RAILROADS DEMAND soBRIETY.

The Railroad Association Magazine,
a periodical devoted to the interests
of the railroad men, recently published
a series of articles on the effect of
slcohol and it's relation to the efficiency
of the men. The subject was treated
from the standpoint of the various
officials. The following is the state
ment of E. E. Williams, chief conduc-
tor for twelve years on the st. Louis
division No. 8, Order of Railway Con-
ductors:
alcohol is foe to efficiency in
sufficient command of language to ex-
press what know and feel in support
of the above statement from the view
point of the man in train and engine
service. There is perhaps no other
calling in which such high degree of
necessary to insure the safe and
prompt meeting of emergencies of
which the general public know little
or nothing and which cannot be an
ticipated by operating rules. They are
constantly arising and are accepted as
matter of course by the men in the
service These emergencies must be
met with quick thought and immedi-
ate action to insure as far as possible
safety to life and property. 1t is con-
ceded by all authorities that the pres
ence of alcohol in the system creates
an abnormal condition both mentally
and physically which renders the vic
tim (the word is used advisedly) inca
pable of concentrated thought and in
itiative action, and units him for that
alert attention to duty which is the
primary essential of safe and success
full railroading.
"The young man entering the serv-
ice should be fully impressed with the
Importance of three things: First, the
duty he owes to the public in safe
guarding as far as possible their lives
and property; second, the duty he
owes his employers in giving value
received for every penny of his salary;
third, the duty he owes to himself and
family and his fellows in the service
The habitual use of alcohol has ten
dency to eliminate from the mind all
sense of responsibility, and even If a
man does his work it is in mechan-
ical way and simply from the force of
habit. He is not safe man to trust
when the lives of the public, his fell
low workmen and the property of his
employers are at stake. As duty to
himself and his family he should con-
serve his resources and be prepared
as far as possible for the accident or
misfortune which will probably come
sooner or later even to the sober man,
and which il much more liable to
come when alcohol becomes factor
to be reckoned with among our asso-

There are nearly five thousand
Catholic schools in the United
States attended by upwards of two
million students. These schools
says the Catholic News, cost the
Catholic people about fifteen mil,
lion annually for maintenance and
ordinary expenses. Every school
under Catholic direction is and
ought to be a fortress against
anarchy, disorder and irreligion

take from the labOrlng man the
things he needs most religion
and home. In vain did the franz
,ers Of the national platform of the
Socialist Party Of America declare
Religion is private matter, and
that Socialism has nothing to do
with any religion The declara-
ton was hypocritical, for the
debate that preceded it's adoption
showed the purpose of the non-
religious plank was simply to get
votes.
"To say Socialism is merely an
economic theory is to treat it in
the abstract. Those who do so
are severely condemned by Belfort
Bax, probably the most eminent
exponent of Socialism today, for
throwing dust in the eyes of the
laboring man Socialism, he
teaches, is materialistic. 1t re-
moves from man his trust in God
and His providence and places it
in himself It regards all the woes
OF the world as coming from the
present social order.
ut looks upon all the religions
Of the world as an outgrowth of
economics. With a change Of the
economic system, therefore, there
will have to be new religion to
supplant Christianity. Karl Marx
declares that man makes religion,
not religion man. The abolition
of religion as the deceptive happi-
ness of the people is necessary
condition of their true happiness,
is urged by him too.
"The indissoluble union of one
man and one woman in marriage
is in conformity with the laws of
nature and revelation. But Marx
and Bax tell us a new develop
ment Of family through Socialism
would take place on the basis not
Of a predetermined lifelong bust
ness arrangement to be formally
and nominally held to be irrespec-
tive of circumstances but on
mutual inclination and affection,
an association terminable at the
will of either party
''Engel writes: Three great OBJ
stacles block the path Of social
reform-private property, relig-
ion, and the present form of mar
rage We are not surprised at
this blasphemous teaching of the
great leaders of Socialism when
we remember their materialistic
conception of history and their
materialistic philosophy of life.
"The history of the world, they
claim, and all it's evolutions are
but the outgrowth Of economic
conditions. Man is but the ex-
crescence of matter and the grave
is the end of all, they contend.
What wonder that they exhort
their followers in the language of
pagan unbelief, Let us eat, drink,
1 and be merry, for tomorrow we
shall die. -

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

To argue that because millions
drink without becoming criminals.
liquor is not cause of crime is just
as reasonable as to argue that con-
taminated water is not a cause of
typhoid fever, because millions who
drink it do not contract that disease.
In theory there might possibly be
some use of alcoholic liquors so min
ute as to be without injurious results;
in practice there is no such use.

POPE Plus x.

