwear
manufacturers, by its president. Mr..
=. w. Simons, who. according to an
item In Loslics Weekly. declared that
'.nuck raking publishers" who were
striking the heaviest blows at the
prosperity of the country were fattcn-
ing on the proceeds of the advertising
their victims were generously giving
them.
The fact thus brought before the
business world should cause some seri-
Gus reflection. Publications that keep
up i constant agitation by which bust
moss conditions get unsettled, are not
worthy Of support Publications that
are kept alive by strife and contention
are Il detriment to n community and
do not deserve public support Sooner
or later the effects of their work Will
be felt iii depressed business conditions.
This Is. or should be. n country OF
perfect liberty and equal opportunities,
Any agitation that has for its aim the
curtallment of the prerogatives OF
American citizenship, as. for instance.
the anti-"Mormom' agitation OF the
tribune; or. The exploitation of one
class at the expense OF another, must
result in business depression and dis
nster. And when it comes II strikes
all alike. II business men were really
awake to their own interests they
would always use their influence for
pnncc and harmony and cooperation
between citizens.

SELLING LIQUOR.

The st. Louis Court Of Appeals has
decided that detectives cannot legally
urge and induce the sale of liquor. The
Missouri statute provides that the sale
of intoxicating liquors to q minor Is
violation of law
In this case Estate vs. Feldmam u
father and minor son, detectives for,
the Anti Saloon League, entered one
Feldman's store and ATTEMPTED to buy
a beer. Feldmnn refused to sell ex-
cept at wholesale. as he had whole
sale government license. The two then
left Later in the day they returned.
The father. the ruling and directing
spirit. stayed outside while the son
bought a case of beer, not as bower
age but as evidence OF selling to min
ors. II appeared that the father had
received money to use in their occupa-
ton of detectives for the Anti Saloon
League, ana turned over part of 1t to
his son: that the father accounted for
the beer bought OF Feldman in his re-
port OF expenses. and. with his SON,
agreed that the son was to be pushed
to the front to get F'eldman to violate
the law.
The st. Louis Court holds that, under
the facts, the beer was sold to the Ia
Their and not to the son. and that the
statute was not intended to create an
ofrense, where, ms in this case. the ,ac-
cuscd was induced and urged into the
commission of Il crime not otherwise
intended by him.

NEW ORLEANS RESOLUTIONS.

.
Some of the resolutions adopted at
New Orleans by the Catholic societies
there assembled in convention, sound
rather strange on this side of the At
lantic
The republic of Portugal was de-
nounccd and President Bragg, and his
associates were scored for persecution
of Catholics. SO say the dispatches.
The National Educational association
was denounced for attempting to set
up in this country an educational trust
as a menace to individual liberty and
to the primary rights which every
American citizcn enjoys Of choosing the
kind Of education he may wish to give
his Children" The convention also pro-
tested against Bible reading in public
schools deprecated the use of public
funds or of public buildings for lee
turo courses In philosophy, literature
or science urged the establishment OF
more parish schools and demanded
"somc equitable compensation" for the
secular education given in Catholic
schools. Furthermore, Congress was
urged to amend the postal laws so as to
include within the scope of prohibition
literature books. papers, writings and
prints which outrage religious convlc-
lions and contain scurrilous and slam
deroua attacks upon the faith" Dis
examination against Catholics in the
public service was condemned. and
h,,1i m
make prompt and vigorous protest
against the publication in newspapers
or magazines of any article offensive
10 the church and to withdraw support
from publications that paid no heed
TO such protests.
some OF these declarations are truly
remarkable, The denunciation of the
new Republic is. to say the least, in
bad taste, when coming from citizens
of n Republic. who should rejoice in
the dissemination of republican prin-
ciplcs all over the world. The protest
against persecution Is timely. but not
the dcnunciation of the Republic.
The protest against the reading OF
the Bible in the public schools frequent
~ comes from those who reject the BIZ
Bile and fear it's moral influence, while
many friends of the Bible hold that thu
reading OF 1t in the schools would be a
bcneh, to the children from every pon,

RAILROAD CHARGES.


The right of the federal government
to regulate railroad charges has been
practically conceded by the Pullman
company,
For more than twenty-five years the
sleeping car berth rates have been kept
at high figures as the public viewed
tho charges. The nsistent demand for
a reduction has at length caused the
company to Yield. The lower bcrths
will be reduced in price, and the upper
berths will be rented at a lower rate
than is charged for the lower ones.
This reduction comes from the wish
on the part of the company to avoid
conflict with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and is regarded as OF
much Significance.
The bearing of this move Of the car
company upon express charges is being
discussed. 1t Is generally believed that
express rates are far too high, and
that the express companies are the
main obstacles to the establishment of
n parcels post.

ONE.CENT POSTAGE on DROP
LETTERS.


Provided Postmaster General Hitch
cock does not find it advisable to ask
the next Congress to reduce the rate
upon All iirst-class mail matter to
cent. as he now hopes to do, he should
not fail to ask the reduction upon drop
letters. The United States can well
afford to carry letters mailed in Syra-
cliSc for delivery in Syracuse or upon
the rural routes out Of Syracuse for
cent. There would he profit to the gov
crnment In handling this business at
the ono-ccnt rate. Farther, the reduc-
ton would mean y great Increase in the
amount OF local mail handled and
great convenience to local merchants,
who. while they may send circulars FOR
Il cent must pay 2 cents upon each bill
sent out, In some cases II Is found
cheaper to use the postal service.
Whatever the course of the nostofiicc
department with regard to first class
mail rates generally, the letter mailed
