CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

Congress has resumed business
at the old stand, and the battle be-
tween it and the President from
now on will rage with increased
intensity until the sweltering days
of next summer. The President
as usual is fighting for the trusts
and capitalists, and in fact, almost
anybody who wants to plumber the
public as he expects them to buy
him another term. On the other
hand Congress passed several good
tariff bills last summer which
would have greatly benefited the
public. President Taft vetoed
those bills as is well known, simply
because he thought it WIS the
wrong quarter of the moon or
something of that sort.
The greatest good however, that
has resulted from the sweeping
Democratic victory last year, has
been the rotten and corrupt state
of affairs which they have uneov-
cred by their investigation. 1t will
be recalled that Notwithstanding
the pure food law on the statute
book DR.. Wiley the champion en-
foreer, had his hands tied by two
copper heads Ct the agricultural
department, thus multiplying that
law.
The most startling development
however. occurred last week when
the Stanley Investigating commit
tee got hold of Wharton Baker of
Philadelphia well known banker.
Mr.. Baker stated that few weeks
before the presidential election of
1904 he was visiting New York on
business and in talking with one of
the great money kings of that city
was told that the railroads had
made deal with Roosevelt by
which they were to support and
elect him and on the other hand he
was to approve law that looked
to be an important railroad reform.
but which in reality was only a
bluff. This law was to be so
drawn as to permit pooling, to do
away with free passes which had
grown to be intollerable and few
more minor provisions. While this
is the first time the information has
been given to the public it has.
nevertheless, gradually dawned on
the public of this country that
Roosevelt won his election by a
corrupt deal.

THE CHURcH'S WORK FOR THE
NEGRO RACE.

There are five colored priests now
in the United States. But these five
priests do not by any means represent
the whole fighting force of the
Church's work for the negro. In the
Josephite order there are fifty priests,
thirty-eight of whom have charge of
missions exclusively for colored peo-
pie. Twenty-eight diocesan priests are
engaged in the same work and twenty
one priests of other religious orders,
making total of eighty-seven priests.
Besides these, there are forty-three
diocesan priests and ten priests of re-
ligious orders, with congregations of
white people, who have schools for
colored children attached to their
parishes.
There are nine religious communi-
ties of men-outside of the Josephites
and the Fathers of the Society of the
African Missions, both of whom work
exclusively for the negroes-which aid
in working for the colored people.
Twenty-three religious communities Of
women are represented in the work,
eleven of them having sisters at the
exclusively colored missions.

still does, to an appalling degree. The
daring and intrepid white men were,
however, not deferred by these perils.
Pushing into the heart of the coun-
try, they came upon primeval forests,
silent and breathing malaria, and
swamps whose depths concealed hid
eous reptiles. When they essayed to
ascend the Congo river, they encoun-
tered rocks and rapids through which
no boats could pass.
The history of the exploration of
Livingstone and Stanley and the let
tiers of the pioneer missionaries who
penetrated into the interior Of the
unknown continent, present marvel
lous pictures of mountain ranges, be-
yond which the sun sets in glory; of
the beauty of the dawn in Africa; the
splendor of the nights: and the "big
game" awaiting the hunter.
The apostles tell, in addition, of the
children they have redeemed from
slavery, of the Gospel preached to the
natives, and of the salvation of souls,
despite the constant danger to the
stranger from hostile tribes.

THE NEAREST CHURCH TO THE
POLE.

The nearest mission to the North
Pole is st. Mary's Igloo, situated about
$50 miles north of Cape Nome, the
last station on the border between the
civilized and the uncivilized world. It
is the center of religious life and &C
tivity for the Esquimaux of Northern
Alaska, district about one-seventh as
large as Europe, but with population
of only one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants. The mission is in charge OF
Father Joseph Bernard, S. J,
St. Mary's Mission is separated from
the pole by five hundred miles of
glacial sea. The cold is extreme in
winter, reaching as much as fifty de-
grees below zero. The cold, however,
is far less detrimental to missionary
endeavor than the terrible billiards.
which rage in this district sometimes
for a month at a stretch. While they
last it is impossible to stir from the
hut, or igloo. They cover everything
with a white mantle of snow, which
becomes hard as ice.
The little church of st. Mary is a
primitive log structure costing about
five hundred dollars. It's altar is a
plank on which stands two statues
one of the Sacred Heart, the other of
Our Lady of Lourdes, the patroness OF
the mission. There is no sacristy; but
a case near the altar serves as a
storeroom for the meagre furnishings
of the church. The priest lives in a
little hut, fifteen by twelve feet in size,
which serves as a bedroom, dining
room, kitchen, parlor, store-room and
dog-roost.
There are seven missions in the ter
ritory and the priest travels from one
to the other on snow-shoes when the
Journey is not too long and by dog
sled when he has to go to distant
point The sleigh is sixteen feet long,
made of oak, without nail or screw and
weighs about sixty pounds. 1t is
drawn by eight dogs, each of which
cost from fifty to hundred dollars.
By this means from sixty to seventy
miles are covered in days journey.
North of Behring Sea there are
none but Esquimaux, who are believed
to be the descendants of a remote
Monaghan stock. They are for the
most part pagans without any religious
rite. Conversions are few among
them-not more than twenty year
Priests are scarce and there are scores
of settlements, many of them with two
thousand inhabitants, without the
ministrations of a clergyman.
The Esquimaux does not dread
death. His life is so hard that his only
regret on leaving it is that he can nc
longer provide for his children, whom
he loves dearly. He surrenders his
soul with requiem on his lips which
is more like a song of triumph thar
the wall of departing soul that still
clings to the things of earth.

