THE cHuRcHMEN's WARNING.

"There are at least two prominent
opponents of the initiative and refer.
endum and the recall" the Sioux City
journal declares, who will not be
stigmatized as in league with the in
terests.' They are Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Ireland, two of the
most widely respected and highly
esteemed dignitaries of the Catholic
church in America. In his golden
jubilee sermon at Balnmore on sun
dav1 october 1, Cardinal Gibbons is
sued a solemn warning against the
political propagandists who are advo-
eating pure democracy as substitute
for the form of government prescribed
nv the constitution. His objection ran
not only to the initiative and referen-
dun and recall panaceas, but to the
popular election Of United States sen

Thomas A. Edison. Before we can
fly across the ocean it will have to be
IS per cent machinery and Is per cent
man" This is expressing it in way
that will accord with the average mans
views Of aviation. A cool head, plenty
of nerve and some knowledge of me-
chanics will pilot an aeroplane half
way across the continent. But an in
experienced or nervous pilot would
come to grief before he crossed the
border Of the county in which he made
his start. Well wait until the science
of aviation gains that other 70 per

tackling the air If they could make 1t

cANADA's PROSPERITY.

Winnipeg Telegram: For tho first
time in the history Of Canada, the
dominion note circulation has passed
the one hundred million mark. This
represents an increase Of nearly $1O,-
100000 of dominion note circulation
during the three months, May. June
and July. A table published by an
eastern financial publication says that
the government note circulation has
treb1ed in amount in less than ten
years. The law n provides that TOR
every dollar In notes issued by the
government In excess Of thirty million
dollars, there must be held dollar
in specie in the treasury vaults, and
for The issue UP to thirty million dol
lars reserve Of twenty-five per cent.
Consequently, the government now
holds q specie reserve Of vi 5000
so that dominion notes arespracttcally
as good as gold certificates.
Probably one reason for the large
increase last summer has been that
the exceeding prosperity 3Of the coun-
try has exhausted the authorized cir
culation of many OF the banks. For
some time past the banks have been
applying for permission to increase
their note issue, and this permission
went into effect on October /. In the
meantime some of the banks have ex-
hausted their bills and have fallen
back on the government notes until
such time as they can issue more OF
their own. This is the reason that 30
many 81 notes and other fractional
denominations are in circulation at
the present time. 1t might almost be
said that for the time being the In
creasing volume Of business In, Canada
has overtaxed the elasticity OF our
banking system.

In the winter, when the weather
conditions were perfectly adjusted to
meet certain occult exactions ne had
come to require, Yancy could be induc-
ed to go into the woods and there Ia
Dor with his ak. But as he pointed out
to Hannibal, poor mans capital was
his health and he being poor man It
behooved him to have a jealous care
of himself He made use OF the dnll
DAYS Of mingled mist and drizzle Tor
hunting work being clearly out OF the
question: one could get about over tie
brown floor of the forest in silence
then. and there was no sun to CLINT
the brass mountings Of his rifle. Inc
fine days he protested to regard with
keen suspicion as weather breeders,
when it was imprude4t to go far from
home. especially in the direction OF
the Crenshaw timber lands, which for
years had been the scene Of all his
gainful industry, and where he seem
ed to think nature ready to assume
her most sinister aspect. Again in the
early spring. when the young OAK
leaves were the size Of squirrels ears
and the whippoorwills began calling
as the long shadows struck through
the pine woods, the needs OF his corn
ground battled with his desire to fish.
In all such crises Of the soul Mr..
Yancy was fairly vanquished before
the struggle began; but to the boy his
activities were perfectly ordered to
yield the largest return in content
ment.
The Barony had been offered for
sale and bought in by Crenshaw for
eleven thousand dollars, this being the
amount Of his claim. Six months lat
er he sold the plantation for fifteen

tutional institutions under which
our government has developed and
which he described as the palfa-
dunn of our liberties. Archbishop Ire
land in his address to the Society of
the Army OF the Tennessee at Council
Bluffs followed the lead OF Cardinal
Gibbons, addressing his argument
specifically against direct legislation
and the recall of public officials,
which he described as neither more
racy.
These great churchmen have not
meddled in. partisan politics. They
are now directing attention to move.
,ment which is nonpartisan or b.
partisan. They have no feeling either
for or against the political leaders who
are aiming to float along on the flood
of popular excitement they are trying
to let loose. The churchman's oppo-
sition must be based on the conviction
that there is something fundamentally
harmful and injurious to the people in
ostensible remedies proposed for the
common good. Their arguments are
entitled to and must receive con-
sideration, free from the suspicion OF
base, Interior motive.
1.-THE warning cry from Cardinal Glib
bons and Archbishop Ireland should
give pause to the feet Of those who
are hurrying after the so-called re-
form politicians who are promising to
save the people from hazy calamity by
a new route. The immediate pre-
sumption Is that Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland are just as wise as
Senator LaFOllette or Senator Bris-
tow, and vastly more disinterested."

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Pella Chronicle.--Would it not be
we'll for parents who have children
attending school in the town to take
interest enough in the schools and the
children to visit the schools at least
one time during. the term? We hear
parents complaining Of the schools
who have no more knowledge Of how
they are being conducted than resi-
dent of China has. We do know that
strangers who have visited our
schools have gone away and said that
we have the best schools of any town
in the country. What should the
people of town feel prouder of than
good schools? What will bring good
class of people to any town more rap
idly than good schools? Parents, go
to your schools and see for your
selves, and don't accept idle reports
about your schools and the teachers
as facts.

If we could have two or three per

again. BY all means let's have at least
three primaries a week hereafter.
Sioux City Journal. President
Taft does not speak with view of
exciting enthusiasm. He speaks with a
view of imparting information. He adj
dresses himself to the sober sense of
his hearers. He Is not out for the
purpose of tearing something to tat
ters or to put his strength into wav-
ing red rag. 1t Is convenient, there
fore, for the populistic leaders to say
the president has excited no enthu-
siasm But it is really of some conse.
quence that the president has shown
himself sincere and that he has dis
cussed public questions with candor
and intelligence. His speeches, widely
read, constitute the substantial con-
tribution to the political literature of
the year.

large number of men were in the

rifle firing could be distinctly heard
in Juarez and also the sound OF the
occasional discharge of artillery.
Orozco is said to have mountain
howitzer with him.

Several times the insurrecto hospt-

when they first attempted to storm

daylight came they found that the
federals had intrenched themselves
during the evening and Fad brought
a gatling gun into play.
The loss of the federals was not

when night fell they would advance

They outnumbered the federals. they
had the hills to fight from behind.
while the federals were in the valley
and had to pass them to get to
Juarez.

of them captured Mausers from the

supply OF ammunition, and did not ap-
