verse with science all day and
lodge with religion in the evening.
It is not touching the evil, to which
these remarks have been directed,
if young men eat and drink and
sleep in one place. and think in
another: / want the same roof to
contain both the intellectual and
moral discipline. Devotion is not
a sort Of finish given to the
sciences; nor is science a sort of
feather in the cap, if I may so ex-
press myself, an ornament and set
off to devotion. I want the intel

the devout ecclesiastic to be intel
lectual.'

EXIT VALENTINE.

Robert G.. Valentine, United
States Commissioner Of Indian At
fairs, has resigned his office in Or
der, as he states in his letter to
Mr.. Fisher, the Secretary of the
Interior, that he may actively
espouse the cause Of Colonel
Roosevelt by afiliating himself
with the new party. We wish him
well in his departure from official
life and we do not begrudge Mr..
Roosevelt the support which he
may be able to get from this new
acquisition to the ranks Of his ad-
herents.
Mr.. Valentines period of use
fulness as Commissioner of Indian
Affairs expired some months ago
when he issued a ruling by which
he sought to prevent the Catholic
Sisters teaching in the Govern
ment Indian Schools from wearing
their official garb while engaged
in the performance Of their duties.
Prior to that, he had manifested
his antipathy to Catholic interests
in general. Some years ago when
there was question of regulating
the religious service in all Govern
ment Indian Schools so as to give
the Indian pupils full liberty of
conscience, Mr. Valentine showed
his opposition in no uncertain
manner. 1t had been customary in
the Indian schools to make all the
children, irrespective of their re-
ligious affiliations, attend the Sec
tartan service provided by the
Superintendent Of the school. This
proved a hardship to the Catholic
children and, naturally, protests
were made against the custom. 1t
was finally decided by Mr.. Bal
linger, in spite of the protests of
Mr.. Valentine, that full religious
liberty should be granted to the
Indian pupils, so that the mem
bers of any church would be free
to attend the services provided by
that church and not be obliged to
attend any other, In other words.
the clergymen of the different
churches were permitted equal ac-
cess to the schools for the purpose
of conducting religious exercises
and seeing the nuDi1S who were
members of their respective focks.
This ruling, eminently fair and
just, did not meet with the ap-
proval of the Commissioner.
Everyone is familiar with the
order issued by Commissioner VAL
entine at the beginning of the year
by which he prohibited the wear
ing of a religious garb in the In

WHY THEY ARE AGAINST LIQUOR.

Why is it that in France the officers
placard the barracks Of the soldiers
with notices warning against drink?
Why is it that British officers, accus-
toned to the moderate use of liquors,
have become total abstainers as an
example to the men? Why is the
total abstinence movement in the
British army is SO popular that 40 per
cent of the Indian troops are total
abstafners? Why is it that the Ger
man emperor is earnestly urging ab
stinence in the German army and
navy? 1t is because the leading army
men in France, England and Germany
want efficient fighting machines, and
they know that liquor even in mod
crate amount does not make an eff
cient soldier.

During the past month the
Sacred College has been called
upon to mourn the loss of two dis
tinguished representatives, Car
dinal Fischer, Archbishop of Co.
logne, and Cardinal Samassa,
Archbishop Of Erlau, Or Eyer, in
Hungary. The latter had almost
attained his eighty-fourth year,
sixty Of which had been spent in
the priesthood. He was appointed
to the Episcopal See of Scopes in
1871, and three years later was
promoted to the Archbishopric Of
Erlau. In 1905 he was made a
member of the Sacred College Of
Cardinals.

SOCIAL DRINKING.

If social drinking in the society
world could be made questionable the
cause of temperance would be greatly
advanced. If social drinking among
men could be made unpopular total
abstinence would receive a mighty inn
pulse. It is as a social custom that
strong drink most often begins it's
deadly work. The young man does
not take his first drink because he
likes it. He takes it because he thinks
it will make him seem manly and up
to-date to do so. He does not pur-
chase a bottle of whiskey and go off
by himself to drink it. He may do
that later on, but at first he drinks
for the social pleasure he expects to
derive from it.
In these days of close competition
and small margins it is necessary for
a man to be at his best If he would
succeed; and no man can be entirely
fit who is ever SO slightly under the
influence of strong drink.
Then there is the domestic or home
side of the drink question. The man

