Olympia is to have its first circus

esty, declares that all who have ever
seen the spectacle concede it is 1.-The
most sensational tented organization

the confidence. respect and admira-
ton Of the public have been won by
the AL G. Barnes circus, because they
have been given just what they were

ticket wagon, with corps of ticket
sellers to wait on you.

lutely free. No contributions per-

33 of whom were married. Manager

SPOKANE DEMOCRAT SAYS
OIL CANNOT WIN AGAIN
Hell Never Go Back" is Eastern
Washington Attorneys
Comment.

F. Conrad Robertson of Spokane,
former assistant United States dis
trics attorney, prominent in Demo-
cratic politics since statehood and
now one Of the best known attorneys
in the West in labor controversies,
is strenuously opposed to charging
tho Fifth congressional district with
responsibility for the attitude of
Representative c. c. Dill in oppos-
ing President Woodrow Wilson's war
policies.
Dill is the only Democrat in the
Washington congressional delegation,
but, together with Representative w.
L. LaFollette of Pullman, he spoke
and voted against both the declara-
ton Of war against the imperial Ger
man government and the war re-
cruiting program of the administra-
ton. A recent Spokane mass meet
ing, with but four dissenting votes,
adopted a resolution prepared by
Robertson which severely arraigned
Representative Dill.
II am q Democrat, rather indie
pendent in my actions" Robertson
said in an interview in Seattle the
other day. But I deny that Dill rep
resents either the Democracy or the
sentiment of his district. Both he and
Representative LaFollette, our two
eastside congressman, have wilfully
misrepresented our people. AS a
Democrat and resident Of his dis
trict ! am chiefly concerned over
Dill.
"Oh, he'll never 60 pack, but the
reflection upon the patriotism of his
district already has been cast. Sen
timent in Spokane is so strongly
against him that I doubt whether he
could obtain a respectful hearing in
his own defense. l doubt whether he
has the courage to seek to make a
speech in Spokane now.
THE Democrats on the Westside
who have to bear share OF the bur-
den because Dill is the only Demo-
crat from this state and he is not
supporting the president, may be as
sured that he will not be returned

The Catholic College for the Catholic Boy

over block of marble to bring out
the lines of beauty latent in it, or over
some fragment of translucent stone
to bring out the fire and the flash of
it, with what joy and patience should
they not devote themselves to wax
ing every power that slumbers in the
soul, bringing the mind into contact
with the best the world has thought
and felt in all the ages, and leading
it into the grand inheritance of human
ity which has been purchased by the
toll and thought of countless genera
tons.
And yet these are not the reasons
that most powerfully influence our
Catholic people in sending their boys
to higher Catholic institutions of
learning
The chief aim of education is the
formation of character. To prepare
men for life-this is the supreme pur-
pose of the college. The great object
OF education, says Emerson, should be
commensurate with the object of life.
There is no parent who does not wish
above all to see his boy grow up man
ly and modest and reverent, loyal and
courteous and truthful, bearing with
him into his manhood all that is sweet
est in childhood, loving honor as he
loves life itself, faithful with lifelong
allegiance to his religion, and ever
shaping his course by the high and
holy law of Heaven. These are the
fruits of training that parents most
covet for their children, and without
them mere aptitudes for working
problems would be travesty on edu-
cation. But these things are the spe-
cial appanage of religion, and without
religion they cannot be fostered.
Without religion knowledge may be
power for evil; it is possible to have
an excellent grasp of science and liter
allure and to have but slight hold
on whatever things are good and true
and pure. Indeed, knowledge without
an enlightened conscience to direct
it's use may be a formidable weapon
for evil. Now morality is simply re-
ligion in practice. 1t is religion alone
that can furnish the ideals that the
mind must have, and the motive power
that the will must have, and the
authority that the conscience must
have. Beautiful generalities which
are offered as motives are but sorry
substitute for religion. The Catholic
Church is the one great school of
virtue the world has known-the only
school that can appeal to the magma
ton and stir the will and warm the
heart and illumine the conscience
the only school that can offer the com
plete ideal of virtue in the life of One
Who, on the lowliest plane of human
ity, showed men how to live human
lives divinely. 1t is because the
Church is the school of virtue that
parents entrust their children to the
hands of it's teachers. In doing so
they show that they know what edu-
cation in the highest sense of the
word means, and give proof that they
love their religion and the souls of
the children committed to their care.

Peace is a great blessing of God.
Though Heaven is to be taken only
by violence, and though mans life
on earth is continual warfare, the
moments of peace that come into
every human soul lead to spiritual
refreshment, a better understanding
of the divine mercy, and afford the
rest necessary to give us strength for
renewed battle in the time of tempta-
ton.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 6.--Jack Barry,

club as successor to Bill Carrigan, re-
tired. Carrigan's brightest pupil and
field general, who played ell his pro-
fessional baseball under Connie Mack
before coming to Boston thru purchase,
will be the only player manager extant
in the American league.
After Bill Carrigan telephoned his
final mo" yesterday to Harrison NJ.
Frazee, one of the two new owners of
the team, Barry was the only player
considered as Bills successor. Frazee
telephoned to him at Worcester last
night and Barry arrived this noon for a
conference.
There was no doubt after they began
comforting that Barry would be the next
manager, but Barry himself withheld
his acceptance until he had gone home
and told Mrs Jack. He feared some
what to accept because Of the possible
effect the responsibility of handling a
team Of championship caliber would
have on his playing ability, but, as was
expected, accepted.
What the terms of his agreement
with Frazee are Is kept secret by both
sides. Frazee did announce, however.
that he would let Barry choose the
length of his contract. Baseball fol-
lowers guessed that the salary would
be around $4,000 year, basing their
surmise on what he received as play

Despite the damaging evidence coll

'olice so far admit they have no fur

This lack Of information. the detectives
said today, forces a continuance OF an
lement Of mystery in the case. Cou-
pied to this Is the lack Of a known mo-
tive.
The detectives say they were in
ormed late last night that an automo-
bile accessory dealer will produce a
woman today who was with Maize
Colbert on the night preceding the
murder and heard the model on the
elephone with Lewis. who was at
hotel. Miss Colbert refused to meet
the man at first but later an appoint

also stated that this woman can show
that Lewis ana the model met at an
Ahow held here year ago.
Marie Collins. an intimate friend OF
Miss Colbert, told Captain Of Detect

speak OF Lewis, altho she was ac-
quainted with every man that had ever
visited her chum.
