Republican Nominee Opens Cam

GUS Speech.
HAS NOT KEPT e."
NATION OUT OF WAR
Cites Vera Cruz Incident and
Calls It Very "1gnoble
War;"

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 7.-Charles E..
Hughes in the first speech of his trans
continental trip tonight assailed the
administration vigorously for it's for
eign policy; its Mexican policy; for
appointing men, whom he termed in.
experienced, in diplomatic posts, and
for what he characterized as "a raid
upon the civil service of the United
States
HE kept us out of war;" Mr..
Hughes said, referring to the presi-
dent and the Democratic slogan. HE
seized Vera Cruz; that was war-very
ignoble war. And it was called war
over the bodies of those dead soldiers;
It was called war of service"
What Is His Policy. ..
"Talk about what is your policy
What is the pl residents policy. Does
anyone know? Has the executive ever
had policy for more than six months
on the Mexican question? ! repeat.
Who knows today what the policy of
the administration will be three
months hence? My friends, the trou-
BILE is that this administration has
written such record that no matter
what it says, you do not know wheth-
er it will stick to it."

the past three years which, confess,
fills me with deep sense of shame.

spirit in my system but, i'll am elect.

American rights in Mexico are re.

. Attacks Diplomacy.
Mr. Hughes assailed the administra.
TONS course in upholding American
rights abroad during the European
war.
"When say that am an American
CITIZEN" the nominee said, II ought
to say the proudest thing that any
man can say in this world. But you
can not have that pride, if American
citizenship is a cheap thing; if it is
not worthy of protection this wide
world over. There is no man who
could successfully present to any
American community the platform
that an American citizens rights stop
at the coast line and that beyond that
American rights are to be ignored by
any marauder that chooses to do So"
The nominee cited the Republican
platform declaration that 10000 gov
ernment positions have been taken
from the operation of the civil service
law during the present administration
and declared that that sort of thing
has got to STOP

START WAR ON MUFFlER
FlENDS IN WllllSTON

Williston, N. D., Aug. 7.-Muffer
fiends will now have their turn for
attention from the Williston police
department, according to Chief of Po-
lice John Nolan. The muffer cut-out
is to become a thing Of the past in
the city limits.
Officers started the elimination of
the muffler nuisance this week, when
automobile drivers who have some
times offended with the open muffler
were all warned that the cut-out must
no longer be used within the city
limits, and hereafter offenses will
mean arrest and trial in the police
court, according to the officers.

ROAD HERE
WORST ON
RED TRAIL
Travellers Going Other Ways to
Evade Ruts on Burleigh
County Stretch.
EAsTERNERs DECLARE
ROAD IMPA5SABLE
Tractors and Graders Bunched,
Cant Make Needed Repairs
to Advantage.

The Burleigh country stretch of the
National highway is the worst on the
entire course of the Red Trail, accord
ing to tourists and to Bismarck citi-
zens who have travelled over 1t.
Many sections of the road are i'm
passable. Big ruts, two to three feet
deep, waylay the cars and cause
many accidents. For the large tour
ing machines travelling is virtually i'm
possible and tourists have been evad-
ing 1t wherever possible and going
through other towns and cities rather
than Bismarck.
Nebraskan Expresses Himself.
A man touring through from Ne
braska to the Yellowstone Park yes
terday expressed the views of most
of the men who have travelled over it.,
when he declared that it is the most
treacherous piece of road he has ever
travelled on at this season of the year.
Possibly the worst part of the road
is from the Field farm to Menoken.
1t Is just one hole after another.
There is no way that the driver can
escape them.
Boosters Aroused. ID.
Capital City boosters are aroused
over the condition. 1t insures a
knocker for the city and Burleigh
county for every tourist that passes
over the National highway s.
Most of those interested in good
roads believe that the bad conditions
are due to the fact that the tractors
and graders this year are punched
and have, therefore, not been able
to do as satisfactory work as last
year. XII. 1.
~. =: Back on Work. y.ef .,t
Only SO miles of work have been
graded to date, while the equipment
has been increased by two graders
and an engine Some $50 miles were
worked last year. - ~
Men. in charge of the work say,
however, that the delay has been due
to the inability to get men to dig out
the rocks, consequently the crews
must be taken from the graders and
engines to do do the work, allowing
the equipment, valued at STATS, to
remain idle.
Get in the Way.
Those that favor having only one
outfit in each place urge that this
method would not permit them get
ting in each others way, one rock
wouldn't delay the whole string.

by Police Captain Martineson and

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
BISHOP HEDLEy ON Tenn
PERANcE.

