about it is that it gets hold of the
young man, enlists his services,
and makes him feel that life is
worth while, and that, instead of
apologizing for his religion, he
must reveal his religion and make
himself known and heard and felt
as a live wire among the dead
ones in non-religious community.
Catholics all the world over, and
especially men like the Knights of
Columbus, have a tremendous role
to fulfil. They are the Church s
lay apostolate, and must come
forth from back benches and back
streets into the open thorough
fares of life, discharging their
mission in the social and civic
fields of enterprise. The Knights
of Columbus are girdling the vast
northern continent of America
with their halls and centres of ac-
tivity springing up within hail of
each other

ILLITERACY IN AMERICA.

In the course Of an address be-
fore the Massachusetts, School
Masters Club at Boston DR.. Phil
ander P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner Of Education, hurl-
ed a bombshell into the ranks
of his auditors when he declared
that "our country school system
in the United States today is, per-
haps, the most deplorable Of any
civilized country in the world,
and far below the standards set
by" Japan, Germany and Scandi-
navia.
It goes without saying that this
statement was not relished by
those who regard the public
school system of the United States
as the acme of perfection and are
forever extolling the educational
ideals which it represents. IL
they thought that DR.. Claxton was
not prepared to substantiate his
statement they we're soon unde-
ceived. He gave them d graphic

NEW IMMIGRATION BILL
WOULD IMPOSE A NATIONALITY
RESTRIcTIoN-D NOT APP
PLY TO CANADA, MEXICO OR
CUBA.

Senator Dillingham; has introduced
another bill to limit immigration. He
was one of the authors of the Burnett
Dillingham; bill, the enactment of
which was defeated in the last Con-
gress by the veto of President Taft.
His new measure proposes a restric-
ton by nationality, namely: that the
number of immigrants from any ma
ton, exclusive of temporary visitors,
admitted in any one year shall not ex-
coed 10 per cent of the number of
persons of that nationality already
resident in the United States. But the
minimum number admissible should
not be less than 5000. This restric-
ton is not to apply to Canada, Mexico
or Cuba.
Under this plan," says Mr.. Daniel
J. Keefe, ex-Commissioner of Immi-
grafton, "134,312 Italians could come
annually; while the average number
per year during the last decade has
been 207,152; from Austria Hungary,
167,05S could come, against an annual
average for the past decade Of 219..
1872; from Greece, 1929, against 90.
118; from Turkey in Europe, 3,2S3,
against 1882.
con the other hand, 250,133 natives
of Germany would be entitled to come
annually, while the average annual i'm.
migration of such people during the
past decade has been only 1888. Den.
mark could send 1876, compared with
6,971 that have been coming; and the
United Kingdom would be allowed a
maximum Of 257, 1888, against 95,626.
During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1912, 1,O33,212 aliens applied for
admission, of whom only Ia per cent
were excluded for all causes. Present
indications are that for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1913, there will be ap-
proximately 1,375,OOO applicants for
admission and that the percentage OF
exclusions will not exceed that Of the
previous year"

who appeal to women. A few weeks
ago a great manifesto against alco-
holism, which is not the same thing
as drunkenness, was addressed to the
women of France.
In a recent number Of the Revue
Madame Brada reinforces this appeal,
pointing to the results obtained by
the cooperation of women in Swe-
den, Norway, Finland and Denmark
Sweden, which some years ago pos
sessed saloon for each 100 In
habitants, now possesses only one for
each 5000, owing to the activity OF
the women in the referendum which
grants or refuses the communal IL
cense necessary.
France new possesses a public
saloon for each seventy-eight inhabi-
tants, condition Of affairs which
Madame Brada regards as exempli-
flying the dictum Of Lord Rosebery,
that IL the States does not regulate
drink, drink will regulate the State.
To avert the final evil is the aim of
the appeal.

not absolved from the conse-
quences Of his wrongdoing by
alleging feeble-minded ness as an
excuse for his fall. There is a
shadowy line Of demarcation be-
tween sanity and insanity, where
it is difficult to determine the ex-
tent of responsibility for wrong
doing. The number included in
this twilight band is compare
lively small and each one must be
judged separately. But to say
that the ordinary individual can
be excused from the consequences
of an evil life on the plea of
feeble-mindedness is to run coun-
ter not only to the recognized
teaching of medical science, but
also to the dictates of common
sense.
DIR. Hurry leaves out of consid-
Grafton entirely the influence of
religion as factor in the proven
ton and eradication of evil habits.
In fact, he ridicules the idea of
religion and it's teaching entering
into the question at all. "The
shouting and scolding of preach
ers," he says, "the prayers and
pleadings of purity societies, will
all prove futile for the suppression
of vice. If he were as conversant
with the history of religions in
fiuence on humanity as a medical
practitioner ought to be, he would
know that, when science has done
its utmost to eradicate vice and
failed in the attempt, the sweet
and purifying influence of the
Gospel has succeeded in transform
ing the "scarlet woman" into a
model of recovered purity and
innocence.

