WILL PROMULGATE
BUSINESS RULES
Cases of Alleged Unfair COmpe-
titiOn Brought before L. S.
Supreme Court.

Washington, Dee. 5.-More clearly de-
fined rules for competition in business
are to DO promulgated by the Supreme
Court. within the last few weeks the
court has directed lower tribunals 70 een5
up cases involving alleged unfair compe-
tition for decisions which are expected to
be second in importance only 70 the
courts antitrust rulings.
The law as to patents and trademarks
has been regarded as comparatively set
tied and but few cases involving the 10
main of unfair competition in business
have come before the court. The abb
sence Of definite rules in that sphere was
brought out in bold relief before the Su-
prcmc Court recently when a St. Louis
shoe firm complained that It's entire profit
from the manufacture and sale OF a GER
tam line of shoes for four years was
ABOUT tocbe turned over TO n Cincinnati
rival. The sum amounted almost to half
a million dollars.
The st. Louis firm had been guilty, ac-
cording to the lower courts. of putting out
a shoe with a name resembling that OF a
competitors shoe. That was alleged to
be unfair. For the purpose of argument
ness of the transaction but contended that
the amount Of its punishment should only
he the amount of business that It's rival
failed TO get by reason OF it's act. The
lower court held that was not a proper
rule for melting out the proper punish
m"nt, but that the erring company's en-
tire profit must he taken away. The
Supreme Court decided to review the
case.
Many business concerns are sa'd 10 be
anxious over the outcome Carelessness
in adopting trade names is said to threat-
en- them with loss OF all profits for many
years 4 rapid change of trade names
would probably follow decision affirm
ing the lower courts decision
Another case the court has decided 20
review involves the question of whether
a flour mill that unconsciously adopted
the same name for brand of -four as
used by another mill must turn its pro-
fits over to the mill first using the name
The point has arisen in the case of an
Illinois flour company that developed a
trade for a brand of -four in the south
eastern States only to have a deman
made in court that its business be con-
demned as unfair competition" because
an Ohio firm had for years used the
same name for flour in Ohio,

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

Archbishop Riordan, of San Fran
cisco, sums up the reasons for
Catholic schools by asking; why
do Catholics at great expense and
with many sacrifices erect and main
tain their own separate schools when
the public schools of the State are
free and open to them? Is It because
they are enemies of the public
schools? No. II is because the
public schools do not give US all that
we want. Catholics are not enemies
of the public schools. The public
schools belong to us as much as to
anybody else. We have evidence of
that when the tax collector comes
aroundl No, We are not enemies OF
the public schools, But we believe
that those schools do not go far
enough In educating our children.
We believe that children should be
trained not only to know the need
full things for this life. but also to
learn the things that are needful for
the life to come. This we feel is
the first essential of education" .

ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS.

With the passing of Dominick
Martin last Sunday morning Louis
Vile lost a respected citizen and a
man who safeguarded the faith for
more than three score years. DOM
mick Martin was familiar per-
sonage in the community, and until
ten years ago was with the Louisville
& Nashville railroad, discharging
his duties with fidelity and honor.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret
Martin; four daughters, Mrs. NJ. J..
Leamey, wife of Lieut.. Leamey, of
the Seventh police district; Mrs. Ed
ward Marshall and Misses Dell and
Kathryn Martin, all of this city, and
two sons, M. j. Martin, of Louisville,
and Don p. Martin, City Treasurer
Of Paducah. The funeral was held
Tuesday morning from st. Johns
church, when Rev. Father Schulz
mann preached a feeling sermon
and extolled the virtues of the de-
ceased.

SAVING THE YOUTH.

