culbcrson to Have Opposition

The political mill Is about to grind
out a contest for the United states
Senatorship between Senator Culber.
son and Ex-Governor Tom Campbell.
Mr. Culberson has never had any
opposition. Every body has stood for
him and he has made q clean faith
full Senator. although not as active
and as much In the public eye as
some others
lie has been always on the watch
tower and has been dreaded by all
politicians who had unholy schemes
to put through In every case where
the senior Senator from Texas has
made q statement he has had the
proof In his pocket He has been
true to Texas and his speeches and
votes have always been true to De
mocratic policies.
Now. however. since Camp
bell sentiment Is taking shape IL is
being charged that Mr.. Culberson
has taken issue with the democracy
OF his state.
The State Convention last summer
went on record as favoring the re-
neal or change OF the Texas stock
and bond laws so as to give more
latitude to railroad builders and Cul-
berson is opposed to such changes.
The laws we're made during the
period when Hogg and Culberson
were in the saddle IN Texas and ma
turaliy Mr.. Culberson thinks they
are good but there are thousands in
Texas who want 10 see mere rail-
roads built and the arguments made
by Col. Ripley and Judge Lovett
have brought about a conviction that
those laws are a handicap TO develop

How We May Win settlers

The Young Mems Business League
Of Snyder is composed OF men who
would be glad to boost all sorts of
enterprises and the Secretary has
been active in promoting every
movement that he could but It ought
to be known that they cannot do
much without a fund.
These young men set out to work
In conjunction with the Commercial
Club and no fees nor dues levied.
Then the Commercial Club aban-
doned the collection of dues and con-
seQuently these organizations have
no money with which to pay Operat-
ing expenses and therefore there
Is very little operating going on.
No town should be without a COM
mercial club and II takes some
money to maintain a club that can
do things.
II is not necessary to send to some
other state for Smart Elllck" to
look after our Commercial welfare.
II Is better to leave the work to our
home men who are vitality interest
cd. There are many industries seek
ing location in Texas and Snyder as
we'll as other towns should keep in
touch with the industrial world and
get share OF the capital and the
settlers.
Il was way back during last
Spring that the business interests
OF Floyd. Crosby and other counties
organized to send men into the north
ern States TO induce immigration.
Tho result Is that large crowds Of
homo seekers are coming In there
every week or two and they are buy
Ing homes there and engaging in
business enterprises and the country
Is being settled up by solid people OF
course the crops reported there have
helped. but the Boosters didn't wait
for crops nor should we wait. The
movement should begin now and by
next fall we will have the crops and
will get the settlers.

Mr.. Finty recommends the estab-

THE JOYFUL MAY DAYS.

The brightest days of all the year
have come, and our hearts are filled
with joy. Nature is lovely with it's
sunshine and flowers. The air is pure
and balmy. The blightsome birds are
heard on every side, singing their
loveliest carols, and holy hearts re-
bound with joy and exultation and
give renewed thanks to God for the
new life and new hope the May month
always brings.
But what shall we do with all this
beauty and loneliness, all this bright
ness, and all this joy, asks Bishop Col
ton, but wreathe it as crown for our
She was the fairest of earth's daugh-
tiers, and so should have it's fairest
flowers; she was the purest and love
Hest of nature, and so should have
the brightest and best of what it gives.
Let, then, the joy and exultation which
love and devotion we show our
Blessed Lady, in the lights and flowers
with which we deck her altar, as we
hail her from our hearts our own, our
lovely May Queen. How elevating the
thoughts devotion to the Mother of
God inspires. We catch something
of her own spirit by recalling her i'm
maculate life. We grow noble and
refined in our nature the more we
ponder and venerate her as our Moth
er, for so good and great mother
must needs have pure and holy chill
dren.
The saints have increased in sancti-
ty by communing with her, the Queen
of Heaven and Earth, and men and
women have become angelic in low
ing her, the Queen of Angels. Thou
art all fair, my beloved, and there is
neither spot nor stain in thee" is
Heavens eulogy to her worthiness,
and Holy Church takes up the strain
and sings it to the farthermost ends
of the earth, till it is echoed back
from every holy heart.
Let, then, these joyful May days
find even greater joy as we give our
Blessed Mother marks of our love in
the lights and flowers We bring to her
altar, as with gladstone hearts we
sing her praise and listen with rapt
attention to all that is said to her
honor and glory. AS we tell her
thus our love, she will love us the
more and ask for us an increase of
grace to make us loved of God, and
by her motherly care she will bring
us to that land where all is fair and
beautiful, all joy and happiness in
the beautific vision in heaven.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. GREGORY OF NYssA.

