The long drouth which has prevailed
over the state for the last month or six

railroads and towns indicate that some
corn will be harvested In nearly every
county In Nebraska. In the country

crop Is assured, while south of the
Platte, where predictions made Satur

now expect to harvest from 30 to 60 per
cent of an average crop of late corn.
Tho tardy precipitation has been ac
companied by cooler weather and every
city and county in the state has been

The Northwestern and Minneapolis &

the rain was of the root-soaking variety

Mulhall Put on
the Grill by the
House Committee
WASHINGTON, Aug. U.-After weeks
of waiting the house lobby committee got
a chance today to grill Martin M. Mul
hall on his wholesale charges of In
fluence with various congressmen and
corruption of employes of the house. The
self-styled lobblst of the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers appeared with
the senate sergeant-st-arms, who has
been his constant bodyguard since his
exposure.
A letter from; Representative Bartholdt,
now In Europe, was first produced. Bar
tholdt was on Mulhall's list of those
susceptible to influence. His letter "de
clared no representative of the manu
facturers ever Influenced him, but added
that because of his vote against the
Hughes' amendment, excusing labor un
ions from anti-trust prosecutions under
the sundry civil bill, the executive com
mittee of manufacturers voluntarily
promised him moral support Bartholdt
wrote In part:
"As a member of the committee on
labor, I have naturally come Jn con
tact with Van Cleve and Schwedtmann
and also with Emery and Mulhall, but
I never looked on the latter as any
thing but a messenger boy and I never
dignified him by any serious discussions
of measures pending before the com
mittee." When Mulhall took the stand Chair
man Garrett led him through a detailed
hlBtory of his life and an account of
his relations with the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers beginning in
1902. He related the story he already
had told the senate committee of his
fight on Senator McComas of Maryland
and the alleged corruption of Downs, the
senator's secretary.

GREATEST OF AMERICAN EVILS
Archbishop Ireland Trusts the Peo
ple to Discover the Remedy.
TALKS AT CATHOLIC CONVENTION
Great Cause of Decay Contended" to
Be Kn forced Secularism In
the Schools of the '
- w -
'MILWAUKEE. Wis.; Aug. 11.-Arch-bishop
Ireland, addressing tlio Cdtholla
societies convention tonight, declared that
"the evil today In America is tho decay
of religion, and, In necessary sequence,
the decay of morals. In both Instances
the cause of the decay Is the enforced
secularism ,of the state schools. Others
than Catholics, heedful observers and
Intelligent thinkers, admit the evil, ad
mit the cause and give the alarm. I trust
tho awakening comtilon sense and pa
triotism of the American people to dis
cover the remedy. Meanwhile in tollltur
the evil and the cause, my right hand
on my conscience, I rank myself among
the truest and .most loyal of Americans."
Archbishop Ireland's subject was "Cath
olicism and Americanism." Continuing,
he said:
"The partition of Jurisdiction Into the
spiritual and the temporal Is a vital prin
ciple of Cathollolsm; no less Is it a vital
principle of Americanism. Catholicism
and Americanism are In complete agree
ment. Always for n llepnhllc.
"In America the government Is tho re
publicthe government of the people, by
the peoplo and (for the people. With you,
follow Catholics, with you fallow Amer
icans, I salute the republic. I thank God
that the people of America are capable
of possessing a government of this form,
the republic It Is the fullest recognition
of human dignity and human rights, the
fullest grant of personal freedom, that
due regard for the rights of others and
the welfare of the social organism may
allow. Alter it to an empire or a mon
archy 1
"Never, so long as our Hps may praise
It. or our hands wield a sword In Its de
fense. Permit the barbarous onslaughts
of lawlessness and anarchy to undermine
Its foundation or loosen the cement bind
ing together Its walls!
"Never, so long as life still throbs
within our bosoms.
"Yes, the Catholic church Is extra
American, In the sense that it Is supra
national, begotten for all nations, not for
America, alone; Its supreme pontiff Is
extra-American, supranatlonal-a for
eigner on no spot of the earth's surface,
everywhere at home, as the spiritual
father of all tribes and of all peoples
who seek divine truth from a universal
God and a universal Savior."
An to the Schools.
Speaking of secular schools, Archbishop
Ireland said: "Not against state schools
as such do I raise objections, but as to
the methods in which they work method!,
that, whatever tho theory be, do In fact
consecrate secularism as the religion of
America and dally are thither driving
America with the floodtlde of Niagara.
"Somehow, I claim secular knowledge
must be Imparted to the child so as not
.to Imperil Its faith in God and In Christ
Prove to me, I say, that this contention
does not fully fit Into tho constitution of
the United States, that In making It, I
have not In mind the welfare, the nlva
tlon of America prove this before you
call the contention un-American If not
anti -American."

views of Senator Williams, who declared
In a speech last Saturday that an organ

There Is no occasion for alarm, In
the opinion of the president, who told)
callers today that within the last forty
eight hours the Mexican situation had;
Improved materially. It was made clear"
by the president to those with whom he
discussed the situation that the InstrwK
