ter to act the noble life, says the
Philadelphia Catholic Standard and
Times. When we find it stated that
the French Protestant clergyman, the
Rev. Charles Wagner, who was re-
ceived here with much distinction, was
set down to marry divorced general
to lady of equal claim to a life of
simplicity, we can understand what
the French phrase, "It is to laugh"
means. Divorced persons have proved
that pretended simplicity in life really
means duplicity in life in most cases.
There is basest deception and lowest
animal passion at the bottom of al
most every divorce case, besides SOW
ereign contempt for the law of God.
"The Everlasting has fixed His canon"
against divorce as strongly as He has
against self-slaughter. They are no
true ministers of His who reject that
canon; and they are doubly recreant
when they are such moralists as the
author of "The Simple Life"-men of
lip service merely, hollow.hearted, like
Dead Sea apples.

Mana Little Cuss,

Man is a little cuss and hasn't long
to stay; he flies around and makes a.
fuss and then he hikes away. Some
men imagine they are great, and try
to tear up Jack, but each one meets
the same old fate and trots the same
old track. Great Caesars died and
turned to clay, and so has Cicero, and
Alexander's gone the way the rest Of
us must go. The sages, heroes, poets,
all the men of wealth and worth, into
an open grave must fall and crumble
back to earth. Then let's not join the
mad ARRAY and struggle like the deuce.
and agonize our life away, for really.
what's the use? Let's live and love
and sing the while, and work some
now and then, and give to everyone
smile that cheers the hearts of men,
And whether we are crowned with
flowers or chilled with winter SHOWS.
with happiness let's fill the house era
we turn up our toes.

Still another proof of the need of
home rule in Ireland is the steady ret
regarding Of the Nationalist schools
under Unionist management, says the
Boston Pilot. This was the subject of
an important speech in the House Of
Commons by John Dillon, M. p, on
July 25, to which, much against their
will, the Conservatives were compelled
to listen. The new school rules EN-.
body the old story of attempted Prot
estant and English ascendancy in Ire
land. While the rights of the hum
blest Protestant school are respected,
the Catholic schools and teachers are
mulcted in supplies and salaries In
the British financial interest. The
small grant heretofore given for the
encouragement of the Irish language
is to be withdrawn. The amalgama.
ton of the schools of small boys
with girls schools, while anything but
advantageous to the children, neces-
sarily decreases teachers places; and
the whole scheme is in its last analy.
sis, an attempt to starve out Irish edu-
cation. Strangely enough, Colonel
Saunderson, the veteran Orangeman,
agreed with the Nationalists, most
openly and emphatically. The case is
by no means closed, as the government
has many forces besides the simply
political to contend with in this new
injustice to Ireland.

A case involving the question of
damages for loss of position through
the "unionizing" of shop has been
docketed in the United States supreme
court at Washington. 1t is termed,
Jerry E. Donovan VS.. Michael T. Per-
ry. The former was the representa-
tive of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union in Haverhiil, Mass, and entered
into a contract with the employers ol
the latter to provide them with a
union label. Perry, who, under the
conditions, had to be discharged,
brought suit against Donovan and the
trial court awarded him $780, This
action was affirmed by the superior
court of Massachusetts. The case has
been transferred to Washington, hav-
ing been taken there by Donovan on a
writ of error. The final decision will
be awaited with much more than or
binary interest by the whole labor
world.

Pope's Health 10 Good.

The composer Perosi and several
members of the Gregorian commission
will soon leave Rome to attend the
congress Of Gregorian chant, to be
held in Strassburg on the 10th of this
month. The Pope is much interested
in the work Of this congress, which
is designed especially to promote gen.
eral interest in the ancient chant OF
the church, which the present Pope
has done SO much to restore to it's
primitive form and use.
The Pope's health continues to be
good, although he suffered, few days
ago, from severe toothache and a
dentist had to be called in to relieve
him. 1t is generally thought that Plus

Minnesota and the Dakotas are sp.en.

them may also be said of states still
farther west. Why should Irishmen not
live on farms? They are really an agri-
cultural people and wherever they
have deserted the country for the
city they have proved themselves

period of time, where they have been

prosperous and influential.
1t is pleasure to say an encourag-

WAS A FERvENT CATHOLIC.

