A weekly newspaper given over to
Islander of the Catholic church and
its membership, calls upon its readers
to write Mr. Bryan asking him to use
his influence with he president-elect
to defeat the appointment of a CathO-
lie to the cabinet, and the retention
of Joseph P. Tumulty, a Catholic as
his private secretary, when he goes
from Trenton to the White house.
The True Voice, a Catholic publication
AT Omaha, while declaring that it

If the True Voice has no better
sense than thus to dignity the raw

may be sure Mr.. Bryan has and tha-

In Franklin county in other localities there
seems to be much disturbance among the people
regarding the payment Of taxes. This is the time
of the year that citizens began to murmur about the
burden IF taxation. The trouble in the neighboring
county to the north Of Cache seems to be more ag-
grivated than elsewhere this fall. The blame is
usually laid at the doors of the officials directing
the affairs of the state but 1t is only reasonable
suppose that the taxes in Franklin county would
be high this year as there has been big expense
placed the county, due largely to the fact that
since the new county created there has been
big expense in the transcribing of the records and
placing the county in condition to do intelligent
business. The citizens were very anxious in this
county to be separated from Oneida county and to
bring the county seat to Preston. This accom-
pshed, t is only fair and just for the people to
stand behind the county commissioners who are
doing great amount of work for the money expen-
ded, in giving to the citizens good administration,
both in organization and in the way Of building
good roads.

COTTON BLANKET DISTRIBUTION

The development in cotton blanket manufactur.
ing, by which wool nap and thick felted appear
ance is gwen to fabrics made entirely OF cotton has
led to widespread increase in the use and produc-
ton OF merchandise of this class. During the pas.
week New Bedford concern that was pioneer
in the business announced substantial increase in
its capital for the purpose of increasing IT, Plant
and the eldest and largest cotton blanket mill in
this country announced a completely sold up con-
dition for the winter season and purpose OF
terialy adding to its equipment so that its product
may he greatly enlarged for next year
Similar developments are being noted abroad
particularly in Germany. Tho high prices of pure
wool blankets, the limited supplies of wool for the
worlds reeds, the very general adoption of new
heating plans In all homes, aHd the very attractive
appearance of some of the cotton blankets have
all had some effect in bringing about a broader dis
trbution or this merchandise. One OF the largest
producers of wooden blankets has found It necessary

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
BY Busy Ben

1. Economists say the law of sup
ply and demand makes the price. ov-
er production cheapens. scarcity
makes dear. True l)!ost times but
not always.
Q. For decade the producers in
Uncle Sans garden have enjoyed
good prices for products and labor
and the result is an over production
Of style and credit.
3. Everyone knows there is an over
production Of style but where is the
husband Of a wife or the father OF a
daughter that will say style is cheap.
4. Total up the bonds Of all of
your Uncle's states, counties and
cities, the loans Of all his banks, loan
associations and investment compan-
les, the book accounts Of all of his
merchants and manufacturers and
You will find an over production Of
credit. Ask the poor Gus that's con-
tinually digging up interest, and ev-
erybody's doing It, II credit is cheap.
5. Now style and credit are based
wholly upon the opportunity, capacity
and power to earn--reduce the earn.
ing capacity and you reduce style and
credit-reduce style and credit y and.
you reduce the high cost Of living
6. II our statesmen were only brave
enough to pass law compelling Ia
dies to wear uniform hats, coats,
suits and dresses, and limit the style
seasons to two a year, they would
greatly reduce the high cost OF liy-
ing without reducing the capacity to
earn. TT'
z. A reduction Of thirty per cent
IN the schedule of the high cost OF
style would remove a greater burden
from the "a to S12 per week girls
and the $12 to $25 per week families,
than all the free trade laws that can
be placed upon the statute books.
8. A reduction OF rs per cent In
the schedule of the high cost OF cred
It would remove more farm mortgag-
es In one year. than free sugar and
free wool will remove In one hundred
years.
Q. There are three things over
production does not make cheap
they are, style. credit and govern
meht, and too much government
comes much higher than either.
10. The three great causes OF the
high cost of living are not the tarin
the rich and the middle men, but
they are, too much style, too much
credit and too much government
Would It not be nice II all OF our
statesmen knew these facts.

