agree that tho genial 8am does not be

which he said: "Unionism takes the
laborer by the hand, keeps him longer
with his family In the morning returns
him earlier at night, sustains him
when falling, lifts him up when he is
down. The saloon lies In wait for him
In the morning, tracts him home at
night, springs and clutches his man
hood, self-respect and love of home,
and takes from- him all that Is good."

Mueller
Is Honored
Will Represent C. T.A.U. at The
Hague Anti-Alcoholic
Congress.
The Democrat acknowles the receipt
of several copies of the Advocate, the
olllclal organ of the Catholic Total Ab
stinence Union of America, together
with a copy of tho annual report of the
great meeting at Chicago a year ago
which contains the address of Ulrica
F. Mueller, C. PP. S., Professor of Phi
losophy at Carthagena, before that
body. Rev. Mueller baa often raised
his voice on behalf of total abstlnance,
and has been highly honored on nu
merous occasions by the State and Na

and powerful society. Rev. Mueller
was recently appointed to attend a con.
vention of the Anti-Alcoholic Congress
to be held at The Hague In October,

The Fighting
Parson To
Night "God bless her. A heart of gold. A
mind as broad and pure as the heaven
ly blue. Would that this country
contained more such souls."
Walter H. Uegen, known as "The
Fighting Parson" is the leading chara-
ter in W. F. Mann's production of the
same title that comes to your city this
(Friday) evening.
It s a pastorial comedy drama writ
ten by John A. Preston, whose success
as a playwright needs no Introduction
to the theatre-going public. All the
dramatic critics claim this to be Mr.
Preston's best work and Mr. W. F.
Mann, that succussful producing man
ager of Chicago, has mounted the poice
with special settings and a cast second
to none.
It's a well told story of a young
minister's struggle for right with so
many odds; but his faith in God is
strong, never gets discouraged and has
but one maxim, There is some go' J in
all of us." His love scenes are tender
and pathetic. His emotional scenes
are strong and stern. This combina
tion In a charater makes it one to be
admired. It's a great moral sermon,
with a strong heart interest. You
laugh, you shed a tear and leave the
theatre fueling that there is still good
In this grand and glorious world and
put your faith in God. Characters like
The Fighting Parson" cannot help
succeed which of course, he does.
Prices 25, 35, and 50 cents. Reserved
seats on sale at Riley's.
