that it enables them to charge one
cent a pound for handling the same
matter, shipping over the same road,
and paying big dividends as well.
1t is urged that the government go
into the parcels post business anF
forbid the express companies from
carrying parcels within the limits of
the postal regulations. Germany car
ries parcels up to 100 pounds in weight
at 1-3 of cent a pound and Canada
up to II pounds at IA cent. Both
countries show large profit in this
department.
1t is claimed that these criticisms
clearly indicate where The deficit
lies, and if reforms were carried out
IN such directions as to wipe cut these
causes for complaint. the result would
be as efficient a service as that enjoy
ed by other civilized countries.
1t is pity that administration can
not see its way to take OUT the report
of the postal commission from its
pigeon hole and give congress an OPP
portunity of acting upon it. The doc
trine of equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none is one which
is apparently more honored in its
breach that its observance, but the
signs of the times individually show
that this is the condition of affairs
Of which the average American citizen
is getting particularly tired, and on
which he will certainly seek a re-
form which will be all the more dras
tic the longer it is delayed. 1t took
November election to awake some
machine politicians as to seriousness
of the country's desires but "a little
more sleep-we will slumber again"
is lack of policy which will not
recommend itself to the electorate.

POSTAL SERVICE
ATTACKED
Continued from page II

furnish private individuals with cheap
err freight and passenger rates than
ence from this is that Uncle Sam is
paying the railroads for the inesti-
mable privileges they grant the pri-
vate individual in this country. Yet
1t is strange that these same private
interests are yelling hugely about eX
CesSive FREIGHT rates. There seems to
be something strange in this connec-
ton.
The next assertion is that the gov
eminent pays the railroads four times
as much as do the express companies
for mail hauled on the same train.
and five times as much as Canada
pays for the same service. This is
backed up by quoting the recent an
nual report of the New York Central
railroad, which gave its total earnings
for one year on express matter at
$3.50. 900, and on mail matter at 81
$4,000. At the same time the New
York Central takes averagely G4la
cars daily of mail matter and more
than twice that amount of express
matter.
The assailant next proceeds 20 in
nuendo by saying that the reason why
so much is raid for this ser"ice by the
postoffice is to be found in the fact
that the Second Assistant Postmaster
General of the country is in charge
of this department and in his de ,art
ment are frequently TO be found rail
road men who upon leaving invariably
return to the railroad,
On second class matter the govern
ment charges the publisher one cent
pound and then pays the railroad
nine cents. Now Canada only chars
es the published one-half cent a pound
and yet manages TO end the year with
a postal excess instead of a deficit
Some Chicago tinanciers three years
ago wished To handle postal matter
at the Canadian rates, one cent q
pound for tirst-class mail matter and
one-half cent for second class, and
thought they saw their way to &
profit.
While the railways charge the gov
ernment nine cents a pound they
make rate 10 the express compa"
les so low. according to Mr.. Babcock

extra session in March if the Canadian
agreement is defeated by fiibuster
this session. For time there was
the general belief that extra session
talk was merely bluff, intended to
force a vote.
President in Earnest
This opinion is dying out. and 1t Is
now generally accepted as true that
the President is entirely in earnest
and will do everything in his power
to get definite action on this agree
mcnt one way or the other. OF course
the President knows thar definite ac-
ton. if it can be had. will be favorable,
and that is why ne is all the more de
termined to have the agreement voted
upon.
A number of senators from border
states have presented to the senate
from day to day. petitions from their
legislatures. from commercial organ
against the ratification of this agree
ment and setting up the argument that
its ratification would prove injurious
to the interests of the farmers. the
lumbermen the fisheries. etc, in the
northern tier of states. This is done
in order that they may have someth-
ing on which to lay back in case the
President succeeds in forcing the
agreement to vote Such protests as
these would ordinarily justify any sen
ator in resisting the President on a
matter of this Importance.
Memorials Not Representative.
The great difficulty will be that the
President will be able to show that
the senators in question have pre-
scented memorials on only one side
OF the question and have suppressed
similar petitions favoring the ratifi-
cation of the treaty.
Never before in his administration
has President Taft been so thoror~hl!
convinced of the righteousness of any
cause as he is now in reference 10 this
Canadian agreement. He maintains
that nothing but good can come OF it
and denies the allegations that various
American industries will suffer If ii
should be put into operation. On the
contrary. he maintains that great
benefits will result. both to the United
States and TO Canada. and in this he
seems 10 be more generally indor~~
by the newspapers throughout the
country than he has been on any 9th
er issue that has arisen since his in
auguration.
The power of the President is srear
and President Taft is exercising thai
power in a way that ultimately vii
win. He may not secure the ratifica
ton of the agreement at this session
but he will in the end. When the enc
will come nobody seems to know

WEAR YOUR BADGE.

The Importance OF having on the

emblem is the subject OF paragraph
In one OF our exchanges. Some weeks
ago a lineman on the Third avenue

accident. When he was being ex-
amined a Catholic standing by noted
that the man wore a scapular and
hurried for a priest Death occurred
within half an hour OF the accident.

minister the last rites OF tn church.

Extreme Uncton would not have
been possible. Too many persons are
careless In wearing their scapular.
Sometimes they lay II aside and for

Is torn they neglect to replace II
Immediately. Catholics should al
ways carry with them some emblem
Of their holy faith.

LOOSE CHANGE.