Next SUNDAY, august 4, is Ine
ninth anniversary of the election
Of His Holiness Pope Plus x to
the Supreme Pontifcate Of the
Catholic Church. Little did the
Patriarch, Joseph Sarto, dream
when he left his Venetian palace to
participate in the solemn conclave
which was to elect a successor to
Leo XIII, that the mantle of
Christ's Vicarship would descend
upon his shoulders. When the
voice of his colleagues in the
Sacred College Of Cardinals called
him to the Chair Of Peter he &C.
cepted the responsibility Of this
exalted office with the greatest
reluctance.
During the nine years which
have since elapsed he has striven
to fulfil the task to which he set
himself at the beginning of his
reign, namely, to restore all
things in Christi It has been an
eventful period in the history OF
the Church. The Bark of Peter
has been tossed ON troubled wa
tiers; hidden rocks and treacherous
shoals have threatened it's safety
the angry waves Of human passion
and political ambition are still
beating mercilessly upon it; but il
has weathered the storm which, we
hope, will soon abate it's fury. But
even when the outlook was most
unpropitious the guiding hand Of
Christ's Vicar never wavered or
it's controlling helm.
Plus X has entered Jpn his
seventy-eighth year, less robust, il
lis true, than he was nine years ago
but still vigorous and active in thu
discharge Of the sacred duties o.
his exalted office. The weight o.
years and the ravages Of disease
far from counselling the husband
ing of physical vigor and suggest
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of relaxing
somewhat the constant strain anC
watchfulness which the varied in
terests of the Universal Churcl
make upon him, have rather in
tensifed his desire to hasten as fal
as possible, during the year.
allotted to him, the work of restor
ing all things in Christ. To tina
noble task he has devoted all hi
energies and the history OF hi
pontifcate shows how much he ha
accomplished.
The fervent prayers of Christen
dom are poured forth for him OF
this anniversary; and his faithful
children throughout the world re
joice that the evening Of his lii
has been prolonged to enable hin
to accomplish still greater thing
for the welfare Of religion. The.

Germany.
At Salzburg it had been decided that
the next congress should take place
at Rheims, France, but owing to the
present sad condition of the Church in
France the international committee
decided to select another place, and
thus the venerable city of Treves was
chosen No happier choice could have
been made.
Located on the charming banks of
the Moselle, surrounded by wooded
heights and picturesque rocks, it is
not only the most ancient, but also one
of the most attractive cities of the
Fatherland. In early times it was the
seat of the Roman emperors, and
many of the ancient Fathers and Doc
tors of the Church have been connect
ed with it's history. st. Ambrose was
born there, and st. Jerome, who lived
at Treves, was full of praise for this
seat of learning and high culture. st.
Athanasius took refuge within its
walls, and the venerable Church of st.
Matthias, the Apostle, where st. Ber-
nard raised his powerful voice, is still
standing. 1t is even claimed that it's
first Bishop, st. Eucharius, was sent
there together with Valerius and Ma
ternus by st. Peter himself. The Ro-
man Martyrology tells us that early
in the third century at Treves number
less martyrs innumerabiles martyres
laid down their lives for Christ.
Thus it's history, churches, monu-
ments, and relics speak of the Church
and Christianity.

Washington, Apr. 23-Upon re-
suming the inquiry into the Titanic
disaster today the members of the
senate investigating committee We're
convinced that the hearing will re
quire many days.
That the whole story when told
will form the basis of a new mari
time law and will lead to interna-
tional conferences they do not doubt.
Information has come to the senate
authorities that all the great mari
time nations of the world are watch
ing the investigation very closely.
The committee planned to recall
today Fourth Officer Boxhall of the
Titanic, who revealed the startling
fact yesterday that an unknown ship
had been sighted about ) miles from
the Titanic long before she went to
the bottom This was the first time
that anything had been said of a
ship which failed to catch the dis
tress signals and started away leav
ing the Titanic to her fate.
Owing to the confusion caused by
the rush of crowds to the hearings,
the committee decided today to ex-
clude the general public, and the
hearing was transferred to -sma Her
room in the senate Office building.
This change caused disappointment
to thousands of persons, the most of
whom We're women, who crowded
about the corridors leading to the
caucus rooms.
Third officer Pittman was the first
witness called. He told his expert
ences in II years spent on the seas.
He said that the weather on the Ii
tanic's voyage had been perfect. He
said that boat drills away had been
held at Southampton and at Queens
town. The Titanic drill at South
ampton, he said, consisted of lower
ing and lifting two boats.
The witness said that it was Gus
tomary aboard ship to have boat and

fire drills every Sunday.
He said he did not hear anything
of the wireless message about ice
bergs until Saturday night or Sun
day morning when it was put on the
chart.
From the log and the number of
revolutions, the witness thought the
Titanic was making about 81 u
knots at the time of the collision.
Did the ship travel faster than
that at any time prior to the acct
dent?" he was asked.
No, sir; | think not

massacre of the whole of the French

Horrible scenes occurred in the
Jewish quarter of the city, where the
mob murdered, pilaged and burned all
the Jews they could find, throwing
the bodies from the roofs of houses.
Many young girls were carried of to
suffer indeseribable tortures. The
Jewish quarter was set atire and
three-fourths of it was destroyed,
leaving a thousand people homeless.
