TL rlthta that we hae teen have their root in
cf-cs-bi with God. car-noi te violated with im
; r-:tr. wterh-r tj the individual, society or gov
trtrsei. ItetrlLutlon follows their violation as
the night the day. These birthrights of man must
cot be invaded., while ce Invades not the eame
rights In others. When they are so invaded a
wrong Is done, the natural dignity of man is out
raged, the circle that the Creator has drawn round
about bis manhood la raided; a crime is committed
cot only against the human victim, but against
hla Maker, and against the order of His provi
dence. It is needless, or should be, to say that the
Declaration, by the word of "equal," does not refer
t adventitious, differences, such as height, weight,
strength, degrees of intelligence, wealth, poverty,
etc. No particular height, weight, wealth, poverty
or degree of Intelligence is essential to man in
order to be a man. The four-foot man is no less'
a man than the eight-foot man. The infant weep
ing on its mother's breast Is, bo far as natural
rights are concerned, no less a man than he who,
ir.umbllns and trembling with age, stumbles to
wards the grave. The starving beggar, thin as a
lath, is oo less a man than the ponderous states
man, the fat politician, or the sleek and juicy al
aerrnan. And the man with only sense enough to
earn an honest llvin? in the sweat of his face is as
much a man as the great ones who, for better or for
worse, ploughed deep furrows in the world's his
tory. No, children, it was not ephemeral differ
ences all of which are plus man, and as unim
portant a.-? the difference between length of noses
that J.fferson denied. He was not a humorist,
ror an Idiot.
It is claimed that the rights of the Declara
tion belong to the abstract, not to the concrete
ir.tn. Such a claim is groundless, for those rights
telong only to men who live In communion with
Cod through the creative act and through nature,
tuch mea are created and therefore real or con
crete men. That which is not has not and cannot
have real rights. The rights of nonexistence are
ton-exist it. Tha rights that a man cannot enjoy
till he becomes an abstract are like Counselor Cur
rcr'a definition of nothing a footless boot without
i leg. or a bodyless shirt without neck or sleeves;
or, we might add, a soup made from the shadow
of a bone in the abstract.
Governments do not deal with men in the ab
stract. They can neither sue nor be sued, hanged
nor sent to congress. Be a right ever so patent
and ample, the abstract man cannot enjoy it. An
essential condition to the enjoyment of rights in
concretencfs, real existence. When the Declara
tion speaks of rights it has reference to real, live
men of flesh and blood. The dead part has no
practical use for mundane rights, and the potential
or abstract man can enjoy them only when he
ceases to be potential or abstract and takes a
cognizable place in the procession from the cradle
tc the grave. When Jefferson wrote the Declara
tion he wisely refrained from dealing with meta
physical potentials.
We would remaind Father Sheahan that in
equality of glory of the Baints in heaven does not
prove that he quotes St. Paul to prove, namely, the
inequality of the saints themselves. They may be
unequal, hut his argument does not prove it; it
oily provej the inequality of glory. Nor does in
equality of torments prove inequality in the
demned. He confounds the conditions with the
conditioned a serious lapse from close thinking.
"'ine equality of men is a creation of our
minds."
No, it is, as we have seen, an apprehension or
judgment of the mind corresponding with objective
reality.
"Jefferson's preamble contains the principles
of anarchy."
This, we presume, refers to the principle that
the just powers of governments are derived from
the consent of the governed. If this principle be
anarchic, then Bellarmin, Suarez and the theolog
ians generally are anarchists, for they held and
taught that the authority to rule comes directly
from the people to the ruler; that the people,
though not the creators of the authority, their con
sent is the medium through which' it comes to the
ruler. It is Important to observe here that the
Declaration does not Bay that the people are the
creators or ultimate source of authority. It sim
ply states that "the just power to govern comes
from the consent of the governed," without con
sidering further Its ultimate source. The state
ment, then, is true, according to the theologians we
have named, v.... V ,;X"
We will now quote a few extracts from some
well known and weighty theologians on how the
power comes to the ruler. : "
Bellarmin: "The divine right has not given
this powar (of ruling) to any man in particular,
fci it has given it t to the multitude; besides the
positive law being taken away, there is no reason
why one man should rule ' rather than another,
among a great number of equal men (mark "equal
men"); therefore power belongs to the whole
multitude." Having pointed out where this -power
exists as in its subject,' the great cardinal goes
on to show how It passes from the multitude to
the ruler or body of rulers, thus: "In the third
place, observe that the multitude transfers this
power to one person or more by natural right. Ob
serve, in the fourth place, that particular forms of
governments are by the law of nations, and not by
divine law, since It depends on the consent of the
multitude to place over themselves a king, con
suls or other magistrates, as is clear; and for a
legitimate reason, they can change royalty into
aristocracy, or into democracy, or vice versa, as it
was done in Rome."
