The st. Aloysius Truth Society
Of Washington, D. c., has set a
good example for other societies
to follow. It has been very active
in suppressing the sale of objec-
tiOnable post cards. It's members
visit the stores where cards are
exposed for sale and when any
offensive pictures are found the
proprietor is requested to with
draw them from circulation. One
shopkeeper who refused to COM
ply with their request was prompt
ly brought to time when the
society asked the district attorney
to prosecute him. He did not wait
for any further evidence of the
sOciety's intention to force him to
comply with the law. Rather than
pay a fine Of fifty dollars he with
drew the suggestive cards. Other
Catholic societies might make this
part of their work and stop the
sale of improper cards and publ
cations.

THE RED FLAG.

An engineer gave his little girl a
small red flag to play with, and ex-
planned that on the road the red flag
signifies danger. would you stop

track? /" she asked. "Yes." he said.
cor there might be an accident"
After her papa had left. the little one
found her mama crying. why are you
crying, mama?" she asked. The mother
gave no answer. But as the child
saw the decanter on the sideboard, she
said: lis it because papa drank some
OF that nasty brandy before he went
to work." yes, dear, you see he Id
getting worse, and will surely lose his
place. He thinks the people do not
notice, but they must notice 1t. And
he will, / fear, completely wreck his
life."
The child did not forget her moth
er's worry. All day long she thought
OF what she might do to help, and at
last she thought OF the red flag, and
what her papa had told her It stands
for. Going to the sideboard, she firm
.ly fastened the flag to the decanter,
and then went to bed satisfied. The
father came home, went TO the side
board for the usual nightcap, but saw
the flag, and understood and needed
the warning.

greater powers and keener percep-

nature yields her precious secrets
more readily and the spirit of man
asserts its mastery over the phys

distant when the very planet
which gave him birth will tremble
at the sound of his voice; he will
make the sun his slave, harness the
inexhaustible and terribly intense
energy of microcosmic move

PREDETERMINED forms; he will draw
the mighty ocean from its bed,
transport it through the air and
create lakes and rivers at will he
will command the wild elements;

THE LATIN TON j {

Mr.. r. A. Cram, Of Boston, though

tense of the use of Latin in public wor-

manifestation of the reaction which 10
undoing the mischief of the sixteenth
century:
The effort to make of religion a
purely rational thing, intellectually ex-
pressible and intellectually compre-
hensible, has met with Indifferent sue
cess, and the nemesis of denial is hot
on the trail. We who have heard the
noble and sonorous Latin Of the choir
offices at Chadley, chanted in the dusk
to the Gregorian mode after the
method of Schemes, know that therein
is something of wonder and mystery
and transcendence that are as con-
sonant of religion as the keen mental
appeal OF services in our own tongue.
4. Words and language are more
than the small change of thought they
have in the beginning, and acquire
without ceasing, certain spiritual
significance and dynamic power of
spiritual suggestion; they become evo-
cative as we'll as expressive; moreover,
an idea of emotion voiced in one lam
guage can never be adequately trans
lated into another, and many of the
noblest thoughts and aspirations OF
man have been expressed in the Latin
tongue"

CARDINAL ANNETTE ON THE
CATHOLIC PRESS.

The special Lenten charge of the
Cardinal Archbishop of Paris to
his flock is that each family take
at least one Catholic paper and
when they have read it pass it on
to others. His Eminence declares
that the world takes it's ideas.
manners and laws from the press,
and when the press is anti-Cath-
Ollie or irreligious it works almost
irreparable harm to the CON-
munity. He calls attention to the
widespread influence Of what he
characterizes as 'sthe bad press. -
In Paris alone for every million
copies of good papers put into cir
cu1ation four millions of bad ones
are distributed.
1t is the bounden duty of Cath
olics, he says, to support those
papers which, in matters of doc
trine, are guided by the light of
revelation as preserved in the
Church and whose practical rule
of conduct is the moral law which
was engraven on the human con-
science in the beginning and, later
on, was restored to its original
lustre by Christianity.
Besides the publications which
proudly hold aloft the banner of
the cross there are those that are
worthy of Catholic patronage by