The efforts of public officials to
check the causes and occasions of
vice among the young is COM
mendable. Every legitimate effort
that looks to the eradication of
dangerous dance halls, Objectionable
moving pictures and suggestive bill
boards should be supported and
encouraged. While the State has a
duty to perform in this matter, it is
well that parents do not forget their
more fundamental duty. Their re-
sponsibility comes first. If parents
will look carefully after the amuse-
ments and company of children. If
they will prudently dictate the hours
of their evening pleasures, the work
of the public officer will be far
more effective. Vigilance in the
home is the best safeguard for boys
and girls. 1t is here the real crusade
against vice must begin. If all that
is possible be done in the home the
dangers of the outside will do little
harm. When the home life is not
what it should be the outside influ-
ence for good can accomplish moth
ing. It takes a miracle of Gods
grace to save the boy or girl whose
parents are unmindful of their
tremendous responsibilities.

MEXICAN OUTRAGEs.

II is the humble opinion of the
Catholic Union and Times that there
have been American administrations
which would not tolerate the out
RACES that have been perpetrated
against Catholic priests and Sisters
in Mexico. The dispatches state that
these religious we're driven to take
refuge under the American flag at
Vera Cruz as q result of the out
RACES committed upon them and the
properties of their orders during the
fighting of the last six months.
To be sure these people are not
American citizens, but they are
human beings deserving of courteous
treatment, II nothing else. The
State Department, however, feels
that 1t can do nothing for them. II
can not as much as write to the
murderous Mexican officials express
ing indignation at the scandalous
manner in which they have treated
the priests and teachers who have
done more to enlighten and civilize
Mexico than any other class of
people. Mexico is in a sad state.
Under the new regime most of the
schools, converts and other institu-
tions in which the refugees taught
will not be permitted to reopen by
the new Mexican Government.
"Watchful waiting" has not brought
peace, nor will it SO long as high
waymen and red-handed revolution
lists undertake to operate the Govern
ment.

over the problem will again arise in
all it's meaning and consequences.
How to preserve peace is the mo-
mentous question that Is ever facing
the countries of Europe. Attempts
u maintain the balance of power, at
tempts to preserve peace by prepar-
ing for war, by secret treaties, by in
termarriages, and every other inven-
ton of diplomats, have failed and
failed disastrously, and the conse-
quences are beyond enumeration.
So long as national pride and power
is sought to be mingled with racial
prejudice and hatred and CONNER
cial interest brought forward to
make up any deficiency which might
otherwise be lacking in a cause for
war, Europe will be confronted with
war, as it always has been. An in
stitution like the Papacy is the only
institution that could make any
permanent move toward placing
Europe upon a peace basis, the rea-
son being that the Papacy is repre-
scented in every nation through its
priests, bishops, nuns and laymen.
The interest and influence of the
Papacy in every country in Europe
would make more for peace than has
Vet hpan done nv all of EurODe'S
diplomacy. The Pope enjoys an in
ternational position. The Papacy is
itself world power. 1t could have
no special interest in one country
that il would not have in another.
II would not be to the interest of the
Papacy to set the armies of one Cath
Ollie priest and bishop against the
armies of another priest and bishop.
Neither could the Papacy have an
interest in the inconsistent spectacle
Of the bishops and priests of differ
ent countries praying for the success
OF the armies in which they are in
terested. The Pope as the arbitrator
of peace in Europe would go long
way toward establishing Christian
brotherhood and respect among the
present warning nations and at the
same time be the best guarantee Of
peace throughout these otherwise
ar-disposed countries.

INTERESTING CONVENTION.

An item in an Eastern paper the
other day chronicled the ordination
to the priesthood Of Jesuit, Rev
Louis Young, and the information
was added that he was grand
nephew of the late Rev. Josue NJ
Young Bishop of Erie. Reading the
item started a train of thought OF
the old days. Bishop Young was
born in the little hamlet of Shap-
leigh. York county. Maine, close to
the New Hampshire line, of Puritan
parents-old time Congregational
lists. and became a convert, 1t is said,
through his setting in type-for he
was a printer by trade-some Cath
Ollie manuscript.
