KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ON CLUB
BARS.

The Supreme Council went on rec
ord again to uphold the law of the
order prohibiting the sale or use of
malt liquor in any club house owned
by the various councils or at any ban
quet given by council. This subject
cropped out rather Unexpectedly at
the National Convention, but the
movement to modify i'm any way the
law was defeated by large majority
It was contended that the law was
too strict, and that many members
would often frequent the club houses
if the judicious use OF liquor was per-
mitted This started a spirited dis
cussion, but the majority made it clear
that there could be no temporizing on
the question. To emphasize further
this sentiment, an effort was made to
amend the law so as to prohibit spe-
cifically the indirect use of liquor in
the club houses, some of the delegates
fearing that an attempt might be
made to form separate organization
to lease quarters in the club houses
where liquor might be sold, but it was
pointed out that the present law Is
adequate to cover such contingency,
and that no council would put itself
under the ban by attempting such a
thing.

SPAIN NOT DECADENT.

In the course of an interview
given the press after his return
from the .Eucharistic Congress in
Madrid whittier he went as the
representative Of Cardinal Gibbons
the Rev. M. J. Riordan Of Pixies
vile, Maryland, spoke as follows
of conditions in Spain: "Spain,
though in arrear of other nations,
is not decadent or even dormant.
The compulsory school law, which
has been on the statute books
since 1857 is being observed.
Every village has its school and
few children are unable to read
and write. Newspapers and cheap
literature abound. In Madrid,
whose population is less than that
of Baltimore, there are twelve
daily newspapers and more than a
dozen weeklies, all widely read
and thriving. On Sunday the great
Madrid library is crowded with
readers.
'sThe standard Of municipal
government is different from ours.
Partisan politics are eliminated
from municipal elections. While
everybody attributes venality and
corruption to certain influential
officials Of the national Govern
ment, municipal servants, includ-
ing the police, are above reproach.
''In the effort to get the best
candidates for offices under the
civil service, Spain displays an in
tellectual breadth that will be ap-
preciated by few Americans. A
citizen Of Barcelona, for example,
may compete for a municipal
office in Madrid, and vice versa
The rectors Of all parishes and
half of the canons are selected by
competitive examination, which
any priest the world over may en-
ter, provided he be Spanish citi-
zen.

tic to the religious orders and had

A FEARLESS PRELATE.

Some time ago the Portuguese
Government addressed a note to
the Most Reverend Emanuele
Vieira de Mattos, Archbishop Of
Guarda, warning him that legal
proceedings would be taken
against him on the charge of oppo-
sition to the Republican form of
Government which has been estab-
lished in Portugal.
The Archbishop replied in a
letter to the, President Of the Re
public in which he declared that
his episcopal office kept him above
all political parties and made it in
cumbent on him to guard the
faith and morals Of his people and
warn them Of any attempt made to
injure them in these respects.
|"Let the Government do just as
it pleases, " wrote the intrepid pre-
late. 1T. may feel certain that
the Bishop of Guarda will neither
make nor provoke resistance. But
let this be understood clearly: the
Bishop of Guarda will be per-
secuted for having fulfilled his
duties as Bishop, for having adj
vised Catholics regarding the OBJ
servance Of the sacred laws that
bind in conscience not for having
thrown obstacles in the way Of the
Republic. =

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
TEMPERANCE AND TOTAL
ABSTINENCE.

We know from our catechism that
temperance is one of the four cardinal
virtues; it is a general virtue, embrac-
ing group of virtues, quite distinct
from one another. For temperance is
manifested in every virtue that en-
ables us to see according to right rea-
son things that are agreeable to the
senses. 1t holds in check all the pas
sions that incline us to sensual pleas
ure, and fills the soul with love for
modesty and propriety. The practice
of modesty and of holy purity accord
ing to each ones state falls under the
virtue of temperance as well as the
practice of sobriety, or moderation in
eating and drinking. Indeed, the word
is often used to mean moderation in
any line of conduct, SO that we some
times hear of people being condemned
as Incorporate advocates Of temper
ance.
In the restricted sense that is COM
mon to many European languages to-
day, temperance applies only to mod
Grafton in the use Of food and drink
Intemperance is the abuse especially
of Intoxicating liquor. Temperance is
not identical with total abstinence,
which often entails a high degree of
modification and penance The drunk
ard is Incorporate; the man who exer-
cises a wise moderation in the use of
drink, practices temperance. For the
sake of example or because he wishes
to deny himself and to put far from
him the least occasion of offending
God and bringing disaster upon him.
self and those whom he loves, he may
undertake to practice the mortifica-
ton of complete abstinence.

PERNICIOUs ACTIVITY.

