America, in an interview the other day, professed to
believe that the granting OF ballots to would
help out the liquor business. He declared the booze
interests vote would be trebled by suffrage.

This eminent authority was asked: what about

Most benehcent is this paternalism of the liquor
men. How beautiful the scheme whereby every

providers will furnish her with husband

a fuller knowledge of sacred truth
by making them more conyersant
with Catholic doctrine and prac-
tice, as well as with the history of
the Church and her activities
throughout the ages.
Wherever the book-rack has
been installed in the vestibules of
churches it has been found to
work very satisfactorily. 1t may
not always bring in the expected
returns from a financial stand
point, but if it is properly adver-
tised and well supplied with popu-
lar Catholic literature even these
will be not inconsiderable. Apart
from that, however, there is the
great good done by bringing about
a more widespread distribution of
Catholic literature and thereby en-
gendering a more intelligent
knowledge Of questions which are
of vital Importance to Catholics
at the present time.
Another good means of promot-
ing the spread Of Catholic litera-
ture is by selling Catholic papers
at the church doors on Sunday.
Wherever it has been. tried it has
been found to work well. It is
not difficult to secure a number of
boys who are willing to do this
work for the moderate compensa-
ton which it offers for their time
and labor. The Catholic Bulletin
can be had on Sunday at a num-
Der of churches in the Twin Cities
and elsewhere and we will gladly
make it worth any young mans
while to act as agent in his own
parish if he secures the approval
of his pastor.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
A DELUsIVE AGENT.

Recent results of experiments in
medical science have sounded the
death-knell of what is called moderate
drinking. From a scientific stand
point" says DR.. Victor Hershey, of the
University of London, the claim so
often put before us that small guam
titles of alcohol, such as people take
at meals, must have practically no
deleterious effect, cannot be main
tafned.' The same eminent physician
again tells US that repeated expert
ments have been made to discover
whether there is any certain limited
quantity of alcohol which can be taken
without disadvantage to the human
body; the result is that "it is quite
impossible to state that the smallest
given quantity of this drug is harm
less to our bodies" "a man." he
again declares, "who desires to use
his entire force on behalf of himself
or his fellowman can do so best and
longest. by entirely avoiding alcohol"
DIR. Salter, London, says: 'It is as
absurd to talk of it's value as an ar
SANAO w u1CI do IL WOuIu DG " CldSS
opium under the same head"
The idea SO popularity held and
practised, that there is safety in tax
ing it after the days work is DONE"
is a delusion, for Professor Kraepelin,
OF Heidelberg University, has shown
by actual demonstration that alcohol
causes a diminution of brain power
which lasts sometimes until the even
ing of the next day" Won Helmholtz,
the celebrated physicist of the nine
teenth century, declared that the very
smallest quantity of alcohol served
effectively, while it's influence lasted,
to Danish from his mind all possibility
of creative effort" And Schiller, the
great German poet, used to say, wine
never invents anything" SIN this
way" says DR.. Victor Horsley, "alco-
hol is shown to be a delusive agent,
thus proving the accuracy of Solo
mons statement that wine is a
mocker."

THE SPREAD OF H o


An association known as the
Catholic Literature League was
organized recently in Montreal at
the residence of Lady Kingston
on Sherbrook Street, for the pur-
pose of distributing throughout
the Dominion good Catholic litera-
ture at a nominal price.
The establishment of this
League is the result of a visit
made to Montreal some weeks ago
by Ambrose Willis, managing di-
rector Of the London "Tablet, =
and organizer of the English Cath
Ollie Reading Guild, which is en-
gagged in a similar line of work.
As a means of carrying on this
work the Association will place
book-racks, in churches, schools,
colleges, and other public places,
and keep them supplied with
Catholic books, pamphlets and
publications, at a low price. For
this purpose it will use the publ
cations Of the Catholic Truth So
cieties of England, Ireland, Aus
tralia, and the9United States, as
well as Catholic magazines, news
papers, etc. Later on the League
may undertake to publish pamph-
lets if the project meets with the
success which it anticipates.
This movement cannot fail to be
productive of good results. The
need of a wider distribution of
sound Catholic literature is felt on
every hand and the only question
is how to reach the largest num-
Der Of people and supply them
with popular Catholic literature

