CONDITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Continent, the organ of the
Presbyterian Church, has very good
article on the work of that sect in the
Philippines. 1t describes very well the
work that is being carried on toward
implanting the Protestant religion in
the hearts of the Filipino people and
robbing them of the heritage of the
iCatholic Faith. The article in the Con
tinent is not bitter article; nor is
it particularly biased. 1t simply dove
tails with the accounts that Catholic
missioners send in to the Offices of the
Church Extension Society, in letters
that are full of pathos and appeal. Our
missionary priests tell of the work that
the wellpaid Protestant missionaries
are doing. The Continent unconscious
sly agrees with our missionaries. 1t,
too, speaks of the success that the
Protestant propaganda is making in
the Islands. And our missionaries
agree that the well-financed Protestant
propaganda is reaching out after peo-
pie whom our missionaries cannot help
because of their terrible poverty.

CONVENT INSPECTION BILL.
(From the Augusta Chronicle, July 17.)

The Chronicle feels like apologizing
to its readers-all of them of what
ever religious denomination-for re-
ferring, in its news columns yester-
day, to a bill introduced, or about to
be introduced, in the Georgia legis-
lature by Representative Weary of
Warren County, which the author
frankly admits has for its purpose
the investigation of Catholic con-
vents by grand jury committees from
time to time.
That this idiotic and deliberately
insulting measure-introduce in the
house without any hope of it's pas
sage, or even serious consideration
is an outcome of the vicious crusade
against Catholics which has been car
ried on for some years by that arch
apostle of SANDER and hate, Tom
Watson-for what he gets out of it
is all together apparent, thus doubly
stigmatizing both the bill and its
author.
Of course, anybody who happens to
break into the Georgia legislature can
introduce any sort of measure in that
body-and there have been fool
bills" galore introduced at every ses-
sion for years past--but that any
sort of publicity should be given to a
measure whose sole purpose is to
offend large body of Georgians and
deliberately insult and traduce large
numbers of good women whose lives

FOR THE NEGRO MISSION.

The great Catholic mission of the
propagation of the Faith among the
Negroes established by the Hierarchy
with National Headquarters in the
Tower of the Metropolitan Building,
No. Madison Avenue, New York City,
is flourishing. 1t is known all over
the states as the center point of the
work 1t is from here that help is
sent to impoverished missions, that
cannot hope to go on without aid.
The mail is heavy mostly with petit
lions for help, or grateful letters
acknowledging the relief just sent in
time to save. the poor mission from
going under. In remote parts of the
South where struggling missions are
trying to exist, to carry the Faith to
the poor. Negroes through self-sacri-
feed missionaries, men and women, it
would be hard to express the relief
when the welcome cheque from head
quarters arrives with it's message of
hope and the assurance that for at
least one month more the mission can
continue its work.
1t is the general Catholic public
who are helping to keep this work
going. One dollar from some poor
Irish immigrant, another dollar from
a prosperous citizen, and so on. Once
rich merchant sent a cheque for
three hundred dollars-it was a red
letter day-such cheques are like an
gels visits, few and far between. On
the whole it is the one dollar bills
that are the most numerous. The
Director General of the mission would
] be very satisfied if every Catholic in
the United States would send one
dollar to help the missions, then
he would have no call to be constant
ly appealing for aid. The propagation
of the Faith among the Negroes
would soon be an accomplished fact
Our share in the good work wouldn't
embarrass us. Spread the news, ask
every one to help the mission. Draw
their attention to it. 1t is a glorious
work to help to save souls and will
bring us heavenly reward Call or

A BUILDING FUND NEEDED.

