Ex-senator Long of Kansas is
bowling because the people elimi-
mated Taft electors in his state by
a majority vote of some forty thou
sand in the recent primaries. The
people also eliminated Long some
time ago. The trouble with stand
patters like Long is that they do not
desire the people to rule. BY the
way, the result in the Kansas pri-
maries, held since the republican and
progressive conventions, does not
show any decadence of Roosevelt's s
popularity with the republican
masses. In straight fight between
Taft and Roosevelt forces the latter
carried the republican primaries by
as large majority as Kansas has ever
given for the republican ticket at a
general election. The chances are
Mr.. Taft will have a hard time to
carry a single state in the Union at
the November election. The people
are in earnest and determined. They
do not propose that such sentiments
as are voiced by stand-patters like
Long against the ability of the people
to rule shall have the least shadow
of endorsement.

A VETERAN EDITOR.

Last Sunday the Rev. William
McMahon, LII. D., pastor of St.
Patrick's Church, West Point,
Ohio, and editor Of the "Catholic
Universe" of Cleveland, cele-
brated the fortieth anniversary Of
his ordination to the priesthood.
He assumed editorial charge of the
"Catholic Universe" in 1891 and
still occupies the editors chair al
though, for some time, owing to
ill-health, he has been forced to
entrust it's direction largely to
others. Apart from his Journals
tic work he has labored faithfully
in parochial duties and in the pro-
motion Of total abstinence, and has
taken an active interest in all that
contributes to the general welfare
of the Church. Those who know
his worth pray that his years of
usefulness may be prolonged in
order that he may still devote his
varied talents to the service of
religion. The Catholic Bulletin
tenders it's congratulations to this
venerable editor who is among the
leaders Of Catholic journalism in
America.

GUILD OF CATHOLIC WOMEN,

The first annual report of the
Guild Of Catholic Women Of St.
Paul, since it's reorganization into
the different departments Of social
activity which it now comprises,
has just been issued from the
press. This booklet Of ffty-six
pages gives a detailed account of
the various lines Of work carried
on under the auspices Of the Guild
during the past winter, and should
prove instructive and stimulating
to all who are interested in any
phase of Catholic charitable en-
deavor on behalf Of the needy and
unfortunate. Within it's compass
will be found much to console and
inspire those who are inclined to
believe that love s labor is lost in
dealing with many whose social
condition needs betterment. It is
record of successful charity
work carried on by Catholic
women without ostentation and in
due submission to the leadership
of the Church.
Since the Guild was organized
on December s, 1906, it has stead
lily grown in numbers and in
fuence until now it has a member

DRINK AND SAFETY.

Railway companies are not bands of
hope. They are not in the world for
a reform propaganda. They have an
eye to the one thing, that is to make
the roads pay. To this end they find
it essential to do everything they can
to prevent accidents involving damage
either to persons or to property,
writes DR.. Head in Life and Health"
Realizing the fact that liquor makes
employees unsafe, and vastly in
creases the risks of accident, the Lake
Erie and Western division Of the New
York Central lines has begun a cam
paign against the use of liquor by en-
ployees at all times, whether on or off
duty. Nearly all railroads forbid the
use of liquor while on duty. The ten
dency, as business managers learn the
close relations between drink and ac-
cidents, will be more and more to
eliminate all drinkers, no matter how
moderate, from positions of RESPONSE
bility.
The man who takes an occasional
glass is potential drunkard, but as
such he would probably damage only
himself and his family; as moderate
drinker, he is probably on the road to
that nerve instability that makes for
train wrecks and other unavoidable"
disasters. Railway managers are
opening their eyes TO this fact

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

The summer vacation from
school duties is scarcely half over
and already thoughtful parents
are considering the merits Of the
respective Catholic schools that
seek their patronage for the COM
ing year. In Minnesota and the
Northwest there is no dearth of
Catholic educational institutions
high schools, academies, and
colleges-which compare most
favorably with any others of
similar character in the country
no matter under what auspices
they may be conducted. In select
ing schools for their boys and
girls Catholic parents should not
overlook these institutions; and,
wherever possible, preference
should be given to those main
tanned in their own community. It
required years of jealous work
and planning to bring our Catho-
lie schools to their present state of
efficiency, and they deserve the
loyal support Of all who seek the
best in intellectual and moral
training for the children entrusted
to their care. Why should Cath.
Ollie parents seek outside the Twin
Cities and the State of Minnesota
for a Catholic education not a
whit better than that afforded
them at home? Many Of these
schools are advertised in The
Catholic Bulletin. Write them fol
catalogues containing detailed in.
formation regarding the course OF
studies and special features, and
show your appreciation of theil
efforts and standing in the edu
cational world by patronizine
them whenever opportunity is Of
fered. Speak Of them to youl
friends and advise all who car
afford to give their children &
higher education to examine well
the claims Of our local schools be-
fore seeking similar advantages
elsewhere.

THE LIQUOR REVENUE.

