American Shipping.

IL is said that the president is much
disappointed over the failure TO pass
the shipping bill. He may be ss a
politician, he should not be as a states
man, for, consciously or unconsciously
the impelling motive behind II was hat
OF politics, not craftsmanship. The
bill was wrong in principle. deceptive
In Its promises and altogether made
quate IL the purpose was really 10 be-
gin the restoration OF the country's
merchant marine.
When the president insisted upon
the repeal Of the law which gave Am
erican o shipping the right of way
free OF tolls, through the Panama eau
nj, the chief reason that he gave was
that as the law stood. Il gave by indi-
rection o subAidy TO such shipping and
hat he and his party were opposed TO
subsidies, In any form He must have
known that his shipping bill" II made
a law would be much NOR, costly than
any private company could do the
work for, but the proposition wal to
v that up In n deficit which would
be much greater than any fair sub
sidy but which would not be realized
by the great mass of voters.
We do not expect that there Will be
any American merchant marine for
oversee work for many yeras TO come.
The law has established n tonnage
measurement for American ships
largely exceeding that OF am foreign
country. IL compeis ship owners 10
carry crews outnumberlLg those of
any other nation. IT forbids the SER
Vices OF Asiatic crews. IL taxes ships
a. their full value and rates their port
charges by the same rule.
Great Britain, I'm time of peace, taxes
her ships only on their net profits, aud
valves port charges and pays heavy
subsidies.
Germany pegs bounties rather than
subsidies. japan pays subsidies a..d
RENTS tho taxes on her merchant
ships. Japan follows Great Britain's
plan.
or course no American ship coio-
pany can without help meet such COM
petition as that and II seems lmpos-
sible to ever educate the American
people to an understanding of those
facts, even the shock which last sum
mer Frustrated foreign shipping and
left us with n mighty harvest which
could not be moved, apparently had
no effect. or In the least aroused the
people to tho necessity of our becom-

outburst OF righteous indignation all
over the state. Governor Alexander
may have thought he was doing the
right thing politically, when Major
Reed was taken off the job, but those
who have Witnessed the humiliating
position In which The whole state IA
placed before the whole nation will
not appreciate the change which has
set well-establlshed plans awry. The
Idaho building, %pretentious as to ex-
terror, may well be called the tomb of
Idaho's buried hopes unless speedy
action is taken to remedy the trouble.
There is nothing on the inside save
space. Major Reed had we'll defined

terror shows that some OF his exhibits
have been pulled out. in their place Is
absolutely nothing save promises. Ir-
respective of partisan politics Major
Reed should have been left In charge.

brain and nndy.

We find this most interesting article
In an exchange:
DIR, E. II. Southland, director of the
Boston P~sychopathic hospital. has pub
iished In the Now York World some In
teresting information about the func-
tions OF different parts of the brain.
Facts or this nature have been brought
TO light by long and painstaking inves-
ugation. The research began by study
ing brain areas which had been laid
bare by accidents. When these ex-
posed portions were stimulated BY ell
ectricity IL was found that definite
parts OF the muscular system respond
ed. Another source OF light was at
forded by injuries to tho brain. II oc-
~casionally happened that a lesion In
some definite spot could be studied
with regard to It's effect upon the mus
Giles. Thus fixed correspondences be-
tween brain and body were established
which were afterward confirmed by
experiments upon tho lower animals.
DIR. Southland remarks that the brain
IL divided into two parts by tho Tissue
OF Rolando." Behind that extraordi-
nary line OF division lie the feeling and
knowing areas OF the brain. In front
of II are the thinking aud commanding
areas.
The back part OF the brain generates
impulses. The front part decides
whether they shall be obeyed or not.
II contains the "~inhibitory" cells
through which the will keeps us In the
marrow path of rectitude. A severely
upright conscience means physiology
sally a collection Of inhibitory cells,
which are dilligent In their function.
When these cells become ~listless con-
science sleeps. In the front part OF
the brain moral judgments are formed.
The back portion is the domain of the
,empter who would, II he had his way,
reduce us to the moral condition Of the
beasts that perish.--Goodwin's Weekly.

However, In order that there may be

selves or others the victims of in
justice with no visible means of re.
dress. We realize talent and other
special gifts which lack their due and
proper circumstance for expression.
We are comforted with material oh.
legations and hold no wherewithal to
discharge them. We are compelled to
live with or near some one who has
q genius for thwarting every glimpse
OF honest enterprise.
To be defeated by such adverse
circumstances is wrong, because one
OF our most important duties is self
realization in noble expression. To
lose hold Of this in order to yield to

The Holy Spirit is the fountain of
fortitude through which we can get
the strength to act in untoward cir

which we can learn how to act in diff
dcult matters. There can be no more
salutary or faithful devotion than q
habitual invocation of the Holy Spirit
each day and at every opening of
work.

