this last mild effort of our legislature
let us remember that it is not MANY
years ago that Minnesota legislature
changed the law in reference to de-
sertion. Formerly it was the law of
this state that no divorce could be
obtained on the ground of desertion
unless the desertion continued for a
period of three years, now one year of
desertion is sufficient. This enactment,
it is said, was put through to help out
a certain prominent citizen who could
not wait three years. Divorce is made
easy by legislation on desertion. OF
the forty-five states IS require only
one year desertion, II two years, IS
three years, in Rhode Island it is five
years, in Louisiana ten years and in
South Carolina desertion is never Il
cause for divorce. A great deal could
be done by uniform divorce law
throughout the United States, prohibit
ing guilty parties from remarrying.
Until something of this kind is done
marriage will continue to mean very
little in the United tSates.

Catholic Missionary Work.

A report has been made public re-
Gently showing that the Society for
the rolmgation of the Faith in Lyons
has collected and disbursed during
the past year $1,319.tOS.93. While
this enormous sum of money is some
measure of the activity in the Catholic
Church in regard to the missionary
work, still this is a report from only
one of the many societies that are en-
gagged in missionary enterprises.
There has never been published any
available figures which gather to-
gether in any statistical statement the
expenses of carrying on the entire
missionary propaganda In the Catho-
lie Church. The Methodists raised
S2O,O0O,00O during the past two years
as their Twentieth Century thank
Offering. and while this is Il splendid
showing. still it must be remembered
that in the United States alone the
Catholic Church raises S15.OOO.0O0
every year for parish school purposes.
to say nothing of the generous dona-
tons that are offered for the propa-
CATION of the faith.
OF the immense sum that was raised
and distributed by the Lyons society,
$4,000 was contributed by the Catho
lie people in the United States. When

taken into consideration, $4,000 seems
to be mere bagatelle, and when fig

OF course this is ridiculously small.
Still, probably in all the world there
is no people who have so many de-

no people that give so generously in
proportion to their means.
While the Lyons Society for the
Propagation OF the Faith is one of the

airy organizations, yet there are others
in this country that are also looking
after domestic needs. The Josephites
are caring for the spread of the church
among the negroes, the Indian Preser-
walton Society is looking out after the
redmen, and the Apostolic Mission
House, which is now in process of
erection at Washington, is fostering
the spread Of Catholic teaching among
the non-Catholics in the United States.
1t is difficult to compare the various
spheres of missionary work in either
Importance or in usefulness. 1t would
be rather an invidious task, inasmuch
as it is a question of saving souls,
and all souls are equally valuable be-
fore God. whether they animate the
heather in the far East, OF the negro
in the South, or the red Indian in the
West, or the convert from Protestant
ism.
There is one thing that is very GER
tain, and that is, the measure of the
depth of ones own religion is the
generosity with which he gives to its
advancement among others who pos
sess it not. 1t is very frequently said
in the work of making converts that
one never begins to appreciate his re-
ligion so much as when he has SC
ceeded in making one a convert to it,
and there is a whole lot of truth in
this statement. The non-Catholic Mis-
sion movement, if it had done nothing
else among the priesthood and people
of this country, has awakened love
and appreciation of the church that in
many instances had heretofore lain
dormant. There is a whole genera
ton of better, more earnest, and more
aggressive Catholics on account of it.

Of advertising a year must be got for
the morning, the evening and the
Sunday together, in order that eX-
penses may be met. Speaking very
roundly, one-half of all this would go
into the Sunday editions and the other
half would be divided between the 313
morning and the 313 evening papers
one-half in 50 papers, the other half
in 626 papers.
1t is thus apparent that the Sunday
edition is the backbone of the big one

small, but still profit-in its white
paper. Because of it's larger circula-

his daily bread as laborer in the Ma

every morning, except Sunday, at half
past five O'Clock, walks a mile and Il
half to the mill, where he is employed
in handling heavy pipe until half-past
five, after which he returns to his
home on foot. Work is his life, Null
len says, and the only thing to disturb
his peace of mind is the fear that his
employers may soon discharge him on
account of his age. He owns his little
home and has a competence to last
him the rest Of his days. but he scorns
the suggestion that he has earned a
rest and should quit work. When in
conversation with an interested listen
er Nullen's dark eyes still sparkle
with the same brightness that won
him laurels as sha1pshooter during
the civil war, during which he fought
in the famous Seventy-seventh New
York regiment. known as the ''bloody

boasts of his prowess with the rifle
and of how he was highly compliment

During his busy life he has managed

Mullen has an authentic record of
his birth and parentage from the par

Mullen says he was born June &c.

LESS HARMONY TALK.

1t is about time for Democrats to
stop talking about harmony, reorgan-
iZation and past party loyalty. The
battles that have been fought are his
tory. All this harmony talk results
only in emphasizing past differences
and does harm rather than good. The
party leaders must face about and
look to the future and not the past for
the battle field. The Democratic party
whose origin synchroniZes with that
of the nation, does not depend upon
any man or set of men. 1t has stood
in the past for the principles upon
which this nation was founded. At
no time during our history was there
greater need Of reasserting and en-
phasizing those principles than there
is at the present time. This nation
was born at time when the rights
of man were being everywhere pro-
claimed. The literature of the time
breathed of democracy. Every con-
test of arms involved personal rights.
The movement eliminated, it may be
said, in the French revolution. Re-
ligious liberty, freedom of speech and
of the press, the right of the governed
to govern, all these matters were press
ed forward. 1t was at such time
that the United States took it's place
among the nations of the world. The
party of Jefferson at that time stood
the champion of personal rights and
the enemy of ruling classes. There
it has stood during almost the entire
time since. To say that the party has
not been wrong and has not made mis-
takes, would be to stultify ourselves.
But the unbiased historian will record
the fact that the Democratic party
stood for personal rights and individ-
ualism. 1t has believed in bringing
government home to the people. 1t
has contended for local self-govern-
ment rather than for strongly cen
tralized government. The Declaration
of Independence contained the prin-
ciDles of it's founders
Since the Civil war the immense in
lustrial progress of the country has
engaged the attention of the Ameri-
can people to such an extent, that
they have really lost sight of the prin-
ciples for which the Revolution was
fought. In the last few years. So
called statesmen have asserted that
the Declaration of Independence was
all right in it's time. but now was a
mere tumble of ''glittering generali-
ties.' There is need right now Of
strong Democratic party. A party
which will not rest content so long
as there are any people under the
American flag to whom either the
right of self-government or what is
the same thing, participation in the
affairs of this government, is denied.
Past mistakes can only be important
now as lessons teaching us what to
avoid in the future. Let time decide
who shall be the leaders in the next
fight. That is important only to the
extent that able, true and fearless men
be selected. The important thing is
to be sure that the party remains true
to it's fundamental principles. A lit
tie more insistence upon time honored
principles and Il little less about the
party loyalty of this one or that one
would, we believe. he healthful ut
this time.
