ed because it would have occupied very much more space, but when this was pointed out to the county clerk he readily agreed to the condensing of the matter. In condensing the report the Gazette merely followed the rule laid down by the Arkansas Press Associa- tion at a meeting held shortly after Act No. 3 was adopted. Members of the association were asked to assist county officials in making reports so that the reports would show a maxi mum of detail, or news, at minimum cost. The cost of some of the publi- cations thus far made by some of the Arkansas newspapers could have been materially lessened. County officials should look into this feature and should have the assistance of newspa- per men in condensing reports. The newspapers of Arkansas are not looking for "soft money" The Press Association, which represents in its membership the majority of these newspapers, has gone on record con cerning these publications and when county publications to the minimum they will have the hearty approval of Arkansas newspaper men, But coun- ty officials should see that the reports comply in every particular with the provisions of the publicity law If this is done the people who have a right to know, can know and will know.
 Whether the publicity bill will be sent back to the people the Gazette does not know, but the Gazette be- lieves it will be endorsed by the peo- pie if they are given an opportunity to vote on 1t, although the Gazette realizes that certain interests were in a measure inactive during the last campaign will be most active against the bill if it is again voted on
 Should the bill be sent back to the people it will mean simply this. The legislature believes that the people in voting for the publicity bill did not know what they wanted and therefore the legislature wants them to do it all over again.
 But whatever action is taken on the publicity law we should remember that a new era is dawning in public affairs and the biggest feature of the new era is publicity. The United States government has turned to publicity to solve problems heretofore unsolvable. Big business now goes to the people to give its side instead of going to few men, as was done in the past. Big changes for the better will be forced in Arkansas if the publicity law is in tellgently carried out.-Arkansas Ga Zette.

Why Arkansans Are Inter- ested in he Prosperity of the Railroads of Ark- QnSQS.

The enormous loss sustained by business generally and by every citizen of Arkansas through the decreased buying power of the rail- roads is strikingly illustrated by the great falling off in the past year in the purchases by the rail- roads of lumber, ties, pilng and other forest products.
 On the lines of six of the principal roads traversng the state of Arkansas the loading of railroad ties for 1914, compared to the previous year, records decrease of $500 cars. This means that approximately $500, 900 less ties were bought. There over 1OOoO 900 ties as- sembled on the right of way of one railroad in Arkansas in the hands of the producer which the railroad is unable to purchase and more than another million are reported to be on the right of way of other roads awaiting purchaser About 70 per cent of these are ties that have been hewn by farmers. Of course the railroads have for these ties and would like to pur- chase them, and thereby help the farmer and other owners, but through lack of funds they are unable to do so
 A statement from one car building company alone shows that under normal conditions they purchase annually 800 100000 feet of lumber for in the construction of railroad cars costing S9,o00,00o. The building plants of this one company, located in the St. Louis district, use 100000, 900 feet of lumber yearly at cost of $3,00O,0o0, while they are buying practically no lumber under the present conditions A very large portion of this lumber is purchased in the state of Arkansas, and the enormous shrinkage in consumption has almost paralyzed the lumber in- dustry of this state.
 For the twelve months ending October 1914, six railroads in this Western district show de- of s6,0OO,ooo in their pay rolls, compared with previous year. Railroads must retrench in every department and at the same time endeavor to retain their organization, hoping and believing that the people will come to their rescue and place them in position to make bettements and ex- tensions and to enable the manufacturers to pro vide employment for hundreds of thousands of out of work and formerly employed in industries which supply the railroads
 Mir Citizen of Arkansas, the restoration of the threecent rate will mean much for the pros perity of the railroads, and the prosperity of the railroads means prosperity for the entire indus trial system of your state

made against the Y. M. G. A. on
the score of its distinctively re-

we have SO often said about the

it is, in reality, what its constitu-

organization which excludes from

A DENATURED Y. M. G. A.

Colonel Goethals, the builder of
the Panama Canal, tells the story
of that gigantic undertaking in
.Scribner's Magazine. In the course
of the article, he mentions the
fact that the club-houses were
build by the government and
turned over to the Y. M. G. A. for
management. How this arrange
ment worked he tells us in the fol-
lowing words:
prior to the opening of the
first clubhouse, / found that CON

for there was a large Catholic
element in the force, and there
was an idea extant that those of
this faith would be excluded from
membership through the exercise
of religious ceremonies to which
they could not conform. The af-
fairs of the clubs were to be in
charge OF an advisory board to be
appointed by the chairman of the
commission, and / appointed on
this board a Catholic for the very
purpose of overcoming this feel

PRoTEsTANT1sM A FAILURE.