misery to his family. If he is poor
they suffer deprivation and want. If
he is rich they look to the time when
bad management or neglect will re-
duce them to poverty, and added to
the humiliation of his habits there will
be the discomforts Of perjury.
Whisky has been driven from nearly
every place of honor and trust. 1t is
a bar to achievement, an enemy to
happiness, and a menace to health.
Even as a medicine alcohol has lost
it's vogue, and the best physicians sell
dom prescribe it.
But in spite of business require
ments and domestic needs, social
drinking continues. There is some
thing incomprehensible about the toll
erance of a custom which, if contin-
ued, may ruin a mans prospects.
There is a note of inconsistency in a
policy that finds it's pleasures in under
mining it's possibilities.
Sobriety is stock in trade for the
ambitious a. 1t opens the door of
opportunity. 1t gives him a chance
to utilize his ability. 1t converts his
energy into cash. It materializes his
aspirations. Inebriety blights ambi-
ton, closes the door to opportunity,
paralyzes energy, and destroys the
aspirations.
Social drinking does not in all cases
lead to drunkenness; but nearly all
drunkenness begins in social drinking.
The young man who begins to drink
does not intend to become an inebriate.
He means to be a moderate drinker.
He knows of prominent business men
who drink moderately, but who are
respected and esteemed. If he thinks
at all, he thinks he will be like them.
1t must be remembered that the
moderate drinkers who occupy high
positions have reached those positions
in spite of their drinking practises,
and not because of them. While they
might defend those habits in them
selves, they would be quick to object
to them in those who asked their as
s%istance.

A DIsREPUTARLE BUSINESS.

No wonder that the Church wishes
her members to get out and to keep
out of the disreputable business, and
calls upon her pastors to do what
they can to induce such of their peo-
pie as are engaged in the dangerous
business to get out of it and betake
themselves to a more becoming way
of making a living, which ought no
to be difficult. But perhaps it would
be looking for too much to expect
them to do this. A man may be for
various reasons unfit for any other
business, says Father Landing in the
Pittsburg Observer, but as one is
never too poor to help a dog nor too
ignorant to talk politics, SO he is
lever too worthless to sell drink.
When he is fit for nothing else, he
still seems fit for that; and those who
have been In the business a while
seem fit for no other. At least they
do not freely forsake it for a more be-
coming one. They might be starved
out by their customers, instead of
being allowed to starve out their
patrons. Or to put it a better way:
Their patrons might feed and clothe
their own families and let the drink
seller suffer want, instead Of feeding
and clothing the saloon-keeper's fam
lily and letting his own suffer for want
of the necessaries of life. But when
a man puts an enemy into his mouth
to steal away his brains, it generally
does so, and leaves him incapable OF
a sound judgment. AS the catechism
says of original sin: Drink darkens
the understanding and weakens the
WILL" In fact, it seems in many cases
to do more-ft destroys both.

FIRE IN FAMOUS CATHEDRAL
Altar i'm Palma Cathedral Destroyed
Cathedral Built i'm the Thirteenth
Century.

On September 8 the altar in the
San Bernardo Chapel in the Cathedral
of Palma, in the Island of Majorca,
was destroyed. The estimated loss is
about fifteen thousand dollars. The
Cathedral itself was saved by the
exertions of the crews i'm the gunboats
in the harbor.
The Cathedral at Palma is a fine
example of Gothic architecture. It
was erected and dedicated to the
Mother Of God by King James I. of
Aragon as he sailed to the conquest
of Majorca. It was founded i'm 1880
but was not completed until 1901.

DR.. Masaha of the DIVERSITY Of
Toxic, Japan, has just returned
to his native land from an extend
ed trip through Europe, where he
devoted much time to the study of
the different forms of Christianity.
In speaking of the Catholic
Church in his lectures at the Uni
versity he affirmed that she exer-
cises more authority than any
other religious organization, takes
more interest in the welfare of the
people, and adapts herself more
fully to the needs Of the different
countries. He expressed the be-
lief that the Catholic Church is
absolutely necessary for the prog
ress of civilization. Tt is not un-
likely that his attitude will do
much to advance the interests of
the Church in Japan, where there
are not wanting signs of an awak-
ening in her favor.

BEWARE OF ORIENTAL COL
LECTORS.

