Cardinal Newman.

IT HE publication of two letters from
the pen Of Cardinal Newman by
the London Tablet. entrusted to it
by lady who was received by him
into the Catholic church in 1872. recalls
the memory of one whose attitude in
the famous oxford movement shook
that institution to its very foundation,
and whose conversion TO the Catholic
faith administered the severest blow
the Church of England ever received.
John Henry Newman, like st. Paul of
old, was changed by q stroke OF grace
from a most rabid antagonist of the
Catholic church into one of its stanch
est defenders and ornamental pillars,
and that, too, like the latter at time
when his zeal was greatest.
In 1928 Newman was appointed to
the vicarage Of st. Mary's oxford, and
il was during. this incumbency that he
became aware OF the dangers which
threatened the Church of England
from the invasion of freethinkers on
the one hand and tendencies toward
Romanism on the osSer. Resolving to
devote his zeal and energy to the res
cue of his mother church from the i'm
pending evils" he applied himself to a
study of the ancient fathers and made
many researches with a view of re-
forming and re-establishing her upon
their doctrines and principles. 1t wss
during this study and research that
he made a discovery which first
shocked him. then urged him to fur
Their research, and finally resulted in
his embracing the Catholic faith. Re
ferring to this discovery, he writes in
his Apologize:
1T was difficult TO make out how the
Entychians and Monophyites we're
heretics, unless Protestants and Angli-
cans were heretics also. 1t was diff
cult TO condemn the pope of the six
teenth century without condemning the
popes Of the fifth. The principles and
proceedings of the chruch Roman)
now, were those of the church CRoman)
then; the principles and proceedings of
heretics then were those of Protestants
now. / found it so almost fearfully:
there was an awful similitude betweed
the records Of the dead past and the
feverish chronicles of the present. The
shadow of the fifth century was upon
the sixteenth. 1t was like a spirit ris-
ing from the old world with the face
and lineaments of the new =

controversy or of defending my posi-

which we are indebted to the London
Tablet and which we hereto append,

HOW TO HAVE A STRONG CATHo-
Lie PAPER.

The way to have strong Catholic
paper" declares the Pittsburg OBJ
server. lis for every family to take a
copy of 1t and to pay for it and for
every parish, society and merchant to
advertise in it. There is no danger
that it will have too much support.
The more money it receives the more
money it can spend tn buy articles
and to get news The ay to have a
weak Catholic press is for the people
not to subscribe for it or after taking
it not to pay what they owe for it, so
as to exhaust its capital, and for every
one who has any organization to main
tain or any business to carry on or any
project to boom to ask for free adver-
Using in it and get mad if this is not
granted. The Catholic papers are not
endowed or subsidized by the church
They must get along or sink into fail
ure on the support that is accorded
them. The more support they obtain.
the better they will be. The less their
support the weaker their force and the
sooner their end"

The Railroad Situation.
THE BUILDING of Moffats line,
known as the Denver, Northwest

'I11 DO1hO1NG Ol MOlldJ > lllle,
known as the Denver, Northwest
ern & Pacific, from Denver to Salt
Lake, puts an entirely different face on
the railroad situation, so far as those
two cities are concerned. It's immense
Importance to the two cities can only
be understood By glancing at the plans
which were being carried out by the
other roads. The Hartman system on
the north (Which includes the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific and the
Gould system on the south (Which in
eludes the Missouri Pacific and D. &
r. g. were each bent on getting a
route which would reach the Pacific
coast in the shortest possible time. In
pursuit of this idea, the Hartman
roads were making the cutoff across
Great Salt lake, and the Gould lines
were preparing to tunnel through the
mountains at Salina, and thus in each
case cutting out Salt Lake City, ex-
cept as side trip. Denver was in
the same position. The Union Pacific
intended rushing it's trains through
Cheyenne, away to the north of Den
yer, and the Gould lines were rush
ing their trains through Pueblo, 120
miles to the south of Denver. Thus
Denver would be in pocket, the same
as Salt Lake City. Those great sys-
TENS seemed Indifferent to the import
ance of the two cities, and We're bent
only on racing to the coast. Sud-
denly, however, they were brought

from Salt Lake to Los Angeles will
join with him, and the other roads

shorter than theirs, and tapping the
two principal cities between the Mis-
souri, river and the Pacific coast. An
eastern connection is ready from Den
yer, in the shape of the Rock Island
road Moffatt, like Clark, has fought
his way UP to great wealth, through
all kinds of obstacles, and not all the
railroad magnates and fnanciers of
New York can brighten or turn him
from his purpose. There is just one
thing for the Hartman and Gould roads
to do now, if they can expect to get any
great share of the business, and that
is to run their main lines through
Denver and Salt Lake CITY, and as
those shrewd operators may be trusted
to know what is good for them, they
will doubtless begin taking steps in
that direction at once, and Salt Lake
City will get the full benefit of it

