DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
TO AVOID SIN AND PRACTICE
VIRTUE.

We are not placed in the world to
avoid sin, but to practice virtue, to
work out our salvation, as something
that requires great attention and eff
fort, with fear and trembling; striving
by good works to make our calling
and election sure; never counting
what we have attained already, but
striving that if by any means we may
attain to the end to which we are
called.
There is no general law forbidding
man to drink, but if only those are

COLUMBUS DAY.

At the present session Of the
State Legislature a bill was intro
duced making October IL a legal
holiday to be known as Columbus
Day. The Bill never emerged be-
yond the committee stage. A
similar attempt was made two
years ago with like result. These
efforts are in line with what has
already been done in thirty states
of the Union where Columbus
Day is a legal holiday.
The making of the day on which
Columbus set foot on the shores
of the Western Hemisphere a
legal holiday, is a tribute to his
memory and a recognition Of an
event of great Importance, not
only to America, but to mankind.
There is no reason why "Dis-
covery Day" should not be made
the occasion Of a civic celebration
in which all citizens could join.
Owing to peculiar circumstances,
however, the setting apart Of Octo-
Der II as a legal holiday is con-
strued by many as a tribute to
Catholics and recognition of the
fact that one of their co-religion-
lists discovered America. Hence,
in many places where Columbus
Day is legal holiday the observ-
ance of it with proper solemnity
is usually left to Catholics under
the auspices of the Knights Of
Columbus. In the course of time
this annual celebration is like
ly to become a burden to the
Knights of Columbus and to
Catholics in general. Tt may be
questioned whether or not it is
wise to impose this obligation
upon them. We are inclined to
counsel our Catholic legislators
to go slowly in this matter and
not allow patriotic or religious
sentiments to obscure the practi-
cal considerations which should
not be lost sight of. We would
not like to see Columbus Day
made a legal holiday if it is to
be regarded purely as a conces-
sion to Catholics.

A LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

The argument that the railroad has
right, in behalf of its own interests
and in behalf of the public, to forbid
its employees to drink is based upon
facts that will support much more
far-reaching argument, says the Vim
dicator. The relation of the drinking
of railroad men to the public welfare
is no closer and no more easily
demonstrated than the relation of the
whole drink traffic to public welfare.
The direct fruit Of the drink traffic is
drunkenness, with incompetencys
poverty and vicious habits and tenden-
cies on the part of a multitude of
drinkers. The whole public suffers
from this. Honest citizens are an
noyed and injured at every turn. And,
If the railroad may forbid its en-
ployees to drink, the same logic will
insist that society may forbid it's MEM
bers to SELL

This year the seventeenth of
March falls on the Monday of
Holy Week. On account of the
sacred character of this final
week of the Lenten season the Ii

gard and, out of respect for Holy
Week, have no civic or social
celebrations of any kind. It
would be entirely unbecoming to
usher in the solemnities Of Holy
Week by indulging in the social
festivities tolerated on the seven
teenth of March. We hope, there
fore, that any celebration of ST.
Patrick's day contemplated this
year will be postponed until after
Lent. The sons of the Gael and
their descendants owe it to them
selves as well as to their co-relig-
ionists not to make provision for

the world" as accurately as the
facts warrant he would have
reached different conclusion.
No religion worthy of the name
looks forward to a new teacher.
On the contrary, it looks back
ward through the centuries to a
divine teacher whose Gospel is
the keystone in the arch of God s
revelation to man. Not all the
so-called religions have handed
down the truths of Christianity
unalloyed with the dross of hu-
man thought, but those which
possess them even in a fragmen-
tary degree believe that they are
final and Interchangeable and that
no new teacher with message
intended to supplant the Gospel
of Christ will ever be accepted as
a trustworthy guide in spiritual
things. But novelty ever seeks
new expressions, and as long as
human knowledge dares to pit it.
self against eternal wisdom, so
long will religious vagaries find
disciples. St. Paul says: Though
we, or an angel from heaven,
preach a gospel to you besides
that which we have preached to
you, let him be anathema. !"

THE GALTIER MEMORIAL.

