SOULS, NOT SOCIETY.

Some time ago a movement was
set on foot. among the army Chap
lains to secure for themselves uni
formity in the matter of dress and
insignia with the regular officers
of equal rank. The Chaplains
wish to be attired like their fell
low officers Of the same grade in
stead of wearing a uniform which
denotes that they are Chaplains,
According to the present regu-
lations the sChaplains wear a
black uniform with epaulets
marked with a cross, and the in
sigma Of the branch Of the service
to which they belong attached to
the collar.
We believe that the movement,
which is largely confined to non
Catholic Chaplains, is not step
in the right direction. No good
reason has been assigned for the
proposed change. Surely the
CnaplalnS are not ashamed to be
known as such? Their duties are
different from those Of other army
officers and there is no reason
why their official standing in the
service should not be indicated by
a distinctive garb. AS long as
they perform their duties with
honor to themselves and for the
welfare Of the soldiers in their
respective regiments, they need
not fear that the absence of elab-
crate decoration on their uniforms
will minimize the respect in which
they are held by officers and en-
listed men. It is not the uniform
which makes the officer; and a
Chaplain need not be weighted
down with tinsel and braid in or,
der to perform his official duties
intelligently. By all means let
the Chaplains continue to wear a
distinctive uniform and let them
banker after souls rather than
society.

SMOKE HIM OUT.

A few weeks ago. we called
attention to the fact that can
didate for an important municipal
Office in Minneapolis declared in
public statement that he was a
member of the Knights Of Pythias,
the Oddfellows, the Knights of
Columbus and the Ancient Order
of Hibernians. Every intelligent
Catholic knows that the Knights
of Pythias and the Oddfellows
are secret societies condemned by
the Church and that no Catholic
can publicly identify himself with
them and be a practical member
Of the Church.
Under these conditions, there
fore, it behooves the Knights Of
Columbus and the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians to take some action
to expel from their ranks an in
dividual who, for political rea-
sons, does not hesitate to avow
publicly his membership in soeie-
ties officially condemned by the
Church. They owe it to them
selves to rid their respective socie-
ties Of any member who is not a
practical Catholic; and they owe
it to the public to repudiate in no
uncertain manner the claim made
by this candidate to fellowship
with them.
We await with interest the &C
ton which the Knights Of Column
bus and the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians in our sister city will
take in this particular case. We
hope they will have the courage
of their convictions.

house will lay flowers and tiny pieces
of food on the "Batsudan'' or god
shelf devoted exclusively to the house
ancestor. Burning incense-sticks are
placed there at regular intervals to
demonstrate to the guardian spirits
that they are not forgotten. The
japanese, who have become Catholics,
find in the rich theology of the true
faith ample room for devotion to and
reverence for the dead. They may
not render Divine homage to the
spirits Of the Imperial ancestors; but
they can give expression to the truest
form of affection by doing that which
pagan Japan has been doing through
out the long centuries, with only a
vague and underlined feeling as to it's
true value. They can pray for those
who have gone before and in this way
develop and increase the first and
greatest of Christian virtues, charity.
They can keep in close communion
with them through that living bond of
faith which unites the Church Tri-
umphant, the Church Militant and the
Church Suffering.

Nth even a moments considera-

with even a moments considera-
ton.
Catholics have no need to boast
of their loyalty to the Republic.
They have proved it on many
bloody battle field, as well as in
the no less trying arena Of ma
tional life where they have always
upheld the standard of civic right
eousness. Catholics can be relied
upon at all times to do their duty
towards the State in accordance
with the dictates Of an enlightened
conscience which teaches them
that obedience to lawful authority
is commanded by God Himself and
enforced by the Church. All at
tempts to discredit their loyalty
as American citizens will prove
unavailing in view of their record
during the days Of the nation s
crises; and every intelligent stu
dent of present day conditions
knows full we'll that no Catholic,
faithful to the teachings Of his
Church, can be found among those
whose conduct or utterances are a
menace to the peace and stability
of the Republic.

DISTRIBUTING THE NEW
YORK POLICE.

People who have read the seri-
Gus charges made Of late against
the police department Of New
York may be inclined to think
that vice and corruption faint
every member Of the force. The
fact that one officer has been con-
victed Of terrible crime and that
others are likely to be called upon
to answer charges no less seri-
GUS, must not be regarded as suffi-
cient evidence on which to base
a wholesale condemnation of the
police force. However much one
may condemn the system Of graft
and protection that obtains in the
department, it is unfair to brand
all as corrupt.
According to the Holy Name
Journal, many Of the policemen
Of New York are faithful
members Of the Holy Name
Society. It cites the testimony of
Reverend Francis J. Sullivan,
Chaplain of the Police Depart
ment, in proof of the fact that the
majority Of the policemen Of New
York are entirely worthy Of the
confidence Of the public. 81 can
safely say" declares Father Sui
Ivan, that ninety per cent of
the policemen are excellent fell
lows and without stain, and that
the criticism Of the body has been
most unfair. You would be sur
prised to know how many Of them
are faithful to the Holy Name
Society and receive Holy Com
munion, not only for their Easter
duty, but many times through the
year, and many on the first Fri
day of every month";
It may be well to bear in mind
this testimony when we are tempt
ed to condemn the entire police
department Of New York on &C
count of the sins of a few.

