CLARK OR WILSON?

Readers OF newspapers and OF pc
riodicals may recall caricaturc II
which were depicted Harmon, Clart
and Underwood, representatives o
the interests, as alleged, i'll comb
nation against Wilson. AS present
ed The United States was sliced into
three sections or parts and each can
didate was assigned his part or sec
ton in this political game.
From this caricature there ha,
been impressed on the public mine
the conclusion that it is now, as
then, anything and anybody to bea
Wilson"
In the course of the campaign anC
canvass for delegates, Wilson. is the
only candidate who has aggresSiVely
asserted himself as being seriously
an active contestant for the preSl-
Dental nomination.
While Wilson has impressed his
personality in national sense, I'm
derwood of Alabama and Harmon OF
Ohio have been content to secure
endorsement locally, but neither
can or could control a sufficient
number Of delegates to receive the
presidential nomination.
1t would seem as indicated in the
caricature referred to that the play
OF these two candidates in the po-
litieal game is to help the defeat of
Wilson, if that be possible.
Practically Harmon and Under
wood are eliminated, but they may
be all-powerful for mischief.
In the game of politics we should
be mindful that Hearst, the dis
gruntled, although possessed Of
great wealth, and who wields an in
fluenee through his several news
papers, is against Wilson and is
sparing no effort to defeat him.
II Hearst is with Clark it is not
because he admires Clark, but be
cause he dislikes Wilson whom he
can not control to do his mandates.
The contest then has dwindled be-
tween Clark and Wilson.
IL IS not to the credit of the Dem
ocraey to reltefate what has been
frequently sald-that is that the
Democrats, in the recent years, have
drlfted to an asinine policy and ac-
ton at times when success was in
L
their grasp.
The very fact that Hearst is the
champion OF Clark should be sufflz|
elent cause for dlstfust. While liver
led as Democrat and~preaehing
the doctrine OF Democracy, Hearst
Is more OF Republican than a Dem
oerat.
seriously, 1T is questionable if
Clark could be elected If he were to
be nominated.
All this time, when the Republic
cans are being divided IN their in
tense bitterness, there IS offered=the
opportunity for great and over
Whelmlng Democratic triumph, but
TINS possibility, almost an assur
ance, may be frittered away by the

Are the thoughts Of the days when all wore
the gray,
While memory recalls every trail and danger.
And scenes of the past live in battle array.
Though long since. discarding our arms and
equipments,
There's one thing a Veteron most surely will
note,
The first thing he sees on the form of a comrade.
Is the little bronze cross he wears on his coat.
Chorus
The little bronze cross,
The sacred bronze cross.
The u. ID. C. cross,
That he wears on his coat.
How much did it COST" said a man to a soldier,
That little fiat cross you wear on your coat?'
"A fortune in money" he answered the stranger,
"And four years of marching and fighting to
boot,
The wealth of the world cannot purchase this
emblem.
Except that the buyer wore the gray, too
For it shows to mankind the full marks of a hero.
A man who to honor and country was true.
Chorus.
Then let US be proud of this emblem of honor.
And wear it with spirit both loyal and bold,
Fraternally welcome each one who supports it,
With love in our hearts for the comrades Of old,
Each day musters out old battallions of wearers

A v OF SOULS.

Father Prudent, o. M. Cap, of Par
batpura, near Ajmere, Rajpoutana, In
dia, who has opened a ~dispensary in
his district, has of late been most sue
cessful in saving numerous souls of
dying pagan children. Heretofore,
pagans were very reluctant to bring
their little ones to the dispensary. In
their mind a European was a sort of
a witch and a %poisoner. During three
years he scarcely would baptize fifty
children. In 1908, a pious person sent
him several boxes of medals of the
Blessed Virgin. He distributed them
broadcast. Hindus and Mahometans
begged for them. His supply, soon
exhausted, had to be renewed. In the
meanwhile, the effects of the protec-
ton of the Blessed Virgin were felt.
Pagan parents thronged in the dispen-
sary with their dying babes, whom he
would baptize, and a great harvest of
souls was secured by can of the
medals of the Blessed Virgin.

Extension Society have given us the
summary of gifts received and dis

Department of that Society for the
year ending October 18th, 1912.
Five large boxes of clothing were
sent out. In each of the two hundred
and thirty boxes of Church Goods that
went out, there were included quanti-
ties of literature. Several boxes of
beautiful artificial flowers were sent
to the missionaries through this de-
partment. Even blankets, comforters,
feather pillows, table linen, pontifical
slippers, rockets, etc., found their way
through this avenue that is able to
reach the many who are soliciting help
from it. Many of the missionaries are
not above using the cast-of garments
which were sent them last year. This

HOLY S HOSPITAL.

