Early American Attempts

VALIANT legal attempts to combat high
prices of commodities were made in this
country during the American Revolution.
The Continental Congress asked the thirteen
States to pass laws that might amend the
high cost of living. Massachusetts, in l777 tried
bravely to do her share by passing statute
that limited the price of farm labor to three
shillings day in summer and fixed the price of
wheat at seven shillings sixpence bushel, rye
at five shillings a bushel, not to mention the
prices of salt, rum. sugar shoes. molasses. cot
ton, beef. flannel, wool, leather. cloth, and
-four No citizen was allowed to have more
food or other commodity in his house than he
needed and was compelled to sell the surplus at
a fixed price. This law was repealed the same
year that it was enacted.
New York State in 177S fixed the wages of
1aborers and mechanics. the price of most COM
modities and regulated the profits of trades
men and merchants. The law was repealed the
same wear. In 1856 it came to the attention of
New York legislators that authors might be
partly responsible for the high cost of living by
reason of their excessive charges for their liter
airy wares. and after profound consideration a
law was passed restraining the greedy author
from asking too much money for his manu-
script.

THE "SINS OF THE FATHER"
A PLAY OF INTEREST
Next Attraction in Americas Presented
on 18th Inst.

Those who witness THE Sins OF
the Father" at the Americas opera
house on Tuesday evening, 18th inst
will see a Southern play by a South
erner who knows his subject The
playwright referred to is Mr.. Thomas
Dixon, author of ''The Leopard s
Spots" TIE Clansman," THE Trai
tor" Comrades" and many other sue
cessful plays and stories. Attention
Is called to the fact that THE Sins Of
the Father was written by an expert,
because right now alleged Southern
plays" are being offered by writer's
whose ignorance of the South is abys-
NAL. Men who know nothing of the
social code, Of the INTERPRETATION of
races, of the psychology of the white
man and of the African, dare to come
forward and present imaginary scenes
embodying their absurd ideas about In
ter-racial conduct. Such efforts may
fool audiences thousand miles away
from the actual scene of the race
problem, but they cannot impose on
all tie people Mr.. Dixon's The Sins
of the Father" handles without gloves
the subject of the intermixture of
races. 1t goes straight to the mark
but it does not offend the proprietles.

BATTLED IN PERIL OF
LIFE in THE ARENA
Pickett, Of lOl Ranch, Fights
a Bull in the Ring.

The presence Of President Diaz 10
the Mexico City bull ring a few
months ago is ali that saved the 101
Ranch Wild West from the fury of
10000 of his fellow countrymen when
William Pickett, an Ok ahoma cow
boy with the 101 Ranch successfully
fought, bare handed, the most drea1ed
bull OF the country. He Is the only
man in history who ever performed the
feat and escaped alive.
All the republic Is still talking OF
the recent afternoon when Pickett
leaped TO the horns OF the Infatuated
bull and battled with it succ essfully
for seven and half minutes.
When the tremendous audience real
lied that the animal lad met its match
and that the cowboys funeral would
not take place in Mexico, as they had
fondly hoped, and that their own be-
loved matadors were being belittle1
before the world, they hurled cushions,
bottles, fruit, stones, canes and even
opened knives at him as he batt.ed
for his life.
Not one person lifted hand or voice
in defense or protest, and that ne
emerged with his life is due only to
the quick wit of his comrades.
AS soon as Pickett was outside the
bull ring barrier, However, the gov
eminent acted quickly.
Five hundred soldiers were hurried
TO the scene and the mob, then trying
70 wreak its vengeance on the entire
body of Americans, was driven from
the bull ring. United States Ambas-
sador Thompson, too, was there 20
demand protection Next day an Off
cial letter of apology was received by
Joseph c. Miller, president of the 101
Ranch.
That memorable afternoon will be
lived over again VIXEN the 101 Ranch
Wild West makes it's appearance here
on Wednesday, November 9Th. Pick
EFT will struggle for supremacy with
"a savage, long-horned Texas steer,
and spectacle is promised that will

CATHOLIC Weeks
ARE TO BE HELD
To Bind Faithful Together
Throughout Land.

Washington. D. c., November A.
Catholics in Washington and through
out the country are inaugurating a
movement TO establish an annuai
Catholic week to be held each year in
a different city, the first meeting to
| be held here.
Plans for such a meeting will be
presented at the federation of Cath.
Ollie societies which will convene in
New Orleans within the next two
weeks. Under these plans it is pro-
posed to assemble Catholics, men and
women, from every parish and do
cese in the United States for the pur-
pose of giving them an opportunity %
become better acquainted with al
methods of Christian education and
philanthropy, thus establishing strong
er bonds of Catholic membership and
broadening every branch of church
orl1.
| An important and far-reaching con-
.
making the meeting feasible is the fact
that The delegates to the various ma
/ 4ynal conventions could meet at the
same time and therefore, at the same
expcnsL attend not only their own con
vention, hut also others.
The Very Rev. Alexander C. Doyle
. r. C
sion House at the Catholic University
is enthusiastic over the plans. He
said yesterday:
In my judgment the planning for
such an event for a week is on en-
! tirely 700 narrow lines. A week will
certainly not be long enough to al.
low each agency to have a distinct
voice. Instead of a week it ought to
( be fortnight. or, better, a month
! Let rs work the idea out on the ba-
sis Of an American Catholic month.
| i can see all the big Catholic OF
izations of the country brought to-
gether during some well-cLosen
month when everybody can attend in
Chdiago or New York. Such a Catho-
lie month will draw to the city select
ed easily 100000 visitors. If one Eu-
charastic congress could attract 240.-
900 visitors to Montreal, certainly "a
catholic conventions could draw twice
that number during a month in any
of our large cities.
A crowd of this kind would be
pre-eminently worthy of being cater
ed to. The Chamber of Commerce of
chicago was ready to put up $500, 900
70 entertain an American Eucharastic
congress; so would any city put up
literally to entertain an Americ an
Catholic month.
