Illinois Catholics Against Saloons.

'sThe Chicago Record Herald says that warfare, vigorous and unrelenting, has been declared by Roman Catholic tenn perance advocates against the liquor traf- fic," said a layman.
 "The Catholic church In this country has long since put itself on record as strongly opposing the saloon business and as strongly advocating total abstinence. The church has never said, however, and never will say, that taking a drink of liquor Is sin in itself, but at the third plenary council in Baltimore. held % years ago, 1t was decreed that the liquor traffic was dangerous and unbecomng busi- ness, and the council called upon those engaged in the traffic to get out of 1t and seek some other means of liveli- hood.
 "The total abstinence forces In Illinois that are now organizing to make war on the saloons are led by the Very Rev. P. J. OCallaghan and other prominent Catholic priests. The movement Is ap- proved by Archbishop Quigley. The Cath olics are numerically strong in Illinois, and if they ally themselves actively with the Anti-Saloon league the state will go dry.
 Tn this connection 1t may be of interest to remark that the most popular and pro- gressive fraternal society in the Cath ollie church, the Knights of Columbus, while not administering total abstin- ence pledge to its members, throws the weight of It's influence on the side of temperance. for no man engaged In the liquor or brewery trade in any shape or form is eligible for initiation. I knew a good citizen of Birmingham who was an ardent Catholic, but who was kept out of the Knights of Columbus several years ago because he held few shares of stock in a drug company that sold whisky" ri ifN Ir NipolnIa

when he carried it down to the dinner

the wrapping and she beheld a hunk
of tallow and a cube of what looked
like sausage meat that she exclaimed:
