Weekly Grain Review.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.J
CHICAGO, Dec. administering re-
ceipts and good export business this
week gave wheat the most substantial
gains experienced in many weeks.
December futures closed today with
net gain OF four cents for the week
and May gained three cents
On Monday, visible supply figures
showed an unexpected decrease OF
1907, 900 bushels and raised the hopes
of the bulls that heavy receipts OF the
1914 crop are about to end. At the
same time the cables brought bui:iah
foreign news.
Corn prices changed but little dur
ing the week. December gained n
and May shade, but the decline OF
the previous weeks was checked. Fo--
eign news had considerable to do with
steadying the market although bad
weather part of the week tended TO
delay marketing of the crop.
Foreign demand for oats was heavy
this week and Offset liberal receipts.
Both months gained n during the
week.
Heavy hog receipts early in the
week started provision futures lawer
and though there was an advance lat
er in the week, the early loss was not
quite regained. Losses for lard AMI
short ribs amounted to less thai ID
cents.

Thursday morning mediators in
the Mexican situation announced that
the trouble between the United
States and Mexico, or between Will
son and Huerta. had been patched
up on terms which leaves matters
Just about where they were before.
Huerta did not salute the flag and
no demands are to be made upon
Mexico for trouble growing out of
the Mexican situation. Huerta has
saved himself when no other possible
course seemed in sight. Beyond that
nothing permanent has been accom-
plished and the warning factions
have been left to settle the difficulty
between themselves. It is sincerely
hoped that those who have been
on Mexico's behalf are the
sincere friends Of that sorely tried
country and will make an honest and
sincere attempt to get Mexico on it's
feet. The displeasing thing about
the Mexican situation is that the
Church has continually been the sub
iject Of attack as being responsible
for the ills Of Mexico and 1t seems
that anyone that has wanted to re-
port conditions In Mexico to the
American press would create some

Premier Asquith has out-maneuv-
cred the suffragettes. He has con-
sented to listen to their petition. BY
doing this the Premier has upheld
the right of petition so much watched
in England. If the women of Eng
land have been resorting to violence
in order to get hearing they now
have their chance, but the matter
does not end there. The Government
is not in favor of the suffragettes.
Hence it may follow that. having
listened to their cause with courtesy
he now is in the position of being
able to deal with severity with the
destroyers of property. His consent
to listen did not commit him to the
policy advocated; but having granted
them hearing he has the appearance
of being fair in their eyes. Thus the
Premier's yielding may be pure
strategy.

The high-minded ethical doctors of
international politics and policy.

their researches in delving into Pan
ANA Canal history. 1t was proposed
to pay Columbia $25,00O,000. We
paid Panama $10.000.0O0. but CO.
lumbia claimed prior rights to the
territory and made claim for remit
lance. Spain had rights prior to
either Columbia or Panama. Did any
one propose to make an award to the
original owner of this valuable terri
tory? But by some strange course OF
reason and ethics England is injected
into the consideration and our moral
obligations to Great Britain are at
once the paramount issue over
shadowing even the construction of
the canal itself. Meanwhile may we
expect to see these moral experts be-
come conscience smitten and ask
some heart balm for poor forsaken

thing of a story or obtain willing
readers by branding the Church as
being responsible for the ills in
Mexico. The Church in Mexico, like
the government in Mexico, has been
victim of the adventurer. Colleges
have been destroyed, Government
schools have openly taught infidelity,
religious orders of men and women
were abolished and members of re-
ligious orders in many cases were
not allowed to appear in public.
Such is the condition in country
where prejudice reigns and where it
is declared Catholic religion is re-
sponsible for conditions as they ex-.
list in that troubled country. 1t is
the earnest wish Of everyone inter-
ested in the welfare of Mexico that
warning factions will not be aided
and abetted by outside influence as
has been done in the past and that
those who attempt to gain religious
prominence will not do so at the ex-
pense Of teaching hatred of the Cath
Ollie Church in the hope of winning
or making converts, or that CONNER
cial influence will consider it to be
to the better interest of humanity
to extend peace rather than internal
strife. The delegates Of the Latin
American countries of South Ameri-
ca who have taken hand in bring
ing about peace in Mexico have the
interest of Mexico at heart. These
people, we believe, will, If unham-
pered by trivial matters or private
interests, bring order out of chaos
and permanent relief to this promis-
ing but neglected country.

some caustic remarks recently when
at the graduation exercises of Man

tives underlying the establishment

Some two years ago Baptist Col

The endowment was given under the

instance in one of the southern States

mean that education put upon this

prevail in the country and would
sever the UNCONVENTIONAL schools of

AN IMPIOUs MARTYR.