At a meeting Of the Junior
Pioneers of st. Paul held on Feb
ruary IL, a resolution was adopt
ed favoring the erection Of a
bronze statue to the memory of
the Reverend Lucien Galtier who
built the original log chapel Of
st. Paul from which the city de-
rives it's name.
Father Galtier was the first
resident Catholic priest at Men
dota, whence he attended the
scattered members Of his flock
who lived within the limits of
what is now the city Of st. Paul.
In 1841 he erected the first log
chapel for the accommodation of
this portion Of his flock on the
bluff overlooking the Mississippi
on what was afterward known as
Bench Street Hill. The site of
this chapel is pointed out at the
present time in the block bound
ed by Minnesota and Cedar
Streets and between Third Street
and the river.
The citizens Of st. Paul owe
it to themselves to erect a memo
rial to Father Galtier who gave
the city it's name. We hope that the
project launched by the Junior
Pioneers will meet with public
approval and that the movement
will be carried to successful
completion in the not distant flu
ture. Before anything definite
is done, however, decision
should be arrived at in regard to
the location of the memorial.
Some, no doubt, will wish to see
it placed on the site of the little
log chapel. They would like to
have the exact location pointed
out to future generations. But
the original site is surrounded by
warehouses and other unsighly
buildings, and a statue placed in
that location would not be visible
to the public. It would serve no
good purpose to erect it in this
out-of-the-way locality.
We believe the proper place
for the erection of a memorial to
Father Galtier is in the vicinity
of the new Cathedral where it
can be viewed by the public pass
ing along Summit Avenue. "a
location for it might be found in
the little park in which is erected
the monument Of the sons of Min
nesota who went forth to battle
for the preservation Of the Union.
That spot could be kept sacred to
the memory of the men who
played an important part in the

Among the Minnesota Repre-
sentatives, Mr.. Davis was the only
one who voted for the passage of
the Bill and for it's re-enactment
over the President g veto. Messrs.
Anderson and Lindbergh voted
to overrule the Presidents action.
Messrs. Volstead, Stevenson,
Hammond, Miller, Nye and
Stevens voted to sustain Mr..
Taft s veto. Representative Stew
ems explained his attitude on this
question by saying that in my
opinion this country needs just
such men as the iteracy test
sought to exclude. It needs them
for work in the country, for work
in the fields, for labor in the
mines, for the building of railroads
and in developing better wagon
roads.

Last year, following the sug-
gestion of National President Re-
gan, there was a grand national
parade of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and the Ladies' Aux
iliary on st. Patrick's day from
their meeting-places to the altar
rail where they received Holy
Communion in a body. This truly
Catholic demonstration did more
to emphasize their Catholicity
than any amount of civic process
sions and oratorical outbursts
could do. This year the National
President has sent out a similar
call and, no doubt, the response
will be even more gratifying.
The Hibernians of Ramsey
County intend to follow the Gus
tom inaugurated last year and
hold retreat in the Cathedral of
st. Paul preparatory to the re-
ception of Holy Communion in a
body on Sunday, March Is. We
hope every member of the Order
will attend these spiritual exer-
cises, even though it entails no
inconsiderable amount of per-
sonal sacrifice. IF the local divi-
sions can bring all their members
to the communion rail at the
close of the retreat, it will do
more to enhance their prestige as
loyal members of the Church than
any other work they may under
take. This is the true test of faith
and practical Catholicity, and all
Catholic societies worthy of the
name should aspire to measure
up to this standard.

WOULD RESTORE cANTEEN.

The question of the army canteen
is once more brought to the front by
Secretary Stimson's report on the
manners and the morals of the soldier,
says the San Francisco ArgOnaut.
Mr.. Stfmson tells us that he has
personally visited forty-nine of the
army posts. In every instance he
found nest of vile and filthy dives
just beyond the reservation gates, laid
and baited as traps for the damnation
of the soldier. He found, upon inquiry,
that diseases were claiming more vic
tins in the American army than in
any other army in civilization. And
Mr.. Stfmson has no doubt as to the
cause for this cruel and abominable
state of things. He tells us that It is
due to the abolition of the canteen
and to the fact that a maiden-aunt
legislation has driven the soldier into
these dens of iniquity where alcohol is
the very least of the evils that await
him. In the old days the soldier drank
beer in the army canteen, and pre-.
sumably it was good beer. He had
neither the temptation nor the oppor-
tunity to drink to excess, and still
less to debauch himself.
Mr.. Stimson has said no more than
his predecessors, and probably he has
said it just as fruitlessly. 1t is one of
the disheartening mysteries of our
civilization that a small organization
OF clamorous prejudices and ignor-
ances can outweigh in influence the
careful voice of prudent experience,
and that it is able to coerce a govern
mental authority that remains un-
moved alike by demonstrated fact and
by the warnings of knowledge and
intelligence. But it is just as well to
place upon record that the debauchery
Of the soldier is due far less to him
self than to the social pieties that are
mentally unable TO see things az they
are or to interpret them in the light
of reason.

ALCOHOL AND NURSING
MOTHERS.

The mother of a young child should
not touch alcoholic liquor In any
form, says DR.. J. Wallace Beveridge OF
Cornell University. Alcohol is not a
food. It does not supply to women the
nourishment of which at certain
periods of their lives they are in par
ticular need. On the contrary, the
mother of young child, who drinks
alcoholic beverages, even in their
mildest forms beer, ale and stout, for
instance the risk of absolutely
cutting of the supply Of food that
nature intended an infant to have. III
the supply is not entirely cut or the
quality IL SO impoverished that the
health OF the infant is ruined. The
bottle does not provide a means Of
avoiding the effects OF a mothers
drinking alcohol. Bottle-feeding does
not produce children that develop into
healthy men and women. Nature in
tended that infants should be fed IN.
