"Do you believe the Democratic party should be kept free from entanglments with special interests?" Very well, then, listen to William Jennings Bryan, who explains-how It can bo done explains it in black-faced type that scatters over most of the first page of the Commoner, explains it In terms so simple that a little child can understand. Now this Is the way to save the Democratic party and prevent the perpetration of whatever outrages are about to be perpetrated: Mr. Bryan will do his part in the effort to protect the Democratic party from Aldrlchlsm. On the stump and through the Commoner he will Insist that the progress made by the party during the past six teen years shall not be thrown away; that the special Interests shall not control the convention; that Its platform shall bo honest and unequivocal and Its candidates devoted to genuine Democratic doctrine. In order to place his views before a larger num ber of people, Mr. Bryan has given Instructions that his paper, the Commoner, be sent to every now sub scriber for a period of two years for the sum of $1 the regular price for one year. You are Invited to Join Mr. Bryan In this great fight. What could be more simple or more certain? But If you cannot stand the Commoner two years for a dollar, send three dollars tor the Outlook, Theodore Roosevelt contributing editor, and help save the Re publican party from sin and shame. N. Y.

In his best and manliest vein, says the New York Sun, Is Mr. Taft's speech to the personally conducted : Grangers taken to Washington to impress upon him nnd Congress with what ruin for American farmers the Canadian reciprocity agreement Is big, and more particularly to threaten him with a great loss of Re publican votes If that Infamous pact goes through: "You say that tho Republican farmers are going to desert us If we put that through. I am very sorry If that Is to be the case, because I have a personal liking for the Republican farmers Just a little mite more than for the Democratic farmers, although they are all citizens of the United States, whoso welfare I must hold equally in my care. "But my conviction with respect to the advant age of this treaty is very deep. So far as the effect of this on my personal political fortunes, It ought not to Influence me, nnd does not Influence me In the slightest." Right or wrong, he believes that the measure is for the general good, and he is not going to be bull dozed. No doubt the personally conducted farmers will enjoy themselves in Washington; possibly they will send for their automobiles and go home in these. At any rate they know now that not even the bellowing of that sacred cow "the Interests of tho American farmer" can frighten Mr. Taft from doing what he thinks best for the whole country. 0 0 0 YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

In the last Issue of the Catholic Standard and Times, Philadelphia, the following Interesting article ex plaining tho attitudo ol t. e cnurch on mixed marriages was published: In view of the many toollsh say ings and wicked accusations being made against Catholics, o.-peclally with reference to the "Ne leinere" decree, which puts the decree of the Council of Trent against clandestine marriages into force for the whole Catholic world, Bishop Turner, of Galloway, In Scotland, devoted a large part of a recent pastoral to a refutation pf misrepresentations of tne uatnotic church in ner marriage regulations. "We may remind those who ac cuse us of condemning Protestant marriages," says the Bishop, "that tho very contrary of that Is the truth. The church has expressly declared that she does not refer to the marriages of Protestants in the No Teinere decree of 1908, but freely accepts as lawful and valid those marriages which Protestants for themselves hold to be such. The church's legislation applies to Catho lics only. But some one may object that in the case of a mixed marriage the decree brands the Protestant party as an infamous person, living in sin. I reply that the decree con tains no such doctrine or Insinuation because it expressly excludes non- Catholics from Its purview; but It distinctly declares that the Catholic party, who has violated the solemn law for tho celebration of marriages, Is living In sin. The two conditions are perfectly possible; one party may bo in absolute good faith, while the other may be living in direct oppo sition to the dictates of his con science. In saying so the church, however, does not, as has been false ly stated by some of our traducers, release the Catholic from whatever obligations lie by his irregular con duct freely took upon himself to wards the non-Catholic party under the civil law. He is legally married. and the civil obligations thereby un dertaken certainly bind him