GIRLS WHO TOLL.
Is the Servant" Better OF Than She
Who Stands Behind Counter?

All is not gold that glitters. There
appears to be more attraction in the
store than in the kitchen for many
girls. Yet are not the girls who live
out much better off, as a rule, than the
girls who stand behind the counter?
We think SO, says the Catholic Uni
verse.
The term servant may not be applied
to the clerks as it is applied to the
girls who live out, yet we are all
designated as servants by the Holy
Scripture. The final blessing will be
couched in the words: We'll done,
good and faithful servant"
Asa matter of fact, the girl in the
store is much more of a servant than
the girl who works out. The clerk
has u hundred mistresses while the
girl who works out has but one. The
clerk is under the constant supervision
of Il taskmaster in the person of the
floor walker OR III that of the proprie-
tor. The clerks must stand and look
pleasant the whole day long, whether
they are in the humor of doing so or
not. Their duties are exacting and
often burdensome.
The tombstone of all labor is the
compensation. The clerk may get
more actual money on pay day, but
when street car fare, room rent, cloth
ing and board bill are settled the net
gain of the clerks is less than that of
the girl who works out.
The girl who works out has, as
rule, better board and better room
and more home-like surroundings than
the clerk. She is more thought of and
gets more consideration than the clerk,
and is nearer to those for whom she
works.
The girl who works out is not ex-
posed to as many temptations as the
clerk, and can exercise more liberty in
choosing her companions. In addition
to ,taat, she is, as rule. better fitted
to preside over a house of her own
when,' as 1t Is to be expected, she will
be called to the matrimonial state.
While there are good and exemplary
girls engaged in clerlzing, were we
asked as to the choosing Of the better
part we would unhesitatingly direct
the young woman who has to earn her
living to choose domestic service.
AS people must be fitted for the
tasks they undertake, proper knowl-
edge and adaptability should pave the
way to success.

thing to his reputation by holding the
presidential Office for another term 1t
Is easy to see, however. how he might
lose great deal in an attempt to get
another term. 1t is almost certain
that he would lose. Much as there is
about President Roosevelt to admire.
1t would be a sad mistake for him to
submit his name to the next Republic
can national convention. We do not
believe that he will do SO. He has re-
iterated time and again that he is now
serving his last term. If it were not
for the fact that other WELL balanced
men have allowed their Judgment to
be swayed and warped by fatal am
billions there would be no question
that President Roosevelts decision has
been finally made. He is an able man
and knows full well that longer term
in the presidential office would not add
anything to his place In history. IT.,
like Grant. he should allow his politi-
cal friends for their own selfish pur-
pose to lead him into another CAM
paign a split in the Republican party
would be the result. President Roose-
Welt issstrong with the people but he
is by no means as strong with the
bosses. There are too, a great many
able Republicans who are aspirants
for the Office. Some of them are the
friends of the president. Others be-
Ions to the opposing faction in the
Republican party. All these men
would be disgruntled should the
president agoin enter the field. 1t is
q pretty safe prediction that Roose-
welt will not be candidate, either
actively or passively. before the next
Republican convention. Should he be
a candidate it is an equally good pre-
diction that lively times in the Re-
publican party would follow.
The Republican party is strong; too
strong for Its own good. 1t has met
with such overwhelming victories that
defeat seems impossible, yet it would
not be an unheard Of thing in poll
ties should defeat come to the Repub-
lican party in the next campaign. The
Democratic party was strong in 1860;
so strong that it was foolish enough to
run two: candidates for. president. The
strength of the Democratic party in
the days preceding the Civil war was
responsible for bringing on the Civil
war in 1860. Popular majorities are
easily and quickly turned from one
side to the other. The candidacy of
President Roosevelt for another term
might easily constitute q sufficient
cause for a disastrous split in the Re-
publican party. He is good enough
politician to understand all this and
to know that his reputation now is
greater than it would be should he
be elected to another term.

