whether or not, in countries as
large as the United States, it is
expedient to grant the franchise
to women. Is there not some rea-
son to fear that, under the pecu-
liar political conditions prevail
ing in this country, it will intro
duce a discordant element into
the family life and weaken it's
solidarity? We know the difficult
ties that often arise in families
where there is difference Of
religion, and it is not unlikely
that a difference of political views
will tend to strain the bond of
union that should exist between
husband and wife. The family
should be unit in all things and
should speak through it's repre-
sentative and head, the husband
and father. 1t is difficult to COM
bine the direct participation of
woman in the political life of
the present time with her pre-
dominant duty as a mother. As
it is, the indirect influence Of
women in the civic life of the
nation makes for the stability of
the moral order, and if she were
granted the right of franchise
there is reason to fear that it
would have a tendency to lower
the high moral plane on which
she now stands and to exert a
deleterious influence on the fem
mime virtues which are so essen
tial to true womanhood.
At present there seems to be
no very great demand on the part
of the women of the United States
for equal political rights with
men. The agitation has been car
ried on by a comparatively small
number and it is doubtful that, in
the event of woman's suffrage
being granted, the majority Of
the women would take advantage
Of the opportunity to cast their
votes. Where they have the
right to do SO at present on GER
tain questions, many fail to exer-
else this privilege. However, the
question is a civic and political
one and, no doubt, the agitation
will be kept up until some salts
factory solution is found

A new diocese has been erected
in Southern Alberta, Canada,
with its Episcopal See at Calgary.
1t is part of the Ecclesiastical
Province Of Edmonton which has
just been formed in the Canadian
Northwest with Most Rev. Arch
bishop Legal, O. M. l., as its first
Metropolitan. While the new Arch
bishopric takes it's name from the
city of Edmonton, the Archbish-
op will reside in St. Albert, twelve
miles distant, which is the pres
ent episcopal city. It is expected
that Bishop of Calgary will be
appointed in the near future.

The Inauguration Of Raymond
Poincare as President of France
took place in Paris on Febru-
airy 10. The ceremonies were
simple but impressive. He was
met at the official residence of the
Chief Executive by the retiring
President, Armand Fallieres, who
welcomed him in a brief address
to which he replied as briefly.
The term of the new President is
seven years. Premier BRAND and
his colleagues were asked to re-
tain their official positions. The
United States might, with profit,
take a lesson from the Demo-
cratic simplicity with which the
Republic Of France welcomes the
Chief Executive into office.

THE PASSING OF THE
INFIDEL.

A writer in the Standard, of
Chicago, makes merry over the
downfall of the infdel and re-
joices that he has passed away.
According to him. the mantle Of
Colonel Ingersoll has fallen on
nobody's shoulders. An infdel
lecture on "The Mistakes of
Noses" for instance, even with
out admittance fee, or the threat
of collection, would attract no.
body. Modern scholarship, he
argues, has given the infdel his
quietus.
We doubt both the truth of the
alleged fact and Of the alleged
reason. There are infidels today
who do attract crowds and they
attack truths just as vital as did
the author of "The Mistakes of
Moses" These attacks are so
persistent, hurled from so many
different quarters, carried on
through SO many different chan
nels, that they necessarily have
ceased to cause a sensation. The
surcease of sensation is, alas a
sign, not of the passing Of the in
fidel, but Of the arrival of in
fidelity.
That, in some respects, these are
infdel times, seems to be clear.
With the best will to be optimis-
tic, we cannot consider our vast
population and relatively small
church and Sunday school mem
bership, without arriving at the
painful conclusion, that there are
millions In our beloved land who
never enter a church. What are
these millions but infdels out and
out, Or infdels in the making? A
yearly crop of a hundred thousand
divorces brings to light how many
have been leading infdel lives
and how many purpose to live
more infdel lives in future. Social
ism, according to Theodore Roose-
welt, lis and must be bitterly
opposed to religion and moral
ity." Yet, Socialism in its ex-
IRENE form has it's hundreds of
thousands of adherents. The
teaching Of our universities, ac-
cording to competent authorities,
is frankly infdel. In our own
State University you can study
Psychology without learning that
you have soul and you learn in
Zoology that you belong to a
species of the ape family. With
all these forces at work drilling,
sapping, undermining the great
Christian tenets, the infdel lee
turer of the old clustering type
may find his occupation gone,
not because modern scholarship
has made him impossible, but be-
cause our poor people are dulled
into insensibility by infidel pro
nouncements. The most frantic
infdelity has been preached on
our street corners until it has be-
come stale. In this state of things
there is little help to be had from
the so-called modern scholarship.
On the contrary, the speaker may
be- vulgar and ignorant, but he
can take from modern scholarship
names of national and interna-
tional reputation as authorities
for his widest statements.
It was ancient, not modern,
scholarship that gave the most
effective answer to Ingersoll, and
If there is to be any effective bar
rier erected against the tidal
wave of infidelity that now
threatens us it viii be erected by
the same scholarship, ever an
cient, ever new. n-Catholic

