Laurel, though manufacturing town,

can, and do grow practically everything
that is grown anywhere on earth, except
the tropics and the specialties OF that
section, are luxuries and not the pro-
ducts that are essential to life. For the
above reason The Leader takes deep
interest in anything pertaining to farm
life. II is an old saying that when the
farmer prospers everyone else does.
This may not be altogether true, but in
great measure it is, and fer that rea-
son we want the farmers to prosper
Our interests are mutual Now what

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
The Central Labor Union could
hardly have done more than 10 have
passed resolutions as it did regard
ng the appointment Of the State
child labor inspector Undoubtedly
the members of the commission
stretched a point when the agreed age
limit of forty-hye was set aside for
the purpose of appointing Mr.. Glib
hons. According to the press re-
ports, the commission desired the rec
ommendation of organized labor be-
fore any man was to be appointed.
Labor, through the medium of its Cen
trail Labor Union was not given this
opportunity Understand. the G. l..
L. Is decidedly not a "resolutin' 3"
body. It is composed OF delegates
gathered together from many afiiliat-
ed labor organizations and the method
os passing resolutions is the most ex-
pedient way of showing the concen-
sus of opinion of the majority of the
delegates.
It is TO be hoped that Mr.. Gibbons
will make a good official. He is look
ing up the Maryland law-and this
fact looks very good. The position is
not one of the easiest to fill. II Mr..
Gibbons goes about his duties in a
diplomatic manner, as it is said he
will then he can ascertain whether
OF not the law is to be evaded. 1t is
most certain that the Central Labor

LET US LOOK TO OUR MOTIVE.

A lame man goes on crutches; but
if he uses them upside down, says
Father. Elliott, Paulist, he helps his
lame leg but. a little and he hurts his
arm-pits a good deal. Now our pray
ers and the Sacramento are our
crutches in the journey to heaven.
Right side up they are motiYed all
towards God, and then we get on, fine
and fast. Motived to keep up with
our pious society, to hold our standing
before family and friends as o prac-
teal Catholic, to soothe the fiery pain
OF q bad conscience-well even the
Sacramento do good. But it is the
good of the crumbs under the table,
not the plentiful feast OF the Divine
Banquet: better than nothing; a
makeshift; promise of better things
these are the right terms.
Herein is the secret OF relapse:
human motives are placed by us for
our reform, or motives mixed OF
human and divine. Man builds that
house of hope, and when the storm
strikes it, it is peril of death to live
in it. But if God alone be our motive,
our house of hope is life, life immortal
and divine. Our souls love is then q
tree of Gods planting. The storm but
deepens its roots and toughens its
fiber for it is rooted and grounded
in charity" (Eph. Iii, III. Everything
depends on the beginnings. that Is. to
saw. the motives of a good life. and
the same must be said OF the be-
ginnings of perfect life. The royal
prophet tells us that the first parting
from sinful ways must be essentially
Gods work: t.And / said: Now have
begun: this is the change OF the
right hand of The Most High" FPS.

The Immaculate Conception is not
the same thing as the .Virginity. of
Mary, or the Virgin Birth of her Son.
1t does not mean or imply that Mary s
mother was virgin, that st, Anne
was overshadowed by the Most High
in the same sense as Our Lady was
overshadowed when she became the
Mother of God. Our Lady had her
own two natural human parents
Joachim and Anne, But ner soul came
from the hand of God Himself and
at the very moment of its springing
into existence and into union with
her body in the womb of her mother,
that soul was spotless, stainless,
bright with the light of Gods favour,
beautiful with the beauty OF divine
Grace. .. -.
The Decree of the first Council of
Baltimore (1S46) electing Mary in her
Immaculate Conception principal Pa
tron of the United States. was CON
firmed on the 7th of February, 1S47.
This year we keep the sixtieth an
niversary of the definition of the I'm
maculate Conception in 1854. That
definition was Opportune. The doc.
trine is suited to our times. We need
to be reminded of the glories of Mary
We are all called to come close to
God especially in Holy Communion
Let Our Lady's spotless whiteness OF
holiness warn us to make our souls
ready, ever. less unworthy. o Mary
conceived without sin, pray for lis

ST., ELlclUs.