Sturgeon and his followers in
Denver were anxious that Spurgeon
should be considered a martyr. They
we're more than anxious that the
curse of Cain would be branded on
the brow of some citizens of Colo
RADIO. Not that either Spurgeon or
those of his ilk were ready to suffer
any supposed martyrdom. but they
we're intensely anxious to have their
cause dignified by some supposed
martyr. When the roughly handled
minister was grooming from his
bruises because of slanderous state
ments made against the Catholic
wives of Protestant husbands In Den
YER. he was very anxious to secure
some sympathy and avowed willing
ness to be a martyr to the cause.
Now he has set out with fiendish
vengeance to get even with the men
who flogged him for his vileness IN
Denver. His sanity attitude ana
visions of martyrs crown soon van
ished as his vigor returned and now
he is "at 'em" again. His frame OF
mind is we'll expressed in the little
couplet, when the devil was SICK
the devil a monk would be, but when
the devil got we'll the devil monk
was he."
The Courts of Denver were rather
critical about the evidence sub mttted
by the reverend" They refused to
indict the participants on the evil
dence presented. The rank and file
of people are sane on questions OF
public policy. The citizens OF Den
yer were very accommodating to this
blatant slanderer. He was looking
for trouble and he was Accommodated.
The Catholic attitude in the situa-
ton was very we'll expressed by
David Goldstein who was delivering
a lecture in Denver. During the lee
ture someone shouted out:
"Who mobbed Sturgeon" Cold
stein responded: "Some lawless citl-
zen of Denver! Let me tell you that
I have no sympathy for Mr.. Spur
geon. l believe he got just what ne
deserved good threshing. But
remember, Vengeance is mine, said
the Lord. No private citizens have
the right to mob a man, to k1dnap a
man, to abuse man, no matter what
are his opinions, or expressions or
opinions. The law ought to take care
of such a case. l believe there is law
enough to have put Mr.. Spurgeon IN
jail. But, remember this. the
Knights of Columbus is a liberty-lov-
ing and law-abiding body, and 1t
therefore repudiates the action OF
those men who assaulted Mr.. Spur
geon."
We commend the statement.

National Guard, who commanded
troop A and Company B during the
Ludlow battle, Is under court-mar-
tial on fifteen charges of murder.
Conviction on any count may cost
him his life. This trial has brought
out much interesting testimony.
Witnesses declaring that the strikers
had deliberately planned the battle
in order to kill a lieutenant whom
they hated, and the militia had or
ders not to fire until attacked. and
to cease firing as soon as the miners
guns were silenced. The troops fired
into the tents only after the miners
had begun to shoot from them; and
when the tents caught fire, the
militia went to the rescue of the
women and children, despite the fact
that the strikers continued to rain
bullets on them. A military surgeon
declared that the deaths of those
who sought safety in the pits was
due to excess of carbonic acid gas.
There are some gruesome details
about the death of one of the SOL
diers. The miners swept the spot
where he fell with bullets to keep the
surgeon off, and finally when the
victims wounded throat was dressed,
the bandage was torn away. On his
death a striker continued to send
bullets into his body. The Legisla-
ture, which was called into extra
session took action on the strike
providing for an issue of bonds to
the value of $1,0O0,00O to pay for
the work necessary to maintain or
der and restore confidence.
From this. past expenses, which
amount to $691,O00 must be paid.
A minority report of the Senate,
which was telegraphed to the Presi-
dent, declared that the acts of the
legislature would be sufficient to
meet exigencies in case the federal
troops were withdrawn. The Presi-
dent himself, who apparently had
been informed that the legislature
would take no action for the main
tenance of order, sent sharp re-
buke to the legislature through the
Governor. The last named replied
and satisfied the President that all
necessary action had been taken.
The final outcome will probably be
arbitration proceedings between
operators and miners, quite a use
less process unless both are deter
mined to order their lives in accord
ance with the strictest rules of gus
tice, if not charity.-America.

SPLIT IN IRISH GOVERNING
BOARD. /.

Clogher, Ireland.-The first meet
ing of the newly elected governing
board here was preceded by mill
tary demonstration and resulted in
a split between Unionist and Nation
alist members. There are sixteen
councillors of each party and when
the chairman was asked to decide a
tie divergency arose and this led to
the forming of two distinct boards,
one Unionist, the other Nationalist.
1t is likely that the matter will be
referred for legal decision at the
Fintona sessions and that an appeal
will be taken.

and Its motive analysed. To the un-
wary and the unexpected Carnegie's
teaching foundation is looked upon
as manifestation of iberality. The
vehemence with which it has been
denounced by Catholic and Protest
ant ministers make it plain that the
interest of the foundation is actuated
by motives by no means above sus-
picion. Secular education is an es-
tablished fact. Sectarian institutions
are firmly rooted. To dis
turb these elements. to decrease,
or to lower their standard would be
a loss to the country. Their energy,
their loyalty shown in their main
tenance proves that those who sup
port them are sufficiently interested
and patriotic to spend their sub
stance and do what they may for the
present and coming generations.
These institutions become part and
parcel of the government. To SUBJ
vert them is unpatriotic and to in
terfere with their teaching is ma
licious. Millions of high-minded
citizens. and not millions of dollars.
