CONDEMNS SOCIALISM.

Pres. Edw. Feeny, of Brooklyn, ant
Secretary Anthony Matre, of St. Lou,
is, in reports to the eleventh conven-
ton of the American Federation Of
Catholic Societies In Louisville, KY.
recently, laid much ssress on tnei1
antisocialistic utterances.
"The alarm that we have beer
sounding for years." said Mr.. Feeney
"has at last attracted the attention OF
Catholics throughout the land. Pub
locations combating socialism are ap-
pearing in different sections. The fed
Grafton should lead is this great
work.
at is not sufficient" he said, "to
warn Catholics against this doctrine
as menace, but to educate them
against the sophistical arguments of
Socialism, which, he declared, if sue
cessful, will be "the worse despotism
the world has ever known"
He said the federation proposed to
overcome socialistic tendencies by
teaching what the rule of justice
means and what is the Christian social
ideal"
Catholics are deeply interested in
the preservation of the great Ameri-
can republic that gave welcome and
shelter to our fathers. We oppose all
attempts ii substitute choas for order
in this land of ours"
Mr.. Feen yand Mr.. Matre condemn
ned the American Federation of La
boz, while Mr.. Feeney listed the In
dustral Workers of the World as the
Socialists party in America today"
Mr. Matre said the federation had
become established in every state;
noted the part played by the organiza-
ton in President Taft's suspension
of Commissioner Valentines order
prohibiting display Of religious insig-
MIA in government schools; discussed
the status Of the governments case
against Tom Watson, accused of send
ing obscene matter through the mails;
said the Catholic world federation
was taking shape, and generally sum-
med up federation advances.
Both officials spoke In favorable sup
port Of a tentative movement for the
organization of q Catholic fedora

A frenzied Swiss soldier ran amuck
a few nights ago and transformed the
little town of Romanshorn, on Lake
Constance, into a miniature battle
field, strewn with dead and dying. The
soldier is a native of the town and IS
named Schwartz, In fit of madness
he suddenly seized his rifle and shot
every one within range Of the windows
of his house, killing four and wound
ing six men in few moments. He
then barricaded himself in his resi-
dence. When night fell the house was
surrounded by armed police and citi-
zens, among whom an hour or so later
panic broke out when they heard a
shot. The besiegers under the impress
sion that Schwartz had come among
them, started firing and shot down one
another until dozen of them lay bad
~ wounded on the ground The MUIR
derer, after having been wounded, was
captured.

USED MANY METHODS
History of Transportation Facilities
Between Alexandria and Wash
ington.

