Ten Catholic priests have vol
unteered to serve in the army or
navy in case of war with Mexico.
How many clerical Guardians of
Liberty or Knights of Luther have
offered their services? Several Sis
terhoods are ready to send as
many nurses as may be required
to minister to the wounded and
dying soldiers on battlefield and
in hospital if there be an actual
clash Of arms. Is it not time for
some of the patriotic" organiza-
lions to be heard from? They
should be ashamed to let the ennis
saries of Rome be the first in the
field. Everyone knows that the
patriotism of a bigot is in inverse
ratio to his professions of loyalty.
He prefers to be live bigot rath-
er than a dead hero.

The notorious anti-C Catholic lee
turer, Anna Lowry, who styles
herself an ex-nun, was arrested at
Rushford, Mimi, on May II, on a
warrant sworn out by Miss Mary
O'Brien Of Winona, charging her
with the use Of improper language
in an address ''for women only"
delivered in the Philharmonic
Hall, Winona, on March Is. When
this case comes to trial it is not
unlikely that many of the women
prominent in social circles in Wi
mona, who revelled in the salacious
slush dished out to them by Anna
on that occasion will be asked to
testify in court as to what she
said. A warrant was issued for
her arrest after the lecture but she
left town Immediately and went
over to Wisconsin to escape the
consequences Of her obscene talk
to the social leaders Of Winona So
ciety who crowded the hall for the
purpose of listening to her anti
Catholic expose of things which
should not be mentioned among
Christians.

AN LNDuLGENcED PLEDGE.

The Catholic religion teaches self
denial and self-controI. Self-abnega-
ton is often necessary for the health
of body and soul. Our Lord and His
saints practiced it. Abstinence from
intoxicating drinks is form Of self
denial which is especially useful
Strong drink with many persons Gre
ates an unnatural craving that leads
to ruin. Now one who abstains may
make his abstinence an act of merito-
rfous penanCe and at the same time
guard himself against acquiring a dam
gerous appetite and habit. To encour-
age temperance and abstinence, Pope
Plus x has granted by Pontifical let
ter dated at Rome, April 6, 1904, a
special indulgence of 800 days, ap-
plicable to the souls in Purgatory,
daily to all who in a spirit of faith
and penance recite the following Of
fering:
ooh my God and Father, to show
my love for Thee, to repair Thy in
jured honor and to obtain the saliva
ton of souls, / firmly resolve not to
take wine, alcoholic liquors or any
intoxicating drink this day. And 1
offer Thee this act of self-denial in
union with the sacrifice of Thy Son
Jesus Christ, Who daily mandates
Himself for Thy glory on the altar.
Amen"

The Catholic Press Club of Wi
mona, which was organized some
time ago to further the interests
of Catholic publications among
the Catholics of Southern Mime
sofa, has taken charge of the de-
partment Of Catholic periodicals
and books at McNie s Book Store,
which, after May Is, will change
hands and be known as William s
Book Store. The Club has pub
lished in the public press Of Vino
ma a list Of Catholic publications
which it keeps on hand and about
which it is prepared to give infor-
nation to prospective subscribers.
Miss Mary O'Brien is secretary of
the Club. Other cities might,
with profit, initiate the example
set by Winona for the purpose of
bringing about a more widespread
interest in Catholic newspapers
and periodicals. The movement
is worthy of the commentator
and support of all who are inter
ested in the spread of Catholic
literature.