Suarez: "In the second place, it follows from
vhat has been said that the 'civil power, when
ever it is found in a man or prince, has emanated
according to usual and legitimate law from the
people and the community, either directly or re
motely, and that it cannot otherwise be justly
possessed."
Concina: "It is : evident .therefore that the
power existing in the prince, the king, or in many
persons, whether nobles or plebeians, emanates
from the community itself, directly or indirectly."
We will conclude these quotations with an ex
tract from Compendium Salmaticense, a text book
on ethics In its time in Catholic colleges and uni
versities: "It is universally admitted that princes
receive this power (of ruling) from God; but, at
the same time, it is maintained with more truth
that they do not receive it directly, but through
the medium of the people's consent; for all men
are naturally equal, and there is no natural dis
tinction of superiority or inferiority. Since nature
has not $iven any individual power, over another,
God has conferred this power upon the community,
which, a3 it may think proper, to be ruled by one
or by many appointed persons."
We submit that in view of these vigorous and
exact statements, the proposition , of , Jefferson In
the Declaration seems tame.
Were all these Catholic theologians anar
chists, and did they teach the principles of an
archy? If not, then Jefferson did not.
If we have devoted more time and space than
the article we have commented on palls for, it Is
because we are in times when the public" mind, in
flated by commercial success and successful crim
inal aggression, is on a common drunk, and under
the Malayan impulse to run amucki.with. swagger
ing disregard to the time-honored f principles im
bedded in the Declaration and constitution; prin
ciples that should be to us what the compass is to
the mariner when his ship is in the fog; principles
that stand as a bar to anarchy on the one hand,
and government absoluteism on the other. At
such a time to weaken those pillars on which the
grand structure of the republic rests Is to play
blind Samson over again, and Invite his fate.
Poor Human Nature.
"What would you do if you had a million
dollars?" said one plain, everyday man.
"Oh," replied the other, "I suppose I'd put in
most of my time comparing myself with some one
who had a billion and feeling discontented."

Ufa in fha Philippines
When Admiral Dewey sent the pride
of the Spanish navy in the east to the
bottom of Manila bay, very few Ameri
can citizens knew anything of the
Philippines save that these Islands
were on the other side of the globe
and that for years Spain had been
vainly trying to suppress an insurrec
tion there. When the news flashed
over the United States that the Am
erican navy bad again deraonstrated
Its superiority and prowess ty winning
in the far away East Indies one of the
greatest naval battles of the past cen
tury, people everywhere consulted at
lases, geographies and cyclopedias to
find out something about the Philip
pine islands. The information given
was fragmentary and Incomplete. To
furnlaa definite, reliable and complete
Information of these gems of the sea
to the American public, an enterpris
ing firm conceived the idea of sending
a corps of competent artists and writ
ers to these distant isles, to thorough-
- f
ly investigate the length and breadth
of the whole archipelago and repro
duce the islands on printed pages so
that the people of the United States
could form a correct opinion of the
various tribes, their habits, social and
business life, together with a correct
description of the climatic conditions,
resources of the islands, possible de
velopments, etc. This gigantic un
dertaking has resulted in producing
the i greatest and most popular illus
trated book ever presented to the pub
lic. This fact is emphasized by Gov
ernor Johnson of Alabama when he
declares so emphatically that it is not
to be compared with any other work on
the subject tq which it relates. At the
same time these investigations were in
progress in the Philippines, similar
expeditions were engaged in like work
In Porto Rico, Cuba, Isle of Pines, the
Samoan and Hawaiian islands. The
labors of these talented corps of ar

The Humane Society.
Mr. R. J. O'Houlon of Milwaukee,
in discussing the work of the Humane
Society, said:
"This work for humane reform is a
movement for the great cause of hu
manity. Whether we view it from the
limited and .biased standpoint of hu
man interest in human-kind or from
the more noble and unselfish position
that all sentient beings belone tn a
common creation and share In the
common blessings, enjoy the com
mon rights of life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness accorded to Its nature,
it matters not to Us excent in the de
gree of refining influence which the
cultivation of habits of kindness, mer
cy and svmnathv. and love for those
creatures of the lower creation has
upon ourselves as human beings.
"The general duty of man to the low
er orders of life Is a srreat one- We
all agree that man is the master of all
creation and all animal life Is subject
unto him as servant.
"This is because man is nossesed
of Intelligence higher In degree than
an other created things. In man's ex
ercise he must reeosrnize the resnonsi
bility of Drotcetion of these servants
which accomnanies this author! tv. The
relation between man and beast is not
wnolly for the welfare or tbe former
It is readilv conceded that man l
the sovereign and the lower creations
tne suDjects Tnen it must also be con
ceded that as sovereign man is an-
pointed to benefit his subjects in the
use of his sovereign power, to help,
not to retard; to lift up, not to cast
down; to "heal wounds, not to inflict
them, to lizhten burdens, not to mult
them more heavy; to assuage suffering,
not to aggravate it; to set at liberty
not to imprison; to increase happiness
not bring misery.
