One of the most daring robberies

when the postoffice was broken in

rugs. ii is supposed to kill the SOUND
OF the explosion. The stamps from
the post Office were In the vault OF
the county treasurer's Office on the
floor above. where was also $4,000
In money.
IL is supposed that the Office was
robbed about o'clock and the rob-
berry was not discovered until the
time for opening this morning. Z

yeggs is a small pocket knife, COW

After the robbery the men went to

other things less harmless made up
the usual routine on such occa-
sions.
Happily, a change has taken
place Of late years in the manner
Of celebrating ST. Patrick's day.
The more thoughtful men in the
ranks Of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and other Irish socie-
ties have begun to realize that any
celebration Of St. Patrick's day
which gives scandal to others
ought to be eliminated and, con-
sequently, the parade and other
features have been omitted wher-
ever fears were entertained that
they would not prove edifying
For this all people of Irish descent
are grateful.
No parade Of Irishmen should be
permitted on st. Patrick's day
that does not first lead to the altar
rail; and if President Regain sue
ceeds in making the reception of
Holy Communion in body the
predominant feature of St. Pat
rick's day celebrations in future
he will have earned the gratitude
not only Of every loyal descendant
Of the old land but also Of all
right-thinking men, irrespective OF
nationality. 1t is to be hoped
therefore, that the Ancient Order
of Hibernians throughout America
will avail itself Of this opportunity
to inaugurate the only Catholic
way of concentrating the day
which is so dear to every Irish
heart.
1t is pleasing to note that the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and
the Ladies Auxiliary of Ramsey
County and of Hennepin County
have made arrangements tc
receive Holy Communion in a body
on next Sunday. The former viii
be present in the Cathedral at the
eight o'clock Mass which has beer

latter will attend the Church Of st
Thomas in Minneapolis. Let thu

A REVIVAL OF A. P. A.-ISM?.

We can scarcely credit the dis
patch from Washington that ap-
peared in the press during the past
week which says that Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles, u. s. A.,
retired, is one of the leading lights
of an organization called "Guar-
dians of Liberty, " recently sprung
into being. The aim and object Of
the order will be to prevent, as far
as it's members can, the election to
public Office, state or national, of
Roman Catholics. -
= General Miles has had dis
tinguished and honorable career
up the present, and we would not
like to see the evening of his life
overshadowed with the dark cloud
of bigoted and. unjustifiable oppo-
sition to the legitimate civic rights
of his Catholic fellow countrymen.
He must know enough about the
history of the United States to be
aware Of the fact that Catholics
have done their share in the found
ing and development of the Re
public, and that their loyalty to
it's cherished institutions has been
proved by the shedding of their
heart s blood on many a hard
fought battlefield, as well as by
their conscientious performance of
the highest duties Of American
citizenship. For the sake of the
Generals reputation we hope the
report is not true. A reputation
by him Of all connection with the
"Guardians Of Liberty if such
an organization has come into
existence, is now in order.

To protect it will call into opera

Sunday in order that he may reach

EDLCT OF MILAN
Preparation>Made for the Commemora-
ton of the Sixteenth Centenary of
the Edict OF Constantine Giving
Church Liberty-officers of Superior
Council Appointed.

In few months will occur the six
teenth centenary of the publication of
the Edict of Milan by which the Ro-
man Emperor, Constantine the Great,
after winning the battle at the Mil
Wan Bridge outside the walls of Rome,
recognized the liberty and indepen-
dence which belonged to the Church by
divine right.
1t has been suggested that the event
be. commemorated in Rome and
throughout the world. The initiative
came from the Association of the Holy
Cross and received the warm approba-
ton of His Holiness the Pope His
Eminence Cardinal Merry del Val, Sec
rotary of State, has issued letter to
Cardinal Cassetta, Bishop of Frascati,
in the name of the Holy Father in
which suggestions are made for max
ing the festivities worthy of the event
which is to be celebrated. His Holt
ness desires that the program be
placed in charge of a Superior Council
composed of well-known Catholics un-
der the presidency of Prince Don
Mario Chigi. The Papal Secretary of
State names the officials of this Coun-
Gil and places it under the protection
of Cardinal Cassetta.
1t has not been determined what
form the celebration of this anniver-
sary of the Peace of Constantine will
take; but it has been suggested that
it would be fitting to commemorate
the victory won by Constantine over
Maxentius by the erection of a church
to Christ the Eternal Victor beside the
Milvian Bridge, two miles from the
Flaminian Gate, where the battle took
place.
AS this event is of interest to the
Universal Church it is expected that
all nations will unite in some BETTING
celebration of it's sixteenth centenary.

The state of New Jersey has set
an example which might, with
profit, be initiated by other states.
Governor Woodrow Wilson re-
Gently signed the Martin bill
passed by the Legislature prohibit
ing Justices of the Peace from per-
forming marriages within the
state. The movement was led by
Catholics and many non-Catholic
clergymen urged their people to
impress upon their representatives
in the Legislature the necessity of
favorable action.
1t would be well if similar
step were taken by other states.
No one would regret the passing
Of the marrying squires. They
should never have been intrusted
with such duties and there can be
no doubt that many couples were
led to contract hasty and i'll
advised marriages by the facility
with which they could have
recourse to these squires. Every
movement that safeguards the
sacred character Of the marriage
bond and surrounds the ceremony
with greater solemnity is a step in
the right direction. There would
be fewer divorces and less marital
scandal if the laws relating to
marriage were more strict, Or even
if the laws now on the statute
books were more rigidly enforced.

A writer in the New York Sun
does not hesitate to declare that
"were it not for the Catholic
Church in New York City life
would not be worth living. It does
infinitely more than any other one
agency to preserve law and order,
and to bring contentment into the
lives Of the people. -
And yet there are among us
those who regard the Catholic
Church as the arch-enemy of the
Republic and who would debar
her citizens from their just rights
on purely religious grounds. They
seek to thwart her benefcent
designs and to lessen her influence
for good. In this warfare they are
fighting the Church, not as she is,
but as their biased imaginations
picture her Catholics, however,
need have no fear that the puny
efforts of the foes of the Church
will ever cause more than a ripple
on the great ocean of life across
which the Bark of Peter sails in
safety under the guiding hand OF
her divine Master.
