TO PURIFY THE STAGE.

A movement, which it's pro-
motors hope to make nationwide,
has been started in New York for
the purpose Of purifying the stage
from unbecoming plays, thus i'm
proving the moral tone Of theatres.
It was started under the auspices
of the Daughters Of the Faith, an
organization Of which Miss Eliza
Lummis is the founder, and it has
the endorsement and support of
His Eminence Cardinal Farley
and many other Prelates.
The primary purpose Of this
national Catholic theatre move
ment is to unite the Catholic laity
in demanding purer ideals for the
drama; to provide for Catholic
supervision Of plays; to give sub
stance to Catholic protest to open
way to the public demonstration
Of Catholic principles through the
medium Of the stage"
While the primary object of
the promoters is to organize Cath
olics throughout the country in an
effort to bring about an improve
ment in the moral tone Of the
plays presented on the American
stage, they seek the cooperation of
all, irrespective Of creed, who arc
interested in this reform. They
wish to organize a national union
for the eradication of immoral
shows and the improvement of
conditions in the theatrical world.
A practical test Of reputable
plays will be made in New York
and, if successful, they will then
be reproduced in other cities. If
these plays are not all that is to
be desired from the moral point
of view they will not be staged
elsewhere.
The plan Of organization pro-
vides that a national committee
shall invite the formation in every
city of Catholic civic committee
under the supervision Of the
Bishop Of the diocese, and this
committee shall endeavor to
secure the cooperation Of all peo-
| pie interested in uplifting the
status Of the theatre. Such a ma
tion-wide organization is expected
to bring sufficient pressure upon
the owners of theatres and the
promoters of theatrical enter
prises as to make it difficult, if
not impossible, for any play that
is not up to a certain standard to
secure the patronage of the pub
lie.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
CANADIAN CATHOLICS WORK FOR
TEMPERANCE.

The remarkable wave of temperance
passing over the province Of Quebec
formed the subject of discussion at
Catholic Social Endeavor Congress re-
Gently held at Three Rivers. Accord
ing to statistics supplied by the Rev.
Father Ladislas, Franciscan, who dealt
with the subject as practical man en-
gagged in temperance work, a consid-
cradle reduction in the number of bars
in the province has taken place with
in the past seven years-or since the
Inauguration by Archbishop Bruchesi
and Archbishop Begin of a province
wide campaign with view to educat-
ing the whole province to a realiza-
ton Of the dangers of alcoholism.
Whereas in 1905 there were 20 licenses
issued for each $4,000 population, in
1912 the proportion stood Sc licenses
for each 10000. Moreover, consider
able number of municipalities have
gone straight prohibition, with the re-
suit that there are no drink dispensing
establishments within their borders
In the bringing about of this crafty
ing result those interested in Catholic
social endeavor had distributed con-
siderably over 100000 brochures,
pamphlets, ETC., whilst a temperance
campaign has been waged from the
pulpit and school in every parish in
the province.
Though the different phases of Cath
Ole endeavor, in connection with
Journalism, and the fighting of the
white plague were dealt with by the
congress, the principle topic of dis
cussion centered about temperance
work. The Rev. Father Ladislas,
aforementioned, whilst admitting that
the results thus far attained have been
gratifying, pointed out that there still
remains much to be done. In the
first place, efforts must be principally
concentrated on the youth of the prov
lnce. The method of combating the evil
of alcoholism must be educative, and
thus it is into the very schools that
the workers must go if they hope to
bring about any tangible result Nor
was the family to be neglected in the
great work. Here much good work
could be effected by the distribution Of
anti-alcoholic literature. In the par
ishes the cause could be advanced by
frequent holding of temperance demon
STATIONS, the founding of societies
destined to encourage abstinence from
strong drink.
AS to curative measures to be
adopted, the speaker, whose views
were later embodied in a resolution
passed by the whole congress, recon-
mends more frequent approach to the
Sacramento of Penance and the Eu-
charist by victims of the habit, whilst
in the case of the more inveterate
ones, whose cases were almost hope
less, a species Of personal prohibition,
somewhat after the fashion of the
Indian list" should be adopted.

