THE LIQUOR BUSINESS.

I believe it was Frances Willard
who stated that, "The liquor traffic is
simply one of profit" This being true,
says DR.. Poynton of Chicago, there is
no doubt but what every effort for
diminishing the sale Of liquors would
be met by powerful adverse interests.
To overcome this it would be neces-
sary for the national government to
make some compensation. This might
be done by purchasing outright the
holdings of those engaged i'm the manu-
facture Of all intoxicants and have alb
solute governmental control of their
sale or distribution. Upon first ap-
pearance such a movement would
seem to necessitate stupendous out
lay, and yet such an expenditure
even allowing for diminished internal
revenue-would soon be Offset by the
saving in building and up-keep Of a
great number of insane asylums, poor
houses, criminal courts and penal in
stitutfons. When we reflect further
that the earning capacity of moderate
users of alcohol is diminished twenty
per cent-a fact that was SO ably
demonstrated few years ago by a
committee of scientists, who made
long and careful investigation Of every
phase of the subject, their tests ex-
tending to nearly every possible avo-
cation, from the highest salaried posi-
ton down to the unskilled laborer, we
may form some estimate of the produc-
tive loss which is sustained through
even moderate alcoholism. If some of
the numerous saloons, upon which
nothing is spared to make attractive.
could be replaced by equally attractive
places of refreshment, where NO in
toxicants would be sold, what a
blessing would accrue TO humanity.

LADDER OF REFORM.

Bishop Greer is reported to have
invented a ladder of reform of the
social evil. The first rung is to be
legislation; the second, the power
Of public opinion; the third, the
influence of the church on the
general morals of the community.
Evidently, innocence and purity
will perch quietly at the top of the
ladder. 1t would seem that this
is poor way to institute such a
reform. This terrible evil is due
to the lack of sincere religion,
first, last, and all the time. You
can never legislate innocence into
person, though you may punish
him for certain violations Of the
moral code. Neither is public
opinion of much use, since public
opinion is frequently capable of
being resolved into human respect,
which too often produces but a
veneer on the surface Of human
conduct. Public opinion is about
the only standard Of morals Of too
many people at the present day ;
for them morality is simply pro-
priety, good form; translated into
concrete words it means: Such
and such a thing is all right, but
don't be caught at it; it's bad
form to be caught. Religion is
not rung of the ladder, not even
the principal one: it is the whole
ladder. You can corrupt legisla-
ton, and legislators themselves by
the score; you can mold public
opinion, as the male-modistes of
Paris continually mold public
opinion with regard to dress, with
it's frequent violations of the most
elemental laws of modesty; but
you cannot corrupt or mold re-
ligious teaching when that teach
ing is based on the pure doctrine
of Christ s example and command.
The trouble with our separated
brethren is that they are so often
engaged in building ladders, or
preaching on subjects taken from
the realm of botany, zoology, pale
anthology, or literature, that they
forget to insist OF the pure law
of the Gospel. Anything will fur
nish them text, from the denial
of hell to the notoriety achieved
by a shirt-sleeve performance in
the pulpit; they are the greatest
religious acrobats Of the ages.
The Hanlon brothers would be
mere pulling infants compared to
our ministerial airmen cutting up
their antics and capers before
high heaven.

The Catholic Register thus ex-
presses itself with reference to the
English female suffragettitis ques-
ton:
Those English judges and juries
are a dense, stupid lot. They
can't see the obvious distinction
between a crime which is COM
mitted for the promotion of
female independence and more
plebeian crime committed to keep
body and soul together.
Two cute little English girls did
nothing except commit arson and
destroy hundred thousand dol
lars worth Of property. A
thoughtless English Judge treated
them as if they were criminals,
when, in point Of fact, they were
trying to prove that they were
patriots and reformers.
He has no imagination, no acute
perceptions, no power of dis
elimination. He sticks to his old
laundering habit Of treating all
men and women as equal before

erations should have no influence
in a matter where the Church has
so definitely set the seal of her
disapproval. The personal delin-
quency is here enhanced in that a
pernicious example is set to Cath
olics who may be weak or waver-
ing in their faith. The Knights of
Columbus are as noble an organi-
cation as we have in America to-
day. There is no necessity there
fore for a Catholic to turn his coat
inside out and march as a son OF
Khorassan. Columbus was a
Catholic; Khorassan smacks OF
the Zend Avesta.

MARQUETTE
A PIONEER EXPLORER OF THE
MIGHTY MIssIssIPPI-DIED ON
SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN AT
THE AGE or THIRTY-EIcHT.

Among the statues Of famous char
acters in American history ranged in a
circle round the walls Of Statuary Hall,
in the National Capitol, none takes its
place more worthily in the American
Pantheon than that of the heroic
Jesuit priest, Father James Marquette,
placed there by the State of Wiscon-
sin. No nobler spirit among the heroic
sons of Catholic France who came to
the wilds of America to spread the
light Of Christian civilization among
the savage tribes ever entered upon
the hazardous mission from loftier or
holier motives, and. none left to
posterity a more edifying example.
The Marquettes represented one of
the noblest families of France, the
family seat being situated near the
city of Laon, where James Marquette
was born in the year 1887. His pious
mother, Rose De La Sale, was rela-
tive of the venerable La Sale, the
founder Of the Brothers of the
Christian Schools. At the age of
tWenty-one years he was ordained a
priest of the Jesuit Order He was
sanguine to enter the missionary field,
and in 1866 he went to Quebec, and
was assigned to the mission of Three
Rivers, to study the Algonquin and
Huron languages for a time before
entering on the Lake Superior mis-
sions.

