THE DYING.

The general intention of the
League Of the Sacred Heart for
November, recommended by His
Holiness Pope Benedict XIV is
"The Dying" The League leaflet
says:
eve are invited during this
month Of the Holy Souls to pray
with especial fervor for the eter-
nal salvation Of those who are
each day in their last agony, on
the verge of passing to the judg-
ment-seat of God. 1t has been
estimated that on an average
100000 people die every day, that
is, nearly 100 every minute. When
battles are raging, the number is
much increased.
"The world is so large, and we
are so scattered, that we do not
appreciate the fact that we are
losing so many every day. We
read the death notices in the pa
per. Sometimes the list is long
enough to impress us and some
times we see the name of one
whom we saw but few days be-
fore, apparently in good health.
These facts strike us, but we for
get them as soon as we have laid
the paper down.
eve shrink from the thought
of death; but it ought to be
familiar tO'us, both for our own
care in preparing to meet it and
to arouse our charitable prayers
for the poor sinners who may be
suddenly summoned to their last
reckoning. Through this dread OF
death it sometimes happens that
Catholics are allowed to pass
away without receiving the last
Sacramento. The priest is called
too late.
"On our fidelity to the Morning
Offering during November may
depend the welfare of many souls
Those for whom we pray and who
through our prayers are granted
the grace of happy death will
surely strive to repay us and in
spire others to make intercessior
for us, when we are lying on oul
death-beds. You know not the
day or the hour Your prayer
for the dying may even be 6
prayer for yourself. F"

ALCOHOL AND THE COST OF
PRISON MAINTENANCE.

What do alcoholic delinquents cost
the state? If we consult the financial
statistics of prisons we see that they
appear to cost the state relatively
small sum. This is because it is
natural to make prisoners work, some
times at hard work, and as prisoners
are for the most part men in the
prime of life, they do enough work to
maintain themselves.
But we must remember that all
these men taken from active, per-
sonal and voluntary productiveness
would have been, if they had not COM
mitted their crimes, working to sup
port their families that are now in
need. They would have produced
enough to provide the state with
revenues from the products of their
work.
Moreover, in order to avoid escapes
from prison there must be guards and
a system of functionaries devoting all
their time to non-productive activity.
Prisoners cost us, therefore, much
more than they appear to, and alco-
holic criminality constitutes a sensible
burden for the state. For it must be
recollected that all of these alcoholic
delinquents have had to be tried be-
fore they were sentenced to prison
and the trial is often the outcome of
long investigation at large cost for
the state. DR. p Hercod

THE COST OF ALCOHOLIC
CRIMINALITY.

Numerous inquiries added to daily
experiences warrant the conclusion
that alcohol is an important factor in
criminality. The estimate runs from
forty to fifty and sixty per cent. The
influence of alcohol upon criminality
is manifested i'm different ways. Take
man who is usually sober. Occa-
sionally he commits an excess and
being of an excitable temperament he
does not fully comprehend what he is
doing. He loses his head in dispute
which at any other time would end
only in few warm words, but now
he seizes a weapon and deals his
adversary blow that may be mortal
Here you have the influence of an
occasional immoderate use of alcohol.
1t is a fact that most of the quarrels
ending in more or less serious conse-
quences belong to this class. And
how often a man who has lived a
blameless life must expiate, not only
by Imprisonment but by remorse as
long as he lives, blow given in a
moment of intoxication.
Alcohol leads habitual drinkers also
to crime, but by another route. The
passion that dominates them often re-
suits in the destruction of their moral
sense. In engenders in them also
ideas that come very near to insanity,
delirium of jealousy or of persecu-
ton. Thus attacked, the man who is
not suspected by his fellow citizens
to be dangerous, meditates the idea
of a frightful crime. Such alcoholics
do not act under the impulse of the
moment because they have slowly pre-
pared for the stroke, but the judges
declare them responsible or irrespon-
sible, knowing little of the psychology
of the alcoholic. There is no doubt
that the man has acted in a moment
of alcoholic insanity even if his crime
appears at first to have been pre-
meditated like that Of a person OF
sound mind.
Alcohol leads to crime by another
way. The drinker is in the habit OF
sacrificing to his passion all moral
considerations and when reduced to
want as a result of his drinking, he
resorts to thievery or brigandage to
satisfy his thirst for alcohol.

