EVIL CONDITIONS FACING WORLD

; Rome, Aug. I.—Evil conditions confronting the world today are out* lined in a circular letter issued to the church by Pope Benedict today. The purpose of this letter is to proclaim throughout the world the fiftieth anniversary of the decree by which St. Joseph was named patron of the universal church, ana in it the pontiff urges the Catholic world to celebrate for a whole year from December next with solemn function in honor of the saint. “When the end of the war came,’ says the letter, “the minds of men led astray by militarist passion, were exasperated by the length and bitterness of the conflict, and aggravated by famine on one side and accumulated riches in the hands Of a few on the other. The war brought about two other evils —the diminution of conjugial fidelity and the diminution of respect, for constituted authority. Licentious habits followed even among young women and there arose the fatal doctrine of communism, with the ablations between nations and between father and children. Terrible consolute destruction of dutiful resequences ensuing have already been continues by illustrating the efficacy of the patronage of St. Joseph, “since the society of mankind is founded on the family, and anything strengthening Christian domestic organization also strengthens human society.

“HAVE YOU FOLKS HAD IT?”

My "wife's husband is the latest victim stricken with the new dread disease which has been ravaging Rensselaer business men eral weeks. When it settles, it puts a man down —and also out (financially). , There is no cure once a guy gets “teed-up” on golf. He s neithet safe nor sane. He must just run its nine hole course till the loss of b&lls breaks him (habitually and financially). # . > It’s played with garden tools.

Hit a bhll and look for it tall you find it If you don’t want to look all day, hit another one. Only that makes it two dollars. . You practice form, stance, fol-low-thru, swing, back-spin and a dozen other things Webster never heard of. But all you ever develop is a chronic slice and a mule driver’s vocabulary. When a man like “Pa’ Thompson (always considered and respected) sneaks away from the table and shatters a chandeher in the parlor practicing I say, when a. banker goes round raving about “bogie,” “par” and “birdie r —well, I say its time to pity ; a fallen man.

SERIOUS FIRE THREATENED

BUSINESS SECTION IN PERIL WHEN FLAMES BROKE OUT SHORTLY AFTER NOON. A serious fire which for a time threatened the business section of the city, broke forth shortly after noon today, Monday, and except for tjie prompt and efficient action of the fire department one of the worst fires in the city’s history would have been recorded. The fire broke out in the hose., tower just' to the rear of the fire department building and it was only, a matter of a few moments until the tower was a mass of flames. The firemen confined their efforts for the most part twoard preventing nearby buildings catching fire and were successful in their attempts to check the spread of flames Falling embers “ from the tower caused the roof of one or two of the other buildings to catch fire but these flames were quickly subdued and no damage resulted. The roof of a barn in the next block also caught on fire but the flames were wiped out by volunteer firemen with the aid of a garden hose. 'No details of the fire or its origin were at hand at the time the Republican went to press and a more detailed account will be in the -Tuesday issue. Fire Chief Montgomery and his me nare to be commended on their quick and efficient service and had it not been that the city is so well protected against fire it is probable that a loss of thousands of dollars would have resulted.