The power Of loose change, as
serts the Rochester Citizen, Is not
fully realized in America. The
nickles and dimes give the chief
support to the churches of the ma
ton. The magnificent contribution
of the millionaire dwindles to the
proportion of the Widows mite when
compared with the great total. 1t is
the loose change carried up to the
altar rail which meets the mort
gage, pays the pastors salary and
sends missionaries to the four cor
ners of the earth. Go through the
books of the big charitable institu-
tons, and you will find how
dependent they are on the small
givers-on loose change. The
millionaire philanthropists OF the
nation would be appalled, at their
responsibility II the support Of the
,i givers was withdrawn from
the charitable institutions. Close to
s14, 100000 a year in nickles flows
into the Golfers of the local street
railway company and creates a
business to attract Morgan or a
Vanderbilt. In the end it is the
housewives nickel which pays FOR
the harvests of the millions OF
acres of golden grain. 1t is the loose
change which keeps the wheels go
ing and the world moving.

HITS THE NAIL.

The Catholic Union and Times of
Buffalo hands out the word with the
bark on 1t always, but this is from
the latest edition:
1T is recorded that Pittsburg,
Boston, New Orleans and Detroit
are large American cities now pre-
sided over by Mayors who profess
the Catholic faith. But If these
officials do no more than profess,
then their administration will be
as sounding brass. A Catholic
Mayor should prove himself to be a
thorough law enforcer-an uncom-
promising foe of all the low-down
schemes of the grating politician. "

Catholics holding offices higher up,

TRUTH IN THIS.

The editor Of the Washington
Post speaks truthfully when he
says: THE young misses are often
more intent upon displaying a
superior taste for applied millinery
than upon demonstrating what
schooling has done for their mental
processes. This tendency to over
dress begets a rivalry that sorely
taxes the resources of modest homes
and which can have no compensatory
advantages"

SILENT SERMON.
Church I'm Heart of New
York Where Busy Men
Pray.

Perhaps there is no place in New
York City where the faithful exercise
the efficacioHs ministry of good ex-
ample more powerfully than at noon
day in old st. Peters, Barclay
street. Between the hours of II
and / hundreds of men and women
of every rank and profession in life
enter its venerable portals to pray
to Christ ever present on the altar,
for the living and he dead. And
what a spectacle 1t is! The deep
lines OF care may be seen in some
OF the faces that look to Christ.
Upon others suffering has left its
impress. Age has stiffened the limbs
of net a few In that silent multi
tude OF worshipers. The poor kneel
side by side with their more pros
porous brothers. Young men neatly
dressed as well as maidens fair can
be observed in the throng mingling
with those of maturer years. Some
linger for a moment, others longer.
Not few are telling their beads in
honor of Mary who gave us Jesus.
The Way of the Cross, that COM
pendulum of the Redeemer's love for
men, is being made all the while by
a devout band OF earnest souls. In
that MONDAY congregation many
may be noticed reading their favorite
prayers from well-worn books of de-
votion. Whatever form Of piety oc-
cupies the thoughts of that busy
work-a-day crowd of men and
women, there is one common pur-
pose all have In view, and that is to
profess publicly their belief in Jesus
Christ in the Eucharist. to acknowl-
edge openly their submission to the
hardest of all his sayings: This is
my body, this Is my blood"

ABLY ANSWERED.

The International Catholic Truth
Society in its most recent leaflet
publishes the answer of Adolph
Laibke. noted German writer, 10
the question: why do Catholic
governments prosecute the church,"
His answer is well worth reading.
He says:
Catholic governments do not
prosecute the church. Governments
OF Catholic countries do, but such
governments can not be called
Catholic. France is Catholic
nation, but the Government of the
French republic is infidel. Catholic
governments so-called have always
been very docile when the church
had anything to give; when 1t ceased
TO give, or when their particular
interests elashed with It's general
interests, they protested, resisted,
rebelled as pertinaceously as any
Mohammedan power. The State,
Protestant or Catholic, represents
the world, is ruled by worldly men,
according to the maxims of worldly
wisdom, and therefore not according
to the wisdom or rule of the church.
To expect from any government In
our age a disinterested and con-
tinuous obedience to the spiritual
order is to expect what never has
been, and from the nature of
governments can hardly ever be.
mo families in Europe owed
more to the church than the houses
of Bourbon and of Hapsburg, and
none others we're so Systematically
ungrateful. Louis XII. OF France
and his contemporary, Macmillan
of Austria, after being admonished
and reproved by Leo X. became
enemies OF the church. Nor was this
political hostility confined to
monarchies. Venice and the Hance
Towns, which owed everything
during their infancy to the Holy
See, denied everything to 1t in their
maturity. They could not serve
God and Mammon. AS DR.. Arnold,
an English writer, said: They re-
garded men solely in the light OF
buyers and sellers. considered other
points as comparatively unimportant
and in order to win customers
would readily sacrifice the purity Of
morals or religious institutions 1t
was In the trading towns that the
Reformation made most progress
and II was to a great extent the
work Of the bourgeoise. In every
age politicians" says Herr Lubke In
concluding, "who have obeyed the
impulses of pride and selfishness
have waged war on the church. And
50 II Is. always and everywhere. We
need not be surprised therefore to
sec the infidei rulers OF France and
Portugal prosecuting priests and
nuns and others who refuse to bend
the knee to their worldly IDOLS"
