RUIN IN ITS TRAIN.

Alcohol" says Professor e. Krae-
pelin, of the University Of Munich, in
an address on "The University Man
and the Alcohol Question" has seem
ed to us a nice plaything or even an
amiable friend, an ever-ready COM
forter and helper in sickness and
weakness. But today we know that
this jolly comrade for the price OF one
hour of exhilaration cheats us out of
our self-respect, that It brings to ruin
every being and every nation that
yields to 1t. Whoever recognizes this
incontestable truth can be no true man
IL he is not seized with righteous an
ger against the poison which with un-
heard-of oppression has forced whole
nations into bondage unto itself"

THE SALOON AND LABOR.

Every element of influence that the
saloon exercises upon human society
is antagonistic to everything that or
gained labor stands for, says John B.
Lennon, treasurer of the American
Federation of Labor. The influence of
the saloon in it's effects upon man is
constantly against any and all in
creases in wages, and is an ever potent
force in the world for lowering wages.
1t is also force, and a tremendous
one, because of it's influence upon man
and society, against any reduction in
the hours of labor
The saloon is sending more children
into the factory, the mines, the mills
and shops, that ought to be at school
or play, than the influence of the trade
union has been able to eliminate,
either by direct action or by legisla-
ton.
The attitude of organized labor upon
the employment of women in industry
is just the same as it Is with children.
The saloon influence is driving by the
thousands women into the industrial

If any of the organized wagework-

assertions, let them go out and do
little studying for themselves. Let
them examine carefully all the en-
ployees of some one shop or factory or
firm. And they will soon ascertain
whether or not the purchasing power
for things that are worth while by

not greater than that of the man who
patronizes the saloon. Let them in

the same habits of the father of the

ton of the employment of women
along the same lines And they will
discover how the influence of the sa-
loon runs and what it is doing to that
community for the workingman and
his family.

Ole Tribune of Dubuque, died last

Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was
the son of Nicholas Conner, a Cath
Ollie editor, and Of Clara Ritter Con
ner, whose father was member of
the Iowa Legislature. He received his

AMERICAN LEAGUE OF CATH
OLIC WOMEN.

At the annual convention of the
Federation of Catholic Societies
which meets In Milwaukee next
August, an effort will be made to
organize a National League of
Catholic Women for the United
States along lines similar to those
of the Federation itself. This. it
is hoped, will be the elimination
of a movement which has been
under consideration for couple
of years. The project was dis
cussed at the last two conven-
lions of the Federation and so
favorable an appeal did it make
to the delegates at Louisville last
year that two committees of
women on Organization and on
Constitution were appointed to
report at the coming convention.

According to the Minneapolis
Standard we learn that the So
cialists and the Industrial Work
ers of the World are at outs in
Butte, Mont. The Socialists are
proceeding to appoint a commit
tee which will endeavor to have
revoked the charter on account of
an alleged fraud by the Industrial
Workers in the recent referendum
election. The Industrial Workers
are accused of trying to substitute
their doctrines for those of the So
called Socialist party. The whole
difficulty seems to be in determin-
ing the limitations of the doctrine
of Socialism.

rational being. His nature is
degraded, his faculties are dulled,
and his sense of right and wrong
becomes thoroughly atrophied, in
fact, he becomes an irresponsible
being. The worst of the matter,
however, is that he is personally
responsible for this state of ir-
responsibility. We all know the
terrible effects of intemperance,
not one but has seen the actual
effects in real life. Homes have
been invaded and broken up, chill
dren cast adrift, husbands and
wives estranged, business ruined,
reputation shattered, health un-
dermined, divorce encouraged,
and thousand other evils have
followed in the putrid wake Of the
Incorporate. Thanks to the socie-
ties that have fought intemperance
we find this evil combated on
every hand, so that at the present
day it is not considered even good
form for a gentleman to drink to
excess far cry from the old
Saxons who consumed vast guam
titles of ale at every sitting.
1t is just such meetings as the
one scheduled for July Is that
exert so powerful an influence
against the crime Of intemperance.
1t is hoped that as many Of our
Catholics as possible will avail
themselves of this opportunity to
attend the grand gathering, and
thus not only learn new reasons to
oppose this evil, but also bestir
themselves into active cooperation
with those who are fighting so
nobly in this great cause.

A New England contemporary
aptly observes: In the American
Searchlight for June it is re-
marked that: Every man at the
head of the United States Govern
ment is either a member or a
communicate of some Protestant
church. " There is a note of
triumph in the article that makes
one ask: Would our Protestant
brethren accept the situation as
quietly as do the Catholics now,
If the condition were reversed? It
is well enough to talk of broad
mindedness and liberation while
in power; but the attitude which
makes such men rejoice at the ex-
clusion of a whole body of citizens
speaks little for such so-called
liberation.

In an appeal to Catholic women
the Columbian remarks pointedly
Catholic women should use their
great influence against indecent
fashions in clothes. The world
looks to them for good example.
If they become as immodest as the
rest of their sex who follow the
styles, then indeed has the salt of
Christian purity lost it's SAVIOR.
No Catholic mother should let
her daughter wear the tight skirts,
the slit skirts, the Balkan suit with
its band around the hips, and the
other outrageous fashions that
now prevail, designed for the
demimonde, by men dress-makers,
pandering TO the needs of women
who are for sale and who desire
to attract customers.
Let Catholic women dress like
Christians, like children of Mary,
no matter what the rest Of the
world does. Then other decent
folk, encouraged by our conduct,
will follow our lead, and the reign
of painted women will be over.

THE REAL MENACE IN OUR
AMERICAN SCHOOL
SYSTEM.

