OF course this still is the case in
some instances. But, sss a rule. John
Jones trades where he feels he is
doing best for his pocketbook. The
merchant who gets his trade is the
one that presents his case in con-

he knows Jones by sight or not There
are exceptions. but as rule it is the
merchant who advertises intelligently
who gets the patronage of the more
intelligent customers, those who read

ENCOURAGE EXTENSION.

The last issue of the Extension
Magazine carries the seventh annual
report of the President of the
Catholic Church Extension Society
An impressive item in the report !
that which announces the building of
ninety-three chapels by the society
in its past fiscal year. Since its or
ganization seven years ago the
society has been instrumental I In
erecting $50 chapels, mostly in the
South and West. The President OF
the society in his report makes a re-
mark the truth of which must be
felt by evsryone who has noted the
Growth Of hA-~n4sssonary spirit in
the United States in recent years
The society, he says, has done some
thing which can not be measured
dollars and cents. 1t has awakened
the missionary spirit on the part OF
our people and made them see y
necessity Of supporting causes other
than those under their eyes. Every
missionary cause in the United States
was benefited by the establishment
of Church Extension. The enthusiast
tic way we went at it put greater
enthusiasm into them, to the ma
terial benefit of the causes repre-
sented. So that the last sever
years in the history of the Catholic
church of the United States have
been the greatest seven years fol
missions. The Extension Magazine
which has become one OF the great
organs of opinion in this country
and whose assistance has been OF
incalculable value, is deserving OF
the encouragement now being
accorded Il.

DEMOCRATS
VIII Name 2,179 Precinct
Committeeman Jam
uary 10.

Under the terms of a resolution
that became a part of the organic
law Of the Democratic party at the
State convention in this city last
May new County Committees are to
be chosen in each of the 120 counties
of the State on Saturday, January
IS. The Democratic voters in each
Of the 2,179 voting precincts Of the
State are to meet at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon of the date specified. The
retiring Precinct Committeeman or,
should there be a vacancy existing,
some qualified Democrat designated
by the County Chairman, will call
the meeting to order and state the
purpose of the meeting. The Pre-
cinct Committeeman so selected by
the voters are to serve until another
State convention shall specify when
and how their successors shall be
chosen. On the Monday following
their election, which will be January
20, the Precinct Committeeman will
meet at their various county seats
and organize by selecting a Chair
man and Secretary. In those counties
containing more than one Legisla-
tive district the Precinct Committee
men for each Legislative district will
organize by selecting a Chairman
and Secretary. Calls for the precinct
meetings are now being circulated by
the various County Chairmen.

PRISON CONTRACT LABOR.

Public sentiment against contract
labor in prisons is growing. The
Booher bill, which provides for the
abolition Of such labor in Feleral
penitentiaries, is now pending In
Congress and will probably be
fayorably reported by the Judiciary
Committee of the United States
Senate. It is likely to pass. Wher-
ever there has been a radically
honest investigation of contract
labor in prisons this has been con-
demned. As the Catholic Columbian
points out, 1t tends not to reform
the convicts, but TO brutalize them.
It saps their strength to make
profits for the contractors. II
places them and their welfare sub
ordinate to the interests of the
outside business that has contracted
for them like so many machines.
Their health, their right to humane
treatment, their self-respect, their
hope Of reform are all subordinated
to the greed of the contractors to
make more money.

PRESIDENTS
Only Ten States Have Had
Honor of Filling
office.

In only one respect can Virginia
still be properly called the Mother
OF Presidents-onlya as to the number
of years Virginians occupied the
executive office, not as to the num-
Der of residents of Virginia elected
to the Presidency or succeeding to
the Presidency. Since the beginning
of the Government Presidents have
been taken from only ten States
Virginia, Massachusetts,, Tennessee,
New York, Ohio, Louisiana, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Indiana. There have been five
from Virginia. New York and Ohio;
three from Tennessee, two from
Massachusetts and Illinois, and one
from New Hampshire, Louisiana,
Pennsylvania and Indiana.
IL was a remarkable fact that at
the end Of President Roosevelt's
term, March 4, 1909, New York had
had the Presidency about nineteen
years out of the twenty-eight since
the Inauguration OF President Car
field in 1SS1-the period covered by
the White House service OF Arthur,
Cleveland and Roosevelt. Still more
remarkable is the fact that at the
end of President Taft's present term,
March 4, 1913, New York and Ohio
will have had the Presidency thirty
two out of the thirty-six years since
the Inauguration of Hayes. Probably
most remarkable Of all Is the fact
that Virginia. New York and Ohio
have held the Presidency seventy
three years Of the 1874 since the be-
ginning of the Government.

ENCOURAGES RECREATION.

Father Phelan, of the Western
Waterman, is an earnest advocate OF
healthful and innocent amusements
There never was a time in this coun-
try, he asserts, when people were so
bent on amusements as now. And
the character of the amusements
offered Is on the whole healthy and
innocent. He also insists it is one
Of the first duties of civilization to
minister to the joys of the people.
The Catholic church has always
fostered innocent popular amuse-
ments. The history of the growth
and prosperity of the church in this
country is intertwined with parish
festivities. In the good old days
parishes had their festivals and
bazars, and all classes of the people
took part in them. Then for quar-
ter of century there was lull and
the parishes did not come together
as of yore to have pleasant
evening. Commencing the general
disposition manifest to make parish
entertainments uplifting as we'll as
popular, the venerable st. Louis
priest editor adds:
"For several years past the people
of the parishes have been singing
and dancing together on an average
of once a month. We never had,
even in the palmiest days Of our
parish festivities, anything like the
number of festivals that are nov
being held all over the city. And
we hear on every hand that good
has resulted. Young people meet
each other under conditions favor
able to honest and honorable
courtship, and the number of mixed
marriages is on the decrease in con
sequence. The bond of common
faith is strengthened, and the out
look for happy domestic Catholic life
is broadened and frightened. As
the theaters have felt the ruinous
competition Of the picture shows, Sc
now the picture shows find their
receipts seriously impaired by the
prevalence Of the parish festivities. y

FATHER CRANEY.
Popular and Loved Priest
transferred to St.
Cecilla's.

