BOOKS AND READERS.

The world admits that literature
is one of the fine arts. Because of
its wide range it's practitioners claim
for it the chief place. Through it's
medium of words it can describe the
painters color, the sculptor's form
and the musicians sounds 1t can
depict both inner and outer life,
present the truths of science and
philosophy, deal with the real and
the Imaginary, take US to heaven
and hell, and celebrate the glory of
God and OF creation.
But, while literature is a fine art
and its producer must be an artist,
the gentle reader must be his col
league and temperamentally of the
same high quality Most people who
handy with books do so as a pas
time, to kill tedium, because they
have nothing better to do. To real
readers, however, books are some
thing more than an antidote to bore
dom. AS Prof. Saintsbury pointed
out, they read not to fill in idle mo-
ments, but for high delight.
This is true, but the real readers
are more than hedonists. Pleasure
is their reward, but they do not read
with the main object Of attaining it.
On instinct they eagerly turn the
pages of the book that most attracts
them because an inner voice admon-

ARCHBOLD's CIPHER TELEGRAM

The Standard Oil Company has a
secret code language to use in it's
communications concerning it's deal
ings with politicians. In his cipher
telegram to William Finn, dated
June Z, 1904, John D. Archbold
said: II expect to Jail pop sharply
parsed tanning" which, translated
by Senator Penrose, means, 81 ex-
pect to have talk with Senator Pen
rose. Archbofd's cryptogrammic
language is interesting and signifi-
cant. In his telegram he uses the
word parsed" for Senator. The
word parse in ordinary language
means ito solve into it's elements, as
IN sentence; to analyze and show
the relation of the parts to each
other The Archbold use of the
word is suggestive of the method of
his corporation in discovering the
attitude of public officials and their
relations to things that concern the
corporation, and it implies that he
had parsed" Penrose and intended
to further parse" him and get
more thorough understanding Of his
relations as to mood, case, conjunc-
ton, qualification, opposition, etc.
Why he should use tanning" for
Penrose may not be easily conjec-
tured, but the words pop" and
jail, although dramatically puzz-
ling, appear to have some logical or
psychological connection with the
subject matter involved.-Nashvil1e

1shes them that by reading the best
there is in the world they help their
spiritual development and so make
progress toward the chief end of
man.
1t all turns upon reading the best.
Emerson wrote over the door Of his
library the word ''Whim" There is
no surer guide. In reading, as in
eating, the appetite, provided it is
not abnormal, should be followed,
and one should read, as one should
eat. what one likes, But it is neces-
sary, in order to keep bodily and
mental appetite normal, to keep in
bodily and mental health.
For the mind, as for the body,
cleanliness is necessary, rest, recrea-
ton and nutriment. Both must be
exercised. And the will must be
kept awake. The will to be well, to
pOise, to be efficient, with reserve
stores of nervous force, counts for a
great deal. Charles Dickens, who,
though a frail man, accomplished a
prodigious amount of work, and,
starting from obscurity and poverty,
with few educational advantages,
won fame and fortune, used to
preach to himself and to others:
Wake your will up early in the
morning"
In order to read the best books
and to learn to enjoy them it is
necessary to keep the will active,
and reading the best books strength
ems the will, which makes for sue
cess in life and rounds out the per-
sonality.
Just as a man may have many
acquaintances and but few friends,
so there are some books that seem
to have been especially written for
us just as our real friends seem to
have been created for US. These
are the friends and books "to tie to-"