boost the circulation of the SEN
tlnel. There is, no doubt, among
the Masons, as among other or
CARNATIONS, individuals who ac-
cept without questioning the SLAM
derous statements about the
Church made by anti Catholic
publications; but the more intel
lgent do not believe the false
hoods so industriously circulated
by publications of the class in
which the Sentinel claims pre-
eminence.
Some time ago a representative
OF the Menace visited Fremont,
Ohio, and after scraping up ac-
quaintance with citizen of that
town who wore a Masonic pin,
asked that he be furnished with
the names of local people likely
to be interested in the Aurora
publication. His Masonic ac-
quaintance asked him to give the
names of the subscribers to the
Menace in Fremont, but he would
not agree to do this, "for the peo-
pie who gave him their subscrip-
tions in Fremont made him prom
Use that he would not reveal their
names.'
The Fremont citizen said that
he did not see how it was pos
sible for him to help the Menace
with a list Of names, but he felt
like making suggestion that
might be of some benefit to the
publishers. The suggestion was
as follows:
"The Masonic Order in the
United States has been greatly
annoyed by persons who have cir
culated reports that it encourages
the circulation of The Menace
and that it approves Of it's policy
OF attacking the Catholic Church.
These reports are untrue, and the
Masonic sovereign grand lodge
has sent circular letter to all
subordinate lodges in this country
stating that the Masonic Order
has no interest in the publication
or circulation Of THE Menace
and has not in any way approved
it's policy Of attacking Catholics.
[ am going to take the liberty Of
warning you not to approach
members of the Masonic body
seeking to obtain from them the
names of persons to solicit for
subscriptions to your publica-
ton"
This is only single incident,
it is true, but it shows the atti-
tude of the Masonic Order, as a
whole, towards publications that
vilify the Church and question the
patriotism Of American Catholics.
It is not surprising that inteli-
gent non-Catholics take this atti-
tude, for they have sense enough
to know that their Catholic fell
low-citizens are not the unprin-
cipled and unpatriotic wretches
which they are said to be by big
oted publishers whose sole aim it
is to coin money by lying about
their Catholic neighbors whose
patriotism is not of the brand of
those who are 'invincible in peace
and invisible in war"

Memorial Law Library" has been
established permanently in the Law

parents. 1t was evidently a clear
case of proselytizing and, after an
extended hearing, the Surrogate
decided that all the allegations as
to proselytizing were sustained
and removed the guardian.
Judge Noble in his decision
says: "The testimony given on
the trial of this matter sustains
the petition in every respect.
The acts complained of, in view of
the decisions and according to the
common law, are sufficient to
cause the removal Of the guardian
and the appointment of one who
will give the infants proper relig-
ious, moral and mental training. ="
He suggested that as there are no
relatives in this country to whom
the custody of the children and
their estates can be entrusted,
Father Higgins make application
for that purpose.
Another decision which estab-
fishes precedent and may in
duence future rulings in cases en-
volving the religious training of
children, was given in the Juvenile
Court Of Philadelphia, recently
when Judge German, in the case
of William Keegan, seven years
old, ruled that children must be
educated in the faith in which
they were baptized until they be-
came competent to request a
change. After the death Of the
boys father some time ago the
child was placed under the care of
family by the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.
Later the mother obtained permits
sion to have the boy placed in
Girard College. Father Thompson
of St. Patrick Church, told
Judge German the boy had been
baptized Catholic and that the
mother had promised her husband
that the child would be educated
in that faith. The judge thereupon
decided that the boy must be edu-
Gated in the Catholic faith until
he becomes old enough to decide
for himself.

We are reminded almost daily by
the press Of the miseries which are.
caused, the lives which are lost, the
crimes Of the deepest dye,
are committed through ex-
cess in drink. These reminders should.
inspire an ever increasing zeal and
activity in combating the evil of in
temperance. We should look to our
temperance societies, taking care,
where they exist, that they do not
dwindle through lack of vigilance, at
tention and earnest, persevering work.
Where they do not exist, if these be.
any parish in the archdiocese to
which such reproach applies, they
should be at once established, not in.
a slfpshod, perfunctory manner, but
with vigor and diligence. which will
prove that the promoters are in

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
IRISH NATIONAL T. A. CONGRESS.

The holding of the first Irish Ma
tional Catholic Total Abstinence Con-
gress in June of this year will mark
notable stage in the progress of
the temperance cause throughout Ire
land. A remarkable change in the
public mind on drinking customs" in
Irish social life has been effected
within the past decade, and the cred
it for this wholesome change is large
ly due to the continuous missionary
work of the Franciscan Capuchin Fa-
theirs in all parts of the country. The
congress will be held in Dublin on
Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 26,
and will open with Pontifical High
Mass, with sermon, in the Pro-Cathe
dral, Marlborough street, the Arch

SCRIPTURE SCHOLAR DEAD
FATHER HUMMELAUER, 8. j., WAS
AN EMINENT AUTHORITY ON

knabenbauer, s. j., in bringing out the
Cursus Scripture Sacrae. He was
well known in England as professor at

A HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION.

