JEWS DENOUNCE ANTI-CATH.
OLIC BIGoTRY.

The Jewish Morning Journal,
of New York published, in re-
cent issue, the following signifi-
cant editorial:
every Jew who has the inter
ests Of the Jewish community at
heart will turn with disgust from
the anti Catholic movement which
has been revived in the City of
New York.
"There is not a single argument
which the anti-C Catholic fanatics
use against the Roman Catholic
Church that could not be used
against the Jews.
THAT so many government
offices in the City and State of
New York are filled by Catholics
is due to the fact that the Ameri-
can citizen, whether Jew, Protes-
tant or Catholic, cares very little
about the religious belief of can
didates; and it is best especially
for us Jews, that in the future the
concern of voters about the relig-
ious belief of candidates should
be as small as possible, "

The ineffectiveness of the Sun.
day school as a teacher Of relig-
ion is aptly set forth by Bishop
Williams Of the Episcopal Diocese
Of Michigan who says: We all
know that there is common neg
lect of religious training and
spiritual nurture in the modern
home, even the homes of Chris
tian and church folk. We all
know that there is and can be at
present little or no religious edu-
cation in our system of public edu-
cation. The whole burden rests
upon the Sunday school. And
what can be expected Of the Sun
day school, with it's half-hour
once a week, it's insufficient meth
DDS, it's teaching force, COM
posed of amiable, willing and
faithful workers but unframed
and inexpert (if, according to a
trustworthy authority, there is
only Is per cent of efficiency de-
veloped among public school
teachers, what, pray, is the per-
centage Of efficiency among Sun
day school teachers) 2"
The best remedy for such a
state of affairs is a well-equipped
parochial school where the chill
dren's instruction in religion goes
hand in hand with the rest of
their mental training. At best the
School is a poor substitute
for the absence of an education in
religion on the other days Of the
week. 1t is necessary where
there is no parochial school; but
an hours training in religion
once a week leaves much to be
desired in the making of intelli-
gent and devout Catholics.

apart from each other; but in such
cases she never grants to either
party an authorization to remarry.
The civil law, often for very little
cause, allows divorce and re-mar-
riage.
Now ansacademic question may
be raised as to how far Catho-
lie attorney, leaving aside the re-
ligious aspect of the question, may
argue for a literal Interpretation
or construction of the law when
it gives the right of divorce to a
married couple determined to Sc
cure it even though they have to
go to another lawyer. Without
entering upon this phase of the
question, it may be said that in no
circumstances may Catholic
attorney in conscience seek di-
vorce cases or help by argument
or other inducement to secure a
divorce. His duty is to advise the
parties to keep out of the court.
Nor may he handle divorce cases
for his clients unless to state to
them the exact provisions of the
civil law bearing on the case. If
he is constrained to take the case
to court, he must not seek by
particular research or eloquent
pleading to secure the divorce or
amplify the scope of the civil law
applicable to the case. He must
confne himself entirely to an ex-
act statement Of the law and seek
nothing more than literal con-
struction Of it.
A Catholic judge. who tries a
divorce case is in a position some
what different from that of a
Catholic lawyer who takes a case
for a client. The judges duty
is merely to state what the law
is and to apply it strictly to the
case under consideration. A
Catholic judge who does this in
a conscientious manner never
fails to set forth clearly the evils
of divorce and to deplore it's
prevalence. Only in this way can
Catholic judges and lawyers en-
force the teaching Of the Church
in regard to divorce and throw
the weight of their influence
against this ever-increasing evil.

AN APPALLING RECORD.

Investigation in the Munich hos
pitfalls have proved that zone in every
16 hospital patients died of the dis
order known as the 'beer-drinkers'
heart" France is the land of high
wines, but alcoholism is ominously on
the increase there. Forty-five per cent
of the murderers, 81 per cent of the
incendiaries, and 70 per cent of the
thieves are shown by the prison sta
tistics of France to be alcoholic sub
iects. From the effects of alcohol
alone France loses yearly 100000 in
fants under one year old, and 100000
under ten years. Is not this an ap-
palling record? Is it any wonder the
Church there is passing through a
great crisis? During the years 1861 to
1865, inclusive, there entered the asy-
lums of France 1883 insane persons.
In the same space of time, 20 years
later, there entered more than $1,000.
What was the principal cause? CDR.
Serieux made researches and found
that of relaspsed cases 70 per cent
were drinkers, while of violent luna
tics SO per cent were drinkers" Writ
ing on the quantity of alcohol con-
sumed in the region of the Lower
Seine, Louis Fourdot says that in al
most all the cases of insanity among
men "alcOhol is the Efficient cause"
And Krafftebing maintains that "all
forms of insanity. from melancholia
to imbecility, are found in alcoholism"
We applaud the sentiments of Sir
Henry Gratten Bellew, who at the
last meeting of the Irish Association
for the Prevention of Intemperance
said Gas reported in the "Freeman's
Journal" November 22): "Let no
drunkard ever call himself a patriot
or ever talk of patriotism. The drunk
ard was the greatest traitor to his
land and race. He was criminal
whose crime might keep on multiply
ing for centuries to come" This is
strange language of a Christian Irish
man, who does not mince his words
and who has the courage of his con-
victions. 1t is certainly justified, as
shown, by the dreadful circumstances
Of the case.~

CATHOLIC LAWYERS AND
DIVORCE.

