MEXICO COSTLY.
Our attempt to "capture Villa,
dead or alive," has already caused
tho death of sixty officers and
privates, the retirement of liundreds
of others for disability, and cost
the nation approximately $100,000,
000, and the assertion is frequently
made that the United States has
barely made a start on its Mexican
campaign.
QUESTION OP POLICY.
Rev. Edward A. Flannery, as
sociate editor of the Southern
Guardian, of Little Rock, Ark., dis
cusses tho report of Col. 1 H.
Callahan's Religious Prejudice Com
mission as follows:
"It is not because wo do not
agree with raany of tho suggestions
of (his report that we permit our
selves tho privilege of questioning
certain recommendations of Col.
Callahan, the Chairman of the Re
ligious Prejudice Commission of tho
ICnights of Columbus. We have
much sympathy with tho complaint
of tho Chairman that his work has
not met with the universal endorse
ment of churchmen. In fact many
of tho editors of Catholic papers
have been tempted to criticize
rather sharply some of tho Ideas
put forth by the Chairman of this
commission. His claim that bigotry
Is waning does not seem to be borne
out by contemporaneous history" and
his contention that the conciliatory
method reports more consoling suc
cess than tho ancient contentious
policy may bo open to debate. The
weakness of tho whole viewpoint
kof Col. Callahan, ns It appears to
lis, is his delusion that he knows
more about the religious situation
In the United States than tho cleric&
who have mado a close study of the
matter years before the name of
tho gentleman from Kentucky was
mentioned in Catholic circles. A
layman must remember that he
approaches all questions involving
religious controversy without suffi
cient training to understand the
various angles of the subjects
brought Into debate. Some sincere
pursuers of relilgous amity may
forget that we can buy unity too
dearly, at tho cost of fundamental
truth. It Is all very well to bomt
outward peace, with our neighbors,
but It Is infinitely more important
to preserve the faith in all essential
elements. Conciliation may be wel
come under certain conditions, but
not at tho compromise of Catholic
truth. No layman has been com
missioned by the Saviour to pre
tend to infallibility In dealing with
religious problems, and tho more
outspoken such a one becomes in
his insistence that only his views
are right the more he lays himself
bpen to the suspicion that ho i3
wrong."

The many little boys and girls
who can not withstand their desires
to see what Santa has brought will
find that their dreams have been
fully realized. They will find that
Santa was an ardent advocate of
"preparedness." They will find that
this store has been working with
Santa Claus for months and has at
tained a readiness that they have
never realized would be possible.
There will be great joy in
Toyland tomorrow, and it is a
great Toyland, intensely popu
lated with all the toys from
abroad, mingling freely with the
most wonderful American toys
that we have ever known.

SHOULD BE HEEDED.
The Governors ,of the Federal
Reserve Banks have warned in
vestors of the risk of purchasing
unsecured notes of Allied govern
ments. This was of course to be
expected. Governments have a
way of dodging payments of their
obligations, which unwary investdrs
will find to their cost'. We do not
say that the obligations will be
lepudiated. Not at all. But the
short-term notes can by a, little
manipulation, due to necessity, be
converted Into long-term notes, and
then when they become a drug in
the imarket and prices go tumbling
down, as will Inevitably be the case,
Government steps In and offers to
"redeem" them at their face value
by other notes or bdnds bearing a
low rate of interest, and the un
fortunate investor will be obliged
to accept tho government's offer
or boW at a big loss. Tho pro
nouncement of the Governors of
the. Federal Reserve Banks is
timely and should be heeded by in
vestors for their own good.
Miss Marcella O'Connor has re
turned from a most delightful
Thanksgiving vacation, spent at the
stock farm of Mr. B. J. Metcalfe,
near Lagrange.
Miss Frances Burke, of Pitts
burgh, was guest of honor at a

Miss Helen Mapother at the home
of her parents, Mr, and Mrs. W. L.