The mortality records of all big
companies show that in proportion to
the number of men insured, more sa-
loon keepers die yearly than men in
any other work save, perhaps, rail-
road brakemen and gun testers in the
navy and army.
What is the cause Of this great
mortality among men who keep sa-
looms? Liquor, you will say, and you
are right in measure, but not wholly
SO. No doubt many saloon men do
shorten their lives by use of alcohol,
but If they do not drink at all the rate
Of insurance we charge them would
still be very high. The reason is
what we call the moral hazard. Just
what this is it is hard to say. Sum-
med up, it is merely that they die
easier and more often than men in
other occupations.
Detailed, it is, in a general way,
they are open to greater temptations,
break down their resistance, and many
of them contract diseases where 9TH
er men would not How many saloon
men have died of pneumonia during
the winter? Scores of them, usually.
And pneumonia is not the only dis
ease. Their money is made easily
(speaking of the saloon owner), and
among that class easily won money,
means that it is spent easily. Easily
spent means a free and easy manner
of life, which cuts years relentlessly
from the lives of men.
Then there is the mortality through
accident The list of saloon men who
have been shot or killed with blow
from bottle, or in brawls and meIees
is long, especially among the poorer
class saloons"
The man behind the bar does not
look upon his job as dangerous, no
matter what the insurance companies
say However, it is interesting to
know how these big insurance COM
panies look upon one who occupies
such a position.

RED CROSS MISSIONARIES.

LII G1C CuI C1lC 4oouC VI GuC LA
tension" the Editor, Rev. DR.. KEEL
ley, points out that the National
Red Cross Society is cutting away
from it's non-sectarian mornings,
by acting as the advance agent
of American Professionalism in
Mexico. He says:
"Mr. Charles Jenkinson writes
himself down as the Special Rep
resentative Of the American Ma
tional Red Cross in Mexico. He
contributes an article to the
March number Of the Missionary
Review Of the World on the re-
ligious conditions of the Mexican
West Coast; which article,
summed up, is an invitation to
our Protestant brethren to enter
in and take possession, now that
there has been practically polit-
ical separation from the Roman
Catholic Church. Mr.. Jenkinson
informs his readers that the Cath
Ollie Church has had such a hold
previously upon the Mexican
State that Protestant missionaries,
evangelists and even churches
found great difficulty in securing
attention. Of course, Mr.. Jenkin-
son knows nothing about the
story of the relations Of the
Church to the Mexican govern
ment. He would scarcely credit
the truth-namely, that the rela-
tionship of the Church to Mexico,
during the regime Of Diaz and
Madero, was that of a bird being
swallowed by snake. There has
not been, for many years, any
thing like religious liberty in
Mexico for the Catholic Church.
Mr.. Jenkinson points out the out
RACES that have been committed
against the Church by the present
military authorities. He forgets
the outrages formerly committed.
He believes that Huerta has
aroused the ire of the Church and
that, therefore, Professionalism has
a splendid opportunity. He fails
to speak of the priests assassinated
by Villa.
eft is very kind, however, of
Mr.. Jenkinson, to point out oppor-
tunities to his co-religionists in
America. We had supposed up to
this time that the Red Cross was
a non-sectarian institution, col
lecting funds from all citizens of
this country regardless of relig-
ious faith, to help where help was
needed. Now, it appears that the
agents of the American National
Red Cross are simply agents of
American Professionalism acting
as 'look-outs for the good fields,
in order that Protestant mission
airy efforts may be directed toward
them. This is valuable informa-
ton to Catholics who like to con-
tribute to such 'non-sectarian
institutions as the Y. M. G. A. and
the American National Red
Cross"
In view of the foregoing, is it
not about time for all who have
heretofore regarded the Red Cross
Society as purely philanthropic
organization to revise their views
in regard to its non-sectarian char
acterY If Mr.. Jenkinsen is to be
regarded as its spokesman, it must
hereafter be set down as a prose
lytising institution. We have not
heard that the Red Cross has re-
pudiated Mr.. Jenkinsen and hence
we conclude that he voices its
official attitude. IL he does not,
then the Red Cross Society, In
order to retain the goodwill and
financial support of its Catholic
well-wishers, must get rid of him
without delay in order to free it
self from all suspicion of Sec
tartan leanings.
