The rural carriers have been
forced several times this year to re-
turn to town without completing their
routes. This has often been due to
the fact that their patrons have not
broken roads through the snow for
them These same patrons are ap-
parently very appreciative of the
many conveniences afforded them by
the rural mail service and yet are un-
willing to lift their finger to help the
carrier. The government gives the
carrier the right to skip" those
patrons whose roads are in an i'm
passable condition until the highways
are made fit for travel. The carriers
will doubtless exercise this privilege
more in the future than they have
in the past.

THE DEsERET NEWS AND THE BOY.

''What better protection can we have against
evils that afflict society," writes the able editor of
the Deseret News, 'twhat more efficient defense
against the temptations which beset the young, than
the cultivation of decent thinking, of honorable and
clean living and of conscientious and high motive ~
True, every word of it, but will the editor tell
us how all this is to be accomplished. 1t is as easy
to moralize as it is to platatudinise 1t is in the
early growing period of life that the habit of decent
thinking and doing the right must be formed. Now,
if in the home there be piety, religion honor;
in the school no code of Christian morality insisted
upon or Christian doctrine taught, and in the pulpit
no reference to hell judgment after death, how
are you going to meet and overcome the tempta-
tions which beset the young?" If the child be not
instructed at home in decent thinking, nor taught
honorable and clean living in the school, what are
you going to do or what can you do, about ito"
The ablest thinkers, body in the United
States, the bishops of the Catholic Church. have
many years ago met these questions and threshed
them out. What was the grain they winnowed from
the threshing and the tanning? Here it is Every
days experience renders it evident that to develop
the intellect and store it with knowledge, while the
heart and its affections left without the control

of religious practices is to mistake the nature and
object of education, we'll to prepare for parent
and child the most bitter disappointment In the fu-
ture, and for society the most disastrous results. y
Pastoral letter of Second Plen Council of Baltimore
AT once the Parochal school followed for the
training of the intellect 1.-THE heart and its affee
tions. The Catholic Church looks back upon an
experience in dealing with the heart and intellect of
man for nineteen hundred years, and from her the
philosopher learned that the child is fathsr to the
man."
The habit of clean living and of clean thinking
must be formed in the child and the youth
q IT'S granted and no palmer truth appears,
Our most important are earliest years;
The mind impossible and SOFT with ease
Imbibes and copies what she hears and sees;
And through life s labyrinth hold fast the clue
That education gives her. false or true"
Wasn't it Lord Bacon who said: ''All is habit
in mankind even virtue itself, " and in his essay on
t'Custom and Education does he not also tell us
that "Before you twenty-five you must estab-
fish that which will serve you all your life.
''Habit makes everything easy" is Lord Broug-
hams testimony. 'It casts the difficulties upon
the deviation from a wonted course."
So we learn from the experience of those who
ought to know that the character formed IN early
years dominates the whole man through life. For
man of good habits-habits acquired In youth
it is as difficult to do sinful dshonorable act
as it is for man of bad habits to do the right. Our
Divine Lord on the road to His crucifixion, ex-
claimed: eff in the green wood they do these
things, what shall they not do in the dry" That is,
if the boy be corrupt, God help the man. Thus we
have in another form the intimation that as the
twig is bent, so Will it grow.
The astute editor of the News knows, as do we,
that in not more than ten families of the hundred
in our city is the child taught E'decent thinking"
clean living" responsibility to God for sins done
in the spirit and in the flesh. ''The school-'my
road Gaming once said, ''must be through
character to honorable manhood and to power" In
what way are our schools forming the character of
DUR children?

IN THE 1NTERE ST OF DEcENcY.

A few days ago Mayor Gaynor of New York,
who has made reputation for doing things in di-
rect and effective way, ordered theatre closed The
reason given was that the play Gan extreme
type of degenerate farce" but the house closed
before any public announcement Of It's character
was made No press agent was employed to give
publicity to the shady character of the performance
simply a quiet police investigation, and the mayor
ordered the place closed and to remain closed until
there is furnished some guarantee of future de
cency'
The mayors action was in the interest of de-
cency The whole country has been afflicted with
the plan of doubtful morality, much to the dseredit
of the stage and the public, but always heretofore
there has been campaign to exploit the ndecenceS
of a questionable play before any action was taken
The press agent was busily engaged in advertising
the performance, and the public aroused to
the shamelessness of it all Then after the theatre
had done its work amid great flourish of trumpets,
it was ordered off the boards.
The procedure of the New York mayor in this
instance is in sharp contrast with the procedure in
previous similar cases. The way to effect reform
in the matter of the stage to suppress that which
panders to the degenerate and the time to suppress
it is before an advertising campaign which invites
the world to look upon its nastiness Mayor Gaynor
has set an example which should be followed by
others whose official position makes them response
BILE for maintaining a semblance of decency on the
stage.

