The A. P. A. organization of Min
the American League of
Patriotic Voters, The Guardians of
Liberty, and other organizations for
the same purpose designated by any
other name, have been holding high
revel in one of the Minneapolis
churches this week. An imported
speaker was engaged to tell the
peaceful citizens of Minneapolis Won
drous tales about their Catholic
neighbors which they have not been
able to discover by constant friend
ship and association for many years.
Better let such ranters go unmolest-
ed. Those who have voice in
church matter in the Unitarian are
in very poor business when thus en-
tering upon campaign of SANDER
and calumny against their Catholic
neighbors. Yet they would wonder
at other times why the seats are
empty and why decent people do not
regularly go to church. Is the pres
ent campaign the result of go-to-
church Sunday? Or do the memb ers
of the Unitarian church consider
that they have no place in the world
except as they import scandal mong-
ers to blaspheme and mock at the
Catholic church. A poor excuse for
existence.

MoNsIGNIoR BENSON SPEAKS OF
BRITISH NovELIsTs.
Eminent Convert Sums Up His opin.
ions Of Novelists Of His Own
Country.

Thackeray-The most perfect ex-
ponent of the early Victorian novel.
Sir Walter Scott am entirely
unable to read him. I've tried and
persevered again and again.
The Brontes-Whenever l try to
read a novel by one of the Brontes
seem to feel oppressed by a horrible
sort of nightmare with too many
clothes on the bed.
Henry Kingsley - put Henry
Kingsley in the highest class Of those
who keep perfect balance between
exterior events and interior psycholo-
gy. 1t is true, he is full of misinfor-
nation. His idea of priest is man
who perpetually wears soft slippers
in order that he may listen at key
holes. If may mention it in the
presence of His Eminence, his idea of
Cardinal is that if you have $4,000
you can become one.
r. L. Stevenson-If it is true that
he wrote for boys, then any person
who is not boy ought to be ashamed
of himself. 1t. is perfectly certain he
is one of the immortals.
Meredith - George Meredith was
preaching a gospel, and those who
say to the contrary do not under
stand what words mean. His gospel
was that humanity is thing which
really matters.
Thomas Hardy - Very unsatisfac-
tory about the external elements OF
life.
Henry James-Has a certain exte-
rior weakness. One feels that he
does not know what he means by an
exterior force-what Christians call
the will of God. The thing that mat
tiers to him is the Interpretation of
human nature.
Anthony Hope-The high priest of
modern society. It is in his psyche.
logical novels that Anthony Hope
best carries on the tradition of the
modern school. You feel when any
thing happens in his books that it is
more or less an interruption to the
story.
Mrs. Mary Cholmondeley-I don't
know whether her books will live ul-
timately, but l am perfectly sure they
will live very long time. She
stands out among contemporary wom-
en- writer's as one of the most sane,
wholesome and clean writer's we have.
H. G. Wells-He is the almost per-
feet example of the balanced novelist
and my enthusiasm for him has no
bounds. He is a novelist, l firmly be-
lieve, who is a genius, and think he
will end as Catholic and feudal-
list. OF course, am speaking only of
his books.

ALL RELIGION WILL VANISH uN.
DER THE SOCIALIST
REGIME.
Prominent Authority Says That So.
ciaIism viii Leave No Room
for Christianity.

In maintaining that Socialism means
the subversion of religious beliefs, no
well-informed man contends that I'M
der Socialism people of religious be-
liefs will be hanged and chartered,
Socialism is incompatible with the
Christian philosophy of life. Social
ism would substitute world view
without religion. Morality without re-
ligion is like a substantial structure
built on quicksand.
While persons of religious convic-
lions may have some apprehensions
about entrusting their future to
movement that has in it's ranks
host of rabid haters of Christ, the
real menace of Socialism to Christian
ity is not 80 much to be feared as pro.
ceeding from the possibility of vio-
lence as rather from such tactics as
preceded the French Revolution.
Would-be science, ridiculing faith, ex-
Guiding religious teaching from the
schools-these are the Socialist weap-
ons.
In his book on the larger aspect of
Socialism, William English Walling
says:
1--WE may slightly paraphrase Be-
bells statement above given and say
that the majority of Socialists ar.
firmly convinced that Socialism and
modern science must finally lead to a
state of society where there will be
no room whatever for religion in any
form. Bebel is certainly correct when
he denies that Socialists will make
any violent onslaught on religion, even
in its crudest form, as long as it re-
mains, as it does in some Protestant
churches, practically matter of indi-
vidual conscience, and not an organ
lied doctrine. But he equally repre-
sents the views of the overwhelming
majority of Socialists in all countries
where Socialism has become an inn
portant factor in society, when he ex-
presses the belief that all that we
know by the name of religion is likely
to disappear without any violent at
tack, and when he works to hasten
that day."
These words coming from an au.
thority on Socialism stand in bold
contrast with the utterances Of so
called Christian Socialists.

Beyond that age religious education,
in all other than public schools would
be freely permitted. This restriction
of religious education to the year of
judgment and discretion implies no
hostility to religion on the part of the
State. but neutrality. Not the least
important of the rights of the child is
the right to be protected from influ-
ences which bias the mind and de-
stroy the possibilities in later life, or
make it attainable only as result of
bitter, needless, tragic experience

Demand for the Suppression Of the
Italian "L'Asino."

