1t seems that benign and merciful Heaven
would never weary in reminding that they are
ever standing the brink of eternity, and yet we
live if expected this earthly existence to be
everlasting. Two frightfu calamties within twenty
four hours, in which scores of human beings were
summoned to meet their Maker and Judge with
out moments warning, should verify cause us to
pause in our mad pursuit for worldly goods and
pleasures, and set into order our spiritual affairs
On Thursday night tornado struck the town of
Snyder, OF, instantly killing nearly one hundred
persons and more or less seriously iniuring about
$50 others. On the following morning disas-
trous wreck occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad
resulting in the death of about twenty and the in
jury of between sixty and seventy persons Shall
these solemn warnings be all-unheeded?

bombastic ebulition of iridescent pyrotechnic
symbolisms would probably be an apt characterize
ton of page of editorial comment in one of our
most pretentious exchanges, all employed to en-
bellish the simple statements that Lawson is self
confessed thief and that Rockefeller may not be
black as he is painted. The writer might CLEAN

Hicting upon his readers mass of meaningless jar

may be thief. but he invariably gives his readers
full quid pro quo for their money-and their

Lest we be misunderstood because of our re-
marks elsewhere in these columns concerning
Tom" Lawson and his character we hasten to pro-
claim our honest antipathy for thief; thief is
but little less despicable than is a liar. We have
in mind, however, a certain penitent malefactor
with whom we would not be averse to exchange lots
almost any day; and we confess also, that we are
sufficiently sentimental to believe in the penitence
of Lawson. At worst-judging from all available
data-this very remarkable man was as a black
sheep among a nasty pack of woves--or NANCY by
enas-and if he is willing to serve as bait to lure
force-the more loathsome "varmint" to their
dire destruction, are just heartless enough to
pat him on the back and hail him as a good fellow
God speed you, Lawson, say VIC!

Mr.. John Redmond, in scathing arraignment
of England's policy III the government of Ireland
declared that he would not hesitate to urge his con-
stituency to armed revolt-had he any hope that
they might succeed. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, Liberal leader in the house of commons. re-
newed III unqualified terms, his declaration of
plete sympathy with the champions of Home Rule

opposition to English domination, which can only
be finally quenched by complete surrender to the
demand for Irish autonomy. God hasten the day !!

In of our esteemed Catholic contemporaries
a writer who poses light in matters literary,
recommends one of the works of Hamilton Wright
Mabe as among the very first volumes to be secured
for a choice collection of books. As there are pub
lished a number of volumes by our own Spalding
Bishop of PEORIA that practically the same
range Of subjects and in an incomparably more ex-
cellent manner-view them from any standpoint
you wiIl-one marvels at this critics choice. Only
in one respect does Mabie even approach Spaldiug
viz: That of diction; and in this respect Spading
probably has superior in the language Query:
Is this critics penchant to appear broad and lib
eral of so virulent type to preclude his being
fair to Catholic author2 If so, he would be but
just to his youthful readers by urging them to give
their preference to Ruskin or Emmerson rather
than Mabe, charming as are the essays of this last
named author.

Judge Dunno, according to some reports, is not
in complete harmony with the best Catholic thought
on the school question This, all of course, re-
gret. If true, however, the fact alone would hard
ly disqualify this stawart friend of the common
people from enjoying the distinction of being the
first Catholic to preside the destinies of this
great nation as chief magistrate, any more than
it would place him outside of the pales of the
Church, of which he is reputcd to be loyal and
dutiful member.

Superbly apt and admirably concise IS the toll
lowing eIucidation of a vital problem-from the
Catholic editors standpoint-whch appeared IN a
late issue of The Catholic Light: with few excep-
tons the Catholic editors of the country appear to
favor public ownership of public utilities. The
adoption of such a system unquestionably would
be death blow to Socialism. 1t would make 1t Inn
possible incidentally, let it be stated, 1t would be
a similar death blow to the ravenous trusts, Some
would be slain outright and others frightened off
their perch No wonder the Catholic press fayors
killing two birds with one stone"

The Encyccal of our Holy Father, Plus Y.
Con the Teaching of the Catechsm,' is certainly
a model, of the highest order. in all respects. Its
language is classical in its simplicity, purity and
excellence of diction As a terse, eloquent and IN
tisive indication of the grave moral and spiritual
evils OF our age, it leaves nothing to be desired
whilst the eoquence and tender ardor with which
His Holiness pleads for a more faithful conform
ity to the principles and ideals of the Christian
religion loudly proclaims his own devoted loyalty
tc the Divine Master whose most humb, though
most exalted servant he is, as well as his touchngy
tender sohcitude in behalf of the spiritual well-be
ins CT the human as a whole. This eloquent
and affectonate plea must touch the hearts of all
who read it, and that it will tend to re-enkindle
the smouldering embers of divine love in the
hearts of the multitude is fondly and confidently
to be hoped. We regret that cannot give the full
text of his noble document to our read rs in this
ISSUE but promise to do so in our next

The fact that the nasty brood of revolutionary

Speaking of mystery-s not one of It's most re-
markabe phases to be disccrned in the fact that the
very idea of it should be repugnant to a rational
being! little rational reflection leads to the con-
viction that all rational life would be simply unen-
durable if by any possibility it were utterly bereft
of all idea of mystery. The unknown or uncompre-
hended is the goal whose achievement is mans
greatest boom "There is more pleasure in pursuit
than i'll possession" No sooner is that which one
strives for with all his heart and soul finally
achieved, than its soul-alluring charms van
ish even as does the unsubstantial mist fly before
the rays of the approaching orb of day. and we're
there not something still beyond still to be achieved
all interest in life must be absolutely at an end So
at least it is in the natural order And as to the
supernatural order, would not the very idea of
Heaven itself pail upon the heart and mind could
be led to believe that its mysteries would become
exhausted with its possession? How fatuous and
foolish, therefore, the man who will sneer or rail
at mystery, whether in the natural or supernatural
order!

great German is giving his life to science from mo-
