take against it.
A Roman consul was charged with
immoral dancing. Cicero was called
upon to defend him. Listen to his de
tense. "Such thing" he says
Cannot be believed in regard to a
consul, without making known the
vices to which he was subject before
giving himself over to this kind OF
excess. For no person dances immor
ally, either in private or public, unless
he is drunkard or fool"
To display his forensic eloquence
Cicero would need no material in pri
vate or in public were he now
amongst us. But he could not &C
cuse all our "raggers' as drunkards
though he could most certainly &C.
cuse them as fools. ..
And so much did immoral dancing
prevail in Rome that the great De.
mosthenes declared that Ito describe
woman without morals was to say
that she danced more elegantly than
became an honest woman" How
many women would Demosthenes now
find without morals? For does not

dance more elegantly, aye. and more
licentiously, than becomes an honest
woman?
So the voices of the pagan masters
come to US as a rebuke. They con-

How long shall the condition OF
our society be so deplorable?
How long must we look back to
the pagan for instruction? .-

Anani.. Not So Many.

Senator Claude A. Swanson Of vir-

Ananias was not so many, and told of

Philadelphia Telegraph.
In the corner grocery one day a
young farmer said that his colt had
beaten. the local train from Five Points
to town, distance of eight miles. An
other young farmer declared the stunt
wasn't much, considering the speed OF
some trains, and essayed to boast
about his own nag.

1.-THE Irish members will not have
much time to rest between now and
the re-assembling Of Parliament.
Most of them will have meetings in
Ireland to attend to almost immedi-
ately, and then their services will be
in constant requisition for the autumn
campaign in Great Britain, which will
be on big scale. A great number of
meetings have already been arranged,
including those to be addressed by Mr..
John Redmond, M. p, and other lead
ing members of the Irish party. There
will be meetings in all parts of En-
gland, as well as in Scotland and in
Wales, and the arrangements are al
ready we'll in hand. The utmost en-
thusiasm is being exhibited by Liber-
ais everywhere at the prospect of
these meetings, and splendid rally of
the Democratic forces in favor of
Home Rule is undoubtedly the most
popular cause in Great Britain today.

ness 80 far as any formal teaching In
concerned must be admitted, ana t.
their godlessness may be attributed
in part the deplorable license of our
times. But that godlessness has
never been by the will of the Ameri-
can people; it has been forced upon
them by sectarian animus which
would have religion in the schools
only on terms destructive to the
State, and at last to religion itself.
There is a way for the public schools
to furnish religious instruction for all
who will take it; that way will he
found when sectarian ambitions are
subordinated to the public veal;
signs are not lacking of the change Of
heart which will permit the reproach
to be removed from the schools of the
Republic. a reproach for which the
schools and the genius of our institu-
tions are in no way responsible.
1.-THE protest Of the Catholic con-
science against abominable dances is
worthy of note. Lessons may be
drawn from the protest; here Is one:
The Puritan when he fought for de-
mocracy in Church and State and for
the abolition of primitive heathenism
from the pleasures of the people, who
taught that a high spiritual vocation
was not for an occasional saint, but
for all mankind, was doing Catholic
work. This Is said in no bitter or
jesting mood. Catholic hands may
yet hang a Catholic chaplet upon
Adams statue of the Puritan, for
where is Catholicism's presence so
rsplete with honor and resources, or
its future so suspicious as in the
communities where the Puritan estab-
lished constitutionalism in the State,
universal:zed education, and set up in
the church the ideal Of real and
not merely putative holiness for
every man Of Catholic and Puritan
origin? Who fears. to claim unity for
them? Only selfishness and fear d.
vide them. Fair will this world be;
fair the prospects of humanity when
the last obstacle to their unity is
swept away. Since the first inaugu-
ration of Mckinley, the march Of
ideas has been rapid: Wilson and
Bryan have distanced the Progress
sives in pace set not by themselves.
Washington City is by no means to
retain within itself all the advance of
the new time. It is not to be So
cial and political and social and po-
litical only. Beliefs great days are
ahead, before and not behind, and a
Catholic Christianity uniting and not
dividing the hearts of men, extermi-
ating and not colonizing and culti-
waiting evil shall make gladder and
holier the heart of mankind"

