Drunk; Murders Father

A seventeen year-old boy killed his father in
Chicago last week shot him down in cold blood
The boy was not criminal at heart didn't have
police record-he was drunk. He is resident of
city that fosters regulated saloons something
1000 Of them. The liquor which made him murderer
was sold under license.
The license advocates tell us that the way to make
strong, manly of our boys is not to remove the
temptation, but teach them self-control This boy
murderer's home is in Kensngton where saloons
numbered by the hundreds, yet contrary to the saloon
lists doctrine he became intoxicated in spite of this
fact, and is murderer, patrcide. He killed his
father being refused So which he had demanded
with which to continue his spree.
Who dispute the saloons responsibility in this
tragedy?

They announced that they would return the saloons
to the state within two years. There, as elsewhere
they posed the Manufacturers and Business Mems
Association, and boosted of local organizations
Kansas folks call them "Malefactors and Boozness

failed utterly Temperance sentiment is strong
it was when the brewers made their boast Failing
to stampede Kansas voters the Manufacturers and

the state and have declared themselves defeated,

Licensed Saloon or Licensed Den of Thieves
Which is Worse?

This is for the voter who thinks he honestly
We ask his calm and honest consideration of the
proposition to whether it is worse to license
looms to license den of thieves.
There is lot of superficial thinking done by men
who favor the saloons. They do not go to the bottom
of the saloon question They influenced by some
random statement about personal liberty they
blinded by the which proceeds from the
drinking places. Let quietly and deliberately con-
slider the facts of the proposition discussing.
If thief were licensed it would give him legal
right to go into mans house and steal his personal
property money, furniture and clothing. He might
steal every bit of property the had, but he would
still leave the his life his brain clear and
capable and his body healthy and complete as be-
fore. He would leave the individual in position to
pursue his daily labors and perform his usual func-
tons in the proper way. He would leave to him the
love of his wife and children much he had
it. and his ability provide for them and protect them
But with the saloon it is different. What happens
when the saloon is licensed? 1t robs the working
of his wages, and robs the wife and children of love
and care and protection Robs them all of household

sary to procure the comforts of life The clothing,

papers quoted on our list, copy of
which we enclose. In reply we
refer you to our letter Of February
IA, 1912, in which we have stated to
you that we cannot accept your copy
attacking the Roman Catholic
Church. Our letter of the 14th,
gave you full and complete reasons
for refusing to run the copy which
attacked sister church. We
requested you in that letter to have
the copy changed so as to make it
suitable for us to run in the religious
papers. We notice that you have
sent out exactly the same copy to
the papers, and consequently we are
again writing to you that we cannot
run this copy. Should you see your
way clear to revise the copy cutting
out the middle line we would be very
glad, indeed, to handle your order
for the publications of our list In
the meantime it would be best for
you to address your future CORE
spondence in regard to this matter
direct to US instead Of to the publ
cations in order to avoid delay
These publications are under con-
tract with us to forward to US all

tice, not mercy, holds the balance,
when we recall st. Peters thrilling
question: eff the just shall hardly
be saved, how shall it be with sin
ners?" and when we consider that
even the Saints, after long and
severe penances for slight faults,
trembled before and feared the
severity Of Gods judgments, we may
justly conclude that the pains of
purgatory are of longer duration
than is sometimes imagined. There
fore, we should hasten generously to
the help Of the poor souls and con-
tinue our prayers for them until
death bids us depart hence
Again, even in life and health
there is no better way Of providing
for the future than by becoming
members Of this Purgatorial Society.
Do not depend upon those whom you
may leave after you. Be sure that
you will not be forgotten after death
by becoming a Perpetual Member of
the Society at once. Five thousand
five hundred Masses will be read
each year for the living or dead

AS TO CARDINALS.

