ANOTHER BIGoTED STEAM
SHIP COMPANY.

Some time ago we referred to
the unfavorable attitude of the
Cunard Steamship Company to-
wards its Catholic patrons, .as evil
denced by the absence of any pro-
vision for the saying of Mass or
the holding of Catholic services
on board its transatlantic steam
ers. But it is not the only line of
English steamers that offends in
this way. The White Star Line
gives evidence of being tarred
with the same stick.
We are informed by a priest
who recently came from England
on the Majestic that the officers
would not allow the priests on
board to say Mass on Sunday In
the second cabin, although it was
not occupied at the time. In the
hearing of several Catholic ladies
the steward said that the third
cabin saloon was good enough for
the Catholics if they wanted to
attend Mass. When the priests on

THE ARCHBISHOP'S
ADDRESS.

AS announced last week we
have made arrangements to issue
in pamphlet form the address on
why Churches and Church-Go-
ing People?" delivered by the
Most Reverend Archbishop Ire
land at the civic opening of the
Prof. Cathedral of st. Mary in Min
neapolis. This address deals with
a question of vital interest at the
present time and is intended not
merely for Catholics, but for non
Catholics as well.
We would suggest that the Rev
erend Clergy, Catholic societies
and individuals secure copies oil
this pamphlet for distribution al
the churches and among non-Cath-
olics. It cannot fail to do world
Of good in arousing people to q
realization Of the necessity oil
divine worship and thus help tc
break down the barriers Of indif
ferentism in religion which is sc
great an evil at the present time
We have already received &
number of orders for this pam
phlet in quantities and as soon az
it comes from the press these or
ders will be filed as rapidly a:
possible. We expect a large de
mand for it and, as the edition il
limited, we suggest that orders b.
sent in with as little delay as pos
sible. The cost of the pamphlet i:
nominal-just enough to cover the
actual expense of printing. It sells
at two cents a copy or $3.50 a hun
bred. All orders should be accom-
panied by cash.

MARTYRS CHAPEL
CRYPT IN cARMELITE CHURCH IN
PARIS HAS MANY RELICS OF
MARTYRS.

Mass was recently celebrated in the
crypt of the Carmelite Church in
Paris, which is opened to the public
at this season for a few days that
they may pay their devotions on the
scene of a great martyrdom. The
crypt has more than one memory and
since it's restoration in 1867 has been
divided into a series of chapels each
dedicated to different memory. The
first chapel marks the place where
Lacordaire came, after his triumph as
a preacher at Notre Dame, to give
himself up to the most rigorous prac-
tees of asceticism. The second is the
Chapel of the martyrs, where 80
priests were massacred in 1892. With
in it are the ossuaries which enclose
the bones found in the garden. Other
relics are the paving stones and re-
mains of benches spattered with blood.
Behind this chapel Ia that now conse-
Grated to the memory of Ozanam.

CATHOLIC OFFICIALS.

While Catholics are quite
pleased at the result of last week IS
elections in the Eastern states
there are no signs of unusual
jubilation. They realize that
there is no reason why a Catholic
should be debarred from office on
account of his religion. They
know that the Catholics who were
elected will prove themselves eff
cient public officials for they are
not untried in the service of their
country.
The Honorable David I. Walsh,
who is the first Catholic to be
elected Governor of Massachu-
sets, has already occupied the
position of Lieutenant Governor
with honor to himself and credit
to the State. Governor Walsh has
worked up from the ranks. He is
the son of factory worker and
from early years was obliged to
contribute to the support of his
family. He gained his prelimi-
nary education under great diff

ONE MANS FAILURE.

