Anonymous Letter Writers,

The anonymous letter" writer fur
nishes an example for an interesting
study of the perversity and the peren-
NAL unregeneracy s'of human nature,
says the Catholic Universe. He is
essentially coward and a syco-
phant., He entrenches himself behind
the secrecy of an unsigned document
in order to attack vindictively and vi
ciously. Like the assassin who hides
in the dark to spring upon his VIC
tim unawares, the anonymous letter
writer sends shafts intended to ruin
character or to depreciate merit. 1t is
in possible to calculate the meanness of
soul that is capable Of such criminal
conduct. Incredible as it appears, there
are men in honorable professions who
sometimes so far forget themselves as
to stoop to this ignoble action. They
are the exceptions, fortunately, but
that one such man or form Of exist
ence that passes as q man could be
found shows In what peculiar idiosyn-
cratic modes natute is pleased in rare
instances to .dispoft' herself.
Whatever is w6ftK saying or that it
is proper to say 'h|eeds no dark lantern.
One who has ae<tatement to make
should congratulate himself to have il
appear in his nan1dF and to assume the
authorship for it as well as the respon-
sibility that goes with it. A cause may
easily withstand an anonymous attack;
an individual may laugh at it while
he takes consolation in the thought
that he must have some worth to be
its' object; but however impotent the
intended shafts may fall there is no
palliation for the offense Of one who
hides behind corner while he SHES
a brick at his victim, and no excuse
for the malefactor except that he is
so contemplate by habit ana consti-
tuition as to be incapable Of appreciat-
ing the ethics Of his offense.

After so many years, residence in
Japan, Father Heck has wide knowl-
edge Of the Japanese, and his lecture
was of unusual interest, says the Cath
olic Columbian It was profusely IL
Illustrated with; lantern slides, which
added to it's interest and it's educational
value. He talked on Japan and the
Japanese, their, customs, their dress,
and the great progress being made
along all lines. particularly in science,
art. literature and religion, ,.-
Father Heck told Of the Japanese
soldier and his loyalty and fearless
ness, traits that were all exemplified
in the Russian Japanese war. He inn
pressed his hearers with the splendid
character of the japanese, Of their
great love and respect for their par
ents, their energetic ambitions and
their patriotism and loyalty to their
country. He showed pictures Of the
emperor and empress and many not
ables of Japan. He told of the FASH
ions Of dress Cor the women and COM
pared them with the styles prevailing
ir Europe and this country. He said
what astounded him greatly after his
long residence in Japan were the hats
worn by the women of Europe and
this country. He said that in Japan
the women wear no hats.
He touched upon the history Of ia
pan the old and the new religions, and
upon the great progress being made
by Christianity in that land. He paid
glowing tribute to the present en-
pefor and his policies and the great
encouragement he lends in the spirit
Of progress along all lines for the bet
terment of his country and his people.
Father Heck is a member of the
Brothers Of Mary, and after visiting
the colleges of his order in this
country will return to Japan.