tions made by the Roman Catholic
Church, in the various Ecumenical
Councils, union between the three
churches was not difficult, SO long as
they were of one accord to submit
themselves sincerely and u~nreserved-
ly to the judgment which the Uni
versal Church itself should in future
pronounce; If they all united in the
supreme dictum of the whole Church,
no church would feel itself offended,
and the truth receive no injury
thereby. But now that the decisions
have been irrevocably pronounced,
what further way a be found to
secure the supreme authority of the
Roman Catholic Church. How can
we, as it were, put in doubt what
has been declared undoubted and in
dubitable? The more | think of 1t, the
more l feel my heart wrung, as | see
the impossibility of finding a way out
of so terrible a difficulty. We Catho-
lies cannot suffer that to come in
question which we have declared to
be the truth. We should be trail
tors to our faith. But you, my other
brothers, especially you English, you
have not the insuperable difficulty
which exists for us. because you have
not, strictly speaking, adopted any
dogmatic definition since your separa-
ton. We have the definition behind
us, we have the impossible abyss,
you have it not. Come over the gulf
to us: we will forthwith throw our
arms about your neck, we shall all
be sons of the same Mother, and OF
the same Father who is in heaven;
and quickly the earth shall be
changed, and the great ship of the
united Church will sail in safety upon
the troubled waters, and gather in the
millions of scattered sons throughout
all the coasts. What joy! What an
event for the Church of Christ!
There will be neither winners mol
losers; neither humbled o those
who humble; we shall be all brothers
Meanwhile, let us be united, if not
in the same faith, in the same char
ity, and PROSTATE before our common
Savior, Jesus Christ, let us pray that
His will be done-His will that all be
saved!"

c | ARMY TESTS.

1t is recorded Of Lord Wolseley,
says Everybody's Monthly, that in one
of his campaigns he put the question
OF teetotalism to a practical test. At
the beginning of a long march, which
would necessitate several weeks to
complete, he divided a body OF men
into three companies. To the first he
gave a daily ration of whisky, to the
second a daily ration OF beer, and to
the third water. The whisky contin-
gent was easily first for a short time.
and then was overtaken by the beer
company. Soon, however, the water
drinkers, marching steadily, forged
ahead, passed both the whisky and
beer men, and reached their destination
long before the others. A similar test
made by the famous army surgeon,
DR.. Parkes, showed that soldiers
marching twenty miles each day with
gun, knapsack, etc., for six days
marched much better on the days
when they had coffee on tea than when
given brandy and water.

In the current issue of the Cath
Ollie University Bulletin, the Rev.
G. F. Cremin, S. T. L., of st. Paul
Seminary, has an interesting and
instructive article on Glow the
Three Thousand Were Convert
ed" In it he shows that the con-
ditions Of faith and of member
ship in the Catholic Church were
the same in the early days as they
are now. He gives an analysis OF
the motives that brought about
the conversion from Judaism to
Christianity of the three thousand
who listened to the words Of ST.
Peter on the first Pentecost. He
deals with the motives of credi-
bility urged by st. Peter to beget
faith in the minds of his hearers,
namely, the miracles Of Christ as
attested by the Apostles and the
fulflment of the prophecies in
Christ. In a subsequent article,
he will deal with the conditions of
membership or the rite of inaugu-
ration into the Christian, Church
and point out what, in addition to
faith, was necessary in order to
constitute these converts full dis
ciples of the Master and to en-
sure their eternal salvation.

and is an infallible method of rem
dering them miserable later on in
life. 1.-THE happy child is the one
under firm and loving control
the one that has learned to obey
without hesitation or question the
one that trusts its mother and
feels unconsciously that obedience
is required for good reason, and
that when an indulgence is denied
it is not for want of affection.
To Catholic mothers of the little
ones Of today it should not be
necessary to point out the fact
that their task of properly train
ing their children has been ma
~terially facilitated by the action Of
the Sovereign Pontiff in the mat
ter of admitting those little ones
to frequent and daily Holy Com
munion. The evil propensities
which original sin has left in these
young natures will most readily
yield to the all-holy influence of
the divine Visitant present in
their hearts; and when this fire.

Lord is supplemented with a ten

Blessed Mother, parents may well

AN REPORT.

Last week the Diocese of St.
Paul purchased the Berkey home
stead adjoining the new Cathe-
dral site on the rear. AS soon as
the transaction was made public
a reporter lowered with a fertile
imagination jumped to the con-
clusion that this property was Sc
cured for the purpose Of erecting
a magnificent residence" for the
Most Reverend Archbishop.
The statement to this effect Civ
en- in the daily press is absolutely
without foundation. The addi-
tional ground thus added to the
Cathedral site was necessary to
give sufficient room for the cree
ton of a heating plant for the new
Cathedral. The Berkey residence
will be remodelled and renovated
and used as a residence for the
clergy of the Cathedral parish, for
some years at least. All that was
said about a new Archiepiscopal
residence is purely imaginary
The Most Reverend Archbishop
has no intention of building a
home adjoining the new Cathe-
dral. He will continue to reside
in his modest residence at 977
Portland Avenue as long as he
lives.

