ATRICK HENRY MWCARREN wants Police Commissioner Bing- ham removed because the police have been interfering with Sun- day liquor selling in MceCarren’s district. MeCarren says that such treatment will destroy his organi- zation. What a confession! All the more valuable because it is true. The reason that such absurd excise laws continue on the statute books is because the politicians and the police profit by them. They are not intended to be en- forced, They are not enforced. They are held over saloonkeepers’ and property-owners’ heads as a threat. They are used to extort black- mail in the payments of money to the police and pol the | tieal tribute to Oss Keeping a saloon should be as reputable a business as keeping a dairy restaurant.

Neer to trees in th» forests of what is now upper New York State were a band of captive Huron Indians. High about their feet were heaped dry branches, ready for lighting. Around the prisoners danced | and howled a war party of Mohawks, From time to time a blazing splinter would be thrust Into some victim's flesh. A blac owned young French- man ther Jogues, of the Jesuit Missions, drew near to the sufferers and spoke to them words of comfort and hoy A Mohawk chief struck the ‘inissionary to the ground, A dozen other savages beat and kicked him into unconsclousne: Father Jogu had come to America from France in 1636 at tae age of t-enty-nine. He was the first missionary to raise the cross in Michigan, The Huron Indians were his friends and he made converts of many of them. It was while on his way through New York to Canada with a party of Hurons in 1642 that he and his friends were attacked by the Mohawks. Father Jogues could easily have made his escape. But he stayed to bind up the wounds of his native followers and give consolation to the dying. So he was by es taken prisoner and forced to witness the torture of his ne * captured comrades. When he recovered consciousness Taken Prisoner { after his beating the priest was dragged from village to by Savages, village of the Mohawks and exhibited as a sort of freak. Gomme! At neveral of these villages he was forced to ‘run the gantlet” (to run between two lines of savages who struck him with clubs as he | Passed), and, when he sank swooning under the blows, he was revived and tor- jtured in unspeakable ways, Yet through all this long anguish he made no com- plaint. Once while he lay bleeding and half dead he roused himself to baptize @ | Huron convert with a few drops of water shaken fre a cornstalk. The Mo- , hawks made him Jabor as a sive and to do every menial service for the whole tribe. Then came news of a Mohawk band’s defeat at the hands of the Frenc! The Mohawks in revenge ided to murder Jogue But, by the help of some Dutch settlers, he managed just in time to escape to New Amsterdam (New York City). Here he was kindly treated by the Dutch. When his scarred, mutilated body was Able (o stand th journey he was sent to France. But he would not be con- tent with a life of ease in s own ¢ ry, Ba to Canada he hurried, in time to help in making a peace treaty between the French and his old persecutors, the Mohawks, His tirst act, after the treaty was sign: was to go directly to the Mohawk wildern and start a mission there, He ew well what fate awaited him, For he wrote to a friend », et non redibo” (“I shall go, and I shall not revurn’’) At first the Mohawks received him kindly and did not object greatly to his efforts at teaching them Christianity. But soon some of the tribe started once | more on the warpath. Thetr first act was to seize Father Jogues and, in Octo- 1646, to take hin long as prisoner to one of the villages of his former cap- vity, When he had first been captured four years earlier the chest containing robes of office and altar service had been left at this village. The natives be- ed the chest's presence was reaponsit for thelr bad crops, for a fever epi- and for a plague of caterpillars that had swept the vicinity, ‘They de- ve 3 clared Jogues was an “otkon'’ (sorcerer) and clamored v for his death } Tortured at i The missionary was led to the torture stake.
