The Catholic Church will be
strong or feeble in American society.
according as the lives of Catholic
men are pure and true. or corrupt
and false. If this Federation is
union of men and societies animated
by the spirit of faith, and ruled by
the strict principles of Christian
morality. the Gospel of Christ will
operate and energize through it in
every place, so that when two mil
lion Christian men move with one
will, and speak with one voice for
truth and justice, no power can with
stand them.
By our faith in Jesus Christ and
it's unchanging doctrines, we hold in
our hands the future stability and
peace of this country, and, the princi-
pies of conscience, honesty, and per-
sonal responsibility upon which it
rests. Religious education, Catholic
faith and Catholic morality are the
only living forces which can save
marriage, save the family, protect
property, defend the poor and weak,
save the State itself, from the per-
lis of maternalism, secularism, and
the cruelty and sensuality of pagan
ism.
What Federation Has Accomplished.
The question is frequently asked.
What has the Federation accom-
plished during the seven years of Its
existence?" Prominent may be men
toned: Assisting in the creation of
Catholic public opinion in the Uni
ted States. Urged the repeal of the
obnoxious marriage law in Cuba.
Betterment of conditions in the
Philippine Islands and Porto Rico.
Appointment of Catholics on the In
dian and Philippine Commissions.
Permission granted for the celebra-
ton of Holy Mass in the navy yards
and public institutions
prisons and reform schools. Urged
the appointment of Catholic army
chaplains. Assisting Catholic Indian
Schools. Assisting Catholic Negro
missions. Introduction of Catholic
books in public libraries. Fostering
friendly relations between societies
especially of different nationali-
ties. A move toward stricter divorce
laws. Revision of histories and
books of reference prejudicial to the
Catholic Church. Assisted in the re-
storation by the Government of ra'
tions to Catholic Indian scholars. and
in the defeat of the Barn amendment
affecting the rights of Catholic In
dians. Final acceptance of the Faith

SONG OF THE LITTLE VILLAGES.
The pleasant little villages that grace
the Irish glynns,
Down along the wheat-fields-up
amid the whins.
The little white-walled villages
crowding close together,
Clinging to the Old Sod in spite of
wind and weather:
Ballytarney, Ballymore, Bally-
boden, Boyle,
Ballingarry. Ballymagorry by the
banks of Foyle,
Ballylaneen. Ballyporeen. Bansha,
Ballysodare,
Ballybrack, Ballinalack, Barna
Ballyclare.
The cozy little villages that shelter
from the mist.
Where the great West Walls by
ocean spray are kissed;
The happy little villages that cud-
die in the sun,
Where blackberries ripen and the
harvest work is done.

The dreamy little villages. where

Old shanachies with ghostly tale the
boldest hearts alright.
The grooming of the wind-blast is the
wailing Banshee's cry,
And when the silver hazels stir they
say the fairies sigh.

Principles of the American Fedora
tion of Catholic Societies.
The American Federation of Cath
olic Societies is a union of Catholic
societies and parishes under the
guidance of the Hierarchy, for the
purpose of impressing Christian
principles on the public mind, to the
end that these principles may be-
come the basis of all moral, civil,
social and business dealings. This
movement has it's justification in the
growing and widespread conviction
that the peace, prosperity and happi-
ness of all can be secured only by
bringing Christian principles into
every phase of the Nations life.
This Federation may be consid-
cred as an organized representative
of every form of Catholic activity,
and, within certain limits, the guard
ian of Catholic rights and interests,
which are threatened and violated by
materialism and secularism, and the
false and pernicious theories and
practices which spring from them.
The aims of the Federation are
religious and patriotic; they are the
public interest of all American citi-
zens who believe in divine Lawgiv-
er and in the revelation of divine
religion through Christ our Savior.
The principle objects of our Or
ganization and labors may be defined
to be:
1. The Christian education of
youth.
2. The sanctity and perpetuity of
Christian marriages as the basis of
the family, and the preservation of
the morality and happiness of the
home.
8. To correct error and expose
falsehood and injustice. whether in
Misrepresentation of history, doc
trine, or principles or morality.
4. To oppose and root out the
great social and political evils which
confront and menace us-socialism
anarchy, perversion of marriage, di-
vorce, dishonesty in business, cor
ruption in politics and the Offices OF
public trust, the lawlessness OF
wealth and the law-defeating power
of money, the evasion of justice and
the widespread disregard for law.
If this Federation is true to the
Catholic principles upon which II
rests. it must stand for whatsoever
is Just and true; it must stand uni
ted whole against whatsoever Ii
false, unjust and opposed to the laws
of God.
To carry out the purpose of thi'
association, every force of religious
activity, pastors and people, bishops
priests and laymen, speakers ant
writer's, must be solidly united t.
sneak with one voice and act will
one will for God and our country
We must make the Federation al

- liberation.
CASE WAS PENDING FOUR YEARS

Peter @. Thomson, president Of the
Champion Coated Paper Company, of
Hamilton. Ohio, yesterday was acquitted
of a charge of bribery by jury, in JUS
tice Gould's court, after fifteen minutes
deliberation.
The trial had been in progress for four
weeks.
The charge was brought against Mr..
Thomson in May. 1910. The case had
been set for trial five times and as often
postponed.
Thomson was charged by the govern
ment with sending 800 to Capt w. P.
Zantzinger, a postoffice inspector on duty
at the Government Printing Office. who
had to pass on the paper supplied by
Thomsons concern.
Thomson claimed he had nothing to do
with this branch of the business; that
his son, Peter Thomson, jr-, was in
charge of it, and that therefore the in
dictment should not hold against him.
Wade II. Ellis. of Ellis & Donaldson.
was principal counsel for Thomson. and
made chief argument for the defense.

Wife, Greeted.

From the hesitation to the one-step
to the wedding march. This was the
triple play pulled on" on the dancing
pavilion at Glen Echo Park last night.
Just before the close Of their exhibi-
ton. Miss Lillian Taylor and Howard
Leslie Holt were given a shock when
the orchestra suddenly switched from
the dance number to the wedding march
and showers of rice fell all about them.
The rest of the evening, Mr.. and Mrs.
Holt as they will be known In the
future, were busy explaining to those
of their friends who had not heard the
news. just what It all meant.
For a long time past the pair Of them
had made UP their minds that they
wanted to be life partners as well as
dancing partners. but as hesitation cut
SO important a figure in their daily
occupation 1t was natural that a delay
ensued Recently, however, without
taking anyone into their confidence ex-
cept one close friend Of Mrs. Holt, they
slipped away quietly to Baltimore and
took the one-step that made them man
and wife. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. DIR. Sharp,
Then came some more hesitation and
there's no telling when those outside
the immediate family would have heard
the news IL il had not leaked out yes
terday. Tomorrow Mr.. and Mrs. Holt
will finish their engagement at Glen
Echo and then of for a honeymoon
they go.
