"A Converted Catholic"

Our usually lugubrious friend. the
Appeal to Reason, doubled itself with
uproarious laughter recently when 1t
announced the conversion to socialism
OF a distinguished Catholic editor
There is another side to the story.
Here 1t ia as furnished by the Catholic
Register of Kansas City, Kans:
The socialists throughout the coun-
try are In great glee over an article in
last weeks Appeal to Reason, written
by Nicholas J. Bowden and headed "A
Converted Catholic" He styles HIM
self the former editor OF the Catholic
Leader Of Kansas City, Kans. The fell
low was in the employ Of the Catholic
Register as an advertising solicitor,
previous to December 1907, when we
discharged him for irregularities. An
| ticipatthg the severance of his connec-
ton with our paper he had arranged
to begin the publication Of the Catho-
lie Leader. AS all OF our subscribers
III Kansas City. Kans.. received copies
OF the Leader, we strongly suspect
that he copied their names from our
list. to which he had access while In
cur employ. The paper was short
lived. He was incapable as an editor.
or news writer. He obtained all the
credit he could and abandoned the
Uaper not because an socinliat HIS
conscience would not allow him to pub
lish a Catholic paper, but because he
could get no further credit. He is a
fakir pure and simple.
Just a couple of weeks ago. THE
Catholic Institutions OF Kansas' was
published. Although no name appears
as its publisher. It was produced by
Bowden and Is the most brasen hold
up Of Kansas mechants that we ever
saw. 1t contains four pages of read
ing matter, almost foreign to the TITLE
and about sixty pages OF advertise
nients 1t is absolutely valuelcss to
the advertiser because 1t is Of no value
to the reader. He promised to print
end circulate many thousand copies.
hut we doubt very much II he printed
any more than was necessary to col
lect from the advertisers. 1t finished
him as a Catholic fakir and now he
has gone to the socialists. They are
elcome to him.

Praise Of the Catholic Church.

The Methodist Recorder. the organ
Of the Wesleyan sect in America, has
this to say with regard to the Catholic
Church:
dent that the ecclesiastical ministry OF
the Catholic Church Is marvellously
successful. One reason for this sue
cess Is that the Catholic Church re-
auires that her ministers shall be OF
worthy origin; she also insists upon
good education and q long prepara-
ton Of her candidates for the priest
hood.
Pope Plus x, on the occasion OF thu
fftieth anniversary Of his ecclesiastical
ministry, published 4 letter, wherein he
prescribed a still higher degree Of .du-
cation for the candidates for the &C.
clesiastical state, and rendered NOR
dificult dispensations for the reception
of Holy Orders by candidates who ave
under age.
This regulation is directly contrary
to the practice OF Professionalism and
especially Of the Methodists, who dc
sire that their pastors shall exercise
the ministry as early as possible
whether prepared or not.
1.-THE Catholic Church has never de-
creed that the age Of forty is too I'D
vanced to permit Of the admission OF
candidate to Holy Orders. She
recognizes 80. at this age man pos

A MILLION DEFICIT.
IreIand's Cost to the Treasury is More
Than That,

nan "dAs
For the current year, according to a
reply given in the House OF Commons
on Tuesday, the British treasury esti-
mates that the revenue contributed by
Ireland will be insufficient to meet the
cost Of purely Irish services by 1885,
900 pounds. The announcement, says
the Press Association reporter, was
hailed with loud Nationalist cheers.
The question was put by Mr.. Hazle-
ton, who asked the Secretary to the
Treasury what had been the average
annual contribution OF Ireland to I'M
perial services since the Union. What
was the amount for last year; what
was the highest amount in any one
year and the lowest In any one year
previous to 1908 %; whether 1t was es-
t:mated that there would be no con-
t,ibution from ireland to the Imperial
services for the current year, and, II
50, what was the estimated amount Of
the deficit
Mr.. Whitley said the average annual
contribution of Ireland to the 1mperi-
al services since 1919 the earliest date
for which figures were available, had
keen approximately 100000 pounds.
The amount in 10000 was $4,000
pounds The highest amount in any
~~a,,;o,s ,,Aar Inv which Hvures had
been worked out was 5.2s6,ooo pounds in
1sss.eo, and the lowest 1,Ss4.60o pounds

THE THEATERS
At the Lyric.

"The Wolf" touring under the d.
rection of Sam s. and Lee Shubert,
Eugene Walters great play of life in
the Canadian Hudson Bay country, is
announced for presentation in this city
next Sunday evening at the Lyric
theater. with all its trappings, stage
accessories, elaborate scenery and
light effects, precisely the same as
seen in New York and Chicago.
Mr. Alan Dale, the celebrated writer
on the New York American, said in
the issue of that paper of April 2oth:
Let me say right here, without
further parley, that in the Wolf Mr..
Eugene Walter has most assuredly
confirmed our impression that he is a

drama, vivid but primitive, vital but
unfledged. 1t is direct, terse, capital.
ly written, sincere and free from con.
ventional fiapdoodle.

spite of all. This was an achievement.
1t was great feat. 1t proved beyond
the preadventure of doubt that young

the suffragettes are attracting atte,l-

tire upon woman's rights, "A Content

Neil Stock company at the Princess
theater.
The comedy was written by Hoyt in
his happiest vein, and overhows with
brilliant dialogue, and is replete with
ludicrous situations. Benton Holmes
is running for mayor. The wife,
Grace, is Influenced by her Aunt Jim
an ardent woman suffragist, to run
against him. Ward politicians. heel
ers, repeaters and boosters and other
features of practical politics are in
troduced in the campaign, which re-
suits in the wife defeating her hus-
band. Then, to the horror Of the suff-
ragists, she refuses to accept the Of
nee, saying she is content to rule at
home. Mr.. Neill will appear las Ben-
ton Holmes, a breezy comedy role in
which he always shines. Miss Edythc
Chapman appears as Grace Holmes,
the part that Hoyt wrote for his wife,
the beautiful Caroline Miskel Hoyt.
Miss Julia Walcott will appear ~
Aunt Jim, role in which she 10 said
to be overwhelmingly funny. and the

the full strength of the company, will
