THE ENCYCLOPEDIA PRESS.

Incorporated, is the name which the
publishers of the Catholic Encycio-
pedia have adopted in place of Rob.
ert Appleton Company, the name un-
der which they were incorporated in
1905 for the purpose Of publishing the
Encyclopedia.
The new name has been chosen to
do away with the confusion that had
gradually arisen between the former
name and that of the older house of
D. Appleton & Company.
When the Catholic Encyclopedia
was started, as there was no Catholic
publishing house ready to undertake
its publication. q special company
was formed for this purpose. This
company was always a distinct cor.
poration, entirely independent Of ev-
cry other publishing house. with it's
own capital, officers and board Of d.
rectors consisting Of men prominent
In Catholic affairs. 1t was named
Robert Appleton Co. because two
members Of the Appleton family who
had formerly been partners in the d.
Appleton Company, but who had re.
tired from the same, offered their
services for the purpose Of publish

former rate was lower than the ex-
press rates. At the. time 1t went into
effect it was thought the addition of
the new service would cause seri-
GUS loss to the postofice department.
The recent announcement of the
Postmaster General shows that the
service has not been carried at loss.
but that the rate is higher than the
government needs to charge in order
to make parcel post self-sustaining.
The striking question the circum-
stance suggests is, How much were
the express companies making on the
commodities that are now being
handled through parcel post? 1t
would appear that the express rate
was excessive in the extreme.

JOHN o'cALLAGHAN.

The sudden death of John O'Cal-
laghan in Boston last Sunday is the
cause of deep regret for his thousands
of friends in America and Ireland. Mr..
O'Callaghan was an able man and,
whether one agrees with him in his
political views or not, one cannot re.
strain admiration for the self-sacrific-
ing labor with which he fought for
the cause of his country. He pos
sessed ambition and ability. All his
talents he devoted unstintedly and
without remuneration to the work of
pushing in America the movement for
tho self-government of Ireland.
He entered the newspaper profess
sion when a mere boy and continued
in 1t till his death. His success as a
journalist is attested to by the Bos-
ton Globe on the editorial staff OF
which he served for twenty five
years. In an editorial that paper says
his death takes from the Boston
Globe one Of the best writer's this pa
per has ever had on its staff" Con-
tinuing, it says:

thoroughly conscientious, loyal work.
er. Men of prominence often took oc-
casion to point out the excellence of
his work as a newspaper man."
Mr.. O'Callaghan was but forty
eight years of age. So far as his
work Is concerned, it might be said
that he had only fairly begun. 1t is
to be regretted that he could not have
been spared to see the fruition of the
cause for which he labored so long.

POPE Plus AND PEACE.

Pope Plus is said to be engaged in
writing an encyclical to be issued
Aug. 8. the tenth anniversary of his
elevation to the chair Of Peter, In
which he will set forth a plan for in
ternational peace. 1t is said that he
will call upon archbishops, and bish-
ops of the Catholic Church every
where to use their influence to bring
about permanent international peace
There is no doubt Of the interest of
the Holy Father in the furtherance of
world peace. He would like to see it
realized and is doubtless ready to use
his good offices toward it's realization.
But there Is a question about the ex-
tent to which he will take the initia-
tive In urging nations to make peace
compacts. The Pope knows that
peace is no more likely to be attained
through the medium of alliances than
divorce in non-Catholic churches is
to be prohibited by the nature of the

Catholic Church in the peace move
ment is not Of the kind that tends to
compel peace by legislation and
agreements any more than its inter-
est in the temperance movement is
in the direction of prohibition.
The interest of the Church in the
temperance movement is in the direc-
ton of teaching the people to shun
liquor rather than to prohibit them
from getting it. There Is wide diff
ference between total abstinence and
prohibition. In treating of the peace
movement in his encyclical the Pope
will doubtless urge upon the nations
to enter into the spirit of Christian
ity which bids men to love one an
other. His peace propaganda will be

TRIBUTE TO IRISH IN ENGLAND.

