DON'T WORRY.

Good advice is about the easiest thing in the
world to get. but it is usually superAuous. And
about the best advice and also the most superfuous
advice is this: Don't worry" There are lots of
men and women who really do not worry but most
of them never think or do not have to think. They
probably are workers who have so many hours spe-
cited in the contract for so much money. They do
the work and let the boss worry about the money
for their salaries or wages In this good old world
somebody has to do the worrying; somebody has to
do the thinking they get paid for doing it. and they
get paid more than the fellow who is hired just to
work In the newspaper business and we suppose
the same thing may be said of every other profess
sion somebody has to shoulder the responsibility
and look after the details of the work. There
some peculiar anxieties which beset the newspaper
There the gaping columns to be filled.
And there are the subscribers who need to be
drummed up, and bills to be paid; and have to
worry about the financial situation of the country.
But we have no desire to afhct readers with our
own vexations. In their own vocations they proba
bly, have sufficient variety of harassments to keep
them busy worrying without being asked for sym

ANARCHY.

The recent visit of prophecies ~ 7nar,L

istic doctrines of the theoretical anarchists ~

vast majority of the people who are To- composo =
take more heed of the practical workings Of Il,
theory as exemplifed by the dynamiter, than tbert
of the mi5conception that humanity Is to- be- ri
generated by the abolition of law. The rhorv of II.
anarchist is that without laws there coulud he p,

Justice to all who come under its influence That
government in some form will ever be dissol7eIs
so far beyond any reasonable conception Of subem
tial justice that the theory is not likely to be gen.
orally accepted.
On the subject of anarchy the president recent
ly sent a special message 10 congress. He urged
the necessity of adequate legislation to deal with
anarchists, which legislation could well have been
enacted Immediately after the assassination Of
President Mckinley. But in dealing with this eaa
of undesirable citizens. it is the opinion of certain
eminent iurists that no adequate remedy. can Be
applied that will not come in conflict with the Do
visions of the constitution If such is the case.r
is waste of time to attempt any Legislation unit
the constitution receives the necessary amendmer
The trainers of our constitution could not have an
ticipated such a condition as now confronts the na
ton, and when they made it to guarantee freedomd
speech they did not contemplate the teaching Of
doctrine that assassination was commendabe ac.
While the nation should exercise great caution in
addition amendments to the constitution. in this
matter. if it is found to be inadequate the duty to
do so is plain.
But whether by congressional enactment or by
constitutional amendment, any law which can Be
enacted should strike deep into the vita8 of this
enemy of society and of government. It should moi
only punish the crimes committed by anarchists,
but should tend to the complete eradication Of the
teaching of anarchy, whether by spoken or pub
Gshed word. Anything less than this would indicate
folly equal to that of man with a cigarette in a
powder house.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

reader of The lntermountan Catholic asks
ito whom did Christ give power to forgive sins Z"
1t was promised by our Divine Lord to Peter when
he said: Il will give to thee the Keys of the King
dom of Heaven And whatsoever thou shalt bind
upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven; and
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth it shall be
loosed also in heaven" Matt xvi 49, The same
promise is also contained in verse 49, chapter xviii.
of the gospel. After his resurrection when he
appeared to his disciples, he addressed them "As
the Father hath sent me- also send you. When he
had said ehis, he breathed on them; and he said to
them Receive We the Holy Ghost: Whose sins
you shall forgive they are forgiven them and
whose sins you shall retain, they are retained" ST.
John, Xxx, %, %. If those words of our Divine
Lord did not confer the Apostles power to for
give sins of those who are truly penitent, then the
Bible is a book of enigmas saying one thing and
meaning something else. Belief in the sacrament
OF Penance which includes contrition confession
satisfaction and the priests dissolution. is coeva
with the history of the Christian church The power
given to the apostles was to descend to their sue
cessors. Who were their successors? Between
Plus x, gloriously reigning and Peter, (And
| say to thee: That thou art Peter: and upon this

shall not prevail against it. Matt xvi 49, There
is not missing link in the order of succession.
Therefore the power conferred on the Apostles and
which to descend to their successors still re-
mains with the Catholic priesthood
Second question asked is, "Why did the Catholic
Church change the Sabbath day from Saturday to
Sunday" Because Christ was circumcised on Sun
day, he rose from the dead on Sunday and it was
on Sunday the Holy Ghost came down upon the
Apostles. 1t is not true that it was changed "by
Constantine aided by the Catholic Church" On
the contrary it is historically evident that from the
beginning of the Christian church. the first day of
the week kept holy in place of the last day. and
from the very infancy of the church it was called
the Lords day. That the Apostles observed Sun
day day of special devotion there can be no
doubt. On Sunday the Octave of the Resurrection
they were together when Christ appeared to them
and permitted St. Thomas to put his hand into his
side. John Xxx, 26. They were assembled in the up

Force of Seas.

The oceans occupy three-tourths OF the
surface of the earth. A mile down In the
sea the water has a pressure Of a ton to

was filed with sea water, which was then
allowed TO evaporate. there would be two
inches OF salt left in the bottom of the box.
Taking the average depth Of the ocean to

the water freezes from the bottom upward.
Waves are deceptive things. To look at
them one would gather the impression that

waves are sometimes forty feet high. and
their crests travel fifty miles an hour. The
base of a wave 1.-THE distance from valley to

There is also room for more artistic

masts
