WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, now
the STAR, August II, 1861, published
the following:
Colonel Egbert L. Viele. one of the
best officers in our service, is complet-
ing the organization of the First Regi-
ment. Lieutenant-C Colonel Tore, of this
regiment, was formerly captain in the
British service.
Those wishing to enter a New York
regiment for immediate service could
not do better than by enlisting under
Lieutenant Forbes at 1876 Market street,
this city.

NEWARk,s RAILROAD DEATH-TRAPs.

VA HY should there be any need for any inquiry to learn the
WV number and character of the grade crossing death-trapsi
within the cHys limits? Why should not the Board OF
Works always have a full description of all grade crossings IN the
city on file in the office? These crossings have existed for years,
and they have never been hidden from the official eye. Victim
after victim was sacrificed at crossings, and the Board of Works
made no sign. 4 list of thirtythree crossings has now been MADE
by the board and submitted to the Public Utilities Commission at
the commissions request. The promise is given that the commits
sion will have the crossings Investigated, Some of these crossings
have gates, with gatemen at certain hours; others have hagmen,
and still others have neither. But we are now to learn what the
Public Utilities Commission regards as being proper protection for
the public at railroad grade crossings There may be no decision
in any one case in a year, but we can wait.

A sALARIED HOUSE OF COMMONS.

NAME means employed to keep the membership of the House
w of Commons out of the reach of men of small means has
been the lack of salary for the members. Men of ability and
patriotism who could not afford to give their time gratuitously to
legislative duty have been debarred from taking nominations. The
Irish nationalist members, mainly men of small means, receive
support out of a fund subscribed for that purpose. A bill passed by
the House Thursday night provides a modest compensation for
members and opens the doors of Parliament to men of ability and
character on equal terms with the more opulent. 1t effects an
important revolution in the Commons coincident with the greater
Dne in tie House Of Lords.

RAPID TRANSIT AND CIGARETTES.

T~obacconists say that whenever a
new line of rapid transit is opened be-
tween New York and the suburban
towns the sale of cigarettes is at once
stimulated. The reason is that men
who ordinarily smoke cigars discard
these when the brevity of the ride
makes it impossible to take more than
a few puffs before the end of the jour-
ney is reached. AS a substitute they
resort. for awhile, at least, to cigarettes

False Economy.
To the Editor of the Evening Star; d.
The cut in the yearly appropriation
for the City Hospital has peer instru-
mental in having made public the con-
dition of affairs at the institution and
the Evening STARS recent publication
of the facts showed that the appro-
priatfon was not the only thing want
ing at the hospital. 1t is highly COM
mendable of the finance committee of
the Common Council to cut the public
expenses wherever possible, but it is
apparent hat the city Hospital is not
the place for c~urtailing appropriations.
The statement of superintendent Tai
bot in the Evening STAR was clearly
an announcement from a mar thor
oughly familiar with the situation and
not the loose talk of a muckraker. He
told how the appropriation would have
to be increased or patients turned out
of The hospital. incidentally Mr.. Tai
bot revealed the fact that the hospital
-, 0ff1 Aao pCSi III "a inv
ing more patients than 1t was de-
signed to.
Our City Hospital is one of the most
important public buildings; just as i'm
portant as the City Hall, the school
buildings or other municipal institu-
tions. Much depends on the efficiency
of the hospital, especially during such
emergencies as the High street fire or
the recent torrid wave. While no Sc
rious epidemic is prevalent in Newark
at present, hal does not justify the
city fathers action in cutting down
the estimated expenses at the hospital
during the coming year. 1t is far
more preferable to have more than
enough than not enough in an insti-
tuition of this kind. Although it is
hoped that we do not have occasion
to appreciate this. we should not over
look the fact that you never can
tell" and we ought not have any false
economy. CONSERVATIVE.

The thorn in the side of many bank
rupt concerns in Essex county is John
w. Cowan, expert accountant, who not
only tells where the deficiencies are,
but proves a veritable snag for the
lawyers who cross-eXamine him. Sew
eral members of the bar have spent
much time in efforts to break down
Mr.. Cowan's damaging testimony, but
the witty Scotchman can not be
budged. After trying vainly for an
hour to make the accountant contra
dict himself one day in Referee Edwin
G.. Adams's court a lawyer threw up
his hands and said: Hes the toughest
proposition l ever tackled"
John b. Smith, one of the constables
of the Circuit Court, Is a picturesque
figure, a m type of the soldier of the
Civil War. He is of German and
French extraction and served his coun-
try long and well. AS a result of his
service his left arm is off up to the
shoulder and one of his ears has had so
many pieces clipped off by Confederate
bullets that it is just about the size of
a quarter of a dollar. Constable Smith
also carries solid reminders of the
"irrepressible conflict" in certain parts
OF his body. With all the plunking of
the bullets at him, however, he is as
straight in figure as the traditional ar
row, although he has long ago reached
the years when the ordinary man be-
gins to stoop.

AMERICA NEEDS THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH..