opinion, = she says, the Catholic
clergy in Mexico is responsible
for this state of anarchy. We will
have to clean them out before we
can expect to educate the Indians.
Their priests keep them in
ignorance and subsection and go
hand in hand with the rich land
owners to treat them as slaves. :

when she uttered these words.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The situation in Mexico shows
no signs of improvement. The con-
ference Of revolutionary chiefs at
Aguas Calientes has selected
Eulalio Gutierrez as Provisional
President of the Republic; but
General Carranza, who is in ac-
tual control in Mexico City, shows
no disposition to retire in favor OF
the new chief.
Whether the government OF the
United States will recognize the
new Provisional President or not
depends upon his ability to estab-
fish a stable government. The
disturbed condition of affairs in
Mexico at the present time makes
the restoration Of law and order
almost impossible without the help
Of the United States. Carranza is
at loggerheads with Villa, Zapata
and Villareal, who control the dis
affected portion of the Constitu-
tionalist army and neither side is
willing to yield as long as there is
anything left worth fighting for
The American troops are still at
Vera Cruz. The evacuation of
that port has been made the sub
ject Of diplomatic notes between
the State Department at Washing
ton and Carranza. The American
government says that the with.
drawal Of troops will take place
as soon as Carranza guarantees
the protection of Americans In
that city, and gives assurance
that Mexicans, who served the
United States during the Ameri-
can occupation, will be protected
and that a satisfactory under
standing is reached regarding the
customs receipts. In all this there
| is no word about the persecution
to which Catholics have been sub
iected in that Republic, no men
ton of any guarantee that thu
interests of the Church will b.
safeguarded by the new admins
tration and fullest religious liberty
granted to all.
The American government owes
it to the Catholic citizens of Mex
leo to put a stop to the outrage'
committed against them by thu
bandit chiefs and their followers
and to provide for the future o
| the Church in the exercise of he
rights. Had the American govern
ment not interviewed in Mexi
can affairs in the beginning, sh,
would not be morally responsible
for the conditions now prevailing
in that country; but granted, a

vention, then the American gov

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
DRINK QUESTION IN IRELAND.

The following resolution was adopted
by the first national Irish Temperance
Congress which met in Dublin a few
months ago:
"That this meeting, representative
of Catholic opinion of all classes in
Ireland and of every county and prac-
tically every parish in Ireland, declares
it's profound conviction that the tenn
perance movement claims the strong
support of all who profess to be inter-
ested in the prosperity of the country,
in the happiness of the people and in
the credit of our religion. That at the
present juncture in the history of Ire
land, when the Irish people are on
the eve of receiving a measure of
power over their own destinies, and
when at length it will be possible to
turn their attention from the fortunes
of the British political parties to their
own domestic affairs and the inner
life of the nation, we deem that the
time has come to inaugurate strong
national movement to grapple with the
admitted unsatisfactory condition of
the drink question. That this question
lies at the very foundation of the
home conditions under which our peo-
pie live, at the very threshold of the
education and home training of the
Irish child, and that it vitality affects
the physical, industrial, social, moral
and religious well-being of the people
of the nation. That, therefore, it is
the duty of the Irish people, by de-
handing legislation for the better con-
troll of the drink traffic, by educating
the young and enlightening public
opinion on the evils of intemperance,
to remove this most serious obstacle
which still blocks the path to the well
fare Of Ireland"

The cost Of educating a child
in the public schools of Mime
apolis has more than doubled In
the past eleven years, according
70 statistics compiled by Miss
Katherine Brace, Secretary to
Superintendent Spaulding. In
1902 the cost was spots, while to-
day it is 1894. In 1923 it cost
$3.50 to educate a child in the
elementary schools, while today it
costs $39.81. High school educa-
ton per pupil in 19O2-8 cost $3S.42
as compared with $685. the cost
for 1914. The cost OF heat,
light and upkeep of buildings is
not included in this reckoning
The increased cost is said to be
due to the addition of new lines OF
industrial work and care OF defec-
tive children.

