Union Will Not Stand by Drinking
Men

Catholic Total Abstinence Union
Advocate: At the Boston Street Car
Mems Union meeting held in Ire
mont Temple January 9, General
Organizer Fay stated that the Union
would not uphold men who are I'M
der the influence of liquor while at
work or who are frequenters of sa-
looms off duty.
Notice has been served by the
company upon the Union that it in
tended to enforce rigidly its rules
regarding the use of liquor by en-
ployes. The company had that right
declared Organizer Fay, and he then
added the information that the I'm
ion would not take up the cudgels
for men who might be disciplined
or discharged for breaking these
rules.

The Talking Motion Pictures.

Just how the new talking motion
pictures are operated. and why the
voices of the people appearing on
the screen seem to come direct from
the mouths of each, are questions
which many people ask whenever
the "talkies," as they are now called
on New York's East Side, are shown.
An illustration in the May POpu-
lar Mechanics Magazine shows the
connection by means of which the
motion-picture machine, high up in
the gallery of the theater, and the
photograph, located in a we'll in the
stage just behind the screen or cur
tain, are synchronized, or made to
operate at the same time and speed,
so that the motion of the lips in
talking and singing may be stimuli
taneous with the uttering Of the
sound. Every sound or noise made
by the persons producing material
for the talking pictures is caught
by single monograph recorder
while the motion-picture camera is
taking the pictures. In reproducing
the talking pictures all that is ne
cessary is to provide that the pho
nograph and the picture machine
be run in the same relation to each
other as when the pictures were
made and the sounds recorded. This
is done by mechanically connecting
the motion picture projecting ma
chine and the monograph by means
of an endless wire cable running
over pulleys. 81

Friends.

I awoke this morning with devout
thanksgiving for my friends, the Old
and the new. Shall | not call God
the beautiful, who daily showeth
himself to me in his gifts? l chide
society, I embrace solitude, and yet
am not 80 ungrateful as not to see
the wise, the lovely and the noble
minded, as from time to- time they
pass my gate. Who hears me, who
understands me becomes mine-a
possession for all time. Nor is ma
ture so poor but she gives me this
joy several times, and thus VIC
weave social threads of our own, a
new web of relations; and as many
thoughts in succession substantiate
themselves, we shall, by, and by,
stand in a new world of our own
creation, and no longer strangers
and pilgrims on a traditionary globe.
My friends have come to me I'M
sought. The great God gave them
to me.-Emerson.

Relief at Last.

The Commoner:: The Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee have presented tariff
bill prepared in consultation with
the President. It goes long way to-
ward bringing the relief which, the
Democratic party has promised the
people. If it is not exactly what each
one desires it will be remembered
that tariff bill is composite opin-
ion of many persons, not the opin-
ion of one alone. The bill, however,
in the total reduction made as we'll
as in detail will commend itself to
large majority of those who de-
sire tariff reform. )
It seems probable that the Senate
will pass the bill substantially in
the form in, which it passes the
House; thus a united party will
speak Immediately and emphatical-
ly for the relief of an oyerburdened
people. Surely the day of jubilee is
near at hand.

How My Boy Went Down.

It was not on the field Of battle,
1t was not with a ship at sea, -
But a fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me. -,
Twas the death in the tempting
wine-Cup
That the reason and senses drown
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down.
'Tis only the same old story
That mothers so often tell,
With accents of infinite sadness
Like the tones of a funeral bell.
But | never once thought when
heard it,
| should learn all its meaning my
self; f1.
thought he'd be true to his
mother,
I thought he'd be true to himself
But alas for hopes. all delusion!
Alas for his youthful pride!
Alas! who are safe when danger.
Is open on every side?
Can nothing destroy this great evil,
No bar in its pathway be thrown,
To save from the terrible maelstrom
The thousands Of boys going
down? Anonymous.

There Is a Reason.

