The Rich and the Poor.

In regard to the great contest be-
tween labor and capital in our day
which seems sometimes to threaten a
universal revolution, where shall we
find a power strong and impartial
enough to reconcile them? Behold la
Dor and capital like the gladiators in
the Roman amphitheatre. Labor
stares at capital and says: What are
you but man, like myself. Why OPP
press and crush me, that you may live
in luxury? It shall not be!'' And cap
ital in its pride replies: Il am not as
you. Men never were and never can
be equal. You must submit to my die
tation or starver'
So the contest must continue, but
behold the great delivery! Christian
civilization, like the monk from the
eastern desert, bounds into the arena,
and Christ Himself stands between the
them. He represents supreme capital
for He is king of Kings and Lord of
Lords" and all the riches of heaven
and earth are His. But He is also la
Dor, for He is the Carpenter of Naza-
reth and so poor that He had not where
to lay His head. Behold both united in
Him. Taking the hands of the combat
ants He presses them between His own
and gives to both His benediction. He
admonishes capital that it is but Gods
steward and accountable to Him for its
use of riches and consoles labor by His
own example and the promise of ever
lasting riches. In the teaching of the
Founder of Christianity and of His
Church will be found the only power to
reconcile labor and capital, as so adj
mirably set forth in the encyclical let
ters of Pope Leo XIII.-Archbishop
Ryan.

An Historic Bell.

Few persons suspect that in the ca
tbedral church of Notre came, Paris,
IS a bell contemporaneous with Joan OF
Arc-''the blessed bell'' which sounded
the +ocsin when the maid of Lorraine
anneared in August, 1929, and Paris
was besieged by the English.
This historic bell, referred to by vic,
for Hugo in his "Notre Dame de Parls,
was given to the cathedral in 400 by
Loan de Montaign. 1t was refunded in

, nan, of Emmanuel Louise Theresa OF
Austria. a.. .o,,,o bo1,
So, if this bell is not the same ,so1 neil
which the heroines of Dumremy hearo,

today at the great religious ceremonies
Of the metropolitan church.

Christmas Thrift.
BY ROBERT e. INNS

BY ROBEhI 4. ltN MS.
Economy at Christmas time is an an
nuallv recurring subject, about which
much has been written. Each year we
read anew of how the woman Of limited
nurse may buy SO many inches of this
or that material, so many skeins of
+loss. or yards of lace braid, and con-
srruct therefrom a Christmas gift many
times more valuable than can be
bought at the same cost-and we Won
der if it pays.
For there is another side to the Ques-
ton! It is every bit as extravagant,
and. indeed, more so, to spend hours
and hours over innumerable embroidery
scallops, or lace stitches, straining eyes,
spine and temper until your nerves
seem ready to snap, than it is to go
down to a shop and purchase there a
gift, costing slightly more, perhaps,
than the raw materials would in the
other case but ready to be boxed and
forwarded TO the recipient.
To be sure, the friend (alas! not al
ways dear for whom the gift is in
tended viii probably appreciate the
handiwork more; but do you not owe
more to yourself than to anyone else
in a matter Of this sort? What does
your health and time amount to? Ger
tainly more than a few pennies saved,
for could you not, in the time given to
this nerve destroying work, be taking
the much needed rest which, perhaps,
is going to add years to your precious
eyesight and perhaps life itself?
No, if you are a woman Of limited
means, you cannot afford to devote
your time to fancy work; your moments
Of leisure are far too precious to be
wasted in anything less vital than some
health giving occupation. Leave the
minute stitchery to your more fortunate
sister, who has unlimited hours of leis-
ure al her DISPOSAL.

The Wise BUYER.

The wise buyer does not get things
just because her neighbor has them.
She does not get thing because it is
cheap, nor does she think that cost
means beauty.
She does not buy things Just because
they are in the height of style.
She purchases neither more than she
needs nor less. Both methods are
spoilers; the former of goods, the latter
of ones temper.
Nor does she get into the habit of
buying hastily with thought of the ex-
change desk. This is unfair to the
shopkeeper and to herself
She does not buy more than she can
see her way clear to pay for. To make
purchases with no money in sight may
not land you in Jail, but it will ruin
your credit and make you a profess

pupils of St. Ursula's academy, Toledo
by visit to the school on his recent
visit to that city.
The genial leaders recital of his
efforts to dodge cabbage heads hurled
by the suffragettes at his devoted head
when he tried to enter the doors OF
parliament was an amusing feature OF
his address. Speaking of the same
suffragettes, he said: 81 am reminded
of the remark of some one, who said,

Mr.. O'Connor gave the young women
a strong warning to avoid the strang-
ers, especially the titled ones, from
across the sea. Marry American
men, he said. ''They make the kind
est, the best husbands in the world -
He congratulated the students on hav-
ing such excellent instructors as the
Ursuline nuns, and spoke admiringly
of their splendid building.

n DEsT SONG IN THE WORLD.