When one recalls the battle of the
Anglo-Saxon race against unjust tax
alton, says the indicator, he can
hardly escape amazement at the sue
cess with which the liquor interests
have succeeded in befooling the Am
erican people with their claim to pro-
duce revenue" for the support of the
government. 1t is true that a large
amount of money comes into the treas
ury of our government through the
hands of the liquor traffic, but look
ing only at the magnitude of that

incomplete view of the character of
the liquor business as revenue pro-

Talk about conservation of our re-
sources when here, the most valuable

stroyed to benefit the vilest traffic.
The saloon and intemperance are the
enemies of souls that have infinite
worth, and the destroyers of bodies
that have cost such care. How utter
ly illogical it is to spend thousands of
dollars on schools and churches to
produce fine souls, and thousands of
dollars on sanitary cities and streets
and houses and safeguards, to grow

thousands more to restore criminals
to manhood, and then to allow on
every corner an institution which de-
stroys both body and soul.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
DRINK AND POVERTY.

It is obvious that there is a very
real and close connection between
restitution and the use of liquor. The
leading authorities have placed the
percentage of pauperism directly due
to intemperance from 40 to rs. To
this must be added the indirect intlu-
ence in producing want among the
poor in general.
The problem is evidently complex,
writes DR.. Croker in the Christian
Register, but the claim, recently made
by some writer's, that intemperance is
largely due to poverty, is, in the main,
not only erroneous, but exceedingly
harmful to the cause of temperance.
These students of social conditions
have made diagnosis that is not only
superficial, but injurious. They assert
that many people drink chiefly be-
cause they are poor; they are not poor
simply because they drink. They point
to the human wrecks in the saloon,
and tell us that these persons are
there to drown their miseries in the
cup. They also tell us that the family
in wretched howell or squalid tenement
is in distress, not primarily through
intemperance, but because the parents
have been driven to liquor by their
poverty.
These writer's have mistaken the
late and incidental conditions of these
lives for the real cause, which lies
farther back and is radically different.
1t is indeed, often true that later on in
life people resort to drink to drown
their misery; at this late stage they
do drink because poor. But this is not
the whole story, nor is it the import
ant part of the story. When, however,
we go back to early life, when we
touch the formative period and the
determining factor, we find that the
young man did not begin to drink be-
| cause poor He first drank because it
was the custom, because he enjoyed
the companionship and the exhilara-
tion-perhaps to crafty an appetite,
though this probably plays a smaller
part than is generally supposed.
Probably ninety-nine in every hundred
of those who become drunkards start
the habit without any reference what
ever to financial conditions. It is only
late in life, when want has overtaken
them, that they drink because they are
poor.

ORANGE TACTICS.

The usual disorders which
accompany the annual celebration
of the anniversary of the Battle
Of the Boyne in Belfast and other
places in the North Of Ireland
were accumulated this year by an
anti-Home Rule demonstration on
the part of the Orangemen. About
fifty thousand of them gath
cred at Belfast on July IL and
when they saw the arches erected
for the occasion torn down by the
advocates of Home Rule they as
sailed their opponents. There was
rioting and blood-shedding. The
police reserves of the city were
called out and had difficulty in
coping with the situation. The
troops were summoned but before
they started for the scene of dis
order the police had the mob
under control. After the parade
the Orangemen assembled and
passed a resolution against the
Home Rule Bill. These anti-Irish
citizens Of Belfast and vicinity are
the ones who have raised the cry
Of intolerance in Ireland and yet
they themselves are the only ones
who protest on religious grounds
against Catholics enjoying the
rights to which their citizenship
entities them.

PRIZE FOR SAINTS LIFE
An American Offers $1,000 for Best
Life of St. CoIumbanus.

The Irish Ecclesiastical Record an
nounces that an American Ecclesias-
tic, whose name is withheld for the
present, has offered the Bishops of
Ireland prize of one thousand dollars
for the best life of st. Columbanus
to be ready for the centenary celebra-
ton in 1915. This offer was accepted
by the Bishops and they appointed a
committee consisting of the Most
Reverend Archbishop of Tuam, the
Very Reverend Canon Hogan, Vice
President of Maynooth, the DR.. Nc
Gallery and the DR.. Sigerson, also of
Maynooth, the Right Honorable M. F.
Cox, M. D., to arrange the retails
The donor says that the motive
which inspired him to make such an
offering was the hope that it might be
the means of presenting the Irish peo-
pie and their descendants with work
which would be at once popular and
scholarly, embodying the best results
of all modern writer's who deal with
the sources of the Saints life in the
period it embraces, and at the same
time couched in good literary form.

count of the literary and artistic Gull
ture of contemporary Ireland and a
reliable presentation Of the social,
political and economic aspects of the
period given as a background for the
life OF the Saint.

Some Catholics seem to think
that the obligation of hearing
Mass on Sunday does not bind in
conscience during the summer
months. 1t interferes too much
with the Sunday morning rest
which some regard as indispens-
able after the exertions Of the
week. It curtails the amount of
time that can be given to the diff
ferent forms of enjoyment to
which the vacationist usually de-
votes the Sunday. But when the
fool who rocks the sail boat
causes drowning, or the careless
hunter takes human life, it is no
small consolation for the mourners
to know that the deceased was
at Mass that Sunday. 1t is al
ways we'll to remember that there
is no vacation from religious
duties.

PHILIPPINE LOOT FOR SALE

the amount of looting done by the
American soldiers in the Philip

selves to whatever of value they
could lay their hands on and
carry off. The churches with their

offerings of generations of devout
Catholics were a foraging ground