"Humane societies, in the name of
humanity, have protested against
cruelty everywhere. They maintain
that if the necessities of men demand
the services of the lower order, these
services shall be exacted in the spirit
of justice, of kindness and. of mercy,
without oppression, without suffering
and without cruelty; that consumed as
food by men, the way to, and the envir
onments of the sacrificial altar shall
be divested of all unnecessary suffer
ing and of every needless terror. Men
are coming to realize that the obliga
tion is upon them to treat with con
siderate kindness, justice and mercy,
sentient life wherever it is found.
"Not less than 100,000 humane so
cieties, Including branches, exist on
earth today. They are arresting the
spirit of cruelty, breathing the spirit of
justice into law, and teaching human
ity to the coming generations. . The
consciences of men, to whom are given
dominion over the fish of the sea, the
fowl of the air, the cattle and every
living thing that moveth upon the
earth, are waking to the fact that in
man's dominion over the lower ani
mals mean government of justice.
mercy and truth.
"Humane societies wherever estab
lished and maintained, have not only
discovered great necessity for their
existence, but are slowly constructing
foundations for future usefulness.
Where societies are lea by men and
women Interested In th6 work, and not
overshadowed by timid, inert, fossil
ized, charitable ornaments, tne work
has made commendable progress.
Cruelty abounds everywhere, and
not one-third of our land is under the
influence of humane societies. In
many sections of our country there
are no laws preventing cruelty to ani
mals and in many communities where
good laws appear on the statute books
they are not enforced. What Is need
ed in each and every community, no
matter how select and cultured it may
be, is an organization, composed of
virtuous, intelligent, courageous men
and women to secure and enforce laws
that will Insure justice and mercy to
every living creature. Were the teach
ings of this society incorporated into
the lives of our children the' next gen
eration would put an end forever to
the bloody wars between civilized na
tions. I sincerely hope we may or
ganize at least a dozen societies in this
state within the next six weeks, to the
credit of each community and the wel
fare of the state."
PHILIPPINE CLIMATE
CaptAin Perry, a Physical Glsvmt Returns
WeiA-hing 105 Pounds Sixty Thousand
Troops Titer
Capt. Alexander W. Perry, who is
well known in Omaha, having been
stationed there for some time as a
member of the staff of the command
ing general, had a little talk with a
reporter, which Is very interesting
reading.
He is now wearing a beard that is
liberally sprinkled with gray, and he
Is but a shadow of his former self.
That he is very much attenuated may
be understood from the fact that al
though he is six feet tall he weighs
but 105 pounds.
"I lost it all from an attack of ma
laria," said the captain. "I weighed
183 pounds, but when this took hold
of me I lost eighty pounds in about
that many days. I was taken sick
about the middle of February, and I
went down to fast that I was unable
to get away from there. I left Ma
nila June 20, and stopped in San Fran
cisco a couple of weeks. I am on the
mend now, and expect to get along all
right.
"The Philippines? Oh, the climate
there is not so bad, but I am inclined
to think a white man can stand only
about so much of It. I was all over
the provinces in connection with my
duties in the quartermaster's depart
ment during the three years I was in
the islands. You see, I went over with
one of the first expeditions. We were
at Tampa, expecting to shortly go to
Cuba, when the order came to go to
San Francisco. So it happened that I
was there through the whole of the
trouble.
"The Islands," Captain Perry added,
"are practically pacified now, so far
as organized resistance is concerned,
but the trouble is not over. They do
not take kindly to our occupancy of
the islands, and they are not at all
like us. Of course, we have the
strength to crowd our ways down their
throats, but they are liable to die of
indigestion. Revolution Is born and
bred In them, and It can't be gotten out
in a day or a year. It will be neces
sary to raise another generation. In
dividually they are intelligent enough
to run their own government.
"We have a lot of troops in the Isl
ands. The last roster I saw was about
the time I was taken sick, and then
there were about 66,000. Since then a
lot have come home, and some have
gone over, but we must have between
50,000 and 60,000 troops there now.
Personally, I don't believe we can get
along with very much less than that.
From my observation, we will accom
plish better results with a lot of small
posts scattered all over the Islands
than with a greater concentration. The
moral effect of the mere presence of
the soldiers will be more salutary
than the actual force of a larger body.
Individually the people there haven't
had a chance to express themselves,
and probably would not If they had
the chance. They are afraid to say
their souls are their own, and their
leaders do the talking. The great
middle class can read and write, and
they are aft intelligent people.
"Luzon is about half the size of the
state of Nebraska, and there, as well
as throughout the islands, the cities
and towns are on the sea coast. The
only railroad on Luzon is about 140
mlies long.. The only other means of
communication is by wagon and on the
navigable rivers.
" "We have quite an American colony
of civilians in Manila, and large num
bers are constantly going in. You can
get almost anything there that you
can here. Oae big concern can fur
nish you with anything from a needle
to an anchor." '
