Committees Named by President of Order.

Ideal weather conditions marked the
opening of the Golden Jubilee of the
st. Joseph's Catholic Benevolent soci-
ETY. yesterday. The day was perfect in
every particular and the success of the
affair was beyond all expectations. 1t
is estimated that between six and sew
en- thousand visitors, including dele
gates and representatives from Cath
olic societies all over this section of
the country. attended the monster eel
ebration. which was without doubt the
most elaborate undertaking of its
kind ever attempted by similar or
ganization in this state
Every train arriving in the city in
the morning and many of the interur-
bans brought hundreds of visitors. Be-
fore noon the streets of the city were
thronged with mass of people and
the problem of feeding the gigantic
crowds soon resolved itself into inter-
esting proportions. Over fifteen hun
dred were fed at the st. Andrews
school hall by the ladies of the church.
1t was the intention to serve supper
there also, but in view of the fact that
practically everything was disposed of
at noon, only light lunch could be
served. All of the restaurants and ho-
tells in the city were filled to overflow
ing during meal time. and they all did
one of the biggest days business in
their history.
Parade the Feature.
Beyond all doubt the grand parade
in the afternoon was the feature OF the
Jubilee. Catholic societies from Indi-
ana. Ohio and Kentucky. including
several companies of Uniformed Rank
knights and number of bands, drum
corps, participated in the march
through the principal streets of the
city, gaily decorated in honor of the
occasion. John Hafner. Sr., lead the
parade and was assisted by Peter
Geier and Peter Bode, assistant mar
shals.
Some idea of the length of the par
ade may be determined when it is
known that it required twenty-three
minutes for the pageant to pass CIV
en- point. 1t is roughly estimated that
fully 1900 were in line. There was
music all the time. One band would
cease playing only for another to strike
up. and thus it continued. The parade
was delayed somewhat by several ac-
cidents along the line of march. At
the corner of Fifth and Main streets

President Taft is universally con-
demned by newspaper editorial COM
ment in the east for his action in the
Ballinger case. Privately, his own
friends in congress verse their shame
and disgust at his action in impos-
ing upon the public. by permitting
the predating of Wickersham's men,
oranda on the CLAWS charges and by
allowing Ballinger and his associates
to prepare their vindication, which
the president held out to the public
as his own. The New York Sun con-
demns the president and the attorney
general. 1t is the opinion of the re-
publicans in congress that no other
act of the president has contributed so
much to make him Unavailable as a
for denomination.

Poor Beveridge! He was beaten
because he could not get his candi-
dacy to a vote. The liquor interests
OF Indiana did not propose to sacri-
flee the chance Of reopening saloons,
simply to give Beveridge a chance to
make his reelection the issue. Coun-
ty option was the issue in Indiana be-
tween the two parties, the democrats
against, the republicans for. The
election of a democratic legislature in
Indiana means the repeal Of the coun-
ty option law more than it means dis
approval of Beveridge's record. This
suggests the necessity OF popular
election Of United States senator's If
1t is desired to register the real will
of the people with reference to them.
Perhaps when there are more United
States senator's like Beveridge, will

A PARTY.s CRUSHING LOAD.

