THE COST
Of A Quarrel The Longest
Strike on Record.

In WestmorelandNCounty, Pa. the
longest strike on record still drag:
on. y. S Crapsey has just finished
mplete investigation and makes
thrilling report in the August
American Magazine.
1t is coal strike. and it has been
going steadily on since March 10,
1910. On one side are the operators,
ard on the other side are the United
Mine Workers of America. The
operators are organized. but they
object to the unionizing of the men.
the quarrel really started over that
point. Then questions of pay, con
dltions of labor, and so on, became
involved.
But it is the cost of the quarrel
that is most interesting how. The
United Mine Workers have actually
paid out million dollars in cash to
the men who are on strike. The
operators have spent half a million
for extra police protection. Untold
millions are the loss through limita-
ton of output and increased ex-
penses.
Twenty lives have been lost, and
unspeakabe suffering Incurred.
Babies have been born in the open
fields where the strikers have
camped out. Sickness has abounded.
Drinking has increased. Moral de-
generation has set in. Physical
weakening of the men has taken
place. IL is terrible story.
The war is coming to a close be-
cause the miners have exhausted
their resources and must give up.
Mr.. Crapsey, who writes in great
fairness. says, in conclusion.
mo one could be with these men
for any length of time without feel
ing for them pathetic admiration"

III politics, in matters of involving
faith, morals, or Catholic rights, the
clergy are the leaders and teachers OF
the Catholic body, and their instructions
will be obeyed.
In matters purely political, such as
the Initiative and the Referendum, the
clergy have no divine authority to guide
the laity. One citizens opinion is as
good as another citizens of equal ability,
experience and sound judgement. A
voter must follow, in regard to them,
his own reason and conscience, as to
what is best for the public veal.
In questions, entirely secular, the clergy
have no wish to interfere as Clergymen.
They have a right to their own views as
citizens. But they have no desire to i'm
pose their opinion on any one else.
And in such question, indeed, if any
one attempted to give instructions, he
would find himself without following.

The Stanley steel investigating COM
mittee of the House will continue its
probe of the steel trust. The efforts Of
Wall Street to bring the investigation to
halt have failed.
1t being obvious that the House will
not heed the command of special privil-
eye to stop the investigation, it is even
doubtful now whether the proposition Of
forcing the investigating committee to
abandon its inquiry will ever come up on
the floor of the House. But if the mat
ter does come up, it is certain that the
House will stand by the committee and
order it to go on with the hearings.
This marks a new order of things. In
the past the steel trust has been able to
have bills sidetracted, delayed and
finally chloformed i'll committees of the
House. All this is today impossible.

In his authorized interview given to
to the Press on Thanksgiving, President
Taft confessed a number of things that
may prove troublesome later. Thus he
said
my chief objections to a need
lessly high tariff is that it nourishes
monopoly It holds forth a constant
temptation to the formation of little
trusts which often are more directly
oppressive to the consumer than big
ones.
Mr. Taft admits then that standpat-
ttrs who deny that the tariff is in any
way responsible for the high cost of liv-
ing or the existance of trusts are guilty
of prevarication, The confession comes
late, but better late than never. The
limitation of admission to 'heedlessly
high tariffs" Gas though there were
any other kind, and to little trusts -
is not important. 1t is usual with cul-
prits, who have much to confess, to be-
gin by conceding the truth of only a
very small part of the charges against
them.

At Single Tax Conference held in
Chicago on Nov, "a, Is and 26, a good
story was told by w. A. Douglass, of
Toronto:
A local School Board of a Canadian
town ordered the British flag hung on
the wall of every school room. An
equally loyal teacher called the attention
of her pupils to the flag and asked if
they could tell why it was there. There
was no answer for a while, when finally
a bright youngster at the head of his
class, held up his hand saying Please,

10, 1861, the one event that
~ blotted out all other topics in
the public mind was the Trent
affair The report of this was printed
in the New York papers on the morn

generally throughout the country un-

most unbounded excitement, the north
eXulting over the arrest of two of the
chief men of the Confederacy, James
NJ. Mason and John Slldell, commits
sioners respectively to Great Britain
and France. Outwardly the south
was indignant, but secretly it was as
exultant as the north, hoping that the
incident would precipitate war be-
tween the United States and Eng
land, the two commissioners having
been seized on board an English YES
sci.
The arrest was really made on Nov.
8, but there was no way to get the
news to the United States until the

The arrest Of Mason and Slidell was
almost universally applauded in the
north. One reason for the acclaim was
the prominence Of the prisoners. Both
men had been members of the United
States senate, and one of the secreta

and had married the daughter Of Il
prominent Washington banker As for
Captain Wilkes, he became the hero of
the hour. The secretary Of the navy

law on the subject and stated that
most of the authorities supported
view that would justify Captain
Wilkes act. 1t also dwelt upon the
fact that England had uniformly in
sisted on the right of search even in
times of peace; therefore her govern
ment could not object to the arrest Of
the two commissioners without stulti-
flying her own record. Yet the most
farsighted men Of the time feared that
Great Britain would seize on the Incl

There seems to have been a great
amount of sneering at the Socialist par
ty of Los Angeles, Calf, for getting so
numerically licked at the recent munici-
pal election in that city. The sneering
smacks not little of common old hys-
terics. But the reason is self-evident.
What are the facts? The Socialist at this
election cast $1,000 votes. Their pre-
vious high vote was 11,OOO. Most par
ties would think they were setting the
prairies afre if they we're to make such
gains at any election. In the face of un

At first Christmas was what is
known as a movable feast, just as Eas-
ter is now, and owing to misunder-
standings was celebrated as late as
April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was or
dered, and upon the authority of the
tables of the censors in the Roman
archives December 25 was agreed up
on as the date of the SaVior's nativ-
ity. Tradition fixed the hour of birth
at about midnight, and this led to the
celebration of a midnight mass in all
the churches, a second at dawn and a
third in the later morning.
