has a way Of unearthing the wood

some of the same papers speak Of him
as an honest patriot. He has not
changed, either in his methods or his

Judge Brooks is to be commended
for the stand which he has taken in
reference to default divorce cases. In
a memorandum attached to a decision
in q case recently before him he noted
the fact that in nineteen out Of
twenty-five cases the plaintiff swears
that he or she does not know the
whereabouts Of the defendant and,
therefore, personal service can not be
made. It is q remarkable fact that in
such large proportion Of the cases the
parties to the marriage contract should
know nothing at all about the wnere-
abouts Of each other. OF course. the
afiidavits are false and purposely false.
The parties have either agreed to OBJ
tain q divorce or the plaintiff Is seek
ing to obtain one without letting the
defendant know anything about It. In
both cases fraud is practiced
upon the court and upon the laws. In
the latter case the defendant is also
defrauded. Under our laws Of mar
riage and divorce the marriage con-
tract certainly rests loosely enough.
The state and the general public have
some interests in the marriage con-
tract. Parties who become tired OF
each other should not be allowed
through agreement between them
selves, to obtain a divorce without re-
gard to the rights of the state. If all
the judges of our district court would
take the same stand that Judge Brooks
has taken Minneapolis would do far
less thriving divorce business.

OBSERVANCE OF LENT.

On last Wednesday the Lenten sea-
son began and will continue from that
date until Easter Sunday, the 18th of
April. Outside Of the Catholic Church
Lent means little to people in this
country. It means much less to Cath
olics in this country than it does to peo-
pie Of Catholic countries. In the United
States the rigorous fasts and other
have almost entirely been done away
with. This change the Church found
necessary because of the complicated
life which Americans live. Catholics
Of the large cities of the United States
are largely engaged III hard labor. This
is true rot only Of the men folks but,
to a large degree, Of the women also.
To impose rigorous fasting upon these
people would render them unable to
maintain their places in the spirited
competition .of American life. Yet
while the Church has practically done
away with such requirements it in
sists upon all Catholics observing Lent
as q period especially devoted to self
introspection. There are many ways
in which people can In a measure with
draw themselves from the world with
out taxing their physical or mental
powers. It is not to be imagined that
because the Church has released peo-
pie from certain observances that Lent
Is regarded by the Church as Of less
importance than formerly. The Lenten
season has been observed by the
Church from the earliest times. In
the early part Of the fourth century
there is clear testimony that q fast Of
forty days was prescribed. From that
time on it has been observed, the per-
iod differing slightly in different
places. In some places seven weeks
and in Others six were observed.
Africa. Egypt, Palestine and the West
generally kept Lent for six weeks.
While Constantinople and the neigh
boring provinces kept 1t for seven
weeks. It is probable. however. that
this difference arose from the fact that
those who fasted Tor seven weeks ex-
empted all Saturdays and aunlays
from tha fast and those who tasted IL
weeks ensmptsd only Sunday: tn Mt,

A GRAND EXAMPLE.

On last Tuesday the German En-
peror celebrated the twenty fifth an
niversary Of his marriage. The event
is worthy Of note for it calls up the
picture Of the home life Of a royal
pair that differs greatly from most of
tho homes Of royalty. William II has
earned well-nerited renown for the
statesmanlike qualities that he has dis
played. A few years ago he was re-
garded as an eccentric war-lord who
thought of nothing except the build
ing up OF a large army and navy. The
world now takes a different view of
the vigorous monarch that directs the
destiny of the mighty German people.
His reign has been one in which Ger
many has made wonderful progress in
an Industrial way. Americans are like
ly to think that the United States far
outstrips all other countries in indus
trial development. 1t is a fact, how
ever, that during the last decade Ger
many has made more progress in that
direction proportionately than the
United States and much of the praise
for that progress is due to the far
seeing German Kaiser.
His home life is in keeping with his
public life. He is the father Of six
sturdy sons and one daughter every
one of whom casts great credit upon
their royal parents. The sons are
brought up to respect their parents
and in the fear and love of God. They
are taught to work. Every one of
them has n line of duty cut out for
him. There is no idleness. no dissi-
patton, 10 scandal in the household of
William II. The example of the Ger
man monarch must WELD powerful
influence with his people. Is it any
wonder that a people whose monarch
lives as does the German Kaiser are
easily far outstripping in every way
their ancient and formerly formidable
enamiese who live on their Western
border?
France, under the pretense of mod
ern progress IS doing what 1t can to
stamp out religion among its people.
1t Is said that there is no word in the
French language that is a synonym
for our word home" and indeed We
can easily believe this from the trans
formation that is going on in France
While the government Of Germany is
lending every influence to check the
growth of Socialism and to uphold the
Christian religion and the Christian
home. the French government seems
determined to give itself over entirely
to Socialists, who scott at religion and
disregard entirely the binding ties of
home. We hope the German Kaiser
and his worthy consort may. live to
celebrate the aftieth anniversary Of a
marriage which has been a grand ex-
ample to the royalty of the world.

the law. and who even are empowered
in special cases for good and sufiicient
reasons. indicated or suggested in
Catholic theology, to commute the pre-
cepts Of fasting and abstinence to other
penitential works.
In enjoining upon the faithful the
precepts Of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church is mindful Of the evangelical
law Of self-denial, of which the Saviour
and His apostles were. by example and
by word, most eminent teachers.
Without self denial there is no Chris
tianity. Indeed, without self-denial
there is no natural morality. The man
who has not acquired by habit the
power of self-restraint will not be
victorious over sin amid the storms and
temptations of life which all are COM
PEELED to encounter.
The observance Of the fasts and abb
stinences prescribed by the Church is
taken as public and fearless pro-
fession of Catholic faith. He who,
without sufficient or obvious reasons,
eats meat or takes his usual meals
when abstinence or fast is enjoined, be-
comes an occasion Of scandal. and is
not accepted as q practical Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage of self-denial for the sake of
Christ and Of their own souls, and be
on their guard lest by their acts scandal
be given, and the fair name of their
religion be dishonored.
During Lent pastors will hold special
exercises of devotion in their several
churches at appointed times. Instruc-
tons of a practical character upon the
Christian duties, the nature of the
sacraments. and the preparation TO,
their reception, should be given or
| those occasions.
The devotion Of the Way of the Cross
Will be observed, if at all possible. ir
all churches and chapels on the Frida,
Evenings throughout Lent.
Whatever collection is taken up II
churches on Good Friday is, as usual
according to a letter of the Ho,,
Father, to be applied in. aid of tn.
