It has always been marvelous
what a difference exists between
the salaries which the world is
willing to give men of brain and
thought, who devote their lives
to the study of some great par
ticular, and the recompense ac
corded those whe furnish cheap
and tawdry amusements -We
remember when ex-Presi
dent Taf t accepted his present
position he received a small salary
which was announced alongside
one ten times as big, which was
paid to a baseball coach. Motion
picture stars receive more money
than the president and the best
teachers barely make a decent
living while coaches and enter
tainers amble -along: m their
wealth.
; This is in our minds a bad sign
of the condition of American peo
ple. Think it over and you will
see that those who appeal in life
to the emotions ride in wealth
while those who do practical
w'erk or original research come
very near starving. A man will
pay a nicklel for a funny paper
very often when he wouldn't pay
that amount for a page of com
mon sense. It is the same con
trast between dirty shows and
the church. The average man
knows which is best for him, but
he goes to the show all the same.
The truth of the matter is that
Americans are ruled, more by
-their emotions, their sentimental
fancies and their tendency to a
void the logic of events. The?
want to dodge, and in spite of
their boasted staight forwardness
they do not meet the issues of
their lives m a direct and con
vincing matter. They excuse,
they apologize, they dodge and
twist and squirm, but whether
they fool themselves or not, they
go in for pleasure, for the grati
fication of their lusts and their
material well being.
It is a pity but it is for the
most part true of the mass when
considered as a unit. There is
only one thing to d and that is
to hammer on the individual.
Whenever you reach one human
being you have helped that much,
but for the present, the people
pay for what they want and
they get it Selected.

The Menace.
A telegram from Walla
Walla, Washington, received
just as we are closing the
forms on May 17 states: 'A
D bulman has given two
lectures here. Scheduled for
another tonight. This after
noon he was attacked at his
hotel by four romauists and
badly injured. He is now
in a local hospital where
he will be confined for some
time. "
We lack the details of this
brutal assault which adds
Another chapter to Rome's
long record of mobocracy,
brutal assault and murder
which she has frantically
indulged in for years past in
her determind war on free
speech, but we will exert
every effort to see that just
ice is done. Such aetions
on the. part of Rome's min
ions show the emptiness of
preaching loyalty and cam
paigning against -religious
prejudice" ana "intolerance"
so long as the papal system
teaches that anything for the
advancement of the church is
commendable. This is the
same kind of papal loyalty to
our constitution that was
indulged in, Haverhill, Mass,
when 10.000 Knights and
their friends attacked Rev.
Leyden in order to prevent
him from discussing the anti
sectarian amendment which
Rome has fought for so long;
an incident of mobocracy in
which Cardinal O'Connell
remaiued silent as a tomb,
when asked to rebuke its per-,
perators. And yet, he is the
man who joined with other
cardinals and prelates in
pledging the whole-hearted
patriotism and support of the
entire church of Rome in
America to President Wilson
in the present crisis. What
kind of patriotism is this
that seeks four Ji undred (400)
chaplaincies; wails at the
prospect of any priest becom
ing a private, and assails free
speech (a constitutiona
guarantee) m the midst of
out preparation for participa
tion in a war which seems "to
make thewordl saf e for demo
cacy.
