INVESTIGATE DIVORCES.

The disclosures that have just taken
place in the Corey and Hartje divorce
cases may possibly do some good for
the same reason that the disclosures
in the insurance cases and in the pack
ing house Investigations have done
some good by drawing peoples at
tention to evils that are threatening
The testimony of the sister of the Steel
King Corey in the divorce suit of his
wife that her own brother was not a fit
person to have the custody of a 10
year-old son, brought out the further
statement that no wealthy New York
man was a fit person to have children
under his control. This statement is
undoubtedly too sweeping. but there Is
much reason in recent disclosures for
giving credit to the statement of Miss
Corey. In Pittsburg divorce in high
lie is being tried where men and wo-
men have been purchased on both sides
to give false testimony. People have
been hired to write forged letters and
to blacktn the character of the parties
to the suit. Such disclosures ought

SUMMER MADNESS.

Summer has been called, not with
out reason the SILLY season." The
daily grist of vacation accidents, So
called. gives convincing proof that
there is II sort of madness that at
tacks the human family as we'll as
some other branches of the animal Gre
alton. Men and women who ordinarily
conduct themselves in a way that ird:.
Gates that they are governed by reason
become totally changed individuals OH
their vacations. Not only do they f"ec
ly subject themselves at this season TO
temptations that they carefully avo. d
when at home but they very often mos.
foolishly toy with their lives. Seem

ordinary occupations and go fort., 20

accountable reason totally beraft Of

All Cannot Succeed.

Everybody can't succeed. but Il
great many more can succeed if they
only had the ginger to try The fail
ures have not learned to help them
selves and some of them do not want
to learn: and as long as Pa gives them
pocket money, they are at peace with
the world The best thing for the
young graduate is to get to work as
soon as he can and earn a dollar that
he can call his own. 1t is all right to
take up a profession if the profession
gives them Il living. but many times
they haye the profession and not the
living. 1t is a foolish idea to think
that earning living outside a pro-
fession is undignifed. How many
young men finish college with two or
more degrees attached to their name
have entered some profession or other
and after a short time abandoned the
chosen profession and built up a
career in other lines. But there was
this about their building-they started
in the right way. and they saw early
that they had made a mistake and be-
gan all over again.

FAIRS and she learns good deal from
the mistakes of others. She has tho
advantage over the girl Of 20 in this
way, and does not step into MANY of
the errors that she would NOT know
how to avoid We're she younger.
At 25 most girls have seen that it
is not always the most brilliant we'd
ding that is the forerunner of the
happiest married life, Or that the most
dazzling prospects guarantee every day
JOY and peace. A girl at 25 is more
able to see all around the subject and
weigh the pros and cons than her
younger sister, for this one does not
mind nor care what happens so long
as she is with her sweetheart. Up to
ABOUT that time other people have
usually done and settled things for
her; she only saying what she would
ike pest. She takes it for granted
that such smoothing Of her path will
still go OH. Married folks, however,
whether they are very young or Of a
ripper age, have to learn quickly to de-
pend upon themselves, and it is then
that they learn the difficulties, and
often shipwreck their happiness. They
get into a way of not caring, and it
is then love soon flies out of the VIM

\ remarkable demonstration was
rendered Mr.. Bryan by the Irish Club
of London last week. Mr.. r. p. O'Con-
nor delivered an address of welcome in
which he referred to the close ties
binding Mr.. Bryan to the Irish. MIR.
Bryan in return spoke of the prominent
part that the Irish played in the United
States and of this country's sympathy
with Irish aspirations which he said
was not confined to any party or creed.
He said that during his ten months

professional man who will step around
an iron-covered man-fole upon city
street, thinking that it may possibly
in some way have become charged
with electricity, will while on his vaca-
ton almost invariably select the larg-
est and tallest tree to lean against
while a thunder storm is passing by.
Result: killed by lightning. The puny
office man who is scarcely able to dress
himself without aid will attempt while
on his vacation to make lengthy tranps

brings its stories of deaths due to the
fact that ordinarily sane and sensible
people act like lnaniacs when they go
out into the country for a rest. Nine

What Priesthood Demands.

