Intemperance Begets wretchedness.

Archbishop Ireland says: II have
seen too often the misery and the
horrid wretchedness which intemper-
ance begets; l have heard too often
the shrieks of woe and despair which
it compels; | know too well the fear
ful sins which before Heaven are laid
to it's charge. The dark tracings of
the picture are ever before my mind.
So long as the beatiugs of my CON-
mon humanity is with the victims of
intemperance, SO long as love dear
ly my country and | hope for the
perpetual of it's glories and it's
liberties. SO long as | recognize duties
toward him who came from the skies
to save sinners, to heal the sore and
the weary, to comfort the afflicted,
to do good-so long will / protest by
word and act against the giant curse
of our day, iDtemperance, and
against those who dare, in their
reckless contempt of earth and Heav-
en-. encourage and foment intem-
perance."

No, never. Its foolish to fear fanci-

perils to guard against in swamps and

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
The Attitude of the Catholic Church
Toward Prohibition.

The article following is from the
c. T. A. u. Advocate of February /,
1911, the official organ of the Cath
Ollie Total Abstainers Uuion of Ameri-
ca:
very often discussion concerning
the regulation of the liquor traffic
manifests an utter disregard for facts.
This disregard for facts is not con-
fined to friends or foes OF the liquor
business. Most that is said upon
either side, is said by partisans, and
it is hard for partisans to be perfect
ly fair. We admit that We are parti-
sans, but We try earnestly to be fair.
We do not think it is profitable to
lnisrepresent facts, or to draw out
OF facts more than is implied in them.
1--WE are convinced, that where it
is possible to remove the proximate
occasions OF mortal sin, it is IN
doubtedly good thing to remove
such occasions of sin. We believe
the statement is a commonplace OF
Catholic theology. Undoubtedly it
is an obligation binding under the
pain of mortal sin for the individual
to avoid such occasions of sin, as
would be very offensive in itself. A
new principle is involved, when the
unit is community instead of an
individual. Nevertheless, when any
form of indulgence becomes common
~ injurious, the social unit should
be morally bound to remove the
proximate occasion of its sin. There
ought to be no difference of opinion
concerning these principles, however
much men may differ as to the ques-
ton OF the exact proportions OF the
evils threatened in any community.
"We have, accordingly, insisted
that it is the duty of every Catholic
to weigh the facts in the case, and if
he believes the saloon public men,
ace, to advocate the closing of the
saloons in local option campaign,
or to enter into campaign for State
or National Prohibition. We have
a right to condemn the average sa-
loon-keeper and to speak as dispar-
ingly Of his business as the Council
of Baltimore has done. Catholic so
cieties frequently ostracise all who
may be connected with the sale ofin-
toxicating drink"

Prohibition and Crime.

1t is not surprising that individu-
als who are or may be interested in
the saloon, should endeavor to dis
credit prohibition by the statement
that crime and the increase of crime
costs are greater in the districts
which are prohibition than in the
districts which have the saloon.
However, such statements of dis
credit OF prohibition will not apply
to Cuddo parish.
If the criminal records were item
lied, it would be evidenced that more
murders and other serious crimes
have been perpetrated in Shreveport
and Cuddo parish when the saloons
were in full swing than since the be-
ginning OF prohibition.
If there has been an increase OF
crime, which is not conceded, the in
crease il from the deliberate viola
tors OF the prohibition law, who ON
being tried and convicted have been
required to pay fines, which have
been applied to the public school
fund.
1t should be borne in mind that
the greatest number of violations OF
the prohibition law have occurred
during the years preceding Novem-
Der, 1910, when the prohibitionists
were not in control Of the city gov
ernment.

themselves 60 the Beach. Many i'm
prOvements have been made along
the water front, aud other improve
ments are under way. Additional
piers have been constructed and
several new bath houses have been
erected. All OF these things, neces-

watering place, lend more comfort
and pleasure TO the surroundings.
Each day the excellent bathing facili-
ties are proving irresistible tempta-

found conditions equalIing those ex-

this true In connection with the bath

exodus has begun, many OF the home
people taking up their occupancy OF
their summer homes, while from
other cities and states have come a
