A HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION.

The mortality records of all big
companies show that in proportion to
| the number of men insured, more
| saloonkeepers die yearly than men in
any other work save, perhaps, railroad
brakemen and gun testers in the navy
and army.
What is the cause of this great
mortality among men who keep sa-
looms? Liquor, you will say, and you
are right in measure, but not wholly
so. No doubt many saloon men do
shorten their lives by use of alcohol,
but if they do not drink at all the
rate of insurance we charge them
would still be very high. The reason
is what we call the moral hazard.
Just what this is it is hard to say.
Summed up, it is merely that they die
easier and more often than men in
other occupations.
Detailed, it is, in a general. way,
they are open to greater temptations,
break down their resistance, and many
of them contract diseases where
other men would not. How many
saloon men have died of pneumonia
during the winter? Scores of them,
usually. And pneumonia is not the
only disease. Their money is made
easily (speaking of the saloon owner)
and among that class easily won
money, means that it is spent easily.
Easily spent means free and easy
manner of life, which cuts years re-
lentlessly from the lives of men.
"Then there is the mortality through
accident. The list of saloon men who
have been shot or killed with blow
from bottle, or in brawls and melees
is long, especially among the poorer
class saloons"
The man behind the bar does not
look upon his job as dangerous, no
matter what the insurance companies
say. However, it is interesting to
know how these big insurance COM
panies look upon one who occupies
such position.

At Bon, in the year 1899, a
celebrated surgeon, surrounded by
his numerous students, stood In
the operation-room of a large hos
pital. A countryman was brought
in. Before beginning the opera
ton the surgeon warned the man,
not for the first time, that after
it he would be unable to utter an
other word. As writing was not
an easy task for the countryman,
the surgeon advised him to ex-
press now any wish or communi-
cation he desired to address to his
friends. The man bowed his head
reverently, folded his hands, and
said: praised be Jesus Christ,
praised for evermore. +" The sur
geon as well as the students were
greatly moved. The operation
was successful, but these were the
last words the man ever uttered.

PSALM XIX.
DEUS DEoRUM.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

God has called and time and space
Has heard His voice;
IN fire and tempest shines His face,
His saints rejoice.
Gather those who praise His name,
And let the heavens declare His fame.
Let heaven and earth in judgment sit,
And let His holy ones arise,
Who greater deemed than sacrifice,
The law for their instructions writ.
Hear we the voice of Israel's God,
Did, reprove thy sacrifice,
Burnt offerings laid before Mine eyes?
And think we do look abroad,
Desiring for the calves We feed,
Thy he-goats from the guarded flocks,
Thy playful lambs or patient OK,
That for my glory they may bleed?
Know We the riches of the field,
The birds, the flowers, the lowing
kline,
The fullness of the earth is Mine.
It's treasures to My wants to yield.
If I were hungry would | seek
The bullock's flesh to be My food,
Or drink the goats empurpling blood
From We whose hands with slaughter
reek?
Offer to God the sacrifice
Of praise, and vows unto Him pay,
And call upon Him in the day
Of trouble, He shall hear thy cries.
But God unto the sinner spoke,
Why dost Thou witness to My cause,
Or take within thy mouths My laws,
When thou dost hate and scorn My
yoke?
My words behind thee thou dost cast,
With thieves and robbers thou dost
run,
And with adulterers art one,
Thy tongue to frame deceit is fast.
Sitting thou wrought'st tale of guile,
A scandal to thy brothers name,
Thy mothers son to bring to shame,
And was silent all the while.
Didst think that was like to thee?
Before thee | reproof have set,
Ye senseless ones that God forget,
Lest We for all eternity
Be snatched away to endless night,
The sacrifice of prayer and praise
These are the only means and ways
That leadeth to eternal light

"The Denver Catholic Regis.
ter" has decided to raise the sub
scription price from $3.50 to $500
year on and after October 1, in
order to create a fund for it's i'm
provement. The publishers frankly
confess that the paper "has not
been moneymaker for years
and this increase in the subscrip-
ton price is necessary "to assure
its existence. 1t is a hazardous
move to increase the subscription.
People get accustomed to the
lower price and very often are un-
willing to pay more. We hope the
subscribers to the Denver Catholic
Register will remain loyal to it
and enable the publishers to reach
the goal of their ambition which
is to make it ''the greatest Catho-
lie paper in America"

THE BOND OF PEACE.

The hollowness of modern civil
ization, as demonstrated by the
explosion that has convulsed Eu-
rope and the world, is the prevail
ing theme of preachers and of
writer's at the present time. They
are asking what did the world
lack, what was the disease that
led men to dream and to say
peace" peace, when there
was no peace. And some are fore.
casting the future, hoping that out
of evil, however colossal, lasting
good will surely come.
Some look for a decay of the
arrogant spirit Of exclusive, mar
row, aggressive nationality, and
the birth of a spirit of universal
brotherhood, whereby for all flu
ture time peace among men may
be secured,
When the war drums beat no
longer and the battlehags
are furled,

GRANTS CATHOLIC
Descendants
TWO OF HIS GRANDCHILDREN RE-
CEIvED INTO THE CHURCH.
ONE OF THEM DIED RE-
GENTLY.