an end to the intolerable situation
as far as Catholics are concerned
that has arisen in Mexico as a
result of it's policy. Nothing less
than this will rectify the original
mistake. Nothing less than this
will satisfy the eighteen millions
of American Catholics who look to
President Wilson to do justice to
their co-religionists beyond the
Rio Grande. Just at present the
Mexican question is the most i'm
portant that confronts the Wilson
administration whose future de-
ponds so largely on the way in
which it is settled.

reliable and up-to date work on
the subject which we have and it
furnishes a complete REPUTATION of
the charge that the Catholic
Church in the United States has
sustained a loss of ten millions or
even of one-fifth of that number
during the past century.
From data furnished by the
census reports and the reports of
the Commissioners of immigration
Bishop Canevin shows that, taking
the number Of foreign-born Catho-
lies and their natural increase at
the highest percentage, the whole
number Of Catholics to be ac-
counted for in the United States in
1910,i was 1S,483,320. The Official
Catholic Directory for 1911, places
the Catholic population at 1865
761-a very conservative figure as
every one admits who knows how
it's statistics are gathered. This
discrepancy does not mean that
3,864,559 Catholics are to be
counted as lost to the Church. 1t
is offset by the 100000 Italians,
including their children, and
nearly a million more made up of
later immigrants from France,
Belgians, Cubans, Spanish Ameri-
cans, and their descendants, of
whom not more than thirty per
cent would be included in the
usual parish census from which
the statistics Of the Directory are
compiled. Yet nearly all of this
eclipsed tenth are as Catholic
today as the same class of peo-
pie in the countries of their ances-
tors. Besides the merely nominal
Catholics that are passed over in
the parish census, there is very
large number Of real Catholic i'm
migrants, foreigners as they are
called, scattered all over the
United States. If the Direc-
tory included all these, the dis
crepancy would be greatly re-
duced, if it did not entirely dis
appear" In estimating the Cath
Ollie population of the United
States it must not be forgotten
that Of the millions of Catholic i'm
migrants who have come to this
country since 1900, many have
died, and the statistics Of immi-
grafton show that at least forty
per cent did not establish perma-
nent homes here.
Notwithstanding this, is it not
strange that "the statisticians
have succeeded in attributing to
the Catholic Church loss of from
ten millions to thirty millions of
adherents during the past one
hundred years. In view of the
story told by the official statistics
to which reference is here made
one need not be an expert stats
tician to understand how utterly
false is the assertion, so frequently
made, even by those who have the
interest Of the Church at heart
that defections from her ranks in
America are to be counted by the
tens of millions. It is time tC
place all such statements among
the exploded fallacies of the past
and allow them to enter into the
eternal sleep Of oblivion.

AMMUNITION FOR THE

Tt is unfortunate, to say the
least, that reputable Catholic pub
LEGATIONS continue to give pub
licity to statements so derOgatOry
to the welfare of the Church as
that which is scattered broadcast
in an article entitled, stopping
the Leakage" reprinted from the
June issue of "The Queen S
Work" Of st. Louis. According
to the learned editor of this pub
LEGATION, the Catholic Church in
America has suffered a loss of
100000 souls during the past
century by defections from her
ranks. He generously admits that
"the statisticians are still disput-
ing over the precise number of the
Catholic immigrants and their
children who have been lost to the
Church here in America during
the past century. Some estimates
place the number as high as TWEEN
ty-five or thirty millions. Others
say that ten millions, or at the
most, fifteen, is more probable
estimate.
There have been losses, un-
doubtedly, and we all deplore
them, no matter how small they
be. But nothing can be gained
by exaggerating these losses, and
much harm may be done and, nc
doubt, is done, by supplying oul
enemies with ammunition of this
kind to use in their warfare
against the Church. Let us see
what truth there is in the writer {
assertion that the Church has suf
fered loss of at least ten million
souls who ought to be numbered
among her children.
Where did 1.-The statisticians
get the figures upon which theil
estimate is based? If they started
from false premises their conclu
sion cannot be true. The only
sources of reliable information OF
this point are the official statistics
cf the United States Census anC
of the Commissioner of Immigra
tion-and these tell no such story
of Catholic losses. On the contrary
they clearly show that the presen'
Catholic population of the United
States is nearly as large as i
should be, when we take into con
sideration the number Of Catholi,
immigrants, who have found ;
home in the United States durin!
the past century, and their natura
increase. We have an admirable
summary of the figures, takel
from official sources, in a pam
