THE EFFECT OF SALOONS ON
TRADE.

The Dry Goods Economist has late
ly been looking the matter up and
comes to the conclusion that the dry
goods business at least does not suf-
fer in dry town. 1t took Rock
ford, ILL.,, with $4,000 inhabitants, a
large percentage of them foreign born,
as good example in which to make
tests. Every dry goods dealer visited
by it's representative said that he had
no desire to have the town go back
to license. They did not believe that
the saloons drew any business into
the city that helped them, and those
who went out of town on Saturday
nights to get liquor denied them at
home were, they thought, fellows with
the least money to spend. The report
er of the Economist asked a drum
mer how his business was affected in
Rockford by prohibition. He said that
of his 20 regular customers 27 were
satisfied to have things continue dry.
eve are not sure but the dry goods
business is exceptional in this respect"
comments the Waterbury American.
so the other kinds of business might
be affected differently, though we are
inclined to doubt it. Probably they
will be polled as time goes on. 1t is
plain enough that in cities like Water
bury there are at least twice or thrice
as many saloons as are needed and
that general business is not profited
by their existence"

ton as the result of the indignities
heaped upon them by the follow
ers of Carranza and Villa. If the
leaders of any sect in any part of
the world were treated with one
half the indignity to which priests
and religious have been subjected
in Mexico, the people of this coun-
try would raise such a storm of
protest that the. authors of the
persecution would not dare to con-
tinue their nefarious work. And
yet Mexican Catholics must con-
tinue to endure untold sufferings
without our raising a hand to help
them! Why this indifference on
the part of the United States? Is
religion a determining factor?
President Wilson has asked us
to pray for peace in Europe. Why
does he not return his eyes to our
sister Republic and ask that
prayers be offered for peace in
Mexico? The present condition
of laWlessness was brought about
as a result of intervention on the
part of the United States, in the
internal affairs Of Mexico. What
ever Huerta s political faults may
have been, he was in favor Of law
and order and those who know the
situation in Mexico declare that
he was the only one capable of
giving that country a stable gov
eminent. He was removed by the
American Government acting on
information furnished by "per-
sonal representatives" who con
sorted with his enemies and who
knew no more about Mexican af-
fairs than they could learn from
bellboys and kitchen maids. I'm
der the circumstances, we are JUS
titled in looking to President Will
son to protect the lives and rights
Of Catholics in Mexico and if he
fail to do this, the Catholics Of
the United States will hold him
responsible.

ALCOHOL HAS NO VALUE.

''In the opinion of many of our
greatest doctors, it has practically no
value. The great weight of science
leads to the conclusion that it is an
unmitigated evil.
Every intelligent man knows thai
it is ten thousand times more de-
structive than war, that it has no food
value, that it causes more crime than
all other agencies combined, that it
defies nature, curses God; that it
lowers vitality, invites disease; that
it's deadly breath blows out the mental
fame from one of every four that sit
in mental darkness; that not satisfied
with blighting hopes, damning souls, 1t
shoots the forked lightning of it's
blasting cursedness beyond life as it
lives, into the future and takes it's
awful toll of progeny even to the
fourth and fifth generation. 1t is
more to be dreaded than mad dog.
On every occasion it should be booted
and the boot thrown away.
1T is about, il not already. to be
eliminated from the pharmacopoeia."

the many embassies on which he was
sent to Germany and England in con.

butchery which they are now car
rying on? Yes, John knows-a
lot of things that are not so about
Mexico. One would think that a
man who gained such unenviable
notoriety as a result of his stay in
Mexico would have the decency to
continue forever the policy of
silence Of which he was said to be

well were defacing III England
and in Ireland every beautiful
memorial of the old faith in Christ
and Of man s love for Him.
A man who poses as a teacher
OF his generation ought to be
aware, at least, of the broad re-
suits of historical investigation.
He ought to have read the popular
tracts of Carlyle, Ruskin, and
Cobbett. If he be. an American
he ought to have read DR.. Walsh s
Thirteenth, Greatest Of Cen
turtles. !" He ought to know few
things about Dante, Michelangelo,
and Andrea del Sarto; he ought
to take a keen interest in the story
of the medieval Italian republics
and all they did for human prog
ress along every line. He ought
to know that Duns Scotus and st.
Thomas Aquinas were quite
familiar with all and more than
all the puzzles of human thought,
the mere statement Of which, with
out an attempt at solution, has
made the reputation Of modern
philosophers from Kant to
Haeckel and James and Spencer.
The word Louvain ought to
have reminded DR.. Crane Of the
great work which was being done
in that medieval" institution,
the Catholic University Of Lou
vain,-the coordination of the re-
suits obtained in the laboratory
with the conclusions Of the deep
est and keenest thinking, and the
reasonable and sensible subordina-
ton of all to the revealed word of
God. This work can never be
done outside the Catholic Church.
DR.. Crane mentioned duelling
without pointing out that about
the only place on earth where it
persists to the present is in the
universities Of Germany. He also
talks about the trial by fire, for
getting the witch mania of the
Puritans of New England. These
things are medieval in the sense
that they occur. between the day
time of the Ages Of Faith and the
dawn of the new day when men
will seek truth and fact instead
Of the fiction Of the sectarian
pamphleteer.
Several Catholic writer's have
recently expressed surprise at the
persistence of the inveterate habit
Of using the word medieval, :"
with a connotation of disparage-
ment and contempt. Even non
Catholics like Chesterton, Sir
Francis Palgrave and many an
other, have protested against the
bitterness, the shabbiness, the
habitual disregard Of honor and
veracity which have made of
modern accounts of the Middle
Ages vast conspiracy against
the truth. The plain fact is that
men owe it to their own reputa-
ton for culture and ordinary good
manners, to know at least the ele-
ments Of the subject about which
they write, and to use words with
a certain amount of perception of
their meaning and Of the justice
Of their applications. 1t is to be
regretted that the somewhat pom
derous editorials of DR.. Crane
should have their questionable
worth diminished by carelessness
about elementary matters Of COM
mon knowledge among educated
people.

