A RIGHT AMBITION.

A right ambition is a wonderful
blessing. In it are to be found the
seeds of true happiness. Every one
experiences disappointment at some
time or other in his life because of
failure to realize q hope held dear or
because of disappointment in the con-
solatlon gained from the attainment
OF an end which in the distance SEEM
ed to promise so much Of pleasure. He
whose ambition is to snatch at the
moving pictures in lifes drama finds
that the motion is one of the chief ele-
ments contributing to their attractive
ness. THE film by itself is not thing
of beauty, nor is the picture on it at
tractlve to the eye. And in like man.
ner he who spends all his energies in
the pursuit of passing phantoms is in
evitably disappointed when he finds
how far the reality fails in measuring
up to appearances. The robber steals
and the murderer murders because
they think their acts will make them
happy. But how completely they fail
they alone can understand. They mis-
take the satisfaction of passion for
happiness, which instead of bringing
about happiness is oftener productive
of the opposite state of mind.
The ambition that is productive of
happiness is that ambition and love
of right which directs activity along
the paths of virtue. He who is ac-
lively engaged in doing right is happy,

ity? Some few may live respectable
lives and not believe in God but if
they do theirs is not real virtue but
only veneer an outward imitation
OF the lives of those about them for
whom God is the one great reality.
Bishop Spalding once said the love
OF right is twin-born with the soul.
His statement is beautiful wording
of truth. Men are not naturally in
cllned to evil and if we see people so
completely helpless in the clutches of
demoralizing habits we must remem-
Der the reason they are that way is
not because they had to be so but be-
cause they were permitted to become
the victims of their own lack of pru-
denee.
10 stamp out vice is hard matter,
but to prevent it is an entirely differ
ent proposition. And it is to the pre-
vention of it that attention should be
given.

CATHOLICS ON LIST
Of Candidates Suggested by Bryan for
Presidential Nomination.

Bryan's Commoner of last week con-
tanned a list of names of men available
for the presidential nomination in 1912.
Among them are the names of two
prominent Irish Catholic politicians,
Governor Burke of North Dakota and
Senator O'Gorman Of New York. OF
Burke Mr.. Bryan says he is one of the
biggest men in the west. Referring to
Senator O'Gorman the Commoner ar
ticle states:
Senator Culberson of Texas and
Senator O'Gorman of New York
Culberson and O'Gorman-are avail
able candidates for president and vice
president, or O'Gorman and Culberson.
Smith and Burke represent the south
and west-the southeast and north
west; Culberson and O'Gorman repre-
sent south and east-the west-south
and northeast. Culberson and OGor-
man are clean, capable men and they
are in harmony with the advancing
sentiment of democracy. They be-
lieve in the constitution but instead of
using it for the protection of preda-
tory wealth they use it to guard the
rights of the people,

OLD CORNERSTONE
Laid by Father Junipero Sierra in 1881
Discovered by Accident.

Santa Clara, Cal, July 15.-The
long-sought cornerstone of the second
mission church of Santa Clara, laid ~
Father Junipero Sierra himself in 1881,
was discovered by accident by lab
orer who, in excavating for the munic-
ipal gas works, found his progress
blocked by wall of cobblestones.
Following it to the end, he came upon
large block of sandstone. He lifted
it and in hole hewn in the stone be-
meath he saw a silken purse and with
it gold and silver coins and a silver
cross
Joseph Worthington, superintendent
of the gas works, turned them-ov to
the Santa Clara County Historical So
ciety.
In the bag had been placed several
religious medals, the cross and silver
coins of the reign of Carlos III. of
Spain, and silver coin of the reign
of Felipe v. Of Spain.
Two years ago the historical society
erected memorial tablet about fifty
feet from the spot where the corner
stone has been discovered This was
as near as the location could be deter
mined. The monument is undoubtedly

THE ONE GREAT REMEDY.

In the report of the commission ap-
pointed to investigate moral condi-
lions in Minneapolis we find this
paragraph, which seems to strike at
the heart of the whole matter:
"The growing looseness of discip-
line In the home, certain measure of
independence of the authority of par
ents, due to the fact that so many
young girls are today wage earners
the enticements of the public danes
hall and the cheap theater, the lure Of
the automobile, and finally the conta-
gious love of diversion and excite
ment that seemingly possesses all ele-
ments of society in our cities today
are separately. or in combination, as
fluX of a new type of foreign element
in our cities, of late years, undoubt-
eddy has something to do with Great
ing this situation. This element has,
without question, tended to lower the
social and moral standards of the
community"
Looseness of discipline in the home
and in public schools and lack of reli-
gious training. these are the condi-
tons that fertilize the soil in which
vice thrives. The parents who through
failure to know the habits and the
haunts of their own children are pas
sively contributing to the great stream
Of humanity that each year treads the
downward path. Cheap theaters, i'm
moral shows, public dance halls where
the scum of depraved humanity seeks
to mngle with and contaminate the
innocent, are doing their destructive
work year by year simply because the
ties of home and the authority of par
ents are not strong enough to keep
the children from the worthless of de-
struction.
But what does good advice and
parental warnings amount to, of what
avail is knowledge of sex hygiene or
the assurances that purity of life is
desirable virtue If the admonitions
and knowledge Is not enforced by a
religious training which makes the
thought of an after life living real

There is no passion contrary to an
ger. Hence it is not possible to induce
a contrary mood in an angry person
as it is in the case of one who is sor-
rowful. Yet q mild unruffled demean-

wonderfully effective in overcoming
the passion.

DO People THINK?

we OIlen near 1T said that as a peO-
pie we Americans do not think for
ourselves but allow the editors of the
thousands Of newspapers and period
icals that belch forth from the press
every day to digest the facts and lay
conclusions before us which we ac-
cept without further ado, that, the
press is the rudder of public opinion
and the men who control the news
papers practically control the nation.
No doubt there is E, good deal of
truth in such statement. Newspa-
pers do influence public opinion. That
naturally follows from the fact that
they are constantly informing the pub
lie of developments. And it follows
as corollary that if sufficient num-
Der of them give similar coloring to
the news they can give the public
false ideas. But such influencing of
public opinion by the coloring of facts
related in the news columns can hard
ly be attributed to lack of thoughtful
ness on the part of the people, though
1t does deceive them. A table of sta
tistics in which there is no expression
of personal opinion whatever would
mould public opinion in the same way,
So that in so far as the news columns
of a paper are concerned the public
may be deceived whether they think
or not.
But it is different with the editorial
matter There the facts are reasoned
out from given data and if there is de-
ception those who are deceived either
lack intelligence or do moth think for
themselves But here again we are
confronted by the fact that there is
quite great variety of editorial opin-
ions even granting that syndicates can
uniformly color editorials in their pa
pers. The man then who is influenced
most by editorial opinion is the one
who reads but one paper, for those
who read papers in which contrary or
divergent views are expressed must
think for themselves or remain in
chaos. If a man takes but one per-
iodical the editor of that periodical is
in an excellent position to influence
his ideas.
But again it must be born in mind
that most people who read papers are
aware that editorial opinion is but
personal view and the degree of influ-
ence it will have must depend on the
opinion the reader has of the intelli-
sence of the writer and in how far
the opinions of the writer correspond
with the opinions of the reader in gen.
eral. for every man has some fixed
ideas on certain matters.
1t would seem then that newspapers
have greatest influence among that
class of people who read but single
periodical while among those who
read much they not only do not fur
nish readymade opinions but actually
cause the people to think for them
selves.
