dependence on the power of the
Church. If the clergy have any diff
ferences with the laity regarding the
association entrusted with this Office,
or if the laymen do not agree among
themselves, the matter is to be deci-
ded by the verdict not of the Church
but of the Republic which alone has
power over these bodies. And in the
ordering of Divine worship the rulers
of affairs in Portugal have pushed
the exclusion of the Clergy so far as
openly to prescribe and enact that
those who are dedicated to the religi-
Gus ministry cannot be elected to
the parochial councils OF to form
part of the administration or gov
erment of the association We have
mentioned. No more Ubiquitous or
intolerable prescription could be
imagined seeing that it places the
Clergy in a condition inferior to the
other citizens in the very matter in
which the, Clergy are preeminent.

without the permission of the Repub-
lie, to print the acts of the Bishops
or in any way make them known to
the people even within the walls of
the Churches. Moreover, it is forbid
den, without the consent of the Re
public, to have any ceremonies or
professions outside the sacred build
ings, or for any body to wear any
sacred insignia or even the cassock
itself. Again it is prohibited to place
any emblem relating to the Catholic
religion not only on public monu-
ments but even on private houses,
but there is no prohibition against
emblems which offend Catholics. So,
too, it Is not permitted to form a so
ciety for the promotion of religion and
devotion: such societies are plainly
treated on the same footing al Grim
inal associations organized for the
preparation OF crime. And while all
citizens are allowed to dispose at their
pleasure OF what belongs to them, in
the case OF Catholics this faculty il
restricted against all right and justice
when they wish to assign something
of theirs for the repose OF the souls
of the faithful or for the expenses OF
Divine worship, and pious requests

In this issue we publish the En-
cyclical Letter of our Holy Father,
Pope Plus X, ON the situation of
the Church in Portugal under the
drastic provisions of the recent
Law of Separation. 1t sums up
the chief features of this iniqui-
tous measure which is destined to
work so much hardship for reli-
gion and which, were it not for
the abiding presence of the Holy
Ghost, would, undoubtedly, bring
about the downfall of the
Church in Portugal. 1t is well
worth reading for the. con
else and accurate information
it conveys of situation which il
not easily grasped by the ordinary
person. No one who reads it car
fail to admire the attitude which
the Church has taken in regard tt
the Portuguese situation. Then
too, perusal of it will move tn,
reader to pray that speedy retri
button may overtake the enemie
of Gods Holy Church in the land
wherein she is being persecutet
for teaching the truths entruste,
to her keeping by her Divin
Founder.

Minnesota many temperance so
cieties possessed these fraternal
features; but they, too, dwindled
away and nought remains but the
record Of their existence.
No, these reasons do not suffice
to account for the apathy that is
so deplorably manifest among our
Catholic people in regard to this
important phase Of social activity.
Many thoughtful students Of
Catholic temperance work believe
that the fault. lies in our methods.
During the past decade of years
especially the drink problem has
assumed new phases that call for
the employment Of new methods
in combating the insidious adj
vances Of intemperance; and our
societies have not adjusted them
selves to the requirements Of their
modern environment nor made
use of new weapons in the war
fare. The methods Of fifty years
ago are still relied upon to do the
work; but, while they are excel
lent as far as they go, they fall
short Of what is demanded by the
changed conditions.
Temperance reform work today
is largely, if not wholly, educa-
tional. The movement is being
placed on scientific basis
throughout the world and, unless
it's leaders among Catholics en-
phasize this feature more than
they have done in the past, very
little of permanent good will re-
suit from their efforts. The tenn
perance work Of the future, to be
effective, must have a scientific
foundation; and, then, under the
inspiration and enthusiasm which
religion alone can impart to it,
we may reasonably hope for re-
newal Of practical interest in it
The emotional appeal alone will

to the individual and to society
Its effect, at best, is transitory
The history Of past efforts show
that the heroic activity Of Father
Mathew added to the ranks Of to.
tai abstainers only so long as tht
inspiration Of his voice and pres
} ence aroused enthusiasm in the
} breasts of his followers.
Few will deny that there is al
much need of practical temper
: ance work for the individual today
as there ever was; but the meth
DDS that proved sufficient in othel
days must be supplemented by thu
newer methods of warfare made
imperative by modern conditions

CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE
WORK.

It needed not the Total Abstin-
ence Convention Of last week to
prove that there is a deplorable
lack Of interest among Catholics
throughout Minnesota regarding
temperance work. Nor are con-
ditions any better throughout the
Northwest. Indeed, the same
apathy prevails very largely all
over the country except in few
localities where, under the stimu-
lus Of devoted and tireless leaders,
our people have rallied around
the standard of total abstinence
and give some evidence of an in
telligent interest in the cause.
This ebb-tide in the temperance
movement in our State is COM
mented on by those who are ac-
tive in the work in other States
Of the Union because, for almost
half century, Minnesota has
been the traditional source and in
spiration Of the Catholic total alb
stinence propaganda in America.
How account for this deplorable
state of affairs among us? Is it
due to dearth Of leaders to preach
the doctrine, to point out the way,
to lead and encourage the move
ment? Assuredly not; for many
of those who led the host of total
abstainers in Minnesota during
the past quarter of a century are
still with us, still interested in
furthering the cause by voice
and example. Is it, perhaps, be,
cause there is no further need fo1
this kind of activity among
Catholics? No one will say that
they require it more than any
other portion Of the community
: but will any one assert that it Is
entirely unnecessary

changed in this regard, that there

PROF. BULLOCK LECTURES AT
DECKER FARM.

The orchard lecture and demon
stration which took place on the
farm of H. B. Decker, Stroudsburg,
the scene of all the previous meet
ings, was well attended, which is evil
dence enough of the great popular
ity of these events. Ordinarily it is
not so easy to draw a good-sized
audience to an open air meeting on
a winter day. 1t is true that it was
an ideal winter day, the sun shining
from cloudless sky, giving warmth
and cheer, but the roads were heavy,
especially in the afternoon, when
the surface was thawed out to the
depth of several inches.
Professor Bullock, one of the
states orchard inspectors, had
charge of the meeting. He spoke at
length, dwelling on pruning, spray
ing and other topics of interest to
the fruit raiser. Some of these
topics had been discussed before, but
the speaker brought out and dwell
ed on some new points in an inter-
esting manner. His remarks were
listened to with great attention.
Many questions were asked by mem
bers of the audience and readily an
swered by the speaker in an obliging
manner He clearly proved that an
orchard meeting can be made very
interesting even in mid-winter, If
well conducted.-[Monroe Record.]

INDUSTRIAL HONESDALE
Outsiders Writing Board of Trade
For Information.

Honesdale is fast coming to the
front as an industrial town. The
Board of Trade has been the re-
cipient of many letters of late in
quiring how things were done in
Honesdale. One of the inquiries
came from the Stroudsburg Indus
trial Club, of Stroudsburg. The let
ter was read at the last regular
monthly meeting of the Board of
Trade, Thursday evening. Strouds-
burg, in making her debut, wants to
know what to do. Knowing of
Honesdale's experience along this
line she looked to us as an advisor.
The secretary of the local Board in
reply sent samples of it's stationery
and publicity matter to inquiring
Miss Stroudsburg for which her rep
resentatives were very grateful.
Watch the dirt fly in Stroudsburg.
Another complimentary letter was
received from Ira H. Shoemaker, in
dustrial agent of the Delaware and

ties of the locality, prior to my visit