On all sides there ascends the
cry that Professionalism is a fail
.ure. A well-known minister some
time ago in Philadelphia said !;
"Would we dare to ask God to
come down and accept New York,
Boston, Chicago or San Francisco
as worthy product Of our relig-
ion? Would we dare to present
to him our record of $4,000 in
nocent girls a year dragged down
to supply the demands Of lust !;
would we dare to present to Him
the statistics of our drink bill,
and the money spent in dissipation
and follyq Would we dare to
present Philadelphia to the Fa-
ther this night and say, Here
is our jewel, take it into Thy
bosom =
Professionalism, with its ram
pant individualism, and its con-
scomitant free-thought, so-called,
has, ON its own confession, much
to answer for.

A GENEROUS RESPONSE.

In last weeks issue we pub
lished, under the head Of mission
news, two letters received from
missionary priests in the Orient.
The one from Father Cain of the
Philippine Islands told a pitiful
story of what would ordinarily be
called "a run of hard luck. F." For
more than three months he has
been confined to a hospital where
he underwent several operations
which have left him in a weakened
condition. He has had to leave
his missions without a priest and
his school without director. To
his physical suffering there is
added the anxiety of pressing
debts which he has no means of
discharging.
The other letter, from Father
Allen of British India, sends out a
call for financial help to enable
him to meet current expenses and
to maintain an orphanage which,
without such aid, will have to be
closed in a short time.
In response to these letters we
have received up to the present the
sum of $50 from five Of our read
ers whose generous souls have been
touched by these appeals from
missionaries who are battling with
sickness and privation of no or
binary kind. OF this sum $40 is
for Father Cain and the remainder
for Father Allen. We shall for
ward this money to them without
delay, as well as any further dona-
-tions sent by charitably- disposed
persons.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
THE PRIESTS, LEAGUE.

The strength of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America has
been in its intimate relation with the
Living Church of God Out of the zeal
OF Bishops and priests this Union was
formed in the beginning and with the
unfa1ling appreciation of the HER
archy it has continued it's work for.
nearly half century. It's chief glory
has ever been the approval of Holy
Church, as repeatedly expressed by
the Wears of Christ upon earth. TN
der its banners they have walked safe
ly who have loved the holy cause of
temperance and who have sought by
their jealous service of this Union to,
uphold the honor of Holy Church.
The Priests League has always
been intimately associated with our
National Union. It's members have
been for the most part officers of the
Subordinate Unions, or spiritual direc-
tors of local societies. The League has
been an inspiration to the great Cath
Ollie hearts in the membership of our
National Union All good Catholics love
their priests, but none love them more
than those to whom the needs of Holy
Church are matters of constant and
burning solicitude. To none are the
sorrows of the Church matters of
profound concern than to those who
love the cause of temperance.
The priests of our National Union
and all members of the Priests
League have not only promoted the
cause of temperance, by their exam
pie of total abstinence, but by the in
spiration they have given all the men,
bers of the National Union. AS in
the Church at large, so in every func-
ton of religion and in every detail of
Catholic life, the priest is the very
nucleus of that life which Christ lives
in and through His Church. For bet
ter or for worse, for higher or for
lower, the Church is what the priest
makes it. In our National Union, the
priest has ever been a dominating in
fluence and so long as he continues
such, our National Union will con-
tinue to do Gods work as it has done
it these many years.
The Priests League in it's own cor
porate life reflects back upon the Ma
tional Union it's successes or it's fail
ures. We are therefore immensely
concerned about the success of the
Priests League. The League always
holds it's yearly meeting some time
during the days of our annual conven-
ton No where has thn paoun .nroc
pered more than in Pittsburgh, where
it's president lives. If all it's members
could but catch something of the in
domitable zeal and heaven-born cour-
age of it's devoted leader, it would
enkindle a fire that could not be
quenched until the dross of intemper-
ance was utterly destroyed through
out the Church of God

SAFETY FIRST.

