A VANISHED LEGACY.

On the death of Cardinal Fisch-
err, Archbishop of Cologne, it was
announced in the public press
that the Holy Father would re-
ceive from his estate legacy of
about two hundred and thirty
eight thousand dollars. The an
nouncement was taken with a
large grain of salt by the Catholic
press, and the papers that chron-
icled it expressed doubts as to its
accuracy. Those who knew
Cardinal Fischer ridiculed the
idea Of his dying possessed Of such
vast sum. He came of a poor
family and whatever money he
possessed, over and above what
was required for his needs, he
gave in charity with lavish hand
during his lifetime.
For the benefit Of those who may
still be inclined to believe the story
of his vast wealth, as indicated by
this imaginary gift to the Pope
it may be well to reproduce that
portion of his will in which he
makes his requests: "Praised be
Jesus Christ! This is my last will
By the grace of God I have not
accumulated any goods Of this
world. My heart was not at
tached to the dust Of earth. I be
queath the little I shall leave tc
my sister, Mary. She will,
know, use it according to my in
tentions. " 80
The remainder Of the will ex
presses the hope that God may be
merciful to his soul and requests
the people of his Archdiocese tx
pray for his eternal repose. Thus
the Holy Father loses a vas
legacy bequeathed to him by the
fertile imagination of a European
correspondent, and Carolina
Fischer is absolved of the unpar
donable crime of dying rich!

CAN ANYTHING BE DONE?

People often ask why it is that
newspapers, pamphlets and leaf
let's containing malicious lies and
slanderous statements in regard
to Catholics and the Catholic
Church cannot be debarred from
circulation through the mails.
They think that the officials of the
postal department are to blame
because of the facility with which
publications of this kind secure
the mailing privileges accorded
reputable ones. It seems, how
ever, that as long as these publica-
tions, no matter how vile they
may be, confne themselves to gen
eral criticism, even of the most
offensive nature, they cannot be
denied the privileges Of the mail
It is only when they render them
selves liable to criminal action on
account Of the personal nature of
their scurrilous attacks that the
postal authorities can exclude
them from the mails.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that the National Sec
rotary of the Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies took this matter up
with the Postmaster General, Hon
orable Frank H. Hitchcock, who,
under date of March %, 1912,
writes as follows:
"I have to inform you that
there is no provision of law under
which newspapers, or other pub
locations, containing violent criti-
cisms of any particular religious
faith, may be excluded from the
mails, unless such criticism takes
the form of personal SANDER
scurrility or obscenity, in which
case the publisher becomes amen
able to the criminal laws of the
United States and may be fined or

SHADES OF BARNUM!

One Of the candidates for an
important municipal office in Min
neapolis declares, in a paid ad-
vertisement, that he is a member
Of the Elks, Odd Fellows, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, the Wood
men, the Knights Of Columbus
and the Knights Of Pythias. The
combination is an unusual one.
Evidently he is 'jiner'' who finds
it good politics to fraternize with
his fellowmen Of all creeds and
nationalities. Presumably, he is
in good standing in all these So
cieties; else why faunt the flag
Of fraternalism in such public
manner?
1t would be interesting to know
just what the religious affiliations
Of this candidate are. Is he a
Protestant? IF so, how did he
get into the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians and the Knights Of
Columbus? IF he is a Catholic,
how is it that he can belong to
these organizations and make pub
lie confession of his membership
in the Odd Fellows and the
Knights Of Pythias-two secret
societies which the Catholic
Church has, by name, condemned {?
He cannot be a consistent mem
Der Of all these orders. We ask,
therefore, in the words Of the cele-
brated Barnum: "What is it,"
We have heard it said that "poli-
tics makes strange bed fellows"
but this is certainly very unique
combination from the religious
point of view. From the fact that
he proclaims his affiliation with
two Catholic societies which make
practical Catholicity a requisite
for membership, we are inclined
to think that he has, at least, a
leaning towards the Church. But
how did he get into these organi-
cations, or how is he allowed to
remain in them with the tags of
Oddfellowship and Pythianism so
prominently displayed? A Cath
Ollie who tries to carry water on
both shoulders for the purpose of
securing political preferment
should be relegated to obscurity
and not allowed to pose as a rep
resentative Catholic in official life