Marconi Wireless Despatch to The
Sun.
Rome, via Glace Bay, March 21st.
Major Archibald Butt, aide-de-
camp to President Taft, accompanied
by Bishop Kennedy, rector of the
American College here, had an audi
ence with the Pope today, and pre-
scented letter from President Taft
thanking the Pontiff for the creation
of three new American cardinals.
The president wrote that this action
was acceptable to Americans ire
spective OF their faith as Catholicism
contributes to the welfare of the
country.
Well, WELT Surprising ali that is
true, who is our President Speaking
for?
Not altogether for US, certainly.
It is not as our President that he
sends his aide to thank the Holy
Father for making some American
cardinals. No doubt it was sensible
for the good Pope to do it, but it is
not a matter that concerns more
than a fraction of the people of the
OH1ICu pCdISS, nOI OIlc, do w = sec IL,
that our President was in any way
called upon to return our thanks
for.
1t is true enough that the appoint
ment of the American cardinals was
generally acceptable. There is no
objection to American cardinals if
they behave as Cardinal Gibbons has
behaved this long time. His red hat
has. never made the least trouble, so
far as we ever heard. These new
hats that have come may not be so
unobtrusive.r Our. Roman Catholic
brethren seemed to be extremely
pleased at their coming, and to feel
somehow that rank had been con-
ferred on their church. They
seemed to feel that the gentlemen,
previously archbishops, who :. had
been promoted, are greater men, and
should be generally recognized as

greater men, since they received this
new mark Of papal appreciation. The
story came from Boston the other
day that Cardinal O'Connell, being
invited to a public dinner, replied
that if he went he must sit on the
chairman's right, since his rank as
a prince of the Church entitled him
to the seat of honor, and he could
not consent to yield it to the Cover
nor Of Massachusetts.
That was extraordinary, wasn't it?
II the story is true, it is to condole
with Cardinal O'Connell for attain
ing so announcement an altitude,
which will compel him to decline
dinners at which the Governor of
Massachusetts, will be present-Har-

Here's the circular:
Please Read This Carefully.
st. Vincent's Purgatorial Society
For the Living and the Dead
Perpetual Membership
Ten Dollars.
With the kind permission of The
Rt./ Rev. Charles e. Mcdonnell, d. D.,
Bishop of the Diocese Of Brooklyn,
the Perpetual Membership fee in St.
Vincent's Purgatorial Society has
been reduced to ten dollars
This means that all who become
members of our Purgatorial Society,
whether living or dead, and having
paid the sum Of ten dollars, will
have read for them each year Five
Thousand Five Hundred and Eight
Masses. In other words, they will
share in all the Masses and other
spiritual benefits as long as this
Society shall last.
Those not in a position to pay the
amount of ten dollars in cash may
make weekly Or monthly payments
to suit their own convenience.
Surely, there is no better way to
remember our departed friends and
relations than by enrolling them in
this ,Purgatorial Society. cit is a
holy and wholesome thought to pray
for the dead, that they may be 1oosed
from their sins" We should not
forget the dead; in life they were
good and true to us; let us remem-
Der them, now that the hand Of God
has touched them. We should not
turn g. deaf ear to their cry. Chris
tian charity obliges us to hear and
help. them. They are indeed sepa-
rated from US by the dark river OF
death, but they have never ceased
to be our brethren, members OF that
mystical body to which we ali
belong, and whose head is Jesus
Christ Himself Is it possible for
one limb or member Of our BODIES
to suffer and the others to remain
Indifferent? The Apostle says: II
one member suffers, do not the 9TH
ers too?" Consequently it is the
very essence of Christianity to help
the departed. Should we not be
moved to help those who proved
themselves our benefactors. instruct
ing us, leading us into the way OF
salvation, keeping us from tempta-
lions, and perhaps remembering us
in their wills?
Would we not be guilty OF the
greatest indifference and deepest
ineratitude were we to forget them
now in their sorest need, or refuse
them our aid? Would we not
deserve to have hurled at us the ter
rible prophesy and reproach OF the
Book. of Ecclesiasticus, ga hard
heart shall fare evil at the last?'
We cannot say that because our
friends or relatives have been dead
IA long time they do not need our
assistance. Nothing definite is known
as to the longer or shorter duration
of purgatorial pains, We do know
this that-ethey are proportioned to
the purity of heart wherewith the
deceased appears before the judg-
ment seat Of God-proportioned to
the amount of penance done while
on earth; proportional to the help
given after death =by@those still left
behind. But when we reflect that

which is set for hearing Monday morn

ground that II has been shown that the
