100000 TO CARE FOR.

Bishop Biermans of Uganda, British
East Africa, has about 100000 souls
under his care. He needs men and
money. But instead of becoming dis.
heartened puts his entire trust in God
for his motto is mil nisi tie Domino
The Baganda are his oldest Chris
tians and he is trying to persuade
many of the young men to go as
catechists into the wilds. They are
proud to be called his "own big chill
dren" and are f1attered at being asked
to teach their unenlightened brethren
of the interior.
The Bishop meets with all kinds OF
experiences in going the rounds OF
his extensive vicariate. Recently, he
was overtaken by violent storm
and was obliged to take shelter in a
hut which contained besides the native
family, chickens, goats and other
creatures.

An appeal, touching the patriotic
spirit of Americans, is made by Father

Poverty seems to be his lot in COM

of the Philippines. He says:

all remains yet to be done. The peo-

HOW COD REPAYS

The factory gates were thrown
open, and the throng of toilers poured
out, pressing on with eager, though
earned rest awaited them. Though
to a casual observer the appearance
of the young women and girls who
composed the working staff of the
great Manchester cotton factory pre-
scented a great similarity of type, a
more careful glance would note diff
ference. The plain, simple-fashioned
garments of some showed a scrupulous
attention to personal neatness. Their
whole demeanor bore the impress of
an innate self-respect, that self-re-
spect which makes it's owner look
upon her work, however lowly, as duty.
To many of those toilers the divine
gift of Faith taught the higher truth,
that duty is the direct carrying out
of the will of Him who spent the
greater part of His earthly life in the
hard illrequited toll of Nazareth
A girl of this latter type was Nora
Driscoll. Quietly she made her way
through the crowded thoroughfares,
past the smoke egrimed public build
ings to the narrow, illpaved street,
where, in an attic of small lodging
house, she lived. 1t was a weary
climb for Nora's tired feet to that
same attic, yet she was content, be
cause from it could be had a glimpse
of sky and of the river, for the Irwell

This evening the young girls spirits
were high, and all things looked
bright to her. Out of her hardly,
earned wages she had just completed
the sum of money which would enable
her to take short holiday in Ireland

necessity had driven her.

CATHOLIC INDIAN MISSIONS.

Reverend VIM. H. Ketcham, Director
of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Mis-
sions, Washington, D. c., has issued
the following statement of the Society
for the Preservation of the Faith
Among Indian Children for 1912:
The returns from the Society for
the Preservation of the Faith Among
Indian Children for 1912 have been
as follows:
From membership fees. -. 8,675.62
From special appeal of the
bureau l1,1S5.4U
From Marquette League:
Chapels, etc. .......... 2,715OO
From Mass intentions. 500. 2,65950
From trust legacies and in
terest on same. ....... 3,3O851
Total .................. $39, l44O3
The receipts of the Preservation So
ciety for 1912 have been $18,161.19 in
excess of the receipts for 1911. This
is due in great measure to the special
efforts that have been made during
the year to promote the society. It is
encouraging to note, however, the
awakening to the needs of the Indian
missions which this report would seem
to manifest. If this ratio of gain can
be maintained for few years the
Catholic Indian mission problem will
have been solved. At no time in the
past has opposition to the Catholic
Indian missions been more bitter and
violent than during the year 1912, and
it is of the greatest Importance that
adequate financial assistance be pro-
vided for them. The anti Catholic
forces are unit in their opposition
to the work; it behooves all Catholics
Bishops, priests and laymen-to pre-
sent to these forces a solid front of
defence and to cooperate more gen.
erously than ever in providing the
"sinews of war" May the year 1913
be a record year for the Catholic In
dian missions!

