How a Priest Killed Grab Bill.

A story which the writer heard some
years ago. and which has an obvious
point in connection with what the
writer is trying to say here, was told
by one of the lobbyists who had been
engaged in pushing grab Sbill'
through the New York legislature. The
bill failed to pass, and the reform
organiza tons and newspapers of New
York City, which had denounced it and
its sponsors in unmeasured terms, re-
garded its failure as one of those rare
triumphs of aroused public sentiment
TO which the corrupt legislators had
bent and bowed. The lobbyists had
curiously different version of the mat
ter. He said the bill was killed by a
little parish priest in one of the slum
districts Of New York. who. somehow.
had got interested in the measure and
had come up to Albany and apparently
with amazing innocence had asked the
ring leader of strike legislation. who
was one of the active promoters of this
particular bill. to use his influence
against it. The little priest knew moth
ing about politics and read the papers
but little; but he had known for a life
time this particular politician and
knew intimately a side of him not
familiar to newspaper readers. He be-
lieved in him implicitly and in abso-
lutely good faith asked him TO use his
inf1uence against the bill, and sue
ceeded. According to the lobbyist, who
presumably knew what he was talking
about. the little priest had been more
powerful in his influence against the
legislation which he opposed than all
the newspapers and reform bodies in
New York together. He was more
powerful, because he was better armed
he knew the good side of a bad man
and how to appeal to it.-George A.
Alger. in the August Atlantic.

Conversion a Slow Process.

II IS common opinion among non
Catholics that the Catholic Church is
so eager for converts that she is ready
to snap up every Protestant who. mot
having the fear of Rome before his
eyes, may happen to be looking the
other way when a priest is at hand
Of course this is absurd. as those WHO
have been converted from Protestant
ism know. It is not so easy as it
seems for a non-Catholic to enter the
Catholic Church. A sudden enthusiasm
for the Church on the part of a non
Catholic does not carry a Catholic
priest off his feet. There are truths
to be learned, and principles to be i'm
bibed, and errors 10 be, repudiated be-
fore this step is taken. The-min1 must
be convinced of the truth of the
Church's teachings. "The process of
conversion" says the Pilot. discussing
this question, lis often slow Never
theless, the priest Will not let his cate
chism go ahead of grace and light As
a case in point we recall the admir-
able story of the conversion from Uni
tarianism of a well-known Bostonian.
Miss Julia G. Robins, as related in a
little pamphlet by herself. The last
obstacle in her way was the doctrine
of the Real Presence. All else was
clear and easy to her. and she longed
for the peace and certainty of the full
ness of the faith. She asked the priest
who was instructing her if, pending
her conviction of this indispensable
article of faith, she should not, at
least, genufiect before the altar as
Catholics do. But he forbade her this
outward sign of faith until conviction
should have come"

Cost Of ParochiaI Schools.

The Darochial schools of the arch
diocese of New York instructed last
year over $4,000 children at a cost of
SO per capita. The average cost in the
public schools was S34 per capita. The
question has arisen whether the cheap
er education is as good as the dearer;
but the smaller cost per capita in the
parochial schools is explained by the
difference in the cost of teachers The
Church has the. services of the religious
orders which are bound by vows of
poverty. They furnish their services at
a compensation which means a bare
livelihood. Nevertheless the parochial
schools of New York seem to stand
the test of comparison admirably. This
was recently indicated at some en-
trance examinations for the normal
college of NV York City. OF the sue
cessful candidates 315 came from
forty-two public schools and 167 from
nineteen parochial schools, an average
of 81 from each parochial school to
IL from each public school-Catholic

Try to Intimidate a Priest.

Because of his relentless prosecution
of those saIoonkeepers who are violat-
ing the state laws and on account OF
the scathing sermons in which he de-
nounced the men engaged in the liquor
traffic and the manufacturers who, ii
is alleged, have attempted to intimi-
date him, Father c. l.. Stuer, pastor of
st. Bavo's Catholic church, MishaWaka.
Ind, was the victim about 8 o'clock
last Thursday morning of an assault.
Huge stones We're used to shatter the
windows Of the parsonage, and the
fearless young priest himself narrowly
escaped injury.
AS a result of the insult Father
Stuer viii continue the fight in a more
determined way than ever before.
Such acts are to be expected from
the degraded and depraved element
which can neither insult nor be insult
ed ne says. Instead of frightening
me, as was undoubtedly the intention,
/ am now more determined than ever
that the saloons of this city must be
closed. / mean those where men and
women can be seen lying inside and
d I the threshold in a beastly state of
intoXication and those establishments
where the state and city laws are be-
ing transgressed. In spite of all
threats ana oferS 10 compromise, | am
determined that the fight which l be
gan in the interest Of my people and
for the uplifting of those who are
daily falling shall be maintained. even
though my life should be required to
pay the penalty"
A committee of his parish called
upon Father Stuer after the attack had
been made upon his house, Offering to
proceed and shatter the windows of
every establishment and residence of
every person connected with the liquor
traffic. but the priest quickly discoun-
tenanced this proposition. The heads
of the three big Brewing companies in
the county also called upon the fear
less pastor, but his answer to them
was that if certain places are not
closed, even though the brewers should
be obliged to purchase. and if a sum
of money be not deposited to be for
feited for a charitable purpose in case
of every violation by those permitted
10 remain in operation, the prosecu-
lions will continue until every bottling
house and saloon in which the laws are
not strictly observed shall be closed.
Three days were given the brewers to
consider the matter and report to
Father Stuer.

