A Letter Highly Complimentary to
The Republican.
To the Editor of The Renub!ican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
DEAR SIR want to congratulate
YOU for the position you took in the late
campaign for mo saloons" in Garrett
county. and for the attitude you have
always taken in your journal on the
temperance question. | have been a
constant reader of The Republican
since 1881. Your paper has always
stood for clean politics, civic righteous
ness and purity Of life, for the better
ment Of the human race, and for the
elevation and uplift of mankind.
| am proud to know that my native
county stands for temperance with
such an overwhelming majority, almost
unprecedented. Out of nearly 5000
voters only about 500 would register in
favor of King Alcohol. Prosperity to
the citizens as a whole is sure TO be the
result OF the election.
If California would have had but a
half dozen editors who would have had
the moral courage, stamina and back
bone that you had, and would have
given the Estate wide prohibition
campaign through their daily journals
the support that it ought to have had,
we would be in the column of prohib-
ton states today. But the fight is not
over 10 California. Soon another battle
will be on and we will win.
We shudder at the great destruction
of human life in Europe today, but we
forget, sometimes, that King Alcohol is
responsible for killing nearly one hun
dred thousand annually, also RESPONSE
BILE, according to noted jurists, for
about rs per cent. of the crimes COM
mltted, to say nothing of the terrible
sorrow, suffering and disease it places
upon humanity.
May you always be successful is the
wish of your subscriber. With best
wishes and kind regards,
Yours very truly,
A. F. SPEICHER.

Knights of Pytbias.

Colonel Houriet is arranging with
local ''Dokies' for the institution of a
Cemple of the Dramatic Order Knights
of Khorassan at Terra Alta, which is to
occur on the night of Saturday, Deem
Der II. The new temple will be institut-
es by the degree team of Tau Temple
No. 1863, of Wheeling, W. Va. under
the supervision of Colonel Houriet.
Among prominent Pythians who have
signifed their intention of being present
are Col John P. Arbenz, of Wheeling,
grand chancellor of the domain of West
Virginia; Attorney w. Frank Stout, of
Clarksburg, past grand chancellor;
Judge James W. Robinson, also of
Clarksburg. grand inner guard, and
Hon. Sam B. Montgomery, of King
wood. Governor H. D. Hatfield and
Congressman NJ. NJ. Nicely and Will
liam G. Brown, Jr., have been invited
and may be present,
The new Terra Alta temple will be
the fourth in the state, the other three
being located at Clarksburg, Charleston
and Wheeling. 1t is doubtful if per-
mits will be granted for the institution
of any others, for some time at least.

INTERESTS CATHOLICS.

The thirty-fourth annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor will be held in Philadelphia,
beginning November 8, and will
continue in session from day to day
until the business of the convention
has been completed. This conven-
ton has grown to such proportions
in both size and importance that it
commands the respect and attention
of the entire nation. Delegates
from labor unions attending its ses-
sions come from every part of the
United States, and thus in point OF
numbers it is one of the largest
conventions that meets annually.
This year the convention will again
consider many important subjects,
among which are the necessity to
strive to bring about more effect
ually than ever a better day in the
lives and homes of the toilers, and
to defend the rights of organizations
as we'll as the rights of the indi-
vidual and family. The American
Federation of Catholic Societies has
been represented for a number of
years by fraternal delegates. This
year the federation will be repre-
sented by the Rev. Peter e. Dietz,
of Milwaukee, and Walter George
Smith, of Philadelphia. The dele
gates at the convention will also be
invited to the services at the Cathe-
dral, where the Most Rev. Edmond
F. Prendergast, Archbishop of
Philadelphia, will welcome the dele
gates on behalf of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies and
the Catholics of Philadelphia. A
sermon appropriate to the occasion
and expressing the friendly attitude
of the church toward labor will be
preached by some prominent mem
Der of the clergy. The convention
is therefore of great interest to the
Catholics of the United States as
well as to the workingmen, for the
church realizes and feels the i'm
portance and dignity of labor and
its rights and privileges.

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

Unemployment in various phases
forced itself upon public attention
more than usual last winter. This
winter 1t threatens to be an even
more pressing problem. The need
of an efficient employment bureau,
as a go-between for employer and
employee, was never greater than
now. The private. agencies have
out-lived their usefulness and in
many cases are a source of injury to
the community. Different cities
have established free employment
agencies, as well as several States,
notably Wisconsin. At present the
United States Commission on Indus
trial Relations is proposing plan
of a national system of labor ex-
changes which would require every
employment agent to file a schedule
of fees and charges for positions,
while a State system of labor ex-
change in cooperation with the
municipalities and if possible with
the Federal Government is the de.
sideratum. The buying and selling
of labor power is a most important
duty of society, and therefore
should receive the much needed
attention of the public.

