REPORTS OF CROP DAMAGE
BOOST COTTON PRICES
Most Contract Months Rose Above the
Levels They Attained In Pre-
viouS Week.
IBy Associated Pres,.1


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-The slim
ulating influence of a good spot de-
mand and moro crop damage through
adverse weather sent tie price of cot
ton to new high levels last week, most
contract months rising above the
levels they attained last week. while
spot prices were sent to high records
which were only exceeded in war
times. when cotton production in the
South almost ceased. III this market,
as we'll as at a few points in the in
terror there were spot transactions at
as high prices as Is cents pound.
The most interesting transaction in
this market was the sale of the first
ginning of the Panthcrburn Plantation
crop. amounting to 500 bales, 75 cents
Il pound. or about 1000 points on jan
nary. This cotton was about inch and
hve-siStcenths staple, and averaged
strict middling in grade, and was sold
for shipment to New England mills
In the contract market, December on
Wednesday rose to 1880 Spots at
inc tneir ,, highest were quoted at 80 cents
Tor middlinx. Tie week closed at net
gains OF 92 to 126 points on contracts.
Weather and crop reports of the
week were uniformly bad, and the
governments report on condition to
NAL crop made new low record. This
coming week weather conditions vii
be more important than ever. for there
is much cotton in the fields in the
central and western portions OF the
belt. and more rain on it would be
disastrous. Because Of recent rains
picking has been at standstill in
some sections of the western belt.
More rain would stimulate the demand
for contracts to n marked extent.
A great interest will be taken in the
fourth ginning report OF tic season,
due Saturday, from the Census Bureau
and carrying the crop down to the
first OF the month. Before the week is
very old private estimates OF the gin
ming output will probably appear. and
they are likely to have considerable
influence in the trading because OF full
ginning in the third period, in the face
of scarcity of labor and adverse
weather conditions. Should the GIN
ming be found TO have continued full
in the fourth period. somewhat
easier feeling regarding the size OF
the crop will probably gain ground.
although some experts are beginning
to warn the trade that large ginning
now. under the stimulus of high
prices. must be at the expense OF the
output later on.

KING ALFONSO
SPANISH MONARCH SENDS FLOW
ERS TO OUR LADYS ALTAR.

King Alfonso of Spain, in his recent
visit to Paris, France, gave chivalrous
evidence of his deeply rooted piety
and of his tender devotion to the
Blessed Mother.
During his stay at the French me-
tropolis, one day His Majesty received
in his private apartment at the Hotel
Maurice a committee Of Partisan flor
lists, bevy of young men and young
women, who presented him with a rich
and rare collection of artistic and gor-
geous garlands, wreaths and bouquets
of sweet fragrant flowers.
The Spanish monarch was deeply
touched by that spontaneous and love-
ly token of respect and courtesy The
precious floral offerings were sent by
the pious king to the Spanish Mission
Church on the Rue de la Pompe; and,
in compliance with his wishes, they
were placed on the altar of the
Blessed Virgin.

A LOURDES SHRINE
WONDERFUL CURES TAKE PLACE
IN LONDON.

There has been quite a sensation in
the daily press regarding the many
miraculous cures effected after inter-
cession to Our Lady of Lourdes at her
shrine at a Dockhead Church in the
East End of London, where a replica
of the Grotto of Lourdes was erected
some years ago, as the gift of lady,
who had been cured at the original
shrine. The latest cure is that of a
child with a club foot Several others
are known. Canon Murnane himself
was saved from deaths door after a
night spent in prayer at the shrine by
the majority of his parishioners; and
his brother, Father Murnane, was
cured of a cancer after intercession
at the same spot. Non Catholics, and
even some Catholics, are surprised
that this is effected at replica of
Lourdes, but they are thus reminded
of the Personality, which is as near
London as the original shrine in the
Pyrenees.

PROTESTANT FRIENDS OF
IRELAND.