If the Knights of Columbus
realize the ideal set before them
by Father Vaughan of England in
the course of an interview given
after his return from a tour
through America, they will justify
the high opinion which many 9th
ers have already formed in regard
to them.
In reply to the question about
the Knights of Columbus, Father
Vaughan said:
"The organization to which you
refer is a great and grand insti-
tuition which, like a network, COW
ers the whole country from the
Hudson to the Yukon; from the
Rockies to the Pacific. Always
and everywhere the Knights of
Columbus are active and enter
prising, and, Of course, chivalrous
and Catholic. What is 20 fine

MEDICAL TEACHING.

At the twenty-eighth confer
ence of the State and Provincial
Boards Of Health held at the Cap
itol on June IA, DR.. j. N. Hurry
of Indianapolis, submitted a re-
port in which he made the start
ling statement that "Vice is
feeble-mindedness. The scarlet
woman is predetermined. So also
is her male consort. This is GER
tainly a very summary and,
withal, convenient way of dispos-
ing of vexing problem.
We are not told what qualifca-
lions DR.. Hurry has for speaking
as one having authority" on this
matter; but we do know that the
statement is absolutely false from
the point of view of recognized
medical teaching. No reputable
physician in America or Europe
will stand sponsor for such a view
It, therefore, has no more value
than any other private opinion
put forward for the purpose of
attracting attention by its novelty.
The medical profession recognizes
a class of degenerates, feeble
minded or insane, who are not re-
sponsible for the vicious actions to
which they are sometimes prone.
Common sense, also, teaches that
those who have not the use of rea-
son cannot be held morally or
legally responsible for their VIC
iousness. But the average man il

prayers in honor. of the Blessed
Sacrament and of the Holy Name.
The first grants a partial in

applicable to the souls in Purga-

hearts, say: MAY the Most Holy

a plenary indulgence, also apple
able to the dead, is granted to all
who, having said this prayer
every day for a month, go to con-
fession and Communion and pray
for the intention of the Supreme
Pontiff. The second grants one

who salute one another with the
invocation, praised be Jesus

or "F'or ever" This indulgence
can also be applied to the suffer

The plan of granting financial
aid to mothers who have children
depending upon them has already
been adopted in sixteen States of
the Union, while two others have
made it applicable to their larger
cities. The idea has been taken
up in New Zealand and in parts
Of Australia. Whether or not it
will work out in practice as it's
advocates wish remains to be
seen. So far it seems to be CIV
ing satisfaction wherever it has
been given a trial.

St. Paul Seminary next Thursday
evening, June &c. This is an
opportunity which should not be
neglected by any one who wishes
to ascertain how fully his life and
it's activities conform to the lofty
ideals of spiritual perfection in
culcated by the Gospel. It is not
yet too late to make up your mind
to attend. Take a respite from
the affairs Of life and devote some
time to the business of your soul.
"What doth it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and suffer
the loss of his own soul?" is as
true today as it was when uttered
by divine lips.

SOCIALISM AND THE SCHOOL
SOCIALISTS WOULD INsTIL THEIR
FALSE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
INTO THE MINDS OF INNOCENT
CHILDREN.

Socialism doesn't believe in God.
That should be quite plain, says Bird
S. Color in the Live Issue. For in
stance, Socialism is based on what
Marx and Engels called "The Mater
ialistic Conception Of History" His
tory is the known facts of the past.
A conception is an idea A concep-
ton of history is an idea about the
facts of the past. Materialistic means
material, or of matter. A material
istic conception of history means an
idea of the facts of the past based
upon another idea that all we know
is matter.
The Socialists have another term
that means the same thing. They call
it economic determinism. Economic
means the struggle of human beings
for necessaries, conveniences and lux
uries of life Determinism, as here
used, means the effect upon human
beings of something Economic de-
lterminism" means the effect on hui
man beings Of their struggle for the
necessaries, conveniences and Injuries
of life. It's effect on their bodies and
their minds. It's effect on their con-
duct. They say, for instance-it is
Engels, the man who worked with
Marx when the two of them together
wrote "The Manifest" who says it.
that God is a reflex of economic con-
ditions" A reflex of economic con-
ditions" means result of the struggle
for food and comfort and pleasure 1t
is argued our this way. The struggle
for food and comfort and pleasure was
between two classes-you know how
they talk Of "the class war"-one of
which compelled the other to do the
hard labor while it enjoyed the fruits
of that labor In order that the own
| ing class might keep the non-oWners
satisfied, promise was given Of a
happy future beyond the grave; and,
to compensate for the cruelty and in
justice here, good and just God was
invented. Thus, God was result of
the struggle, or reflex of economic
conditions" They account for mar
riage in the same way; Bebe1 says it
was invented so that property might
be kept i'm families.
So, when Socialist tells you that
Socialism is political movement that
does not question your religious be-
lief, IL you have one, he fs like man
saying: The stones OF which this
house is built have nothing to do with
the house; it would stand just as well
without them" or, "The root from
which this apple tree springs has
nothing to do with the tree; it would
bear apples without root"
Socialism doesn't believe in Cod
| it is also opposed to marriage. Mr..
Bebel, who was great Socialist lead
er, says so. He wrote book called

