DREAM

(By Paul West)
Oh, he was a wonderful man, all right
A leader of crowds, a tower of might!
Tall, bearded, bold as a giant. strong
Who ruled like a king the suppliant
throng,
He made his millions, but when the
call
Came for war, he abandoned all,
And grabbing a sword, away he flew,
And singie-handed the enemy slew.
But he was modest, and kind and
mild.
No lies or explosives his lips detiled,
He never INDUCED in the ~''reeking
weed,n
And as for liquor, we'll, no indeed!
Yes, search forever, with ce~aseless
vim,
You never will find a man like him!
Who was this model? All, well, you see
That was the man | was going to be!
Oh, great we're the deeds, and the ex-
ploits bold!
Finding the horde of pirates gold,
Rescuing maidens fair and slim
From dragons and ogres fierce and
grim
Strengthening grizzlies and buffalo,
Shooting down robbers and exc s'poor
Lo,"
Riding wild horses in circus rings,
Petted and courted by dukes and
kings,
Pitching great ball to the crowds
acclaim,
Knocking the ''homer" that won the
game
These were only a scattered few
or all The things l was going to do.

Washington-The Democratic tariff
revision bill, first on the program of
reforms mapped out when President
Wilson came into office, advanced TO
its last congressional stage when it
WAS brought back to the house from
the joint conference committee with
the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, OF course, has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, it carries out
four OF the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost of
living, campaign against the trusts, in
that duties have been taken off of
many trust made article, and the in
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has a
larger Importance than that of mere
tariff reform bill. and its effect must
be widespread, both on business and
Industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con
fdent that business will suffer no un.
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited
Changes In the Rates.
The bill imposes an average ad
yalorem rate Of from q to 20 per
cent. Tho average for the present
Aldrich law is 4O.12 per cent. The
average for the Wilson-Gorm act
was 3945 per cent.
Duties generally have been reduced
on all of the articles that enter into
the necessaries Of life, including the
products Of the farm as well as manu-.
factured products
Trust made products in many cases
have been transferred to the free list
or the duties at present imposed have
been substantially reduced
The income tax feature Of tho bill is
expected to net some SS3,OOO,OOO. It
will call for tax on net incomes Of
unmarried persons Of $1,000 and up
wards and on net incomes Of married
persons living together, where tho

WHO WILL BE NEXT?

The conservation of Bishop Duffy

The average layman rejoices when
some friend of his in the priesthood

which his work and merit justify. But
now and again, dreaming perhaps OF
the future, we naturally wonder where
will be the next place where our peo-
pie will not demand but pray for a
more immediate jurisdiction.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Of
the supreme court, bemoans the Flip
pant attacks on the judiciary. These
onslaughts, he says, are merely an
expression Of the unrest that seems
to wonder vaguely whether law and
order pay" The grief these attacks
bring to him are expressed in a
speech of his which was made public
this week. Il got letters" says the
Supreme Court Justice, mot always
anonymous, intimating that we are
corrupt. Well. gentlemen, admit
that it makes my heart ache It. is
very painful when one spends all the
energies of ones soul in trying to do
good work, with NO thought but that
of solving a problem according to the
rules by which one Is bound, to know
that many see sinister motives and
would be glad of evidence that one
was consciously bad.'
The discovery Of faithless servants
OF the people has brought about a
condition in which the rule is to dis
trust every one instead of assuming
innocence until guilt is proven. The
result is the innocent have to suffer
with the guilty.

ANTIQUITY OF FAKE pocToRs.