until the secular authority, whose sanction alone he sought, is pleased to re lieve him, which I think is very un likely. rue btate may trame its own laws, and can protect its own inter ests in the way it sees fit, but the btate has received no authority over tho administration of the sacra ments, and cannot control the con sciences of men. To say, therefore, that so long as one has complied with the prescriptions of the civil law, he has done all that is requir ed to make his marriage good may be quite sufficient for a non-Catholic who does not acknowledge the Catholic faith, but It Is absolutely insufficient for any one who pretends to hold the faith of a Catholic. The strong passion of the moment may stifle conscience for a time, but that conscience will awaken some day and will not be silenced; because the guilty one knows that while pro fessing the faith with his Hps, he has denied it in his work. Neither the Catholic doctrine of marriage, nor the laws regulating Its celebra tion come into any collision with the civil law, and no Catholic who strictly obeys the laws of his church will ever be found contravening the laws of the State or injuring the rights of his neighbor. "It would perhaps be more profit able for all non-Catholics to reflect that In associating with a Catholic who trifles with his own conscience and tramples on the laws of his church, they are plainly treating with a criminal; for I leave It to tho Judgment of Impartial minds to say what they think of any one who one moment within tho walls of the Catholic church professes to believe firmly whatsoever she 'believes, and as firmly to hold her authority to bo sacred and divinely appointed to teach and guide him in all things spiritual, and the next moment, with out oven the least pretense of having changed his belief, goes to a court house or to a Protestant church and openly flouts his faith and tramples on the very authority which ho pro fesses to revere most on earth. Sure ly such conduct can scarcely bo within any code of morality." Emil Horbeck vs. M. J. Kelly and Frank Stelnman, copartners, etc., under the firm nnmo of Kolly & Stelnman. In the Court of Com mon Pleas of Wayne county, March Term 1910, No. 89. On tho 11th dny of April, 1910, a summons was Issued In the above case, returnable the third Monday of June, 1910, and plaintiff filed his declaration or statement on Novem ber 12, 1910. December 13, 1910, the plaintiff entered a rule on the defendants to plead, which was serv ed upon their attorneys tho same day, and on December 14, 1910, the defendants, by their attorneys, en tered a plea of non assumpsit, pay ment with leave, etc., and they fur ther filed an affidavit of defense on December 21, 1910. On March 0, 1911, upon motion, the plaintiff obtained permission to nmo.id his declaration nnd same day (lied an amended declaration. On .March 10, 1911, an order was made that an affidavit of defense to the new declaration be filed and defend ants plead within fifteen dnys. There does not appear upon the rec ord or in any of the files that any notice of this order was ever given to tho defendants. No affidavit of defense was filed, and on March 27, 1911, upon praecipe filed, tho pro thonotary entered Judgment against tho defendants by default. On April Iff, 1911, rule was grant ed on plaintiff to show cause why tho Judgment so entered should not bo stricken from the record. In the absence of any notice to the defendants or their attorneys, of the order that an affidavit of defense should be filed to the new declara tion, or statement, within 15 days, we are clearly of tho opinion that the entry of the Judgment In de fault of such affidavit of defense was Improper. The Court did not attach to the order that the affidavit of defense be entered, that in default thereof Judgment should be entered against tho defendants. The defendants certainly were entitled to notice, either given to themselves or to their attorneys and the record does not show any such notice or service. In addition to this, unless there be provided for a case of this kind a rule of court, we are of the opinion that the filing of tho original affi davit of defense was a full compli ance with the law in respect there to, and that after plea filed, which was obtained by the Issue of a rule by the plaintiff, the defendants could not be compelled to file an affidavit of defense until after a rule was granted upon them to show cause. The defendant by his own laches or neglect or failure to file a proper declaration or statement, cannot har ass the defendants nor keep them continually repeating the filing of papers. And now, May 8, 1911, in accord ance with the aforegoing opinion, 15KPOIIT OK THK CONDITION' Ol-'THIC WAYNE COUNTY SAVINGS BANK OF H0NE3D&.LE.