In spite Of the specific declara-
ton Of the Little Six from Ulster,
led by an NJ. P. Coote, that their
mission was not at all sectarian,
and that religion played no part
in their plans while here, there is
much evidence to the contrary.
Thus, the New York World Of
November 30, under a London
date line, prints the following:
"Lord Beaverbrook; who runs
the Daily Express, is understood
to be responsible for sending the
deputation to Ulster Presbyterian
pastors, which is now Ell route to
America, to stir up the anti-Cath-
Ollie feeling, which ON his return
from New York he proclaimed in
the columns Of his paper as the
surest way Of turning American
sympathy with Ireland into antag-
onism.'
Mr.. Lindsay Crawford, presi-
dent of the Protestant Friends of
Ireland, quotes Beaverbrook as
follows:
1.-The Methodist Church, in any
case regards a politico-religious
crusade. preached by the Irish with
small favor, but it might take no
practical action on the other side

allow a steadfast mind to falter in
the following thereof.
When Newman knelt humbly at
the feet of an Italian Passionist on
mission duty in England, he made
complete and irrevocable submits
sion to the authority of Peter.
His act was the model for a host
Of learned and sincere men who
took courage and inspiration from
the example of the most illustri-
GUS mind in England and who,
too, fastened to find the kindly
light that soon burst upon them
with all it's old-time splendor.
1t is to be hoped that the cour-
age and conviction that led Bish-
OPP kinsman to embrace the Faith
of the ages will prove a source of
enlightenment to his former CO.
religionists who may even now be
.wavering between fidelity to con-
science and mere worldly consid-
erations. May the kindly light
grow and expand in their souls
until they also come within the
gentle and benign shining Of it's
golden rays.

TO BOYCOTT ULSTER
SlNN FElNERS TO USE ECONOMIC
WEAPON ON OPPONENTS.

The ancient political struggle be-
tween the North and South of Ireland
will be intensified soon by use of new
and drastic weapons-the weapons of
economic war
The Sim Feiners are preparing for
a campaign against the North by a
virtual boycott of all Ulster merchants
and manufacturers. By this means
they hope to break the power and in
fiuence of the Northerners in their
fight against home rule .s
The idea is an entirely new de-
parture in the long-standing political
warfare.
1t is reported that both Constitution
alists and Sim Feiners are combined
in the boycott movement and are en-
listing the biggest business men of
the South who are customers of
Northern manufacturers. The boy
colt slogan is:
Economic war on Ulster. Strike at
their pocketbooks. Force them to
abandon their antagonistic attitude to
home rule"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1919-12-27

unless its interest was suddenly
aroused. Then it would act and
it would crush the American Sim
Feiners as a cart-wheel brushes
toad. The Ulstermen have so far
made no real effort to stir this
slumbering giant, unless perhaps
Sir Edward Carson's much criti-
cised July speech in Belfast was
intended as the first move in this
campaign. But if they make the
appeal in loud enough accents the
feelings of those Presbyterian and
Methodist Churches will move to
meet them. Let it be agi-
tated and fought out for time
on the other side of the Atlantic
Lord Beaverbrook s first contin-
gent of Ulster Protestant pulpit
teers has already reached this
country.
1t seems odd that Catholics are
accused Of rebelIing against Eng
lish rule simply because they are
Catholics. The American Revolu-
ton was not a Catholic rising.
Neither was Grattan s famous
Parliament a Catholic rising; nei-
Their was the Boer war a Catholic
attempt to achieve independence.
Are the Egyptians, Indians and
Persians today inspired from
Rome to arraign the arbitrary
power Of English in depriving
them Of their liberty? The fact
is that England opposes the move
ment for Irish freedom today as
much as she did in the days when
the Protestant Ascendancy was in
power in Ireland.
De Valera paid eloquent tribute
to the Protestant leaders in Ire
land in the present and in the
past fights for Freedom. Will the
Little Six and Coote emulate him
in his generous praise, and admit
that this is not a movement of the
Catholics alone to liberate them
selves from a distasteful form of
government?

