APOSTLES OF HATRED.

There is no mistaking the truth
of the words of the Rev. Dr.
Morgan NJ. Sheedy, who declares
that Just at this time there seems
to be a renewal, sort OF re-
crudescence of the spirit whicn
animated the ancient hypocrites
denounced by Christ. This spirit OF
renewed bigotry and bitterness is a
wave spreading over the land ana
influencing millions of ignorant
and narrow-minded people. We can
not blame many of these people, Tor
they know no better, Those who
deserve blame are the more intelli-
gent agitators Of this narrow and
dangerous spirit, some of them mas
querading as ministers of the gospel
of Christ-the gospel of love and the
gospel of truth. These are the men
who in secret hire halls, bring into
communities reprobates with less
decency and more courage tnan
themselves to defame and calumni-
ate the faith of their fellow-citizens
and to stir up hate and bitterness
against their neighbors. These men
know better, therefore they have
no excuse. The poor, ignorant and
narrow-minded individuals who &c
to hear such performances are more
sinned against than SHINING, for
they do not know that the stories
they are told are and must be lies
And the men who lead and encour-
age for their own personal gain
those societies which prey upon the
ignorance of their members and en-
courage them to believe that Cath
olics are dangerous citizens, are
equally to blame. They have brains
enough to know better, and they
are prostituting their God-given
intelligence to the basest OF all
uses-the fomenting of hate and
bitterness among their fellow-men.

doctors fee is necessary" he says,
"only ten cents to register the
contract. No marriage certificate,
no doctors, no pastor required. The
registration of the contract is neces-
sary to obtain recognition in the
courts" Here is food for thought
and an incentive to all creeds to
follow the example of the Catholic
church regarding marriage. And
divorce also.

MYSTERY.

Our local Board of Park Com
missioners state that they can not
see their way clear to build a shelter
house with conveniences for the
benefit of the amateur ball players
of the Catholic and Protestant
baseball leagues and others at
Shawnee Park. With an approx
mate appropriation of 100000 for
park purposes, and conceding that
the ball players and their followers
are in the majority, it does seem an
unexplainable mystery why the
members of the Park Board refuse
to cater to popular sentiment.

WOULD NOT AGREE.

The conference between Premier
Asquith and the opposition leader,
Andrew Bonar Law, on the home
rule question has broken down, ac-
cording to the Unionist Morning
Post, which says there may possibly
be another interview, but that any
hope of compromise must be
abandoned, Asquith having refused
to meet the demands of the Union
lists for the exclusion, even tenn
porarily, of Ulster from the opera
tion OF the home rule bill. The Post
represents the Prime Minister as
having been personally inclined to
accede to the temporary exclusion of
Ulster, but declares that he was
overborne by John Redmond, Joseph
Devlin and John Dillon.

OPTIMISTIC.

Leading newspapers note that
with the first week of the new
year the current of opinion among
business men of the country grows
decidedly more optimistic, and
monk the many expressions Oh
opinion from the men of wide range
of information. there is hardly
dissenting note as to better times in
the immediate future The re-em-
ployment of thousands of men laid
off few weeks ago is announced,
and from Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Massachusetts and other in
dustrial States come reports as to
return of idle labor to the mills and
the factories. The Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey an
nounced last week an advance in the
wages of their employees in certain
classes of labor, and this advance
affected the per diem of nearly
1000 persons. More than 10000
men in New York City employed in
the building trades enter the new
year with an advance in wages
granted them by their employers,
and these advances in pay are d.
rect refutal of stories of great
numbers of men out of employment
in New York and New Jersey. Not
for a century has the country en-
tered new year with such brilliant
prospects for large business, for
secure business. for sound and safe
business. in all its area as it does
now in the beginning of 1914.

The designation of these troops, how
ever, is only reminiscence, for there
will henceforth be no army telegraph

replaced by the telephone. The only
disadvantage of telephone service
that it leaves no written records
considered to be much more than
counterbalanced by. the fact that the
telephone service is faster and does

ons, drawn by 100 horses and equip

FINE POINT OF LAW.
A fine point in law has been raised
here as to whether a person can be
convicted of attempted murder when
blank cartridges have been fired in
the belief they had bullets. The case
is that of a young woman who bought
a pistol from a dealer who prudently
charged it with blank shells. The
girl then shot at her lover without do
ing him the slightest harm. On ar
rest she admitted her intention to
murder the man, but her lawyers have
now raised the point that a person
cannot be convicted of shooting with
intent to ki1l'' when it is impossible
TO carry out the intention The point
is now the subject of ingenious argu-
| ment on both sides.

which lies some twenty five miles
from Prague. They propagated rapid
