DISTURBING.

The negotiations with Mexico are
thus far barren of satisfactory
results. Huerta having refused to
accede to the demands of the United
States, and the situation on Thurs
day was most tense. Despite the
professions of England, the course
of that country is being closely
watched. F. X. Weinschenck, who
has made a study of international
affairs, declares that England, the
enemy of this country and humanity
In general, not being content, is
determined to create strife between
the United States and Mexico, the
principal object being to protect the
English Governments secret treas
ury interests. This can be done by
involving this country in war with
Mexico, or some other country,
which would give the English
Government syndicate an excuse to
withdraw money from circulation.
Certain English financial interests
in conjunction with the syndicate
press and politicians are working
apparently with this end in view, by
getting tho people of North America
to wrangle among themselves; or
.Ye1ico with this country. would
offer an opportunity and excuse for
Withdrawing money from circulation
and from this country. In case of a
war with Mexico by imbuing others
with fear of financial panic, the
panic would thus be created, and
leave this country helpless, whereas
now 1t is the most powerful in the
world. President Wilson has dis
played wise and calm judgment thus
far, and with him stands all the
forces of this country, fact that the
Mexicans and others should not
overlook.

ABOUT "MUD SINGING"

The Catholic and Protestant
churches are as far apart in matters
as the sun and the moon. 1t is i'm
possible for us to concede one point
of faith to hasten church unity.
Professionals think that they are the
more "broad-minded," and we think
that we are. Some day we are all
going to be in one fold again. But
neither of us can hasten that day
by singing mud at the other. When
one of us attacks, it is the duty of
the other to defend, especially when
we consider that souls are in
jeopardy. But why must we for
ever be picking out flaws in one
another? The fair-minded man
must admit that we both have been
guilty of downright bigotry at
times. Each side naturally thinks it
has been the more lenient. When
Christian unity does come il will
come on the strength of Christ
own teachings. It will not come be-
cause members of one church can
say more ugly things than the MEM
bers of the other. Knowing what
we do about the teachings of our
church, we as Catholics should not
be afraid to let her stand on merit,
not controversies Register.

TRADES UNION ACHIEVEMENT.

A report of the National Bureau
of Statistics dealing with the union
scale of wages and hours of labor
in the United States for a period
of five years ending in 1912 has
just made it's appearance and is
one of the most forcible arguments
in favor of trades unions that has
ever been issued. Organized labor
has accomplished splendid results in
increasing the value of work, and
the union is shown to be leading
factor in the much-to-be-desired
more equitable distribution Of
wealth. The data is especially in
teresting and timely, in view of the
nationwide agitation of professional
fomenters of strife. The industrial
toilers are gradually approaching
conditions which may eventually
prove satisfactory to all concerned.
The sense of justice is not totally
extinct on earth, and it is by acting
in accordance with this that the
present status may be benefited and
the lot of the working men may be
improved. There is no need just
yet for the utter destruction of the
existing order by means of the
social revolution.

LEGITIMATE RECREATION.

The Catholic church does not
throw a wet blanket over the amuse-
ments of her people. She delights in
seeing them entertain and recreate
themselves. She simply asks her
men and women to see that their
recreation is innocent and clean.
"Patronize," she says, ''if you will
the clean play and stay away from
the immoral one" If our united
strength were properly handled. not

ner hamper the liberty of either

QUESTION OF STANDARDS.

We are assured that this is a
Christian nation; that while some
fifty millions of our population do
not belong to any church their ideals
are nevertheless Christian. This is
probably true in a limited sense; but
Il is also true that the ordinary
Christian ideals are becoming very
vague and uncertain for an increas-
ingly large number. The standard
OF Christian morality is very definite
but it is not the standard accord
ing to which questions of the day are
judged by many.
The strong tendency of our time
Is to substitute for the code of Chris
tian morals a mere standard of
natural utilitarianism, to ignore our
relation to God, and to set up a
standard of right and wrong based on
convention or the within of the mo-
ment. Religion, in its bearing upon
human conduct, or upon the ques-
lions of the day, is thrust out of
sight. "These are things with which
religion has nothing to do" we are
told. 'Legislr tive enactment is the
OILY way 10 reach Iu6m.
Meanwhile legislative enactments
are piling up mountain high, and re-
spect>for law is decreasing as people
realize the powerlessness of law to
regulate all the relations of men.
Divorces increase steadily, and the
marriage bond becomes a subject of
Jest. Unclean literature finds its way
into homes to contaminate the rising
generation; and immoral plays are
presented before shameless audi
ences.
What are the ideals of those who
advocate openly the immoralities OF
divorce? OF those who propose to
reform society by the immoral fads
that are now the fashion? Chris
tian? Perhaps-in a vague way; but
their ideal is never realized in their
standard of conduct. That standard
Is far below the Christian one. 1t Is
irreligious and pagan.
Yet some talk Of reforming society
without religion. They are not sin
cere or else they deceive themselves.
Society can never be saved without
religion. If history teaches anything,
II is that pagan civilization was NOR
ally bankrupt when Christianity was
first preached in Greece and Rome
Now we are asked to substitute for
the Christian standard a standard
that is no higher than that OF the
pagans Of two thousand years ago. II
is equivalent to asking US to return
to paganism.-True Voice.

BLESSED OUR SAILORS.

A large party of American blue
jackets was received Wednesday
morning in private audience by Pope
Plus. The men we're conducted to
the Vatican by Capt. William ]. Max
well, of the battleship Florida, and
were presented to His Holiness by
Monsignor Thomas F. Kennedy, Rec
tor of the American College in Rome.
The reception was held in the Papal
apartments instead of in the Court
of San Damaso. The Pope was robed
in white and was accompanied by the
major domo of the Vatican and a
detachment of Swiss Guards. He
spoke with the American officers and
impaired to them and to all the men
the Apostolic benediction. AS the
sailors left the hall they gave three
cheers for the Pope.

NOT MUCH TINE LEFT.

The Jubilee time, concentrating
the sixteen hundredth anniversary
of the Peace of Constantine" Will
close on December s Of this year.
This peace anniversary commemor-
ates the triumph of Christianity
over paganism after 800 years Of
relentless persecution, SANDER and
death. The conditions for making
the Jubilee, promulgated by Pope
Plus x, are to go to confession and
receive holy communion during the
time appointed; make six visits to
church and pray for the intentions
of our Holy Father and the church,
and to give aims to charity or some
good work. Catholics will see that
but little time remains in which to
perform this duty, which will bring
great rewards.

SENSIBLE DAUGHTERS.

There will be universal COM
mendation of the United Daughters
OF the Confederacy, in session at
New Orleans, who on Wednesday
deviated from their programme long
enough to refuse to accept greetings
from the Southern States Woman's
Suffrage Conference, or to invite
Miss Kate NJ. Gordon, the Confer
ence President, to speak. It was
declared on the floor the Daughters
will not have politics of any sort
Injected into their organization. The
suffrage conference was the scheme
of delegates to a Louisiana suffrage
convention, and after it's adjourn
ment Mrs. c. A. Cantrell, OF Ken
lucky, offered motion asking that
Miss Gordon be invited to speak,
saying that the Daughters should
receive greetings from sister
convention. This caused some excite
ment and brought forth the real
feelings of the United Daughters.
Mrs. Norman Randolph, of Virginia,
made spirited address against such
action, and moved that the motion
be tabled. She was seconded by
Mrs. Cornelia B. Stone, of Calves
ton, who also deprecated the idea
Of bringing the suffrage question
before the U. d. c. as an organiza-
ton. The motion was tabled by a
large majority. The Daughters
acted sensibly and set an example
for other women TO follow.
