CATHOLICS URGED TO
VOTE FOR CHURCH
and HOLY PRINCIPLES

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Catholic
voters throughout the United States
were urged, at mass meeting of the
German Roman Catholic Central We're
in here tonight. TO unite and cast their
influences at the polls where it will
best subserve the high and holy prin-
ciples" for which Catholics stand.
James F. Zipf. President of the Gen
zaga Union of St. Louis, who made
the appeal, declared there were as
least 100000 Catholic voters in the
country-quite force" he said for
the bringing about of proper condi-
tons"
That" Mr.. Zipf added. sis almost
as many votes as the Republican party
poled at the last general election.
That very number places IN our hands
a power to be used in works Of social
civic betterment, in works OF mercy
and of peace. When the Catholic arm
is uplifted let it be for constru ction
always, but never for destruction
I'VE must be so organized" he de-
clared, and under such leadership
that upon on occasions we speak forci.
bly, as one man and say to the black
hand of religious moderation, hypo-
crisy and hatred. thou shalt not enter
here: so far shalt thou go and no
further.

RAILROAD STRIKE
Continued from First 9age.)

Thus the actual position Of the con-
ference committee and Of the presi-
dents above them is that on lines
where the men are not strong enough
to force a hearing there is nothing to
arbitrate,' while on lines where cost
~ contest could be precipitated, arb!-
tration becomes the dearest principle
connected with the settlement Of in
duStrial strife.
1t might be pertinent at this time
TO refer to the fact that the confer
ence committee of managers and their
supporters have excluded the army Of
colored brakemen and fremen en-
ployed on the southern railways from
all benefits that might be granted in
these negotiations or from all arbitra-
tons that might arise. Are they. or
are they not sntitled to their day in
court
Likewise the white fremen en-
ployed on those lines where the negro
predominateS. Why is he excluded
from the benefits Of this benefCient
plan of arbitration?
Also. tho hostlers. on eighteen of
the leading properties that are rep
resented by the conference committee?
If arbitration is so desirable why will
those companies not grant that boon
10 those men?
The extreme solicitude on the part
Of rhe railway presidents for the
eighty percent of unorganizcd EN-
ployes and their rights becomes farci-
cal when it is expected that on large
number Of those lines it is dis
chargeable offense on any of their
railways for that so per cent TO take
any steps toward organizing for the
purpose o. bettering their wages or
working conditions"

REVENUE BILL
CONTINUED from First Page.)

under existing laws, is SI62 900, 900,
or $S.n3T 300 more than the estimated
normal disbursements, making 1t clear
that, but for the extraordinary in
crease in the appropriation for the
naval and military establishments
which have been thought expedicnt
and necessary. the normal receipts
would be sufficient to pay the eX'
penses Of the government forS7 tho
year and leave a surplus Of over S.
100000 in the treasury. just as the re-
ceipts for the year. 1916 (bcfore we
entered upon this preparedness pro-
gram and before the Mexican situa-
ton developedt. actually yielded a
sufficient revenue to pay the expenses
of the government and left a surplus
in the treasury OF S55,2Io,0On.
The Bond Issue.
SubtractinE from the estimated dis
hursements the estimated receipts for
1917, the Senator showed that the
balance to be provided for is 1884,
243.000. To meet this amount he sub
mitted that the pending bill would
raise S205, 900: the bond issue,
$3.50, 100000, leaving a balance Of $685.
243 900 to be taken care of by the gen
eral fund Of the treasury, which lie
said amounted to $134,331, S95 on Au-
gust Is. last.
Referring to the proposed s1S0.000.-
900 bond issue for Mexican eXpendi-
lures. Senator Simmons said Panama
bonds could be used to reimburse the
treasury, and added that up TO this
time the Democratic party had issued
no Panama Canal bonds, whereas the
Republicans, during the Roosevelt and
Taft administrations. sold Sl34,OqO,-
900 worth.
Senator Smoot asserted that the
Democratic party had not kept tho
pledges of rctrenchmeut and economy
and charged it with "wasteful and use
less expenditures too long for enum-
Grafton"
IF we could bring the Democratic
party into a court of justice and indict
and try that party under the rules Of
law" said the Utah Senator. the CYL:
dence that il Is TO be submitted would
be more than adequate 10 convict 1t Of
procuring votes under false nretense
Unfortunately we can have no trial
under the rules Of law. but. which ia
undoubtedly better. we shall have a
trial before tho great tribunal OF the
American people, whose verdict VIII
be given as impartially as ever was
given by jury Of twelve good men
and true. and we shall know Oh the
eighth Of Novernber whether. in the
opinion Of the jury Of iuries. this
Democratic party has kent its economy
pledge in office as zealouSly As 1t re-
lied upon that pledge during the cam
paign.
1T is yet too early to say what will
be the exact amount Of the total ap-
preparations of the first session Of The
sixty fourth congress. but the estimate
is now s1.7O0. 900 900. which will be at
the rate OF $4,000, 100000 for the en-
tire congress or over a billion dollars
more than the last Republican con-
grass appropriated.
Senator Curtis predicted -four or
five deficiency appropriations before
the year 1917 is over, advocated a re-
turn to the protective tariff and de-
clared the Republican party was "op.
posed to war tax in time OF peace.