At Plymouth, England, few days
ago John Redmond paid a high trib-
ute to the Irish in England for their
steadfastness and continued assist
ance In passing measures efrecting
the government of Ireland.
I'm the old bad days, now gone,
never to return" he said, "the lot Of
1rishmen in Great Britain was not a
very happy one and 1t required a good
deal of courage, constancy, fidelity and
high principle for the Irish people of
those times to proclaim their faith
here in England and to stand up for
their ideals for their country. We all
know that the fact we are on the eve
of final triumph of Home Rule is due
In large measure to the Irish people
of Great Britain. They have always
been a great power in this country,
and they are great power now, and
am sure that after Home Rule is
achieved, and when we Irish repre-

ment to endeavor with our local
knowledge, and with ample time at
cur disposal, to govern our country in
accordance with Irish ideals they will
remain great force on the side of
every democratic cause in this coun-
try"
What the Irish leader has said of
the faithfulness Of the Irish people of
Great Britain to Ireland might be said
with equal aptness Of the Irish in
America. And 1t is question If the
Irish in America do not deserve still
greater credit. The Irish in Great
Britain are nearer to Ireland and
know the conditions there better than
the Irish in this country can know
them. But, nonetheless, Irish Amer
leans have not faltered in their duty
to their mother country. For their
mendation.

SUMMER READING.

A glance through the leading month
ly and weekly periodicals for the
month of July can hardly fail to i'm
press on the reader that publishers
are agreed on one thing. They all
believe that pictures Of country scenes
and stories Of outdoor life is the kind
of matter that will appeal most to the
average reader. All the magazines
and all the weeklys that carry stories
rather than news make speciality of
this kind of reading during the sum-
mer.
A little consideration will reveal the
reason for this. It is the natural de-
duction from psychological law. We
are interested most in knowing about
the things that are snearest to us and
that affect US most. When the hot
weather bears down upon us we want
to know how hot It Is and how to get
cool. The thought Of GOODNESS natur-
ally suggests the woods, the streams,
the lakes and the open generally.
Anything that will l.. enlighten us on
how others are keeping cool is of in
terest to us. .sissa 80. ,a 49,.
= Then, there is'atk ,yacation idea.
Most people wanthtosge away from
the dust and heat of the city for a
time. during the summer months.
Again their interest Is attracted by
anything that tells of the woods,
streams and lakes. One man wants
to know where the best fishing is to
be found. another where the best
bathing can be had, and a third is in
terested in boating. And SO the. in
terest in outdoor life spreads.
The fact that the magazines run SO
heavily to this kind Of reading in
summer is a strong indication Of the
taste of the reading public. Whatever
may be said in criticism of magazines
and newspapers, it ! il nevertheless,
true that they respond to public SEN
timent. 1t is their business to make
the broadcast appeal possible. On their
ability to do this their financial sue
cess depends.

RIGHT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

The London Chronicle tells Of q re-
cent work published by DR.. Wilhelm
ostwald. professor Of chemistry in the
University of Leipzig, in which a plea
is made for the right Of man to
commit suicide. DR.. OSWALD is one
of the followers of Professor Haeckel
of Jena, the leader of the Monist
movement. Haeckel is a materialist
of the type that believes in everything
except God. To him there is nothing
in the world but matter. Soul and
body are one and both develop by
some process which Haeckel cannot
explain except that God has nothing
to do with 1t.

in the publishing world there was no
reason why it should not be used for

IRISH AGRICULTURE.


