Powers, the cartoonist, is probably
Catholic, but we think he will new
er throw up his job if ordered by
Hearst to caricature the head Of the
Catholic church. The famous Michael
Doyle, Of the London Punch, father
of Sir Conan Doyle. threw up his
position on that paper before he would
caricature and lampoon the Pope OF
Rome, but we seriously doubt if Pow
ers will ever. follow his example. We
expect the Catholics Of New York city
to do their duty by fighting Hearst
to finish. Let them stand back uf
the News, which champions their
cause 80 courageously, and If Hearst
comes up for mayor of Gotham, let
them bury him so deep beneath :.n
avalanche Of votes that he will never
again have the effrontery to run for
ONCE.

like that of a papal election. The
priests from Minneapolis are noted

men of fine executive ability, and it is
not improbable that one of them may
be elected provincial.

Church and Labor.

The necessity for both social teacn'
ing and social works, by our American
clergy, is very great and very urgent
writes Rev. Doctor John A. Ryan in
the Catholic World. There Is q very
real danger, he continues, that larg
masses of our workingmen will, BE-
fore many years have gone by, nave
accepted un-Christian views concern
ing social and industrial institutions
and will have come to look upon the
church as Indifferent to human
rights and careful only about the
rights of property. Persons who are
unable to see the possibility OF an es-
arrangement, such as has occurred IL
Europe, between the people and the
clergy in America, forget that mod
ern democracy is two-fold, political
and economical, and that the latter
form has become much the more i'm
portant. BY economic democracy IS
meant the movement toward a moro
general and more equitable distribu-
ton of economic power and goods and
opportunities. At present this econ :
omic democracy shows, even in our
country, strong tendency to become
secular if not anti Christian. Conse-
quently unless the clergy shall se
able and willing to understand, appre-
ciate and alphabetically direct the
aspirations of economic democracy it
will inevitably become more and more
'un- Christian, and pervert all too rap
idly a larger and larger proportion.

Purity Of Speech.

Purity of speech means something
more than omission Of vulgar phrases
that ought not to be used by any self
respecting person. A young girl should
carefully avoid falling into slansy or
careless modes of speech.
When a girl says Gee whiz," 1T
was something fierce" or You're up
against it," you need nothing more to
convince you that she is not altogeth-
er lady, She may be a sood-hearted,
well meaning girl, but, friends, she
proclaims to the universe that she is
common.
Nobody wants to be stamped as COM
mon. To say to any one that she is
kind hearted, good-natured, willing to
serve a friend and that she honestly
pays her way, is to say that she Is
respectable member of society, but to
add to this that she is common and
ordinary, is to indicate a fatal defect
Purity of speech requires the on,is-
SlOI1 VI SldAS SIAy oAPS3Ae
phrases. The latter, while perhaps not
profane, are often not refined, and
show that ones associations lave been
with ill-bred persons.
To think before you speak is an cx-
cellent rule.
You should make up your mind once
for all to use only grammatical words
and phrases to represent the thing you
mean to say. Never say, hadn't
ought" or "ain't," or use a singular
verb with plural noun.
Most girls have gone through the
grammar school, If not further. and
they have been taught what is right
and what is wrong in framing SEN
tcnces In English.

A witticism which brought the vice

everybody else roared and stamped.
But jokes and sarcasm inevitably
linger longer in the memory than the
more serious matter of a speech. To
