Anti-Treating.

The action of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union at their national gathering
in Hartford in condemning the silly and
dangerous practice of treating" cannot
be too highly commended. As the reso-
luton justly says, seven-eighths of the
drunkenness of the day is caused by an OBJ
servance of this vicious custom.
While movements against treating have
been started before yet they have never
amounted to anything. Now that pow
erful organization, backed by great body
of Christians, has seriously taken cogniz-
ance of the evil it is to be hoped that all
members of the Catholic Church will act
upon the suggestion. Really, treating is
silly and superfiuous. The custom of each
man paying for his own drink prevails
throughout Europe and the rest of the
world, and it is only in America that in
order to show good fellowship" a man
must pay for liquor he neither wants him
self nor do his associates.
The resolution urging cooperation with
non-Catholic bodies in fighting for the
cause of temperance is very timely, and
all those who desire to further the good
work will do well to avail themselves of
the opportunity of united effort. Too
much time has been wasted in the past in
following out lines of sectarianism. Tem-
perance is universal ideal and knows no
religious boundary lines 1t is taught by
the seven great religions of the word,
only one of which is Christian.
We congratulate the Abstinence Union
on its sound sense. and trust that the next
convention shall show that the ideas pro-
nulgatrd in Hartford have been productive
or good orlls.-Bridgeport Post.

promiscuously all broken packages of to-
bacco and cigars Above the box was a
card which bore the inscription, Boys
under fourteen help yourselves" And
the proprietor was walking back and
forth, smiling and rubbing his hands and
saying, Help yourselves boys, help your
selves; put some in your pockets" And
fifteen or twenty boys all well dressed
and just out of neighboring school, were
following his suggestion. Some were try
ing to smoke, some only trying to fill their
pockets, all in a shame-faced way that
showed them to be new at the business