1t will, no doubt, be interesting to
our readers to learn that two of the
grandchildren of General u. s. Grant,
President of the United States, after
the war, were received into the Catho-
lie Church during the past decade.
These are Algernon Sartoris and his
sister, Rosemary Sartoris, children of
General Grants daughter, Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartoris Jones of Chicago.
Algernon Sartoris was received in
to the Church by Archbishop Glennon
of st. Louis in 1904. His sister who
married George H. Woolston of New
York, in 1906, made her abjuration and
received baptism and first communion
at the hands of Father Morris, a Pas
sionist, in Hampstead, Long Island, in
1912. Her death occurred recently at
the age Of thirtyfour.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

Last week Sir Lionel Garden,
former British Minister to Mexico
and recently appointed Minister
to Brazil, made a statement in
which he criticised the United
States for withdrawing the Ameri-
can troops from Vera Cruz. He
declared that "the people who did
not get protection in Mexico City
and elsewhere went to Vera Cruz
for protection. What will they do
nowY They have no means of
getting away and will be left to
the mercies of a lawless element
that will Immediately over-run
the town and country.
"When it is said that state of
absolute anarchy exists in Mexico,
it is not stating the facts too
strongly.

THE GREAT ENEMY.

There is an enemy, ever threaten
ing, which can be defeated only by
sleepless vigilance and unremitting
endeavor, the evil of intemperance.
Notwithstanding the efforts which
have been made, crowned, thank God.
with signal success, there are still
many lives ruined and many souls
imperilled by excessive indulgence in
drink. In many parts of the country
imposing demonstrations have been
held to foster healthy public opinion
against this degrading vice. On the
25th and 18th of last June a supreme
effort was made to further this i'm
portant object by a general temper
ance congress of all Ireland, held in
Dublin. / earnestly hope that both
clergy and people will cooperate en-
Enthusiastically to make the movement
a triumphant success"
Cardinal LO0ue.

We are almost at the threshold
of the month of October, a month
dedicated to the Blessed Virgin
Mary under the title Of Queen of
the Most Holy Rosary. Every
Catholic knows the value of the
Rosary as a devotional exercise
freighted with the greatest bless
ing for those who make the recita-
ton of it part Of their daily
tribute of divine worship and of
love for the Mother of God.

in the city of Birmingham, by fifty
members of the British Medical Asso-

express any opinion which he might
choose
That alcohol does not quench but
aWakens thirst.
That alcohol is of no value when
work is to be done.
That alcohol diminishes the quality
and total output of manual work Of
all kinds.
That alcohol blunts perception and
feeling, impairs moral sense and i'm
pedes intellectual processes.
That alcohol, when taken by chill
dren, checks growth and development,
both mentally and bodily.
That alcohol weakens the power of
self-control, thus leading to immortality
and crime, poverty and misery.
That alcohol has narcotic poison
GUS action and must be classed with
chloroform and ether.
That alcohol predisposes both di-
rectly and indirectly to infectious
fevers.
That alcohol is now known to be
one of the most important factors in
rendering patients more susceptible to
the attacks of the tubercle bacillus
and so to tuberculosis.
That in pneumonia and typhoid
fever alcohol does more harm than
good.
That alcohol hastens the end in a
fatal illness, but prolongs the duration
of the illness in those cases in which
the patient RECEIVERS.
That alcohol predisposes to heat
stroke in hot weather.
That alcohol causes rapid loss of
heat in cold weather.
That alcohol is one of the great
predisposing causes of heart-failure
and cerebral hemorrhage.
That alcohol often causes neuritis

perform more work, possess greater
powers of endurance, have less sick
ness, and recover more quickly than
non-abstainers, whilst they are I'M
affected by any of those diseases spe-
cially caused by alcohol.
That the great amount of drinking
of alcoholic liquors among the work
ing classes is one of the greatest evils
of the day, destroying more than any,
thing else, the health, happiness, and
welfare of those classes.
That the universal abstinence from
alcoholic liquors as beverages would
contribute greatly to the health, pros
perity, morality and happiness of the
human race.
That the general adoption of absti-
hence from all intoxicating beverages
is the most natural, surest, simplest
and quickest method of removing the
evils which result from their use, and
is the first great step towards the solu-
ton of many of the most difficult
social problems by which we are con-
fronted. .