BRILLIANT FETE OF PYTHI
ANS TONIGHT" i

In the above words was an
nomced the parade and other
festivities that accompanied the
recent Pythian celebration in
Minneapolis. The Knights of
Khorassan marched, three thou
sand strong, and with them
marched, we are reliably in
formed, some of our Catholics.
Now, of all the strange sights in
this day of religious and mental
acrobatics it were indeed difficult
to find a more inconsistent one
than a parade of Pythians and
Catholics. Non-Catholics have a
perfect right to belong to this or
ganization, and with them we
have no question whatsoever But
for intelligent Catholics to take
public part in the celebration of
an organization to which Catho-
lies are strictly forbidden to give
their names, seems little short of
the incredible. The Catholic
Church has stringent law which
forbids her members joining or
participating in the ceremonies of
heretics, infdels or organizations
that are under her ban We are
not instituting a quarrel with the
Pythians or other societies, but we
emphatically remind our Catholics
Of their obligation in this matter.

Inmates whom he has visited.
"Out of 342 disunited families,
counted 800 whose members never
attended Mass on Sundays; out of

despair and dishonor of their
families, twelve only were church
goers; out of % bankrupts, not
one went to Mass; out Of forty
stores which opened their doors
on Sundays, not ten of them were
really prosperous; out of twenty
five children who had no respect
for their parents, twenty-four had
not made their Easter duty since
their first Communion. | was
Mortified at these figures, and

this world, the rebels who abandon
and despise Him and profane His
most sacred laws. +"

FROM EDITORIAL sANCTUM
TO EPISCOPAL THRONE
GERMAN EDITOR BECOMES
BISHOP.

The Rev. Sigismund Waltz, editor
of the Christian Social Chronicle, of
Brixen, in the Tyrol, was this month
consecrated Bishop. The new prelate
was born in Brixen in 1864, and COM
pleted his studies at the University of
Innsbruck. For eight years he edited
the Chronicle, and in the following
words he sums up his editorial expert
ences, a statement that will be sub
scribed to by every Catholic editor.
journalistic work is very often I'M
gratefully received by the public. 1t
would be wholesome for those who
glance through paper and then criti-
CHE it, to take service for six months
in an editors Office The public can
of an editor or his staff He must
know all and be everywhere. A French
magazine goes by the name of Je sails
tout-this is what the public expects
from every Catholic paper. There is,
too, an enormous responsibility in the
direction of newspaper because its
influence is so powerful nowadays. 1t
often happens that an editor writes
an article into which he puts all his
knowledge, experience and energy, and
finds it treated with contempt, scarce
1y read, and flung aside. l do not
wonder that many editors grow old
early and that there are many TRACE
dies of overWork in the journalistic
profession, bringing in their train
heart disease and sudden death.
Scarcely another profession is respon-
sible for SO much heart and nerve
trouble as that of the newspaper man,
whose troubles and whose trials
have learned to rightly estimate.

would not reach the standard set
by the true Church, but they
would be an improvement on the
purely Goddess schools that are
now sowing the wind only to
reap the whirlwind in a short
time: yea, they are now reaping
it. In this way, with the greater
freedom given to Catholics and
the advantage to non-Catholics in
having their religion taught to
their children, a healthier moral
atmosphere would soon sweep
over the land. The purest atmo-
sphere would proceed from the
Catholic school, the foulest from
the Goddess school, while less
foul tone would be apparent in the
Protestant camp.
Some writer's, in good faith,
seem to have confused this ques-
ton with the other one as to the
relative usefulness Of Catholicism
and Professionalism. There is no
relativeness when we speak of re-
ligion as such: the Catholic stands
alone without the possibility of
comparison.
Germany has it's confessional
schools, Canada has a form of
State recognition, England, under
the leadership Of Cardinal Bourne,
is fighting for the same recogni-
ton, and America is wasting its
strength in side issues: issues that
have their Importance, it is true,
but that are not in the least the
main grievance. Would it not be
much better to aim at state OF
legislation that would enable all
forms of belief to have their own
schools where some kind of re-
ligious training would be given
than to use up so much energy in
questions that could be better
settled after the main issue has
been clearly defined? 1t is wrong
and un-American to read the
Protestant version of the Bible il
schools that are attended by those
who do not believe in such read
ing; and Catholics do well in OPP
posing this imposition, so do Jews
do well in opposing it. IF Cath
olics however would unite on the
broader question, a better under
standing would prevail, greater
results would be obtained, and the
torrent Of immortality if not
turned aside completely, would al
least be reduced to the state of &
brooklet.

An exchange tells us Congress
has printed volume of prayers.
1t is book of 1877 pages, made up
of some of the prayers which the
Rev. DR.. Henry n Couden, the
Universalist chaplain Of the House
of Representatives, has addressed
to God, the Congressman and the
press galleries since his appoint
ment to his present sinecure.
Speaker Champ Clark has prefxed
an introduction to it. If it was
the work of real clergyman, of
a Catholic priest, it would be de-
nounced by the patriotic" So
cieties as union of Church and
State. In that case the Guardians
of Liberty would have a fit.
General Miles would have nine
days spasm of patriotism But
as it is the work of Protestant
minister, it is all right for Con-
gress to use public money to print
it.

"Eugenics, and Euthanasia, and
Sex Hygiene in the schools.
These are some Of the latest phases
of Reformation error" remarks
The Casket. :'Catholics have no
place for them whether going by
the old name, or with new labels
attached. Eugenics involves med
ding with the birth of man; Sex
Hygiene involves vast dangers to
his moral life; and Euthanasia
hastens him out of the world to
avoid his final illness or agonies.
The first two, as now preached
and understood, are just dirt
dangerous dirt with whitewash
over it and the last is just muir
der without any attempt at justi-
fication, either legal or moral. +"
