LIQUOR AND THE NEGRO.

Speaking before the subcommittee
of the United States senate's commit
tee in charge of affairs i'm the Dis
trict of Columbia, the other day, DIR.
Greed w. Childs, a colored physician
of Washington, urged that something
be done to restrict the saloons among
the colored population of the District.
DIR. Childs gave the subcommittee
a graphic picture of the harm which
he says liquor is doing among the
colored people of the District, and he
implored the senators to act.
DIR. Childs said there were good
points i'm both the Works bill, which
seeks to limit the saloons to 100, and
the Jones bill He wanted the good
points of each taken and framed into
legislation.
LET me warn you," he said, chat
If you don't place liquor where the
colored man finds 1t harder to get he
will destroy himself and destroy you
He declared the race would be bet
ter servants, would work better and
would be far more prosperous il it
were not for liquor. He described
some OF the homes in the District
which he had visited and where pow
erty reigned because the head Of the
family drank UP all his wages

PROTESTANT MISSION WORK

A food Of light is thrown on
the character Of Protestant mis-
sionary work in China by a quo
tation in america from GA
Brief Categorical Summary Of the
Foreign Mission Investigation
Report that appeared in the
Literary Digest recently. In ans
wer to the question: "What are
the teachings, and what are the
inducements to accept Christian
ity, and how enduring are the
results?" the Summary says:
"There are evidences of positive
teaching in the past, but there is
very little religious teaching now
being done, because the people
would resent it, and keep their
children from the school. We
heard Of instances where a small
coin per day was given to each
child attending school, but aside
from the schooling, the induce
ments offered by the missionaries
are chiefly social and medical. Of
late the natives are more and more
averse to a public avowal of
Christianity, because with increas-
ing intelligence come doubts. The
tendency Of the times in the
Orient, as in the Occident, is
towards unbelief in any religion. :"
This is assuredly severe in
dictment of Protestant missionary
work in the far East. 1t shows
that the missions there established
are not homes Of religious instruc-
ton in the tenets Of Protestant
Christianity but mere schools for
secular education. present mis-
sionary endeavors, says the Sum-
mary, care almost exclusively
along the lines of secular educa-
ton. " The missions are main
tanned as social centers and medi-
cal dispensaries where the physi-
cal and intellectual wants of the
natives are attended to rather
than their spiritual and moral well
fare. This is a sad confession Of
failure on the part of the sects.

capped though she is by scarcity
of missionaries and dearth of
finds eap poinf +o roc,11+c tbo4
far surpass the fondest dreams of
Protestant missionary endeavor.
She has done her work slowly,
it is true, but she has built upon
an enduring foundation of doc
trine and morality and year by
year her influence grows greater
among the natives of the far East
who are not slow to realize that
her first care is for the welfare
of their immortal souls.

ENGLISH CATHOLIC DAILY
PAPER.

At intervals during the past
year it was announced that an
English Catholic daily paper
would begin publication in Buff
falo, n. Y, early in the month
of May. The announcement fur
Their stated that sufficient funds
would be available to finance the
project and make it a success.
In view Of the all too meagre
support given to Catholic weekly
papers, there has been very little
enthusiasm for the new project
among Catholic journalists and
those who know how difficult it
is to run a successful Catholic
newspaper. Many were inclined
to be skeptical about the success
Of an English Catholic daily, but,
nevertheless, they patiently
awaited the issuance of the first
number of the new daily and were
ready to accord it a hearty greet
ing. So far it has not made it's
appearance in the journalistic
world, and when inquiries were
made regarding the present sta
tus of the project a circular letter
was issued by the Executive Com
mittee of the Western Printing
and Publishing Corporation, Of
which the Right Reverend Mgr.
Biden, pastor Of the Buffalo Ca
thedral is President.
According to this letter it is
not the intention of the publishers
to issue the first number Of the
proposed daily until the sum Of
one hundred thousand dollars has
been paid into the treasury. So
far, forty thousand dollars has
been received, mostly in small sub
scriptions, and twelve thousand
more is assured. An appeal is to
be made to the well-to-do and the
business class to complete the
fund and not until then will the
paper make its appearance.
In regard to the character of
the paper the circular says: sit
is not the purpose to have it reli-
gious in tone or to differ in jour
nalistic essentials from other up
to-date and progressive dailies,
but it is the purpose to have it
an alert guardian for the protec-
ton Of Catholic interests and fear
less in the defense thereof. In
all respects it will aid in the dis
semination of general truth which
is always Catholic in principle.
It will be clean in tone and will
insist, as far as its influence
reaches, upon cleanliness in its
contemporaries the end that
we may have clean, unpurchas-
able, patriotic press in the United
States. "

At the recent Convention Of the
Catholic Educational Association
Walter George Smith, ESQ.,, Of
Philadelphia, read paper on
"Public Legislation as it Effects
Catholic interest,"" in which he
gives the following statistics re-
garding the cost of parochial
school education in this country !:
In an estimate recently pre-
pared the average amount per
capita cost Of parish school edu-
cation in the United States is
given at So. During the year
1909-191O there were 1927, $50
pupils in the schools, making a
total cost Of $9,898,O0O. The edu-
cation of these pupils in the pub
lie schools would have cost ap-
proximately $3O,511, O1O, without
considering interest on necessary
property, which would, have in
creased the sum to $34,OOO,OOO.
When it is remembered that the
Catholic citizen is bearing his
share of the burden Of providing
public school education for all Of
these children besides, for at least
in some localities taxation is
levied in proportion to the number
Of children Of school age, irrespec-
tive Of their attendance at the
public schools, it will be seen that
the astute politician will be slow
to disturb existing conditions.