A new plan is being put into
operation in the public school sys-
tenn of Gary, Ind. It was inaugur-
ated on September Is, with the
opening Of school under the
auspices of the Christian Church.
The Methodists and other denom-
nations are expected to do like
wise. These church schools have
been recognized by Superintend-
ent Writ of the public schools and
the City Council to the extent of
modifying the school hours so as
to permit the pupils who wish to
attend their respective denomina-
tional schools to do so without in
terfering with their public school
duties. In these sectarian schools
the children receive religious in
struction from teachers of their
own denomination. Attendance
at these schools is not compulsory.
1t will be interesting to see how
this plan works out. 1t is another
indication that the public schools
are coming to realize the INSULT
cheney of their course of instruc-
ton and are seeking for some
means of imparting to the children
the religious training which can
not be given in them. This ar
rangement will probably make no
difference to the Catholics of Gary
as there are two large parochial
schools in the city.

Neither life, liberty nor prop
erty is safe, and whenever an
officer so desires he may turn a
family out of its home and com
mandeer everything. There is no
redress, for there are no courts, no
congress, no laws-nothing but
anarchy and military despotism,
with not even supreme chief to
oversee them.
"Huerta had some sort of a
government; Carranza has none
whatever; the only claim he has
to greatness is his physique, and
that is not so terrifying, either.
There is not even martial law
there because there is no recogni-
ton"
Sir Lionel may have been i'm
prudent in his utterance, but it
can scarcely be denied that he
ought to be, and, undoubtedly, is,
familiar with conditions in Mex
leo. The fact that his criticism
was resented by the American
Government is significant. In view
of the wholesale expulsion of
priests and religious, the con-
tinued looting of churches and the
confiscation of property, it looks
as if Sir Lionel's statement was
not very far from the truth. A
late dispatch from Washington
says that General Funston is urg-
ing the War Department not to
withdraw the troops from Vera
Cruz. Is he, too, afraid of the
consequences? Not unlikely. Re-
ports from the border cities indi-
cate that revolutionary plots are
being Matched in Mexico, that the
troops Of Carranza and Villa have
added extensively to their arma-
ment since the embargo on arms
was lifted by the American Gov
eminent. No, Mexico is not paci-
fed, nor is there anything like a
stable government there, despite
the assurances Of the advocates of
watchful waiting
The story told by the latest
group of refugee priests who ar
rived in San Francisco after being
expelled from Mexico by the Con-
stitutionalists is narrowing in it's
details of the hardship and suffer
ing inflicted upon them. General
Dieguez. the Constituencies Gov
ernor Of the State of Jalisco, who
expelled them, is former convict,
having served time in the state
prison Of San Juan de Ulna. Ac-
cording to the San Francisco
Monitor, he told them that he
did not respect any flags, needed
no consuls, and did not fear the
protest of foreign powers. He
only respected the United States
of America, he said, adding:
"They are fully aware Of my do
ings and heartily endorse them. "
Dieguez is another of the
henchmen with whom Carranza
has surrounded himself in his eff
forts to restore peace to Mexico,
and yet he and his subordinates
enjoy the friendship, if not the
active support, of the American
Government

No one can grow while his thoughts
are self-centred The sympathies of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self-consciousness
acts as a paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspira-
ton, cripples executive ability. The
mind which accomplishes things looks
out, not in; it is focused upon its OBJ
ject, not upon itself.

NAVY PICKS TEAM
FOR ARMY BATTLE
NEXT SATURDAY
Failing Will Go in at Right
Halfback, But Craig May
Get a Chance Against
Cadets.

| ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 2L-Though various
make certain changes, the probable line
| up of the Naval Academy team when 1t
opposes the Army eleven next Saturday
will be: Left end, Captain Overesch; left
tackle, Kennedy; left guard. r. II. Jones;
centre. Perry; right guard. Graf; right
tackle, schlossbach; right end. T. Harri-
son; quarterback, Miles; left halfback,
Blodgett; right halfback, Failing; full
back, II. Harrison. The average weight
Of this team is 179 Ill pounds. The aver
age weight of the backs is Just a trihe
ahead Of the line, being 1874 pounds,
while the line averages just 179 pounds.
The average of the backiield would be
greatly reduced If Craig starts, instead of
Failing, for he weighs but 145 pounds.
against 19l pounds for the big fellow.
Captain Overesch Is, of course, sure of
his place at left end, barring an Injury.
He Is a fast, powerful man; helps the
runenr much better than most ends, and
has shown some ability in catching the
forward pass at times.
Kennedy was not up to his form during
the early part of the game Saturday. and
was taken out by the coaches. but upon
his return to the game he played in much
better form. and will probably hold his
place. r. II. Jones will start the game
Saturday, but he has an excellent sub
stitute in Mills, who would have proved
a dangerous rival for the place but for
injuries taking place at midseason,.
One of the veterans of the team Is
Perry at centre. In defensive work and
passing he has never had a superior at
the Academy, and he has plenty of weight
and strength for his place.