John Mitchell, the great labor leader.
tremendous revolution has taken
place In our country, both i'm the
moral and industrial standards of our
people. Especially was this marked
in the temperance question. About a
decade ago the men of the western
mining town drank, gambled and
spent a great deal of their leisure
time in questionable concert halls
and considered the man who did not
SISSY" But this has all changed.
The excessive drinking was then not
regarded as immoral, but today the
man who drinks to excess is not re-
garded by his employer as the proper
person to hold responsible position.
| myself have been favored by tenn
perate habits, but would consider my
self more favored had for the past
twenty-five years, been a member of
the Father Mathew Society, for it
works towards good in many ways.
1t strengthens mans will. although
1t is not always the strong willed man
that is the temperance man. Tenn
perance or intemperance is a question
of appetite. A strong man is con-
trolled by his appetite as well as
weak one, and sometimes the weak
man is as capable of taking a drink
and then leaving liquor alone as his
stronger fellowman. But as a matter
of fact the men who think they can
take drink and then stop, end as
drunkards.
Now word to the women. Before
you accept a mans offer of marriage
ask him and make sure that he ia
temperate, if not, refuse him. Also,
question him as to his earning ability,
for there is more truth than poetry in
the adage, when poverty comes in
love goes out" and you women are
entitled to consider the money ques-
ton, for it is you who bear the heav-
lest burden after marriage. Bear in
mind the connection of the temper
ance and labor movements, for the
temperate man is always among those
well paid, while the other very often
is not.
Honor to temperance leaders Fran

uplift of our country than anyone.

I am against the saloon because

On pay day the saloon keepers are
like tigers. My men enter their re-
sorts with their wages, and often
leave with nothing, and then it falls
on the wife to pacify the storekeeper
on the non-payment of the bills and
the family is left practically desti-

SCIENCE AND TEMPERANCE.

Science is a great force that is
furthering the cause of temperance,
and, it may be turned to advantage
by the priest. Modern scientific
knowledge is gradually overthrowing
all the old superstitions about the
almighty power of alcohol. Periodi-
Gals such the Scientific Temperance
Journal >(Boston), school text books
on Physiology and Hygiene, school
magazines, and the higher periodicals
in general, are popularizing the con-
illusions of science as to the real eff
fects of alcohol.
The up-to-date priest will keep in
touch with this knowledge to a GER
tain extent and give his people the
benefit of it, especially in his talks to
the parish societies and to the chill
dren. We have special duty to the
children in this matter. We have
taken them away from schools where
the evil of intoxicants Is usually in
sisted upon, if from no other motive
than human decency and the love of
natural virtue. Our own school cur
riculum calls for instruction on this
subject equally If not more thorough,
and it is up to the priests to see that
the children get it. If they do receive
it we shall confer an immense benefit
on the church and on morality by
clearing away from the mind OF the
rising generation all remnants OF the
old alcoholic heresies. And this 10
indeed consummation devoutly to
be wished. VI

CATHOLIC DEAF MUTES
Nearly 5000 in the United States and
Only 1850 Enrolled i'm Twelve
Catholic Schools.

Those who are engaged in Catholic
education will be interested in the off,
cial statistics of schools for deaf
mutes in the United States, just pub
lished by the American Annals of
the Deaf" Washington, d. c. There
in we find that only eleven dioceses
in the United States have made any
provision at all for the education of
deaf mute children. In these IL did,
ceses there are IL Catholic schools
with total enrolment of 1850 chill
dren. In four of these Catholic
schools, however, which are supported
by public funds, namely, two in New
York, one in Brooklyn and one in Buff
falo, there are 661 children enrolled,
leaving 238 deaf mute children being
educated under Catholic auspices
throughout the rest of the country.
There is only one Catholic school
for the Deaf west Of the Mississippi
river, nor is it to be found until the
Pacific Slope is reached at Oakland,
CAL, Notwithstanding the fact that In
this vast stretch of territory the
Catholic deaf mute population is four
times greater than in the State of
New York.
Outside the State of New York,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
there are only so teachers engaged i'm
instructing deaf mute children In
Catholic schools for the deaf. And
IL we except the State OF New York,
only $50 Catholic deaf mute children
are being educated in Catholic schools.
The remaining thousands are either
being educated In non-Catholic
schools, where their faith is being
stolen from them, or they are receiv-
ing no education at all.
In State institutions for the deaf the
doctrines of Professionalism seem to
form q part of the daily instruction.
and as a result some Of the most zeal
GUS Protestant ministers who are
working amongst deaf mutes In this
country today are children of Catho-
lie parents.
When we consider that careful sta
tistics indicate there are nearly 5000
Catholic deaf mutes in the United
States, and at least one-half OF them
are OF school age, the problem OF
Catholic deaf mute education assumes
an ASPECT OF seriousness.
