INDULGENCES.
Essentials That Are Neces-
sary and Their
Benefit.

Many people have a rather vague
idea OF the Catholic doctrine of
indulgences and remission of sins.
For instance the following item was
published recently: at was an
nounced Saturday that plenary in
diligence in the remission of sins
will be granted all Catholics who
have attended the evening hours OF
devotion during the Eucharistic
Congress, who take communion,
who attend the services Sunday
afternoon and receive the Papal
benediction and who utter formal
prayer for the Pope. To receive
plenary indulgence all four of these
requirements must be fulfilled"
Now as a matter of fact the church
teaches that sins are forgiven only
through the sacrament of penance,
when that sacrament is available to
the penitent, or by an act of perfect
contrition, when confession to
duly authorized priest is impossible.
The essentials of the worthy recep-
ton of the sacrament are a careful
examination of conscience. a hearty
sorrow for sins committed a firm
purpose never again to offend God,
confession to a duly authorized
priest. and the performance of the
penance imposed by the confessor.
When these essentials are complied
with the guilt Of sin and the eternal
punishment due to 1t are RENTED:
there remains, however, the debt of
temporal punishment to be dis
charged. A similar result follows
an act of perfect contrition in case
sacramento confession be impossi-
BILE. An indulgence is the remission
OF the temporal punishment due to
sin, and is obtained by the perform
ance while in a state of grace of
certain good works enjoined by the
church. Indulgences are either
plenary, remitting all the punish
ment, or they are partial, when only
a portion is RENTED. The infinite
merits of our Lord and the works
of superogation performed by the
saints have created an immense
surplus in the treasury of the
church; and an indulgence is simply
a draft on that surplus, drawn by
the Pope in favor of the person
gaining it. The Pope makes the
draft by virtue of his office as the
of st. Peter, to whom
Christ said: Whatsoever thou shalt
loose on earth, it shall be loosed in
heaven"

Catholics will learn with pleasure

BANKS MAY BE ELECTED TO
OFFICE BY DULUTH UNIONS

Some of the Duluth unions are
thinking of naming the bank at which
their business is done as treasurer.
It seems that it is hard for working
men to get the bonds which are re-
quired to hold position of this kind.
This does not mean that working
men are considered dishonest in any
way or any of the men acting as treas
urer of their union have proven I'M
faithful to their trust. It Simply means
that each time the union elects a new
treasurer, he is, Of course, forced to
get bonds and it many times results
in delay and inconvenience.
In some of the eastern states a
movement started some months ago to
make the bank the permanent treas
urer of the union. The bank is re-
elected from year to year and the
business is handled in this way. The
opposition invilves quite a lot Of work
and no one is ever very keen about
accepting it. If it can be thrown on
the bank, the union is relieved of the
exepnse of bonding a person from
year to year and this is one item of
expense eliminated.
The bonding companies are becom-
ing more and more strict. The
bonded men are placed under a great
many restrictions and a great many
of the men holding positions object
to them when they are but doing their
union favor by serving the members.
The system of having the bank act
as treasurer is said to work finely
where it has been tried in several
places in the east. 49,, :..

The great pyramid of Gaziah is

WOULD INCREASE PAY
OF CITY EMPOYES

Down in Minneapolis a city alder
man introduced an ordinance in the
council which asks that the wages Of
city employees be increased from
$2.25 to $2.40 per day.
Alderman Hoar was the father Of
the ordinance and it is stated that it
has fair chance of being passed for
lit is recognized that with the in
creased cost of living. the working
man is having a hard fl It for exist
ence.
What is true in Minneapolis is true
in Duluth, only little more so. In
the Zenith City many honest working
men with families dependent upon
them for support are doing their best
to exc out an existence on small
wages.
Now that we have a Socialist alder
man in the city council it is very prob
able that he will be always on the
watch to better the condition of his
fellow man. An ordinance of this kind
in the local council would not be
amiss. The city can afford to pay
good wages for work and slight in
crease in pay would bring joy to the
hearts of those working at day labor
for Duluth.
A number of Minneapolis aldermen
proposed ordinance and workingmen
generally are hoping that success will
crown Alderman's Hoar's efforts.

CONTRACT SYSTEM At
LAST over IN OHIO
State Board Of Administration
Gives Companies Notice to Va

Pleaded to Public That Prison In
mates Would Go Crazy Un-
less Regularly Employed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 15.-The
Ohio board of administration has
given notice to the E. B. Landman
company and the Columbus Bolt
Works to vacate the state peniten-
tiary not later than April Is.
Thus the contract system comes to
and end in the state penal institptions
Here is a striking instance of the
way In which prison contractors in
collision with boards of control and
prison officials friendly to them can
continue the ubiquitous contract sys-
tenn in violation of the law.
In 1905 the legislature was favor
able to bill introduced by Represent
tative Wertz for the abolition of the
contract system. Then existing con-
tracts had only year longer to run.
Seeing that the bill would pass, the
board of control and the contractors
cancelled the existing contracts and
entered into new ones for as long a.
term as the law would permit, five
years.
The bill was enacted, but the con-
tracts could not be abrogated, thus
continuing them until 1910. Even
then, the contractors were allowed
to operate on the plea that they had
unfinished material.
Then the press service of the con-
tractors sent statements broadcast
that If the convicts were not employ
ed they would go insane.
This story was exposed by one of
the press agencies and the Ohio Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Finally the board
of control was abolished by law and
a new board of administration, free
from the influences of the contrac-
tors, was appointed.
Thus for this long period, after the
enactment of the law abolishing the
system, the last contractor will have
taken his departure from the peni-

STRIKES COST ENGLISH -
MANY DAYS OF WORK

LONDON, Feb. 15.-One of the
most prominent feature in labor Cir
cles last year. was the number of
strikes which prevailed:
In the coal mining industries en-
ployment was very good on the whole
the engineering trade was very good.
From statistics available from the
board Of trade, it Is reported that the
workmen lost 1o,250,000 days.
There were S64 trade. disputes in
volving, directly and Indirectly, $751;
$50 workmen. The stoppages Of work
exceed. the average for the past ten
years.
There is nothing strange in this
greater activity, from the fact that
workmen realize that they stand a
greater chance of raising their wages
and shortening their hours when
work is good than when it is not, and
this has been the reason why the
English workmen have entered these
contests.