DRINK N CRIME.

Speaking of two classes of crimi-
mails, viz, those of occasion, and re-
~cidivists, DR.. Won Hoelder says:
Criminals of occasion are those
who become so from levity, passion,
imprudence, unfavorable surroundings,
and, above all, drink" According to
DR.. Bauer, an eminent authority
seventy per cent of all crime comes
from alcohol. And this estimate, ac-
cording to more modern statistics, as
we shall just see, is rather below than
above the reality.
At the recent sessions of the
American Society for the Study of
Alcohol and other Drug-Narcotics, it
was declared that "the alcohol prob
lem is more important than the
tuberculosis problem, because it
causes the loss of more lives and of
more money" The civilized world
stood aghast at the ravages of the
white plague. In a single year one
fifth Of a million of Americans had
fallen victims to this dread disease,
while throughout the world a million
and a half persons were claimed by
the same grim hand. It's cost to the
United States alone was estimated at
two hundred and forty millions per
annum. Astounding and incredible as
are these mormon figures, they are
only surpassed by those of that other
and more terrible plague-alcoholism.
Nor do | exaggerate. The learned
Society just quoted showed that al
cohol costs the United States annually
two thousand millions of dollars
$4,000, 900, 000), and causes more than
ten per cent of all the deaths in the
country. Nor is this all. The latest
results of a critical study of the effects
of alcohol show that the record of it's
evil is appalling. The testimony Of
prison chaplains, of wardens, sheriffs,
and judges of the criminal courts,
warrants the assertion that from
eighty to ninety per cent of crime is
directly or indirectly traceable to the
use of intoxicating liquors. Ninety
per cent of the women arrested" says

A very impressive and edifying
sight was witnessed last Sunday
afternoon when four hundred men
of the parish of st. Michael made
their Jubilee visits publicly. They
assembled at st. Michael's Church
at three o'clock and thence pro-
ceeded in a body to the Cathedral
Of st. Paul and to the Church of
the Assumption in each of which
they made the two visits pre-
scribed for the gaining Of the Jul
bilee indulgence. They then re-
turned to their parish church
where the final visits were made.
This public profession Of faith in
the teaching of the Church and of
obedience to her laws cannot fail
to produce a beneficial effect not
only upon those who participated
but upon all who witnessed their
devotion and loyalty. There was
nothing of the o%stentatious about
it. 1t was an act of religion in
which as faithful Catholics they
deemed it their duty to partici-
pate. All honor to them and to
the spirit Of faith which animated
them!

ENLIGHTENMENT AND BIG
r Y CONTRAST.

The Catholic Chronicle, of Erie,
Pa, notes with great satisfaction
that the Tennessee Legislature APP
propriated five thousand dollars
for the support of the House of
the Good Shepherd at Memphis.
1t adds this comment: eff the
amount was commensurate with
the service that this institution is
rendering the commonwealth in
retaining and reforming lost and
hayward girls the appropriation
should run into several more fig
ures."
What a contrast there is be-
tween this action and that of the
enlightened city fathers of Pitts
burgh who force the Little Sisters
of the Poor to obtain a license In
order to carry on their work of so
Letting aims for the poor and
needy and ask a strict accounting
of all the moneys which they col
lect.
The action of the Legislature Of
Tennessee is a very effective an
swer to the bigots who make it a
practise to SANDER the Sisters of
the Good Shepherd who have con-
secrated their lives to this noble
work. We believe it safe to say
that the legislators who voted for
this appropriation are not under
the thumb of the Hierarchy and
that they are not afraid their ac-
ton will be construed into a recog-
milton of the authority which, &C
cording to the Menace, Rome is
striving to exercise over Ameri-
can institutions.

Don't forget the Jubilee pro-
mulgated by His Holiness to com
memorate the historic event which
gave peace to the early Church
within the confines of the Roman
Empire. The requirements for
gaining the spiritual benefits of
the Jubilee are so simple that NO
one should allow the opportunity
to pass without profting by it to
the fullest possible extent. A
Plenary indulgence can be gained
by making six visits to the church
or churches designated by the
Bishop of the diocese, receiving
the Sacramento of Penance and
Holy Eucharist, and giving aims
in proportion to one s means. This
indulgence, which is applicable to
the souls in Purgatory, can be
gained as often as one performs
the works enjoined. The Jubilee
closes on December s.