Rev. George f. Reed, pastor of

triotic" protests they would have
given vent to if DR.. Reed were a
Catholic priest! How they would
howl about the union of church

Minnesota's Natural Resources.

The prosperity of state depends
not upon the richness of its natural
resources, but upon their proper use.
Minnesota has within it's borders three
industries which are at the very base
Of life and civilization, industries
which are concerned with the produc-
ton of food, wood, and iron. The
last of these may some day come to
an end, but the other two, properly
conducted, will last as long as the
present order of nature is unchanged.
1t may be said that Minnesota is
only at the beginning of her forest
policy, but with the establishment of
the forestry board in 1911, a real be-
ginning was made, and from that time,
the people have been learning to ap-
preciate how great an asset to the
state the forests are. Now the time
has come for them, by voting for the
adoption of amendment No. 9, to take
another step in advance and help their
state to attain the high rank to which
she is entitled by reason of the pro-
gressiveness of her citizens and the
richness of her resources.

UTTERLY MEDIEVAL.

DR.. Cranes editorial published
in the st. Paul Dispatch of Octo-
Der II, contains the following
statement: "The idea that justice
can be ground out Of the battle
mill is on level with duelling
and trial by fire. Utterly medic
vail"
Oliver Wendell Holmes says
that there are certain expressions
which locate a man intellectually
and socially. The word medic
VAL as used by DR.. Crane will not
enhance his reputation for up-to-
date scholarship and culture. His
editorials, as a rule, leave the i'm
preston that he is one Of that
numerous class which is ready to
60 into Mysteries over the destruc-
ton Of Louvain and of Rheims,
even when his information was
derived solely from partisan
sources. This class of people for
get that Louvain and Rheims are
medieval :" and the ruin Of them
would be the latest achievement
of muscular Christianity as i'm
proved and modernized by all the
resources Of science and inspired
by untrammeled free thought.
The Reverend DIR. Maitland, an
English Protestant scholar, who
had gone back Of the popular
pamphlets of Professionalism and
tried to find the facts Of history
in the original sources, wrote a
book which he facetiously called
"The Dark Ages" wherein he
showed that there was pretty con-
siderable light in those times In
the Introduction to that work he
made the following remarks:
"The age during which West
minister Abbey was built cannot
have been architecturally blank.
The men who built up the scholas-
tic system cannot have been
wholly Indifferent to intellec-
tual culture. The men who died
in myriads OH the plains of Syria
to rescue the Holy Sepulchre can
hardly have been devoid of love
of Him Who was laid there"
Several other students of his
tory who have refused to bow
down under the dead weight Of
the Protestant tradition-men
like Matthew Arnold, John Rus
kin, Roscoe, and Carlyle-have
found other facts staring them in
the face which made them revise
the notions they had imbibed as
part of their religious knowledge
about the Middle Ages.
| The mere rumor that LOuvain
and Rheims had been injured by
war made every civilized man
shudder with horror; the grandest
and finest achievements of the
mind of man in danger Of ruin
appealed irresistibly to all gentle
and lofty souls. True it is that
the protests of the cultured few
were intermingled with the uproar
| Of many impostors who wanted to
be in good company for once in
their lives, and who are quite
ready to stand in speechless emo
ton before the latest atrocity of
! our own up-to-date artists, if only
some conceited professor will give
the lead.
But, Notwithstanding the char
latans and the political pam
phleteers, Rheims and Louvain
stand for something real, some
thing noble and beautiful. They
stand for the noblest effort which
man has made to express his love
and reverence for God. They are
. the fnest>expression of the loftiest
[ ideas and the purest emotions OF
:. the human soul. And they were
, achieved during the medieval
!. epoch, or at all events, under the

The eastern states realize how val

have bought large areas to devote to
forestry purposes. The state forests
of New York cover 100000 acres
and those Of Pennsylvania nearly
100000 acres. Some of these lands
were re-bought by the states. The

forest lands. Let the people of Min

lands are sold, there is no doubt that
they will be bought back again by