At recent ordination Bishop Con-

acter Of the Lords anointed.
THE priesthood demands a sancti-
fled life. absolute unselfishness, a
heart full of compassion and sympathy
for the sinner a life full of love for
God and the people.
The Very word priest Or presbyter
suggests one venerable, one though
young in years, yet old in the expert

There comes to the priest on the
day of his ordination certain trans
figuration and he becomes, as it We're
a man of eternity. The dignity con-
ferred upon him in the order of grace
is the most sublime of all dignties.
and it is equally the most sublime of
all responsibilities
He becomes at once the teacher of
the people, not only by word, but by
example.
He holds spiritual authority over
them. he possesses the ministry of
reconciliation by which in the authori-
ty of Christ sin is pardoned and grace
is poured into the repentant soul

self He has shown the true American
spirit in his treatment of all citizens.
His appointments have been made
without regard to race or religion. To
his cabinet two Catholics have been
appointed. This, in Itself, neither en-
titles him to praise nor to blame. But
1t Is the fact that he has not allowed
religious prejudice to interfere with his
appointments that so much commends
him to all true Americans.

John Alexander Dowie's claim to the
property of the community which he
recently ruled has been disallowed by
the courts. This pretentious old fraud
had an undoubted genius for leader
ship and organization but he was so
far from being religious leader that
his religion became a mockery. He
did fairly we'll SO long as he was able
to secure converts to turn their gold
into Zion, but when he failed in any
of his projects he threw off the mask
and became a scolding, blasphemOus,
old man, full of hatred to those who
opposed him. He is just one example
of the numerous frauds that from time
to time work upon the religious super
stition of people, and that for a time
feather their own nests only to finally
be discovered and exposed. Will GER
tain people ever cease looking for the
new religious teacher and learn, once
for all, that the truth of yesterday is
the truth for today?

What Il traversty of that sweetest of

he can take from all it's beauty and

ruin brought on a Christian home
through drink! Peace. comfort hap

has been altogether too great ten
dency on the part of Catholic papers
to commend the appointment OF this
one or that one on the ground that he
is a Catholic and there has been Il COR
responding tendency on the part OIL
Catholics to support officials who APP
point Catholics. Very often these APP
pointments were made for pohtlcal
reasons because of avaifahtlity"and not
because they were in themselves de-
served. President Roosevelt breathes
the true American spirit when he says
that he has tried TO treat Protestants
and Catholics alike. We all hope that
this Republic will stand for many
century and some of us hope and ex-
pect that the day will come when it
will be possible for a Catholic to be
elected president In other words, we
hope the day may come when q mans
religious belief will not, because OF the
prejudice of his fellow citizens, pre-
vent him from attaining to that po-
sition.
President Roosevelt has done his part

alton. 1t is no wonder that the Cath

ter to what party they belong, have

TO END A NUISANCE.

Another fake will soon be put out
Of business by the government. For
some months there has been going
around the country an endless chain Of
prayer letters. Some one conceived the
idea that he could pray louder and bet
ter than other folks and was willing
to give humanity the benefit of his spe-
cialty SO he conceived the idea Of writ
of his most intimate friends with writ
ten instructions that each of the three
should write the prayer to three Of
their friends with like instructions in
each of the letters so last written. 1t
does not need very much mathematics
to determine just where this thing
would end il it was kept going long
enough. In reference to this matter
The Chicago Tribune says: The eli
max Of the chain-letter enterprise
came in the plan of some presumably
pious individual to circulate broadcast
through the land a brief prayer Of ex
rcllent form in it's language and it's
spirit, and with the prayer was letter.
The letter threatened disaster in case
any one broke the chain, stating that
one person who failed to write the let
tcrS had met with Il dreadful accident,
and promised. on the other hand great
joy at Jerusalem" for the faithful ones.
1t is IL characteristic of our civiliza-
ton that many who are perfectly sem
sible and rational in business, in So
ciety or in daily life have more than
IL grain of superstition when it comes
t" religion and the natural tendency to-
heed the moral compulsion already
mentioned is much augmented when
the request please do not break the
chain" is made in connection with re-
ligiOn and particularly in view of the
excellence of the spirit of the prayer
to be transmitted. A great many peo-
pie. therefore. who have received Il
prayer chain-letter and who have Won
ucfGti Il DIT over Tie threat contained III
IT have yet added their effort to the
plan of the circulation of the prayer:
sometimes however, taking refuge UNI
der cover of the signature ~ friend"
instead of signing the correct name.
All those who have been much dis
pleased with such Il method of religious
activity and the tmid who have writ
ten letters against their real Judgment
will rejoice that the postal authorities
have taken the matter up and planned
To make prosecutions under the rule
forbidding threatening communications.
1t is Il good time for every one t., de-
tcrmine to refuse hereafter to have
any share In the chain letter nuisance"
Amen! We are relieved to know that
VIC will not be compelled to pray
against our will. And. we are par
ticularly relieved to feel that no serious
accident is likely to befall us If we
should break the chain. Next fakir
please step forwards!