picture Of the widespread dis
semination of illiteracy when he
said that the problem was no long
er one Of race or section, and adj
duced the following figures in
proof of his assertions:
Massachusetts, has z, 1869 more
illiterate men Of voting age than
Arkansas; Michigan has 1858
more than West Virginia; Mary
land has 1882 more than Flori-
da, and Pennsylvania has $3.50
more than Tennessee and Ken
lucky combined. The per cent of
illiterates in population in New
Bedford, Mass, is 12.1; in Dallas,
Tex, 4 in Passaic, N. j., it is
1873; in Augusta, Ca, 1919; in
Utica, N. Y, it is 80; in Roanoke,
Va, 60 These figures indicate
clearly that if all classes of pop
ulation are considered, no section
can claim to be free from adult
illiteracy.
"Of the total number Of illit-
crates 1,768,O00 live in cities, and
3,748,000 in rural communities,
small towns and open country. Of
the city population 81 per cent
were illiterate, and of the rural
population 10.1 per cent"
He declared that, although the
percentage Of illiteracy among
native white persons of the United
States is only 4.8 per cent, as
contrasted with 40 per cent of the
negroes of ten years Of age and
over who are illiterate, the total
number Of white illiterates is
greater by nearly 957 900 than the
total number Of negro illiterates
In emphasizing the meaning OF
these figures DR.. Claxton used the
following illustration:
Marching in double line at
the rate of twenty-five miles a
day, the 5,546,000 illiterate per-
sons 10 years of age and over who
were counted in the last census
would require more than two
months, walking night and day, to
pass a given point. This mighty
army would extend over a stretch
of 1,567 miles, more than the dis
lance from Washington to Chica-
go and half the way back again
" A mighty army is this, carry
ing banners Of blackness and
darkness, inscribed with legends
of illiteracy, weakness, helpless
ness and hopelessness- far toe

cratic institutions, for the highest
good of society and for the great

of the country. The ignorance OF
more than 100000 persons in the
United States is not wholly OF
chiefly their own fault. To g
large degree it is due to lack Of
opportunity, because of poverty OF

The Philadelphia Ledger is the
latest paper to follow the good
example set by other reputable
journals in dropping the colored
comic supplement to the Sunday
edition. The reason given is that
the management believes this feat
ure of the paper is pernicious to
boys and girls. 1t would be well if
other Sunday newspapers would
follow this example. The comic
supplement is, as general rule,
vulgar, and has not even the merit
of wholesome humor to recon-
mend it; and yet how many peo-
pie devour it Sunday after Sun
day!

TOTAL ABSTINENCE
CONVENTION.

The forty-second annual con-
vention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of the Arch
diocese of st. Paul will be held in
this city on Wednesday, July 16.
Delegates from the different So
cieties of the Union will meet for
the presentation of reports re-
garding the work of the year and
the discussion of ways and means
for increasing the number and
efficiency of those who are engaged
in promulgating the principles of
total abstinence.
The Rev. James Donahoe, Presi-
dent of the Union, will preside at
the business sessions, as well as at
the public rally to be held in the
evening, at which the principal
address will be delivered by the
Very Reverend P. J. O'Callaghan,
C. S. p, of Chicago, President of
the National Union.
Father O'Callaghan is well
known as a fluent and vigorous
speaker whose knowledge of the
liquor traffic in the United States
is born of a long and practical
study of the problem from the
viewpoint of missionary priest
in one Of the largest cities of the
country. He is no visionary or
theorist, but a man of sound
common sense, whose exposition
Of the problems connected with
the drink traffic in this country is
sane and scientific. He has been
President of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America for
a number of years and this will
be his first official visit to the
Twin Cities. The local Union is
preparing to give him a rousing
welcome and the indications are
that large audience interested
in the total abstinence movement
will hear his address at the COM
ing convention.
Since the Archdiocesan Union
was founded in February, 1872, it
has never missed holding an
annual convention. Many of the
old leaders Of the movement have
passed away, but the few who
remain are determined to make
the forty-second annual conven-
ton one Of the best of recent
years. Many people seem to be
under the impression that there
is little, if any, need of tenn
perance work, and especially of
total abstinence work, at the
present time. Nothing can be
farther from the truth. The incul-
cation of total abstinence prin-
ciples is as necessary today as it
was twenty-five years ago and, in
some respects, more so. The youth
Of today need to be told that the
successful business and profess
sional man must be, for all prac-
teal purposes, a total abstalner.
Drink has ruined more careers
than any other single cause, and
very slight acquaintance with
the prevailing conditions sufices
to show the absolute need of a
more widespread propaganda on
behalf Of total abstinence if we
would save the rising generation
from the dangers by which they
are beset, not only from the ever
present saloon, but also from the
facilities with which social drink
ing can be carried on in clubs,
restaurants and hotels.

1t seems that the late Poet
Laureate of England, Alfred
Austin, who was born of Catholic
parents, did not profess their

his early religious training en-

by the fact that his remains were
