The latest fad is boycotting
churches in Ulster. The plan is to
have an Ulster Sunday in all the
churches and the Unionists propose
to withhold contributions from all
ministers not in sympathy with them
or the policy they advocate. This ex-
cellent spirit of religious federation is
what makes the Unionists fear the re-

Late for the Mass.

To many Catholics the mass is d.
vided into two parts, says the Inter-
mountain Catholic.
The end of the first gospel is the
line of demarcation. Conscientious
Catholics who confess that thew have
been "late for mass" present a prob
lem to the conscientious confessor.
He must ascertain if the person who
was "late for mass" was so late as
not to have heard mass at all. His
question generally brings the further
information that the tardy attendant
was or was not in church before the
first gospel had been finished.
There are three essential parts of
the mass: The offertory, the conse-
Grafton and the communion. These
being essential parts must be effected
at the one and same mass, which the
conscientious Catholic will be scrupu-
lous IN attending on Sundays and
holydays of obligation. If a person
comes into church after offertory, or
leaves before communion, he has not
heard mass and has, therefore, not
fulfilled his obligation.
In order to fulfill to the letter the
precept of hearing mass, a person
should be present from the verv be-
ginning and remain to the verv end
From this obligation has arisen a GUS
tom which necessitates another word
OF caution. It is true that, if we have
missed the preliminary prayers of the
mass we may supply for the defect by
attending SO much of a second mass
as had been missed at the first, If q
person should arrive at and should
remain for the second mass up to the
time of the conservation. he wouldr
not have fulfilled his obligation ir-
respective of the time he had remained
In church, since he had been present
at no one mass in it's essential en-
tirety.
II person goes to mass and dis
covers that the chalice has been nm
covered, he may be assured that he
Will have to hear all of another mass

plying OF deficiency will satisfy.

Washington, February 2S.-(Special.) Probably no policy of the Wilson admin istration is of such vital interest to Ala bama and the south Tn general as the water power policy. Alabama has vast uDdeveloped holdings in water power. The value of this natural resource to the state cannot be estimated, but it unquestion- ably takes rank with the states great re- sources in coal and iron.
 Alabama water powers have only in very limited way been exploited, and only small percentage actually developed Be- sides the Tennessee river and the great undeveloped power of Muscle Shoals, the Coosa and Alabama rivers have thousands and thousands of horse power waiting only for the capital to put them to commercial use.

ninistration is announced in q letter from Secretary of War Garrison to Chairman Adamson of the House interstate com merce committee, which includes bill to be introduced in Congress, which if passed will be the new public dam act.
 This policy recognizes states rights to the extent that the tax placed and fixed by the federal government when granting the right to dam a navigable stream for water power purposes shall go into the coffers of the state in which the power site is located It also provides that the corporation seeking this right in the first place must be a public utility company and subject to the laws regulating public utilities, and the state in which the ap- plying company desires to locate its dam
 must for the protection of the people and the prevention of monopoly and other mis- use, have provided a commission or body authorized and empowered to properly regulate public utilities of this character" Further, before the permission of the gov- ernment is granted the utilities commis- sion of the state must have provided proper regulations to the end that the company shall make proper use of the utility, give proper service, make only reasonable charges, and otherwise conduct itself in a way to conserve the rights of the people in the use of the public util-

the Black Warrior, and the Tombigbee rivers and the numerous other streams of the state have in a smaller degree great possibilities in the development of hydro electric power.
 The Alabama delegation in Congress has stoutly maintained the policy of states rights in the control and the development of her water power. President Taft took the side of Clifford Pinchot and the con- servationists that the federal government had a right to exercise a control and levy tax on water powers, when issuing a grant, for dams on navigable streams. The Alabama delegation has taken issue with the conservationists and insisted that te right of control and of taxation if any-belonged to the state itsesf.

Minimum Time Fifty Years

Also the act provides a limitation of any grant or right issued by the federal gov ernment. the maximum time of such grant to be 50 years.
 Secretary of War Garrison suggests that in lieu of a direct tax upon the cor poration the state can, if it desires, waive the tax, and instead provide scheme providing that the dam and accessory works should. at the end of fixed period, become the property of the state.
 One of the general and principal ob- iections advanced by those who do not agree with the idea of federal authority over water powers in the various states is that any tax whatsoever levied on water powers as condition to their development tends not only to discourage development and make capital shy, but if levied must of a necessity come out of the ultimate consumer
 They conterd that in states where the market is imited for power the develop ment of their resources in this respect may be seriously hampered by restrictions which might be proper for densely popu- lated districts, where there is an unlim- tied demand from manufacturing and commercial interests for power, and where capital can afford to make it's investment because it can calculate its revenue with reasonable certainty.
 No Hard and Fast Rule
 The act proposed by Secretary of War Garrison, however, fixes no hard and fast rule for the taxing and regulation of water power concerns. It leaves these rules and regulations with the states and their utl- ities commission; all that is required is that presumably they must meet the re- quirements of the Secretary of War, for the secretary says, in his letter to Chair man Adamson: "In all cases where these provisions have been complied with the Secretary of War may issue the permit
 It is taken, therefore, that the public utilities commission of Alabama, if the law is passed, will grant the applicant the right to build a dam, only upon condition that it agrees to comply with whatever