Great Writers Not Correct Writers

There is not a single great author in
our literature in whose works nun1er-
Gus errors have not been pointed out or
thought to be pointed out. They are
charged with violating rules involving
the purity if not the permanence of the
language. A somewhat depressing in
ference follows from the situation thus
revealed. The ability to write English
correctly does not belong to the great
masters of our speech. 1t is limited to
the obscure men who have devoted
themselves to the task of showing how
far these Wanted writer's have fallen
short of the ideas of linguistic proprie-
ty entertained by their unrecognized
betters. AS a result of these critical
crusades there is no escape from the
dismal conclusion that the correct use
of the language is not to be found III
the authors whom every one reads with
pleasure but is an accomplishment re-
served exclusively for those whom no.
body can succeed in reading at all.

Value of Monthly Confession.

It's a very bad sign when young
man begins to shirk the duty of month";
ly confession and Communion which.
as a boy. he fulfilled as a matter of
course. This generally happens when.
having left school, he secures a posi-
ton in some store. shop. or factory.
and begins to rub elbows with the vari-
Gus kinds and conditions of men and
women who go to make UP the work-a-
day world. Though he does not sus-
pect it, he is influenced by the atmos-
phere of carelessness in matters of re-
ligion that is characteristic of places
where men and women work. He is
worse Influenced still if his lot be cast
among those who are hostile to Cath
olicism. or to all religion. and who re-
vile or ridicule the things that he has
been taught to hold sacred To young
Catholic thus placed there is nothing
so strengthening to heart and soul as.
frequency in the reception of the sac
raments. Assailed as he is, day after
day, by temptation in all forms. it is
absolutely necessary for him to renew
and repair the bulwark of his spiritual
defences. But ii is at this most critical
period, when his faith and morality
are hanging in the balance that the
spirit of the world weans him from the
observance of his religious duties, which
are MS only safeguard, and ne begins
TO neglect or avoid the monthly con-
fession and Communion that kept him
loyal and undefiled as a boy. The most
insidious form of attack upon the faith
and morality of Catholic youth is rid
icule. The covert sheer of nom
Catholic fellow workman or companion
has too often a most deDlorable effect
upon q Catholic young man; and it is
generally found to do more damage to
his convictions than an open and I'M
disguised TRADE against the teachings
and practices Of the church. A we'll
Informed Catholic will recognize in
this ridicule only a sign Of ignorance
or malice but an imDressionable and
imperfectly instructed young man al
most unconsciously begins to apollo

Archbishop incorrectly Reported.

Archbishop Simon, who is visiting
the Poles in this country, in the course
of an interview with a reporter of the
Telegram, of Youngstown, o.. had
something to say about his many in
terviews with newspaper men. He
said that the only complaint he had
occasion to make was concerning a
Detroit reporter who had quoted him
as saying that the present condition
and quality of the Poles here is not
encouraging or conducive to hierarchi-
cal representation. The archbishop en-
phatically and strenuously denied that
he had made such a statement.

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

BY order of the pope there will soon
be published book giving list of all
the works published in Europe since
the year 1909. whose authors awaited
themselves of the Eapal permission to
obtain material for their works from
the vatican archives and library. All
nations are represented in the list. but
only a few italian authors. The pur-
pose of the publication is to show the
usefulness of the vatican collections to
scientists and historians. These did
not obtain the privilege of examining
the many documents in the vatican I'M
til the late pope, soon after his cleo
ton, granted the permission which for
centuries had been refused except in
very special cases.
It is said that the vatican is trying
to establish a nunciature in Picking, as
France is expected to abandon her po-
sition of protector of Catholic missions
in China. The emperor, who has been
approached indirectly upon the ques-
ton, is said to favor the project. Pos
sibly he will send an ambassador to
Rome to treat with the pope on the
matter.