tial campaign the ambassador wrote
to an Englishman who had become
an American citizen, advising him
to vote against the Republican par
ty because he considered that low
tariff was beneficial to English trade
Upon the letters being made public
a%wawe of Indignation swept over the
United States and President CIeve-
land was compelled to request Lord
Sackville to leave the country, which
he promptly did.
Now the question arises: Will
President Taft take similar action
with the Apostolic Delegate from
Rome? Will he kick him out of
Washington as Cleveland kicked
Lord Sackville? Or will he fear the
Catholic vote so much that he will
fail to do his duty in the premises?
Is President Taft so tied up with
the Morgan element that he will not
act in case where the proprieties
are outraged to far greater degree
than in the SackVille- West case?
These are questions that must be
answered before the campaign grows
much older.
II the ambassador of a foreign
power, can come to our shores and
proceed to dictate to millions of his
coreligionists the political party that
they must vote against, then the old
American idea of the separation of
church and State falls to the ground,
and the ecclesiastical politicians will
have drawn the holy circle around
the last vestage of our liberties.

ing attention to this Papal outrage
and demanding that prompt steps be
taken to remedy the atrocious wrong
that has been done the party of the

them to the national office. Cong.

nominees, and the Rebel Office.

and he will bring the matter up on
the floor Of the house The Rebel
has sent the following letter to our
Congressman:
Walnut Springs, Tex, Aug. 2, 1912.
Congressman Berger,

Dear Comrade: Enclosed you will
find copy of correspondence that has
been transmitted to me by the sec
rotary of the Socialist local at Pal
estine, Anderson Co., rex You will
notice that Archbishop John Bon
zano, the Archbishop of Melitene,
Italy, Apostolic Delegate to the Uni
ted States instructs one of his Cath
Ollie laymen to vote against our par

To my mind this is a fragrant
abuse OF the privileges of an ambas-
sador to our country. 1t is only

Texas Rebel" is a we'll
known Catholic citizen Of
Palestine, Texas. He had
frequently heard the charge that the
Catholic high dignitaries contended
that true Catholic must not only
trust to them for spiritual guidance,
but that he was subject to their
orders on matters political. He did
not believe that any church would
go that far in interfering with the
political freedom of any American
citizen. However, to make sure he
decided to go to the fountain head
So he wrote direct to the Popes am
bassador at Washington. He did
this because he hesitated writing to
the cardinals in America, knowing
full we'll that they have large econo-
mic interests at stake. Hence he
reasoned that he would go to the
Pope's direct representative. His
letter follows:
Palestine, Texas, June 10, 1912.
Papal Legation, Washington, D. C..
Archbishop Bonzano.
Your Grace:-In reply to letter
above quoted, regret to say that I
have made two sincere attempts to
do SO, but was ignored. / will not
make any further effort, until /
know once and for all.
Must I as Catholic, surrender
my political freedom, to the church?
- I am ready to surrender my life,
If necessary, for the faith that is in
me; but not my political freedom,
and by this I mean the right to vote
for the Democratic, Socialist, or Re-
publican parties when and where I
please. The religious future of my
SELF wife and family, depends great
ly upon your answer, which after all,
are the most important things of all.
Therefore l hope you-as special
representative of the POpe-Will
answer, and not ignore me as others
have done.
Yours in Christ,

No. II. 630-d Washington,

T. J. Carey, Palestine, Texas.
Dear Sir: In your letter to me
dated June 10, you say that the reli-
gious future of yourself, your wife,
and children, are the most serious
and important things of all. Now
you must remember that if the Cath
O1ic church condemns doctrines that
are pernicio6s to the good of the
faithful, she does it only in order to
defend and protect the religion Of
her children. Hence you should sub
matt to the decisions of the church
even at the cost of sacrificing politi
cal principles. For your guidance
/ may mention to you the fact that
socialism, besides being a political
party, is also an anti-Christian sect.
In order to convince yourself Of this
you only have to read what Social
ism teaches regarding religion.
With best wishes, 1 am,
Yours sincerely in x,

Benjamin Franklin Starke,
eldest son of Birwell and Aman-
da Starke, was born June 25,
1929, at Richmond, Va. He was
mainly reared in that city.
When he was scarcely grown
his father with his family moved
to Lafayette County, Missouri,
near Dover. He remained with
his father on the farm until the