OF the late Bishop Hedley Of New
port, England, it is recorded that
though opposed to some of the meth
DDS of propaganda adopted by tenn
perance extremists, he fully recog-
nized the potent influence which a
sane and just advocacy of temperance
must exercise upon the progress of
the Church in his country, and on the
spiritual and temporal welfare of his
flock. He was staunch supporter OF
the Catholic Temperance Crusade, in
which he took deep interest. In
1898 he decided to have great tenn
perance mission throughout his do
cese. The following year Bishop He'd
ley invited the Rev. Father Hays, OF
Nottingham, to preach in all the large
centres, and at Cardiff, Newport, Swan
sea, Port Talbot and Meath many
thousands joined the movement. The
one feature which appealed most to
him was the large numbers of chill
dren who everywhere took the alb
stinence pledge from Father Hays, for
in these the Bishop recognized the
future men and women who were to
be the builders and supporters of the
Church in these countries.

BACK TO THE FOLD.

Foreign exchanges convey the
news that Archbishop Mathew
of the "Old Catholic Church !" in
England has petitioned His EN-
inence Cardinal Merry Del Val,
Project of the Holy Office, for abb
solution from eensures and for
restoration to the visible unity OF
the Church. According to his own
statement, he has offered his CON
triton, with humble unconditional
and entire submission to Ills Hol1-
ness Pope Benedict XIV. q
" Archbishop" Matthew 8 devi-
alton from the ranks Of the Church,
which occurred some years ago,
was prompted by a desire for &C.
clesiastical preferment. The CLAM
or of the purple made him forget
the solemn pledge Of obedience to
lawful authority which he took at
his ordination. He seems to have
realized the error of his ways at
last and we pray that he may have
the grace to persevere in his good
resolution and that he may find
peace for his soul in the bosom
of the Church where alone IS true
spiritual happiness.

The following item from "The
Monitor" Of San Francisco, CAL, is
significant:
Senator Phelan of California is
hailed by our eastern contempt
raries as the sixth Catholic men,
Der of the Senate. If the other
five are as Catholic as the Cali
fornian the less said the better. !"
The only comment it is neces-
sary to make on the foregoing is
to contrast it with the following
reference to Ex-Governor Walsh
of Massachusetts contained in the
current issue Of the Sacred Heart
Review
Zone thing Massachusetts Cath
olics can always say in the future
is that the first Catholic to hold
the office Of Governor Of this Com
monwealth was a man who was
clean and above-board both in his
public and private life. Among
those who knew him intimately
there are stories of Governor
Walsh's faithfnlness to his relig-
ious duties which show that the
phrase practical Catholic used
in his case had a definite mean

FAMOUS BRETON SHRINE
MONT SAINT MICHAEL IN FRANCE
HAS A NOTED HISToRY-A
PLACE OF PILGRIMAGE.

Mont Saint Michael in France has
been justly called the "Wonder of the
West" Nature, art, and history, all
three combine to please the eye in
this fair spot. In the midst of an
immense bay, scarcely less charming
than that of Naples, surrounded by
the picturesque country of Avranches,
and the rugged coast of Brittany, this
granite rock rises into the air. High
UP, more than 400 feet above the
sands, it is crowned by a group of
stately buildings.
In the year 70S, ST. Michael the
Archangel appeared on this mountain
to ST. ALBERT, Bishop of Avranches,
and ordered him to erect there
church in his honor. 1t was solemnly
consecrated on October Is, 709.
Ever since, Mont Saint Michel has
been the goal of pilgrimages from all
western Christendom Nearly every
King of France visited the sanctuary,
and also the Kings of England and
Scotland But it was Ireland which
showed such a special devotion to st.
Michael, and from the middle of the
tenth until the sixteenth century, one
of the most treasured possessions of
the abbey were a sword and buclSler,
specially brought from the Emerald
Isle as token of gratitude for a mir
aculous Intervention of the Archangel.
The sanctuary of the Mount is the
center of worldwide Archconfrater-
nifty, wherein are inscribed the names
of all those who specially recommend
themselves to the protection of st. Mi
cTael, and in this church prayers are
recited every day for the associates.
The war has given fresh impulse to
this ancient devotion. In particular, a
great number Of soldiers have sent in
their names to be inscribed on the roll,
in order to receive the scapular of
the prince of the angelic armies.
Every day the post brings the chap
lains countless letters of thanksgiving
for extraordinary protection in dan
gers, which the soldiers believe to be
due to the great Archangel.

