coPERNIcUs AND RIDIcULE.

The Methodist Church in Amer
lea has a plan to raise 100000 for
it's missions in Korea. The pro-
gram for it's communicates calls
for the elimination of one meal a
day; the eschewing Of the choicer
kinds Of food; the substitution Of
walking for street car and automo-
bile rides; and the cutting out of
Injuries of all kinds until the fund
is raised, The money saved in this
way is to be turned into the treas
TRY of the church for the specified
mission work. We can all take a
hint from this. There are many
things that can be dispensed with
without danger to our health, nay
rather, with great physical benefit.
This systematic self-denial can be
made the foundation and source of
much charitable work in behalf of
deserving objects. The number
who make sacrifices in order that
they may have money to assist
good works is smaller than it
ought to be. Lent offers splen-
did opportunity to dispense with
many things we regard as neces-
sites and give the proceeds to
those in need.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
MOVEMENT IN
GERMANY.

William e. Curtis, writing in the
Chicago Record Herald, says:
There Is a strong temperance move
ment in Germany, with the Kaiser
and the medical profession in the
lead, and strange to say, it is directed
against the national beverage as well
as against distilled spirits. Private
investigations, which have been going
on for number of years, concerning
the effect of malt liquors upon the
physical condition of people employed
in different occupations, show that
they are harmful to consumers who
lead sedentary lives and whose bust
ness confines them to Offices, shops
and factories. The effect upon farm
ers, outdoor laborers and those occu-
pations which require physical exertion
is healthful The experiments upon
the army show that the consumption
actively employed out of doors is harm
less, while in barracks it is harmful
The effect upon students corresponds
with other results reported, and the
faculties of several universities are
now considering the propriety of abol-
ishing the famous and ancient drink
ing societies.
upon the morals has been observed,
and evidently it has never been taken
into consideration No nation places
so high value upon physical culture
as the Germans and the reform is
based entirely upon physical grounds.
have not been able to discover that
there has been any temperance agita-
lions like those that occur in the
United States. There is no prohibi-
tion movement or total abstinence
agitation, but the Kaiser, the military
authorities, the medical profession,
the university professors, and others
who are taking an active part are con-
sidering only the physical degenera-
ton of the German race.
have not been able to get hold of
a copy OF a report of a medical COM
mission which has been the subject
of discussion in the newspapers, par
ticularly in the medical journals, but
| am informed that it asserts that %
per cent of the deaths of persons over
20 years of age during recent year
were due directly or indirectly to al
cohol, and it is especially serious in its
discussion of the hereditary effect
of beer drinking upon future genera
tions.
A military officer who stands very
close to his majesty, tells me that the
kaiser, with his usual emphasis, has
.. given orders for the collection of sta
tistics on this subject in the examina-
ton of conscripts. Last year (1909)
there were 1,189,S45 young men aver
aging 81 years old examined by mill
tary surgeons for admission to the
army, and were questioned as to the
literacy of their parents. Hereafter
conscripts will be also questioned as
to the physical condition of their par
ents and their consumption of beer.

THE Y. w. G. A.

VI late the Dung women S
Christian Association has been
strenuous efforts to extend
the sphere Of it's operations New
territory is being annexed; new
association buildings are in pro-
cess of construction and others
are projected. Appeals are made
to the public for the financing of
this propaganda. In more than
one instance their activity in seek
ing the aid Of Catholics in their
work has called forth pronounce
ments from Catholic prelates.
The Most Reverend Jose Mora,
D. D., Archbishop Of Mexico City,
Mexico, has put a quietus on the
movement to establish branch
Of the Y. w. G. A. in that city as
far as Catholics are concerned.
When the movement was started
many Catholic women, leaders in
society, subscribed and accepted
positions on the different commit
tees formed to solicit subscrip-
tions. Last week they all handed
in their designations as soon as
one Of them received a letter from
the Archbishop in which he insist
ed that they withdraw their sup
port from the organization mas
much as it was not Catholic and
is unworthy the name Of Christian.
It is now believed that this action
of the Archbishop makes it impos-
sible to proceed any farther with
the work.
Archbishop Blenk of New Or
leans was recently appealed to un-
der similar circumstances. When
a movement was launched to
establish a branch of the organiza-
ton in that city a number of
Catholic women wrote him to
know if they might assist The
Archbishop replied in his official
organ: emo, most decidedly, no.
Under no circumstances can a
Catholic woman become a member
Of the Young Women's Christian
Association, any more than a Cath
Ollie man can be member Of the
Y. M. G. A. This is my answer
and it is decisive and fnal' He
supplements this with warning
to Catholic working girls not to be
misled by pleas Of unsectarianism
and not to frequent Y. w. G. A.
headquarters when established.
The Y. w. G. A. is female Y.
M. G. A. and no more deserves the
support Of Catholics than the lat,
ter. Both associations are iden-
teal in aim and purpose; and
work under similar restrictions in
regard to the admission of Cath.
olics to positions of prominence
They are primarily Protestant in
scope and sentiment. Both are
un-American in as much as they
make an appeal to Catholics fol-
financial assistance in carrying
out their projects and then abso
lutely refuse to allow Catholics tt
hold any official position in con
nection with the institution which
they are solicited to help. They
are the same everywhere no mat
ter what their professions may be

spots by dyeing his hairy coat.