STAY AWAY.

The Catholic thcater goers of Min
neapolis will have an opportunity in
the near future to show what they
think of Sarah Bernhard and her art.
We hope that they will express their
feelings in a different way from that
in which the people of Quebec ex-
pressed theirs. The best way to show
disapproval OF those who prostitute
their art and talent to the baser pas
sions is to refuse to give the financial
support which is always the motive
underlying the introduction Of INSULT
ing and immoral plays. Sarah Bern
hardt probably has the natural ability
necessary to make q great actress but
no one can be called great the result
of whose work is to degrade rather
than to uplift. The play La sor-
ciere" is one which is particularly Of
fensive against good taste and good
morals. It's author, Sardou. is a
clever man who has devoted his tall
ents to the destruction of religion and
the exalting of lustful love. Pictures
which he portrays of the period COW
cred are untrue. His characters are
false.
Sarah Bernhard should be avoided
by those who believe in the teachings
of the Christian religion. The way to-
stop the production of such plays as
la Sorcierc" is to make them un-
profitable. There will, no doubt, be
many who vii! say that anything that
such i. great actress produces must be:
fit to hear and see. They are the peo-
pie who are always willing to pander
to the baser passions providing only
it is socially proper. Let Sarah Bern
hardt portray her art before the Par.
isians who mock religion. Catholics
of Minneapolis can help to make her
coming appearance in this city I'm.
profitable. Will they do SO?

If the government at Washington
ordered the Masonic temples of this
country to be broken into and the mys-
ticisms, and regalia, and the Goat"
seized for inventory and congressional
debate. Il howl of indignation would
arise from the worthy brothers" that
could be heard from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, says the Michigan Catholic.
Yet bigoted people wonder why the
Catholics Of France resist the desccra-
ton of churches and tabernacles which
to them are the Holy of Holes where
none can approach but the anointed
of the Lord. French infidel Masonism
is having outrages committed in Cath
Ollie churches that would be denounced
by Masonism if their shrines were vio-
lated. Even Pagans resent the touch
of strangers to their paganism upon
their gods and idols.

Controller Metz, of New York city,
VINO. at the annual banquet of the
Cooper Union Alumni association in
that city, last Monday night, charac-
terized the Carnegie library as one Of
the worst gold bricks the city had
ever bought, is in Washington attend
ing the conference Of city controllers.
where they are trying to agree upon
a uniform system of accounts for all
cities. When the language Of Mr..
Metz was shown to his secretary, Mr..
Stanton. he made long explanation
of what the controller meant. "a gen.
eral impression has gone abroad" Mr..
Stanton said. that when Mr.. Carnegie
offered $5.700.00O to the city that the
city got the money outright. Such is
not the case. The city never got a
dollar Of 1t. An average Of three IL
brary buildings a year are being put
up, and for each of these he gives the
city $4,000 for the simple construc-
ton. Before he gives that money the
city must first procure the site. which
in Manhattan has often come as high
as $150.00O. We have to engage our
architects. furnish the building, stock
it with books and maintain it. The
$4,000 which he gives comes out of
the interest which he receives, per
cent on 100000 worth Of bonds.
which you will see brings in $2s5,0o0
a year. Three buildings ut $4,000
only comes to 324o.oeo. II. on the

Is the refusal of wife to place a

sufficient grounds for divorce, will be
decided by United States judge be-
fore long, says the Quebec Saturday
Budget. Francis Gunlock of Chicago
claims that his wife built 4x11 plas-
ter to take a llink out of his back
but would not place it. To what
length will the divorce laws eventually
go? Divorces can now be obtained on
the other side on the slightest pretext.
The consequences of this wholesale
separation of man and wife will ulti-
mately have a disastrous effect upon
the morality of the United States I'M

that money to the city we easily could

ing the interest at compound we would

THE cAsrELLANEs AGAIN.