The real menace to America to-
day is the absolute want Of re-
ligion among the people. This
question has been treated time
and again in the press, from the
pulpit, on the platform.
The attitude Of Catholics on this
question in recent years has
changed considerably. Catholics
have been fighting along the
wrong line. They have been OPP
posing religion in the schools, and
thus by eliminating religious
teaching in the schools they have
practically aided in forcing the
rest Of the country into atheism.
What they should have fought for
is State recognition for their own
schools. 1t is admitted by all real
educators, irrespective of creed,
that morality absolutely cannot
exist in a country where religion
does not form a part of the curri-
culum OF the schools.
Catholics have opposed religion
in the schools until two results
were obtained. First, religion
eventually was entirely banished
from the schools; secondly, realiz-
ing the necessity of religion in the
school, Catholics began to build
their own institutions wherein
their children could receive the
training necessary for a clean,
Christian life. This was the saliva
ton Of the child from the Catholic
standpoint.
But what of the rest of the
countryg Religion was completely
banished from the school room !;
the school was neither positive nor
negative, neither religious nor
anti-reigious; it was just neutral.
Considering education as a whole,
and theoretically speaking, neu-
trality in religion is impossible.
Religion would have promoted
morality; opposition to religion
would have developed a strong re-
ligious spirit in many quarters !;
while neutrality has persisted, and
the result has been a nation of
atheists. Yes, that is the answer:
as a nation Americans are just
plain atheists. This is the terrible
outlook that confronts the coun-
try today.
It has been said by the infdel
Bayle that a nation of atheists

TOTAL ABSTINENCE CON
VENTION.

Some time ago we mentioned in
the Bulletin that on July Is the
forty-second annual convention of
the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of the Archdiocese of St.
Paul will be held in the st. Paul
auditorium. In the evening a
mass meeting will be held at which
the Very Rev. P. j. O'Callaghan,
c. S. p, of Chicago, President of
the National Union, will be the
principal speaker.
We wish to recall to the minds
of our readers what was said some
time ago. The cause of total alb
Stinence is one of the most serious
questions that can engage the at
tention of any thinker of the day.
If we consider the immense
amount of harm that is done
everywhere by intemperance in
drinking it is easy to under
stand the Importance of this cues
ton Of all the varieties of sin
into which human nature can fall
that of intemperance seems to be
the most inexcusable. For if man
glories in the possession of an in
tellect and reason as his chief en-
dowments, surely anything that
will tend to blunt or to destroy
these faculties must be heinous

separates man from the beast; but

ligious schools let the State pay
for that education, as is done in
Canada, if it reaches the state
standard, just as the State pays
for the education of the child in
the public school. Golfer adds:
'"They have had secularization Of
the schools in France. We are
having it here. They have a wave
of Socialism in France. We are

TONS" Rev. David Wylie, a Pres
byterian minister of New York,
affirms that the result of this di-
vorce of secular and religious edu-
cation in the United States has
produced sad results. "For edu-
cation of the mind alone, /" he
says, "to the neglect Of the moral
nature, is quite certain to produce
low moral type, if, indeed, it
does not result in much criminal
ity !" Philander Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education,
AYERS: Morality and religion
must be taught our children in the
public school, for the school must
do what all other agencies have
failed to do. Our country school
system in the United States today
is perhaps the most deplorable of
any civilized country in the world,
and far below the standards set
by Japan, Germany and Scandi-
navia. "
These are few opinions of men
qualified to advance an opinion.
They show that the neutral stand
taken by our schools in matters of
religion has actually fomented
vice and criminality, or at least,
left the nation a spectacle, terrible
to behold, before the peoples of the
civilized world.
To sum up, we deplore a system
which excludes all religion from
the school. We are not speaking
Of the relative claims Of Catholics
or of non-C Catholics as to the truth
of their belief. There is question
simply Of religious teaching
which, strictly speaking, is relig-
ious teaching.
AS long as our Catholic institu-
lions continue the Catholic popula-
ton will be moral, upright, and
Christian. So long as the schools
of the land exclude God from
their curriculum, just so long will
they 60 on turning out a goddess,
irresponsible, immoral, spiritually
unnatural army of citizens, to the
detriment Of the country, the dis
grace Of civilization, and the utter
destruction of all morality.

How is it that when non-Cath-

absolute neglect is shown in stat

All this is anent a certain work
that is appearing in North Da-
kota. 1t is called, Representa-
tive Men of North Dakota" The
work, we are informed, is compiled
by the Bureau of Publicity, To-
Gated at Fargo. In this work the
compiler" tells the world that
the difference between us and our
brethren without the Pale is Just
this: "In the Protestant bodies
the basis of membership is belief
and conduct; In the Catholic, be-
lief and obedience. The price of
the work, we understand, is TWEEN
ty dollars.
Sometimes an insult proceeds
from malice, sometimes from
ignorance. The above compiler is
of the stamp that furnished the
famous Brann with material for
his vitriOlic diatribes against the
freaks of the day. Is it possible
that the Bureau of Publicity of
Fargo is simply a money-making
scheme without any regard for
the truth of the statements it ap-
proves? Is it possible that such
a work can be produced in that
enlightened community with the
hope of imposing on the apparent
gullibility of Catholics? Such a
hope is futile, as may be seen in
the letter written by the Right
Reverend Bishop of Fargo, print
ed elsewhere In our columns.
Catholics who would knowingly
subscribe to a work which thus
maliciously misrepresents and viii
fies their religion are but misera-
BILE specimens of humanity. Pay
twenty dollars to have your re-
igion made a laughing stock be-

have always read that Catholics
insisted on conduct, good and
pure, whereas Luther persisted in
faith alone. The knights of Co.
lumbus of Fargo have distin-
guished themselves in running
down such falsifcations; the Bish-

against such a gratuitous insult to
the faith. Now let the Catholics
