AN EFFECTIVE PROTEST.

Last week two "patriots" Sc
cured a hall in Cannon Falls,
Mimi, for a political" lecture.
They distributed handbiIls an.
nouncing the subject-the usual
anti-Catholic harangue. The
Catholics paid no attention to
them; But the non-Catholics took
notice of them in a very effective
way. There was no audience
present when the time for the
lecture arrived. A number OF
non-C Catholics, headed by the
Mayor, gave the patriots hall
an hour to deliver their lecture
and another half hour to get out
Of town. The lecture was not de.
livered; but no time was lost in
getting out Of town. We com
mend the action Of the intelligent
and right-thinking non-Catholics
of Cannon Falls to other commu.
mites threatened with such a visi.
tation.

with whatever aims we can afford
to give.
No faithful disciple Of the
Prince of Peace will forget during
Advent the urgent need there is
for the fulfilment of the promise
of the hymn of the Angelic host,
which was heard by the shep-
herds: "Glory to God in the
highest, and ON earth peace to
men of good will" We ought to
redouble our prayers for the
reign of God In human hearts, for
the deliverance of men from all
selfshness, all narrow and bitter
feeling. By penance and prayer
we shall do our part towards es-
tablishing peace in our own souls,
SO that God may be enthroned
supreme in our conscience and
passion may submit to the rule of
reason. By repentance and by
the grace of divine love we shall
be at peace with God. By charity
we shall be at peace with our
neighbor. And it will be our most
earnest prayer that all men may
learn at the Crib where lies the
Divine Infant, to forgive, to love
and to live together in Gods
world in peace and harmony.

In this connection the following
editorial from the Washington
Post is significant:
"What will the United States
government do when the murder
of Americans is resumed? Will
it continue it's policy of watchful
waiting for a solution that never
arrives? Will it merely receive
and record claims against Mexico,
without making any effort to
settle them? Will it still act as a
dog in the manger toward other
nations, refusing to permit them
to protect their own people in
Mexico, and refusing itself to pro.
tect them?
1.-THE people Of this country do
not care who becomes president of
Mexico. They have no interest in
Carranza or Villa or Zapata. But
they will not rest easily if another
season Of terror and bloodshed
brings about the pillage of Amer
leans. They will not be content
to see Gen. Funston's troops
standing idly at Vera Cruz while
Americans in other parts Of Mex,
leo are being robbed and muir
dered."

THE MENACE OF MODERN
STYLES.

In a recent address Superin-
tendent H. D. Hervey, Of Auburn,
N. Y, inveighed as follows against
schoolgirl who "expose their
bodies through present styles:
parents of children send their
daughters to school so immodestly
exposed that they prove a moral
menace to the youth Of our city.
"The styles through which we
are passing have in many in
stances been little less than scan
dalous.
IF mothers know how this
thing is viewed by clean young
fellows who want to be decent, it
would lead to a rude awakening.
"The modern home is conspicu-
ously failing to fix proper stand
ards Of fitness and modesty.
"The mother cannot retrieve
herself or save her weak-willed,
self-indulgent children simply by
placing piece of paper in a bal
lot box"
The Indictment is true. The
fault lies with the mother in nine
cases out of ten. School girls
initiate their grown-up sisters and
their silly mothers who consider
it the greatest misfortune not
to be i'll the social swim. Until
mothers realize fully that their
daughters are occasions of sin to
others by reason of their immod.
est CARDS, there will be no change
for the better. Nor are Catholic
mothers entirely blameless i'll this
regard. Their conduct is the
more reprehensible because they
ought to know better. Woe to
her through whom scandal com
eth!

A CHANGE In POLICY.

The American Government
withdrew the troops from Vera
Cruz on November %. We are
told that "the episode marks a
distinct change in policy for the
American Government" If it
does, it is because "the burned
child breads the fire. Accord
ing to Secretary Of State Bryan,
the administration will not inter-
fere any further in Mexican af-
fairs but will allow the different
factions in that country to work
out their own salvation. If this
policy of non-interference had
been adhered to from the begin
ming, the deplorable conditions
now prevailing in Mexico would
have been impossible. Now, after
the harm is done, the troops are
withdrawn and a helpless people,
deprived of the only ruler who
could insure stability Of govern
ment, are at the mercy of oppos-
ing factions led by the irrespon-
sible bandits whom this govern
ment has favored since the begin
ming Of the trouble. It is too bad
that the people of Mexico should
have to pay the penalty for the
woful lack of common sense and
prudent foresight which charac-
terizes the so-called diplomacy of
the State Department at Washing
ton. While Bryan has been boast
ing Of his peace pacts with other
nations, his Mexican plumbers
have demonstrated to the world
that he needs an elementary train
ing in diplomacy We would
suggest that he attach Huerta to
the State Department in an adj
visory capacity.