,rbe oldest song that the world has
known
7s fine song Of the Savior's birth;
II, holds a part of the golden tone
THAT was flung one day to earth
zy-ben. angels came in the morning sky
And the shepherds heard them sing
rho chorus thrilling and fair and high,
was a marvellous, wondrous thing.
prt older yet than that mystic morn
Ts The song Of the Father-loVe;
n echoed soft when the stars We're born
In the sky was arched above.
The singing stars of the centuries
That sweep through the field of time
nave sung that song in majestic keys
In their blending of chords sublime.
7+ breathed its blessing on Edenland,
If murmured to ancient men,
And we who hear it and understand
Have a sense Of its might again.
Internal. vast in its melody,
VET simple and low and sweet,
II lifts the spirits Of you and me
TIN we may its words repeat.
,Tis wrapped in all of the things that
are,
In flower and field and foam,
Tn sea. i'm sky, and in distant star,
In The heart and hearth and home
II comes TO us with a peace unknown.
This song of unmeasured worth
The Oldest song that the world has
known
Is the song of the Savior's birth.

RECOGNIZES SUN ABOVE is

POMONA, Jan. 25.-LEditor Herald:
/ am glad to know that another Letter

nizes the futility of human legislative
and executive to better governmental
conditions. Many suggestions for i'm
provement have been made, from the
adding Of existing laws to the abolition
Of law altogether. And it is my opinion
that nearly everything that is sug-
gested has been tried, and found want

Still. as your correspondent says, we

Has Christ been raised from the
dead? Most asSuredly. Then just as
surely will he judge (rule) the world in
righteousness. With such a happy

exclaim: 20 let the nations be glad and

DECLARES STATISTICS AS TO
LIQUOR CONSUMPTION FALSE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.-[Editor
Herald: 1 notice in todays issue a
statement made by Charles Edward
Locke at a meeting of the Institute of
Social Science. 1t would seem as though
his acquaintance with the devil had
surely misled the reverend gentleman
with one of his jokes, as he states that
i'll France the individual consumption
is 295 pints of wine and 48 pints of
liquor, and in Paris 566 pints of wine
and 48 pints of liquor per annum.
Now, 1 defy him to produce any
French statistics that would be accept
ed in any United States court of justice.
He probably has got his figures in
the same way as has been recently
done by the Prohibitionists in the case
Of some Of our big western cities, where
they took the amount Of beer manufac-
tured and divided the product by the
number of adult male population, ig-
noring the fact that four-fifths of the
said beer is exported to all parts of the
world.
This is as if some one took the num-
Der of oranges raised in Southern Cali
fornia and divided the same by the
adult males, and then stated that the
individual consumption of oranges in
Southern California was about 100000
ger annum.
1t has been frequently stated that
figures can't lie. But they can be jug
gled with so as to make a lie appear
like truth. In conclusion, desire to
call the reverend gentleman's attention
to the commandment, '"Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neigh
bor.' G. A. P.

OLD AGE

1 T CAN no longer be said Emperor
William is a youthful hothead,
and that his impetuc sity is the re-
suit of juvenility. While it is one of the
charming customs of our time to per-
sist in calling great or distinguished
men with a reputation for youth
young" until their second childhood is
well advanced, at the same time it can
not be maintained that a man who has
passed the half century mark is a
giddy young thing or a silly boy. We
sincerely hope the announcement that
Emperor William has celebrated his
f1ftieth birthday will move our dearly
beloved brethren, the cartoonists, to dig
UP some recent authentic pictures of
William and portray him as he is, an
elderly man with thin face and a
gray mustache, and not as a swash-
buckling, rosy, fat cavalier in the hey
day Of giddy youth. Time flies. AS
Artemus Ward says, "It is habit time
has" Our own Teddy is no longer a
spring chicken. The boys of the OLD
brigade are almost Methusalehs. It is
a shame to continue to criticise men
like Depew as if they were still in the
running.
Even the most recklessly genial of
when he reaches the age of three score
and ten. 1t is not good form to mock
ones grandfather. Unpleasant, in view
Of his advanced years, was the ribald
and irreverent manner in which Tom
Platt was assailed. Age should always
be respected. We may all be old our
selves some day, if we are lucky, and
we would not like to have the youth of
the land shoot out scornful tongues at
US if we happened to occupy exalted
positions, would we? Therefore let us
turn over a new leaf. There is too
little respect for age in the United
States. Not only is there a lack of
respect, but there is positive and dis
agreeable irreverence. Curiously
enough, this quaint condition of disre-
gard for age was in very great measure
due to the fact that Theodore Roosevelt
and Emperor William had the reputa-
ton of being young men. They are not

are in splendid mental vigor. They are
in the fullest bloom of life. Yet if
either of them were suddenly to lose
rank, station and wealth, and were to
apply for a salaried position in the
United States, he would have a hard
time of it. If he received any kind of
employment at any kind of wage he
would be lucky And he would have
himself to blame, for the youth and
achievements Of Mr.. T. Roosevelt and
Mr.. w. Hohenzollern produced preju-
dice in favor of placing inexperienced
young men in salaried and responsible
positions and of committing expert
enced old men to the dodo-house. This
prejudice is a marked feature of the
civilization of today.