The Sacred Congregation de
Propaganda Eide has issued a
letter to the members Of the HER
archy calling attention to the
conditions under which priests
from Egypt, Persia, Syria, and
other Eastern lands are permitted
to solicit funds in Europe or
America for charitable or religi-
GUS purposes.
The Congregation has received
many inquiries in regard to
orientals who come to this coun-
try for the purpose Of soliciting
aims or contributions for some
ostensibly worthy purpose. Many
of these are priests. Others wear
the garb Of the priesthood as a
means Of imposing upon the pub
lie, and especially upon Catho-
lies. Warnings have been issued
from time to time against the lat
ter; and efforts have been made to
put an end to the imposition, but
without success. Many Of these
imposters, are able to pro-
duce letters which bear every in
dication Of being genuine. But
the possession Of even genuine
letters from eastern prelates is no
longer sufficient to authorize a
Bishop to allow men from east
ern lands, whether priests or not,
to seek contributions from the
faithful Of his diocese.
The letter Of the Sacred Congre-
cation to which we refer states
that no Bishop should allow an
oriental priest to collect in his do
cese unless he can show a recent
and authentic Rescript from the
Congregation de Propaganda Eide
permitting him to leave his own
diocese for the purpose Of solicit
ing contributions elsewhere. If
an Oriental priest, not provided
with such a letter, attempts to
collect money in any diocese the
Bishop should deprive him of the
faculties for saying Mass and per-
forming any other religious func-
ton; and if he has any doubt
about his standing he should re-
fer the matter to the Congrega-
ton. When the Bishop is satisfied
in regard to the credentials Of the
person who would collect in his
diocese he will, if he grants him
permission to do so, give him the
proper authorization for the pur-
pose. These precautions are tax
en- for the purpose Of guarding the
faithful against imposition on the
part of fake collectors from the
Orient.
Catholics, therefore, should give
no money to any collector, no mat
ter how praiseworthy the object
for which he solicits, unless he
can show a letter from the Bishop
Of the diocese granting him per-
mission to solicit contributions
from the faithful. All authorized
solicitors are provided with prop
er credentials, and if they refuse
to produce them when requested
to do so, it may be taken as a
sign that they r not what they
pretend to be. This warning is
given not for the purpose of max
ing Catholics tighten their purse
strings when legitimate appeals
are made to their generosity but
for the purpose Of putting them
ON their guard against unauthor7
lied collectors whose presence in
a community ought to be re-
ported to the ecclesiastical author
tiles il they profess to be col
lecting for some charitable or
religious purpose.

STONE TELLS OF BIG LAND DEAL

Washington, Aug. 3.--After a three
hour debate behind closed doors the
senate, 81 to 4, adopted the Lodge
resolution defining the attitude OF the
United States in disapProyal OF the ac-
QUESTION by foreign interests OF any
territory on the Western Hemisphere
which might be used as military or
naval bases or menace the ap-
proaches" of this country.
Before the senate had proceeded far
with the resolution, discussion began
to touch so close to government Sc
crets that the doors we're closed and
consideration went on in executive
session.
In the Interest Of Peace.
Senator Lodge, calling up the reso-
luton. which is framed to record the
disapproval with which the United
States would view the acquisition BY
foreign interests OF property which
might become military or naval bases,
declared that its passage was in the
interest Of peace.
Senator Cummins warned the gov
eminent from taking q position from
which it might be compelled to recede
with chargin and humiliation.
Mr.. Stone called for more informa-s
ton and thereupon Senator Root
moved that the senate consider the
resolution behind closed doors and an
stones Talk Sensational.
One Of the negative votes on the
resolution was cast by Senator Stone
Of Missouri. In sensational speech
delivered in executive session he de-
clared that the Japanese scare grow
ing out OF the Magdalena bay matter
had been manufactured to aid private
American interests in getting ccntrol
of an immensely valuable agricultural,
mining and fishing concession.
Senator stone took the position that
the adoption of the Lodge resolution
would probably kill the chances OF
one set of interests, which have been
trying to purchase the concession, and
leave the bidding open 70 another
set. He thought the result would en-
able the latter to get the property
much more cheaply.
Doubts Japan's interest.
He did not think Japanese effort
to colonize in Mexico, and establish a
naval base there, was involved at all.
Stone submitted facts leading him
to believe that another group of men,
all of whom are Americans, have come
to realize the tremendous values at
stake. He said he had talked with
experts who had been at Magdalena
bay, and who say that land now rated
at few cents an acre can be made
worth $3.50 an acre at no great ex-
pense, by irrigation.