America today stands in peculiar
need of that contribution which the
Roman Catholic Church is peculiarly
fitted to furnish. For the chief peril
to America is from disorganizing
forces and lawless spirit; not from
excessive organization. One of the
chief lessons Americans need to learn
is reverence for constituted authority
and willing obedience to law. This
lesson the Roman Catholic Church is
peculiarly fitted to teach. And within
the reach of it's influence are those
who most need to be taught. That
Church is q vast spiritual police
force, protection of society from the
reckless apostles of self-will. But it
is far more. Wherever it goes it
teaches submission to control, and
that is the first step toward that
habit of self-control in the Individual
which is an indispensable condition of
self-government in the community.
The Outlook congratulates
America upon the evidences of spirit
ual prosperity in the Roman Catholic
Church in this country, and it CRATE
fully appreciates the services which
that Church is rendering to the com
munity by intoxicating the spirit of
reverence for law and lawful author
ity which is the foundation of civil and
religious liberty

DIOCESE OF CROOKSTON.

Crookston.-The Diocese Of Crooks
ton has been incorporated.
The new Cathedral school, in course
of erection, is being rapidly pushed
ahead. The first floor consists of club
and shower bath rooms, gymnasium
and a large meeting room. The Sec
ond floor has schoolrooms only, while
the third one contains large audi
forum, apartments for the Knights
of Columbus, and schoolrooms. Ac-
cording to the general opinion it is the
finest building in Crookston.
East Grand Forks.-The annual
financial report of the Church of the
Sacred Heart of East Grand Forks Is
a remarkable showing. It gives great
credit to it's jealous pastor, the Rev,
James Hogan, and bespeaks the faith.
full cooperation of his generous par.
ishioners. The erection of parochial
school is expected to materialize in
the near future.
Warroad-Rev. Father Beyne, of
Warroad is doing all in his power to
rebuild the missions of Beaudette and
Spooner, recently destroyed by forest
fires.

Religious instruction
i'm Italy.
Demanded by School Children.

Speeches delivered in the Chamber
of Deputies on various occasions have
gone to show over and over again,
Notwithstanding the pressure of Ma
sonic influence to conceal the truth,
that the great mass of the Italian peo-
pie are adverse to the abolition of re-
ligious teaching in the schools. 1t is
cessions were made by the Govern
ment to the anti-clerical members, by
which religious instruction in the
schools was placed in the hands of the
communes, coupled, however, with GER
tain clauses enabling parents to claim
the right to have their children receive
instruction in religious matters in the
communal schools outside of the or
binary class work, If the municipality
were anti-religious. But on no occa-
sion has the Government taken upon
itself, as in France, to Danish religious
teaching, pure and simple, from the
schools of the country. The can
nuario Satisfied" of the Italian cities
for 1909-10 contains important Stats
tics relating to the same subject. 1t
is stated therein that special inspec-
tor, who visited over five hundred of
the most important communes of the
kingdom, has given the following re-
suits concerning the demand for re-
ligious teaching in the schools: All
the pupils asked for and obtained it
in Caltanisetta, Naples, Treviso, and
Vicenza, whilst almost all made de-
mand for it in Busto Arsizio, Novara,
Penero1o, and Venice. Ninety-eight per
cent. of the pupils wanted religious
instruction in Bergamo, 80 per cent. in
Bella, 73 per cent. in Como, So per
cent in Cuneo, 80 per cent. in Lodi,
"a per cent. in Milan, SO per cent. in
Modena, 40 per cent in Mona, "a per
cent. in Rome, 81 per cent. in Turin,
Is per cent. in Viareggio. Data have
not yet been furnished as regards Cal
tagirone, Savone, Vercelli and Viterbo.
The other cities remain without relig-
ious instruction. The practical lesson
of the special inspectors report is
that the parents of the more important
cities of Italy fully appreciate the ben
efits of religious teaching in the
schools, fact with which Masonic
Ministers of Education will have to
reckon.

which demands that a whole class be
mitted by one or the other of it's mem
bers. The Church especially can never
be destroyed. The idea, as well as the
attempt to do so, will ever remain a
mad quixotic heresay. Her power is
not from men, hence she does not fear
them. In order to give proof of my
faith in the Church, declare that I
repudiate and retract all the works
and poems written by me which con-
tain anything not in harmony with my
present position of mind, for they are
blasphemies against Christ and His
Church. The works which I do not
disown, and which my friends shall
one day place on the simple coffin in
which am laid to rest, are the second
Anti Christo,' the 'Senhora da Melan-
COLA and the gentle Historic de
Jesus which I wrote in happy hour
From this day on my way lies clearly
outlined before me. I shall ever de-
fend the blasphemed word of Christ
and His prosecuted. With the same
sincerity with which I have until now
combated these sublime ideas, I shall
henceforth stand up for them, and my
greatest joy would be if it were to
be my portion to lay down my life as
a martyr amidst the prosecuted, the
conquered, should the just succumb
in the cursed battle waging today"
