from such affected minds. Not
six months have elapsed since we
have entered the conflict, and al
ready the vile reptiles that lay
hidden or dormant throughout
the country, have reared their
traitorous heads and have flashed
forth menacing fangs of poison
The unshorn herd already look up
with reverence and awe to Bene-
dict Arnold as their guide and
patron, and they have already
sought in many ways to embarrass
| the government that allows them
to live. Some of these despicable
creatures here and there have
risen openly in revolt; others
have piled their nefarious and in
| iquitous craft under the shadow
Of secrecy and stealth. There are
others, however, who, believing in
the strength begotten of unity,
have occasionally gathered to-
gether in conventicle, which they
dignity by the name of conven-
ton. Proclaiming allegiance to
no particular form of existing po-
litical parties, they make use of
the government S pre-occupation
IN other quarters as a pretext for
belching forth their socialistic
principles. Ostensibly, they aim at
guarding against some real or
imaginary economic evil; in real
ity, they are like the domestic in
vader who, with uplifted knife,
demands money and treasure from
the unfortunate householder who
losses on a bed of pain.
1t would be wise on the part Of
our people, nay, it is necessary,
that they examine closely and
calmly the claims made by the
various leaders, in these modern
assemblies, who look for adher-
ence and support. The fact that
here and there such conventions
try to dignity themselves with the
presence Of national statesman
should have absolutely no bearing
whatsoever on the real nature of
their principles. For we know
full well that America today har-
bors citizens who, in their day and
generation, were looked up to by
all men as fearless, uncompromis-
ing champions of the right. A
glance around us, however, at the
present moment will disclose not
a few fallen idols: men whose
voice formerly commanded atten-
ton from every thinking citizen
Of the Republic, but whose present
puerile, if not reasonable, utter
ances have branded them as blast
ed effigies Of their former selves.
Socialism in the past has made use
of every means possible to it's linn
tied vision in order to inoculate
men with the virus Of it's deadly
poison. The tenor of not a few of
these so-called conventions is dis
tinctly Socialistic, and our Cath
ollie people should ever remember
that whatever possible economic
betterment might or might not
follow from an application of such
principles, Socialism is today, al
ways has been, and probably al
ways will be directly, blatantly
and unreservedly opposed to the
Catholic religion.

many thanks.

October is the month dedicated
to the devotion of the holy rosary.
This practice reached the high
point of historical prominence in
the sixteenth century when it
was successfully used as weapon
against the devastating inroads
by the Turks into Eastern Europe.
1t would be well for Catholics to
again invoke the Queen Of the
Rosary that peace might be re-
stored to a distracted world.

Once in while Catholic ex-
change capitulates to the Protes-
tant view that Catholics, the
same as Protestants, should meet
and greet strangers in our
churches. Such editors appear to
forget that the Catholic Church
is the house of God, intended for
prayer and worship, whereas the
average non-Catholic church is
but mere meeting place in which
strangers and friends may be
greeted and entertained with per-
feet propriety.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