SENATOR ROOFS ADVICE.

Senator Roots advice to the
American Bar Association was to
reduce the making of so many
laws, and is founded upon his
common sense as a practical man
and a trained lawyer. This is,
however, not merely the attitude Of
Mr.. Root, but that of countless other
men Of the United States. If there
is ever to be a substantial improve
ment in the quality and above all
the certainty of our legislation it
must be by following Just this ad-
vice. During the years 1909 to
1914 our National and State Legis-
latures passed 62,O14 statutes,
while the decisions of the courts Of
last resort necessitated by these
laws were reported in $50 volumesl
This seems to corroborate the i'm
preston that the remedy for almost
everything is to pass a new law. II
is not merely a tendency of the
present Government to interfere
more and more with the affairs of
the private. individual. but to inn
pose the paternalistic duties upon
our State Legislatures and Con-
gress. Social legislation of every
kind seems to be the passion of our
legislators. Social legislation is the
demand OF different parties and
different creeds. The high cost OF
living also is receiving attention,
and Investigations are made and
reduction of taxes are demanded.
But social legislation and the hir'
cost OF living are not differen-
tiated; II is not understood that the
latter is resultant OF the former,
Neither is 1t recognized that the
paternalism is detrimental to our
Individual privileges. and that this
State interference is subversive OF
all human rights. Neither is sena-
tor Root entirely In the right when
he demands a cessation OF such
legislation on the ground of admin
istration and efficiency. Senator
Root, a. we'll as those demanding
"cure-all" legislation. forget that

SUPPOSE.

Suppose that few Catholics were
to inaugurate a campaign of pro-
scription against candidates who
were not of their faith. Suppose
they we're to resort to anonymous
pamphlets and malicious screeds to
excite religious prejudice. Would
they not be denounced and
pilloried-even by their fellow
Catholics-for their crime against
American citizenship? There is no
difference in the crime when the
religious issue in politics is raised
by others. Those who raise it are
the worst foes of Americanism. They
would nullify the first principle of
American liberty.

WHO is TO BLAME.

1t is useless. the True Voice says,
to speculate on what might have
been done Ahad the duty of dealing
with the situation in Mexico fallen
upon another recommendation than
that Of President Wilson. The x<ct
is that the President and his secre
tary Of State undertook to get rid
of Huerta contrary to the advice of
our diplomatic representative in
Mexico City. They entered de-
liberately upon a policy that has
brought anarchy upon our neigh
boring republic. They can not avoid
the consequences for that policy
now. II is useless to plead that they
meant well. that is not the ques-
ton. The point is that they de-
aided and abetted the very
men who have plunged Mexico into
. condition that shames civilization.
And for that the Wilson administra-
Hon can not escape responsibility

PERNICIOUs LITERATURE.

The following is clipped from a
Catholic contemporary and is espe-
cially applicable to the present
situation in the large railroad shops
and factories in this city, where the
Menace is distributed freely:
"A favorite spot for the planting
of anti-Catholic prejudice is the big
city plant that employs hundreds of
men. These men are reached con-
stantly by the nasty printed sheets
that are dropping down on them
week after week right through the
year. II is morally impossible for
these men not to conceive hatred
for the Catholic church. They may
be unbiased at the start of the cam
paign, but the persistent rain of lies
wears away the fairness that is in
them, and opens up a CHASTITY hole
for the fumes of prejudice to rise
through"

The results OF this policy OF our
Government are deplorable enough.
Today Mexico is at the mercy Of
bandits who care as little for human
life, for religion, OF for property
rights as does the wild beast Of the
jungle. Murder and rapine and
sacrilege are the ordinary occur
rences down there every day. There
is no longer any semblance OF
orderly government. But then, we
are told, that these things might
have happened under Huerta, tool
That is no justification of them
now; nor is II any justification Of
the policy that led directly to this
horrible condition Of affairs in
Mexico. Political expediency Is a
poor excuse for denial Of justice. It
is so palpably unfair that no one
can be deceived by 1t unless he
wishes to be deceived. An uncom-
promising stand for the right is
expected from those in high office,
and any trimming or counting of
favor at the expense of justice is
not to be thought Of by high-minded
men. We fear that President Will
son would have reason to be dis
pleased with the excuses offered for
his policy toward Mexico and for
its results. We do not think that
he wants to shirk responsibility for
his own acts.

