. Christ redeemed. They need our
prayers and funds to continue the
work. Shall we neglect them? Shall
their sacrifices all fail because OF
our failure to help them? The un-
fortunate condition in Europe has
cut off the hitherto large contri-
button to the Missions. Our Holy
Father said recently that because
of Europe's helplessness, the very
life of the Missions depends on
America. We children OF the
faith cannot be unfaithful to the
soul stirring appeal of the Holy
Father.
Give generously next Sunday.
Save the missions in the far OIL
lands. Let your offerings be an
outward sign of your faith and OF
your love of Mother church.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
MAURICE F. McAULIFFE,
Bishop of Hartford.

EPITHETS ARE NO GOOD
lWall Street JOurnan


1t is well that those in public office are be-
means by which the CIO has been seeking to
further its membership campaign. 1t is strictly
within the province of members of Congress
openly to debate the propriety of Administration
acts and policies with regard to labor organiza-
ton Particularly is it fortunate that members
of House and Senate now draw attention some
what tardily, perhaps-to the logical consequent
ces of temporizing by executive and administra-
tive officers with the first instances of that mis-
guided zeal on the part of unionistS which led
some of them to breach the law.
But it will do good to preach or threaten
violence in reprisal. The "yigilante' procedure
can be excused only where the normal processes
OF law enforcement have broken down and men
feel themselves driven to desperate measures of
Self-defense. 1t dos not in itself constitute
restoration of the rule of law. Observance of
the law is obligation resting endlesSly upon
public officials and private citizens alike
Upon the former rests with special weight
the further obligation of temperate speech For
that reason the emotional outburst on the floor
of the House last week in which a member took
the CIO for his text douby unfortunate.
Adherents of the CIO have doubtless done many
illegal things, but it by no means follows that
the CIO attempts a ''awless plan of organiza-
ton" Very probably there are Communists
who observe the CIO campaign with glee; it is
altogether likely that some CIO members attune
their thoughts with MOSCOW

The Legion Convention
Of Next Year

The American Legion will hold its ma
tional convention of 1888 in Los Angeles,
at the same time the state department
convention is held there. This means that
all of southern California, Imperial coun-
ty included, will welcome representatives
of the strongest organization of its kind
the world has ever known. Luckily, it
is also one of the most straight-thinking
organizations.
Many of us from Imperial county will
see for the first time one of the most
important national conventions of all
the annual meetings held in this coun-
try. We would be foolish indeed if we
did not also, make plans to attract some
of the delegates to our county, either
before or after the convention.
Members of Imperial Valley Legion
posts have long been known in state and
national circles as among the most active
of all Legionnaires. Their fame will re-
act to the benefit of the entire county
in 1888.

Carrying Truck Raekets
A Bit loo Far

1t is good news that Los Angeles city
and county officials have promised to
make centers there safe for drivers load
ing orders to Imperial county and other
southern California destinations. This
county could never accept the situation
which saw drivers from here, content
in the employ of business men here, re-
fused permission to load their trucks
with merchandise consigned to this coun-
ty. Such a situation brought about a
definite abridgement of personal liber-
ties.
If labor unions in Los Angeles want
to cut one another's thrOats in jurisdic-
tional battle, if men of one union at
tempt to do physical and financial harm
to men of another union, that is the busi-
ness of Los Angeles. If, however, those
unions attempt to interfere with labor
ers from Imperial county who have no
dispute with either faction, and whose
only desire is to proceed with the job
that is to be done, then that is Imperial
countys business.
All the rights in this world are not
vested in labor unions. The average citi-
zen has few rights and privileges left,
whether he is affiliated with labor
organization or not. Labor will advance
faster along the path it has chosen when
it realizes this.