tirety, would show that the gov
ernment's charges were unfound-
ed. The United States District At
torney insisted that only portions
Of the articles and chapters from a.
book circulated by the Company
should be placed in evidence. Eve
are not charging that the Menace
is an obscene or improper publica-
ton" he said. We only charge
that certain articles or parts of
articles appearing in the newspa-
per and certain passages in book
the government charges was circu-
lated by the defendants, were
sent through the mails, thereby
violating the laws. =
Judge Won Valkenbergh passed
on the matter submitted, by indi-
eating parts Of articles and por-
tons of certain chapters in the
book which might be admitted.
These were then read to the jury
by the prosecuting attorney.
Many of these passages contained
charges Of immortality against the
Catholic clergy and Sisterhoods.
In view Of the fact that the
United States Postal Department
is unable to find any legal justifi-
cation for debarring the Menace
from the mails, it seems useless to
try to convict the publishers of
using them to disseminate obscene
matter. We do not know any,
thing about the religious complex
ion Of the jury which tried the
case, but taking into consideration
the attitude of the postal author
tiles, any jury would hesitate to
convict unless the evidence was
overwhelming. Then, too, there
is always the sectarian bias to be
taken into account. Southern jul
ries disagreed twice in the case
Of the notorious Tom Watson of
Georgia who was tried for a SINH
lar offence; and unless the postal
laws are so amended as to give
the Postmaster General the au-
thority which he maintains is now
lacking to exclude publications Of
this kind from the mails, it is out
Of the question to expect to con-
Wet anti-Catholic publications on
an Indictment charging them with
sending indecent matter through
the mails.
We do not hear so much about
the Menace and it's work as we
did a few years ago. 1t is not I'M
likely that it has reached the zen
it'll Of it's anti-Ctholic influence.
Even rabid bigots tire in time OF
the continued reiteration of the
same old unsubstantiated charges
and people who have any spark OF
intelligence left to reason for
themselves never waste time IN
reading a second issue of these
publications. They appeal only to
a certain class and the members OF
that class would be bigots even
though there were no publications
to foment their hatred Of the
Catholic Church and her mstitl-

A PNEUMONIA BEGETTER.

At this season Of the year when
pneumonia is SO prevalent and so
fatal in it's effects, it may not be
amiss to place before our readers
the following significant state
ment Of a physician who, through
the Sacred Heart Review voic-
es the opinion of.the medical fra
ternity regarding the special dan
ger which turks in this disease for
persons addicted to drink. He
says:
Now is the time to get on the
water wagon and to stay there.
Whisky and every other form Of
alcoholic drink is a pneumonia be-
getter. Alcohol lowers the fight
ing defenses of the human body
against all forms Of disease, but
especially against pneumonia.
This has been proven by careful
scientific tests. 1t is a universal
ly recognized clinical fact. This
is one of the points on which the
laboratory men and the practising
physicians are in full accord. Ii
an ordinary man gets pneumonia
the chances are three to one that
he will get well. Whisky drink
ers who get pneumonia do not
have a one to three chance for
life.

form and the part which they play
in the world s history.

1t was a happy thought on the
part Of Mr.. Baldus, managing edi-
tor Of Extension, to devise the

have added to the popularity and
usefulness of the magazine during
the past year; and it was fitting
that the first number of the New

WOMEN AND DRINK.

Writing to the London Times, Ade-
line, Duchess of Bedford, President OF
the Association of Lady Visitors to
Prisons, says:
"A remarkable document has been
placed in my hands, and / think the
contents should be known to the pub
lie. 1t is a petition for the closing Of
public houses during the war. and is
signed by 500 women lately discharged
from Holloway Prison. These unfor-
tunate persons attribute their down
fall solely to intemperance, and con-
sequently plead for the only means
known to them to save others from a
like fate. AS comment on this pa
thetic effort it may be mentioned that
there is a general opinion among gov
errors and chaplains of prisons that
the early-closing orders since the war
began have effectively diminished the
number of commitments for drunken
ness, and at Holloway, where London
women are received, this is especially
noticeable"
