AGAINST FILIBUSTER
OF J. SHARP WILLIAMS.
Says He Was Elected by the
People and Will Serve Them
AS Congressman Should Re-
gardIesS of Politics.

Washington. April Representa-
tive Adair of Indiana has shocked the
straight-laced democrats of the house
and caused a sensation by kicking out
Of the party traces and refusing to join
in the filibuster which John Sharp
Williams, the democratic leader, has
inaugurated for the purpose of putting
the republican party in hole
Mr. Adair's attitude has given rise to
much comment. Republican members
praised his independence. while old
time sticklers for party regularity on
the democratic side looked at him
aSkance and ventured the opinion that
he is a peculiar sort of democrat.
The democratic filibuster may go on
all the remainder of the session. but
Adair will not be party 10 it. He
has organized a little filibuster of his
own. and as long as leader Williams
ties up the business of the house Adair
will vote with the republicans to unite
it.
Adairs position is all the more inter
esting from the fact that his name is
now first on the roll. and on every one
of the numerous roll calls he led the re-
publican vote of the house in oppOsi-
tiOn to the democrats, much to the cha
grin of some of his colleagues Ordi-
narily Representative Acheson's name
is called first. but Acneson is out of
the city. and that places Adair's name
at the top of the roll. This makes a
democrat leading the roll of republican

World IN Which We Live.

We often hear people talk as
though God had given us appetites
and desires and passions which
were never to be gratified, which
were only to be resisted, and init
mating that mans only chance of
happiness in life lies in the viola
ton of Gods commandment, when
the truth is that God has marvel
lousy adapted us to the world in
which we live, and in the whole
some and right qualification of our
desires there are always peace and

tell where are the dangerous rocks
upon which our souls may be
wrecked. The Hatchet.

Remission of Sins Granted B\
The Pope to The Truly
COntrite.

The Feast of Portiuncula was
o b serv by the Franciscan
Churches from 3 p. m. Saturday
until shutdown Sunday. There is
no Franciscan nearer than the one
in Cincinnati.
The legend of St. Francis and
the Church of Assini, which he re-
paired, is one of the most beauti-
full of the Catholic faith. Accord
ing to the Irish historian, Luke
Wadding, Francis in the year 1921 !,
on the anniversary of the dedica-
ton of his little chapel, was ia
vored with a vision, wherein the
Lord told him to ask what he
would for the salvation of SC uls.
He answered, asking that if he
had found favor in His eyes, a
full pardon of all their sins be
granted to those who visited the
church eontrite and absolved. In
the name of the Lord the Pope
granted this indulgence, and the
hours between 3p. m. on August 1 =.
and evening vespers on August 9,
were named as those in which the
contrite might receive full remis-
sion of their sins.
The ceremony generally consists
of confessions, communion and a
visit to the church of the parish
for prayer.