We, Dominican Sisters, exi1es from
Portugal, who some time ago asked
for help to build this hospital in On
tario, Oregon, are again in need of
assistance.
Holy Rosary Hospital is now open
but as yet the income is not sufficient
to meet the expenses daily incurred.
We also have a heavy debt upon which
to pay interest.
To add to our solicitude, two of our
little band have become invalids and
must needs be supported. Other Por-
tuguese Sisters who have waited in
vain in that unhappy land for the
liberty to live according to religious
rule, wish to join us, but have not
the money necessary for their travel,
ing expenses.
Once more therefore we earnestly
entreat the generous hearted people
to come to our aid, by sending dona.
tons to Mother Superior of Holy Ro.
sary Hospital, Ontario, Oregon.

THE MISSION OF KABYLlE.

These are the terms in which the
Rev. rt. Marechal, VIII. F., speaks OF
the movement made in Kabylie, Africa,
toward our religion:
"The year has been good for the
mission. Considering statistics mere
Iy, perhaps the results are not mater
tally different from last year, but the
missionaries recognize a very much
warmer spirit among the natives and
are filed with joy when they contem-
plate the future.
For a long time the priests were
obliged to abstain from all religious
conversation and avoid the expression
of their thoughts and spiritual con-
victions. That period seems to be
past. We speak of God to all souls of
good will. Many are touched, none
seem Indifferent to the seriousness of
our convictions. Almost everyone
frankly acknowledges that the mara
bouts never painted the love of God
in such attractive colors, and a sort of
disaffection for the false doctors fol-
lows.
Thus we move step by step toward
the goal which leans true and sincere
conversion"

JAMAICA.

In Jamaica, the Catholics number
about 10000 out of a total population
of $40, 1000. There are on the island
about 1900 Hindus, whose only bind
ing oath is to swear by the Sacred
River of the Gauges. Accordingly
when in court, they are given a glass
of water and the following words ad-
dressed to them: "Do you swear by
this water which represents the River
Gauges to speak the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the TRUTH"
The Hindu is invariably impressed
by the stability of this agreement.

A JESUIT MISSIONARY KILLED BY
A TIGER.

From Calcutta, India, comes an &C
count of the tragic death of a Jesuit
priest who was mortally wounded by
a man-eating tiger.
Father Aloysius Stoffels, a Belgian
missionary, in charge of an outlying
post in one of the widest portions OF
Chota Nagpur, India, become the vic
tim of his own courageous spirit. A
man of great strength and bravery ne
started out with a few companions to
try to stay on enormous tiger that
had been injecting the district to1
some time and causing great loss OF
life.
The beast was finally encountered
and FIR. Stoffels raised his arm to fire
At the same moment the tiger sprang,
and although a shot was heard, it did
no injury to the Infatuated animal who
Immediately bore the priest to the
ground.
One of the men, armed with a hat
Chef attempted to save the Father
He succeeded in wounding the tiger
who finally r~etreated. The priest was
then brought to his home, but his in
iuries were so severe that he died the
next day after great agony.
FIR. Stoffels was born in Antwerp,
Oct. -, 1865, and entered the Society
of Jesus September 81, 1884.

THEIR FUNDS NOT EQUAL TO
THEIR ZEAL.

FIR. Raymakers, the Superior of the
Belgian Missionaries, laboring in the
Philippines, states:
LAS Superior, I am placed in an en-
~barrassing position, for instead of en-
couraging the zeal of my young apost'
les, I am forced by adverse circum'
stances to restrain it.
Seeing the need of the poor natives
and the good disposition they dis
play, my priests are anxious to found
more and more mission posts. Will
ingly would l allow these ardent seek
ers after souls to carry out their
worthy ideas if our capital warranted
the expense. Even such humble be
ginnings as we have here, are, how
ever, too much for my purse. Thus
does the good cause suffer.

dead the few hundred dollars needed
to build a church. There was nothing
of that kind then, yet cent by cent and

deathbed.

voice said, 'for now you will send

At the funeral were heard the sobs
and tears not only of the faithful, but
of many of the strayed sheep who had
been brought back out of the wilder
ness, and all of whom were loud in pro-
claiming the saintliness of the dead
pastor. And the Bishop spoke a few
words in a voice choked by emotion.

labors of a holy servant of God this
church has been built. But into it's