CATHOLICS IN DENMARK.

The Premier of Denmark, Count Hol-
stein Ledreburg, is Catholic; but
Denmark itself is land of Luther
anism The King of Denmark must,
according to the law of the land, be a
member of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, which is the established
church of the State. The population
of Denmark is 100000, of whom
$1,000 are Catholics, among these be-
ing 1000 Polish laborers. Copen-
hagen, the capital, has Catholic pop
ulation of about 5000, while another
Fredericksburg, numbering $500. The
rest of the Catholic body is scattered
among the thirty-three churches and
eighteen missions. Copenhagen itself
has three churches and four chapels,
with adjoining institutions. The clergy
comprise forty-seven priests, of whom
twenty-one are diocesan, and twenty
six regular. Among the former are
fourteen native Danes and converts.
The religious Orders are repre-
scented by the Society of Jesus, which
has the fourishing college of st. An
drew at Ordrupshoi, near Copenhagen,
and high school at Stenosgade. The
RedemptOrlStS nave an establishment
at Odensee. In 1906 the Redemption
lists laid the cornerstone of great
national sanctuary at Odensee, in
memory of the Danish saint, King
Canute. The work was welcomed by
Catholic and Protestant alike. The
day on which the cornerstone was laid
was observed as holiday by the
whole city, and all the notable citizens
were present at the ceremony. In fact
the Protestant municipality moved a
vote of thanks to the Fathers for the
new architectural adornment Of the
city. The Camillan Fathers are stu
ated in beautiful villa near Aalborg
in the chapel of which two Masses are
said every Sunday. The Oamillans
have also begun the erection of a hos
pital at the same place.
There are two Catholic papers in

BACK TO THE FOLD.

An English publication, Converts
to Rome" gives up-to-date statistics
regarding the progress of Catholicity
in the British Empire through con-
verts to the Church. The latest issue
has these figures as quoted by the
Dublin Freeman:
"There are 572 clergymen of the
Church of England, % from Scotland,
and IL from Ireland. There are 432
members of the nobility, 306 army off,
GERS, 1872 lawyers, AZ baronets and Is
baronet's wives, 81 naval officers, 90
medical men, and 80 diplomats, 35
artists, So musicians, and IA members
of the dramatic profession. The sta
tistics also show that there are 20
peers and So peeresses, Fl knights,
and 81 knights wives. Literature has
contributed 470 converts, including
poets, authors, playwrights and jour
nalists. Two hundred and three
clergymen's wives are registered. OF
Nonconformist ministers there are

Cambridge 346 Aberdeen University

lege in the University towns and the
public schools are given, Elton head
ing the list with SO. Children OF
grandchildren of converts are given in
the appendix, in which the names OF
Archbishop Bourne and Cardinal Mer
ry del Val occur. There is also one
convert who deserves special men

one fold under one Shepherd.

CATHOLIC CHINESE IN AMERICA.

Statements frequently appear in the
secular press to the effect that it is
useless to preach Christianity among
the Chinese, either at home or abroad,
because Buddhism has for centuries
had so firm hold upon the race that
the mentality of the Monaghan can not
comprehend or appreciate the teach
ings of Christ.
In contravention of this argument
The Montreal Tribune calls attention
to the edifying conduct of the small
group of Chinese Catholics in the city
of Maisonneuve during the Eucharistic
Congress, and the fact that Montreal
is the first city in the civilized world
where the flag emblazoned with the
dragon and the moon was borne in
triumph through the streets as a hon.
age to the Blessed Sacrament.
Our esteemed contemporary also
publishes letter fom a member of
the Paris Society for Foreign Missions
who has been fifteen years a mis-
sionary in China. This apostle dis
poses of the theory that Chinaman
can not be made good Catholic by
pointing to the Chinese martyrs beati-
fed in 1900 and 1909, the native fami-
lies of Kwang-Tong who, in face OF
various prosecutions and innumerable
trials, have remained Catholic for three
hundred years and have given to the
Church worthy priests and holy women
consecrated to God; to the Chinese
Catholic villages in the Celestial EN-
pire, Malasia, Burma, the Dutch pos
sessions of the Far East, and the little
companies of fervent Chinese, in Bos
ton and New York, as well as the
aforementioned group in Montreal.
In China he himself baptized more
than three thousand catechumens who
are persevering and fervent. The
trend of the times seems to show thai
China and her people, far from being
incapable of receiving Christianity, bic
fair, in their general advancement, te
become factors in promoting Christian
civilization.-C Catholic Missions.

Religious education lies at the foun-
dation of all knowledge and science,
for through it we come to knowledge
of God as the first efficient Cause and
Author of all things, as well as a
knowledge of our own nature, origin
and destiny. Thus it was that the
Roman Catholic Church, the church
founded by Jesus Christ and guided by
the Holy Ghost, conceiving from the
very beginning correct idea of the
nature and scope of education has ever
maintained that religion should not be
divorced from secular education; that
they are inseparable. the one complet-
ing and supplementing the other.
God will always protect us, although
He allows the devil to tempt us.
