rain. He did so. and the rain came in
floods and destroyed some of the crops.

Equally patent are the reasons why

needed to explain in addition. why he
is invoked with singular and appropri

teachers of the young, by religious or
ders and by souls given up to the
interior life. To dilate upon the adj

Devotion to St, Joseph.

N URING this month especially de-
voted to St. Joseph, we hope our
friends will pay no attention to
the prayers printed by somebody with
more piety than knowledge of Catholic
faith. and distributed by people af-
flicted with 4 religious mania to pre-
sent something new and novel in de-
votion TO the premier OF patron saints.
The notion of attaching certain cond-
tons to the prayer. which is rendered
inefficacious unless the daily recital is
rigidly adhered to, is so absurd as to
make compliance a grotesque feature
of devotion abhorrent to reason. For
example the author Of the prayer in
question insists upon its recital a Civ
en- number of times a day, no more.
no less: and another condition imposes
upon the applicant for favor through
the intercession of St Joseph a most
silly task. This is to copy the prayer
in ones own handwriting five times
and pass these copies to FIVE other per-
sons. The author of this prayer and
its conditions should be examined in
order to determine the sanity of the
person circulating it. So far from its
being a Catholic expression of devo-
ton. it is the silly ebuIlition of some
pious fool. The writer first saw this
purported prayer in Butte. Our advice
is to reject all printed prayers that are
not approved by the church.
Rev. a. B. O'Nein in me Ave Maria
calls st. Joseph the premier of patron
saints, and he substantiates that claim
in brilliant argument. That saint
so uniquely privileged as was the mas
ter of the hciv house of Nazareth
should be -selas.ted as the special patron
of various classes of fervent Catholics
is only natural: and accordingly we
find him invoked with peculiar insist
enee by different categories of the
faithful. He is proposed, in the first
place, as the patron of the clergy: and
the eongruity of the choice is mani

Marrow ESCAPE Of -lshop Ludden.

Bishop Ludden and Father Kennedy
of Syracuse had a narrow escape from

New York TO sail for Porto Rico and

were saved themselves was owing. it

Discovered a State" Church.

At LAST the Deseret News has
~ found something which it boas--
fully reproduces to substantiate
its claim that New Mexico was denied
admission as a state because its people
were completely dominated by clerical
influences. 1t is discovered in the sec
ond volume of Encyclopedia Diction-
airy of American Reference" contain
ing this statement under the head Of
New Mexico:
'''rhe fear that a state church would
be established by the Mexicans in the
state has prevented its admission = the
Union.
Beyond establishing the date of GER
tain events and the names of pefsons
figuring in them. the comments of
these compiIers of encyclopaedia die
tionaries bear no more value toward
establishing accuracy than do the "om-
ments of the Deseret News or the
pamphlets of the Rev. Thomas F.
Tiff If the Deseret News is anxious
to substantiate its assertion that con-
gress rejected New Mexieo's claim be-
cause of national hostility TO Jesuits.
why not produce it from the Congress
ional Record? That is certainly a
more reliable source of information
than is the cheap publications turned
out every day for the book trade.
The absurd mention Of state church
in the paragraph quoted from the die
tiopary discovers the compiler's ignor-
ance of the subject treated. Think of
state church in any part of this
republic,
How would the Deseret News like TO
rest its case upon the pamphlets sent
out by the Rev. Thomas F. Tiff?

Copper in 1902,

A CCORDING to advance sheets of
n the Copper Handbook. soon TO be
issued, Utah made a larger per
centage gain in copper production than
any of the mineral-bearing states.
Montana did not produce so big a pro-
portion of the copper during 1901 as
she did in 1900. All other states show
an increase in production, but Nor
tana shows falling off. OF course,
that is largely owing to the shutdown
of the largest producing mines during
the last months of the year. The pro-
duction by states is given as follows:
