Charity and Saloons.

The Michigan Catholic, the news
paper representative OF the Catholics
OF Michigan, approvingly gives place
In its first editonu column to the
following suggestion from the Michi-
gan Christian Advocate, and approves
OF the Advocates conclusion. "A
very poor family living In undescrib-
able squalo. was found in this city
recently. The publication OF their
awful plight in the daily press brought
quick response in charity. The first
five dollars was to buy groceries, but
the man took IL and spent II at q
saloon and got drunk. Should that
permit us to withhold charity? No.
but 1t should permit us to withhold
the saloon and the beer and whisky"
Since the saloons went out OF Cold
water, although times generally are
considered dull the country over,
there Is much less call for charity
here than ever before. Many families
that had received regular gratuities
at the hands Of the Kings Daughters
and from other sources OF benevo-
lence, declined such gratuities last
year and this; and yet there are
those who would return TO the old

Latin AS a Universal Tongue

We shall have to keep up Latin,
one presumes, as a sort Of universal
language OF religion and medicine.
The Roman Catholic church has kept
alive Latin as the language which all
people upon earth should understand
more or less, and whenever a Cath
olice goes to service, he can find the
language with which he is familiar.
The chemist has the universal Ian
guage, too. Your prescription is writ
ten in Latin, for the pharmaceutical
chemist as we'll as the priest has to
learn that universal language. And |
should say that the amount OF Latin
requisite for priest or chemist could
be acquired by an intelligent boy in

Harvey and Wilson

In the issue OF Harper's Weekly IN
which appeared the announcement
concerning the cessation OF that jour
naPs support of Woodrow Wilson as
presidential candidate, there were two
editorial articles that may be consid-
cred in connection with the Harvey
Wilson rupture.
Immediately following the announce
ment, explanatory OF the withdrawal
of Gov. Wilson's name as the papers

Senator Bourne" II was a satirical
and entirely hostile criticism of an
article by United States Senator iona
| than Bourne. Jr., of Oregon, in the
Atlantic Monthly on The Initiative,
the Referendum and the Recall IL
is well known that Gov. Wilson has
expressed himself as convert TO
the initiative and the referendum and
that he declared his conversion was
based on the practice OF those policies
in Oregon.
Another editorial article In this
same issue of Harper's Weekly was
a very silly attempt TO rtdicule Mr..

that Woodrow Wilson was present on
the occasion referred to and that he
and Mr.. Bryan INDUCED some mutual
compliments.
Suppose this issue OF the Weekly
had contained the legend For Presi-
dent. Woodrow Wilson" at the head OF
its editorial columns as has been It's
custom for some time past. how would
1t have appeared In contrast with the
tenor of the editorial comment that
followed?
Under such conditions Gov. Wilson
would have been justified In demand
ing that his name be withdrawn. IL
certainly would have looked like
travesty TO keep II there. But no such
demand was made. When Mr.. Harvey
put him the direct question IL he be

juring his candidacy, what manner of
answer could he have returned but
yes?
1t would have been a most incon-
gruous thing for Harper's Weekly TO
Gov. Wilson under the conditions that
have arisen, and the dramatic manner
in which Mr.. Harvey seems to have
chosen TO bring about the breach is
not creditable TO either his judgment
or his sense Of right.
