Remember Charles S. Mellen? Of
course. Before Morgan took him
East to manage the New Haven road
he Nas prominent in railroad circles
in the Northwest. After the New
HaYen had been looted in approved
Wall street fashion, Mellen retired as
the scapegoat for the sin which had
been committed.
After, several years of silence ne
has. given a rather unusual interview
to the press. He declares that the
solution Of the railroad problem is
"fost the government to. own the
roads exclusively as it does the post.

How is the country going to take
Wilson's message to the railroad
shopmen? These men asked a wage
adjustment to correspond with the
increase in the cost of living since
the last adjustment was made. Will
son offers them an increase of cents
an hour but asks that they postpone
anything further until the return of
normal times.
This much is certain, that once
again in, a crisis he has appealed to
those least able to sacrifice for sacri-
flee. Two years ago he appealed to
the wheat farmers in the same way
and the big interests not only avoid
eds sacrifice but piled up great pro-
fits. Why should the people who
have nothing be asked to hold the
sack /?
The producers news., 1919-09-05

Mra Mellen puts much of the blame
for r6the high cost of living on the
middlernen. He says that SO per
cent Of the population are outside of
frst-hand production. Some work
hard for a living and some are mere
barnacles. And he tells little story
from personal experience which any
farmer can appreciate. He has raised
10 acres of celery and asked the COM
mission men how much they would
give for it. The reply was 1 cent a
bunch, although the retailers at that
time were asking 25 cents a bunch.
He aieft the celery in the ground.

immense, fortunes viii be left to the

A great many judges haven't learn
ed that before the people can be gull
tya of contempt of court the court
must be above contempt. There is no
merit in respecting man or an In
stitution operating under false pre-
lenses. Editor Leech of the Memphis
fTenn.) Press exposed the corrupt
political conditions in his city and
showed how the courts were backing
the gang politicians. He did not men,
ton any names, but local Judge
decided that the shoe fit himself pref
ty well and the editor was railroaded
to Jail in the fashion familiar to
those who know the tricks open to
crooked men in high places.
The case has attracted nationwide
attention because if it is allowed to
stand it means that newspapers may
not criticize a court no matter how
bad the court may be. John M. Baer,
the Nonpartisan league congressman,
has asked for congressional investi-
cation of it.
At one time a Young lawyer was
objecting to some unfair rulings by
the court, and the judge said: 'Sir,
are you trying to show contempt for
this court - And the young man, who
saw his case was hopelessly preiudiced
replied. Your honor, | am trying
hard to conceal my contempt for this
court. !, -

The president implies that great
things are being done to bring down
prices After two weeks Of delay our
house of Representatives has amend
ed the food control act to give a lit
tie power over rank profiteering. The
senate hasn't acted yet and even if
it does this food control act goes out
of force soon after peace is signed.
Hence the signing Of peace, which
Wilson declares will have great ef-
feet on prices, will automatically free
the market profteers.
Both Republicans and Democrats
are operating on the theory that re-
construction could take care of it,
self. What they do to the contrary
is political froth to keep from doing
anything contrary to this policy. The
people will be called on for continu-
Gus and greater sacrifices so long as
they submit to political machine rule.

SOULS IN PURGAToRY.

The following is the text of the off,
cial decree (S. Cong. S. Off, June 25,
1910 by Our late Holy Father, Pope
Plus x, of happy memory, which was
one of the last issued during his reign.
Our Holy Father, Plus X, by Divine
Providence, Pope, in audience granted
to the Rev. Father Assessor of the
Holy Office, in answer to the prayers
of many, especially of the Right Rev
erend Ordinaries, that the Holy Souls
in Purgatory might benefit more, fully
from the prayers zsof the faithful~.on
All Souls Day, graciously comedies
that on the second of November of
each year, the faithful having confess
ed their sins and received Holy Com
munion worthily, may gain Plenary
Indulgence applicable to the souls In
Purgatory, as often as they visit a
church or a public Or semi-public ora
tory, and there pray for the dead and
for the intention of the Holy Father.
The present Decree to be valid forever

D. Card. Ferrata, Sec.

According to the terms of this con-
cession:
Cd The indulgences are to be ap-
piled for the dead.
(2) The visits can be made not only
to any church whatever, or any public
oratory, but even to a semi-public ora
tory, such as that in College, Con-
vent, hospital, Jail, orphanage, etc.
90 Confession and Holy Communion
should be made beforehand.
(4) The time for making the visits
is November 2. -s
1t is to be hoped that many Catholics
will avail themselves of this privilege
of gaining many plenary. indulgences,

lie soldiers who have already been
hurried into eternity with little time

MESSAGE TO AMERICA
HOLY FATHER REGARDS COUN-
TRY AS PROMISING FIELD FOR
RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES.

Looking to America as a promising
field for the development of religious,
moral and charitable principles, the
Holy Father has sent a message to
the people of this country through the
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, the Most Rev. John Bonzano,
D. D., who returned to this country
on October L..
His excellency arrived in New York
on board the Italian liner II Duca
d'Aosta. He was met by Archbishop
Dougherty, Archbishop Hayes. and
Bishop Walsh of Trenton There was
also number of other prelates and
priests present.
The Apostolic Delegate said that
His Holiness in his message extended
his blessing to the hierarchy, the
clergy and the laity Of the United
States. The following is the Holy
Fathers message: .--
Many are looking to the United
States as the center of commercial
industrial, economic and material in
terests. We consider America, in
stead, as a promising field for the de-
velopment of religious, moral and
charitable principles. Considering
the Importance of the United States
the realization of our hopes and de
sires would bring the entire world an
immense benefit"

as far as possible members of the
council who have had experience in
teaching or in school management"
to make careful survey of the local
field to determine what courses are
