Some days ago a notorious fell
into the Seine and many Of the
passengers were drowned. One of
them, a priest, the Able Richard,
risked his life half dozen times
to save those of his fellow passen-
gers and succeeded in rescuing
four Of them from certain death.
The French Home Office has just
decided to confer on him a medal
in recognition Of his bravery. All
agree that the act deserved the
Cross Of the Legion of Honor; but
it would seem that even a priest
who risks his own life to save
that of another is regarded with
suspicion in official circles, for
another man who also saved lives
from the wrecked omnibus has
been awarded the red ribbon of
the higher decoration though his
deed was less worthy of recogni-
ton than that Of the Able
Richard.

Last Sunday a memorial tablet
was unveiled in st. Peters Church,
New York, to commemorate the
life and deeds Of Colonel Thomas
Dongan, the Catholic governor of
New York in colonial days. Gov
ernor Dix of New York presided
at the ceremony and made an adj
dress. Archbishop Farley COM
menting on the fact that Colonel
Dongan was the only Catholic
Governor of New York State
asked "Why not try Catholic
Governor of New York again? If
Governor Dongan set the pace for
the entire country in so many
things, if his spirit informs the
Charter of New York today and
informs also the fundamental fea-
lures of the government Of the
most of the English colonies, why
should we not entrust a Catholic
Governor with the affairs of the
State of New York some day." It
is rather strange that New York
with its large Catholic population
has had but one Catholic governor
during all these years.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
ENGLISH WOMEN AND DRINK.

Lady Henry Somerset, one OF the
best-knOWn students Of sociology i'm
England, Is taking an active part in
a crusade recently inaugurated in Eng
land for the purpose OF rescuing wom-
en- from the evils of the drink habit
which is alarmingly on the increase
among the women of that country.
In this connection she said recently:
There is no exaggeration in the
statement that drunkenness is sapping
the womanhood of the nation. While
men are ceasing to be drunkards, wom-
en- are increasingly tipplers. The rea-
sons are not very far to seek. Modern
life Is such that a woman's nerves
quickly go to pieces, unless she is very
careful. The working girls may be
overtaxed; the suburban wife may be
oyertaxed; the society woman may 90
too fast a pace. They develop lassi-
tude, ills and pains of hundred and
one different kinds, and they resort to
alcohol as soother and stimulant.
'They hear, perhaps, of some quack
tonic-in most cases a drug-which
they find a great benefit at first. Then
they want something stronger. The
tonic fails to act as it used to when
they wanted sleep, or when they want
ed to strengthen their nerves. They
try something else; and thus the trag-
| edy goes on. Gradually the stimulant
gets grip, and after time, of course,
they find they are becoming human
wrecks.
This reform of women drunkards is
state matter-and a very important
state matter It soon will have to be
considered before anything else. do
not suppose | shall live to see the
change, but it will come, and the ma
ton will be all the better, healthier
and happier when limit is placed on
the facilities for getting drink.
1T must be borne in mind that this
increased tipping among women is not
confined to the lower and middle
| classes. Women in the higher classes
also are it's victims, and for the same
reasons. The feverish haste of modern
life produces a condition of the system
which demands stimulants. In the one
case it may be gin, in the other wine,
but the result is the same.
1T is a gratifying sign that we are
awakening to the dangers Of the evil
and are taking means to fight it."

One of the questions which
President Taft has dealt with in
his western speeches is that of
divorce. AS a lawyer and Judge,
the President has given a great
deal of thought to this vital ques-
ton and his conclusions are
worthy of consideration because
he views the question from the
legal as well as from the moral
standpoint. He believes that the
states of the Union should enact
uniform laws governing the re-
marriage of divorced persons;
and that every state should have
upon its statute books a law max
ing it a crime for persons who
are divorced in one state and for
hidden to re-marry in that state, to
marry IN any other state. He re-
CARDS the re-marriage of a di-
vorced person in such circum-
stances as bigamy. As practical
legislator, President Taft sees diff
culties in the way Of securing the
passage of laws making the
causes for which divorce may be
secured uniform in every state
That, however, may come later,
1t is Of far more immediate i'm
portance, he says, to have law
in every state prohibiting the re-

the most monstrous and sensation
al allegations and the most loath-
some insinuations find their place
in it's pages, while its editor pre-
| fixes Reverend to his name.
1.-THE excuse for this horrible
misuse Of honest type and clean
paper is that !" temporal power is
a public menace" and the public
school lis the antidote for papal
poison. The Bellman is indebted
to an anonymous sender for ac-
quainting him with the fact that
such a publication exists, other
wise he would have remained in
the belief that enlightenment, re
! ligious tolerance and Christian
brotherhood had made such prog
ress in America during the last
fifty years that even such fimsy
and sickening medium for frenzied
religious fanaticism as The Men
ace would find it impossible to
live.
'Half a century ago, hysterical
bigotry among the illiterate and
narrow minded of America might
have been successfully appealed to
in response to a partisan cry which
had as it's basis the danger to the
state from temporal power, but
partisan religious intolerance has
been driven to it's obscure caves
by the spread Of education and the
growth Of a noble spirit Of the
broad Christianity which is willing
to concede to each the right to
worship God in his own way and
according to his own creed.
Intelligent Americans can no
longer be thrown into a panic Of
fear lest the Roman pontiff should
exercise autocratic influence over
this country or seek to interfere
with the liberties Of it's people.
Such talk is wicked nonsense, de-
signed only to spread the spirit of
religious strife, which, thank
Heaven, this country has long out
grown. He who seeks to dissem-
mate the evil seeds Of hate and
distrust among religious bodies
may possibly imagine he is doing
the work Of Him whom he pre-
tends to serve, but in fact he is
merely gratifying his own deprav-
ed instincts and serving the cause
Of Satan.
"The fair and open mind Of the
American refuses to consider the
frenzied argument Of the religious
bigot who would stir him to strife
with his brother over theoretical
dangers, and accepts only the evil
dence1 of his own eyes. He judges
the Catholic Church by what it
has done and is doing daily in this
country and not by the partisan
outpourings Of its enemies.

