But il may be asked, should not
the Catholic church, even in its own
laws, even in its appeal to the con-
science of its members, even in its
marriage rulings, adapt itself to the
laws of Caesar-holding itself sub
ject in its intimate life to the will of
Caesar, changing as Caesar changes,
condemnihg or approving as Caesar
condemns or approves. Methodism
may do this, IL II so wishes. The
Catholic church can not; else it
repudiates its claim to be the Church
of Christ. without quoting other i'm
stances in the teaching of Christ I
refer to his ruling with regard TO the
indissolubility of the marriage con-
tract. Caesar had decreed that MAJ
riage was dissoluble for little or no
cause. Christ having his own king
dom in mind, made the proclama-
tion: What therefore God hath
joined together, let no man put
asunder. Whosoever shall
put away his wife for another COM
mitteth adultery against her. And If
the wife put away her husband and
be married to another, she COM
mitteth adultery Christ in matters
Of his own kingdom rules ire
spectively of Caesar. The Catholic
church does today as Christ did
1900 years ago.
"Again the conferences: When in
the name of God it (the Catholic
church) grants dispensations for the
marriage of Catholic with a Prot
estant on condition that the Off
spring be trained in the Roman
Cathon faith, 1t assumes to legalize
In return for a stipulated advantage
TO itself what IL has on sacred
grounds forbidden, and creates
grave doubt as to the sincerity OF its
concern for the sacredness of the
marriage relation So far as those
words imply that the Catholic
church, in granting dispensations
for mixed marriages, has in mind, in
any shape or form, an advantage to
Itself arising from such marriages,
or in any shape or form considers
such marriages to be an advantage
to itself, they are absolutely untrue,
and entitle the speaker to be with
out further ado a candidate for a
Methodist club to be named after
certain other club famed under a
late Presidency in political circles.
The Catholic church undoubtedly ex-
cts as a condition for its tolerance
of mixed marriage the promise
that the offspring shall be brought
up in the Catholic faith. But this
promise is never an inducement to
the granting of the dispensation;
even when this promise is given, the
Catholic church depreciates the
mixed marriage and to the last mo-
ment does what is possible to pre-
vent it from taking place. The sole
lnducement to the granting of dis
pensation, apart from certain we'll
marked considerations of persons or
families, is the fear, in case of re-
fusal, of a greater evil. For In
stance, the attempted ratification of
the marriage outside the ministry OF
49, urch and Tire peril Of stioses
total perversion OF the Cath
Varty. Let the Methodist con-
lueIs he make against the Catholic
church charge after charger it is en-
titled to do so. But for goodness
sake let there be in the charge some
scintilla of truth"

Don't complain If your coal

be your own fault. To fill ones
home with a hot, dry air, as most
people do, is both expensive and
unhealthful. tuberculosis, pneu-

persons living in this kind of at

On the other hand properly
moistened air does not have to be
heated to as great temperature
as dry air in order to be made
'SOmfortable. When you feel cold,
therefore, instead of seeing
whether the furnace needs fuel,
find out if the air does not want
water.
On cold day the windows of
your room should have the per-

If you, find this is not the case,
the air probably needs a drink.
Place a pan of water in the room,
or, if you have steam heat, allow
a little of the heat to escape: You

the temperature of your room
will not have risen.

WHY TRUSTS MULTIPLIED

II doesn't require any testimony
from Democrats to show that the lin.
visible government" which Roosevelt
complains of is a partnership between
big business and the Republican par.
ty. The testimony of Republicans can
be cited TO show that Is true. The
testimony of the same gentlemen
shows that Roosevelt, while president,
was one of the partners In this "inyisi-
BILE government" George II. Sheldon
of New York, treasurer of the Repub.
lican national committee In 1908 told
the senate investigating committee,
that the records of Treasurer Bliss OF
the 1904 Republican national commit.
tee, showed that the trusts contributed
1914 per cent OF Teddys 1904 cam
paign fund In the light of the above
testimony, many can see why the
trusts multiplied so rapidly during the
Roosevelt regime. Senator La Fol
lette. a good Republican, says that dur
ing the presidential administration Ol
the Third Term Party leader the
trusts multiplied eight fold and In
creased their capital stock from 81,
600 900, 900 to $4,000, 900, 900.

REPUBLICAN PAPER FLoPs

The xenia Republican, for Is years
a staunch advocate Of Republicanism
and the most influential paper In
Greene county, has bolted President
Taft and the Republican ticket, and
will support Governor Woodrow Will
son. In an editorial the paper In ef-
feet said that the Republican party In
this campaign Is in sympathy with the
dangerous interests that have in the
past prospered too greatly, often by
corrupt means, under G. o. p. regimes,
The party, II is asserted, has disinte-
grated until 1t contains less than a
third of the voters. The editor says
the people are entitled to change and
they can get II by voting the Demo
cratic ticket. An excerpt from the
editorial reads: 1.-THE political revOlu.
ton which has been impending for
years seems due. The people want a
change. Are they justified? We think
they are. The section that still re-
tains the name Republican contains
less than one third, perhaps not more
than a fourth of the voters at the pres
ent moment. It offers no real opposi
ton to the dangerous class that has
prospered too greatly, and often by
corrupt methods. The editor of the
Republican intends to vote for vii