The Cedar Rapids Ga.) Republican
breaches a powerful temperance SER
mon and it ought to be read in every
home in America. The Republican
says: Thomas Seabrooke died in
Chicago the other day in miserable
surroundings. A dozen years or so
ago he was easily the foremost come
dian on the stage He was a born
comedian There was no horseplay
effect in his acting. At that time he
was able to make $4,000 a year, for
he could draw audiences that would
warrant manager in paying him such
salary The announcement that
Seabrooke was in the cast always
filled a theater in those days.
But Seabrooke made one mistake.
He thought he could get away with
John Barleycorn and put him under
the table. He knew that other men
had failed. and failed miserably, in
the unequal contest, but he thought
that he was to be the one exception,
the man who could win the victory.
But he didn't win. They never do
win who start out on such trial of
strength. The end is always the
same, dishonor, humiliation, shame
and suffering of every kind. Sea-
brooke died in delirium tremens. He
had one supreme agony of mind, when
all the devils and snakes of hell tor
mented him, and then he was dead,
dead at a time when he ought to be
in the beginnings Of a mellow ma
turity, the kind of maturity in which
Joe Jefferson was at his best and
during which he gave his friends and
admirers their greatest pleasure out
of art.
But Joe Jefferson didn't drink the
stuff, while Thomas @. Seabrooke
drank it and was fool enough to be-
lieve that he could get away with it.

board, who had been refused per-
mission to say Mass, insisted on
holding religious services in the
second cabin, permission was
grudgingly given; but the steer
age passengers who, on the invi-
tation of one Of the priests, came
to attend the service, which con-
sisted of the recitation of the ros-
airy and a sermon, were peremp-
torily ordered back to their own
quarters.
This utter disregard for the re-
ligious welfare of Catholic passen-
gers, whether in the steerage or
not, calls for censure. It is the
more to be regretted inasmuch
as the Episcopal service was read
on this particular Sunday morn
ing in the first cabin, as is the Gus
tom on English ships. A discrim-
nation Of this kind should not be
tolerated Furthermore, we are
credibly informed that no pro-
vision is made for Friday meals
on the White Star Line.
It is time for Catholics TO learn
the facts in connection with these
English transatlantic liners.
There are many other boats MAX
ing the passage from America to
Europe which make adequate pro-
visions for Catholic services, not
only by offering a decent place in
which to- hold them, but by pro-
viding all that is necessary in the
way Of vestments and altar fur
nishings for the celebration of
Mass.
The Catholic travelling public
who, in spite Of this knowledge,
patronize steamship companies
which discriminate against their
religion, have no just cause for
complaint if they find out when
too late that the facts are such as
have been stated on more than
one occasion. Mere protests, no
matter how numerous. will not
bring about a change of heart. 1t
is only when these steamship com
panies find that their Catholic
patronage is falling off that they
will awaken to the needs Of the
situation and give proper recogni-
ton to the conscientious demands
of this section Of the travelling
public.

which he is now one of the most
distinguished graduates.
When Governor Walsh takes
the oath of office he will make the
fourth Catholic Governor in the
United States, the others being
Governor Pothier of Rhode
Island, Governor Dunno of I'LL
nois, and Governor Glynn of New
York. 1t is interesting to note
that not only is the Governor-elect
of Massachusetts a Catholic, but
the Mayor of Boston, the Honor
able John F. Fitzgerald, is also a
Catholic, while the Honorable
Martin H. Glynn and the Honor
able John P. Mitchell occupy sim
liar positions in the Empire State.
The Lieutenant Governor OF
Massachusetts, Edward P. Barry
and the Secretary of State, F. j
Donahue, are also Catholics.

PURITY Of IRISH WOMEN
PROTESTANT AUTHORITIES AT
TRIBUTE 1T TO INFLUENCE
OF RELIGION.

Quoting Protestant authorities as to
the moral aspect of Catholicity, staff
correspondent of the Catholic
Herald" says:
Another Protestant contributes to
Christian at work the statement
that while under the guidance of
their priests Irish women as a class
enjoy, and with justice, reputation
for responsibility of conduct unsur-
passed, if equalled, by any women in
the world" Even so bitter foe of
Rome" as Mr.. ]. A. F'roude de-
clared that: ''Impurity was almost I'M
known in Ireland, and this absence
of vulgar crime and this exceptional
delicacy and modesty of character is
due, to their everlasting honor to the
influence of the Catholic clergy" I'm
morality is scarcely known among the
Catholics" writes Mr.. Harold Begbie,
in a chapter on Belfast. I'm Catholic
Ireland" he tells us, "even among the
most ignorant of the peasants, spir.
itual life is the supreme reality" and
he records the tribute paid by a
Protestant bushes man in the South

perior to the Professionals. The purity
of their women is extraordinary. The
Catholics have the secret of the moral
life"

HELPING HANDS OR STUMBLING
BLOCKS.