ton oath, while binding the Sovereign to the Pro-
testant religion, does not refer to the doctrines of
the Catholic Church, When taking this oath the
King swears to maintain the laws of God, the true
gospel and the Protestant reformed religion estab-
lished by law
The Accession oath is lie and an insult, and the
Sovereign, even though he believes it to be lie and
an insult, must take it or he cannot become King of
England. 1t is against this shameful oath that John
Redmond and every Catholic member of parliament
lift their voices in protest.
To insist that the King must, after he has been
crowned, that Transubstantiation belief in
the Real Presence, the veneration, as the oath
falsely reads, Alteration, of the Virgin Mary, the
invocation of the Saints and the Sacrifice of the
Mass are supersttious and idolotrous, is to swear
to lie and is libel on the living and the dead.
A modification of the oath must come, modifica-
ton that need in way alter the character of the
monarchy deny the religious belief of the reign
ing Monarch 1t goes without saying that the Sow
ereign of great Empire ought not to begin his
reign by insulting the religious convictions of sol
diers and sailors who fighting his battles and of
subjects who supporting his throne.

VALUE OF EDUCATION.

much education is worth to young man TN.

over which the educated one has little control VI

academic training to one who Is lacking in the ab1.
ity to apply his knowledge is as useless as the I'M
developed water power of giant river. The river
may flow forever to the ocean without perform
ing single useful purpose except to rid Tn. land

A member of the class of 1899 of am eastern 1ri
versity has recently attempted to learn something
of the value of the training received by his fellow
elassmen. His researches covered 100 members Of
his class. From 80 Of these he got no returns. One
of the 81 reporting in 1909 was enjoying am ine1ma
of more than $1,000 year, ten earned more than
$3OOO and the average of the remaining j6 report
ing 81 70570. Inasmueh as the bushes, or pro-
fession followed by these men is not given. we do
not see that the value of the training received in
school enters into the question. The one with an
income of $1,000 may be baseball player. and the
fifty odd whose average income reaches the mauifi-
cent total of $1,700 may be college professors
1t is possible, of course, that the earnings of
these men may have been less had they not enjoyed
the benefits of education, but it certainly seems
that vast portion of the training received either
made the young men too light for heavy work or too
heavy for light work

sPIRITIsM- INSANITY.

The Catholic Fortnightly Review philadelphia
tells us in its first May issue that there is prac-
teal unanimity among all who have studied the sub
ject (Spiritism) and have no interest to hide the
TRUTH in saying that the ordinary end of followers
of Spirtistc doctrines is the lunatc asylum This
is daring pronouncement, but Mr. Preuss sup
ports his declaration by citations from unimpeach-
able authorities, among them DR.. Forbes Wilson,
who is quoted saying: Ten thousand unfOrtu-
nate people are at this present time (1S77) con-
fined in lunatc asylums on account Of having tam
pered with the supernatural. The editor also
quotes from Dr. c. w. Williams 'Spiritualism and
Insanity-London, 1909 where it is written: 'EThe
pursuit of Spirituaism is so injurious and often
produces insanity because it weakens and destroys
the willpower.
The sadest example known to us of the ravages
of Spritism on noble intellect that of Robert
Dale Owen. Owen was an enthusiastic Spiritist,
and-we hope it is permissible to say ia sincere
and devout one. When we last spoke to him. back
in the seventies, he was in the evening of a long
life of earnest unselsh efforts devoted to- what he
thought, was for the betterment of his fellow-men
His books, FOOTBALLS on the Boundary of
Another World and 'Beyond the Breakers - were
at TINS time very popular; so much So indeed, that
he honestly believed that Spiritism to become
worldwide cult. He rested in the conviction that
Spiritism was not only reality, but noble dis
covery which would lift our race to great heights,
draw aside the curtain of the state or region of
souls after death, and solve the problem of death
itself. Robert Dale Owen, moreover, honestly per-
suaded himself that he was largely instrumental in
fixing Spiritism permanency in national life.

PULASKI AND KoscIUsKo.

The dedication of monuments to the memory Of
Count Casimir Pulaski and Thaddeus Kosciusko in
Washington last week marks an event in the annals
of American history. Pulaski and Kosciusko rem
dered gallant service to the American colonies in
their struggle for hbery. Count Pulaski fell at the
battle of Savannah in 1873, while Kusciusko lived
to return to his beloved Poland to fight for her
liberty He revisited America subsequently and
was acclaimed by million people, although in after
years he endured long exile In Europe.
These two Catholic heroes of the revolution hold
place in the memory of the American people as
sacred that of that other Catholic patriot, Mar
quis de Lafayette. The hardships these men en-
dueed, the sacrifices they made on the affairs of lib
erty, the dangers they encountered and the assist
anee they rendered in that memorable struggle for
independence have made their names household
words, yet in school history of the Revolution IS
the fact mentioned that they were Catholics. That
this fact is studiously avoided however, is not to be
wondered at, since true record of the perform
ances of loyal Catholics, not only in the revolution
but in all the subsequent wars of America, would
to discredit the oft-repeated charges Of the
A P. A. and bigots of that stripe that members Of
the Catholic Church are traitors to the free insti
tutions of America.
The two statues in Washington are not only
fitting token of love for the men honored but
they are an eloquent tribute to the services rem
dered by Catholics in the war for independence.