SOME SUCH HERE.

Men who are traitors to the con-
stitution are unworthy any decent
citizens respect or confidence
politically. Men who would strike
out the liberty of conscience provis-
ion from the peoples charter OF
freedom are enemies of the repub-
lie. Men who flirt or barter with
such traitorous bodies as the Guard
ians of Liberty, the Knights Of
Luther or their kind, write them
selves down as unworthy the support
of honest men. There are some
such here who will bear watching.

VALID MARRIAGES.

Marriages between Catholics
where the ceremony is performed by
Justice of the Peace are deemed
not valid in the eyes of the church.
But they are valid under the laws
of the State and the decision of the
courts. Is the church herein placing
herself "aboye the State" and defy
ing the civil authority? No. The
church is doing only what the law
comedies her a right to do-pre-
scribing the conditions of member
ship within her own community The
attitude of the church on the mar
riage question amounts to declaring
that any Catholic who marries be-
fore a Justice of the Peace makes
his exit from the Catholic COM
n-dishonorably discharged.
There is no conflict with the laws
Of the State. A Catholic Judge on
the bench, there to interpret and
apply the laws Of the land, must
rule that Catholics married before a
Justice of the Peace are validity
married under the statutes. In be-
coming a citizen OF the United States
\ man yields up certain rights and
accepts certain duties. In becoming
a member OF the Catholic church
man also yields up certain rights
such Us marrying before Justice
and accepts certain obligations
such as\that OF the Easter duty. In
this thete is no encroachment OF the
liberty of the citizen, because ones
In a church is wholly a
matter OF free will. And the sane

CHRISTIAN SPIRIT?

Although it has been proven to
the satisfaction of every fair think
ing man and woman that the
protest of the Catholics is a fair
one in regard to the persecution of
priests and nuns in Mexico; that
their churches and converts have
been destroyed; that they are for
hidden to even hold services by the
Villa-Carranza gang of cut-throats
and assassins, all of which has been
proven. as we say, yet the editor of
local Baptist weekly, who is a
minister of the gospel, strongly pro-
tests against the United States
Government listening to the plea of
many million Catholic citizens for
fair play and protection in Mexico,
and says: "In advance 1t is quite
safe to say that our Government will
leave these ecclesiastical cormor-
ants in the exact position they
placed themselves. 1t is not at all
likely that President Wilson, who is
largely responsible for the downfall
of the unspeakable Huerta, who had
the backing of the Catholic party,
will not come to the rescue of the
clerical machine" This is indeed a
nice Christian spirit emanating from
this minister, but what howl would
go up from this same gentleman if
one-tenth of this happened to the
of this brother, who have
been busy in Mexico for years-on
fat salaries but with small harvests.

ESCAPING ENGLISH SERVICE.

Four hundred Irishmen. from
sixteen to twenty-five years old.
came over from Queenstown in a
body on the steamer Cedric, which
reached New York last Friday. They
declined to say If they had come to
America rather than enlist in the
British army, but did say they came
here to look for work. IL was re-
ported among the other passengers
that they had left Ireland because
an Irish labor leader had convinced
them that the British Government
was soon to enforce CONSUMPTION in
Ireland.

STORY OF FATHER BURKE,

Father Burke. the great Domini-
can preacher, had great fondness
Of riding on top OF an omnibus.
Once when doing so after long
church service in Dublin he pro-
duced his breviary and was soon
deep In its contents. A we'll known
evangelical. sitting near him. took
upon himself to comment upon the
act. "The Lord tells u.s." he said.
that when we pray We should not
be as the hypocrites, who love to
pray In public and at the corners
OF the streets. that they may be
seen by men. Now" he added,
when I pray I enter into my closet.
and when 1 have shut the door I
pray in secret"
without looking up. Father
Burke replied aloud, Yes; and you
get on the top of an omnibus and
tell every one about H."

Many are wondering what has
become of the zone hundred years
of peace" humbug, about which so
much was heard few months ago,
and which was being organized to
throw dust in the eyes of the

who we're, as was said by a United

the affairs of Great Britain than in
those of their own country"
