KNIGHTS SCORE VICTORY
DEFENDANT IN CRIMINAL LIBEL
SUIT ADMITS CHARGE AND
PoLoGIZEs-sUIT DROPPED.

The criminal libel case against
Charles A. Swift, of St. Johns, New
foundland, charged with criminal libel
against the knights of Columbus in
circulating a bogus oath, concluded
February 18, after evidence had been
heard connecting the prisoner with
printing and circulating what was
alleged to be an oath taken by mem
bers of the Knights of Columbus.
Charles O'Neil Conroy, Grand
knight, the plaintiff, described the
Order as a social and fraternal one,
with the principles of charity, unity,
fraternity and patriotism. It's mem
bers took no oath of any kind.
The prisoner admitted the charges,
expressed deep regret, and apologized
to all concerned.
Cross-examined by Hon. A. B. Mo-
rine, K. c., representing the Knights,
he said he had acted at the request
of Henry Blatch, a local boarding
house keeper and had never seen the
alleged oath till it was shown to him
by Blatch. He had since learned it
originated in paper called The Men
ace.
Mr.. Morine said the proceedings
we're taken to show the bogus nature
of the oath. There was no desire to
prosecute or even to punish. Swift
having explained, apologized, and
given proper information, his clients
were satisfied that he was a victim
and bore no actual malice, as he sin
cerely regretted his part in circu-
lating the defamatory matter. This
being so, the prosecutors object had
been achieved and he desired the pro-
ceedings should go no further against
this particular person. Prosecutor
Conroy would, however, prosecute for
any further circulation by anyone.

who are acquainted with the trend
of sentiment would not be greatly
surprised if it should become law.
OF course, the proposal is new, and
in a sense radical, but it is not revo-
lutionary. The particular bill before
our legislature provides for COM
mission to be appointed by the gov
ernor, which shall have full power to
investigate the wages paid to women
and minors, and, either directly or
indirectly to fix rates of wages below
which no employer will be permitted
to hire any woman or minor. In most
cases the commission would undoubt-
edly decide not to fix the wage rates
directly itself, but to take advantage
of that provision by which the COM
mission is empowered to set up
boards consisting of representatives
of the general public, the employers,
and the employees in any given in
dustry. The wages recommended by
such board would be the wages put
into effect by the commission.
THE bill requires the commission
and the boards, to fix the minimum
at figure that will keep the work
ers in health and supply them with
the conditions of reasonable life. AS
the cost of living is less in some To-
calities than in others, the commits
sion is authorized to make the mini
mum lower in some places than in
others, even when the workers are
doing the same kind of work. But
the general aim of the bill is to pro-
tect women and minors against that
physical and moral degradation which
experience shows to be the inevitable
result of insufficient wages. Any in
dustry that can live only by destroy
ing the bodies and souls of helpless
women and children does not deserve
to survive.
LAS a matter of fact, no industry
in Minnesota that is of any impor-
tance would be injured by minimum
wage law What the commission and
the boards would probably do, what
they have done where such law
exists, as in England and Australia
is to fix the minimum at or very little
above the wages already paid by the
most humane and most efficient en-
p1oyers in the trade or business affect

Each year on "Laetare" Sunday,

versity of Notre Dame announces the
name of the recipient of medal

PROFESSOR Of ESPERANTO
RESIDENT CHAPLAIN AT CHRIS
TIAN BRoTHERS COLLEGE
TEACHES CLASS OF EIGHTEEN
IN FUTURE LANGUAGE OF THE
WORLD.

A quarter of century ago Dr. Zam-
anhof invented Esperanto, the inter
national auxiliary language. At its in
ception and many times since, there
have not been lacking those who ta-
booed the very idea of universal
tongue as mere dream.
The history of it's twenty-five years
of existence, the almost universal
adoption of its study and the wide
prevalence of its use have proved that
Esperanto is more than passing
fad, and far from being impractical
as a vehicle of international express
sion.
The popularization of Esperanto is
the special object of the Universal AS
sociation of Esperanto, a society
which has branches in sixty different
countries and has one thousand
two hundred delegates, representing
many thousands of members through
out the world. The only official dele
gate for the Missouri region is the
Rev. Father Mojada, resident chap
lain of the Christian Brothers Col
lege, st. Louis. Father Mojada is
now teaching an evening class of
eighteen at the college. Under his
tutorage, several students have al
ready obtained their diplomas from
the Esperanto Association of North
America, Washington, ID. G.

ARCHBISHOP KElNE's LECTURES
GIVES A SERIES OF ADDRESSES
ON "EVIDENcEs OF RELIGION"
IN BALTIMORE THEATRE AND
breaches A RETREAT FOR
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
OF TOLEDO.