imprisoned, or both, and his pub
LEGATION debarred from the mails.
1t is not probable that under our
Federal Constitution, which pro-
hibits interferences with religious
opinion in any way, law could
be passed restraining criticisms Of
religious faiths. .
The Third Assistant Postmaster
General, Honorable James J..
Britt, wrote to the Federation in
a similar vein. When asked what
words could be added to the law
as it now stands So as to exclude
from the mails papers, ETC., that
make it a practice to SANDER and
defame the leaders of the Catholic
Church he replied:
"While such a policy on the
part Of any portion Of the public
press is to be deplored, neverthe-
less, since your request involves a
matter which is peculiarly within
the province of the legislative
branch Of the Government, I do
not feel at liberty to make any
suggestions as to the legislative
policy to be pursued. Your Sena-
tors and Representatives in Con-
gress would, no doubt, give care
full consideration to your request. !"
From the above communications
it appears that no law could be
enacted under the Federal Consti-
tuition to stop the circulation of
papers, ETC., containing general
violent criticisms of any particu-
lar faith, but if such criticisms
take the form Of personal SLAM
ders, scurrility or obscenity, then
the publisher becomes amenable
to the criminal laws Of the United
States.

FOSTERING VOCATIONS FOR
THE PRIESTHOOD.

There are many ways OF foster
ing religious vocations. Parents
who have sons and daughters cap
able Of embracing the religious
state should, at least, place no
obstacle in their way, even though
they may not show any great zeal
in forwarding their aspirations for
the higher life. There are few
Catholic parents who do not re-
joice at the prospect Of having a
priest in the family. It is a priv
lege for which they are deeply
grateful to Almighty God. Not
unfrequently they are envied by
their less-favored neighbors to
whom God has given no sons to be
dedicated to His service, or whose
sons show no inclination to enter
the ranks of the priesthood.
But even though Catholic
parents have no sons Of their own
to educate for the priesthood they
are not thereby absolved from
all responsibility in this regard.
They can and should help to edu-
cate others for this exalted calling.
The usual way in which this is
done is to contribute, each one
according to his means, to the
fund established in every diocese
for the support Of the seminary in
which young levites are formed
for a priestly career. The stu
dents destined to labor In the
ranks of the priesthood in any do
cese are preparing to minister to
the spiritual needs of its Catholic
population, and hence it is the
bounden duty of those who profit,
directly or Indirectly, by their

At the Convention of the Cen
trail Verein held last week at To-
ledo it, was decided to establish
a home for social studies in which
members of the clergy and of the
laity would be trained to forward
the program Of social reform car
ried on by the society and to op-
pose every propaganda inimical
to Catholic interests. For this
purpose one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars is to be ex-
pended in the purchase of a site
and the erection of suitable
building, probably in the vicinity
of the Catholic University. This
project is in furtherance Of the
educational campaign along the
lines of social reform which the
Central-Verein has been carrying
on by means of summer school
courses in different parts of the
country.
It was also proposed, though
not definitely decided upon, to
establish a popular weekly news
paper under the auspices Of the
Verein. The present monthly pub
lication is written for students of
economic problems and does not
appeal to the ordinary individual.

The Register-G General for Ire
land published his report recently.
One passage will be read with
general interest. ''It is matter
for congratulation," he says,
"that the decrease in population
during the period 19O1-1l was
only II per cent, as compared
with a decrease Of So per cent.
in the preceding decennial period.
A tabulated return shows that
during last year the births in Ire
land numbered 101, 758, and the
deaths 72,475, giving natural
increase of population of 1928,
whilst the number of emigrants
was 30,573, leaving a net reduc-
ton in population of 1890"
