ARCHBISHOP KATZER DEAD.

Before the sun went down on the day Pope Leo
died, another preate of the Catholic faith passed
into eternal reward Archbishop Katzer head
of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, died at Fond du
Lac, Wis
Men are born. into the world and men pass out
of it every minute of the day, and we reckon not
the vast multitude who live in obscurity and die
forgotten SO. soon as the grave closes over Them
1t is only the truly great who survive in the mem
DRY of the living and whose deeds while upon
earth remain imperishable. Archbishop Katzer,
in life, was not remarkable for any extraordinary
gifts which would elevate him intellectually above
other heads of the church in this country: but the
circumstance of entering into eternity almost
at the very hour when the spirit of the Holy
Father took flight, links the names of Leo and
Katzer together so closely that in recalling one we
cannot help recalling the other. So it is that
Archbishop Katzers memory will be perpetuated
in the minds of our. children while greater men
will be forgotten. So it is that we remember Mon
roe and Adams best when we recall the coincidence
recording the deaths of both ex-presidents on the
Fourth of July, 1926 So it is that Pope Leo, were
he less than the strong character which left i'm
perishable footprints the sands of time, might
the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, were
his wish gratifed and God yielded His holy will.
None of US can say that God disposed the deaths
of the pope and archbishop in the manner He did,
so taat the lesser would be cherished in common
with the greater in the promise held out to all;
yet the Catholics of Milwaukee might piousy lay
the JUNCTION to their souls that such was Gods
intention and such was Gods will.
Frederick Xavier Katzer was born on February
z, 1914 in Ebensec, a town in upper Austria He
was educated at Gmuden and later at Linz He
came to this country in 1854 graduating from st.
Francis seminary, Milwaukee, two years later.
His ordination to the priesthood took place in
December of the same year. In 1875 he became
secretary to Bishop Kroutbauer of Green Bay.
was made vicaa general four years later, and be-
came bishop ofsGrden Bay in 1886. He was pro-
Noted toathe archdiocese of Milwaukee in. 1880.

sacraments, thereby making ready for the. last
Journey, Aftcrsbeing prepared, whenever he raj
lied little he prayed fervently and asked his pri-
vate secretaries to sayass in his oratory, that
he could assist and shars in the blessings Ct that
divine sacrifice
During the last two days, though he suffered
and was restless on his bed of pain, once did
he murlnur or complain. On Monday, when
death entered the bed chamber and the agony
over, almost simultaneously in every civilized land
the cry went up, THE Catholic church is in
mourning, the pope is dead" Since Monday,
wherever there is daily paper, his long life and
successful reign as the successor of st. Peter has
been published, and all agree that the world pro-
fitted b his years, and that he she'd luster the
papalthronc.
Farewell, Leo NH. The papacy, of which you
were the distinguished and illusrious head will be
IN mourning till we can hail your successor.

AGAIN we remind readers interested in the "Con-
versations of Our Club that the arguments nye
sented in debate we're inspired by conditions exist
ing nearly half century ago. while Brownson lived
ana was IN his vigor. Rather should these writ

erature which reflected the I---ess of Brown

position OF present conditions of Catholic educa-

past quarter century, that our Catholic paro-
chal schools today invite praise from even non

A special correspondent of The London Catho-
nc LINES, writing from Germany on the results
OF recent German elections, perceives other than
theological significance to the socialistic growth
He says:
1t means that the German worlzmen almost
everywhere, and the German peasants in MANY
Places are wearied of the burden of militarism. It
means that the landed classes, who tax the peo-
pies food to keep up their own prices, have pro-
yoked resistance"

holding the priest who officiated at the mass, with
game cock in his arms, ready to take part in The
sport with the congregation. Such proceeding
in the presence of her Protestant companion, the
lady felt was humiiating. She looked at her
friend, as if expecting he would demand an ez
PLANTATION; she felt that she was helpless to give
any answer. The gentleman asked for none, and
she laid it to his chivalrous courtesy and the
knowledge that the incident panied her.
About year after this event the lady ap
peared one day in a New York church to make
visit to the Blessed Sacrament. Only one man
and herself were in the church and this man was
ON his knees in humble alteration. As 1t hap
