DENIEs HE was a JESUIT

y
New York, Jan. 25.-Bavid
Fillhouse Buel, former Jesuit
educator, once head of George
town University, Washington, d.
c., in a bitter attack on two mem
bers of the order to which he for
merly belonged, today denied he
was a Jesuit at the time he mar
ried Miss Katherine Frances
Powers.
The controversy between Buel
and leaders of the Jesuit order has
aroused members of the Catholic
church throughout the East.
Buel's denial that he was a
Jesuit at the time of his marriage
was made in a letter sent to the
United Press through F. H. Rog-
ers of Cambridge, Mass. He de-
clared he was in good standing,
and no charges had been pre-
ferred against him when, July IL,
1912, he resigned from the Soci-
ETY. of Jesus by serving proper
notice to that effect on the super
iors of the society"
The uncaHed and unnecessary
criticism of the writer given to
reporters by the Jesuit Gasson of
Boston" continues Buel, land of
the Jesuit Duarte, vice president
of Georgetown University, is SO

Jesuit methods of secrecy and
concealment in such matters as to
suggest they have been prompted

made Today by DR. F K Ainsworth,
chief surgeon of the railroad. in
whose hands the disposition Of the
funds is placed.
The purpose of the endowment

cal research. For the last two
years, the work has been going on
under the direction of DR. " 7
Cummings of the Southern Pacific
general hospital at San Francisco.
DR. Cummings has devoted his time
to study of serums with special
relation to typhoid fever and tuber-
culosis, and has contributed some
valuable experimental data to the
existing store of scientific know
ledge.
The fund is placed in the hands
nf the Union Trust company of
San Francisco. the income being

Deceived by the Title.

In the titles of books lie at times
pitfalls for the unwary. An almost
classic example was afforded by John
Ruskin when In 1851 he wrote short
pamphlet on the text, "There shalt be
Vne fold and one shepherd" This,
which treated Of the reunion OF the
Protestant churches, was published as
"Notcs on the Construction of Sheep
folds"-a title which, appealing rather
to the agricultural than to the clerical
mind. insured brisk circulation
among farmers.

CONSCIENCE MONEY

Have the American people sud-
denly become more or less con-
scientious? How account for the
drop of the government conscience
fund of S28.l4? These figures for
the year ending June 80 are the
lowest voluntary restitutions for
IL years.
A plausible explanation is that
this fund has come largely from
travellers who lied at the custom
house about dutiable goods. Re-
cent prosecutions no doubt con-
vinced them the game is not worth
playing.
Conscience must be firmly hand
led to be a successful sinner. If
you give a child candy between
meals once or twice soon he de.
mands daily allowance. If con-
science is dealt with firmly and as
matter of principle, it soon comes
to know it's place. But if handled
in temporizing fashion it becomes
very unruly and pokes its nose into
everything. Many successful
Americans have felt when it came
TO matter Of buying legislatures
or city councils that this was realm
in which questions of conscience
could not enter. The mere fact
that it was business placed it out
side questions of morality or i'm
morality.
Government conscience funds
come from unsuccessful sinners.
They wanted to play the game, but
didn't quite dare to. They tenn
porized with conscience. They
would pass the winking officer with
some plausible excuse. The law
may mean or the goods sold at auc.
tion wouldn't bring the price. Civ.
en- an inch, conscience took an eli
and finally forced restitution.
The fall Of the conscience fund
therefore does not seem to have
much significance. Let no slurs be-
cast at uneasy souls that returned
illgotten savings. The act is high
ly creditable. While fear is called
low down motive the Good Book
says the fear Of the Lord is the be
ginning of wisdom. Would that
more people entertained it!

