ROME AND SOCIALISM.

The General Federation of Catholic Societies,
at its national convention in Boston recently.
adopted resolutions repudiating the main tenet of
Socialism, that collective ownership of the means
of production and distribution is necessary for the
welfare of the human race" and urging all Catho-
lies to abstain from Joining and to oppose the So
salistic movement 'materialistc and athestic in
its leaders, literature and theory.
The Catholic church is often represented to be
conservative and even reactonary in its tenden-
cies Yet it is to be observed that the leaders of
the Catholic laity. as we'll as the clergy, have
promptly recognized the true character of Social
ism and have stepped forward boldly to meet and
stop it.
Socialism proposes not only an economic revo-
luton It proposes also atheistic catac ysm. It's
universe is confined to the earth. 1t DEGREES that
men shall think only of this life and not at all Of
hereafter. In it there is no room for God and
no God is in it.
Yet we see many Protestant clergymen of edu-
cation who should be able to recognize fact when
with Socialism, patronizing and upholding such in
situations for its propagation as Hull House and
the Chicago Commons, and refusing to see that
the faith of which they are sworn servants is one
of those things which Socialism aims to crush.
To the minds of thinking lavmen, irrespective
of denominational connections, the preachers who
play thus with Socialism are as moths around a
flame They court their own. destruction While
evading the materialism of Mammon, they futter
weakly around the materialism of Karl Marx
How much better and wiser would it be for
them to recognize the Socalistic danger promptly
and fight it courageously thus averting the sacri-
fee which delay III facing the issue must even
tually cost every Christian church.

had all happened. When the Pfarrer heard how
urgently Tonerl longed for him, he had painfully
dressed HIMSELF they had carried him into the
church for the Blessed Sacrament, and had brought
the old priest hither through wind and Storm pray
ing that he might not die on the way.
Teresa now glanced through the closed window
and saw Toner reckoning with his hand They
went into the chamber of death-frst the brother,
then the young girl, and the stranger Immediately
behind her.
Tonerl appeared glad and peaceful yet it was
impossible for him to keep back his tears.
1T has cost him his life" he said, with motion
OF his hands towards the Pfarrer lying beside him.
There he lay indeed. no paler than before but
cold and STILL With his last words he had lifted the
burden from the heart of his forlorn son; with his
last action he had impaired to him the Viaticum to
LIE eternal. His last sacrifice was ACCOMPLISHED
The good shepherd giveth his life for his Sheep
Ionerl still sobbed INCREASINGLY thinking he had
not been worth the sacrifice. Towards 4 o'clock in
the morning he fell asleep and passed away calmly
and peacefully.
AS the sun rose, red with the joyful glow Of
morning, they bore the two the shepherd and the
rescued sheep down into the valley And behind
the double bier walked one who had come from
atar and yet was stranger, one who had strayed
outside the fold and, like the dead cowherd had
been brought home upon the shoulders of the true
Shepherd--Ave Maria

port to the Secretary of War, recently
made public, that the relative number
of desertions was less lin 1908 than in
any other fiscal year since 1901.
The desertions during the fiscal yeaI
1908 were 4,505, or AS bsricent Of the
whole number of enlisted men in SER

No More Indians.

A brief quarter of century ago this
country was being threatened with In
dian wars on the north, on the south
and on the west. The Sioux in the
North, the Apaches in the West and the
Yakis in the South, the latter Indians
not really belonging to us, but among
them they kept the Western troops
mighty busy. and caused not little
trouble to the Bureau soldiers here in
Washington. In fact, some of the men
who stand high in Army circles to-day
achieved their fame thru fighting In
dams. Now most of the frontier forts
have been abandoned. The reserva-
tions upon which the Indians once
roamed, terrorizing the settlers, are
now farms. The last chapter seems to
be about to be written. This time it is
the Indi = Office that is turning 1t.
To -pare for the approaching dis
continuance of the Indian Office, Com
missioner Francis q. Leupp asks Con-
gress for more office help in his annual
report "to guide the office in its de-