The Rev. Robert Craney, who is
we'll remembered as an assistant to
the lamented Father Lawler at st.
Patrick's church, this city, but for
quite a number of years the beloved
pastor of st. Anne's congregation at
Morganfield, has been transferred to
st. Cecilia's church to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Rev.
Andrew j. Brady. Father Craney
was ordained twenty-eight years ago
at the same time that the Very Rev.
James P. Cronin, present pastor of
st. Patrick's church and Vicar Cen
eral of the diocese, was ordained. He
is fifty-three years of age. While
his former parishioners regretted his
departure they are rejoiced that he
comes to a larger and more impor-
tant charge. His last mass at st.
Anne's was largely attended and
Father Craney's farewell sermon was
very touching, especially when he
referred to his affection for his
people and called attention to the
fact that a large per cent. of them
have received from him all three
sacri ments of baptism, communion
and marriage. He has recently
caused to be erected there a large,
handsome day school. dream OF
many years. Father Rehm. native
of Stithton, but for some time past
stationed at Lebanon, has been sent
to st. Anne's by Bishop O'Donaghue
and the people will rejoice over his
appointment. Father Craney will
at once take charge of st. Cecilia's,
and will likely celebrate mass there

CHURCH UNITY OCTAVE.

For the sixth time The Lamp is
sues its call for the observance OF
the Church Unity Octave from the
feast OF st. Peters Chair at Rome,
January IS, to the feast Of the Con
version of st. Paul, January 20.
Every year the Importance Of OBJ
serving this octave increases because
every year It becomes more impera-
tive that all Christians should clearly
recognize the Chair Of Peter as the
divinely constituted center Of unity
and that the Separatists Of the East,
as we'll as the Professionals OF the
West, instead Of any longer fighting
against God by opposing the Papacy,
should return to communion with
the Apostolic See and thereby give
such a demonstration Of Catholic
unity that the whole world would
believe and, PROSTATE at the feet of
Christ, cry aloud with st. Thomas,
"My Lord and my God!" The Church
Unity Octave has received the
sanction and blessing Of the Holy
Father, Cardinals, Archbishops,
Bishops and priests. The way in
which II may be observed is by
prayer and daily or frequent holy
communion on the part of the faith
full generally, offered to the Sacred
Heart for the fulfillment of his
PRAYER. "That all may be one"

CUTS DEBT.
Father McGoVern's SpIen-
did Work During Past
Year.

Very Rev. Father McGovern,
Prior of st. Louis Bertrand's church,
read his financial statement for the
year 1919 at all the masses last
Sunday and every member of the
congregation was more than pleased
with the splendid progress made to-
ward wiping out the debt, which has
been standing for many years.
Father McGovern's report showed
that at the beginning of the year the
total debt amounted to $25,623 and
that $12,025 had been paid on this
amount, leaving a debt of $13,59S
at the beginning Of the present year.
This amount the reverend pastor
hopes to decrease greatly or wipe
out entirely this year and therefore
urges the congregation to work
faithfully to that end. Father Nc
Govern has been untiring in his
labors and has the satisfaction Of a
record year in the Dominican parish.

PRINTING
Has Been Fostered by Vat
lean Since Fifteenth
Century.

The Vatican printing office, which
has been equipped with the latest
Mergenthaler linotype machines,
from which were printed the first
edition of the "Psalterium Breviarii
Romani," is one of the most perfect
to be found. Following is an inter-
esting bit of history of the office and
its institution sent the Mergenthaler
Company by Signor ]. Nelson Banks,
manager of the Soeieta Linotype
Italiana, whose office is at Milan:
"The Tipografia Poliglotta Vati-
cana was founded by Pope Sixtus ".
who thus became one of the earliest
introducers of the printing art into
Italy The first printing office,
however. was not in the Vatican,
but was installed in a convent at
Subiago, near Rome, and II appears
that it was there that two German
brothers, apprentices OF Gutenberg,
first taught the art Of printing, under
the protection Of Sixtus V. Shortly
afterward the printing office was
removed to the Vatican and installed
over the Pontifical law courts,
where II remained until the Access
sion of the present Pope Plus X. The
latter, recognizing the necessity OF
undermining the institution, had the
present building erected, equipped
It with the latest and best machinery
and appliances, and placed II under
the able management of Comm.
Pasquals Scotti. The library OF the
printing office is most interesting,
and its exhibits form complete
chain in the progress Of printing
from the fifteenth century to the
present day Here may be seen, for
Instance. books printed on hand
presses from type held together by
a poker passed through each sep
arate character"

LOURDES.
.rsh Catholics Preparing
For Great National
Pilgrimage.

Catholics of Ireland have received
with pleasure the announcement that
with the approval of the Arch
bishops and Bishops a great national
pilgrimage to Lourdes is about to be
organized and will take place next
September. Many Irish Catholics
have of course joined in the annual
pilgrimage to this famous shrine In
the South Of France, but this will be
the first national pilgrimage spe-
cially organized from Ireland. At
their last general meeting the
Bishops unanimously approved OF
the project and Cardinal Logue has
stated that he hopes TO accompany
the pilgrims. Already an Organizing
Committee. representative Of every
diocese in Ireland, has been formed
and there can be no doubt that the
project will be warmly supported by
Irish Catholics.