THE CONFEDERATE KoYUMEE1

The dedication Of the Confederate monu-
ment on the 3rd Of June is an event which
should attract the attendance of the whole
people of the county 10 Rockville, regardless
OF the sentiments which may have pre-
vailed nearly fifty years ago All sections
OF the country have come to realize that
the great struggle of the sixties was an
inevitable episode of world history. and
that questions which involve social and
economic revolutions can rarely be settled
without resort to arms While the conflict
lasts feeling is bitter. the friendships which
have ripened through years of intercourse
are disrupted, and untold disaster infiicts
a woeful burden Of suffering upon the land.
When exhaustion brings about the cessa-
ton Of war the shout of the conqueror and
the despair Of the conquered for a time
keep the spirit Of antasonism alive But
time and reflection by slow degrees allay
the bitterness, the necessities of business
renew the intercourse of antagonists, and
IT is discovered that the differences were
not personal but general and that the prin-
ciples for which each side contended were
as honestly entertained upon one side as
upon the other. There arises a mutual
recognition Of courage and manly devotion
and OF the fact that both must dwell to-
eether, that duty lies not in the past but
in the future. and that patriotism demands
the best that is in US for today and to-
morrow.
With few exceptions. the men who wore
the blue and the men who wore the gray
have faced their duties in peace as they
met them upon the field OF battle, and they
respect each other now in the home and in
the avenues of business and social contact
as they respected each other then in the
midst OF carnage And they feel that the
qualities which tested the heroism and
endurance Of men fighting for the right as
they understood it. should be kept forever
in the memory Of future generations as
examples in all times of crisis.
1t is in this spirit that this monument is
erected to commemorate the sons of Mont
eomery County who fought in the Southern
army. They bore their part as nobly as
anytroops who ever drew sword. and their
place in the temple Of fame is as sure as
that of the heroes Of Thermopolae. In the
days of peace that have followed the war
they have proved their patriotism anew
by laboring to restore the waste which war
had wrought, and gave their time and
thought to the common welfare as the
common citizen should do.
Few OF the veterans are left now. They.
in common with their comrades who have
passed away. deserve to be honored, and
the survivors should see the memorial that
for all time shall be the record Of their
unselfish service. The multitudes of to-
day who could not participate in the great
events of which these men we're a part,
can take courage from their example and
learn the great lesson that sacrifice is the
foundation Of all worthy service.
For the sake Of the past, the present and
the future, let the 3rd of June be great
day in the annals Of our county.

They at once picked Mr.. Lewis. John

for the place and telling them not to &C

Mr.. Lewis wanted place on the Com
mittee on Postofice and Post Roads in
order to be in better position to push his
parcel post legislation. Officials of the
American Federation of Labor then made
personal appeals to him and he finally con-
scented to take the Craftsmanship.
By taking this assignment Mr.. Lewis
must vacate his place on the Military Az
fairs Committee and give up his ambition
to serve on the Postofice Committee.
As chairman of the Labor Committee
Mr.. Lewis will figure in the legislation that
is destined to make him as prominent In
the country as his advocacy of the parceI
post has done. When the Democrats eot

ATTACKING THE LOBBY.

President Wilson's attack on the lobby
which is at work in Washington to infiu-
ence the character Of the new tariff bill is
timely and pointed. Nobody loves lob
byist. The whole species is a nuisance
and an irritation. and could be abolished
without causing any sense Of loss to the
Capital.
There is in Washington now, and there
always has been at such times as these,
lobby which overruns the corridors Of
hotels and the Capitol. buttonholing. coer-
cling. threatening, stirring up manufac-
tured telegraph campaigns from congress
mems home districts. and bringing even
honest opponents of the present tariff
making program into disrepute.
The Presidents statement in full is as
follows:
Il think that the public ought to know
the extraordinary exertions being made by
the lobby in Washington to gain recoeni-
tion for certain alterations Of the tariff bill.
Washington has seldom seen so numerous,
so industrious, or so insidious a lobby.
The newspapers are being filed with paid
advertisements calculated TO mislead the
judgment of public men not only. but also
the public opinion Of the country itself.
There is every evidence that money with
out limit is being spent to sustain this
lobby and to create an appearance Of a
pressure Of public opinion antaeonistic to
some Of the chief items Of the tariff bill.
1t is OF serious interest to the country that
the people at large should have no lobby
and be voiceless in these matters. while
great bodies Of astute men seek to create
an artificial opinion and to overcome the
interests of the public for their private
profit. 1t is thoroughly worth the while
Of the people Of this country to take knowl-
edge Of this matter. Only public opinion
can check and destroy it.
The Government in all its branches
ought to be relieved from this intolerable
burden and this constant interruption to
the calm progress Of debate. know that
in this am speaking for the members Of
the two houses, who would rejoice as much
as would to be released from this I'M
