THE PRESS.

The power of the press in this age is almost in
vincble America leads the world in the number
of its newspapers, journals monthly publications
and quarterly reviews, and its readers are CORE
spondngly as numerous. If publications and read
ing of measure the progress of country, then
America stands at the head of progressiveness, for
this is a reading country. 1t is the reading fur
nished daily that tends to form the character,
tastes and morals of the people, and directs, to a
certain extent, the government itself, by creating
public sentiment Eloquence charms the soul, ora
tory sways the masses but the press which repeats
and perpetuates the eloquent and sublime senti-
ments of the orator, has more powerful and extern
sive influence In America the liberty of the
press and liberty of speech, are firmly established
and whatever effects, be they good evil, that
flow from these God-given privileges must be ac-
cepted in all their logical consequences. Its evil eff
fects in spreading discomfort, no-government the
cries hatred and discomfort is more than counter
balanced by the good it accomplished when directed
by patriotic, honest and capable persons. In this
reading age free press is needed to propagate
what is true, defend what is right expose the dis
orderly elements of society and help as a powerful
auxiliary for the preservation of order intelligence
and morality.
With the reading tendency of the age, what
more essential to the Catholic home than good
Catholic paper. In its pages questions of vital i'm
portance are discussed objections answered it
helps to enhghten many who rarely hear good
sermon and penetrates where the words of the priest
can not be heard. As an auxiliary to missionaries
who have large districts to look after, no better
means could be devised to strengthen the faith of

faith in the souls of the young.

upon a railroad train which rattles and roars along
third-rate track and think they are going fast
because they make so much noise. The foreign
observers point out instances where noise
and confusion supposed to represent the great
American principle of getting there" Perhaps
Fourth of July celebration is that principle de
veloped into patriotic lines for there are mighty
few Americans who will tolerate little noise 1t
must be big noise, and hence be accompanied by
very grave danger to the celebrators, or no noise
at ALL
The question of fitting celebration resolves
itself into one of patriotism or rather the kind of
patriotism which each individual feels While one
whose patriotism is not founded on a deep knowl-
edge of the history of the nations birth is likely
prefer great noise, just appreciation of the day
puts boisterous displays aside. If the holiday
stands for nothing but clamor and din in the minds
of the people, the awful record of the past five
years will no doubt continue There lis no need of
becoming excited over the near approach of the
slaughter There are still few spots in the coun-
try where peace and quiet can be enjoyed on the
holiday. and where there is no danger of bodily
injury, but from the days preceding the fatefu one
there seems to be no escape. The accidents men
toned are regrettabe, but inevitable accompan-
ments of the present noisy fireworks displays.

NOT AN AMUSEMENT FEATURE.

Recently at meeting of a political club in
Salt Lake, in the discussion of contemplated out
ing the suggestion was offered, though happily
turned down, that public marriage would be a
great drawing card for the event Just what
caused the political club to abandon the plan was
not given in the newspaper account of the meeting.
but the mere proposal of offering prize to pros
pective husband and wife, and making of the mar
rlage ceremony an amusement event. shows plainly
too widespread disregard for the sacredness of
the institution of .matrimony. To many who dis
agree with the Catholic church that marriage is
sacrament which should be attended by a church
ceremony, and which should remain indissouble ex-
cept by death, this playing up of the marriage
ceremony an advertisement to attract a crowd
is unseemly. 1t lacks decorum, to saw the least
about it.
The constant widening of statutory causes for
divorce and the increasing business of the divorce
courts have served to awaken protest from right
thinking people, and there is growing demand for
greater safeguards to be placed over the institution
OF matrimony and the home. 1t is not to be pre-
sumed that all the marriages performed under such
circumstances as those proposed by the political
club will end in the divorce court if indeed anv
of them will The objection to such public DISPLAYS
lies in the lightness with which the marriage rela-
ton is regarded. The ceremony is inevitably ac-
companied by a spirit of levity if not by the CON
tracing parties at least by the witnesses, and the
solemnity of the occasion must degenerate into an
absolute farce
Marriage Is serious matter, and the response
blllties attaching to it great While it is very
unlikely that the course prescribed by the recent
encyclical of the Pope for the guidance of the
faithful will be generally adopted by the Protestant
element of society, and this because the matter
savors of Catholicism and not because the prescrp
tons are not recognized as sound nearer approach
outside the church to that course would no doubt
place marriage a higher plane than it now is in
many eases Secret marriages and Opponents are
deprecated by all right-thnking people, but they
are no more censurable than are those performed
as an amusement feature at a resort.
We are glad the proposition to offer bonus for
public marriage did not carry in the political
club meeting. We trust we may be pardoned the
hope that this feature may be entirely eliminated
from the publcs amusement program. 1t has no
place there.

FOURTH OF JULY.

Already the manning of youth has begun Two
boys in Salt Lake were this week severely injured
in the premature celebration of the nations birth
Ones face. terribly burned and lacerated. while
the other lost the bigger part of his right hand
The GLORIOUS Fourth" has degenerated into an
lawful Fourth" It certainly should be cause for
thoughtful consideration of the American people,
this annual murder. To show the extent of the dis
asters which mark the celebration of the annual
holiday, but the last five years the Journal of the
American Medical Association has endeavored to
collect statistics setting forth what it costs in life
and human usefulness; and although these are adj
mittedly complete-compiled, as they are almost
entirely from newspaper reports instead of from
records of hospitals dispensaries and physicians
they form the gravest possible arraignment of the
recessness which is willing to pay such price for
"iolly day"
They show that during the celebration of five
national birthdays, from 1903 to 1907, inclusive.
1853 persons were killed and $500 injured Of
the injured eight suffered total and 389 partial
blindness; $50 persons lost their arms legs or hands
and 1870 lost one or more fingers.
But these figures startling as they are convey
only faint idea of the suffering, both physical and
mental, which went to swell the total cost of these
five holidays. In this we must also include the
weeks, and often months, of anguish of the injured
the suspense of entire families while the fate of
some loved hung in the balance: the horror of
future of sightless years the pinchng poverty now
the lot of many because of the death or manning of
the bread-winner.
As to what constitutes fitting celebration of
the Fourth. there is naturally wide divergence of
opinion, but that the price pay for the present
ear-spitting celebration is too dear there is none
to question
Foreign observers, who have written about
America after visit to this country have said that
the Americans are noise-loving people. They get

found regard for the sovereign authority of the

bishops against Augustine's counter-claims shows
this, for they took the ground that their church