At the fall meeting of the
Executive Committee Of the Y. M.
C. A. held recently in Minneapolis,
it was Unanimously decided to
put a man on the state force of
the Y M. C. A. whose whole time
is to be devoted to work among
the high school boys Of the State. !"
In other words, the state high
schools are to be made recruiting
grounds for the 7. M. G.. A., an
organization which, notwithstand-
ing its professions Of non-sectar-
ianism, is distinctively and un-
compromisingly Protestant. 1t is
scarcely credible that the Y. M. G.
A. will endeavor to carry on it's
proselytising work among the
high school pupils during school
hours. IL such an attempt were
made it would, undoubtedly, be
called to the attention Of the State
Superintendent Of Education,
whose duty it is to see that the
law safeguarding the non-sectar-
ian character Of the high schools
is enforced. The Y. M. G. A. will
probably carry on it's propaganda
among the pupils after school
hours; and Catholics who send
their children to these schools
should see to it that the agents Of
the 7. M. G. A. do not entice their
boys into this organization on the
plea that it is a society which de-
mands no religious test Of member
ship. There is no doubt about the
Protestant character Of the Y. M.
C. A. No Catholic or Jew is al
lowed to hold any official position
on it's executive board. They are
allowed, however, the privilege Of
contributing towards it's support
and of helping to swell it's num-
bers by associate membership. The
7. NJ. @. A. is entirely under the
control of members Of the evangel-
ical churches and membership in
it is not conducive to the spiritual
welfare Of any Catholic boy or
young man. Let Catholics be on
their guard and warn their chill
dren of the attempt that will prob
ably be made, through high school
associates, to get them to join an
organization, whose conception Of
what constitutes Christian as
ISOLATION does not prevent it's
leaders from keeping in the back
ground the real character of their
work in order to gain recruits. to
its ranks. The Y. M. G. "A. is no
place for Catholic boys who wish
to retain their self-respect by not
seeking admission to a society
which excludes Catholics from its
executive offices.

1t IS often too late TO escape. In
many kinds of employment the
wages are so low that the young
woman cannot exist on them and
has to seek some other means Of
adding to her income. In not
few lines of work the environment
is such that no young woman can
long survive the temptation to

lost innocence and virtue.
The report Of the Vice Commits
sion of Chicago, which has just
been issued, contains warning on
every page to young women and
girls regarding the dangers that
lie in wait for them in Chicago.
It shows that many young girls
are met on their arrival in Chicago
or on the trains that brings them
to the city by people whose bust
ness it is to lead them astray. I'M

do not speak the language Of the

boarding houses, and other re-
sorts Of infamy. The investiga-
tions Of the Chicago Vice Commits
sion show that employment offices
often send girls to improper
houses; that dance halls, cheap
theaters, amusement parks are
surrounded by dangers and temp
tations which result in sending
many young girls into lives of i'm

stores pay wages that simply drive
women into lives Of shame. Last

the department stores were not

are numerous temptations that
beset the lives of those employed
in such establishments.
These are some of the dangers
that surround young women in
the larger cities Of the country.
They are found in lesser degree,
no doubt, in the smaller cities and
towns. The knowledge Of these
facts should be sufficient to induce
all who can possibly remain in the
security Of country homes and
farm life to do so. Parents are
bound to do all that lies in their
power to keep their children from
seeking work in the larger cities
and towns owing to the unsatis-
factory conditions that obtain in
the labor world, but especially on
account Of the moral dangers to
which the young and inexperi-
enced are subjected in these busy
centers.

MINIMIZING DANGERS.

That you cannot by law make an in
dividual a good man, in one sense OF
the word, is true; but that you can by
law remove such evil agencies as bar
rooms, and thereby minimize the
temptations that beset young men,
is absolutely true. Experience teaches
us that were it not for the law
it would be impossible to maintain
our. government and to protect the
lives and property of our people.
This has been so in all ages and with
all nations, and the time will never
come when any government can ex-
list without the enactment of suitable
laws for the enforcement of its de-
order.

THE LOCOMOTIVE BROTHER

The question of temperance is one

the other laws of the organization,

one thing that we fight first, last, and

The month Of the Rosary! How
full of meaning is that phrase for
the devoted client Of Mary! It
speaks volumes to those who I'M
derstand the part the Blessed
Mother plays in the economy of
salvation. No title is dearer to
her heart than that Of Queen Of
the Most Holy Rosary, and no
form Of prayer makes such an ir-
resistible appeal to her as the
Rosary. During the month of
October the Church lays special
emphasis on its efficacy as means
of honoring the Blessed Virgin
Mary and obtaining from her Di-
vine Son innumerable graces and
blessings.
The Rosary is one of the most
devotional forms of prayer and
one adapted to the spiritual needs
of every Catholic no matter what
his position in life may be. No
high degree Of intelligence is re-
CURED to understand it's surpas-
sing value and the graces that
flow from it are not measured by
intellectual attainments or social
worth, but by the depth and inten-
sity Of the love that springs from
the devout heart Of the Child of
Mary. Rich and poor, old and
young, the learned and the ignor-
ant-each in his own way and in
accordance with the capacity of
his soul may experience the SUI
pernal delights which accrue to
all who make proper use Of this
tribute of praise and prayer to
God through His Virgin Mother.
During the month of October
Catholics should strive to honor
in an especial manner the Blessed
Virgin by the devout daily recita-
ton of the Rosary or, as it is com
monty called, the beads. Every
Catholic ought to be familiar with
this beautiful form of prayer and
have recourse to it daily. Each
one should make the Rosary his
constant companion by carrying

