HOG IS HOG, BUT

Very few of us blame the farmer for the high cost of living. As matter of fact we hardly ever think of such things but invariably blame either the wholesaler or the mlddleman and how we do give it to them. Sometimes they deserve to get it but not always.
 An Eastern paper says that an agriculaurlst reports that cost of production of potatoes this year has ranged from $97 to S135 an acre, with yields ranging from 80 to 450 bushels an acre. The present ruling price received by the farmers near New York is S1.50 bushel The man who spent S135 an acre and secured the top yield nets $540 an acre over cost of production, or four times the money he laid out
 The average farmer raising potatoes for the market is getting 200 or 250 bushels to the acre, or $500 for the S135 he spent in production. He is thus netting from S71a to S1 bushel on his crop. A Kansas agriculturist has computed the ordinary profit to the farmer on a bushel of wheat sold at the government price of S2.20 to be from 70 to o9 cents a bushel over production. Yet we sympathize with the farmers. We'll, it may be true that only hog can be hog, but there are farm CTS who come pretty near being hogs also.

VERY STRANGE.

Nearly every paper issued by the food ad- ministration contains something abcnt the nee essity of saving flour for Europeans and eating cornmeal mush at home, or something like that. Mir. Hoover says our allies do not find cornmeal as palatable as four and adds that they do not understand it's preparation.
 Now it strikes us very peculiar that the allies cannot take written or printed recipe for mush and make mush. Their dislike for mush has nothing to do with us. There are many things that we don't like either; such as digging down our pockets to pay our taxes due to the war. and wheatless; meatless and potatoless days and pay the barber two prices for haircut :; but we take our medicine without turning up our noses.
 Since the war began. Europeans have learned good many things; can they not, by assiduous ap- plicaton to a matter of vital importance to us with recipe in their hands. learn how to make and eat mush?

WHAT THEY WANTED.

Now that the federal board commission specially appointed to investigate the strikes all over the country has about completed the work we learn that the striking miners in Arizona de manded $6. wages for six-hour day work, with the idea of securing ultimately two-hour day with, of course, $6 pay. They had also other grievances and demands. One of them was, it is said the abolition of the carbide lamp very useful, economical sanitary means of illumina' tion of ones work. The objection to the lamp has caused suspicion that it has esomething to do with the old custom of taking home pocket ful of candles As unreasonable as this may ap- pear, we need not wonder if we consider the class of men who caused the trouble. We need not be surprised at anything where the I. w. w are concerned.

THE KNIGHTS ABROAD.

The appointment of Walter n.
Herman, as Knights of Columbus
Commissioner with the American
Overseas Army, should be crafty
ing to every Catholic in this coun-
try. First, it shows the tremen-
dous strides the Catholic people of
the United States are taking in the
way of military welfare work
through their chosen representa-
tives, the Knights Of Columbus.
Secondly, it shows that the spirit
Of the Old Faith burns strong, and
that those to whom it is a precious
heritage are still willing to make
heroic sacrifices that it's work may
go on in accordance with the Di-
vine Will of Him Who said: eco
forth and teach all nations. =
Mr.. Herman is a man Of big af-
fairs-a man who holds one of the
most important railroad positions
in this country and who, in ac-
cepting this appointment for
which he is not to receive one
cent of salary-has been compelled
to resign as vice-president and
general counsel of the New York
State Railways and Mohawk Val
ley Company. He is but one Of
several prominent business men
who are making a like sacrifice
that this good work may go on,
and we rejoice that such a won
derful spirit of unselfish devotion
is asserting itself in this time of
national calamity.
The Catholic Church has not
been unmindful of the welfare of
the American soldier in this coun-
try, and it must not be unmindful
of his welfare abroad. Mr.. Ker-
nan is to establish offices in Paris,
and the time, is not far distant
when the recreation buildings of
the Knights of Columbus which
means the recreation buildings of
the Catholic Church, will be dotted
over war=torn France just as to-
day they are to be found through
out the length and breadth Of the
United States, where our soldiers
have been called to the colors.

Sufferings Of the Poles
A NEW DIVISION or POLAND WILL
BE MADE-PRIEsTs LABOR
INDEFATIGABLY.

The dual monarchy is shortly to be-
come triple monarchy, for Germany
and Austria have arrived at a new
solution of the Polish question. Ger
many is taking one-tenth of Russian
Poland to rectify her strategic
frontiers; the remainder of Russian
Poland is to be joined to Galicia and
handed over to the control of Austria,
the present young Emperor being pro-
claimed King Charles of Poland. 1t is
hoped that the presence of a Catholic
king, with the reunion of Austria and
Russian Poland, may placate the
Poles, whom it is also hoped to add to
the Austrian army All the deputies,
representing Galicia, will quit the
Reichsrath to join new Polish par
lament, in which the Bishops will
have seats.
This departure, by the way, will
give the German party in the Austrian
parliament an absolute majority. The
present condition of Poland is ter.
rible in the extreme. People are fall
ing and dying of starvation in the
streets of Warsaw There is an cpl
demic of typhus, the hospitals are
overcrowded and all the population
receive to eat is 100 grammes of bad
bread and three-quarters of litre OF
ksoup made with vegetables. The
priests, who are indefatigable in visit
ing the sick and dying, dread the win
ter for their unhappy people. 1t is
noticeable in this war that it is the
Catholic peoples who are suffering the
most.

READY TO CRITICIZE.