Bishop McGavick, addressing the
Illinois Union, said that total abstain
ers are not only working for their
own good, but for others. They are
staff to others hands, help to 9TH
ers' feet, light shining in the dark
ness and showing the way to other
wandering and lost travelers-the way
upward and the way onward, the way
to right and the way to God and to
everlasting life. The man who drinks
is putting stumbling block in others
way, and as they walk along, they
may fall Not only that, but he is
digging well right in his brothers
path, right where his feet are going
and into which he is likely to fall.
That is what the man or woman does
who takes liquor; and the man or
woman who refuses to take it is reach
ing out hand to the neighbor, to help
him along and guide him safely over
the pathway of human life.

'The magnificent new Pro
Cathedral of St. Paul was opened
to the public last Sunday night.
A congregation made up Of St.
Paul's very best people, regard
less of religious utilization, COM
pletely filled the great structure
and heard Archbishop Ireland de-
liver an inspiring sermon on
why Church and Church-going
People?'"
We suggest that our esteemed
Eastern contemporary from
whose editorial page the forego-
ing is taken, devote more time to
the pages Of The Catholic Bulle-
tin, in order to obtain a better
idea Of the unprecedented devel-
opment of the Church in Mime
sofa. This is shown by the fact
that st. Paul is building a monu-
mental Cathedral which, however,
will not be ready for occupancy
for some time. The Pro-Cathe-
dral of st. Mary, a fitting sister
structure in architectural beauty
and massiveness, crowns the fair
est avenue of Minneapolis. It's
civic dedication is taking place
this month. The formal opening
for divine worship will take place
in the spring. The function to
which our contemporary alludes
took place in the Pro-Cathedral
in Minneapolis.

Professionalism
WANING IN GERMANY
NUMBER OF CATHOLICS INCREAS-
ING IN GERMAN PROVINCES
WHERE FORMERLY THERE
WERE NO CATHOLICS.

The Protestant Church in Germany
is in a discouraging state, according
to one of its pastors, whose words ap-
pear in the Christian Work and Evan
gelist, New York. His sorrow over
the decline of Professionalism is made
more bitter, he asserts, "by the I'M
doubted fact that Ultramontanism is
growing in our midst, and that the
grave symptoms of decay or stagna-
tion-whichever you like to call them
which affect us are not affecting
Rome" He continues with his COM
parative views of the two churches:
Wherever we turn we find visible
proof of the activity and living growth
of German Catholicism. A fortnight
ago at Metz, in Lorraine, the Clerical
Ultramontanes held their annual con-
gress, and never before was there SO
much enthusiasm displayed, or were
such glowing accounts rendered of
progress all along the line of the
Church's efforts Prince and peasant,
cardinal and deacon, rich and poor,
were alike filed with zeal and be-
lief in the destiny of their Church
wholly unknown in Protestant Ger
many. When we turn to the outward
and visible signs of progress, to num-
bers and results, what do we find? A
few details will make clear the rea-
sons which lie at the bottom Of Cath
Ollie hopefulness and Protestant de
preston.
Taking the entire population of the
empire, the census returns show that
Catholicism is growing more rapidly
than Professionalism, that the faith of
Rome absorbs a greater share of the
increasing population than the faith
of Luther. In the great Catholic fast
ness OF Bavaria and the Rhenish prov
inces, Lutheranism has failed in its