Eligius, a goldsmith at Paris. was
commissioned by King Clotaire to
make a throne. With the gold and
precious stones given him he made
two. Struck by his rare honesty,
the King gave him an appointment
at court, and demanded an oath of
fidelity sworn Upon holy relics; but
Eliglus prayed with tears to- be ex-
cused, for fear of failing in reverence
to the relics Of the Saints. On enter
ing the court, he fortified himself
against its seductions by many auster-
tiles and continued s. eiaculatory
prayers. Az he prayed to know .if his
penanee was accepted, an odoriferous
halsam descended upon his head from
a case of relics under which he knelt,
and he heard the words, "Eligius, be

WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD?

There are two very distinct classes
OF newspapers in this country-two
extremes-and the public sets diff
ferent standard for each.
just why, no one knows-but it
does
OF the one it requires truthfulness.
decency and moderation.
OF the other it requires nothing
It just takes what is handed out and
looks for more.
The great metropolitan daily gath
ers up the news of the world and that
news is read at the breakfast table or
during the day, or after the evening
meal
The reader seldom pauses to re-
member that reporters and editors
have warped and colored much of that
news up to satisfy the public craving
for sensations. It may contain few
grains Of truth and a few bushels Of
fake.

SHAWKEY SAYS
GO AFTER VIOLATIONS

"A more drastic enforcement of the
compulsory school law, has been or
dered by the state superintendent of
schools, M. P. Shawkey. In circular
to members of the board of education
he directs that each district designate
truant officer while a second letter
ne directs TO the justices of the peace.
The enforcement of the law, in the
past, the superintendent declares. has
been entirely too lax. The rsult has
been a decreased enrolment in the
schools, an injury to the children. and
IN the end loss to the state. Every
day that child remains out of school.

WHAT OF THE HOMELESS
AT HOME?

A few weeks ago certain daily
newspaper in one of the great cities
started movement for sending
skip load of Christmas presents to the
orphans of Europe
The idea "took"-because it was
new and novel, and it afforded OPP
portunity for cheap notoriety. The
fact that, ship load of food would
have given greater and more pressing
relief did not matter. There was no
glory in sending food to the starving.
And now another great daily
more or less commendable; and it,
comes forward with a scheme for
having American homes adopt the
orphans of Europe.
That, like the Christmas ship, is
more or less commendable; and it,
toe, affords an excellent means of adj
vertising advertising the newspaper
and "some people"
1t is well to relieve distress in
Europe. 1t is well to provide homes
for the orphans. Both may bring
forth letters of thanks from kings
and queens and lesser dignitaries.
All Of which, to be sure, would make
excellent reading in print.
BUT WHAT OF HOME?
What of the hundreds of thousands
of children in OUR OWN COUNTRY
to whom Christmas will be but an
empty name-a mockery?
What of the little babes in OUR
OWN COUNTRY who are pining and
dying for want Of proper nourish-
ment?
What Of the mothers whose breasts
are empty because the table is bare?
What of the young girls in the
great cities who are dragged down to
the depths because their positions are
gone, their board bills are overdue.
and they have nowhere to turn-no
great paper to head campaign in
their behalf?
Europe has our sympathy-it
should have what assistance we may
reasonably extend.
BUT CHARITY SHOULD BEGIN
AT HOME-and the Lord knows there
IS abundant call for it in the United
States today.
But there is no glory in that-no
advertising for the newspapers-no
notoriety for the givers.
It is just plain charity-and plain
charity is not popular.

THE CREED OF OUR COUNTRY.


Rural life is coming into it's own
and country life is beginning to be APP
preciated again after several decades
of disfavor and neglect The follow
ing creed, which is being adopted as
the slogan of various boys and girls
clubs throughout the rural sections of
the United States, shows that the
thought life of the country is being
directde into its natural channels:
Il believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. | believe
that work with nature is more in
spring than work with the most in
tricate machinery. / believe that the
dignity of labor depends not only
upon what you do, but on how you do
1T; that opportunity comes to a boy
on the farm as often as to boy in
the city, and that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than in
the town."
