PASTORAL LETTER or BISHOP
BUSCH.

All strictly church societies shall
nave their officers appointed by thu
pastor annually and the. treasury O
such societies shall always be subjecl
TO the control of the Pastor.
| All societies approved by the
church. whose membership is made
up exclusively of Catholics and who
| elect their own officers, must accept
the local pastor as their ex-offlcic
chaplain or spiritual director, whether
ne be member OF such society or not
and 1t shall be the duty of said chap.
lain to see that none but practical
Catholics are admitted or continued
as members of such society, or to re.
port to the bishop any society failing
to be thus guided.
Societies whose membership in
cludes non-Catholics are allowed to
appear in church in a body and wear
ing their regalia only when such So
cieties are ORGANIZED for a purely
civic or patriotic purpose.
Afternoon weddings and funerals
are allowed only when in the judy
ment of the pastor they are absolute
ly necessary.
Owing to the severe conditions pre-
yailing over almost the entire do
cese during the past year, no collec-
ton for the education of students for
the priesthood was ordered
Trusting that the coming year will
be more propitious, collection will
be expected in March for the Holy
Father, at Easter for the Orphans of
the diocese and in September for the
students In the Seminaries.
In conclusion beg leave to urge
upon all pastors to exhort the faith
full committed to their care to receive
Holy Communion as often as possible,
individually and also in body for
this is the very best test of religious
earnestness.
1t would be great help and bless
ing If the old custom of family pray
ers in common were revived and If all
the members of every family, would
recite together morning and even
ing prayer as also prayers before and
AFTER meals.
Pastors are reminded that entire con-
secration to the service of the faith
full under their charge is their highest
duty and they will rejoice il the fer
yor of the people increases their bur-
dens for they know that only the faith
full practice of religion can bring
peace to society and happiness to the
individual
With these elementary duties in
mind and with the earnest determine.
ton to live up to them with absolute
fidelity the new year cannot be other
than what we wish it to be for our.
selves and others, "a Happy New
Year"
Praying God to give us light and
strength to carry out His Holy Will,
Very devotedly yours in Christ,

J - as Bishop of Lead.

You have seen or known men and
women who could and did bear great
physical suffering; who bravely met
loss. grief, and misfortune. This is
a sort Of standing firm none can help
admiring. None should ever try to
keep from admiring it. But finer than
this is the divine patience of the spirit
which Wayers not, even though all
things seem to have conspired against
the foundation of faith; even though
waves Of doubt be oversweeping the
stones and winds OF derision threat
ening to tear them asunder.

INFLUX OF PRIESTS FROM
PORTUGAL TO ROME

Rome, Jan. 12.- The recent in
flux Of priests expelled from Portu
gal is threatening trouble for the re-
ligious orders already established in
Rome
What makes the anti-clertcals' po-
sition strong is that the constitu-
ton allows no religious institutions
in the Italian capital. The law, how
ever has never been strictly enforced
and there are at present 230 congre-
cations domiciled here, not counting
the 36S churches of the numerous
colleges for the education of priests.
No serious objection was raised
to this condition until the Portuguese
exiles began pouring in. Then there
was a protest and this protest called
attention to the already prevailing
situation. The anti-clericals have
compiled figures showing that one
ninth the entire population of the
Holy City is engaged in religious
work and demanding what the law
against religious establishments is
for if not enforced.

PLAN TO SUPPLEMENT-
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

Chicago, Jan. f22.- The clearing
house system for farmers is proposed
as practical solution of the cooper
alton recommended by Secretary Will
son and others, the idea being thai
of Chicago man, Seth Farnsworth
He contends that it will supplement
the postal saving banks facilities for
saving which at last, and with de-
clded success, have been inaugurated
in GO towns and cities under the bill
passed by the last congress. LET
the farmers of the country, or as
many of them, organize farmers
one bank in the county to act as
their clearing house, and give that
bank an assignment from each mem
Der of all Of the products of hfs
farm, this to be sold by the bank and
the proceeds held by the bank to the
credit of the farmer" said Mr..
Farnsworth. Let each sign an
agreement not to purchase anything,
food, clothing. machinery, automo-
biles, or stock, except through the
clearinghouse bank and let the ar
rangement be that no member can
withdraw cash except at stated in
tervals.
BY this plan, if member wants
to sell direct to local dealers, let
him have the right to do so, but re-
ceive the money in credit check on
the bank, that check to be deposited
with the clearing house bank. Pro-
vision should be made that if any
members crops are unequal in any
year to pay for his familys necessi-
ties he may temporarily draw from
the funds Of the association held by
the bank, and work his crops under
direction of government experts until
he repays the advance. This clear
ing house plan is practical and will
solve the eyer-present trouble, the
need Of circulating medium, money,
when credits for crops should answer
equally as we'll. When man has
money in his pockets he is likely to
spend it. If it is credit with the
clearing house bank he will have no
difficulty in purchasing everything
he needed, including luxuries, and he
and his fellow members will be able
to buy everything at much better
prices Any bank would be glad to
enter into such an arrangement and
perform the work On 5 per cent mar.
gin and it would increase enormous
ly and almost instantly the banks de-
posits and resources.