Henry Wits son, was the hrst TO es-
tablish the Protestant religion in Eng
land. The father, Henry VIII, though
denying the papal supremacy was less
that one article of faith, a Catholic,
and wrote in defense of the Catholic
faith against Luther. Not only was
he Catholic, but he made Protestant
ism capital offense. During his reign
the Catholic tendency was sustained In
the church. After his death and during
the reign of his son and successor,
Professionalism gained the ascendency,
and the church remodeled to conform
with the reformed churches in the con-
tinent. The ancient faith to which the
English people were once devoted ana
for which many died, was changed and
, disowned. On the death of Edward VI,
Mary, the daughter of Katherine of
Aragon, assembled the throne. AS queen
of England she reopened communion
with Rome and strove to establish the
faith of her fathers. Her devotion and
sincere regard for truth were the hon
est inheritance of the mothers good
qualities, whilst her zeal, misdirected
and not always judicious, widened the
breach between Catholics and Protest
ants.
Elizabeth, who succeeded Mary, was
like her father, through conviction
! Catholic, and would have brought the
Anglican church back to Rome if, on
Catholic principles, she could maintain
| he, ,i,rl,t Of L. rI.,,o1
| This was impossible since the holy see
had already decided that the marriage
of her father and mother-Anne Boleyn
was invalid. There being no COM
promise, circumstances forced Eliza
beth to sever her connection with Rome
and adopt the Anglican faith. During
| her reign great evolution was taking
place in the religious thoughts of the
English people. The Catholic tendency
was not so great as it was when Henry
! assumed to be the spiritual head, but it
was greater than it was under Edward
| VI. In the struggle for supremacy
both the Catholic and Protestant par
ties were evenly divided during Eliza
| beth's reign. The thirty-nine articles
termed Articles of Peace" were so
equivocally worded that they might be
interpreted to suit either party.
The Catholic tendency though pow
erfully resisted more than held it's own
during Elizabeth's reign and that of
the Stuarts. So strong was the ten
| dency that at one time, under Arch
bishop Laud, a reunion of the Anglican
church with Rome was expected. The
revolution of 1858 gave an unexpected
turn to religious affairs. The reform
ers were victorious, and under the
house of Hanover the Anglican church
was permanently established, and has
since reigned supreme. Under it's wing
| Edward VII would be indicted into Of
| flee, become its spiritual head, soemnly
swear that the most sacred and SOL
emn teaching of Christianity for 1900
years is idolatorous. After all the fuss
over the oath, it may never be taken.

Drinking Among Women.

A NEW YORK doctor says that wo-
u men "the country over" are drink
ing more and more every day,
while men are drinking less. The
statement as to men is unquestionably
correct, especially if limited to the
more intelligent, better educated and
more prosperous male members of the
community. 1t is quite true, as this
New York doctor says, that drinking
in business hours, SO common once.
is not viewed with favor now, and
that even the moderate drinker is re-
garded as undesirable by the business
world. Among many classes of men
whose excessive drinking was the rule
fifty years ago extreme moderation is
the rule now.
Is it really the case, however, that
there is such an increase of drinking
among women 1.-The country over" as
to be IAN awful or vital danger to the
well-being of the nation? 1t is diff
cult to believe that women, who have
learned from sorrowful experience the
misery that the drink habit among
men can cause, should themselves take
to drinking at time when men are
beginning to be more moderate in their
use of liquor?
This is not the only alarming state
ment which has been made of late
concerning American women. 1t has
been said that they are becoming, 'all
over the country" the slaves of opium.
There is no reason to believe in the
truth of either statement, especially
when so broadly made as to cover the
entire United States. There are now,
as there have been in the past, women
who drink too much. That there is an
increased number of these is not i'm
possible, in view of the large increase
centage has increased is quite an
other matter. 1t is not impossible,
also, that the feeling which so many
American women once had that it was
sinful TO drink a glass of wine or beer
has lost something of it's strength, but
it would not follow therefrom that the
women of this country are on the eve
of becoming drunkards.
Some doctors are emotional and have
not the scientific spirit. They draw
sweeping conclusions from exceedingly
narrow promises. 1t is altogether pos
sible that the New York doctor VINO
has been referred to has met in his
practice of late with an unusual num-
Der of drinking women and has jumped
at the conclusion that women "aH over
the country are beginning to drink too
much.

Philippine PROSECUTING.

TNHE question of prosleytising in the
Philippines has been discussed in
many of our exchanges. Without
investigating, they take for granted all
that bogus correspondents write. The
Milwaukee Citizen is an honorable ex-
ception. Without condemning princi-
pals of schools, their assistants or their
sources regarding the creed of those
who hold high positions in the schools
at Manila and other parts of the ISL
ands. These holding such positions were
daubed Revs. by correspondents who
wrete to Catholic papers on the ques-
ton of education. The answers re-
ceived show that only one had the pre-
fix Rev" to his name, and that, fur
thermore, none of those were known as
religious zealots.

Appleton's late Cyclopedia and Atlas
has attracted the attention Of the Cath
Ole press Of the country. All articles
relating to the Catholic church have
been written with such bias as not only
TO misrepresent but to distort the real
facts. Publishers appealing to the pub
lie for patronage should be fair in dis
cussing religious questions. To be fair
the questions treated should be written
by members Of the. church who are
competent to give their side. In the
book referred TO this rule has been ig
nored. The Messenger" for June has
done grand work in pointing out the
fallacies pertaining to Catholic history.
Its presence in any Catholic home
should not be tolerated.