sick, in the ministrations Of hope

wickedness, in opposing vice, it's

and the Catholic citizen is as true
to his country and as faithful to
its institutions as his Protestant

CITIZEN AND PRELATE.


Of Catholic America and, indeed,
Of the whole country have been
turned towards Baltimore where
His Eminence, James Cardinal Glib
bons, is receiving congratulations
on the fftieth anniversary Of his
priesthood and the twenty-ffth
of his Cardinalate. Few events in
the history of the Church in
America have afforded occasion
for greater rejoicing. This is
more significant in view of the
fact that the tribute is paid not
to an organization or institution
but to an individual whose career
in the Church and in the civic life
Of the nation has been contempor-
aneous with what is, in many re-
spects, the period Of their greatest
development.
It may be said with truth that
there is no man in public life to-
day in America who is more
revered by all classes than His
Eminence, the Cardinal Arch
bishop Of Baltimore. He is an
American Of Americans. He is a
native-born son who, during the
greater part Of his life, has been a
leader among men, occupying po-
sitions Of responsibility and honor
to the discharge Of whose duties
he brought a fidelity and single
ness Of purpose worthy Of the
highest praise. AS a citizen Car
dinal Gibbons has been a beacon
light to his fellowmen in all that
appertains to the highest welfare
of the nation. His love for the
flag is hallowed by his reverence
for all that it symbolizes; his 10y
atty to the best interests Of the Re-
public is evidenced by his unspar-
ing efforts in it's behalf. In his
civic life he has exemplifed the
highest ideals of citizenship and
by voice and pen he has striven to
inculcate an intelligent conception
Of it's responsibilities and con.
scientious discharging of official
duties. In public and private he
has labored increasingly to pro
mote the welfare Of his country
and has given to all classes an
example worthy Of emulation. For
this he is beloved by the people OF
America, irrespective Of class OF
creed.
A few months ago the leaders in
the civic life Of the nation as
sembled at Baltimore to do him
honor; and no greater tribute OF
love and esteem could be paid tc
any citizen than that which the
president Of the nation and its
leaders in every walk of life ther
bestowed upon him. In this they
voiced the sentiments Of the whole
country.
But, however highly he is es
/ teemed as a citizen, it is as a Pre-.
late that he has been pre-eminent
AS Archbishop of Baltimore it has
been his privilege to watch over
the welfare of the Church and tc
mould her course in America; and
those who are conversant with this
| phase of his career admit that dur.
ling the past half century he has
shown an eminently statesmanlike
/ grasp of the situation, and q
thorough comprehension Of the po
sition Of the Church in the Repub
lie. That his labors on her behalf
have been appreciated by The
highest authority in the Church is
shown by the fact that quarter
of century ago His Holiness, Lee
XIII, honored him with the title
and prerogatives Of member Of

In Germany the Emperor himself
warns his soldiers against drinking
and begs them, from motives of pa

but we must by self-discipline deliver
ourselves from that evil. In the next

POVERTY CAUSES
SUICIDE AND MURDER

OXFORD, Me, Feb. 12.-This village
was shocked this evening by the SEN
sational murder and suicide of Mrs.
Lynwood Keene and her young son.
There is mystery surrounding the
crime, but it IS believed the cause is
due to death pact made with her
dying husband.
Mrs, Keene apparently made all the
preparations for her terrible deed.
When all was ready she took her little
boy into her room and shot him through
the heart Immediately afterwards she
shot herself through the head, dying
almost instantly.
The family were until recently pros
porous, Mr. Keene being a farmer of
this district But reverses came when
Mr.. Keene lost his health, and the fam
lily moved into town. Too sick to work
and realizing that he was dying and
that his wife and son would be left in
destitute circumstances, it is asserted
that the husband and wife agreed, that
all should die together.
When all hope of the life of Lynwood
was given up, Mrs. Keene proceeded to
carry out the agreement made with her
husband, Ast,

CALIFORNIA SENATORS

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-Action was
taken here at a caucus Of the Repub-
lican State Senators yesterday to side
track efforts by Legislators dominated
by the Chinese Exclusion League to
initiate legislation directed against
japanese immigration.
1t was decided not to press anti-J Jap
anese legislation but to limit action by
the State Senate to memoralizing Con-
gress to preserve the essentials in the
present treaty with Japan, particularly
as to the labor clauses.
1t is expected that there Will be a
conflict with the Assembly over this
action by the party in control of the

ators are nearly unanimous In depre-
eating radical agitation at this time
over the question of, further anti-Jap-
anesc legislation.
