If corporations have no soul what about those of the people who con stitute the corporatins? There are people with natures so perverted that they are equally ready to shed tears over dead dogs and !e.t\ their families starve. A two legged creature is not neces sarily a man, he may be only an apol ogy for one. To be a man demands industry, right living and strength Of .will. It is a great pity that the South ern cotton mills feel called on to go to the aid of the bears in de pressing the price of the South's great staple. To do well we must think welt. Water will not rise higher than its source and human performance will not go beyond the reflection from which it starts. The Vanderbilts and Goulds seem to take turns in making public their family scandals. Evidently their morals and their callousness to pub lic sentiment are at an equally low ebb. The recent revelations of munici pal corruption in Chicago would seem to show that a jury can scarcely err in bringing in a verdict of guilty against any police or other officer who is tried before it. Football is again taking the place of baseball and we may just as well get ready to hear of broken necks, limbs and backs, and bruises Innu merable. Fortunately the football season is short, for it is deadly while it lasts. So-called Democratic newspapers that" vouched for Mr. Taft imme diately after the election, are now kept busy apologizing for his speech es endorsing the raids of the trusts on the people. In woman we may admire beauty, and pay homage to her talents, but virtue is her crown. With it she is rich though she live in humble cir cumstances and without it she Is poor though she live in a palace and hasj the dowry of a princess. If cotton had gone to thirteen cents last fall, certain so-called Dem ocratic newspapers would have sworn by the great horned frog that Taft's election really spelled prosperity for the cotton farmer. As a matter of ifact, the qptton farmer made his own prosperity in spite of the elec tion of Taft. The ChaTlotte Observer says: "It almost looks as if Senator Aldrich, whose sinister aims in public life from his earlist start are plain for all folk to see, has hypnotized the President." Brer Taft may be hyp notized, but we think even the Ob server will admit that .he was a most willing subject. The business man who does not keep a good quality of goods, who does not display those goods to best advantage and who does not let the people know what he has for sale ought not to complain if he finds trade pass his door to enrich his com petitor. It is the wideawake man who gets into touch with the public that draws business and success. The immense temperance parade in Chicago was an encouragement to every lover of decency, happy homes and good order. It was all the more significant in that it was held in a city that has an unenviable reputa tion for vice aud drunkenness. It convincingly showed that there is a powerful element making for indi vidual and civic righteousness and that with that element politicians will more than ever have to reckon. One of he best things we know is the wise, practical steps being taken by some labor unions and fraternal societies to fight the white plague. The Typographical Union and the Modern Woodmen have beautiful and thoroughly equipped homes for this purpose in Colorado Ana the best of medical treatment and care. Nu merous patients have already been cured of this insidious disease ami their homes filled with consequent joy and happiness. When Governor Johnson of Min nesota diei he left the very modest fortune of $37.000. The smallness of the amoHnt shows that he was in politics, not to make money, but to serve his fellow men. When Har rlman die' he left, so it is said, a ^otftune of $100.000,000. but not one cent of that vast amount, as far as can be learned, was left to any hospital, orphanage, asylum or other similar Institution. It is not neces sary to comment on all this?the fact speak for themselves. Catholic Church Figures. For years the name of Joseph Mc Cabe stood among the highest in the literature of the Roman Catholic church. About ten years ago he J left that church, and since then he j has written several widely-known books, among them one to be found ' in nearly all public libraries describ ing life in a monastery. His latest book, entitled ?'Decline of the Church of Rome," just published in London, has excite! much comment. In this book he predicts that the Catholic church Is to make Its last desperate j fight for ? upremacy In this country, for here, he says, is her sole remain ing hope. Mr. McCabe goes on to show from what he claims to be carefully com 1 piled statistics. Hhat the Catholic church has now fewer adherants than Protestantism, the world over; that of the 190,000,000 Catholics in the world, 120,000,?u? are illiter ates; that of the Spanish-American Catholics, fifty-three