According to press dispatches,
the French Government has sup
pressed Catholic paper, La Libre
Parole. We do not know the
nature of the charges which the
authorities brought against that
paper. What we do know is that
La Llbre Parole has always posed
as a Catholic paper, although it
was reactlonary in politics. 1t
was ever ready to carp at a Re-
publican form of government and
at everything that savored of Re-
publlcanism. When the action of
the Government was announced
the Catholic papers of this country
Immediately raised the cry that
the French Government was again
prosecuting the Church. Although
the antecedents of La Libre Parole
do not make us see any opposition
against the Church, and the paper
may therefore be considered a
Catholic publication; still it is
quite possible that in it's policy Of
attacking things Republican the
paper may have overstepped the
bounds of discretion.
There is no doubt that the
French Government for the past
few years has been far from being
immaculate in dealing with the
Catholic Church. 1t is not fair,
however, either to that govern
ment or to the Church in France
to criticize the action Of the gov
eminent when it denounces Cath
Ole paper for on article which the
Government considers as an attack
upon itself 1t is not necessary to
look beyond the confines Of our
own country for a similar ex-
ample. About six months ago an
article appeared in one of our
esteemed Catholic contemporaries
in this country. The United States
Government considered the article
as smacking of disloyalty, and the
publication of this paper was sus-
pended for several weeks. No one
at the time, not even the writer of
the article, thought of condemn
ing our Government ON the score
that it had attacked the Catholic
Church. All concerned realized
that nothing was further from the
mind Of the administration in
Washington than an attack upon
the Church. Generally it may be
observed that our Catholic pa
pers in the United States are more
touchy on these questions which
concern the Church in France
than are the French Catholic pa
|pers and the Bishops themselves.
1t may safely be said that it does
not help the cause of religion to
be always ready to attack the Gov
eminent on every occasion; for
there are times when decisions OF
the Government are aimed at indi-
vidual persons or actions, and not
at the whole body to which these
persons may belong.

working for another. In every
case individual liberty is the basis
of citizenship in free country.
Workingmen' S unions may be
good or bad according to the OBJ
ject which they have in view, or
to the motives which actuate their
leaders and members in ordering
or In conducting a strike.
Even where a strike may be
considered lawful from every
standpoint, it is never permissible
to use violence against persons or
property. Violence against prop
erty is nothing more or less than
reckless theft and is directly OPP
posed to the fundamental basis of
all order and discipline. Violence
against persons on such occasions
becomes unjust assault, and the
striker in such a case.is simply an
unjust aggressor The injustice
of the aggression justifes the per-
son attacked in defending himself
to the full extent. of his ability,
with the result that injuries and
deaths that may ensue from such
encounters are traceable directly
to the guilty parties-the unjust
laggressors and the strikers.
With regards to the merits or
dement's Of the present contro-
versy it is not our place to take
sides with either party to the
issue. The disgraceful scenes Of
last Saturday night, however, are
to be most emphatically con-
demned. Rioting and the destruc-
ton of property which then took
place are the product Of the basest
and most elemental passions Of
depraved natures. It makes no
difference what the provocation
may be thought to have been:
such scenes are entirely out of
place in civilized community.
For many years Americans have
been wont to protest vigorously
at barbarities and atrocities in
China, Russia, Belgium, and other
lparts Of the world. Every report
of so-called foreign barbarism has
evoked vigorous protest from
American uprightness.
But we ourselves in this country
have been living in a house Of
glass. The abominable exhibitions
that we have given in this country
l-lynching, shooting of negroes,
rioting and bloodshed-all have
been seen through the walls of
glass that surround our national
domicile. Every such outbreak
points to a re-awakening of print
tive instincts that writer's are ac-
customed to ascribe to the cave
men. Such outbursts mark the
return to a lower order of exist
ence, and place a blot upon the
shield of American liberty. Any
man who poses as a leader in any
such riotous disturbances should
be Immediately and summarily
dealt with according to the sever
est penalties of the severest laws.

Newspapers in the Hungarian
capital discuss the Austro-Hun-
garian and German replies to
Pope Benedict in appreciative
tones. The "Pester Lloyd" re-
CARDS the answers as showing that
humanity after three years of
world war is resolutely anticipat-
ing developments which otherwise
would have required generations.
The newspaper adds: Anyone
who a few years ago had limited
as a most distant possibility that
great military states like Austria
Hungary and Germany, after in
disputably gigantic military sue
cesses, would declare a readiness
to reorganize their foreign policy
on the fundamental ideas Of the
most radical pacifst, would have
been ridiculed as an incurable
fool and a Utopian.'

THE IRISH PRISONERS
SlNN FEINERS IN PRISON QUIT
HUNGER STRIKE.

A dispatch to the Central News
from Dublin says:
las a result of the decision of the
privy council to make special regula-
tions concerning the treatment of
prisoners in Ireland under the de-
tense of the realm act, by which it is
understood they will be treated like
informed prisoners, the Sim Feiners
have ceased their hunger strike"
The death in Dublin of Thomas
Ashe, Sim Fem leader, reported to
have been due to voluntary starva-
ton, according to dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Dublin, has accentu-
ated painfully the difficulties under
lying the surface of Irish politics and
Sim Fem opinion is infamed seri-
ously. Ashes body, dressed in the
uniform of the Irish volunteers, lay
in state in Dublin hospital and there
was a public funeral. 1t is said that
other Sim Fein leaders in the hos
pital prison where Ashe died are in a
dangerous condition
At the inquest into the death Of
Ashe, Professor McMeeney testified
that the post norton examination, at
which several other doctors were
present, showed that Ashe did not die
of hunger. The body was not ENACT
ated and there was an abundance of
food in the stomach. Death, he said,
was due to syncope, arising partly
from heart trouble and partly from
an intense congestion of the lungs.
Ashes heart, he added, was abnormal
and he would be apt to succumb to
any sudden shock or prolonged strug-
gle.

A "lady"-save the mark i

the public about it. From all &C
counts the affair was an expensive