One of the first laws OF nature Is
self preservation. 1t is in this spirit
that the Californians are leglslatlng
against the Japanese. With the Cali
fornians the Japanese question is as
was the issue of the negro when he
was being thrust upon the South by
yenal politicians. The South after
a bitter experience triumphed in the
maintenance of the rule of intelli-
gence and white supremacy,
If the Japs were in no greater
number in California and in the
States of the Pacific than they are
in Louisiana OF in the Southern
States, there would be no reason for
this radical opposition by the Call
fornians. The situation has reached
that stage where self preservation
becomes the first law of nature. The
Japs in California, and throughout
the Pacific States, are clannish, ag-
gressiye and domineering. and are
acquiring by their already great and
steadily increasing number con-
troll that is positively menacin@ In
their aggressions and their boldness
the Japs are encouraged by their
reliance on the Japanese govern
ment, which has become embold-
ened by the somewhat conservative
and conciliatory policy of the Unit
ed States during the presidency OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
Considered in the singular num-
Der, the Japanese, being Mongo-
lian, can not acquire the rights and
the privileges Of citizenship as are
vested in individuals of the eau
casian race.
The legislation of California is di-
rected against the japanese as all
alien who can not acquire property
and become vested with American
citizenship. To this proceeding
Japan protests, claiming that by
treaty these privileges are reserved
to the japanese residing in tn Unit
ed States. The same rights may be
reserved by Japan to thus ALLEVIATE
Americans in Japan. .
This in brief is the bone OF con-
tention. Unlike Roosevelt, President
Wilson is for the moment hands
or while efforts at consultation
and in the adjustment of the fine
technical points are in progress. In
the interim the cry of war is being
raised in Japan, but the United
States remains unterrified yet
watchful.
The whole issue or contention
must rest on whether the citizens
Of California can through their &C
credited representatives in legal as
sembly convened protect them
selves from the grasping, clannish,
aggressive domination of the Jap
anese.

Local Survey of What Drink Costs
the TAXPAYER.

Catholic Total Abstinence Union
Advocate: One of the chief causes
of the various kinds of social mis-
cry, and a chief cause of the enor-
nous burden imposed upon the
poor budget has been rightly
charged to alcoholism. Halle and
other large cities ascribe a third OF
the costs of poverty to this cause:
Hamburg one-half, others more;
Geneva even nine-tenths9 MANY dl-
fectors of large institutions for re-
lieving the poor agree with their
opinion. Most communities, how-
ever, are without definite infor.na-
ton as to how much the care of
their drinkers has cost them.
The City of Elbing has made an
investigation of the cost of poverty
caused by drink during the year Of
1905 to 1908. ~

Keeping Tab on the Boy.

The years between "A and 10 are
often critical years with the city
child. He is not allowed to work
more than eight hours al day. AS a
consequence his employment IS
often irregular. Many boys spend a
third or even half of these two
years on the streets rather than at
work. The Association of Commerce
estimates that there are about 10000
boys in Chicago between the ages Of
1l and is who are neither working
nor at school. The street is the
worst place for them. They pick
NO bad company there. Idleness
leads to mischief. A bill partly to
remedy this situation has been in
PRODUCED in the legislature by Sen
ator Magill.-Chicago Tribune.
That idleness leads to mischief is
an assertion indisputable, but in the
greatest percentage of cases moral
persuasion and kindness and love-
fulness from the parents would be
more effective than any law OF re-
straint. A boy is boy, and it is
because he is a boy that he should
always be held within the influence
OF the home. 1t is true that some
boys are hayward and will go astray
despite the loving care and tender
influence of the parents, but these
are the exceptions. At any rate it
is the duty of parents to keep tab
ON their boy as they would on their
girl, and to check their inclination
10 waywardness, which may be bet
ter attained by appeals to reason
and common sense than to law or
threats of police power.

Punishment for Crooked Politics

New Orleans States: Crooked poll
tics received another telling blow at
Philadelphia when Henry Clay, for
mer director of public safety, and
two contractors were senienced to
the State penitentiary for from
eighteen months to two years. Clay
held his office for four years, and
it was shown on his trial that he
had scarcely assumed the position
before the fraudulent p. actices
were started.
Clay was a political power in
Philadelphia and had the backing OF
the corrupt Republican org@nlza-
ton. The result of his admlnistra-
ton is proof that he considered
public plumber as Of more import
ance than public service. He and his
fellow conspirators robbed the peo-
pie by means Of bogus contracts,
overcharges and padded lists. The
city of Philadelphia is now sung
the convicted contractors in an eff
fort to recover portion of the vast
sum filched from the treasury.
The punishment of these graft
ers," says the Pittsburg Post, is Il
triumph of justice, won after hard
fight, for the convicted men con-
tested the case vigorously. They
will continue their efforts through
the court of last resort, but there is
little doubt that they will ultimate
ly havetO serve their terms"