CURE THE DRINKS

Mayor Andrew l.. Kinney of Green Forest, Ar.
kansas, operates on a very unique plan for curing
the DRINKS OF his community according to a recent
press report. By adopting his plan there is need
for jails in his city. Mayor Kinney has decided to
sentence all DRINKS to church instead Of sending
them to prison and a result the churches
all well attended. probably not because Of desire
to 60 to church. but because the mayor has decided
that those who partake Of spirituous liquors must
repent through the church route instead Of the jail
route. Logan might find some merit in the above
practice and adopt 1t to advantage there is
scarcely night that some one is not thrown into
jail for drunkenness and 1t is not uncommon to
have half dozen in the city and county cage
waiting to sober up and for the purpose of paying
a fine of $40 or SIS dollars.

THE STRANGER WITHIN YOUR GATES


try has utterly changed in recent years, and this
change has laid burden upon such we yet
hardly comprehend. II 1t be the right solution of
their troubles transplant these thousands of peo-
pie of southern and eastern Europe and western
Asia from their old homes to our land then
must take up the task. Not only our religion but
national tradition so demands.
When the increase in population came from
the northern lands, where the people were akin to
those first settling this continent there no prob
lem. The newcomers quickly became part OF
their adopted nation. II all were not to their lk.
ing they willing to follow our rather slow
method of righting abuses, like a fine little German
milliner. who said to me- her eyes shining, "Oh,
country 10 beautiful! II It only had the right
laws It would be the loveest country the earth"
But NO longer is the matter simple. Now every
possible effort is needfu to the country itself
from the stream Of poverty and alien ignorance
that pours weekly through Castle Garden. There
are now workers to meet these bewildered travel
ers at their embarking to teach them during their
voyage, to care for them at their landing. When
they are finally at their destination there are class
to teach them English during their hours
at night and on Sundays and holidays. There are
innumerable activities all directed to raising these
poor people to standards. The energy, the
wisdom, the devotion. put into the work is magnif
cent, and also, the success is marvellous. But 1t
seems to many sober students of the question that
we are not only now attempting task beyond our
power. but that should never have had to
face. We have no fear of the helpers who
from the other lands to our farms. We need more
farmers, end in this land farmer remain long
ignorant degraded, But we have good reason
to fear the compact groups OF different natonates
and races that gather in cities and in manu-
featuring and mining communities. For these
must strain every agency of social betterment and
in seeking to raise them to standards we must
be sure those standards themselves be not lowered
For those who already come there is no ques-
ton to our obligation. For those who fee here
driven by persecution seeking of themselves a
freedom and an opportunity not to be found In their
own land, we may be bound to give welcome, but its
beginning to be realized that good part of this
sweep westward is at least affected by the desires
of employers for cheap labor, and OF the steamship
lines for passengers. Never was this land meant
for this sort Of exploitation and II It be our duty
to care for those within boundaries Il Is no less
our duty to guard gates and not turn our high
ideal into a folly and mockery

A NEW CURE FOR DRINK

In the December American Magazine Henry bet.
mers writes little article entitled "A New Cure
For Drink Mr.. Detmers says that he has been
in the saloon business for twenty years He is not
a drinker himself and none Of his sons drink Out
of his experience he recommends the following cure
for the liquor habit
Il found early in my experience that as a gen.
eral rule-there are exceptions Of course-a regular
consumer of fruit was not very good customer in
my business. On the other hand, typical booze
fighter seldom touches fruit. l always kept some
apples behind the bar for my own use and often
experimentay offered one to star customer, who
almost invariably refused The more looked into
this matter, the more firmly became convinced
that these two habits clash. Not caring to have
my boys acquire the one noculated them with the
other and have found that the fruit habit early
acquired acts a perfect antdote to the liquor
habit.
81 mention apples especially because they are
something like bread, one never tires OF them,
which is more than can be said Of peaches, pears
and oranges. And apples, thanks to cold storage
can be had every day Of the school year.
why shouldn't the apple habit be cultivated in
the public schools at public expense? School trus-
tees could advertise for bids to supply the school
Then by means Of push-the-button contrivsnce

IF you remove the desire for drink the liquor
