RETREAT FOR
CATHOLIC L.AYMEN
To Be Given in St. Paul Seminary
from June Is to June 80.

from June Is to June 80.
This Spiritual Retreat is offered to
Catholic laymen CT the Northwest who
can afford to give three full days Of
silence and reflection to the primary
affair of their eternal salvation. SINH
lar retreats are now given in all the
large cities of the country, and Arch
bishop Ireland feels confident that the
work will be appreciated by Catholic
laymen here as much as in the East.
Programs of the exercises and regu-
lations will be sent on application to
The Spiritual Director, st. Paul Sem
mary, st. Paul, MINI.
The Retreat will be given by the
Very Rev. Father Elliott, c. s. P,
Rector of the Apostolic Mission House,
Washington, d. c., Paulist father
of national fame as preacher, mis-
sionary and author. Notwithstand-
ing his Anglo Norman forename and
Saxon sirname, he is a Celt OF the
Celts and comes of dashing Tipperary
stock. The following short sketch of
his life will interest the readers Of the
Irish Standard.
Walter Elliott was born in 1912. in
Detroit, Mich, where he made his
early studies under the Christian
Brothers. He was about to enter OH
law course when the bonbardment
of Fort Sumter and Lincoln's call for
seventy-fve thousand volunteers
reused the young mans characteristic
enthusiasm, and he enlisted as a priv
ate i'll defense of the Union fag. At
ter the war he resumed the study of
law in the University of Notre Dame,
Ind, graduated, and began to practice
his profession. But soon he heard an
! other call-this time from Heaven-to
fight for the emancipation of the slaves
of ignorance, error and sin, by the
! preaching Of divine truth, which alone
| can make men free.
| Ardently and promptly, as is his
wont. did the young lawyer respond
| to this higher call. Taking our OWE
st. Paul for his patron and model, anl
| this country for his field of action, he
joined the Paulist community, studied
for the priesthood, and OIL the day o.
his ordination renewed the Offering hi
had already made, to devote the life
spared on southern battlefields, to tn.
conversion of America. Never, a
least i'll our day, has life dedication
been more faithfully adhered to. Fo
some forty years he has been among
our foremost apostolic preachers ant
laborers. During that time mos
gladly has he been spending himsel
to win the soul of his country t,
Christ. He has been preaching mis-
sions, conducting retreats, instructor,
converts, directing souls in the highe
levels of the spiritual life, writing
books. presiding over houses of cler
'cal study, besides his hours in tn
~-'-~~@AA~i,
the poor and sick, and his extensiv
correspondence. 1t may be truly sal,
of him, that he seems to have forgot
ten what rest is and appears to hav
no time to grow old. For. notwith
standing his seventy-one years, he i
still young in enthusiasm, young il
optimism, young in buoyant hope
young in childlike simplicity, young i,
heart.
To such a priest. who is preemin
emily mans priest, the Catholic me,
of the Twin Cities and the state dof
their hats in reverence. and promis
him hearty welcome and a respon
sive audience in the coming Retreat.

INHERITANCE.

AS flow the rivers to the sea
Adown from rocky hill or plain,
A thousand ages toiled for thee
And gave thee harvest OF their grain;
And weary myriads of yore
Dug out for the earth's buried lore.
The shadowy toilers for thee fought,
In chaos of primeval day
Blind battles with they knew not what;
And each before he passed away
Gave clear articulate cries of woe;
Your pain is theirs of long ago.
And all the old heart sweetness sung.
The joyous life of man and maid
In forests when the earth was young,
In rumors round your childhood strayed,
The careless sweetness of your mind
Comes from the buried years behind
And not alone unto your birth
Their gifts the weeping ages bore,
The old descents of God on earth
Have lowered thee with celestial lore;
So, wise, and filled with sad and gay,
You pass into the further day.
George w. Russell

