CATHOLIC WRITER DEAD
JEREMIAH CURTIN, JOURNALIST
AND AUTHOR, WELL KNOWN
IN LITERARY WORLD.

jeremiah G. Curtin, journalist and
author, died RECENTLY i'm Brooklyn
after a protracted illness in his sixty
second year. He was cousin of
John D. Crimmins of Manhattan and
was born at Peterboro, Canada. He
was graduated from st. MichaeIs Col
lege with high honors, and studied
philosophy and theology at the Sui
pician Grand Seminary in Montreal.
He left the seminary before ordina-
ton and took up secular pursuits.
He settled in New York in 1875 and
taught the classics for several years
in various colleges. He was after
ward the editor of McGhee's Illus
trated Weekly and Redpath's Illus
trated Weekly. He translated many
works of foreign authors, including
the widely read novels of Sienkie-

The manner of making the Jubilee
visits is causing somewhat of a dis
cusslon. Some maintain that the six
visits should be made one each day for
six consecutive days. Now, this would
be Impossible where people live great
distance from the church, and other
wise various circumstances may obIige
persons to interrupt the days. No
mention of this has been made in our
Holy Fathers letter in The Catholic
Bulletin. Can the days not be inter-
rupted? And where there is but one
church cannot the people make two or
three visits to that church in the same
day, for example, on Sunday, when
some have to come to Mass distance
Of ten or fifteen miles?
The letter of our Holy Father
promulgating the Jubilee prescribes
as necessary requirement for the
gaining of the indulgence, the making
of six visits to the church or churches
designated by the Bishop of each do
cese for the faithful entrusted to his
fcare. The time of making these visits
is left to the convenience of each
individual, provided that it does not
extend beyond the eighth day of De
cember, when the Jubilee closes. The
letter of the Holy Father does not
prescribe that the visits be made on
different days, whether consecutive or
not. They can therefore be made at
at any time that suits the convenience
of the individual. More than one, or
all of them, can be made on the same
day For instance, in places where
there is but one church, a person can
make the prescribed visits in one day
by leaving the church for a few
minutes after each visit, and then re-
turning for another. 1t is not the in
tention of the Holy Father to impose
great difficulties on the faithful in
order to secure the spiritual favors OF
the Jubilee On the contrary, he
grants confessors special faculties to
in particular cases for good reasons
In many parishes, no doubt, the Jubilee
visits will be made at special services
organized for that purpose of enabling
the faithful to complete the prescribed
visits in day or two at the most, and
fulfill the other works enjoined for the
gaining of the Jubilee indulgences.

THE LEGAL MINIMUM WAGE.
The Moral Aspect.

It would seem that State action to
safeguagd a natural right like the
right to living wage, is so clearly
in accordance with humanity and good
morals that no honest and intelligent
man could attack it on ethical or re-
ligious grounds. Yet Mr.. McSweeney
in the April issue of The Columbiad
has assured us that the minimum wage
is 'Socialistic" and pagan" OF
course, any extension of legislation in
the field of industry is liable to be
dubbed Socialism by somebody.
The minimum wage is no more So
cialistic than child labor laws or eight
hour day laws. They are all regula-
lions of the labor contract in private
industry, while Socialism means the
abolition of private industry. AS to
the 'paganism" of the minimum wage,
it must be an esoteric quality whose
precise place in the scheme has not
yet been revealed by it's discoverer.
In view of the fact that some of the
ablest Catholic authorities in Europe,
Jesuits, Biederlack, Antoine, Lehm-
kuhl, and Wright, the Dominican,
Weiss, and many others, have declared
in favor of a minimum wage by law;
that some of the most prominent adj
vocates of the proposal and the most
effective workers in getting it enacted
into law in America are priests; and
that it is approved implicitly in the
Encyclical on Labor of Pope Leo
KILN view of all these and many
other pertinent facts, it is scarcely
less than a piece of gross impertinence
for Mr.. McSweeney to set himself up
as an opponent of the minimum wage
on the ground of Catholic principles.
giving support to the contention of the
Socialists and other enemies of the
Church, who assert that Catholics al
ways oppose any definite and effective
measure for the abolition of social
evils.
The Verdict of Experience.
Minimum wage legislation has been
in force in Australia for IL years, and
in certain trades in England for three
years. Every competent and honest
observer has pronounced the law a
success in the former country. Here
is quotation from the most recent
writer on the subject, Professor M. B.
Hammond of Ohio University, who
spent several months in Australia last
summer:
employers and employees there diff
fer more or less in their views as to
what is the best machinery for bring
ing the legal minimum wage into exist
ence, and securing its enforcement.
Differences of opinion exist also as to
the range of industries to which it
should be applied, but few
persons could be found today, either
in Australia or New Zealand, who
would challenge the statement that
the principle of legal minimum wage
has been accepted as a permanent
policy in the industrial legislation OF
that portion of the world" (''The
American Economic Review" June
1913, p. 1881