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.


troduced into the Legislature of
Minnesota in the early part of
the session was passed by the
House but killed in the Senate.
The bill provided for submitting
to the people the question of
granting the franchise to the
women Of the State.
It goes without saying that the
women behind the measure are
sorely disappointed. They look
upon the defeat Of the bill as an
indication that Minnesota is not
so progressive as several other
states in which women enjoy the
franchise. They point to the An
tipodes where the experiment
has been tried, and where it has
worked satisfactorily as far as
we learn from those who are in
position to know the truth about
the matter. New Zealand granted
the right of franchise to women
in 1898. A few years later the
Commonwealth Of Australia did
likewise, and in 1903 Tasmania
fell into line.
The question Of granting the
franchise to women is one about
which much might be said on
both Sides It is not religious,
but a civic and social problem.
The Church has not made any
announcement on it and, there
fore, Catholics are free to hold
their own opinions in regard to
this feminist movement. There
are Catholic advocates on both
sides.
In recent letter to the London
Tablet, the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Delany of Hobart, Tas-
mania, deprecates the attempts
made to demonstrate the un-
catholic character Of these later
demands for women's place in
public life," as well as the attacks
based on "the higher plane of
broad Catholic principle. - He
says that in Tasmania women, as
well as men, have exercised the
franchise, and have done brisk
canvassing just like the men.
Speaking for the women of Tas-
mania, he says, 81 affirm that
no Tasmanian woman, Catholic
or Protestant, to my knowledge
and I am fairly qualified to
know-has forgotten the dignity
of her sex or her self-respect or
has done any Of the things that
do befall men on such occasions,
and that seriously weaken their
claim to exclusive fitness for the
discharge Of those important ma
tional services. "
There is no reason why this
prelate's statement regarding the
practical working of woman s
suffrage in Tasmania should not
be verified elsewhere. But al
though the granting of the fran
chise in Tasmania was not pre-
ceded by any public suffragette
agitation, the same cannot be said
of the more recent attempts along
these lines in other countries. In
England the Suffragettes have
gone to extremes in their efforts
to coerce the Government into
granting them the franchise.
This agitation has not helped the
cause; but, rather, prejudiced it
in the minds of a great many
people. The methods used by
these advocates of woman suff-
rage In England and In some
parts of this country really tend
to show that many women are
scarcely capable, as yet, of a
judicial exercise of this privil-
ege. They have shown, by their
conduct, that they are too easily
swayed by an emotional, rather
than by a calm judicial tempera-
ment, and under such circum-
stances they are prone to disre-
gard the claims of law and order.
But whatever may be said on
behalf of the movement In other
countries. If IS a grave n11esfion

INVESTIGATING THE
 BAL LTINORE EXPLOSION
Efforts are Being Made to Learn Mum
 Der of Dead and the Cause.

BALTIMORE. March S.-William J. Bomnardr. assistant foreman of the gang of stevcdores who were loading dynamite into the Alum Chine. was arrested shortly after midnight and held for the jury of inquest summon ed bv Coroner Russell. The coroner ordered the arrest after a statement to him by Morris Price. d stevedOrc. AccOrdiTs to the coroner. Price told him that ECmhardt reprOVed several of the stcTcdOreS for working slowly and a- the same time hastily jabbed bale hook into one box of dynamite on the chute. Earlier in the night Bomhardt made statement that there were two explosions aboard the vessel .A2 first occurring when a
 box of dynamite he and another man
 were handling exploded as they set
 it on tte floor.
 Efforts to determine the number of
 dead and injured as a result of the ex- plosiOn of dynamite yesterday in the hold of the British tramp steamer Alum Chine and ascertain the cause of acci- dent were only partially successful Seventeen bodies were identified and two remain in the mOrgue unidentified twelve are missing and given up as lost and it is thought that at least ten stevedOres who were known only by | numbers, lost their lives. Two of the 43 known to have been injured will 1 probably die. A conservative estimate | indicates the property loss will be be- ! tween four and five hundred thousand 1 dollars Fifteen survivors of the crew of the Alum Chine tonight signed a
 sworn statement in which they de-
 clared the governmental laws regarding | the loading of explosives were carried out and that fire of unknown origin in
 the bow of the ship caused the eXplo- 1 sion The men say they saw the fire ] before the explosion.