The question Of divorce is press
ing for some sort of a solution.
Thinking men realize that divorce
is undoubtedly the greatest evil
that afficts the social body in
this country, for it strikes at the
very foundation of our existence
and stability as a nation. Many
attempts have been made to lessen
the evil but without success.
The number of divorces is in
creasing year by year. Our legis-
lation on this question is a dis
grace to a civilized country. Its
purpose semes to be to facilitate
the sundering of the marriage tie.
The Catholic Church is recog-
nized as the one great bulwark
against this er-menacing dan
ger. Every Catholic is, or, at
least, ought to be, valiant sol
der in enforcing the teaching of
the Church and defending her
position against the assaults made
upon it by her enemies. Among
them no class of men can do more
to make the Church S teaching
on divorce prevail, than Catholic
lawyers who are not infrequently
solicited to procure a severance of
the marriage bond. Catholic law
yers should never forget that the
Church is unalterably opposed to
divorce and that she never allows
the complete rupture of the con-
iugal tie. They should, therefore,
do everything in their power to
uphold her hands in such an i'm
portant matter. There are cases.
of course, where, for good and
sufficient reasons, the Church per-
mits a separation to the extent of
allowing married persons to live

as their marching song, and it is
song that England refused to
allow sung in Irish schools till
Germany gave her something
more important to think about.
There are two men in the Dublin
Fusiliers whose frame of mind is
not favorable to England just
now; they are the Brennans, IA
ther and son, whose wife and
mother was murdered in the
streets of Dublin by the King
Own Scottish Borderers. That
other 1rishmen, Sir John French,
COMMANDMENTS chief Of the British
army, has his work cut out for
him when the Dublins or the Con-
nachts meet the Kings Own.
They will not meet except it be,
as usual, that a detachment of
the wild Irish be stationed in the
rear to keep the Britishers from
running away. This rear-guard
will probably consist Of football
lers; they will find work for their
shoes on the march and going into
action, and it will be work they
are used to.

Bring your prayer book to
Church. 1t is surprising to note
the number of people who, APP
parently, do not know what to do
with themselves during Mass.
They seem to pay attention to
everything else except the Holy
Sacrifice. They are unable to fix
their thoughts on it even long
enough to say the few prayers
with which they are familiar. A
prayer book would help to rivet
their attention and check their
wandering thoughts. Then, too,
it would enable them to follow
the Mass intelligently. Do not be
afraid to be seen carrying your
prayer book to church and read
ing it. Most of them contain the
liturgical prayers which the wis
dom of the Church has elaborated
and which cannot be surpassed
by any that the ordinary person
may manufacture.

pei every day if possible (using
editions approved by the Church
to recommend the practice to
others as opportunity offers, and
to recite frequently the invoca-
ton: Grant, 0 Jesus, that we
may obey Thy Holy Gospel"
This does not look as if the
Church forbade her people to
read the Holy Scriptures. But,
then, none but benighted back
number in the intellectual world
believes such oft-exploded falla-
cies. If the Church did not wish
her children to read the Bible,
she could very easily have ar
ranged it so that there would be
no Bible to read. Her love for the
sacred text preserved it through
the centuries and she wishes her
children to study the Bible in
order that they may be the better
prepared to meet their adversar-
les ON their own ground and
mould their lives according to the
teaching and example of the Sa-
viour Himself.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
LIQUOR BILL IN ENGLAND.

The English drink bill for the past
year reaches the awful total of $685..
100000, or $3.50 for every person i'm
the British Isles. This is less per
capita than the United States spends
in terms of dollars and cents, but it
is more in terms of the days wage
by far, for the average wage of the
English common laborer, and the diff
ference in the pay of skilled artisans
is yet greater in proportion. The
average liquor-drinking working fam
lily in Britain spends one-sixth the in
come for drink. When the income
runs only from $500 to $500 per
week it is easy to see how liquor
beggars the work people of England
Scotland is asking for local option, a
principle not yet adopted in Britain
Lloyd George promises to make as
drastic an attack on the drink evil,
as part of his war on poverty, as
he is making along other lines. 1t is
astounding to an American, with our
progressive temperance legislation
through combined church action, to
find the great Anglican Church still
going no further than pledge signing
and individual abstinence, with no con-
certed attack upon the saloon, and
even more astounding to find that the
bishops in the House of Lords have
usually voted against progressive liz
uor legislation. The per capita con-
sumption shows an increase of 81
cents in the past four years, but Ma
caulay reckoned the per capita con-
sumption Of $50 years ago at the al
most unbelievable total of 80 gallons
per capita. He said there was then
one saloon to every Al people; today
there is one for every $50 people.

Spain is one of the nations least
affected by the gangrene OF irreligion;
she still preserves religious unity, the

The bar association of Illinois,
says the Catholic Columbian, has
recommended the enactment of a
law providing that the marriage
in any other state Of persons for
hidden to marry in Illinois, shall
not be recognized in the latter
state. Since the law was passed
forbidding divorced parties to
marry again within a year of the
decree of divorce, hundreds Of
men and women have journeyed
to Indiana, Wisconsin and other
states, gone through wedding
ceremony, and come back to Hi
nois as if they were respectable
and law-abiding citizens. If the
bar association has it's way, such
persons will come to grief.

Many Catholics who claim to be
devoted to the Church show their
disloyalty to the Catholic school
by sending their children to pub
lie schools or to non-C Catholic in
situations. Some of them know so
little about the matter as to think
that Catholic schools are inferior
to other schools Of the same class {;
and others are not ready to make
the financial sacrifice required
All of them are unworthy of the

blamed.