THE TACTICS OF BIGoTRY.

There can be no doubt In the
minds of thinking men that, of
late, there has been revival of
anti-Catholic bigotry and preju-
dice throughout this country. 1t
is a recrudescence of the A. P. A.
spirit and tactics of generation
ago. The campaign has been
waged assiduously and the
animus of the movement cannot
be mistaken. Those who are be-
hind it are animated by spirit
of intolerance and bigotry un-
worthy of American ideals Of
religious liberty, honesty and fair

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
ENGLISH JUDGES ON DRINK.

Listen to what some of the most
eminent judges in England have
uttered concerning drink and the
drunkard in relation to crime of all
classes and grades:
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, 1877.
II think it is in the course of my
duty to say that, within my experience
as judge, and having lived some
considerable time in the world among
other judges, and judges of much
larger experience than myself, it is
certainly the case that if we could
make the country sober we might shut
up nine-tenths of the jails."
Lord Brampton Justice Hawkins),
1887 have thought very seriously
as to what is for the most part the
origin of crime, and every day live,
and the more I think of the matter,
the more firmly do I come to the con-
clusion that the root of almost all
crime is drink, that. tyrant which
affects all ages and both sexes-the
young, the middle aged, the old, father
and son, husband and wife, all of
them in turn become addicted to it's
tyranny.
Justice Grantham -(Letter to Croy-
don Publicans) Twelve murders,
eighteen attempts at murder, and
woundings without number that were
just as likely to have ended in
murder, as far as the conduct of the
criminal was concerned, have been
mine and my brother judges daily
fare for the last four weeks in one
circuit, and in almost every case, as
appeared in evidence, drink was the
cause"
Sir Gorrell Barnes-(P president of
the Divorce Court, 1860 II am fairly
convinced that if drink were
eradicated, this court might shut it's
doors, at any rate for the greater part
of the time
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone.-
Cat the International Congress on
Alcoholism, 1909 after forty years
at the Bar, and ten years as a Judge,
/ have no hesitation in saying that
ninety per cent of the crime of the
country is caused by strong drink"
Justice Darling.-(Letter to Lord
Loreburn, 1900 "You may say this
from me: that of the crimes of
violence, including especially offences
against women and children, almost
all of them, as far as they come before
me, are directly the result of excess
sive drinking. Beyond this, large
proportion of the crimes in dishonesty
are due to the same cause, but are not
SO Immediately connected with it."
Lord Chancellor Loreburn, 1870
I'm my opinion it is, will not say
useless, but of comparatively little
value, to try anything, unless you give
the power to the people who suffer
from intemperance to save them
selves"

In the course Of his Rectorial
Address to the students Of Aber-
deem University, Scotland, on
June %, Andrew Carnegie said
among other things: Nothing is
more certain in the operations of
this life than the law by which
honesty, ability, good temper and
assiduity carried one to the front
and kept him there. But the es-
sential foundation of all is
character.
"The use Of liquor is the rock
more than any other upon which
young men are hopelessly
wrecked"
His advice to young men was,

Edward Tilden, president oil

has issued an apology for the
high price OF meat which sums
up about as follows: Increase OF
population in this country tn the
last decade, 81 per cent, or, TO-.
O0O, 900 mouths; decrease in Gu t
tie, including mich cows, 2 per
cent. More people to feed, there
fore, with less meat raised growth
in cities. increase in farm land
used for dairying and truck pur'
poses, with less used for cattle
rai.ing; diversion OF grain used
formerly. for feeding cattle to
manufacturing cereals. Mr.. TIL
den asserts that manipulation
Is no longer possible, the demand
for cattle being too great and
competition too keen, and de-
clares high prices are injurious
to packers also, ,nasmnch a.
most OF their profits are made
iron by-products, and the cost
oi raw materials, OF course, in.
crease when meat prices are
high. Thus between 1899 and

ed 1874 per cent.
All this is very interesting and
much Of itmay.be true. The state
ments, however, would carry
greater conviction ifcoming from
au impartial source. The state.
ments clearly show that II the
number of American cattle is be.
coming insufficient to feed eco.
nomically the number of Ameri.
can mouths, and then the tariff
on meat is out Of place and the
importation Of cattle should be
encouraged. But it is grently
tn be doubted il these explana.
tions really explain the extraor.

meats. The advance evidently
covers q very large profit and