THE STAR SPANGLEO BANNER

Next year will be the centenary
of the writing by Francis Scott Key
of the National anthem, "The Star
Spangled Banner" 1t was this
hammer floating from old Fort Nc
Henry, near Baltimore during the
British attack in 1914 which inspi-
red Key to write the great anthem
as he witnessed from a British ship
the floating of that banner. 1t is
stated that the historic flag of old
Fort McHenry, which inspired the
Cde ''is one of the very few of
the National flags having Is stripes
as we'll as Is stars, being issued at
the time just proceeding the stand
ardization of the number of the
stripes as l3." But as the New
York Tribune points out, this is a
complete error. At first the idea
in making the National flag was
that the stripes could be increased
one for each State just as the stars
are increased one for each State
The original flag has Is stars and
IS stripes. When two States were
added a flag of Is stripes and Is
stars was adopted on January 13,
1894 by Congress and this flag was
in constant use until July 4, 1918.
AS our New York contemporary
points out. That period of more
than 20 years comprised the war
with France, the second war with
Great Britain, the Florida cam
paigns, the Louisiana Purchase, the
Lewis and Clark expedition and
the Barbary war. 1t is absurd to
say that in all that stirring time
very few National flags were made.
II was found however that it
would be impossible to add stripes
to the flag for each state as stars
were added when states were adj
mitted to the Union, since the flag
would be unwieIdy and so on April
ID, 1918, law was enacted making
the number Of stripes 13 as origin.
ally enacted and adding q star to
the field on the fourth day Of July
after the admission of any new
state. That has been the form of
the flag ever since, until now we
have the field covered with six
rows Of stars. eight stars to the
row, and probably complete; for
there seems no likelihood at this
time of any further additions to
the number of the States.
Rut since the flag of Is stripes
was so long in use and was carried
through strenuous war times. it is
not likely that the number Of such
flags is small. 1t is quite to be
supposed that the identical flag
floating from old Fort McHenry
carrying Is stripes may be unique.
But of other 15 stripe flags there
, must be many in the different
| States and arsenals Of the Repub
E lie.

BIC ARM0R PLATE
GRAFT Fl May SOON
| Be ENDED BY u. S.

Washington, July 22--What sem
sible objection is there to the pro-
|bosal that the United States gov
ernment manufacture its own arm
or plate?
United States Senator Henry F.
Ashurst of Arizona declares that
the answer to the above query that
there isn't any sensible objection
and therefore. contends that the
government should hereafter man
ufacture its own armor plate. He
declares. and facts seem to bear
him out. that millions of dollars
could be saved to the government
annually if a government armnr
plate factory is established.
The government now manufact-
ures its own ammunition, yet when
it is proposed that the government
should manufacture some armor
plate for the use of its own ships,
their idea is boo-hooed by some
statement as "socialistic" pattern
listic" and "maternalistic"
1t being ascertained a few years
agu that the powder trust was
charging exorbltant prices for pow
der the government constructed its
own plant and now manufactures
mud sf its own powder.
The powder which the govern
ment purchases costs about 65
cents a pound. while the powder
the government makes for it's own
use costs 81 cents pound.
The government has been in the
habit of paying from $4O0 to $700
per ton tor armor plate. Expert
witnesses testifying before the Sen
ate Committee on Naval Affairs on
February IL, 1897. expressed the
belief that the government could
manufacture it's own Tarmor plate
for from $3.50 to $500 per ton.
When it is considered that between
March 3. 1887, and January Is,
1912, this government paid out
$77,103,483 for armor plate, "a this
state of affairs becomes serious
Had the government manufactured
its own armor plate during the
period mentioned here is reason
to believe that one.third of this
huge sum, or $255 OFT. l61, coulc
have been saved to the people.
The armor plate trust has never
played fair with Uncle Sam. Wher
the Carnegie Steel Company was
selling armor plate to our govern
ment at figure Of from $500 pei
ton to S700 per ton, it was selling
armor plate to Russia at about
$249 per ton, as shown by the re
port of the investigating committee
of 1894.
The Senate Naval Affairs Commit
tee which investigated the subject
in 1897 reported that government
armor plate factory could bt
erected for 81 100000, and that Il
was expedient to establish such
factory" But the steel trust wa