Gregory was younger brother OF
st. Basil, and like him began life as a
teacher of rhetoric After much hest
citation he forsook the world and gave
himself to the service of the Church.
He was called by st. Basil to help him
in his Diocese, and was in due time
chosen Bishop of Nyssa in Cappa-
docia. There the Arians prosecuted
him and prevailed on the Governor
to Danish him, as they could not resist
his zeal and eloquence; but on the
death of the Arian emperor Valens he
returned to his See. He was deputed
to visit the Churches in Arabia and
Palestine, to redress the abuses and
heal the dissensions left by years of
controversy. He says: when I saw
the Holy Places I was filled with a
joy and pleasure which no tongue can
EXPRESS" but he warns Christians
against making pious pilgrimages an
occasion of idleness and dissipation,
or regarding them as in any way a
substitute for holiness and obedience.
He sat in the second General Council
at Constantinople, A. D. 381, and was
referred to as the centre of COM
munion in the East. They were
reckoned orthodox Catholics who were
in communion with Gregory. He died
about A. D. 400, leaving many SER
mons and other works in defence of
the Faith, remarkable for their clear
ness of expression and sound reason
ing. In $50 st. Gregory visited Arabia
and Palestine. He had the consola-
ton of finding some Catholics and of
visiting the Holy Places, which, he
says, filled him with joy inexpressible.
But his heart was wrung with anguish
by the wrangling on the sacred mys-
teries carried on around the very
cradle and tomb of our Divine Lord
and by the GOODNESS of many who
called themselves Catholics. His
mission had but very imperfect sue.
cess; and on his return he wrote a
letter expressing his grief, and urging
the faithful remnant to abide firm and
mistaken in the faith and communion
of the one Church, and to shun the
proud and imperious teaching of the
heretics.

DO PROTESTANTS GO TO
HEAVEN?

Moved by communication which
he received from "A Poor Protestant"
who asked whether the Church taught
that Protestants would stand no
chance Of going to heaven, or that
God created them to be damned"
Bishop Foley, of the ancient Diocese
of Kildare and Lieghtrim, Ireland, Sc
lected as the particular topic of re-
cent Lenten pastoral, the doctrine
which is summed up in the formu-
la: Outside of the Church there is no
salvation" Since there is hardly any
other dogma of the Catholic faith
which lend itself so readily to misrep-
resentation at the hands of outsiders,
or which is so calculated to prejudice
inquiries against the claims of the
Church, Bishop Foley's lucid explana-
ton is of permanent value. He writes:
Looking out upon the world and
realizing the enormous number of hui
man beings who have never even
heard of Christ, we cannot be surprised
if many earnest inQuirers are repealed
by the apparent harshness and intol-
erance of this great truth of Catho-
lie belief. Seeing that fully two-thirds
of the human race are not even nomi
nally Christians and that nearly one
half of the remaining third is outside
the fold of Christ, we are asked by
outsiders to believe that this dogma
which, it is said, dooms five-sixths of
the human race to everlasting dam
nation ic ohc0111tn1Iy iraaradih1o
self, as well as in hopeless conflict
with the we'll known will of God that
all men should be saved and come to
the knowledge of the truth
What obligations, then, do we con-
ceive to be implied in the words of
the catechism that no one can be
saved out of the Catholic church,
Are we bound by this doctrine to be-
heve that there can be no hope of
salvation for those who have not been
baptized, have lived all their lives out
side the Catholic Church? Every in
structed Catholic knows that we are
bound to believe nothing of the kind.
We are all familiar with the axiom
that God Almighty refuses His grace
to no man who makes the best use
he can to the faculties afforded him.
1T is well known writes Plus TX,
that those who labor under invincible
ignorance with respect to our most
holy religion, and who, carefully OBJ
serving the natural law imprinted by
God on their hearts, live an upright
life, may, through the operation of Di-
vine Grace attain eternal life, since
God, of His great goodness and mercy,
never allows anyone to be consigned to
eternal punishment who has not been
guilty of grevious sin. But the Pontiff
adds, the dogma is also well known
which declares that outside the Cath
olic Church no one can be saved In
what sense, then can it be truly said
that some OF those who are inculpably
ignorant of her claims are to a certain
extent inside the Church of Christ?

That the votes for women propa-
ganda is not confined to England
alone is made apparent by the prep
aration being made by women in
other parts OF Europe for the cele-
bratton of Women's day. The women
of Germany, Austria and Sweden,
who are working in the interests Of
woman suffrage have arranged to
hold special meetings and to make
demonstrations in support of the
movement on May IA.
The Danish social democratines-
to adopt a convenient German word
have informed their German sisters
that they cannot join in the ~interna-
tional demonstration on May IA, be-
caused they are engrossed in the com
munal elections. They promise, how
ever, to organize an agitation IN ia
vor of votes for women later in the
year,
For various reasons, however. the
women of Switzerland were Obliged
to observe F~rauentag (Women's day)
earlier in the season, and they made
their demonstration on March IL.
The Dutch women have not yet set
tied the day for making a special eff
fort on behalf of the cause, but May
IA will probably be chosen. The
movement for women's electoral rights
in Holland is being led by socialists.

cratic Clubs, which has just been held.
the subject was very much to the
fore. Frau Wibaut, who presided.
pointed out that $4,000 women have
signed a petition for general electoral
rights for men and women alike. She
said the standpoint OF the Dutch wo-
men raj different to that of the Eng
fish s~uffragists. They were working
for equal electoral rights for men and
