THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

The Catholic Bulletin is not in
politics, nor has it any intention
Of entering the political arena.
This does not, however, prevent
its championing the cause of
truth, even when truth has a
political bearing.
Last weeks issue of the North
western Chronicle contained the
following paragraph: ''Gov.
Burke, of North. Dakota, had over
three hundred votes on the first
ballot for the Democratic vice
presidential nomination. Murphy,
Mack, and Sullivan, three Demo-
cratic bosses, of Gov. Burke's own
race and religion, stood in the
way and carried out a pact with
Tom Taggart, Of Indiana, where
Eby Gov. Marshall, of that State,
got the plum. We are
assured that Gov. Wilson wanted
Burke as his running mate
We do not know the source of
the writer's information regard
ing the attitude Of Governor Will
son towards Governor Burke, but
since the assertion is made that
"Gov. Wilson wanted Burke as
his running mate" we feel it in
cumbent upon us, in the interest
of truth and justice, to deny it..
There is not a particle of truth in
the statement.
The facts of the case, for the
truth Of which we are in a posi-
ton to vouch, are as follows
Some time before the Democratic
Convention met at Baltimore a
committee of men from New York,
many Of whom were Catholics,
presented to Governor Wilson the
names Of three men from whom
he was asked to choose his run
ming mate. The list comprised
Governor Burke Of North Dakota,
Judge Bowling Of New York, and
Judge Wade Of Iowa. What was
the result? Governor Wilson in
formed the committee that his
choice for the vice-presidential
nomination on the Democratic
ticket was Governor Marshall of
Indiana. 1t is a matter of com
mon knowledge that the conven-
ton ratified his choice.
In recording the facts OF the
case as they are here set forth,
we do not intend to imply that
Governor Wilson objected to any
of these men because they were
Catholics. We simply state what
really took place that there may
be no further misunderstanding
in regard to the matter.

Some weeks ago the Morning
Star" of New Orleans scathingly
rebuked the Rev. Louis Voss for
asserting in an address that it's
editor had advised 'the burning
of Protestant Bibles The editor
of the Morning Star who, of
course, gave no such advice, did
not hesitate to. brand this state
ment as ca wilful, malicious, out
rageous, unqualified lie,'' and
threatened it's author with libel
suit. 1t is probable that the Rev.
Mr.. Voss will now retire to his
former obscurity. He will not
dare to reiterate his assertion lest
he fall into the clutches of the
law.
The Morning Star is a wide
awake and aggressive Catholic
weekly that does not mince words
when dealing with such culminat-
ors as Mr.. Voss. It is always ready
to unsheath it's sword on behalf
of Catholic truth. May the sphere
of its influence grow wider day by
day.

body rests here in peace until it
shall rise again in God"- these
and many other Catholic senti-
ments express the pious hopes of
the living on behalf of those who
sleep in death. Similar expires
sions Of Catholic faith should
adorn the tombstones that mark
the graves of our Catholic dead.
They are a profession of faith on
the part of the living; and their
voiceless pleadings will touch the
heart of many a visitor to these
silent abodes where the dead rest
in hope of a glorious resurrection.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

AA0A0 10 LII ILLS lduQ an institution
commonly known as the liquor traffic.
The nature of it is the legalized and
organized manufacture of alcoholic
poisons, under the disguise of bever-
ages, which are made and sold to the
American people in enormous and
eVer-1ncreasing quantities.
AS result of this sale, says the Vim
d1cator, there is taken from the peo-
pie every year, without the slightest
return of valuable consideration. a
very large part of the product of their
toll, sum so enormous as almost to
stagger comprehension, aggregating
the two latest presidential terms, more
than two billion dollars.
AS the result of this traffic also, dis
ease and physical degeneracy are pro-
duced widely among our people. No
one ventures to attempt to dispute
this, save those whose financial inter
ests are furthered by the continuance
and augmenting of the traffic.
AS further results of the same traffic,
homes are destroyed, lives are blight
ed, crime increases, public expense is
piled up, political and civic life are
corrupted and honest industry and
legitimate business are injured.
So wide is the extent of the evil
done by this traffic, so deeply does it
penetrate every department of our life
as a people, that we are we'll war
ranted in asserting that by far the
greatest part of all the evils which
afflict us may properly be attributed
to this cause.
These facts are very generally recog-
nized today by the American people.
OF the major part of them, there is
little or no intelligent disputation Let
us show the people the relation of
these facts to the present political
campaign and the attitude of the polit-
ical parties toward these facts.
A Political Question.
But, does some one say, this is not
a political question? We answer that,
by the very nature of the case, it is a
political question, and, in as much as
t involves greater problem of finance
than any other question before the
people, in so much as it touches the
interests of the people more intimately
and at more points than any other
question before them, it Is the greatest
political question.
The proposition to seek solution for
the so-called drink problem" outside
of politics is marked as nonsense from
any standpoint from which you may
look at it. Politics is the science of
government, the sphere in which gov
ernmental questions, not only should
be, but must be discussed and settled.
What reason appears for the exclu-
sion OF this greatest governmental
question therefrom?
Experience, too, dating back for
more than half century, demon
strates that the problem can not be
solved elsewhere. There has been de-
voted to the attempt to solve the drink
problem outside Of politics thought
enough, energy enough, treasure
enough, to found an empire, and the
problem, as testified by the constant
growth of the liquor traffic, Ia further
away from solution than ever.

TAKING UP THE CARPET.
Suggestions as to Washing and Sewing
the Floor Covering.

To wash the carpet thoroughly you
will require a bucket OF warm water. a
cake OF carpet soap, a piece OF house
flannel and If you are going TO tackle a
fair sized piece OF carpet at once a
supply Of dry cloths.
Start washing as far from the door
as possible and work toward IT, The
flannel is wetted and a portion of the
carpet well rubbed. 1t must be wetted
only sufficiently to secure a good lather
by rubbing the carpet soap ball well In.
Then with the clean wet fiannel re-
move the SOAP. Rinse the flannel wen
afterward so that IL Is quite soapless
when you begin again another fresh
piece.
No soap must be left in the carpet
when the final rubbing commences.
Take a dry towel and rub your best.
Though you cannot get rid of all damp
ness. you can almost dry the patch
with friction. and this brings up the

LOVE, CHERISH AND "oBEY."
Latter Vow surcrfuous In View Of
First Two. Says Philosopher.


First Two, Says Philosopher.
1t seems so odd that anybody. having
beard a woman vow to love and honor
him. should think it Of any use at all
that she should also VOW to obey him.
observes a writer in London Truth. IL
she keeps the first two vows obedience
is understood, and IL she fails TO lore
and honor him she will most certainly
not obey lin.
The obedient wife is a beautiful spec
taclc in theory. The trouble is that
neither the church nor any one else has
yet sketched out the limits she has to
set to her obedience. A VOW of obedi-
ence as a part Of the marriage service
practically puts marriage on Il level
with military service. but nobody seems
to consider that apart from all exter-
nal aspects of 1t obedience is a quality,
not an action. An obedient person will
obey. and q disobedient person will dis
obey, no matter what vows ere taken.
Some natures are born rebellious. 9th
ers are born with Il fine. sturdy COM
mon sense and a natural power OF
thinking for themselves. Such people
are only capable of obeying when they
are convinced that they should obey.
1t is really not n question of the SUI
preinacy OF man. 1t is a question OF
human character.
In the old days a man chose for his
wife not only her place of residence,
her duties. her friends and her pleas
ures, but even her very ~petticoats. We
may presume that she got rather tired
Of this. but o nearly SO tired as he
did. The average man Of today. even

polishing mirrors and windows. Cut