The Castellanes are attracting at
tention again. One can scarcely help
plying the foolish American heircss
who has forfeited her happiness and
self-respect and parted with much of
her cash for the sake of a title and
residence in Paris. Anna Gould, the
daughter of a civil engineer who
through business shrewdness and hard
work became a millionaire. was at
flicted with the. penchant that many
American women have of marrying q
foreign title. She had the money but
was plain Anna Could" Castellane
had a title but no money. Anna
Gould thought she needed II title; Cas-
tellane knew he needed money. She
got the title. such as it is, and he got
the money, or some Of it. Now she Is
applying to the divorce court, not so
much because Castellance was false to
his marriage vows but because he paid
"set" from that in which Countess
Anna thinks she belongs. Castellane
Is showing the world how profligate
and useless French nobleman con
be and the countess is showing what
American women do when they rush
into marriages for convenience sake.
Even gay Paris is shocked at the
thought OF n divorce. No matter how
much they sin in other directions the
French look upon divorce with horror.
The American woman who will marry
a foreign title has no scruples about
entering a divorce court. There is no
doubt that Countess Anna has had
great cause for complaint. There is
equally no doubt of the fact that she
Is to blame for her own predicament.
She comes OF family not given to
cutting up such pranks. Helen Gould
Is a shining example of how much
good a sensible rich woman can ac-
complisn. George Gould Is known as
one Of the most exemplary in personal
habits among all the rich men Of the

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

On last tuesday the new permanent
assembled in the House of Commons
to re-elect officers and swear in MEM
usual interest. Nearly half of the
members are entirely new to parlia-
mentary life us 4 result of the up
heaval at the last election. All pro-
phecies have been rendered useless
through the fact that the Liberals
have clear majority over all combi-
nations. Calculations as to the course
of affairs, based upon Labor and Irish
Nationalist union are now worthless.
With n clear majority Of over eighty,
Sir Henry EMBELLISHMENTS can
carry through program without run
ming much risk. The true attitude of
the Liberal party toward Ireland will
now be ascertained. They are free to
act without fear. They no longer need
to be Home Rulers through fear. II
the responsible leaders Of the new
ministry are opposed to Rome Rule
they can now state their views with
out entailing immediate defeat. The
hope of the Irish Nationalists for i'm
mediate action in. reference to Ireland
now rests in the belief that Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman and some of his
supporters are Home Rulers from
principle. Additional hope Is given by
the fact that the Labor party with n
membership of fifty, is outspoken in
it's support of the Home Rule pro-
gram. OF course the Irish National
lists and the Laborites are alone un-
able to accomplish anything. but there
does exist in the Liberal party Il large
element really in favor OF Home Rule.
Just how powerful that element Is re-
mains to be seen. The phenomenal
growth of the Labor vote in England
is an encouraging factor. Should the
Labor strength develop in coming
elections at the rate at which it de-
velopcd at the last election, Home
Rule will surely come. 1t is not a
very hopeful view. to take of the Irish
situation but we believe 1t Is tho
worst one that can be taken. There
seems little doubt that there is n
peaceful revolution going on through
out Great Britain and Ireland. II the
present Liberal ministry grants SUBJ
stantial reforms to Ireland 1t will be
the beginning Of the end that Is so
devoutedly wished for by the Irish
people. Home Rule by piece-meal is
better than no Home Rule at all. One
thing Is certain. and that Is that the
English people are no longer scared
of Home Rule. Mr.. Balfour MAIN
tanned throughout the campaign that
the clcction Of Liberal parliament
meant I7ome Rule. With this threat
before them the English people re-
turned an overwhelming majority for
the Liberals. Inasmuch as Sir Henry
Campbell Bannern1an never has de-
MED that he was a Home Ruler 1t
must be taken for granted that great
change has come over English voters
in the last fifteen years. Parliament
will assemble for business on next
Monday and most interesting ses-
sion may be expected.