The fake doctor is not recent in
vention by any means. He piled his
false art and got his rebuffs-and his
fees-away back iii the ages when he
had few competitors but Of his own
Kind. At the dawn of Christianity he
was on the scene, and no one knows
how long before. He was even a per-
sonage of sufficient Importance to be
singled out for biblical ridicule.
In the fifth chapter of st. Marks
Gospel we are told Of the daughter OF
Jarius, one of the rulers Of the syna-
gogue, who was troubled with an is
sue of blood for twelve years. and who
finally was healed by touching the
hem of Christ's garment. OF her case
st. Mark says she ''had suffered many
things from many physicians, and had
spent all that she had, and was moth
ing the better, but rather worse"
This sounds as modern as if it were
written but yesterday. 1t is one of
the human touches of the Biblical
writings that make them appeal to ua
all. We hare all heard Of people that
have suffered many things from many
physicians and spent all that they
had and were nothing the better. but
rather worse" for 1t.
1t is easy to infer from the brief
reference that even in the time of
Christ. and long before, there were
medical men who were masters Of the
art of exchanging promises for cash.
They could hold forth promises of
health for their victims until they had
extracted as much cash as was in
sight and then suggest change OF
climate for their patients to relieve
themselves of the necessity OF chang
ing the field of their practice-just as
they do now.
The fake medical man has a. lone
line of ancestors. The cvolutionist
can, no doubt. point to him in the tree
tops of antiquity plying his art on the
other monkies, just as he has been
doing ever since he and they have
learned to walk erect. And perhaps
1t was while he was gnawing the bark
of trees and eating herbs that he got
his first idea of curatives. Who
knows, unless the evolutionist can
throw light on the obscure subject?

surely then the man who has guided
the destinies of the Church in this un-
paralleled commonwealth will find
easily at hand material to reflect hon
or on the Church and on the Arch
diocese of st. Paul.
In other places our ecclesiastical
superiors have had to look beyond
their provinces for leading men in the
priesthood to carry on the work when
p Bishop was called to his reward or
to adequately fill the position of a
newly created ecclesiastical see: but
never once in the Northwest has it
been necessary to invite one from out
side our province. The grandest trib-
ute that can be paid to the Archbishop
OF st. Paul and through him to the
clergy under his charge, is that there
was always the best possible material
to select from and when the time
comes-and come it surely will in the
immediate future-when our immense
territory will be re-districted no one
doubts that there are many pastors
adequately equipped for any position
they may be called upon to fill: and
say what we may, the question is
asked in many a Catholic home, who
will be the next one of our clergy to
be raised to the Episcopate - WHO
WILL BE THE NEXT?

in those sections is great deal more
of a gamble than it is here, where. in
a year of crop failure, the farmer at
least gets enough to repay him for his
labor.
The same condition prevails in Call
ifornia. While the citrus fruit indus
try is rich mans game and he prob-
ably makes dividend occasionally on
his $4,000 an acre land which I have
always been skeptical enough to
question, I believe many Of the peck.
cts of wealthy citrus fruit growerO
have been quite we'll drained by the
universal freeze this year. The small
rancher on the other hand has to com.
pete with the Jap and Chinaman whO
invariably engages in the poultry ana
truck business and you can readily
imagine how a Minnesota farmer
would come out under such compete
ton. 1t is true that they can raise
two and three crops year In those
countries against your one In this
country, but then the expense Of land,
water and fertilizer is so great that
unless they sell the product at a high
price it will not pay the cost Of pro-
duction and at the present time they
are compelled to depend on the rail-
roads to market their crop for them
which results very often in the entire
profit being consumed by the carriers.
must state, however, that the land
in the Rio Grande valley and other
parts of Texas will produce as much
as any land have ever seen and when
the country becomes more densely set
tied, SO that the market will not be
so far distant, the man who farms that
country scientifically will make it pay
well for his labor, but it will take the
Minnesota farmer at least a few gen.
erations to acclimate himself so that
he can retain sufficient energy to keep
up his industrious spirit after he re-
sides few years under the gentle
zephyrs of the equators rays, mingled
with the gulf breezes.
California, too, has much good and
productive land of which the same
might be said and she of course has
a climate superior to the south at
least for man accustomed to the
north and I hope some day in the fu-
ture to be so situated that 1 can re-
tire with sufficient funds and such a
retiring disposition that 1 can enjoy
an easy life near the beach of the
great Pacific ocean somewhere near
the wonderfully developing city of Los
Angeles or the world -renowned harbor
of San Diego.

THE HOME RULE BILL.

