Mother Aioysia Hardey. Religious
of the Sacred Heart. 1S09-1886. With
an introduction by the Rev. Thomas
j. Campbell, S. J. Published by the
American Press, New York.
This is the life history of the first
American woman who became reli-
gious of the Sacred Heart, shortly
after that community was introduced
into America from France, Mary
Harley was born in Maryland in 1909
and moved with her parents to Loui-
siana where she entered the commu-
nifty of the Sacred Heart in 1925. At
the age of twentyseven she became
Superior of the community, and for
more than fifty years occupied posi-
tions of responsibility in the Order
both in America and in France. She
established houses of her community
in New York and other parts of Ameri-
ca; in Canada; and in Cuba. In 1872
she was summoned to Paris where she
was appointed Assistant General of the
Order-a position she occupied until
her death. During her incumbency she
visited America, Spain, Belgium, Eng
land and Ireland in the interest of her
Order. She died June II, 1886 at the
close of more than sixty years of the
religious life. Her remains were
brought to America twenty years later,
on the expulsion of her Order from
France and the confiscation of their
property, and re-interred at Kenwood,
N. Y.
Mary Aloysia Harley is really the
Foundress of the Religious of the
Sacred Heart in America. She
stamped upon them her individuality
and impaired to them something of her
American energy. She was very sue
cessful business woman and at the
same time a devoted, simple, pious
religious trusted by her superiors and
admired and loved by those over whom
she ruled. Her life is great part
of the history of the Sacred Heart
community in America. A perusal Of
it will reward all who are interested
in the growth and development of re-
ligious communities in America.

Only One Honest Man..

A preacher not more than a thou
sand miles from Bloomsbury grew fer
vent in %exhorting to honest living,
and near the close of his sermon he
said, "Let every person in the house
who is paying his or her debts stand
up" Instantly every man and wom-
an in the house, save one, was stand
ing.
After they we're peacefully seated
the dominic asked, "Now let those
stand up who are not paying their
debts," and q long, lean man OF sixty
Dr. more years, clothed in q seedy suit
of the past decade, slowly assumed q
perpendicular position in his pew.
"How is it, my FRIEND" inquired
the minister in austere tone, "thst
you r the only one of this intelligent
congregation who does not meet his
obligations?" The lanky individual
meekly answered, II run q newspaper,

up are my subscribers, snd"-
The minister broke in abruptly with,

spokesman REVIEW.
1t takes Montana a long time and
costs the state many scand als to learn
that legislative election of federal sen.
ators does not pay.
The experience of the states that
have adopted direct primaries has
shown that the nomination of senator
isl csndidate ties by the primaries. which
in effect is the election of the nominee
of the party In the.majority, is about
the sole satisfactory and safe means
of restoring self.government and rep.
resentstion In thel' United States sen.
ate to the people.
Montana has tskenls step In this di.
rection. But 1t is3s short and hating
step. 1t is the new law that state con.
ventions or petitions shall nominate
sen majors.
The convention has become q delus.
ion and q snare. 1t generally repre-.
sents the professional politicians, or.
CARNATIONS and oficeholders. 1t is
the stronghold of resistance by reac-

and progress. The Montana law is
an attempt to throw assop to the whale
OF progressive republicanism and

HOW LAWS ARE MADE.

The newspaper reports of the lsst
days proceedings of the twelfth az.
sembly indicate the probability of
carelessness In enacting laws that
we're ill.advised and Unnecessary, or
failure to give proper attention to
measures that YER for the public
good but which failed of enactment.
OF the food of bills which was intro.
duced during the session only 223-
about one.third of the total number
we're passed and sent to the governors
Office, and OF these ia were transmit.
ted on the last day of the session.
Many of these measures, of course,
had been more or less carefully con.
sidered since their introduction sew.
eral weeks ago, and final action upon
them by the house or senate was taken
with q full understanding of their
provisions: but in other cases there
was probably a lack Of knowledge as
to the intended effect of the provisions
contained therein. At former legisla.
tive sessions it has happened that in
the heat and confusion of the last
days proceedings, some undesirable
legislation was Internationally al
lowed to slip through, and such mis-.
takes may possibly have been made
on this occasion.
A pen picture Of the closing hours
OF the Legislative session is given by
the Helena Independent, which reads
in part as follows:
1t is doubtful ii even the chief clerk
knows how many bills we're passed.
Certain 1t is that the newspaper men,
trained in high speed work, we're able
to catch but the most hurried view OF