Old Trinity Church to Be Demolished.
When old Trinity Church, known as
Trinity School, will be torn down
(Which is to take place shortly, the
oldest ecclesiastical building, and
probably the oldest building in the
District of Columbia will be demol-

on site which overlooked the Poto-
mac in the early days when its doors
were open to worshtppers, was erect
ed in 1888 by Father Francis Noalo.
No building in the District has seen
the history that the old Trinity has
seen. Georgetown College, which was
founded in 1889, year after the erec-
ton of this church, still has some of
its original buildings standing, but
its founding is in part due to the pio-
neers who first broke ground for the
church. When Georgetown was a
primitive settlement, Father Neale, in
company with Jealous band Of mem

public furnishes occasion for some
needed additional words. The story
is your two-and-a-h alf-colurnn ao-
count Of the convention of the Fed
Grafton of Catholic Societies of AM
erica in Milwaukee,. The American of
the future is determined and to be de-
termined by the course the Catholic
is to pursue. Interesting, therefore,
are the declarations Of the Church's
accredited spokesman upon the atti-
tude of the Catholic toward America.
These speeches sent forth to the world
are now of record and may be regard
ed as official. Therefore it is interest
ing to read that Archbishop Ireland
thanked God that the people of AM
erica are capable of maintaining a
government Of. for and by the peo-
pie; the convention then and there led
by the Archbishop, saluted the Repub-
the spokesman, pledged allegiance to
the United States. Archbishop Ire
lands word is as good as any mans,
and may be taken at face value. 1t
happens, however, that in such mat
tiers as these his word is the word
also Of soldier Of the Republic, for
he was in the Tenth Minnesota in the
war of 1861-1S65, and no soldier of
the Republic who laid down arms to
become servant of the Republic in
time Of peace can be presumed to have
rendered service Of greater disinter-
estedness and worth.
"a disquietude has broken out in
some non-Catholic circles about the
reliability Of Catholic citizenship in
these states. Since the first Cauca-
sian foot was set upon these shores
Catholicism has been part when it
has not been all Of America. And
history bears the record of no test
before which the Catholic citizenship
of the Republic has failed. And to
this broad historic fact that conven-
ton added yesterday the weight of
an official utterance, given forth on
an official occasion and in the face of
persistent challenges Of the good
faith of the Catholic Church and
masses. Let lovers of democracy put
away fear and thank God and take
courage.
Yes. let Democrats take courage,
for in The Church pledged and re-
pledged to Democracy, progress has
an asset of immeasurable value. upon
which 1t is already realizing in the
Church's antagonism toward divorce
and the intruding inmoralities Of
these new times. The strength of all
who love humanity for Christ's sake
is not too great to cope with the mis-
chief and errors Of the, worlds prac-
tees. There Is hope also in the atti-
tude of this convention toward the
public schools. Their godlessness is

AS we go to press, it ia stated that
the business men of West Duluth and
the West End are planning to inter-
vene and seek settlement of the
trouble.
Although the strike has been on
for two weeks, there has been a. no.
ticeable falling off in business in the
western portion Of the city, and it is
feared that prolonged strike will
seriously affect trade.
No attempt has been made By the
mill owners to resume operations.
The Scott-Graff mill has boarded up
Its windows and locked its yards, and
millwrights are making reference.
A mass meeting Of the strikers was
held at Vfctor's hall Wednesday
night, addressed by several we'll
known Socialists. A benefit ball was
to have been given last night at
Woodman hall, but 1t was postponed
until next Tuesday. It is said that
many of the strikers are seeking work
at other occupations. One mill, it il
said, has offered raise of 15 cents