millions out of sixty-five are illiterate and densely ignorant; that only about one-fifth of all the men in Spain are now Ro manists, and this one-fifth Is the lowest portion of the population; that of the thirty-nine million population of France, only six millions are Ro manists. Mr. McCabe notes as a preliminary point that Rome has now far less than 200,000.000 followers; the Pro testant churrches have some 300, 000,000. "Instead of showing signs of increase," he says, "the Church of Rome i6 rapidly decreasing, and only a dramatic change of its whole character <can asve it from ruin. Recent religious statistics assign, on the average, some 250,000,000 out of the 550,000,000 Christians of the world to the rule of the Vatican. But the author proceeds to argue that these figures are considerably exaggerated. As compared with its position in the middle of last century, the Church of Rome, ac cording to him, has lost nearly a third of ts dominion. He says "the familiar figure of about 250,000,000 represents faith fully enough what the Roman Cath olic population of our planet ought to be (really 270,000,000) If the Vatican had done no more than retain its followers of eighty years ago, and their children, but the fig ures and facts I h&ve gleaned from the literature of Europe and Ameri ca show that at least 80,000,000 must be deducted from this total, if it is to express in any reasonable sense the actual number of Roman Cath olics." He quotes M. Sabatier as saying that there "are only about 6.000,000 sincere Roman Catholics left in France. North Italy is lost to the Vatican, and Central Italy is throwing off its allegiance." The Catholic church may be on the decline In the countries named by Mr. McCabe, but it is not in this country. If she has lost fifty per cent in numbers in Europe, as he claims she has, she has gained two hundred or more per cent in wealth and political power in this country in the last two decades. The religious statistics of the forthcom ing census will be very Interesting and will be watched for with in terest. We believe that the figures will show that both the Catholic and Protestant church in his coun try are in a highly prosperous con dition. A material decline in either of the great religious bodies in this country would be a public calamity. The more church members we have the better it will be. Faking Newspapers. It has long been a mystery to us how people will continue to buy cer tain metropolitan newspapers that over and over again have been con victed of persistent faking. The impression prevails among the un thinking that the newspapers in the smaller cities and the country towns are cruder examples of newspaper work than the big metropolitan dailies of New York, Chicago, and New Orleans. On the other hand the truth is, that the big metropoli tan papers are infinitely more care less in their collection of news than the newspaper of the smaller city or country town. The metropolitan newspaper man is more or less of an outlaw anyway. His hand 'is against every man and every man's haud is agaiust him. To him it is infinitely worse to be scooped than to print a fake. If there is a chance iu three or four that a story is true he will priut it, preferring to run the big risk of printing a fake rath er thau ruu the small chance of get ting left. Hut that sort of thing does not go iu the smaller city. The newspaper worker is too close to his constituency. They know where he lives aud if he becomes careless about printing uninvestigated rumor, they get after him. What you seeTn the great metropolitan newspapers may or may uot be so! It is very much of a gamble; what you see in the home paper is as near accuracy as it is pos sible for painstaking workers to get it. October. To many people there is a pathos about the present season. It marks a culmination in the order of life. Heretofore, nture's processes have been those of growth. There has been constaut expectation. With the sowing of the seed there was the promise of the ud. When the bud came, the gardener and husbandman looked forward to the flower, aud the beauty of the flower brought the rich promise of the fruit. When the fruit comes and goes, there is noth ing to look forward to but the chill and destruction of the frost, and the cessation of the activity of nature until spring tide shall turu it to life again. And yet, after all, in spite of such melancholy reflections, we are now at the very climax of the j year. The scorching suns of mid-' summer have passed and left the air tingling with the very wine of life. Why cannot our poor human nature enjoy the day for Ub own beauty and inspiration with less thought for th-} morrow. After all it is winter that establishes life on firm foun dation rather than summer. Summer puts forth an experimental growth, winter brings a tonic to the blood that makes this growth perniament,...
