SOCIALIST PAPERS REVEAL Att.
TUDE TOWARD ORGANIZED
LABOR.
Declare Berger Was "only Working
Glass Representative" In Sixty.
Second Congress.
Fourteen Other Union Card Men in
House and Senate at That Time.

With true Socialistic effrontery, the
New York Call, in its issue of October
18th, declares that Victor Berger of
Wisconsin, the Socialist congressman,
was the "only working class represent
alive in Washington" during the first
session of the Sixty-second congress.
Gas the only working class represent
alive in Washington" it declares in
an article quoted from the Appeal to
Reason, another well-known Socialist
organ, Berger was in receipt of a
tremendous mail, not only from Social.
lists but also from unions and workers
in general" 1T is doubtful" it con-
tinues in the same vein, eff there ever
was a congressman who did as much
for the workers, or who provoked as
much agitation by his measures as
did he. And this was not so because
it was Berger as it was because he
was Socialist. Twenty like him
would have made more than twenty
times as much agitation and been able
to do more than twenty times as much
service for the working Glass;" In
the October goth issue of the Call,
Berger himself in an article says:
There is only one thing left for the
working class and for the common
people in general. That is to send So
cialists to congress in order that the
voice Of labor may be heard in the
national legislature of our country"
And in the issue of October Oath, the
call editorially remarks: en- Colo
RADIO, West Virginia, Calumet and
other places the employers worked
their own sweet will, because there
was no voice raised in the legislative
halls of the nation against them"
AS matter of fact, according to a
communication from Secretary Morri-
son of the American Federation of
Labor, there we're in the first session
of the Sixty-second congress, in add.
ton to Berger, fourteen union card
men-W. B. Wilson, miner, of Penn.

ert E. Lee, blacksmith, Pennsylvania;
John A. Martin, locomotive fireman,
Colorado; VIM. ]. Cary, commercial
telegrapher, Wisconsin; VIM. Hughes,

In other words, the governors have
realized the words of the great Cath
olic pope, who said: The foremost
duty, therefore, of the rulers of the
state should be, to make sure that
the laws and institutions, the general
character and administration of the
commonwealth, shall be such as of
themselves, to realize public we'll
being and private prosperity. The
state must not absorb the individual or
the family; both should be allowed
free and untrammelled action so far
as is consistent with common good and
the interests of Others"
The underlying real causes of pres.
ent problems were apparent to the ma.
jority of the executives; Said Cover
nor O'Neal: "There has been an
alarming increase of tenant farming
during the last decade, an increase, as
shown by the last census. Absentee
landlordism is annually becoming
more and more a menace to our agri.
cultural progress and gradually sap.
ping the foundation of rural prosperity.
IF we would check the drift of our
rural population to the cities; if we
would encourage the movement of
back to the FARM if we would re-
move the menace of absentee landlord.
ism and encourage the purchase of
farms by tenants and men of small
means; if we would increase agricul-
tural production and secure cultivation
of the large area of waste, unproduc-
tive lands in the country, we must
extend to the farmer the same facul-
ties for credit now enjoyed by our
commercial classes
The western governors deplored the
fact that the federal ownership of
lands in their states is checking the
development by unfair discrimination.
The eastern governors deplore the
fact that in spite of the existence of
labor laws, the laboring man is not re.
ceiving his just dues. Capitalism
thrives on bureacracy," was the almost
unanimous comment.
The northern governors denounced
the un-American, the un-patriotic in.
roads of Socialism, and other kindred
ills of society.
The southern governors decried the
partisan domination, the political
Vaccinations of selfish and unscrupul-
GUS individuals and associations.
This analysis of the ills of society
has approached semblance of sanity.
The governors through their expert
ence, or that of their predecessors,
are beginning to base their actions,
and that of their states on principles of
justice and charity. The materialistic
and "bank-credit" reasoning, which in
the past has guided their actions, and
that Of their states, is seemingly
changing. The present situation is in
deed far from perfect, nor highly desir-
able. 1t is a change for the better,
however, change that needs encour-
agement and . commentator. And
therefore the 1914 conference of gov.
errors is notable one. Its character,
it's resolution, and it's ideals are worthy
of respect and admiration.