Entrusted for the past year with the

ening the life of the inmates.
Furthermore the chapel in one OF
the neighboring villages has been
demolished by a cyclone, and the
Christians have no place in which to
worship. Father Sacre writes:
"Will those who read these lines
take pity on me! Certainly there is
need of a building fund in Vellore
since orphans, nuns and Christians
seem to be left with only the sky to
cover them" Perhaps some kind soul
will take pity on this distracted
apostle. and give him the means OF
sheltering his little flock"

Tense against such defamers as Tom
Watson, because their work for ages
speaks for itself-so much so that
even hardened criminals and thugs
have enough of manhood in them to
regard them with reverence, and are
often brought back to better life

do deserve from the public, of all
races and creeds, prompt and crush

would attempt to cast the slime of

Men may fight men, but he who lays

possessions to the institution which
they enter, devote their lives, in
humility and prayer and sacrifice, to
the cause of God and humanity?

Preacher Pounded

Last Thursday evening, March
18th, while sitting in our home,
at the Baptist Parsonage we
heard knock on the door, about
eight O'Clock and of course open
ed it to see what was wanted.
To our surprise, amazement, and
bewildermeut, there stood be-
fore as large crowd which pro-
ceeded to take possession of the
pre- misses. In order to fully car
ry out their plot they had been
carefully provided with various
articles with which TO defend
themselves. Upon finding Mrs.
Spiers, little Ruby, and myself
all IN one room they decided the
safest thing to do was to give us
all good pounding. Then be-
gan the onslaught, with coffee,
tea, -four, sugar, breakfast food,
canned goods, fruits, butter, be-
tween three and four dozen eggs

too numerous to mention. Well,

Oil Well Progress

The oil well at Minneola is
down 2065 feet. The drill is in
blue shale and the promoters are
more hopeful than ever that the
next few hundred feet will be
productive.
The Dodge City Commercial
Club has not yet acted on the
plan to take the proposition over
and finance the next thousand
or fifteen hundred feet. How
ever some individuals there took
additional stock and the promot-
ers are placing more stock among
those already interested to go to
a greater depth.
Conditions could not be better,
say men posted on the kind of
earth producing oil or gas, and
it would be shame to stop while
there is a good chance to find
one or the other. II will not take
a great deal from each person to
go another thousand feet, and
the effort will be made to do this.
1t is much better to invest in
another thousand feet in this
we'll than to change locations and
drill another, as the big part of
the work is finished on this hole,
and as far as formation is con.
cerned, it is doubtful if as good
could be found elsewhere. At
this time it seems merely mat
ter of depth. While this may
not prove out, all indications are
IN that direction.
1t will at least be worth some
thing to have the matter settled
while the opportunity presents
itself and it will not hurt anyone
to take few more shares to sink
the well to a greater depth.

32O-Acre Law

Washington, March S.-The
new 320-acre law, known as the
Thompson Act, which has pass
ed both branches of congress,
will greatly aid in the settlement
of the arid sections of the state
of Kansas. We have. as shown
by the report of the secretary of
the interior, about $4,000 acres of
unentered land at this time, and
in addition to that there are ap.
proximately 100000 acres known
as the Kansas National Forest
Reserve soon to be thrown open
to homestead entry.
THE people who live on the
entered or decided lands in the
neighborhood of those vacant
lands feel that if congress would
amend the law so that the entry
man could file on a half section
instead of a quarter section that
this would result in attracting
persons of thrift from other Sec
tions of the country who could
by growing dry.lapd crops adapt
ed to that section and by raising
cattle make a sort of dairy coun-
try out of it and bring it to con.
dition where it will be entirely
self.supporting and peopled by
Icontented home owners.
"Thls land is now non-taxa bic
and by reason of this fact il i'm
poses an added burden upon
those counties within which the
land is located. Most of these
counties are sparsely populated,
generally having from 700 to SOC
people and running from this up
to 1,500 or 1000 population and
in only one or two instances eX'
ceeding these figures; so thai
you can readily see that this is a
matter of no small concern in the
interested persons.
Senator William H. Thompson
is doing more for Kansas than
any senator has been able to ac-
complish in the past.

Kansas is still available as home
steads. Full particulars can be