1t is hard to convince some peo-
pie that Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield, was not Cath
Ollie. In the Southern Guardian"
of Little Rock, Ark, the following
statement made by Charles G..
White of st. Johns, Mich, broth
er-in-law of Guiteau, and a veter-
an of the Civil War, shows that
Garfield s slayer was not a Catho-
lie. The statement which was
signed at st. Johns, Mich, on
September II, 1913, in the pres
ence Of Harold j. Hamilton and
John Ansley, witnesses, is as fol
lows:
"I am a brother-in-law of
Charles Guiteau, the slayer of
President Garfield. Was Guiteau
Catholic? Well, | should think
not! Charles Guiteau hated the
Catholic Church with all the hate
that was in him. He was a Prot
estant converted by Moody. He
told me many a time that God in,
spired him to kill Garfield. He
was insane on that one subject
This is absolute truth, and / would
take my oath to that effect. ("

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

It is very difficult to arrive at
anything like an exact knowledge
Of the situation in Mexico. If we
believe the press dispatches it
looks as if there would be armed
intervention on the part Of the
United States. But the situation
may not be so serious as the news
papers depict it. One day they tell
us that President Wilson has sent
an ultimatum to Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta, and the next day
they deny it on the authority of
Secretary of State Bryan. Under
these circumstances, it is no won
der that the public are at sea In
regard to the official relations be-
tween the two countries.
We sincerely hope that there
will be no armed intervention
There is no cause for it. The trou-
BILE in Mexico has not attained to
the dignity of an international
question. 1t is purely a local af-
fair which can and ought to be
settled by the Mexicans them
selves without any outside inter
ference. Why should America
step in to settle the question? No
Americans have suffered either in
property or life. No outrage call
ing for armed intervention has
been perpetrated upon any Amer
lean citizen. There is no denying
the fact that Americans living in
Mexico are disturbed by the I'M
settled condition Of the country.
But is that cause for armed inter
vention? They are there for pur-
poses of speculation. Before 60
ing they should have studied the
situation and have been prepared
to abide by the conditions which
obtain in that country. They
knew that the government was not
as stable as in this country. They
were aware of the fact that revo-
lutionary tactics were resorted to
from time to time, and hence they
were, presumably, not unwilling
to take their chances with others
who went to Mexico for the pur-
pose of making money. Some OF
them, at least, have been over
bearing in their conduct towards
the native population. According
to a statement of Mrs. Lind, who
recently returned from Mexico,
the Americans treat the natives
barbarously and would make
slaves of them in order to enrich
themselves. At any rate, the fact
that Americans are in some dan
ger in Mexico is no cause for
armed intervention on the part OF
the United States.
It cannot be denied that Mexico
is in a state Of civil war; but that
, is not our business. When the
United States was in the midst
of a civil conflict for the preser-
walton of the Union what would
have happened had any European
, country dared to interfere or even
, to suggest armed Intervention
We would have told it, very
T politely, to mind its own bust
ness. The United States felt that
it was capable of coping with the
situation during the Civil Wal
and the outcome of that conflict
t showed that no mistake was made
in this regard. Mexico is in

Mrs. Pankhurst, the English
suffragette, who visited the Twin
Cities last week, did not make
much of an impression upon her
audiences, if we are to judge from

Many people went to see and hear
her through curiosity. She came,
as she declared, "for American
dollars" but we doubt that there
was any considerable amount add

"From the elaborate statistics

suit that the adjective, "Priest-

EVIDENCE OF A BETTER
SPIRIT.

The new editions of the leading
dictionaries, such as Webster s
and the Standard, give evidence
Of a change of attitude towards
the Church in their definitions of
Catholic words and terms, even
of technical nature. In the new
editions there is no cause for COM
plant that the susceptibilities Of
Catholics are wounded by defni-
tions that mis-state Catholic
teaching and practice. This is an
evidence of the gradual disap-
pearance Of bigotry in one quar-
ter at least. The publishers have
striven to be absolutely. fair and
have succeeded in producing die
tionaries to which Catholics can
refer for correct definitions of
Catholic words.
This is as it should be. There
was no excuse for ever giving of
fence to Catholics by interfering
bigotry into the pages Of the die
tionary. Catholics try to be fair
themselves, and they expect a
similar courtesy on the part of
mont Catholic publishers. They
will no longer tolerate books that
are not up to the standard in this
respect. Publishers who fail to
take this fact into consideration
will sooner or later regret setting
at naught the legitimate demands
of Catholics for works which are
free from prejudice against the
Church.