SENATOR'S PLAN FOR
SUMNER RECESS IS
OPPOSED BY HOUSE
Clark Demands That Senate
Act on Reciprocity and
Other Issues.

The House leaders propose to keep
the venerable Senate of the United
States here in Washington through the
hot months, sizzling and steaming and
stewing for the purpose of compelling II
to vote on reciprocity, the free list. and
other important phases of the tariff
question.
The Senate is not going to be allowed
to recess and get away from the hot
weather IL the House knows itself, not
by a joyful Speaker Clark has been
meditating on the Senate talk Of taking
a recess through July, August, and Sep
TENDER, and he doesn't like II.
He says the Senate will have to stand
the hot weather as best 1t can, but 1t
does not need to think the House is
going to allow 1t to get out Of Wash
ington without taking action on reel
procity, the various amendments Of
fered thereto and some of the other big
things on the Democratic program.
The House Democrats have such COM
plete control Of the House situation that
this probably means they will be able
to force the Senate to stay here until
there have been tests on reciprocity,
the free list one or two schedules, and
perhaps reapporionment and campaign
publicity. AS neither house can ad-
journ for more than three days with
out the consent Of the other, the Sen
ate will probably be helpless.
AS things stand now, the House Is
in much better shape than the Senate.
The House has nearly completed its
work, and its members can loaf around
and go to bali games while the Senate
hammers away at the tariff.

TO jail on ch3rge of false pretenses.
Detective Pratt brought Morse from
Baltimore after the waging of a legal
battle with the Virginia authorities vino

tective, had anticipated such move
ment, and baked II with a peace bail,
which he had got from the District Su-
preme Court here.
The sureties on Mcrse's bond, Joseph
]. o'Neil and William Zahrand, Of Bal
timore. told the Baltimore court that If
the defendant were not turned over to
them, they would run the risk of having
the penalty of the bond. $1,000, forfeited
The Baltimore court decided that the
peace bail had precedence over the
Virginia requisition, and ordered Morse
TO be turned over to DetectiveNPratt and
the suretes.
Upon his arrival in this jurisdiction
Morse was taken before Chief Pustice
Clabaugh and surrendered to the court
The marshal took charge of i'm and sent
him to the United States jail to Await

be obtained for him tomorrow.

Hallam Begins Suit
In Bank Stock Case

Willard F. Hallam commenced equity
proceedings in the District Supreme
Court today to secure possession of a
note and ninety-two shares of stock of
the United States Savings Bank, as COL
lateral security, the United States Trust
Company being named as defendant.
The bills filed by Attorneys Wilton ].
Lambert and R. H. Yeatman allege that
Hallam delivered a note in the sum of
about $500, payable in seven months,
the stock being given as collateral. This,
it is alleged, was done January Z, 1911
He declares that he rendered the bank
sufficient money to pay the value of
the note and interest to the date of its
maturity, July Z, 1911, as he. desired to
obtain possession of the stock.
He alleges the bank refused to accept
payment of the note and deliver the
stock and threatened to sell the stock
Halam prays the court to restrain the
bank from selling the stock until the
case is determined. and asks the court
to direct that the not and stock be de-
livered to him upon payment of the
amount due thereon.

Little delay in the passage of the

thought the resolution viii be put
through without much trouble.
Senator Bailey will vote against the
resolution, but he will not make the
fight which he threatened to make at
the outset when the recall proposition
in the Arizona constitution first stirred
up feeling in the Senate. It was be-

SENATE THREATENS
TO CONTEST JUDGE
APPOINTED BY TAFT
]. D. Elliott, Once Before Re.
jected, Named for South
Dakota.

There is some uneasiness at the White
House today over the likelihood of a
fight against the confirmation of James
u. Elliott. nominated by the President
yesterday afternoon as United States
Judge for the district of South Dakota
limitations have reached the Presi-
dent that Elliott has opponents still in
the Cpited states Senate. and that they
will not consent TO his confirmation
without vigorous protest. The Presi-
dent, 1t Is said. knew this before he
made the appointment.
A few years ago Elliott was noni-
mated as United States district attorney
for South Dakota. Senator KittridGe
opposed his confirmation and it failed.
The charge against the appointee then
Was that he was involved in a land
deal which was not tn his credit
Senator Kittridge now is dead, it is
true, but Elliott still has vigorou.
enemies in South Dakota, who are now
expected to come forward and make
their fight.
The President appointed two other
judges yesterday. The more important
Of these was that Of William Schofeld
as judge Of -the First circuit. embracing
New England. He succeeds the late
Judge Lowell. who died some months
ago. Schofield is a lawyer of Boston,

" ashington for a time as secretary to
Judge Horace Gray, of the United States
Supreme Court.
The other appointment went to a
Democratic lawyer OF south Carolira,
H. A. NJ. Smith, from Charleston. Mr.
Smith will succeed Judge William H.

age. The President early in his Admin
istration appointed a Democrat to a