formed on the recent developments
in Czecho-Slovakia, or they would, by
this time, have voiced their protest
against the manner in which the gov
eminent which the United States has
helped to install in that country, is
using it's authority. A kulturkampf
has arisen in Bohemia, a revival of
the old struggle of John Hus against
the Catholic Church and it's institu-
lions. Severe attacks have been
made on the Archbishop of Prague,
and the powers that be have not hest
tated to secularize some of the time
honored converts and monasteries,
one of which even Hus himself spared
in his day.
Under the guise, of requisitioning
buildings for public service the new
government has already taken over a
number of converts and abbeys.

of the statute forbidding. the teaching
OF the German language in the public,
private and parochial schools of Ohio,
which passed after hard struggle at
the beginning of the session of the
general assembly. The sweeping
statute was enacted as a substitute
for the existing law and for the al
legged 'equivocal' bill first proposed.
Only concurrence of six or seven
justices of the supreme court of Ohio
now can overturn the new law.
The opinion in the case was rem
dered by Judge C. G. Washburn,
unanimously concurred in by Judges

cry. 1t is discussion of the right of
the state to enact legislation deemed
to be necessary for it's own protection.
The decision was made in affirming
the conviction of Emil Pohl, a, teacher
in the Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Cleveland. Pohls defense was
based on the bill of rights of the Ohio
constitution and on the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States.
The court finds that no discretion
airy power of the legislature has been
abused, and concludes:
"The right to teach the German
language is not claimed to be guar
anteed in the Constitution, except as
it is embraced in the liberty guar
anteed in the bill of rights, and that
liberty is subject to the police power
of the state, and the exercise of the
police power rests within legislative
discretion to determine when the pub,

DRIVE IN ARGENTINA
MILLIONS FOR SOCIAL

COUNTRYWIDE DRIVE IN AR
GENTINA TO ESTABLISH So
cIAL AGENCIES EXCEEDS Ex.
PECTATlONS.

We sometimes look upon the South
American republics as lacking in the
spirit of enterprise and initiative
which distinguishes their sister repub-
lie to the North. Some people imagine
that the people of South America need
a good deal of our vigor and push"
in order to come up to the standard of
progressively democratic nations.
A recent project was nothing less
than the securing of fund of 10000
900 for the general social welfare of
the country.
From a booklet which outlined direc-
lions for the teams conducting the
great drive" we learn that this
unique enterprise was decreed by the
Argentine episcopate, organized by
the Catholic Social Union of Argen-
tina, and was at once highly recon-
mended by the leaders of public opin-
ion in the country. Participation in
the work was not limited to Catholics
but was open to "all men of good will"
The name under which this signifi-
cant undertaking was launched, and
by which it became known as the most
popular campaign" ever inaugurated
by the people of the republic, was
'The Great National Collection for the
Re-establishment and Promotion of
Social Peace in Argentina" Some of
the objects aimed at were the follow
ing:
1. The securing of larger meas
ure of freedom for wage-earners, who
are earnestly striving to improve their
economic condition by peaceful and
legitimate means. But they now wish
to obtain this object without the in
reference of agitators, who have
heretofore taken the liberty to repre-
sent them, when such representation
was opposed to the will and wish of
the workers themselves"
2. The erection of general Of
fee for social service, which should
cooperate with, and make better
known, the facilities of all existing GEN.
tiers of social service.
8. The establishment of "Work-
ingmen's University for the spread
of general culture and for the diffu-
sion of knowledge on economics and
technical subjects among the workers.
4. The founding of cooperative
rural savings banks, for advancing
loans to farmers and for stopping the
exploitation of small holders by
uSurerS.
5. A technical institute for wom-
en- for instruction in economics and
professional subjects suited to their
ability. - s:t
6. A Young Peoples Institute
which, while enabling them to COM
plete their education, would also pro-
vide needed social and cultural oppor-
tunities. si@'f $.@@@#
z. The encouragement of existing
agencies of similar purport, and the
establishment of others according to
need.