Action on the Home Rule bill at the
present session of parliament has been
deferred until June. The delay is no
to the members of the
Irish party. as the postponement was
expected and is not going to hurt the
chances Of the successful passage of
the bill. 1t will, on the other hand,
keep up the interest Of the Irish and
Liberal parties in the work of the ses-
sion to the close.
Under the provisions of the Govern
ment bill no amendment to the bill can
be made without the consent Of both
houses of parliament and as that is
scarcely a possibility, there is no rea-
son to believe that the bill will be held
up very long by debate. A week, or
two weeks at the outside, will be re-
quired for the second passage of the
measure. The majority will be. the
same. within a few votes, as was CIV
en- the bill on its first passage.
1t will then go to the House of Lords
in its natural course. What the upper
house will do is not a matter of much
concern. The lords will hardly recede
from their former position and assent
to the will Of the lower house. But
the most they are able to do now is
to persist in delaying Home Rule
They cannot stop its passage. That

Ex-President Taft says the laws de-
lay is due to lawyers rather than to
judges. In speech last Saturday
night before the Corby Court club of
the Yale law school. he said:
THE courts in this country are not
controlled by judges, but by lawyers
who bring cases before them. The
manner that We have of prosecuting
criminal laws is disgrace. The num-
Der OF real criminals that get away
even without being brought to trial is
something of which we can truly be
ashamed"
The business Of the lawyer in this
day and age is TO win his case and not
merely to get justice for his client
Naturally he takes advantage OF every
opening the courts allow him, because
his reputation depends on the success
he has in court. If the delay which
the lawyer brings about is the cause
OF the injustice attributed to our
courts, the procedure ought to be sc
perfected as to take that power out OF
the lawyers hands.

CHURCH AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Inez Milholland, the New York suf-
fragette leader, accuses the Catholic
Church of being opposed to equal suf-
frage and says that It has taken ex.
IRENE measures to prevent women
from reading literature pertaining to
the question. Cardinal Gibbons an
swers:
1.-THE mission of the Church Is to
define faith and morals. In other
matters individuals must decide for
themselves. Personally I am opposed
to female suffrage because Il am in
favor Of perpetuating the dignity Of
women. The Christian religion has
elevated woman to her present sphere.
She is no longer the slave Of man or
the toy Of his caprice, but the equal,
the peer Of man. She is the queen of
the domestic kingdom and her proper
sphere is in the home. If she were to
| embark in political life it Is to be
feared that her dignity would be jeop-
| ardized."

! testify to the truth of the Cardinals
! words. her embarkation in the field

THE GOOD FELLOW.

1t is easy to besa good fellow, but
costly. When a young man with the
best views of life and the best inten-
tons to live we'll il thrown among as
sociates who have no regard for vir-
tue or honor, he faces the alternative
of becoming one of them or leading a
dreary existence while among them.
If he tries to live a decent and tlp-
right life he cannot take part in their
pastimes. He Is an outcast from
their company for the atmosphere that
makes him to home with them is lack
ing. But he is not running the risk
Of losing their respect, because no
matter how his associates differ from
him in their views, so long as he at
tends to his own affairs, they will re-
spect him down deep in their better
nature.
But the longing for comradeship is
strong. 1t is hard to live alone in the
crowd. There is the ever pressing
temptation to become one Of the crowd
and to live like the men in it. 1t is
the temptation to become a good fell
low. The young man knows that he
can win laugh by casting little
slur on the traditions he once held
dear, but which the crowd likes to
see ridiculed; for in that is their
pleasure. He may make joke of
some doctrine of his religion or some
tradition of his race. In SO doing he
becomes good fellow and a recog-
nized member of the company. He
then has something in common with
the others and life is made more
pleasant, if there can be said to be
real pleasure in such fellowship.
But consider the cost. He runs the
risk Of cutting loose from his moor
ings and of being set adrift on a
troubled sea. If he loses his faith he
1oses the only rudder that can ever
guide him to safety. He becomes a
good fellow, but at the cost Of being
man.
