Not Associations Fault.
Speaking OF the orchestra we have

Meeting at Ownesboro, Ky, the
Kentucky state Federation Of Labor
passed a resolution demanding that
the distillers and brewers of the State
recognize organized labor in their

If the demand Is ignored the unions
will ask that there be a separation

be urged to enact such laws as will
sever these interests absolutely.

The situation in Catholic Holland is
very interesting just now. The Cath

country. The old leader of the anti
revolutionist party, DR.. Kuyper, Cal

cause the Catholic party in the cham

women. Dutch Catholics in general are
not in favor of votes for women, and
have made these concessions to obtain
the revision of the laws regarding re-
ligious teaching which appear as an
article in the constitution. The revi-
sion of the constitution will soon be
an accomplished fact. 1t will not,
however, be completed without a rup-
ture among the Christian parties. This
is considered pity by some, as Cath
olics and Protestants are agreed on
very many points. Recently in sew
cral diOceses priests have made
known from the pulpit that Catholics
who are members of Socialist or anar-
chist societies and who intend to re-
main such will not be granted absolu-
ton. There has been a great move
ment lately of the purely Catholic
workers syndicates, and the numbers
enrolled in these organizations in
crease daily. 1t can now be said that
more than half the Catholic workers
are today members of a Catholic or
ganization. The working classes and
the middle classes set splendid ex-
ample of orthodoxy and charity. 1t is
they who have taken in many of the
little famished children from the
countries engaged in war, and saved
the precious little lives to belligerents
on both sides.

CHURCHES DESTROYED
RECENT TOR ADO CAUSED
GREAT DAMAGE TO CHURCH
PROPERTY.

A message was received by Bishop
Alerding, of Fort Wayne, Ind. an.
nouncing the destruction at Krouts.

contents. The valuation is approx
mately $4,000. The destruction of the
church building was due to the recent
cyclone which swept over sections of
Indiana and Illinois.
The Catholic church, a general
store and several residences at Lind
sey, a town of $50 inhabitants, six
miles west of Gainesville, Tex, were
destroyed by a tornado on June 1.
No one was killed but several were
injured. Only the steeple of the
Catholic church was left standing.

Cheer Up the Soldiers
GOOD ADVICE TO THOSE WHO
ARE LEFT BEHIND.

"The sufferings and heartaches of
war are well known to be of those
who stay at home, of the mothers and
daughters and sweethearts of the
men who go to the war;" observes
the Catholic Messenger. In most
cases the soldier has left all his
troubles behind. Recognizing this
condition a movement has been in
augurated at some of the encamp-
ments in the South that calls upon
the mothers and daughters and sweet
hearts to relieve the soldier from the
usual worry of the home and so far
as they are able to cheer the men in
the army. They are advised not to
send sob letters and tell the soldier
boy that mother is sick, father
sprained his little finger and poor
little Johnny is down with the
measles They ask them instead to
write CHEEKY letters, which will keep
up his spirits, make him contented,
and therefore more efficient. This is
good advice. No matter what the con-
ditions at home are, the boy at the
front is unable to relieve them. 1t
takes heroism-and the heroism of
the mothers of soldiers has been the
grandest thing in the worlds history;
where they have hidden their tears at
partings, and buried their grief so far
as they could, and given their soldier
boy their prayers and their blessings
requirements throw it upon the
stay-at-homes and society that es-
capes the burden of service, to take
so far as they can the place of the
boy who has gone to the front and
supply SO far as they can the solace
and the comforts of which his service
to his country deprived them"

INDIANS WERE TREATED AS MIN

by Eber Cole Byam)
Part VII.

The Spanish Colonial authorities
wisely assumed the Mexican Indians
to be minors and they were treated as
such. The communal system was
recognized, and, in doing this, the In
dams were, because of their minority,
prohibited from selling their lands.
They were exempted from all tithes
or dues of any kind for religious serv-
ices, the clergy being paid from the
Crown Treasury.
The Indian was accustomed to an
agriculture extremely primitive, and
it was the earnest desire of the
Churchmen that this condition be i'm
proved The Indian had no domestic
animals, no plows, no iron tools of any
kind. He planted his corn by jabbing
hole in the ground with a pointed
stick, and carried the harvest to his
home or. market on his back. The
Spanish King endeavored, to the ex-
tent of his resources, to supply the
necessary tools for the Indian to work
with, and to supply as many families
as possible with a COW and horse, or
a donkey, and a pig. Plows and oxen
were secured and distributed as far
as possible, and the Indian was in
structed in the management of all
this complicated machinery by the mis-
siOnarieS, who labored assiduously to
bring him up to the industrial stand
ard of the times. The Indian was, and
is, not only passively opposed to any
change, but is congenitally averse to
labor as such, and it was against this
inertia that the devoted missionaries
were compelled to strive.

they were faced with the superhuman
task of administering the sacraments
to widely-scattered communities num-
bering many thousands of families,
and in addition were charged with the
duty of accustoming them to an irk-
some industry and the use of instru-
ments whose care was a constant re-
minder to the Indian of what he con
sidered unnecessary and wasted Ia
Dor. Successful results demanded
constant vigilance on the part of the

them over the mountain districts
without roads to villages scattered
over a radius of sometimes more than
fifty miles.
The Spanish Government also order
ed that provision be made to teach
the Indians to read and write, and
printed cards were supplied for this
purpose. The missionaries selected
promising youths from the different
villages, and these were educated and
sent home with the injunction to
teach their fellows. Unfortunately,
many of them not only failed to obey
the injunction but themselves forgot
what the missionaries had laboriously
taught them. The introduction of do
nestle animals among the Indians
also met with Indifferent success, be-
cause the Indian expects these crea-
lures to shift entirely for themselves.

SAYS DOES MORE
THAN IS CLAIMED
A Strong Testimonial for
Plant Juice BY a Well
Known Washington Lady.

Science and philanthropy are doing
much for the disease-ridden of the
future. Plant Juice, the new herbal
stomach remedy, has done more for
the ills of today, and thousands have
willingly testified to the truth of this
statement, for in the discovery OF
Plant Juice, and the consequent use
and benefits received by a multitude
who have suffered from stomach, liv-
er and kidney troubles, IL has proven
itself q real friend to humanity.
The kind OF proof which is convinc-
ing and that is daily adding thousands
to the already great number who use
Plant Juice when in a condition OF
i'll health, are the statements OF local
people who have given it q fair trial
and have been greatly benefited there
by.
Take for instance, the statement of
Mrs. Bertha Edwards, who resides
at No. lOl Pennsylvania avenue, and
is well known Washington lady.
She said:
II have suffered with stomach trou-
BILE for over year; all the food that
l ate fermented in my stomach and
caused gas to form: / could never
get a good nights sleep and felt weak
and all played out, after every meal
i suffered agony from the gas in my
system: l had headaches and blind
staggers, and the perspiration would
stand out on me In drops; / had bad
olLzy Spells on account OF my llYef
being out of order, and was so bad
at times that l would have to sit
up all night long, and thought was
going to die. Ny entire system was
run down and my friends became
alarmed about me, looked so bad;
was so cOnstipated I had to resort to
some kind of a laxative all the time,
which did me no permanent good.
had read and heard so much about
your Plant Juice that decided to give
IL trial 1t certainly does more
than Is claimed for IL, for now / am
able to eat my meals and enjoy them,
l sleep well, and am not so nervous:
have no more dizzy spells or blind
staggers, and my bowels are in
good condition. / feel as II was

too much in praise OF this great medi
cine. 1 shall recommend It wherever