The fifth National Eucharistic
Congress held each year, to foster
last Thursday and will close with
a solemn procession of the Blessed
Sacrament next Sunday after
noon. Many prelates and priests
from all parts Of the United
State journeyed to Cincinnati to
participate in the Congress. The
object of the meeting is, like that
of the International Eucharistic
Congress held each year, to foster
devotion to our Lord in the Bless
ed Sacrament Of the Altar as the
pivotal dogma of the Catholic
Church, the magnet that attracts
holy souls and the source of grace
for all. The Congress is a public
manifestation Of faith in the Holy
Eucharist and, no doubt, it will
help to deepen and intensity this
fundamental devotion among
Catholics.

it on his person and utilizing the
spare moments of even the bust
est day in thumbing its beads.
The principal part of night pray
ers in every family should be the
recitation of the beads in COM
mon. There is nothing more pro-
ductive of the true Catholic home
spirit than the fervent recitation
of the Rosary by the members of
the family before retiring. 1t dis
sipates the mists of worldliness
that tend to gather around the
family hearth; it heals the wounds
caused by loss of temper, unchar-
itableness and pickering it brings
peace to hearts agitated by the
cares of daily life; it strengthens
the ties of family affection; it
feeds the flame of filial love; it
tempers the severity of parental
authority; it developes the spirit
ual life Of the individual; and
realizes in a measure the ideal of
the christian home made concrete
in the Holy Family of Nazareth.
The recitation Of the Rosary is
a profession of faith in the funda-
mental mysteries of our holy re-
ligion. It recalls to mind the wis
dom and power of God the Father
Who planned the work of human
redemption; of God the Son Who
in His own person bore the bur-
den Of the worlds iniquities in
order that this work might be rem
dered efficacious; of God the Holy
Ghost Whose abiding presence in
the Church makes possible the
continual application of healing
grace to human souls.
1t is book of meditation
wherein we pass in review the
events connected with the earth
ly life Of the Saviour and the part
which the Blessed Virgin played
in the economy of salvation. It
traces the course Of the divine OPP
erations from the day on which the
Angel Gabriel saluted the Maid. of
Israel through the mysteries Of
the Incarnation and Childhood OF
Christ, His agony and death, His
resurrection and ascension and
leads the mind to the very throne
of Him Who crowned His Virgin
Mother Queen of Angels and of
men. No other form of prayer
is so rich with the JUNCTION Of
grace; and none is more easily
said or more productive of lasting
benefit to the devout soul. The
habit of reciting the Rosary daily
is one which is very easily con-
tracted and which, when formed,
gradually weakens the power of
sin. Recourse to the Rosary
brings courage in temptation; So
lace in af1iction; perseverance
under difficulties; recollection in
the midst Of distractions; and the
assurance Of the never-failing pro-
lection of the Mother of God.
Parents should teach their chill
dren how to say the Rosary and
by the force of example impress
upon their young minds its value
as daily aid in the acquisition of
virtue.

ACTA EFT DICTA.

The current issue Of Acta ct
Dicta, the official publication Of
the st. Paul Catholic Historical
Society, maintains the high stand
ard of excellence set by the pre-
vious numbers. Since the society
was organized in 1905, it has pub
lished two volumes Of historical
data regarding the origin and
growth Of the Catholic Church in
the Northwest. The present issue
is number one Of volume three.
Its Reprints From Original
Documents contains an English
translation Of some Of the letters
written by the Rev. Joseph Cretin
to his relatives in France. They
deal largely with incidents in his
missionary career in Iowa and
have a special value as showing
the simple piety and apostolic
zeal of this sanity priest, who
afterwards became the first Bishop
Of st. Paul.
The original historical papers
comprise: Duluth, The Explorer
of Northern and Central Mime

man; The Rev. Francis Pirec,
Indian Missionary, by Rev. John
Seliskar, Phi. D.; The Liquor Prob
lem and the Jesuit Missions in
New France, by Rev. J. Francis
Nolan.
In addition there is a chronicle
OF current events interesting to
Catholics. The most important Of
these are an account of Cardinal
Vannutelli's visit to St. Paul, and
appreciative obituary notices Of
Monsignor Oster, Monsignor
Maier, Fathers GEMS, McNulty,
and Dillon, who died during the
year. A partial list of donations