THE CULTURE OF IRISH
CATHOLICISM.

In his new book, "The Lady
Next Door," Mr.. Harold Begbie,
a Protestant, dwells upon the
charming characteristics Of the
Irish people whom he found quite
different from what he had been
led to expect. elm Ireland" he
says, II came face to face with
this problem. In the South,
where Catholic influence is SUI
preme, the people are almost en-
chanting in their sweetness, en-
tirely admirable in the beauty and
contentment of their domestic
life, wonderful beyond all other
nations in the wholesomeness and
sanctity Of their chastity !.
Instead of lazy, thriftless, dis
contented people-as I had imag-
ined them to be-the Irish of the
South won my sympathy and com
PEELED my admiration by qualities
the very opposite. The
charm which every traveller feels
in the south Of Ireland is the char
acter Of the Irish people; and my
investigation has forced me to the
Judgment that this character is
the culture Of Irish Catholicism. =

tions such as buffet us, and in the
struggle for the preservation of
holiness and virtue they were vic
torious. The same faith which is
our portion sustained them in the
midst of the difficulties of life and
the same God Who rewarded their
fidelity watches over us. Their
example, therefore, should stimu-
late us to greater eXertion in the
spiritual life and enable us to
emulate their deeds of sanity
heroism, knowing that like re.
ward is laid up for us in heaven

THE LOYALTY OF CATHOLICS.

A leafet containing what pur-
ports to be the oath taken by the
Fourth Degree members Of the
Knights Of Columbus is being in
dustriously circulated throughout
the State for the purpose of prov
ing that the Knights of Columbus
and, by inference, Catholics in
general, cannot be loyal citizens or
trustworthy representatives of the
people in any official position.
There is nothing to indicate who
the author Of this bogus oath is
or where it is published. It is, un-
doubtedly, a campaign document
intended to injure Catholic candi-
dates for office, as well as to dis
credit mont Catholic candidates
who are supposed to be favorably
disposed towards Catholics.
1t is unnecessary to state that
the oath is clumsy fabrication
No sane person would ever dream
Of taking such an oath; and it is
difficult to imagine how any one,
endowed, with even a modicum of
common sense, could be guilty
of concocting it. A few, no
doubt, viii be Influenced by it,
because it is in line with their
preconceptions Of the Church and
their prejudices against Catho-
lies; but it makes no appeal to
any reasonable man, and no intel
ligent non-C Catholic will dignity it

CANADA A CATHOLIC
COUNTRY.

cit has become customary
when speaking Of Canada to refer
to it as a Protestant country. The
assertion" says the "Northwest
Review" of Winnipeg, Man., "has
been repeated so often that many
have come to believe in it's abso-
lutte accuracy. In fact it never
occurs to our public men or to the
secular papers to question the
veracity Of the statement, much
less to assert in an unguarded
moment that Canada is Catholic
to the core. We have felt dis
posed to and, as a matter Of fact,
have taken issue with those who
hold the opinion that Canada is
a Protestant country, but it has
been so difficult to obtain any sta
tistics of a definite value concern
ing the active membership Of
Protestant denominations that
anything approaching satisfac-
tory comparison was almost i'm
possible. The following despatch
from Toronto, however, throws
much light on the situation and
proves conclusively that Protes-
tant, Canada is a misnomer and
that Catholic Canada would much
more accurately describe the re-
igious complexion of the country /:
Toronto, Oct. 19.-A study Of
the total membership in the Pro
testant churches in Canada has
been made by Secretary Cackey
of the Laymen s Missionary Move
ment. At the time of the Lay
mems Congress three and half
years ago, it was estimated that
there were 100000 church mem
bers in the Dominion. This has
increased so that the total is to-
day close to 100000 divided as
follows: Anglicans, $4,000;
Baptists, I35, 600; Congregations
alists, 1860; Friends, LOCO; Luz
theran, 100000; Methodist, $685.
500; Presbyterian, $4,000; other
bodies (estimated) 10000"
To understand the significance
of these figures, it must be borne
in mind that the Dominion Of
Canada has a population Of over
six and half millions, more than
one-third Of which is Catholic. I'll

TOMMY ATKINS AND DRINK.

The changes that century has
wrought in respect to the use Of
strong liquor were illustrated during
the recent meeting in London of the
Royal Army Temperance Association,
which now has 67,433 members, Of
whom 38,405 are in the Indian army.
Earl Roberts said great change
has come over the morality Of the
army in India since the days when
it was the custom to provide every
soldier with "a tot of arrack" every
morning.
The idea in the old days was that
the hard-drinking man was the best
fighting man, and there was a direct
ratio between whisky consumed and
courage displayed.
Nowadays all recognize that the old
idea liz a ludicrous fallacy. Every
general who commanded troops i'm the
last quarter OF a century would say
that the best marching army and the
best fighting army In sober army.