Last week the Most Reverend James
J. Keane, Archbishop of Dubuque,
gave series of lectures, free to the
public, in Albaugh's Theatre, Balti-
more, in which he set forth and ex-
planned the teaching of the Catholic
Church on important questions relating
to mans spiritual welfare. A feature
of the lectures was Question Box
by means of which those interested
might obtain fuller information on any
point of Catholic doctrine.
The general subject of his lectures
was Evidences of Religion" He dealt
with the fundamental problems that
effect the individual in his relation
ship to God and his fellowmen. So
attractive to the public did these lee
lures prove that many were unable to
obtain admission to the theatre. In
the audience were scores of non-Cath-
olics for whom these lectures were
primarily intended. They were given
under the auspices of the Knights Of
Columbus of Baltimore.
Judge Dawkins who introduced the
Archbishop one evening said:
Il am a on-Catholic, but believe
that the truth is for all Of us and that
the sacrifices of the early saints were
for all of us. When there is message
of truth to be delivered from any
source whatever, it should command
our most respectful attention. feel
confident that Archbishop Keane has a
message that will be Of benefit to all. |
shall give him respectful hearing and
trust that those Of other faiths than
his will heed his words and weigh his
arguments"
From Baltimore Archbishop Keane
came to Toledo, Ohio, where, during
the present week, he is preaching a
retreat for men in st. Francis de
Sales Cathedral under the auspices OF
Toledo Council, Knights of Columbus.
The subjects of his evening sermons
are "The Worth of Religion" Faith
in Christ" Christ the Saviour;
Rejection of Salvation" What ig
Wanted in U.s." and the "Call of the
Good Shepherd"
The exercises in the Cathedral are
being attended by many non-Catholics
who listen with deep attention to
the Archbishop's explanation of Cath
olic truth.

ST. DUNsTAN's CATHEDRAL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
ST. DUNSTAN'S CATHEDRAL,
CHARLOTTE EToWN, p. {. l.,
BURNED TO THE GROUND
COMPLETED SIX YEARS AGO AT
A COST OF $25o,ooo-BIsHoP's
PALACE DAMAGED.

In the early morning on March 8,
st. Dunstan's Cathedral, Charlotte
town, Prince Edward Island, Canada,
was completely destroyed by fire
which also damaged the Bishops
Palace" situated across the street
from it. We have been unable to
learn the origin of the fire which
robbed the Diocese of Charlottetown
of one of the most beautiful, though
not the largest, Cathedrals in the
Dominion of Canada.
st. Dunstan's Cathedral was a
stone structure, dedicated in Septem-
Der, 1907. The cornerstone was laid
in September, 1896, and the first Mass
was celebrated in it on Christmas of
the following year, when the exterior
was completed with the exception of
the towers, finished later In this
unfinished condition it was used
for divine worship for decade of
years. When completed it cost about
$250,000. 1t was a gothic structure of
the thirteenth century style of archi-
lecture, about two hundred feet in
length by one hundred and sixteen
in width at the transepts. The main
nave was one hundred and twenty by
fifty feet; the sanctuary forty-five by
thirty-six feet. 1t had a seating capa-
city of about fifteen hundred.
The destruction of the Cathedral is
great loss to the Diocese. Bishop
elect O'Leary was to have been con.
secrated in it on May %, in success.
sion to the Right Reverend James
Charles Mcdonald, who built the
Cathedral and officiated at it's dedica
tion.

RELIGIONS IN PRUSSIA
CATHOLICS, WHO NUMBER THIR-
TY-FIVE PER CENT, HOLD FEW
STATE OFFICES.

Religious statistics for Prussia show
a Catholic population of 3514 per
cent, 1929 per cent being Protestant
and LA per cent Jews. The official
returns of Prussia, which among
other matters give the religious be-
lief of each official, show incidentally
how unequally the State appointments
are divided among the various repre-
sentatives of the population.
At the last census of officials-1907
there were in Prussia 236,448 high,
middle and lower class officials of the
Government, and this number has GER
tainly not decreased in the interven-
ing five years. Of this number there
were 1888 Protestants, 59,967 Cath
olics, 2,846 Jews and sos of other or
no belief. If the officials had been
chosen in proportion to the different
religions represented by the popula-
ton the Catholics should have had 23,-
120 more officers, the Protestants
%, ,180 less, and the Jews 161 less.
The favoritism shown to non-Cath-
olics is still more marked when we
come to dissect the numbers in each
class of officials Among 11,157 high
officials there are only 1854 Catho-
lies, while in the middle and lower
grades the ratio is still smaller. Sta
tistics are dry things, but there is
much to be learned from them. Ger
man Catholics, smarting over the in.
justice of the decision on the Jesuit
law, are going into matters which
have ranked for some time, and this
is one of them.