CUBA WILL H0LO A BIG
NATIONAL CELEBRATION

Havana, Jan. 12.-Cuba will cele-
crate the anniversary of the re-estab-
lshment of the government in
more sensible manner than she usu-
lilly exhibits in her celebrations. In
stead of appropriating vast sums of
money for festivities, most of the
money going into the pockets of the
select few and no permanent good
resulting therefrom, the program for
the coming deliberations Is to hold a
national exposition, one which will
Illustrate the resources of the island.
agricultural, horticultural. Industrial
and mineral. The national show is
TO be opened on January Is, the Sec
ond anniversary of the day when
General Jos. Miguel Gomez was inau-
gurated president of the Republic of
CUBA, and also the evacuation of the
Island by the Army of Cuban Pacifi-
cation.
There will also be other observa-
lions of the day, but this will be the
most notable one, and it will be sure
to draw great deal OF attention
from the United States. The pro-
ducing wealth of Cuba has increased
SO much during the last Twelve
years that the people of Cuba are
anxious to show the people of the
world what they have here now, and
at the same time the people of the
world are little bit interested. and
IL they can simply go to Havana and
satisfy their curiosity without going
on long and tiresome tours over the
island, there will no doubt be a
large attendance from different Sec
tons of the United States.
This is not to be an international
affair, and many county and state at
fairs in the United States have been
larger in extent than this first effort
on Cuba's part will be. but there is
no country in the world that can put
up display g interesting to the
people Of the States as Cuba can.
The exposition is to be held in the
beautiful Botanical Gardens in the
edge of the city. This place has such
historical connections that it is in
itself point of great interest to the
tourist and the sightseer. 1t is at
the former summer home of the Cap
tain-General of Cuba. Here it was
that Butcher" Weyler lived during
his stay in Cuba.

ENTENTE CORDIALE is
UNDERGOING STRAIN

London, Jan. H. The Franco
! British entente cordiale is undergo
ing strain more severe than either
government is willing to publicly adj
nit because of the recent repulses of
French forces by natives in the Wa
cal district OF the Sudan.
The French defeats are attributed
to the support given by the sultan of
Darfur, British subject, to the Mas
ulit tribe. The French government
as interrogated Great Britain, with
scant diplomacy, rs to what measure
the latter has taken to police and
control the Anglo Egyption sphere Of
influence in the Sudan.
/ The reply of the British govern
ment has not been made public, but
the nature of it may be gathered
from the conditions Of the country
where the recent hostilities have TAX

inflated France.
i Darfur is undoubtedly in the Brit
ish sphere of influence, but the coun-
try is practically independent under

dealers whose caravans, coming from
the south, move northward to Tri-
poll, trading in ivory gum and slaves.
The district is bounded on the
Egyptian side by vast deserts where

fully 5000 men would be necessary.
Such a force would die of thirst en-

tain's position is that she is unwilling
to spend enormous sums in railroad
building through through barren
worthless country for purely military
purposes especially when her own
sway in the Soudan is secure. 1t is
pointed out that that part OF Darf.lr
which lies in the French sphere Of
influence is rich in date palms, lem

France could therefore more easily

PUBLIC SAFETY LEAGUE
WOULD SAVE LIVES

Chicago, Jan. 12.-- Reducing by
one-half the appalling and growing
loss Of life in railroad operations in
the United States by adoption in ev-
cry state of England's ban against
the use of railroad rights of way as
public thoroughfares, and also by
the compulsory safeguarding of the
tracks by modern signal apparatus,
is declared possible in bulletin OF
the League for Public Safety from
headquarters in Chicago. In many
states laws prohibit trespassing up
on rights of way and to provide a
means for enforcement of those laws
have been proposed and in Wisconsin
and Indiana are urged with particu
lar emphasis by the railroad commits
sionS. Approximately one-half OF
the victims of casualties resulting
from railroad operations are tres
passers who use The rights of way
as thoroughfares, including the
tramps who risk their lives on rail
road trains. Both Indiana and Wiscon-
sin have established safety depart
ments and the plan under consider
alton in many other states. In Wis
consin the result has been the discov-
cry that railroads lose an enormous
amount of traffic by their failure to
expedite the movement of trains by
means of up to date signal apparatus.
Figures compiled by the League
for Public Safety show that those
railroads which have been most pro-
gressive in providing safeguards for
travellers and employees by install
ing the best signal apparatus yet
available are the ones which show
the largest earnings and the smalles,
| losses in wrecks. The estimated
loss of $3.50, 100000 annually in the
railroads wreck waste does not take
! into consideration the loss of reven.
ues due to the impeded traffic when
| for lack Of signal equipment, trains
| call ne moved only at a very SLOW
speed even in good weather. The fig
ures do not take into consideration
either the losses charged into variou.
/ accounts as result of interrupted
traffic when wrecks occur. The five
American railroads which had 1
clean record in 1909 of not a fatal
ity in train accidents out Of theil