The history Of communication be-
tween Alexandria and Washington
at this time, when modern facilities
are enjoyed, should be interesting to
the present generation. There was
time when all the transportation,
was by slow ferry boats. Shortly
before the breaking out Of the CIVIL
war railway was constructed from
the corner of Princess and st. Asaph
streets to the south end OF Long
Bridge. At the latter point passen-
gers were transferred to omnibuses
and carried across the Long Bridge
1t took about two hours to reach
certain points in Washington under
these conditions.
The government during the war;
placed a track on the bridge since
which time communication between
the two cities has been principally
by rail.
In the latter part Of the sixties
there were no night trains, and Alex
andrians who desired to visit WASH
ington theaters were compelled TO
hire Great Eastern" omnibuses for
the purpose. A train, later on lett
King and St.Asaph streets at I o.
clock, returning at nearly midnight
At one time after the close OF the
civil war mechanics who worked IN
Washington were compelled to rise
at 9 o'clock in the morning in order
TO get breakfast and catch through
train which passed through Fayette
street between four and five.
Later on persons living on North
st Asaph street, started crusade
against the company then operating
trains between the two cities and
the court compelled it to abandon
the track and trains ran from Cam
ercn and Fayette streets from the
latter part of the seventies up 10
1896.
In the early eighties, while incon-
venicnce was being experienced by
travellers VITO had 10 go to Fayette
street in CT 'cr &c rect trains ana
where they we're at times landed IN
driving sa"w terms or torrentiai
rains, tic Washington and ONO
Railroad Company conceived the idea
OF extending their tracks on Lee
street to- the northwest corner OF
KIM and Lee streets, where they pro
posd 10 place their passenger depot
in order to operate trains between
Alexandria and Washington. Ihey
had an old franchise which gave
them the right to place their rails
as far down as Queen street, and the
company started on a Saturday night
to extend the tracks to King street.
People owning property on North /
Lee street obtained an injunction
while the stars were in the sky on
Sunday morning and brought the en-
terl.rise TO close.
In 1892 a company organized ID
Philadelphia came to this city ana,
with their own money, instructed
road between this city and Mount
Vernon. There had been several move
me;,ts towards building such road
yea:s before, but they had ended dis
astrously. In 1896 the road was
opcned TO Washington, and the oper-
aticn of trains between the two cities
at short intervals and from conVen-
lent points met the long-felt want.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Of vastly more significance than any
other feature of the Vermont election
results is the fact that the Progressive
party recruited all its strength from
the Republicans. The Democratic can
didate lost nothing to the Roosevelt
organization.
If the Vermont vote proves bar
ometer, this means that the election
of Governor Wilson in November will
be overwhelming. 1t means that Roose-
Welt will do no more than split the Re-
publican party and will leave the Dem
ocratic candidate to walk away with
pluralities in those States where he
does not get majorities.
1t was not much Of surprise that
the Republican vote was cut down be-
low the majority point. 1t was not
much of surprise that Colonel Roose-
vel'ts candidate ran good third IN
the race, but it was very much OF a
surprise to find that the Democratic
party not only held it's own In Yer
mont but actually polled the largest
state vote in its history. This was
more than a surprise.
The very theory upon which the
third party was organized was that 1t
would draw alike from the two old
parties. In all his speeches and de-
crees and ukases and general calls to
the faithful Colonel Roosevelt promis-
ed that he would break alike the ranks
of the Democrats as well as the Re
publican party. He even said that he
would shatter the solid South and
would carry from one to three states
below the Ohio river.
Such assurances were sent broadcast
by the Bull Moose leader before ano
since the organization of his personal
party at Chicago. He declined to per-
nit "straddling' in the states where
straddling would have helpee
the cause, on the ground that to DO sc
would discourage the Democratic thou'
sands who wanted to poin the new or
ganization.
The Bull Moose leaders have before
them practical demonstration OF the
sophistry of their argument. The yer!
first State to cast vote gives tne
Democratic candidate a greater tota
than in 1908. The Bull Moose strength
therefore, came from the camp of the
Republicans. There is nothing tt
show that a single Democrat strayec
off after false gods. There is a gooe
deal to show that the Democratic
candidate divided with the Bull Moose
the Progressive Republican vote.
1t has been incomprehensible that {
Progressive Democrat, who sincerel!
believes that progressive policie:
should become the gospel of the ad
ministration, should turn from Wilson
the most progressive national leader
of his day, to Colonel Roosevelt, al
eievcnth-hour reformer. 1t has bee,
contended by the Wilson leaders tina
the New eJrsey Governor would los
nnne of the progressive members o
own party, but on the contrar

watched her. He saw her pass the

the yellow radiance she flashed and
disappeared. A minute more and the
bulky form of Eben Hammond, lantern
In hand, sou'wester on his head and
his shoulders working themselves into
an oilskin coat, burst out of the door
and hurriedly limped down toward the
shore. On the threshold, framed in
light, stood his ward, gazing after
him. And the minister gazed at her.
From the bay came the sound of
oars in rowlocks. A boat was ap-
preaching the wharf. And suddenly
from the boat came hail.

For minutes she sat there, leaning
back in her chair and staring at the
wall. Then she rose, went into the
hall. picked up the coat, and took It
out into the kitchen, where she hung
1T on the cIotheshorse by the cook

the table and took up the pen. Her

There was an answering shout from
the wharf: a shout Of joy. Then q
rattle OF oars and clamor of talk.
And Grace still stood In the doorway,
waiting.
The lantern bobbed up the slope.
AS it reached the tavern gateway, the
minister saw that 1t was now carried

a seaman's stride and roll Captain
Eben was close beside him, talking ex-
citedly.

the door closed.
John Ellery picked his way home

He found Keziah In the sitting room,
