IIliterate Immigrants.

At time when the country is no.
toriously short of common manual la
borers willing to dig bitches, ballast
railroads and do the other tasks that
are not less essential because they in
volve hard physical work, nothing
could be less logical than to impose a
literary test on immigrants capable OF
turning their hands to such employ
ments. Yet the great struggle over
the immigration bill now undergoing
debate In congress turns on tho ques-
ton whether men who cannot read
and write shall be barred from the
United States. says the N. z. Sun.
Literacy can be acquired here as
well as elsewhere. It Is by no means
essential to the morality OF man. If
It be lacking he may still be good
citizen. successful father, thrifty
and forehandcd member OF the COM
munity. The number of illterates who,
granted the opportunity, fail to edu-
cate their children is negligible. There
are many men OF more or less conse-
quence in the communities in which
they live whose parents had to make
their mark.
What the United States of America
should do Is to welcome every we'll
built man not OF criminal record who
wants to live here. sec to it that he
gets a reasonably fair chance, and Of
fer him the chance to improve his
mind Of he wants to. There is no dam
ger Of getting too many strong backs
and willing hands in this country, nor
is there any real danger that they will
be unable to care for themselves and
their children, even though they may
not bring certificate of school at
tendance.

Canadian and Australian conference.
These proposals rause not merely
hostility and shame in England as q
surrender by the mother country to
the dictation of colonies with regard
to her own taxation, but the colonial
Journals and statesmen decline to pull
the chestnuts out of tho fire for the
embarrassed English party leaders and
politely decline to mix in the English
internal quarrels.
Irish Often Save Ministry.
In all this struggle the power Of the
position and splendid discipline Of the
Irish party como out more conspicu-
ously. The Liberals now look to the
lrishmen to save them In every ex-
tremity.
Tho seventy Irish members appear
day after day with no absentees ex-
cept the men lying in their sick bed
and their speakers are ready to debate
when time is required to rally the
Liberal forces.
Their seventy members saved again
this week the Welsh bill, as several
of the critical divisions on the bill
would have defeated 1t more than
twice II the seventy Irishmen had not
overcome the Liberal churchman's re-
volt.
This fact was emphasized by the
angry cries of the Tories. when the
division was announced, Of Saved by
the Irish." which has now become
their refrain and is repeated after
every tight division on the Welsh bill
Some of the Tories shouted God save
Ireland" jeeringly. and the lrlshmer
retorted. "They often saved your EN-.
pire."

Pros id ont. . Elect Wilson.

So many expressions of President
Elect Wilson have been construed to
indicate his antagrnism to the Cath
olic Church that It is only fair that

placed on even record. The Christian
Year has this to say concerning Mr.
Wilson: 4

Wilson said In pat:

the bottom. I can give you an Illus.
tration concerning that that has al.
ways interested me profoundly. The
only reason why government did mo-
suffer dry rot in the Middle Age.
under the aristocratic systems which
governed them, was that the men wht
were the efficient instruments o
government-most Of the officials O
government-the men who were eff.
cient-were drawn from the church

bodies as the Roman Catholic Church

oSScue OIL IL4S punt lO one PROPOSE
ton; that in the life of the Church.
miracles always had been and always
would be possible; but that the au-
thenticity of any particular miracle is
a matter of evidence. Devotion to the
Blessed Virgin was an offensive point
in Catholic practice. Certainly when
once had freed myself from preju-
dice, it did not need profound think.
ing to convince me who had the bet.
ter Of this question of devotion to the
Mother of God md to His Saints.
And when 1 came to discriminate
between the sins Of unworthy Catho-
lies and the doctrines of the Church
I saw that upon the charge of cruel
try, at all events, the ground was
slipping from under me. I was left to
answer for myself whether these cru.
elites were due 20 the doctrines of the
Church or to unregenerate human ma
ture. The Church of hrist grew to
learn has never been other than all
merciful.
Never more strongly than today,
have the claims of the Church urged
themselves on thoughtful men. We
are witnessing everywhere the failure
Of non-Catholic principles; of educa-
tion without Christian religion, or
organized society, indeed, without
Christian religion.
The truth bluntly is, that for the
average man in this world, but two
paths lie open. One is indicated by
Christianity; the other urged by sem
suality. The exceptional man, who
treads neither. is too rare to be reck-
oned with in any inclusive considera-
ton Of human affairs. On its human
side, Christianity mean distinctive
ly. Catholic Christianity-is the sole
effective philosophy Of restraint; it
is the noblesse oblige of a fallen hu-
manity. For whether we believe, or
do not believe, all rejecting men are
agreed that human nature tends con-
tinually to sink to levels incomparably
below the level of the beasts.
Christianity, whether considered as
a spectacle OF philosophy, is the
most fascinating studies in this life
1t alone affords elemental struggles
deeply moving contrasts, and inevit-
able, as well as never-endinS strife
For once, the sense of sin is lost sin
itself loses all poignancy and interest;
everything falls to the negligible
depth of sensual caprice.
In the same way the one great ref

Of thought is the Catholic Church. II
Is in its terms Of Truth alone, that
any adequate understanding may be
had of Christian civilization-of what
Europe has been in the fullness OF
that civilization, and of what we all
are today in its eclipse. The more
adequate ones knowledge Of the
Christian religion, and 1 must repeat

as one-the greater is his corrective
of the m?opia of the present day
thought. In saying: "The only clea,
thought today in Europe, is Catholic
thought" Mr.. Hillaire Belloc is exactly
right.

About twenty-six loads were received.
fifty-one of which came under eastern
billing.
With offerings anything but excessive,

ditions in The dressed mutton trade. are
not very encouraging at present. an in
fluence that Is further strengthened by
seasonable competition Of fish on the
Atlantic seaboard and the appearance Of
vegetables in the big consuming belt.
Fat lambs made up the bulk of larger
shipments and prt IDEALLY everything car
rying fleece. only two strings of shorn
lambs showing up. Good to choice wooded
lambs were wanted at $7.90ds.D and less
and attractive shorn lambs moved at $40
ais. Wooled stuff, coming out Of muddy
feedlots, had to clear at small discounts
from similar quality stock In more tidy
condition. There were no springers Of
on sale.
Sheep market was little more than q
nominal affair, good ewes selling up to
s.. 5000. Wethers and yearlings were
very scarce and the feeder trade was
barren. Two days buy on

movement was followed by partial
rally and in turn by another wave OF
selling, under which prices went lower
than at the opening. Dealings were in
tremendous volume during the first hour
and almost entirely at the expense OF
values. The market continued dull ana
relatively narrow during the afternoon,
at which time there were upward move

In the final hour series Of bear drives

London's settlement in which the rate
for Americans ran from 4 10 5 per cent,

Money on call and for various long