A group of Americans who have
gone to Europe to study agricultural
conditions have seen At to extend
their visit to Ireland. One thing they
will be certain to discover. That is
that Americans are welcome there.
But their study of the agricultural
conditions is not likely to be in vain.
Ireland has not had the opportunities
to develop its agricultural resources
as it should, owing to the plague of
landlordism. But the Irish people
have made the best of the opportuni-
ties at hand.
The yearly exports of Irish agricul-
tural products amount to 5000, 900, 900.
The amount consumed by the four
and quarter millions of people in
Ireland is estimated at $15O,OO0, 900.
The total value of the agricultural
products would therefore amount to
approximately $3.50, 100000.
The best beef in the world is pro-
duced in Ireland. A study of the con-
ditions shows that ingenuity and en-
terprise enter into the agricultural
development of the country. This is
to be noted especially in the southern
counties where the people are raising
potatoes to catch the London market
when the season is past there. This
results in bringing to the Irish grow
ers and dealers the highest market
price for their products.
The one thing to which this agri-
cultural development is due Is the
right of the people to own the land
on which they live. Under the sys-
tenn Of landlordism the soil naturally
was allowed to lose its fertility. The
man who rents land never knows how
long he is to be in a place and. con-
sequently, has little incentive to i'm
prove the soil. The man who owns
little farm takes the opposite view.
1t is to his interest to make the land
on which he lives as productive as it
can be made. He labors accordingly
to fertilize the soil. The change has
worked magic In conditions in the
country. The current Of Irish prog
ress is at the flow of the tide.

The shooting by Huerta's soldiers OF
the United States officer at Juarez
Mexico, was one of the events of the
week that threatened to precipitate
trouble between this country and
Mexico. It is not likely that war will
result, but the incident adds to the
seriousness Of the situation. The act
was undoubtedly done by irrespons-
ible persons. But just such acts have
been known to stir up no end of In

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE,
ST. PAUL, MINI.
OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL ApvAN-.
JAGES,

The College of st. Thomas contin.
ues to forge ahead steadily. Scarce
ly a dozen years ago its roster showed
an attendance of only two hundred
students; last year five commodious
modern buildings were taxed to hold
the six hundred and seventy students
who thronged it from all parts, and
plans for new buildings in view Of
further increase are under considera.
ton. To this remarkable growth
many causes contribute. st. Paul and
Minneapolis are the focus of vast
network of railroads, and every rail.
road brings students to their schools.
Colleges close to cities which are cen.
tiers of culture and commerce possess
educational advantages which parents
appreciate more and more. st. Thorn.
as is also favored in it's grounds, which
afford the spaciousness necessary for
all healthful recreation, as we'll as the
seclusion necessary for an institution
Of education.
1t Is, however, upon it's system Of
education, thorough and comprehe,
sive, that the College has established
its reputation. Those who wish to se-
cure liberal education choose
branches of learning that lead to tho
degree Of Bachelor of Arts or Bache-
lor of Science, while those who are
content with a high school course find
every branch in that curriculum with.
IN their reach. - Again, to. those wha
are DESTROYS Of entering the world OF
business commercial department
well manned and we'll equipped, guar.
antees training which comprises not
only the technical branches requisite
for commercial pursuits, but also those
branches which form part of a good
general education. Even young bows
who are not fit to enter the academic
or the commercial departments find a
preparatory course provided for them.
Thus st. Thomas offers a range Of
studies sufficiently wide to meet the
needs of various classes of students.
and at the same time exercises the
kind and careful supervision that re.
1ieves parents Of all the anxiety that
attends the education Of youth in it's
most critical years.
Perhaps the unique features of tho
College is the fact that it unites with
the moral training for which it il
distinguished, the training which the
best military schools of the country
offer to their students. st. Thomas
is military college. ranked by the
War Department among Glass "A"
schools. An officer of the unitsd
states army is deatiled by the secre-
tary of War for duty exclusively in
the College. The daily military drin
constitutes system of physical train
ing which cannot be surpassed, and
the code Of honor and the discipline
that characterize military schools de-
velops in the student the manly oual.
ties without which any system of edu.
cation is almost fruitless. 2e@
An important factor in the wonder-
ful growth and popularity Of st
Thomas is the moderate expense OF
which the College offers this rare com.
oination Of educational advantages.
