ERE'
ARCHBISHOP CAME
TO OMAHA YEAR AGO
AS HEAD OF CHURCH
Rapidly Pushing Educational Interests and Raising Large
Sum for Completion of New Cathedral to be Mas
terpiece of Architecture; Great Work Ac
complished in Philippine.
Totiay marks the first anniver
sary of Archbishop Harty's arrival
in Omaha.
Just a year ago he reached the Gate
City, coming from the Philippine is
lands, where he had for more than
12 years governed the see of Manila
with its Catholic population of more
than 1,500,000, . .
His administration in the Philip
pines fell in troubled times, due to the
grave problems that resulted from
the transfer of the islands from the
sovereignty of Spain to that 6f the
Itntted States. His labors in the
phiiinninra. tint merely in matters
. fU'Fl'""l T ,
At the last annual retreat in June 110
priests, who had already contributed
much to the cathedral fund and who
are by no means well-to-do men, sub
scribed $70,000 in seven minutes. The
laity in their turn have been equally
generous. As the result of so great
munificence, the towers, the erection
of which had been deferred to a later
date, will ioon complete and adorn
the noble facade and be a titting mon
ument to the civic pride of Omaha.
These towers will cost $110,000. Their
striking effect will make tlie great
edifice worthy to be called The
Pinnacled Cathedral of the Middle
West.1"

ment, the lnlu:ky beventur
Just five more men are needed, and
then the companies will be filled to
their quotas. After that a waiting list
will be established but just how long
they would have to wait was notj
stated. It is authentically stated at
headquarters that Tut five men from
Omaha units asked for discharges in
time to enable them to enlist in the
regular army.
The guards arc still buoyed up with
hope that "the every effort which is
being made to have the Seventh regi
ment recognized and drafted into fed
eral service" will bear fruit and that
within a short time the War de
partment at Washington will obtain
cognizance of the reat injustice that
has been meted out to the "Unlucky
Seventh" by rescinding certain orders
and calling the regiment to the de
fense of the colors.
Answer Foolish Questions.
The officers are cheerful and cpn
fidtnt, and with an inexhaustible sup
ply of patience they are calmly an
swering foolish questions and advis
ing the guards to "bide a wee."
While it is clearly evident from
their actions that the guards are dis
couraged and disappointed, they are
bearing it brave'y and with great for
titude. 'Aw, what's t the use of being
knockers?" suserted one guard. "We'll
get a chance after while everybody
knows that. Every cloud has a silver
lining. !.ey tell me, and all we fel
lows have to do is to turn th cloud

Salvation Army Again Will
Give Dinner to Worthy Poor
The Salvation Army is busily pre
narine for its Chtistmas dinner. As
usual this organization will do its
share in distributing the generou'
bounty of the public of Omaha. Car
tain J. A. Mace, officer in charge,
I expects to give several hundred bas
kets to the worthy poor.
Every case will be carefully inves
tigated and only the worthy poor
will hp considered. The ooor chil
dren also will be remembered. The
investigators have found many pa
thetic cases. Mrs. P. was left des
titute by her husband with three
small children. To provide for them
she sold all her furniture, believing
that would tide her over until, she
could find sonic work, but her money
gave out and she was without coal
and food.
The captain heard of the story and
xitnnlied not onlv her needs in oro-
viding food and fuel, but bought her
some turniture and now tne woman
is able to make a little for the chil
dren. A South Side doctor reported a
case where a woman, a widow, was
dying, with several children on her
hands. Baskets were sent to her at
The need this year is just as great
as ever and Captain Mace is sure tnat
the public will help. 1

The Pretext for National Prohibition
The plea for National Prohibition is made on the
ground that the Prohibition States could not protect
themselves against liquor shipments from "Wet" States.
,-.'
This plausible reason no longer exists. The Webb
Kenyon Law, together with the Reed Amendment (gen
erally known as the, "Bone-Dry" Law), forbid any rail
road or express company tol transpdrt liquor into States
whose laws prphibit it, and make it a crime for anyone to
bring liquor into any Prohibition State.
i...
If a State wants to be "Bone-Dry," it can become so
by adopting State Prohibition, with the assurance that
the Federal Government will see to it that no liquor is
shipped in. - . '
The amended Webb-Kenyon Law was passed in rec
ognition of the right of each State to adopt its own policy
, on liquor legislation free from outside interference. For
the same reason those States which do not want Prohibi
tion must have the same right of protection for their policy
FREE FROM OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.
-
It would be most unfair to coerce by Prohibition
those States that long ago discovered Prohibition to be a
fallacy and a failure.