When economic depression
spreads throughout the length and
breadth of the land it is usual to
hear loud outcries against the
largest corporations of the coun-
try. On almost every occasion
the railroads seem to come in for
the largest share of abuse. It is
invariably said that both here and
abroad railway charges of various
kinds are eXorbitant, salaries are
small, and untold wealth, in the
form Of dividends, is yearly
poured in streams into the private
Golfers of the railway magnates.
1t is only fair, however, to listen
to the plea for justice from both
sides: it is the basis of justice to
condemn no one, unheard. Re
Gently we published an article on
the Right of the Wage Garner.
1t was written by Very Reverend
Prior McNabb, in the Liverpool,
England, Catholic Times. It pre-
sented, in the view of the writer,
the conditions as they obtain with
regard to the railways of the
United Kingdom. Fearing, how
ever, that it's conclusions might be
taken by our readers as typical of
conditions in the United States,
a distinguished leader in the rail
road world, Mr.. George T. Slade,
wrote an Illuminating article on
this subject which appeared in
our issue Of last week.
Mr.. Slade is First Vice-Presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company. He is not only a
shrewd and capable leader in his
chosen field, but is also thorough
ly versed In all those general con-
ditions which directly or indirect
ly affect the life and action OF
every railroad.
In the first place, Mr.. Slade,
relying upon authentic statistics,
points out the vast difference be-
tween conditions in the United
Kingdom and in the United
States. He admits unreservedly
the Leonine principle that 1.-THE
living wage should be the first
charge upon industry" He then
points out that the United King
dom has approximately 23,7OO
miles of railways, while in the
United States there are over 24S,-
600 miles of line. In the former
country the cost Of construction
per mile is placed at $275,59O,
while in the United States the
capital or cost Of construction per
mile is but $61, 1888.
Again, in the United Kingdom
the last available figures, for
1913, show an average compensa-
ton per railway employee OF
$364.17; whereas lin the United
States during last year the average
per railway employee was $859.O0-
Mr.. Slade then shows how even
this high average will be very
much exceeded this year because
of the recent increase made IN the
wages of all railway employees.
Hence it is clear that arguments
based upon conditions in the
United Kingdom cannot IN any
way be made applicable to condl-
tions in the United States.
Although, as he states, there
will be great increase in wages
this year, the following facts for
the year 1916 are enllghtenlng.
In that year freight engineers OF
the United States earned an aver
age Of 81, 1874, road passenger en-
gineers $50, los, road freight con-
ductors $1,000, road passenger

EDISON'S TASK NEAR END
Greatest War Mystery Is the Wizards
U-Boat Remedy.

Orange, n. J.-Here Is the Won
derful war mystery. More thrilling
than trench capture. More important
than wheat. More romantic than air
duels. More engrossing than these
and all the rest, because 1t is still a
mystery.
What is the mysterious, secret in
vention Edison, Americas wizard,
has perfected to destroy the U-boats.
This is the big question mark Of the
entire world war.
Here are the facts:
Almost a year ago II was widely
announced that Americas electric
genius had n marvellous scheme by
wh."h electric rays would set off ex-
plosive at great distance.
Severaf mOu:;ls ago a leading men,
ber OF the naval consulting board of
experts announced that American in
ventive genius was about to turn
against Germany "A mysterious de-
structive agent that would rid the
sea OF U-boats.
July IA Edison himself. In one of
his rare statements. issued to his
subordinates. said graphically: I'VE
now have all the rebelllous elemen nts
under control. Today will be remem-
bered as the time when we removed
the last jinx from the record"
A Way to Detect U-BOats.
July 20 the navy department per-
mitted the announcement that n de-
vice to detect U-boats ten miles away
was nearly perfected.
A high government official said
only a few days ago that Edison had
just completed a task that would
make him the greatest man in the
world.
The Westinghouse company. lead
ing makers of electric appliances. is
enlistinG one thousand men willing
to he absolutely locked in from the
outside world. holding no commune
cation with 1t, for ten months, max
ing war munitions"
Edison, white haired. had been
working for months. sixteen, eighteen,
twenty hours n day. in n veritable
frenZied debauch OF sleepless nights
and days. on the submarine problem
before he made his electrifying an
nouncement.
No government official will say a
word.
NpW-0TnA is tne conclusion
Was the announcement of the new
rays OF remarkable power somebody's
dream?
Was the naval consulting board ex-
pert either n liar or n maniac? The
board is not made up of that kind of
men. Furthermore, Edison's state
ment was not denied.
Did Edison boast wildly when he
said he had solved the last war puz-
Zle? Well-you can number one hun
drel magical inventions from Edi-
sons brain. Can you number one
boast?
Was the navy department talking
thru its hat when it said U-boats
were unmasked ten miles away?
May BE Like Wells Idea.
Is the high government official
who said Edison had finished a job
that would make him the worlds $
greatest man" crazy?
Is che Westinghouse company
turning itself into a prison because It
believes that will attract labor In
these times OF labor shortage?
Why doesn't some high official put
these speculations to rest by an Of
ficial denial of them all?
Isn't 1t plain that. instead OF moro
than the facts being revealed. there
