FEDERATION.

The national convention Of the
American Federation OF Catholic
Societies at Milwaukee this week
was largely attended and the results
most gratifying. Upon all sides was
displayed American patriotism OF the
highest type and loyalty tc Holv
Mother Church. This patriotism and
loyalty was sounded by Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop Irelan1,
whose words appear elsewhere, and
the other distin suished men who ad-
dressed the convention. From the
opening to the close every subject
was calmly and thcughtfully consiA-
cred and the Catholic position made
clear upon all issues bearing upon
our country's welfare and progress.
The convention was wise in the
selection of it's officers and all its
deliberations. Next years meeting
at Baltimore will continue the Fed
eration's growth and usefulness.
which is now manifest throughout
the entire country. As the official
reports were not ready for this week,
they will appear in later issues.

A MEXICAN HARUsPEx.

When Porfirio Diaz was President
of the Mexican republic that country
prospered. In recent years American
trusts and syndicates acquired large
interests there in mines and oils.
Local jealousy naturally arose and a
good deal of unrest was produced in
consequence. With a view to con-
trolling an incipient revolution, a
treaty with Japan was projected
whereby arms and men might be
called upon when necessary. For a
reward Lower California was to be
coded to Japan. This treaty was
secret, but was discovered by United
States officials, a photograph copy
being now in the State Department
at Washington. Madero announced
himself as willing to be President in
place of Diaz. He started his revo-
luton in San Antonio and was
Supported with arms and ammuni-
ton in this country. The trusts as
sisted him. He succeeded in busting
Diaz and multiplying the treaty. He
was assassinated and the Govern
ment was seized by Huerta, who now
occupies the chair though not
elected. The United States has not
acknowledged the present Govern
ment and the trusts are getting but
little from their donated acres.
Japan asks the Mexican republic to
allow immigration of japanese to
one of the Western States OF the
republic so as to be on hand if nee
sessary. The concession was probably
not granted as yet. but may be. II
the United States interfere the con-
cession is sure and we shall have to
reckon with Japan as well as Mex
leo. Our diplomats are aware Of this
danger and prudently keep off for
the present. The Japanese want the
Philippine Islands, and there are
enough of them in Hawaii to settle
matters there. In case of war with
Mexico Japan is ready to pay off old
scores and she has upward OF
$4,000 men, everyone traiGed sol
diers, located in California and along
the American coast. This army can
be ready in two days. We have
reason to be cautious and every
reason to keep out of trouble with
Mexico.
The foregoing from the Catholic
Advance is an exposition of the
present situation that will enlighten
many and win approval for President
Wilson's course.

ST. MICHAEL's PICNIC.

Next Wednesday St. Michael's con-
gregation, of which Rev. Martin

getic pastor, will hold it's picnic at
Spring Bank Park. On the shaded

tions and pleasing features, including
a holly contested baseball game at
2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Euchre
and lotto games will begin at 8
O'Clock, with $3.50 in gold as first
prize for each in addition to many
other handsome awards. In addition
to the foregoing there promises to be
some excitement about the wheels,
where the prizes will be eagerly
sought. The ladies of the Altar So
ciety will spread a sumptuous ban
quet, adults twenty-five cents and
children fifteen cents, that all will
enjoy. This parish is noted for its
fine picnics, and the general public
is cordially invited to spend pleas

st. Michael's.

PRAISES SOCIETIES.

Cardinal Gibbons, speaking in
praise of the Federation of Catholic
Societies, paid handsome tribute to
the knights of Columbus when he
said:
MAY we not with propriety apply
the words of the Apostle to cur
Federated Societies, whose good
works extend throughout the length
and breadth of the United States?
And If | may single out enc society
without prejudice to the merits of
the others, l will name in a par
ticular manner that splendid organi-
cation, the knights of Columbus
They are our joy and crown. They
are the glory of Jerusalem. They
are the joy of Israel. They are the
honor of our people. Wherever
calumny raises it's foul head they
are ever ready, like true knights, to

peal is made in the cause of religion
or charity they are always foremost

EDUCATE THE CHILDREN.

One of the vacation months are
gone, and this impels the Catholic
Telegraph to ask what provisions
are parents making for their sons
and daughters who have finished the
primary courses? When at all pos
sible. they should strive to continue
the education of their children. The
trained mind can better direct tho
working hands than one unframed.
and efficiency is the demand of the
day In all fields OF endeavor. The
small amount the earning boy and

prove poor investment in the long
run. since neither physically or
mentally are they equal to the labor
demanded OF them. II is true that

INTO EVERY HOME.

II would recommend" said Arch
bishop Christie. addressing the con-
vention Of the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Catholic Societies, that
you strive to introduce into every
Catholic home weekly visit from a
Catholic newspaper. This Will
strengthen our Catholics by instruc-
ton and in great part prevent leak
AXE from the church. A home with
out Catholic paper is like school
without God. and we find that In
such homes there are those who miss
mass and neglect the sacraments and
their other religious duties.

ready disturbing factor in the settle
ment of the problem of representation
in the national conventions.
In summing up the whole question
we find first that regular Republicans
are anxious to give their Progressive
brethren an excuse for returning to
the fold by removing the inequitabie,
not to say scandalous, conditions which
have accompanied representation from
States of the solid South; second, that
many Republicans also feel that the
reduction in personnel ought not to be
accomplished by condoning disfran-
chisement; third, that any effort to
base representation upon the number
of votes cast will be opposed by Re-
publicans who are citizens of States
where woman suffrage has not been
legalized. Altogether, it is an inter-
esting situation; and its discussion be-
comes important when it is apparent
that a very influential element in the
Republican party is determined upon
national conference next fall. at which
the subject shall be fully considered.
1t is going to take some wisdom to
adjust all the complications which the
situation presents.