The late Lord Chief Justice Russell,
Baron Killowen, of England, was a
man who practiced Catholicity with a
fervency which is an example for
others of the faith to follow. Some
years ago the distinguished jurist
whose name and fame is known
throughout the civilized world, in a
letter addressed to The London Times
said of the Sacrament of Penance:
During over sixty years l have
made certainly more than 100 con-
fessions, to hundreds of different con-
fessors, and in various countries, and
have never discovered therein any
trace Of wrong or harm. In addition
to my belief in priests power Of
absolution, which as Catholic hold,
have found that the duties, incident
to every confession of making a care

express and vigorous mental act Of

sin, most useful; and though these

made. My experiences Of confession

A COMMEMORATE MOVEMENT

The movement in South Dakota,
conducted by the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians in that state, for the pur-
chase of large tract of land for the
benefit of all members of the organiza-
tion who have in view life on the
farm, will be hailed with more than or
binary satisfaction by Irishmen every.
where. It is a notable step, one that
will do much in still further advanc-
ing the name and fame of the great
order that has fathered the project.
The purpose and aims appeal to all
and can we'll be commended. In no
better way can the Irish people gain
in strength and influence than by
taking the course thus mapped out by
the A. o. H. society. The disposition
to largely settle in the cities of the
country. heretofore so commonly prac.
tced, has not been productive Of good

and I have always noticed in myself

and have always noticed In myself
and others that devoutness and regu.
lar attendance at confession and at
Holy Communion, which it ordinarily
precedes, ebb and t1ow together"
Referring to the quotation given, the
Michigan Catholic very truly says:
'The above expressions of faith in
the great Sacrament which cleanses
our soul from the stain of sin, and Of
which the Savior has said, "Whatso-
ever you shall loose on earth shall be
loosed in Heaven; and whatsoever
YOU shall bind on earth shall be bound
in Heaven" we're made by the leader
of his profession in England, and by
one who gloried in upholding his re-
ligion in public as we'll as in private
life. Lord Russell never forgot the
Catholicity taught him in his Irish
home.
"How many Catholics are there who
delay their Confessional duties year
after year, waiting on a deathbed re-
pentance to make their peace with
God? Lord Russell, great and learned
as he was, did not rely upon a death
bed repentance. Seventeen hundred
confessions in sixty years of a true
Catholic life is worthy example of
duty to God, His church, and the SAL
vation of ones soul. The Sacrament
Of Penance is the channel through
which all can again gain the grace and
mercy Of God.

A very interesting column of the st.
Paul Dispatch each Saturday is it's re-
production of news and comment of 40
years ago. 1t was in 1865. At that
time there was sentiment amongst
the people of St. Anthony, now Min
neapolis, that Nicollet island should
be made park, with pubic bath as
a prominent feature. It was happy
thought, but was never put into effect
and the city is without a bathing place
today. Here is the clipping as repro
duced in the Dispatch: "Nicollet ISL
and, between Minneapolis and St. An.
thony, is destined to be one of the
prettiest places in the state, as we'll as
one of the most popular resorts. It's
owners contemplate laying out large
park in the center with walks and
drives. 1t is already visited by many
who enjoy it's cool shade and pleasant

spoken of as one of the features"

The Rev. DR.. O'Riordan in his re-
Gently published volume quotes some
statistics which Protestant controver-
sialists would do we'll to note. Ac.
cording to the "Statesmen's Year
Book" there is: I'm Holland, 1 pau.
per to every 20 inhabitants. In Ger
many, 1 pauper to every 81 inhabi-
tants. In Norway, 1 pauper to every
Is inhabitants. In Great Britain and
Ireland, l pauper to every 80 inhabi-
tants." These are Protestant coun-
tries. Compare their figures with
those of Catholic countries: I'm Bel.
GUM, pauper to every 1921 inhabi-
tants. In Austria, pauper to every
145 Inhabitants" Lest it should be
argued that Ireland increases the pau
per statistics of the Three Kingdoms,
it is as we'll to add that the pauper-
ism in Ireland is less than in either
England or Scotland. In Ireland the
figure is to 43, in England to 80,
in Scotland to 33.