Safety will be assured only when
every man in the employ of the COM
pany realizes the fact that he is re-
sponsible for his felIow-man's safety.
Safety means that we must waive
what right we have to drink by giving
up this habit, which is running SO
many of the bright men of our
country. Things may be lawful and
yet not be expedient,, and IL our alb
staining from liquor will help our
fellow-man, then let US give it up, il
for no other reason than the good it
may have over the life of some other
man. The true man is the man who is
ready and willing to make sacrifice
for the good of his fellow-man. Then
let US all be total abstaniners, for
duty il higher than freedom.

TOME FOR BOYS
"BIG BROTHERS" OF THE BRONX
WILL OPEN HOME FOR Way
WARD BOYS.

The big Brother" movement,
which is steadily growing in Man.
haitian, where permanent organiza-
ton has been effected, was inaugu-
rated recently in the Bronx, New
York. Upward of fifty business and
professional men interested in the
Catholic Boys Protective League met
in the Children's Court to. formulate
plans to establish a home in the
Bronx.
The league will lease two houses in
the Hunts Point section for a home.
The movement will have for it's main
object the moral welfare of hayward
boys and young men, ranging in age
from IL to 81, for whom the home will
be a temporary refuge. They will
get a lift" until such time as they
have passed through their difficulties,
and "big brothers will be appointed
to watch over the hayward ones. A
man who can spare the time and who
has his heart in the right place will
be designated to take care of each
youngster, keep him straight, see that
he gets home at the right time at
night, give him kindly advice, and in
general look out for his moral, spirit
ual and social welfare.
In event of boy being committed
to prison, the interest in him will not
cease, but a record will be kept of the
time when he is about due for release
and the big brother" will see to it
that he gets employment, that he
stays away from his former pals and
haunts and keeps to the straight and
narrow path.

UNWORTHY TO LEAD VET
ERANS.

In last week s issue we referred
to the selection Of General Miles
as Grand Marshal of the G. A. R.
parade to be held this month in
Washington, and stated that the
Catholic veterans would be justi-
fed in refusing to march behind
one whose utilization with the So
called Guardians Of Liberty proves
him a bigot who would deny a
citizen his rights if he were a
Catholic.
In this connection we add the
following comment from the pen
of G. F. Mcdonald, editor Of the
est. Cloud Daily Tines and
Past Department Commander. of
the G. A. r.:
"Gen. Nelson A. Miles has been
selected as the grand marshal of
the G. A. r. marching pageant
which is to be held in commem-
Grafton of the Grand Review of
fifty years ago, at Washington.
This is an honor unWorthily be-
slowed. Gen. Miles army record
was excellent, but he furnished
that record by becoming the head
of a disloyal organization, an or
ganization which violates the Con-
stitution Of the United States by
prescribing believers of a certain
faith as disloyal to the govern
ment, and not to be trusted in
public office. The religion thus
maligned was that of Sheridan,
of Rosencranz, Of Meagher, Of
Mulligan, of Sherman's family,
and Of hundreds of thousands OF
generals and other officers and
men in the ranks. In the coming
parade there will be thousands Of
veterans whom Gen. Miles has de-
clared not to be trusted in public
office not good citizens.

HEALTH BOARD ATTACKS
LIQUOR.

u9igEIOnR ItiJtiff- 7TT--77Titt1 e,rc,,,., 49,
DIR. S. S. Goldwater, Health Com
missioner of New York City, caused
much comment some time ago by de-
claring that anything that affects the
health of the people of the city is a
subject of concern to the Health De-
partment. There is too much liquor
drunk in New York City.
1T is not open to. dispute that alco-
hol causes too much of the work the
Health Department is doing, and it is
always our aim to lessen the work the
department has to do.
II want it understood by the people
of the city that this is to be a real
fight. 1t is not enough, as at present,
to make occasional deprecatory men,
ton of alcohol and it's results; we
must have a definite anti-alcohol pro-
gram. The work of the Health De-
partment in this field will henceforth
be systematic, aggressive and unre-
hitting"
DIR. James S. Boyers, president of
the Indiana State Board of Health,
after a careful study of the contem-
plated plans of DR.. Goldwater, decided
to bring the matter before the Indiana
Board. The power of the State Board
of Health to regulate, or perhaps pro-
hibit, the sale of alcohol and alcoholic
products in the state of Indiana, will