It would seem that the members of
the Presbyterian faith have very little
confidence in the church members of
that particular sect, who join others in
fearing that the United States will be
ruled by the Catholics. An organ of
that denomination states that the pres.
ident Of the United States is an elder
OF the First Presbyterian church in
Princeton, N. j; the vice president is
an elder of the First Presbyterian
church of Indianapolis; and the score
tary of state is an elder of the First
Presbyterian church of Omaha. These
honorable gentlemen were elected by
a large Catholic VOTE" says the West
ern Catholic. which, according to the
Guardians of Liberty, one would be
forced to conclude that because mem
bers of the Catholic church voted fol
these gentlemen that the Catholics are
gradually undermining our public in
situations and getting a grasp on pub

RESPECTING The BIBLE.

Every now and then a spasmodic
cry breaks out for biblical instruction
in the public schools. The spleen OF
those misdirected minds who claim
that the Catholic church is RESPONSE
BILE for its absence might we'll have
their attention called to the act OF
Protestant ministers in their treatment
of the Bible. Recently an eastern min.
lister in sermon rejected the story
Of Jonah and the whale as pure
fabrication, and shortly after this
same minister upheld the right of q
student to be ordained a minister in
the Protestant church, although the
student rejected the teaching of the
Divinity of Christ. Not long after.
ward this same minister addressed q
mass meeting on the subject of or.
ganizing for Bible teaching in the pub.
lie schools and later he himself tore
into shreds various books of the Bible
on the ground that their teachings did
not conform to the present needs of
the world. Well may the question be
asked, what church, what creed, has
the proper respect for the Bible and
desires to keep its teachings as they
were intended to be by those who un-
derstand its doctrines, and who are
inspired by the faith to teach them
properly?

rHE CATHOLIC PRlEsr.

The priest in the Catholic church
ts not self-appointed, automatically
made preacher; he is a picked man,
long taught man, a much tried and
tested man. For years he is trained
to the hardest of all tasks, the task
of self-control, self-mastery and self
sacrifice. The result is an unselfish
man, master of himself, of his higher
and lower nature. He is well taught.
His is the most careful and well-bal-
lanced training of both mind and
heart; in the science of the schools
and in the science of the saints, that
is given to any professional man in
the world today. His diploma is his
ordination; when he qualities for that,
he is so master of self that he can
live a solitary, isolated life; so self
controlled that his passions are his
servant, not his master, and in the
full vigor of young manhood he is
strong enough to promise lifelong
celibacy, and so unselfish as to devote
and consecrate his whole life to the
extension of Christ's work on earth.
Thus equipped and prepared, the can
didate for the priesthood kneels be-
fore his bishop and hears those words
he can never forget through life:
Thou art a priest forever. Bishop
Gum.

POLICE AND THE PRESS.

A Minneapolis publication has been
having some experience outside of the
Twin Cities. A "newsy" was selling
a paper upon the streets Of Des
Moines which attacked the character,
morals and methods of Billy Sunday.
The paper was also sold upon the
streets of Minneapolis. But the po-
lice Of Iowa's capital city arrested the
distributor of the sheet attacking the
baseball minister" The exercise of
police power in this fashion brings to
the people Of this city train of

THE cHuRcH,s GREAT LOSS.

The ChOHCh'S GREAT LOSS.
Last week the church was called
upon to mourn the loss of three bish.
ops: Bishop Cotton of Buffalo; Bishop
Macs of Covington, KY; and Bishop
Scanlon of Salt Lake City. All three
were leaders of church thought in the
United States and were singularly
blessed with those virtues and capa.
bilities which add luster to the work
of the church. The lot of each was
cast on very different influence,
from youth to age. A metropolitan
city claimed one, the war-torn country
of Belgium another, and the Isle of
Saints and Scholars the other. AS
their native lands were different, SO
too were they different in the sections
of the country in which their lot was
cast. Bishop Cotton remained in New
York, his native state. Bishop Macs
was educated in the College of Lou
vain, in his native Belgium. Bishop
Scanlon, who was born in Ireland, was
at an early age missionary priest in
this country. The church has lost
three Jealous shepherds who have left
their mark upon their time and their
influence upon their church for which
they labored hard and we'll. The sep
arate loss of each was distinct loss,
not only to the church in general, but
to the locality in which each labored
so long. Their removal casts pail of
gloom over the entire Catholic Amer
lea.

American shipping vessels are not

the American flag have been hailed
into English and Scotch ports for car

incident is sad and the lesson was
