DISTORTED.

A few days ago cable dispatch
from Rome announced that priests
had been forbidden to 'join labor
unions in Italy on the ground that
the organizations provoke class
hatred and consequently division
among Catholics" The decree OF the
Sacred Consistorial Congregation, on
which this dispatch of the Associated
Press was based, has now arrived,
and we find that it has nothing
whatever to do with labor unions and
is only another instance OF the
curious way the Associated Press has
of distorting Catholic news. The
plain facts of the case are these:
Certain ill-advised priests In the
north of Italy had joined associations
of Syndicalists, whose doctrine OF
"direct action" in social questions is
subversive of all authority, both
human and divine. The Holy See
very properly and promptly forbade
priests to have anything whatever to
do with such revolutionary associa-
tons.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The great war is on. From tne
outset the prospect looked threaten
ing and the result has confirmed
the worst fears of the friends OF
peace. The war seems destined now
to be a general conflict involving at
least five, II not more, Of the great
European powers. 1t will be a
mighty struggle, perhaps the great
est in the annals of time, and the
consequences will be far-reaching
and tremendous for the future
President Wilson rendered his offices
to the European rulers in behalf OF
peace. but there are no indications
that they will be accepted. the
United States has declared lor
neutrality, and it is the earnest hope
of every loyal citizen that there Will
be no violations of the Presidents
proclamation. Meantime all chris
tians should pray that peace may
soon again prevail.

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION.

PROVOCATION.

The following is clipped from the
Peril. an A. P. A. sheet, and relates
to the experiences of two OF their
correspondents in the Church OF st.
Jean Baptiste in New York City on
a feast day:
While they were about it, the
reporters determined to explore a
confessional box. To do this they
went upstairs, where there are four
boxes on each side of the church, in
each of which priest was hearing
confessions. These confession boxes
are of the "double-barrelled" kind,
having a place for one penitent at
each end. while the ''Father Con-
fessor' sits in the middle. Over
these confession boxes were the
names of the REV. FIR. Schaienck,"
REV. FIR. Roy" REV. FIR. Quimet,
REV. FIR. Lechance," etc.
The reporters got in line at the
"Rev. FIR. Schaienck's" confession
box, and when II came to their turn,
they entered one at a time, and told
him OF a lot of mythical sins they
had committed. The 'Holy Father"
told one of the reporters that in
pennance for his sins he must SAY
fifty Hail Marys" and take Holy
Communion on Friday and Sunday.
And then some people wonder
why Catholics lose their temper and
assault this class of skunks when
they appear in public with their in
sulting lectures and TRADES.

made in the different events, which
caused Officer Pat Connors to re-
mark that he was willing to wager
that he could beat the time made in
circling the bases. Officers Jake
Wehrley and Albert Mathis are OF
the opinion that a field day pat
termed after the Twin City meet be-

and suggested that the proceeds
would greatly aid the fire and police