Catholic and Non.cathoIie Insurance

Satnouc ana Non.CathoIic Insurance..
Mr.. F. w. Heckenkamp Jr, of.
Quincy, ILL.,, supreme president of the
Western Catholic Union, one of the.
speakers at the Convention of the Ma
tional Federation of Catholic Societies:
in Baltimore in the Insurance Confer.
ence, spoke of life insurance as one of
the great economic questions of the,
day, and of the wonderful progress of
the Catholic fraternals in the late.
years. He said that what used to be a.
conglomerated mass of societies that:
pretended to do lot of business,
missed the mark in most cases in what.
they were charging the members in Or
der to keep up the payments and, from
that point of view, fell into bad repute.
A carefully prepared estimate which r
made few years ago, based upon the,
census of the United States and the
Catholic directory, showed that over
three hundred thousand Catholic men
and women were insured in non.Cath-
Ole societies in the United States
Naturally the question would arise as
to what caused them to go into those
societies in preference to Catholic So
ciet1es. I could attribute this to one
OF two reasons. One was that the non
Catholic societies offered attractions
which were not offered by the Cath
Ollie societies. The principal reason. to-
my mind, was that the non-Catholics
got ahead of us and pre-emptied the
field where no Catholic societies was
operated. The reason the Catholic So
cieties did not operate in many places
was not their own fault or due to their
own negligence so much as to causes
that were beyond their control.
Certainly the question of assessment
rates is before the Catholic society
just as we'll as before the non-C Catholic
society. If it is right and fair and
honest for the fraternal society to pro-
vide for what is necessary to meet it's
obligations, it is doubly necessary for
Catholic organization to do this. We
should be the first to lead in that direc.
ton. This, again, believe, presents
field for social service, because the
insurance end Of society, Catholic
or non.Catholic, is a cold business
proposition.

GIVES TO PRIEST POORER THAN
HIMSELF,

Father Raymond VernimOnt, al
though poor mission priest, recently
sent donation for the missions of
Father Bernard, the parish priest of
the North Pole, who is seeking funds
through the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society to carry on his work in
the frozen north. This donation, al
though it was only a dollar, and the
society receives many, many times
that for it's missionaries every day,
created tender feeling toward the
priest. It is on account of such dona-
tions as this, made by great sacrifice,
that the large sums come in with
which to enable the mission priests to
continue their great work of bringing
the American people into the church.
Here is Father Vernimont's letter.
Enclosed please find dollar for
Rev. Joseph Bernard, S. j., whose
needs and appeals are found on page
seven of the September issue of the
Extension Magazine. What fine in
vestment in heavenly bonds one would
make in founding such mission!
Words Of the noble missionary there
no doubt will appeal to all who read
them. Suppose each reader sends in
fifty cents, more than $4,000, the
amount needed, would be received.
Dear reader, which will please you
best at the hour of death-to have
eater we'll, slept well, dressed after
the style of the giddy, carried dia-
monds, or helped Rev. Joseph Bernard,
S. j., who suffers hunger and cold in
order to serve the poor neglected Eski-
mo? Decide now to help him.
yours for Eskimos,
REV. RAYMOND VERN1MONT."
Father Vernimont, being a mission
airy has the real missionary spirit,
which is the spirit advocated in the
Gospel, where we are advised to cast
our bread upon the waters, and after
many days we are told it will come
back to us. Father Vernimont is
right. Father Joseph Bernard has suf-
fered all kinds of hardships-cold,
hunger, the bitter cold and hunger,
too, of the heart when he sees Protest
ant sects furnish their missionaries
with money to erect chapel. For his
territory on the Kobuk river is ripe
for church and, as Father Bernard
says, the first church to erect a
chapel will have the people. Father
Bernard is spending his life for these
people. Will you help him succeed in
his mission? Any donations sent to

ciety, whose offices are located in the
Mccormick building, Chicago. will be
gladly forwarded to him. Decide now
to help this missionary propagate the
faith of Christ among the Eskimos.

That the Catholic church has ever
at heart the interest of the working.
man is further evidenced by the &C.
ton of Pope Benedict the Fifteenth,
in encouraging the Italian Catholic So
cieties. The societies represent all
classes Of Catholic opinion in Italy
and it was the earnest desire of the
late Pope Plus to encourage the
growth and foster the union of Cath
Ollie sentiment throughout Italy. The
idea to make Catholic unions in Italy
more representative is the aim of
Pope Benedict the Fifteenth. 1t is
evident on every hand that unity of
Catholic opinion in Italy is fairly on
the way and that the growth of Cath.
Ollie unions will prove one of the most
effective means of Kidding Italy of
such scoundrels as Nathan and those
who support the anti Catholic regime.

Boys Fun Costs S10O

John Dickerson and Frank Robin
son, two American Fork youths, are
wiser by 500 than they were ten days
ago. Guy Frampton operates the mo-
ton picture machine for Clarks
Opera House, and to get ventilation,
leaves the window of his operating
doing SO. Thursday night while turn
ing of the last reel, the youths refer
red to, threw lighted cigar from the
side walk up into the operating room.
Frampton kicked 1t out. when they
threw II In again. This time II lit In
a box containing thousand feet of
infamable picture films. Instantly
the box was ablaze and the few re-
naming people in the Opera House
rushed out thinking the place afire.
Frampton grabbed the blazing films
with his hand, threw II on the floor
and kicked II out of the open window
onto the side walk In doing so he
saved the other reels. but received
some bad burns on his hands and
arms.
The boys were nabbed by the City
Marshal before they could get away
Before being released, the boys gave
Mr.. Clark what money they had which,
with some notes they signed repre-
sented a total of 500. or $50 each
This was the value OF the film.
