RELIGION AND PATRIOTISM.

The words which follow were spoken
by Daniel Webster at dinner of the
New England Society in December
1854. We find them quoted conspicu.
ously in The New Freeman of ST.. John
N. B.:
In our day there is more enlarged
and comprehensive Christian philan
thropy, and conviction prevails, JUS
tilted by the experience of our Gov
eminent, that all sects and denomina
tons may be safely tolerated. We are
Protestants, generally speaking, but we
all know that the gentleman who pre-
sides at the head of the Supreme Judi
cature of the United States is Roman
Catholic. No man supposes that the
judicature of the country is less safe
or that justice is dispensed with less
certainty and purity, because the Chief
Justice is a sincere and ardent adher
ent of the Catholic religion. And sc
in every department of society. In

Farrar writes in an equally enthusiast
tic strain. In,his book, 'sThe Victories
of Christianity page lis, we find him
expressing the highest praise for the
splendid work done by the Church in
the early centuries. Here are his
own words: From the fifth to the
thirteenth century the Church was en-
did organization the world has ever
seen. Starting with the separation
of the spiritual from the temporal
power, and the mutual independence
of each in it's own sphere, Catholic
ism worked hand in hand with feudal-
ism for the amelioration of mankind
Under the influence of feudalism,
slavery became serfdom, and aggres-
sive was modified to defensive war.
Under the influence of Catholicism,
the monasteries preserved learning
and maintained the sense of unity, of
Christendom. Under the combined
influence of both grew up the lovely
ideal of chivalry, moulding generous
instincts into gallant institutions, max
ing the body vigorous and the soul
pure, and wedding the Christian vir-
tues of humility and tenderness into
the, natural grace of courtesy and
strength. During this period the
Church was the one witness for light
in an age of darkness, for order in
an age of lawlessness, for personal
holiness in an epoch of licentious rage
Amid the despotism of kings, and the
turbulence of aristocracies it was an
inestimable blessing that there should
be power which, by the unarmed
majesty of goodness, made the
haughtiest and the boldest respect the
interests of justice and tremble at the
temperance, righteousness and iudg
ment to come"

question is viewed, its authority will
never be disputed. 1t will reflect SO
perfectly the general conception of
the people that no difficulties of detail
will seriously disturb it. This ascend
ancy was gained in medieval society
more completely than by any other
system before or since, and the stage
of civilization that resulted from it
was one of the most important in the
evolutions of society BY consolidat-
ing the heterogeneous and anarchical
elements that succeeded the downfall
of the Roman Empire, by infusing into
Christendom bond of unity that is
superior to the divisions of nation
hood, and moral tie that is superior
to force, by softening slavery into
serfdom, and preparing the way for
the ultimate emancipation of labor,
Catholicism laid the foundations of
modern civilization

CATHOLIC CHURCH is GREAT
CIVILlZER.

The well-known non-Catholic his
torian, Lecky, does not hesitate to
give to the Catholic Church the credit
of having lead the foundations of our
modern civilization. In his History
of Rationalism," vol. IL, p. 81, there
occurs a most remarkable passage in
which he pays a glowing tribute to
the beneficent influence of the Church
on the social conditions of medieval
times. The paragraph we refer to
is as follows: "The Catholic Church
was the very heart of Christendom,
and the spirit that radiated from her
penetrated into all the relations of
life and colored institutions it did not
create AS long as church is so
powerful as to form the intellectual
conditions of the age, to supply the
standing point from which every

SEATTLE BANKS CUT INTEREST AND MORTGAGES
 COME INTO DEMAND

The announcement of Seattle banks that the rate of interest on time deposits was to be reduced on July 1st. according to word from the Puget Sound metropolis, caused those with savings accounts to look about for an investment that will yield better returns than the new rate of interest will afford, and seven per cent. first mortgages are becoming more and more in favor as a solution of the problem.
 Mortgages have always been look led upon by banks, insurance com panies and experienced investors, as one of the safest and best forms of employment for funds Millions of dollars worth of mortgages are sold annually to these big companies, or made with their funds. In the east ern part of the States 4, ,, 5R and 6 per cent. is about the limit for safe interest-bearing securities. In the newer parts of the country, the rate averages about 2 per cent, with equal safety and certainty.
 The first mortgage is an ideal form of employment for amounts ranging from a minimum of S2OO up into the thousands. The security is. in the case of responsible invest. mentmortgage houses, more than ample to cover the amount of the mortgage, the interest is sure of payment and every safeguard die tated by experience is placed around the transaction to make absolute certain the interests of the investor
 One of the best-known investment houses in the Pacific Northwest is the Northern Bond & Mortgage Com pany of Seattle, John G. Price, Presi' dent. Mir Price is an old.time Al. askan with a wide acquaintance in the Territory He founded the Nor thern Bank & Trust Company of Seattle, built it up to a high state of efficiency and profitableness, and later incorporated the Northern Bond & Mortgage Company, which operates under his direct personal supervision, and includes among its officers and directors several other well known Alaskans. This company is advertising its investment ser vice to Alaskans and some very in teresting, instructive and attractive literature has been prepared for dis tribution, and which will be mailed on application

WHY ALL THE FUSS?

Candidate Hughes says he has talked the whole matter over with The Colonel and discovered that they are in complete accord on political issues and press gladness Recalling that The Coonel's los' tions have been well known must conclude that The Candidate agrees with The Colonel rather than The Colonel with The Candidate and that the G. O. p politicians are pleased to discover that The Col onel's ideas are prevailing. Then what has all this fuss been about anyhow? Why wasn't The Colonel nominated and Hughes left on the bench?