more favorable position in that
country than Bishop Ortynski
does in this. The latter can exer-

Bishop Budka derives his faculties

QUALITY IS SOUGHT
National Convention Being Held In ST
Louis With No Candidate for
President to be
Named.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-When the
populist national convention met here
today there was some doubt as to
whether Governor Wilson, or Colonel
Roosevelt would be endorsed as the
party's choice for the presidency. 1t
was also possible the convention
would merely adopt platform and
leave the choice of candidate to the
individual party members. 1t was
agreed the populists would not put a
ticket in the field themselves.
Thomas T. Tibbles, of Omaha, was
ready to make a fight for the endorse
ment of Wilson, but there was strong
Roosevelt sentiment among the dele
gates.
1t is certain the platform will in
clude strong suffrage plank.
The convention today comes very
near setting record in the matter OF
whiskers. The hiersute adornment,
long famous with the populists, has
apparently lost its popularity or atten.
tion is given more to quality than
quantity # whiskers.
The convention today was in great
contrast to those of years passed
There We scarcel..- 25 delegates in
one Of the assembly rooms of the St
James hotel. In 1892 the populists
polled over 100000 votes, but the
party has steadily dwindled, as have
4 the whiskers. BY actual count theN
l.were only two boards in the conven
1 tion today.
James F. Ferris, chairman Of the
national committee declared this at
iternoon that there were just as many
populists as ever. but they are voting
with other parties.
"The progressive party this yeal
adopted eighteen OF our planks; the
democrats six and the republicans
four OF thirty-four planks in our
last platform all but six have been ap
proved by other parties he said.

MONTREAL. Quebec, Aug. b.
Wireless stations along the Canadian
coast today are on the lookout for
messages from the Allan liner Corsi-
can, Montreal to Liverpool, which re-
ported her bows stove in by COLI
sion with an iceberg. Captain Cooks
wireless to the Allan line officers
said the damage to the ships stem
was above the water line; that there
was no danger. and that he was pro-
ceeding on his way. The Corsican
left Montreal with 25 first-class, G2
second class and 200 third class pas
sengers.
Despite the reassuring message
from Captain Cook, the Allan officials
remembering long delay in receiving
news of the Titanic disaster, and the
conflicting reports flashed from wire
less station to wireless station up
and down the coast. were anxious to
hear more from the Corsican and
eagerly awaited news
The first message from Captain
Cook said that the Corsican had
struck low lying berg in latitude
1924 north and longitude 52.15 west.
The steamer Lake Champlain was the
first to pick up the signal of distress
and replied that she was hurrying to
the rescue. Almost Immediately
came other messages from the Corsi-
can stating that the damage was
slight The captain reported that
the stem OF the vessel was only
slightly stove above the water line
and that she was taking no water He
added that the Corsican would pro.
coed to Liverpool. That the liner was
not seriously damaged was attributed
to the fact that the Corsican was un-
der reduced speed.
Officers Not Alarmed.
BOSTON, Aug. 13.General Mana
ger Bryce ]. Allan, OF the Allan line
office here, today stated that although
the Canadian office had heard no fur
ther word from the liner Corstcan
which struck an iceberg off Belle Isle
near Newfoundland, he felt certain
that both steamship and passengers
were safe.
From the reports received of the
accident" he said, Il believe that the
rule Of this Line to proceed with ex
treme caution when In a fog, or in
the vicinity Of Ice fields prevented an.
other horrible marine tragedy
The Allan company today announc
ed that another wireless message
was received today from Captain
Cook, confirming the first announce
ment that the Corsican was not ser
iously damaged, and giving more de
tails of the collision with the iceberg
When the low berg was sighted, said
Captain Cooks message. the ships
engines were reversed, but not In
time and she touched the iceberg. Her
DOW was slightly stove, all damage
loeing above the water line. Captain
Cook said she was proceeding slowly
