THE

The Democratic party Is prone to
place the blame for the conditions on
the European war. A few figures may
hedp. In the first nine months OF
1913 the earnings Of the steel and
iron mills were 100000,
with no war. In the first part
of 1914 their earnings mac fallen on,
over sec, 900, 900. This is differ
ence too big for me to comprehend.
Take the Independent Steel Company
of Pittsburg, with all duty removed.
On June. 80 it was paying its stock
holders only 2 per cent. on the tcap1-,
tai invested. The Inalnd steel Com
pany of Chicago, with all their own
mills. their dividends were reduced
from ga per cent. to per cent.
per annum.
The Cleyelanc Cliff iron Company
passed its dividend the Wheeling
Steel and Iron company passed It's
dividend, the Western Iron Company
passed its dividend. The Cambria
Iron Company, a monster concern, for
the last eight months, six of them be-
fore the war, issued script for its div
idends, and Informed the stockhotd-i
ers that they might get the money
rom them out Of the banks. The.
coal business for this year is the
worst that has ever been known.
When see what is going on, and
the contrast with the Republicans. 1t
makes me sick think OF
the men who are out of jobs owing to
the depression am interested in a
concern that manufactures steel rails.
and it was necessary for the stock
holders to advance so per cent. on
their holdings In order to hold the
company together. Within the
past few days nave learned that the
lessner Company, the
wheeling Ccrrugating Company, has
declared 10 per cent. reduction on
all its salaried employees.

Rem Dapal 5erretarp of State
SIS Gxperienceb Diplomatist
Cardinal Ferrata Regarded Splendidly Fitted for
Place-Has Been Nuncio at Paris

NEW YORK, September 5.-Cardinal
Domenico Ferrata. secretary of the con-
gregation Of the holy office. whom the
new Pope Benedict XIV has appointed sec
rotary of state, is regarded as the men,
Der of the Sacred College best fitted to
occupy this office, second only In impor-
lance and influence to that of the papacy
| itself just at this time, because of the
heavy burden resting upon the Vatican
due to the war. He succeeds Cardinal
Merry Del Val, secretary under Pope
Plus x.
Cardinal Ferrata has had a diplomatic
influence such as comes to few of the
| college of cardinals. He has had excep-
| tional experience in ecclesiastical mat
| tiers, and he has always manifested a
friendly disposition toward the leading
statesmen of Italy and the reigning house
of Savoy. His choice of secretary is most
pleasing to the Italian government, and
1t is prophesied he may do much to heal
the breach between it and the Vatican.
The new secretary was for six years
papal nuncio at Paris; and his stay there
was signalized not merely by suspension
Of the hostiiities of the French govern
ment against what is denounced as cleri-.
calism, but even by sort of friendly
understanding between the republic and
the papacy.
It is the general belief that If Cardinal
Ferrata had remained as nuncio at Paris
and if he had later been appointed secre-
tary Of state the concordant would be in
existence to this day and that the Roman
Catholic Church in France would never
have been disestablished.
In short. it is the opinion that the French
government would never have gone to the
extremes which led to the rupture of all
official parties between the papacv and
the French republic and the beginning OF
a state of open warfare between them.
These attributes of Cardinal Ferrata
are regarded as most essential because
the war has already caused a suspension
of the customary gifts of Peters pence,
which go toward the support of the Pope
and the administration of the church gov

Why pray? Because God wants to

the needs of men and the power of God,
between the child in want and the Father
with plenty. 1t is a tie of love, insuring
close fellowship. For. alter all, what

As we cannot doubt the projections of
God and His government, the fault is
with US If we do not have greater trust,
loyalty and devotion for His beneticent
reign than We have for the defective syS-
TENS and laws Of men.
Is 1t not better to put our trust and
center our hopes in that which is perma-
nent and perfect?
The k<gs of earth die and are forgot
ten; their. memory perishes from among
men. The kingdoms and empires of earth
crumble and fall away and the passing
ages obliterate all traces of their boosted
glory: yet in all the cycles of time God
reigns and His government stands in un-
diminished and untarnished splendor.
Why should we not wait upon the Lord
and be of good courage?
There is no reason for being faint
hearted. but every reason for our hearts
to be strengthened.
There need be no lack of good courage.
The resources of God are inexhaustible
and all that is needed is freely given to
those who with faithful and courageous
hearts wait upon Him.
Times of trouble. hours of darkness will
come for in all our lives there is shad-
ow as well as sunshine. But even in the
day Of greatest trial there is reason tc
be Of good courage. The hardships OF
life when borne courageously are means
by which the richest rewards are secured

to be sheltered. The best gifts and graces