WAGES OF FARM LABOR

Reports received from correspondents
of the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of agriculture indicate thai
United States increased about, 80 pe1
cent during the past year, and 10 pei
cent during the past two years. Since
1902 the increase has been about "a
per cent.
The wages of farm labor had an up
ward tendency during the decade OF
the seventies considered on gold
basis); they We're almost stationary
during the eighties, and declined from
1892 to 1894 since which year they
have been steadily tending upward.
Wages now, compared with the average
of wages during the eighties, are about
SO per cent higher; compared with the
low year of 1894 wages now are about
65 per cent higher.
The current average rate of farm
wages in the United States, when board
is included, is, by the month, $40 81 !;
by the day, other than harvest, 81. IA;

NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS

Among the many plans hit upon by
employers of labor to avoid advancing
the wages of their employees the New
York Street Car company has evolved
one that is both novel and original.
1T has opened a store at which any
one of the $4,000 employees Of the
company, or any member of their
families, can, on presentation of an
employment or membership card, buy
meats and groceries and household
provisions at cost.
The railroad officials regard it as
plan to deal practically and effective
Nv with the high cost of living, and
saw that five or six similar stores are
to be opened. But according to the
superintendent of the store, there will
be a net loss of $4,000 a year in the
enterprise, and if it is true, as is as
serted. that rent, taxes and wages are
to be paid by the company and are not
to be figured into the ceiling price of
the goods, which is to be at exact cost,
twice that amount probably will not
cover the bill.
The question naturally arises, why
not distribute the expense money in
the form of wages and permit the en-
ployee to buy where he chooses. paying
the retailer a legitimate profit?
In time, it is said, clothing, shoes,
furniture and everything that the en-
ployees need will be added to the stocks
of these stores. The mana cement of
the transit company has discovered, it
is said in explanation, that it takes
about all their employees can earn to
pay their normal living expenses, and
this is the solution of the problem of
giving to each employee a greater mar
gin of income against emergencies or
for the desirable extras of life But
il is given in lieu of wages. 1t is much
like the wage schedule for farm labor,
a stated sum a week and Keep 1t
does not solve the cost of living
problem, but simply affords relief in a
comparatively limited circle, and if the
large employer of labor in setting I'D
for their own group of employees such
endowed stores, the retail distributing
system of any city would be wrecked
by their competition.
In effect the plan is an application
of the company stores system, which
has proved that it may be of benefit
in some localities and circumstances
and to a limited degree, but that in
general it is not worthy substitute
for a wage commensurate with the cost
of living and the freedom of the wage

where he can command the best ser

FROM OTHER PENS
THE SENATE CHANGES.

How wide has been the political
revolution of the past two and a half
years is shown by a comparison of the
roll of senators at the end OF 1910
with the roll of the senate made up on
March 4. At the earlier date there
| were So Republicans. 80 Democrats
and one vacancy. In the new senate
there are 40 Democrats. A Republi-
cans and three vacancies.
Including two states, Arizona and
New Mexico, that have come into the
Union since 1910, there have been
changes in the senatorial representa-
ton from eighteen states. Arizona
sends two Democrats and New Mexi-
CO sends two Republicans. This fact
is especially interesting because the
the Union for many years lest it
should send two, Democrats. The eff
fort, strongly backed by Theodore
Roosevelt, to admit the two as one
state rested on the hope that the Re-
publican voters of Arizona would
swamp the Democratic voters of New
Mexico.
Colorado, which had one Demo-
cratic senator, now has two. Dela-
ware had none, and now has one. In
diana had one, and now has two
Kansas had none, and now has one
Democrat. The same is true of Maine.
From Maryland there is only one
Democrat instead of two, but another
. DeHlOCTal Will come neXL year. MIS-
souri, has two Democrats instead of
one. Montana had no Democrat, and
now has two. Nebraska had none,
and now has one. Nevada had one,
and now has two. New Jersey has
changed two Republican senators to
two Democrats. New York had no
Democrat, and now has one. North
Dakota had one Democrat, and now
sends two Republicans. Ohio had no
Democrat, and now has one. Ore
gon had one, and now has two Demo-
Gratis West Virginia had no Demo-
cratic senator, and now has one.
OF the three vacancies, two from
Illinois and one from New Hampshire,
the Democrats will get one, and pos
sibly two. Next year they will get a
senator from Maryland, and two years
hence there is hardly doubt that they
will replace the Republican from
Kentucky with a Democrat. Demo-
cratic ascendency in the senate is well
assured for several years.-Philadel-l