sign of the cross made without holy
water is indulgenced with an indulg-
ence of only fifty days. While the use
of holy water apparently goes back to
the earliest times, the practice of the
priest sprinkling the people with it
seems to have arisen in the ninth CEN
fury. The main idea ever attached to
holy water throughout the centuries
has been that of banishing the devil.
u. Remembering the nature of an
indulgence as being remission of the
temporal punishment due to sin, one
can easily trace in history the working
of indulgences from the very earliest
beginnings of the Catholic Church.
In the days of the public pen
ances the canonical punishment was
often shortened where the cir
cumstances of contrition or persecu-
ton dictated the wisdom of so acting
At date later than the seventh cen.
fury, the idea of committing instead
of curtailing in connection with the
canonical penances manifested itself
at first in England and finally spread.
ing throughout the Catholic world
The treasures of the Church, made UP
of the unused satisfactory merits OF
Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the
other saints, were called into service
to supply the want of the satisfaction
done by the penitent. Here was the
exact working of the indulgence such
as we have today. The exact date OF
the change from the curtailing to the
committing attitude towards the ca
nonical penances or who was the per.
son whose share in the change was
greatest is not within the writing OF
history In this, as in other matters
there was gradual development in
which the entire Christian people
figured.

CATHOLIC CONVENTIONS FIRST MASS IN MAINE
KNIGHTS OF COL UMBUs AND c. T.
A. U. OF AMERICA HOLD AN
NUAL CONVENTIONS I'M Bos-
TON AND PHILADELPHIA, RE-
sPEcTIvELY.

During the week, two important
Catholic organizations held their an
nual conventions in eastern cities.
Boston gave royal welcome to the
delegates and visitors to the number
of 10000, who came to participate in
the thirty-first annual convention of
the Knights of Columbus. On Monday,
August 4, the incoming delegates were
met by the reception committee and
given an automobile trip, along the
North Shore In the evening there was
grand exemplification of the Fourth
Degree ceremonial at the Mechanic
Building under the direction of SUI
preme Master John H. Reddin, of
Denver. The official opening of the
convention on Tuesday morning was
preceded by a Solemn High Mass at
the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. In
addition to the National Officers and
Directors, delegates were present
from every state and territory in the
Union, from Canada, Mexico, Cuba,
Porto Rico, and the Philippine Islands.
The business sessions of the conven-
ton closed on Thursday, August T.
During the convention the visitors at
tended many social functions and
were given an opportunity to visit
places of interest in the vicinity of
Boston. The convention closed with a
grand reception and ball at the Hotel
Somerset.
IN onr,1o1
convention of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union of America assembled
in Philadelphia on August 5. They
were rendered a reception at the
headquarters, Hotel Walton, followed
by promenade concert The follow
ing morning Pontifcal High Mass was
celebrated in the Cathedral, at which
a sermon was preached by Mgr. Nc
Dewitt, Superintendent of Parochial
Schools. The business sessions of the
convention we're held Wednesday and
Friday, Thursday being devoted to an
outing at Willow Grove, which was
brought to close with public rally
in Music Pavilion where addresses
were delivered by Right Reverend
Bishop Canevin, of Pittsburg, and Very
Reverend P. J. O'Callaghan, C. S. P,
of Chicago, President of the National
Union.
Among the important questions dis
cussed were the sending of delegate
to the international Anti-alcoholic Con-
gress to be held at Milan this fall, and
the means to be taken to diffuse a
better scientific knowledge regarding
the liquor problem, with a view of en-
listing the young in the work of the
organization. This campaign of edu-
cation along scientific lines for the
benefit of the young, especially, is re-
garded as the most important work
which the Union can undertake.