The steps taken by the northern
journal, "Avanti Savoria," for the
suppression of the "Asino" by the
Government is the most practical of
the several attempts made to put an
end to the scandal caused by the pub
LEGATION of this vile sheet. To the pc
tition presented to King Victor Eman-
uel were attached thousands of
names belonging to people of every
grade in life, so that if suppression
does not follow, the public will get to
know that for the prevention of the
evil caused by the "Asino," which is
supported by secret funds, his Males
ty is powerless. The petition says:
your Majesty,-In defense of these
liberties which were won by the blood
of your ancestors, and respecting the
laws that are the bulwarks of the in
situations of the country, the under
signed, belonging to all social grades
and devoid of all ideas of politics or
partfsanship, request an immediate
and authoritative Intervention on the
part of your Majesty in order that, in
the name of the people of Italy, you
may order the cessation of source
of indecency which has been the
cause of indignation for long time.
To do this, it is enough to apply the
clauses of the Penal Code. Violating
the first Article of the Statute of the
Kingdom, which is the foundation of
our national unity, a weekly illustrat-
ed paper, published in Rome, has for
years outraged, derided, and insulted
the sacred figure of the aged pastor
who, with the tiara of Peter, represents
the Catholic religion. This weekly
outrage, allowed to pass unpublished
by complacent authorities, must cease
for the honor of Italy's good name.
With reason, foreigners wonder at
seeing such treatment meted out to
him whose person is officially declar-
ed sacred and inviolable'"

FIR. cantweII and the Catholic Press.

Fr. cantwelI and the Catholic Press.
Father Cantwell, editor of the
Newark, N. j., Monitor. confesses
that, at intervals, he has grown weary
of the thankless task of editing
Catholic paper. But he has never rel
ished the idea of giving up a fight be-
cause he was not eminently victorious
"a Celtic characteristic, and not a
bad one when softened with touch
of Celtic humor.
Most Catholic editors can appreciate
Father Cantwells feelings, for their
task is not an easy one. But there are
also great opportunities for doing good
through the Catholic press, and these
atone for many discouragements. We
fully agree with DR.. Cantwell in this
estimate of the Importance of the
Catholic press:
He is blind who cannot see that the
press is the third of that trinity
the church, the school and the press!
We have built our churches; we
have founded, wherever possible, our
schools; but have we established, and
do we support, our press?
The Catholic paper goes where there
is no church and where even the pos
sibility of a Catholic school is not
dreamed of. The Catholic paper is a
tireless missionary, speaking to men
in their silent hours to them without
restraint yet without offense. The
Catholic paper is the church and the
school brought into the home. 1t en-
lightens, it strengthens, it explains, it
illustrates, it defends, it allures, it sug.
gests, it commands! 1t takes the SER
mon from the pulpit and scatters it
throughout the community. It is a
magic messenger bearing the seed of
Gods word to SOW it wherever there
is human heart open to receive it!
Hasten the day when our Catholic
laity will know and appreciate the i'm
portance of the Catholic press!
And hasten first the day when our
Catholic clergy will awaken to their
duty! ~

1.-THE great menace of the country

Menace" for its days are counted,
but the spirit of ignorance, fear and
hatred out of which such mad pa
pers and orators arise.
ITO me it will seem that the Cath
Ollie church is not so much a menace
as 1t is a challenge. 1t challenges
the entire Protestant church to
awaken and become a greater power
for good in the lives of men. 1t bids
the various denominations to work
together in harmony for the kingdom
of God and put aside all pickering
and Jealousy.

to rival it in good works. 1t tells the
Protestant church that it will never

ings than the Catholic church gives
through its doctrines and its sacra.
ments.
ut asks Protestants not to forget
that the Catholic church is the moth
er church Of Chrisendom and has full
filled great mission in the world in
spite of many failings.
"And it has its challenge for the
free man in religion. It bids him to
prove his greater, nobler faith by
nobler. greater works. It tells him
that the liberal who is Indifferent to
his greater faith is less to be respect
ed than the loyal worshipper who
bows before some humble shrine by
the wayside.
IF we believe in God of love who
needs no atonement, but Who is
ever ready to forgive, we should show
forth contrite hearts worthy of for
giveness. And, finally, Catholicism
bids us to strive in love and truth for
the truly Catholic, the universal
church. in which there is place for
all who struggle and aspire, for all
churches and denominations. heretics
and orthodox.
IF we are members of the true
universal church, we shall never see
any menace in any church that tries
to lead men into a higher and better
life. little matter if her truth be not

The Approaching French Elections.
In view of the approaching cleo
lions the French Bishops are issuing
exhortations to the Catholic voters
requesting them to demand Of candi-
dates pledges to oppose all legisla-
tive measures inimical to the inter-
ests of religion. Already several as
sociations of Catholic lay republicans
have been formed for the purpose Of
securing from candidates promises of
support for a program that aims at
the freedom of the Church and the
destruction of the state monopoly Of
the primary schools, and also the re-
newal Of diplomatic relations with

mo greater helper to the Catholic

the orator who INDUCES in gross mis-

ears of certain foolish people, but he
will disgust the thinking men and

and excite loyalty in the hearts of
the luke-warm Catholic.

attack Catholic asceticism.