/ kansas City Star: All factors in
yesterdays elections were incidental
and relatively insignificant as COM
pared TO the Payne-Aldrich Tariff
Law. That was the load that bore
down and crushed the Republican
party. The big Democratic majority
for the national House of Represen-
tatiyes. the gain OF eight or more
seats in the Senate and the net
Democratic gains all along the line
denote DISTRICT of the Republican
party rather tnan increased conf
Once in he Democratic party. The
country voted against one organst
one organization rather than for an
other. And the protest was strong
enough to make itself felt even in
the states where the party represen-
tation remains numerically unchang-
ed.
The Republican party promised to
revise the tariff downward. The peo-
pie expected such revision, and with
it some reduction in the excessive
cost of living. That promise was
broken. The people were betrayed.
The wave of resentment was set
against Congress, but it also includ-
ed the national administration be-
the people believed that the
President, nominated and elected on
a downward revision platform, had
not done all he could have done and
should have done to procure the full
fllment of the party pledges.
But the most striking aspect of
the general returns is that the pro-
gressive movement has been sustain
ed. The Republican losses are con-
fined almost wholly to those states
where the local organizations, Of
Gals and politicians followed the lead
of Cannon and Aldrich. The plurali-
ties of some of the progressive con-
gressmen We're cut down, but that
was to have been expected as a re-
suit of standpat retaliation. Wher-
ever the Special Interests could con-
troll they directed voters to support
any kind of a candidate as against
a progressive member of Congress.
But these decreased pluralities for
progressive congressman are incense
quential as compared to the defeats
or reduced pluralities of the more
numerous standpat members. The
returns indicate that the progressive
Republicans who voted against stand
pat members far outnumber the
standpat Republicans the interests
could command to vote against the
progressive members.
Therefore, the result of yesterdays
elections in general is a progressive
victory rather than a Democratic
victory. 1t means that the people
are determined to abolish the gross
and burdensome evils of the tariff;
that they are ready to support the
best men and measures available to
bring this about; that in states where
this movement is not we'll organized
and, there nevertheless has been a
big turning against the party in pow
er. And it means that il the gains
of yesterday are to be OF permanent
value to the Democratic party, that
party must deserve the accidental
success that it has achieved.
For the people are going to get
control of the government for them
selves. The party medium, new or
old, is a secondary consideration.

-1-.-yT. iarSS msn we're very 0N-
popular before the struggle over the
tariff began. an6 that struggle ia
creased the enmity that was felt to-
ward them. We cannot estimate the
effect OF tactional lighting or the
elections az this time, but it is Ger
tain that the progressive Republicans
read the public mind Alright and took
the urse that was dictated by
sound craftsmanship.
While the standpatters were stand

important factor in the discussions
that We're raised Yer prices. Every
housewife is talking high prices in a
decidedly unfrisndly mood, and the
Democrats lave found it easy to
make party capital out OF this fact.
How far the tariff really has affected
prices it would be di--oGlt TO say,
hut the feeling was that it might
have exercised considerable influence,

WINGED that property Is the big Oh
stacle in the pathway of h%rotherly
love. He has for many years lived
as a peasant, Notwithstanding as a
count he inherited a valuable estate.
He refused to accept a cent OF royal
ty for his numerous writings. all OF
this going to the Russian govern
ment. Upon his wife fell the full
burden OF supporting and educating
a family of nine children. while her
husband not only did not help her
ito increase their insufficient income,
but did what he could to diminish it.
Finally ne demanded that they give
it all to the poor and take up life
as peasants. This the countess re-
fused to do and after a time her il
lustrious husband left her with a
note saying he could no longer live
surrounded by luxury and that he
would end his days in solitude.
Tolstoi's philosophy is a part OF
his religion, or perhaps it would be
more accurate to say that his relig-
ion is a part of his philosophy. He
has for many years believed in n
resistance of evil. And now he has
passed the test imposed upon the
rich young man by the Nazarene
who babe him give all that he had
to the poor.
1t will be said that Tolstoi is in
sane. In fact as much is intimated
in the dispatches, Notwithstanding
tie consideration with which they
are written. md why insane? Be-
cause he refuses to recognize the
claim of the selfish desire for COM
fort or luxury. 1t is more than con-
|ventional to want to own more prop
erty than our neighbors. AS in this
case any one who does not confess
to such a desire, is thought to be
suffering from some sort of mental
lmalady. Yet there are millions upon
millions who profess allegians to the
Teacher who, two thousand year ago,
had not so much a a pillow upon
which to lay His head. II all We're
to do as Count Toistoi wished his
family to do, what would be the re-
suit? The answer must be written
in all the varying phases of human
nature, The vicious might surrend-
err to the power of brotherly love. But
no one knows for it has never been
tried. Jean Vatican was a human
character and he stole from the bish-
ops hand that welcomed him to a
place of shelter. And yet that SIM
pie act of kindness wrought a revo-
luton later in the soul OF Vatican.
Perhaps the time will come when
history will say that Tolstoi was sane
and the world insane. Perhaps 1t
will be recorded then that when +, en-
grew to the moral height t 1t
brought them above the level of
greed, the love of him who gave be-
got the love of him who received and
that at that moment came the nrstI
glimpse Of heaven on earth.
