Father Dowlinp ards th;s ;ne;ds,.-

Father. Bowling adds this incident:
Going down in the electric car the
other day l got into conversation with
the conductor about some current topic,
Father, did you read such an article in
the paper the other day.? he asked me
with great earnestness. eyes," re-
piled, land it was very good too"
We'll, wrote that" he said with par
donable pride. old you read that
other communication? he continued,
mentioning the title. "Yes," l an
swered. 81 read that too, but you didn't
write that did you?" for it seemed above
his caliber. He laughed softly and said
with evident satisfaction, that was mine
too" And they were good articles, too.
on live questions, written by street car
conductor If he had waited for Mr..
Educated Catholic to do the good, it
would not have been done. Touching
upon what has been lacking among our
people, the practical lecturer said: OR
ganzation is necessary. In no other
way can any considerable influence be
exercised. 3. +. The Church is not
social power, not a financial power,
not military power; so, little is left to
her children to use but the power of
numbers, and in a republic this is
looked upon as a legitimate method of
accomplishing results On what else
does hearing depend? Docs the force
OF the demand, the likcliness of its being
heard depend on its rcasonablcness, its
justice? The practical politician would
laugh to scorn such suggestion. No,
1t depends on the numbers back of it, on
the legislative or electoral strength that
can be mustered in its support. :.
Public men are moved by the logic of
the cudgel. There is only one
way to move the average public man; he
will act through fear when deaf to the
call of duty, love and justice; he does
not court political death, A vote has
an irresistible charm for him."
wish | had space to quote more of
this practical talk 1t is just such
pamphlet as ought to be given wide
spread circulation. Cooperation is
sadly needed when Catholic interests are
in jeopardy. We want no privileges,
but do want justice and our rights as
citizens.
A notable example of what sucl, en-
crgctic cooperation can do is the work
OF Father O'Kccfc in obtaining the
passage OF an act OF Congress granting
permission to build Catholic church
at West Point. When tho bill was in
the hands of the Military Committee
and seemed about to be lost he brought
influence TO bear upon that committee
IRON various parts of the Union and
one or two Congressman who had voted
against it, changed their tactics and
championcd it in committee and on the
floor OF Congress until ii finally passed.
| dare say, similar action might work
much good in similar cases
FIR. Dowling's lecture is superb ono
and is fine presentation of the Catholic
layman's duties and opportunities, and
ought to be read by the Catholic public,
and its fine features put into practice
L Pluribus Unum is good motto for
all citizens and mighty fine one also
for Catholic citizens.

My dear sir:
l am very much grati6ed to learn that
steps are being taken to establish a
Democratic paper in Minneapolis, to be
known as the Minneapolis American. -
With the strong opposition which there
is in your state to Republican policies,
you ought to be able to secure large
circulation at once. The name is good,
for the paper will stand for an American
system OF government, as we'll as for
financial and industrial independence.
hope your paper will prove as great a
success as Hcarst's Chicago American.
Very truly yours,
w. ]. BRYAN.

Of seventy years ago taken from among

lady, Mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge.
The third class having had their spell

the little ones were called up to learn
their "a b c's." The unlucky infants
were kept to their duty by gentle raps
on the head with the handle of a pen

kept in readiness for the exigencies Of

ATHLETICS AND HEALTH.
The Evil that May Come from Ever
Moderate Training,


The Evil that May Come from Even
Moderate Training.
In these days of Intercollegiate and
International athletic contests and de-
votion to all sorts of physical exercise,
word of warning against excess is
necessary. There Is always danger
that universal devotion to any sport
will lead to excessive rivalry and feats
Of record-breaking, when use becomes
abuse, and a practice that ought to be-
health-preserving In the highest degree
1egenerates into a health-destroyer.
Training In moderation is not always
hurtful, and is for many most useful
discipline, yet we must remember that
raining Is not natural. 1t is In the ply
steal realm what examining is In the
mental. Its object is to bring the body
to the highest degree Of physical en-,
iurance in order to meet a particular
exigency; but the body can no more be
kept In this state continuously than the
mind can remain crammed with rules
Of grammar, dates and mathematical
formula, without final injury or actual
breakdown.
Athletes, at least in the beginning of
their careers, are healthy, but that Ia
not due to the training; 1t is because
only healthy boys and men go In for
athletics to the degree that calls for
actual training.
The danger that besets one who has
oeen In training for long period-say
during three or four years of his col
lege course-is the same that confronts
he victim of the opium habit; he can
not let gol
The constant exercise of the muscles

the walls of the heart induced by the
labor 1t has been called upon to per-
form. When the athlete gives up his
training, the work Of the heart Is re-
duced and its walls grow flabby; and
then the danger of permanent heart
weakness Is imminent.
1t is well known that many men who
die suddenly, or who live with crippled
hearts, were in early life noted athletes,
and their ruin has come from a sudden
change to sedentary mode of life.
On the other hand, there are many old
and middle-aged men In excellent
health who went in for rowing, running
and other athletic sports in their youth.
They differ from the others in that
they gave up their athletics gradually;
they unframed" as gradually as at the
beginning they began to train.
No sensible man Of sedentary occupa.

no man may be called sensible that
gives up athletics for sedentary life
without an equally long and careful
preparation in order to accustom thu
