no doubt are that they are intelligent

smoking is depraving, disparaging, AMI
intolerable. As to smoking being do

tention Of these people to the fact tt at
the larger portion of the great men
OF this country smoke and these gentle
men are highly respected all over the
country both In social and busine IS life.

EXPLAINS CHURCH
SYSTEM OF PARISHES
To the Editor of THE TIMES. :

To the Editor Of THE TIMES.
This answer about the Catholic
churches being SO crowded that we do
not have to seek larger membership
is very foolish. Does he not know that
there are certain boundaries or parishes
in every city and all Catholics within
the limits Of that parish attend the
church therein. and when the church
can not longer hold the congregation
there is another church built, and so
another parish created? So YOU see II
does not make any difference how many
members there are we are always pro-
yided for. AS to his own question, was
ne IN earnest? II so he need only at
tend the church to learn that every
thing in the church is public except
the confession: that Is with our self and
God and none Of his business.

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
There were great differences between
the powers Of the wealthy STAKEHOLDER
of the South and those of his slaveless
neighbor. Consequently there was little
sympathy between them. But even
among the slaveless there were possible
future holders. For Caucasians any,
where might come in and own slaves.
In a few rare instances free negroes
were themselves the owners of other
negroes.
The fluctuations in wealth, as is ever
the case in our barbarous social system,
followed the generations of the slave
holders. Then came the fearful losses
Of our civil war. The immediate precipi-
tation of that war was an attempt by
the Shareholders to prevent rero
by secession. But the result was both
revolution and confiscation. That war
swept away the so-called right to slave
property. The losses in that war were
a heavy penalty for the Caucasian race
to pay. And 1t had to pay 1t because
of the salveholders' plutocracy. But the
Caucasian race was the race that bene-
flied by the abolition of negro slavery.
That race in the South has made a
greater ratio of progress without sla-
very than II had ever made with 1t.
And the benefit was due to the success
of the side whose incentive originated
in envy. H. H. SWEARINGEN.
