HELD SUCCESSFUL MISSION

The Catholic mission conducted
at St. Joseph's church by the Pas
,lonlst Fathers, Rev. Harold and
Rev. Cyril of Chicago, solemnly
closed Sunday evening, the regular
service followed by giving the
oapal blessing to the entire con-
5regation who made the mission.
The papal blessing comes from
Pope Plus X but by a decree of
His Holiness bestows on the mis-
sioners the authority to give this
blessing wherever they conduct
missions.
In every respect the efforts of
the missioners, as we'll as the local
rector, Father Hanna, were crown
ed with success and the n, ,ission
will go on record as the most SIC
cessful ever held in Libby.
For one week, mass, followed by
a short instruction each morning
at 8 and 8 a. tn, and at 1880 every
evening services consisting of the
rosary, sermon and benediction of
the blessed sacrament was held.
Good crowds attended all the ser-
vices.
Father Harold, the principal
speaker throughout the week, is an
eloquent speaker and theologian
of much distinction. His sermons
based upon christian faith and
morality were marked with elo-
quence and simplicity and he easily
won the admiration and attention
of the entire congregation.
The new bell was installed in
time to be used for these meetings
and is a source of satisfaction to the
members of the church.

States Attorney General Wicker
,ham has refused to allow warrants
to be served OH John D. Archbold
md other officers of the Standard
Dill Company, in the case in which
he Magnolia Oil Company of Tex.
as, was Undecided by federal grand
jury in Texas for criminal violation
Of the Sherman law. 49,
Once again, Mr.. Wickersham is
using the machinery of the great
office of the Department of Justice
to protect, instead of prosecute,
the millionaire heads of illegal
trusts.
A hundred instances could be
cited where Wickersham has, by
means of especially prepared opin-
ions, orders and rules, given com
fort to the great industrial trusts,
private monopolies and special
privilege. 1t was Wickersham, the
attorney general, who stopped i'm
portant suits against the beef trust
Immediately upon taking Office. 1t
was Wickersham, the attorney gen.
eral, who rendered an opinion up
holding Ballinger and viciously at
tacking Louis R. CLAWS, who said
it was legal for sugar trust interests
% acquire by the exploitation pro-
cess $50 acres of rich sugar lands
of the Philippines when the or
ganic law of the islands expressly
declares that no corporation Shall
be allowed to acquire more than
2 500 acres. 1t was Wickersham,
the attorney general, who sane
toned the Taft administration
railroad regulation bill, later ex.
posed and altered, containing a
joker legalizing the Southern Pa
cihc, Union Pacific merger, recent
ly held unlawful by the Supreme
Court. It was Wickersham, the
| attorney general, whose suit
against the steel trust is one in
equity instead of criminal pro-
secution.
At the time of the appointment
of Wickersham, it was said his
selection by Mr.. Taft was in re-
cognition of the desires of the
great industrial trusts of the coun-
try, who had contributed large
sums to Mr.. Taft's campaign fund
and who as a return favor desired
that safe man be placed in
charge of the government prosecu-
ting machinery.
Before his appointment as at
torney general, Mr.. Wickersham
was trust lawyer. For years and
years he had been receiving huge
fees from corporations for interpre.
ting the laws, not from the view
point of the welfare of the people,
but from the viewpoint of the vel
fare of the trusts. Mr.. Wicker
sham was a member of the law
firm of Strong & Cadwalader.
Congressman Henry T. Rainey de-
scribed this firm on the floor of the
House of Representatives as follow:
"The firm of Strong & Cadwal.
adler is one of these important New
York legal firms to which great
corporations appeal for aid when
they propose to violate the laws OF
the land or when they have vlolat-
ed the laws of the land"
The firm Of Strong & Cadwal-
ader, at the time of Mr.. Wicker,
sham's appointment as attorney
general, represented, among other
great corporations, the sugar trust,
and one of the last things Mr..
Wickersham did as a member Of
the firm of Strong & Cadwalader,
was to draw down his portion of a

THE TABOO ON MODERATE
DRINKING

The use of alcohol is receiving
some hard knocks these days.
A prominent railway system, not
content with the general rule
heretofore in force on railways
forbidding employees to drink
while on duty, now forbids en-
ployees to indulge at all in drink
ing out of employment hours, or
In any other conduct which will
impair their health or make them
alert and less capable while on
duty. The owner of one of the
nations S pets prominent base
ball team announces that moder-
alton in drinking is not less suffi-
clent; the players on his team
must leave alcohol entirely alone
and abandon cigarettes. The
justification for such rules may
be found not only in the difficulty
of being moderate in indulgence,
but also in the cumulative and
dissipation. The world is NOV
ing. the old fetch of personal
liberty" at whatever cost of
danger to the public at large
seems to be losing its power.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association thinks that
the time may come when every
man whom the life and safety of
others are entrusted may be ex-
pected or even required to be as
abstemious as ball-players and
railway employees.
