DR.. WILEY ADVISES TOTAL AB-
STINENCE.

What would you consider sensible
drinking?" newspaper reporter asked
DR.. Wiley, the famous pure food ex-
pert. The answer given by the doctor
exemplifies the new attitude of the
medical profession toward the drink
habit.
'The only sensible way of drinking
intoxicating liquors." said Dr. Wiley,
lis by the rule of total abstinence.
We should not forget that alcohol is
habit forming drug, and the strong
est men both in mentality and in will
power may gradually become victims
of habit deadly to their career, hui
initiating to their friends and fatal to
their usefulness. While I have not in
early years been an advocate of pro-
hibition, / am an advocate of total alb
stinence. theoretically temperance is
the logical remedy for all excuses,
whether in tobacco, drinking or drugs.
1t is not difficult to be temperate in
matters which are not habit forming,
and If temperance could always be
secured without that danger, then
should have nothing to say against
the promiscuous use of such habit
forming substances as tea, coffee, to-
bacco, fermented and distilled bever-
ages"

HOLY WEEK IN THE OLD
CATHEDRAL.

For the last time in it's history
of fifty-seven years as the Mother
Church of the Diocese, the old
Cathedral Of st. Paul has wit
messed the solemn liturgical serv-
ices of Holy Week and re-echoed
with the joyous notes of the Easter
Alleluia. Never again will it's
sacred walls enshrine the cere-
monial pomp of the "Great
Week" Of Christianity. The new
Cathedral of st. Paul will hence
forth be the setting for this sacred
commemoration of the death and
resurrection Of the Savior.
During Holy Week thousands of
devout worshippers thronged the
old Cathedral and listened with
rapt attention to the office of
Tenebrae chanted by a trained
body of Seminarians under the
direction of Father Missia, the
choir master Of St. Paul Seminary.
Never before, in the opinion Of
many qualified judges Of church
music, did the seminarians sing so
well and interpret so feelingly the
sacred meaning Of the inspired
Psalmist and Of the Prophet Jere-
MAS who bewailed the indiffer-
ence Of the chosen people to all
the claims which Gods bounty
made upon them.
The ceremonies Of Holy Thurs
day, Good Friday and Easter Sat-
urday were carried out with all
the wealth of detail and i'm
pressiveness demanded by the
Church s liturgy and in a manner
which betokened careful prepare
ton and study on the part of
those who participated in them.
On Easter Sunday the high altar
was banked with palms and
flowers and radiant with myriad
lights. The joyous and triumph
ant appeal of the great feast was
re-echoed in the music of the Mass
as sung by the Cathedral Choir,
and in the sermon preached by
Father Gillen. The service was a
fitting conclusion to a week of
deep religious significance and
was participated in by a congre-
cation which taxed the capacity
of the venerable edifce, one Of
the old landmarks of st. Paul,
which is soon to give way to the
onward march Of industry.

A MUNICIPAL CLEANUP.

Last week st. Paul's annual
housekeeping campaign was in
augurated under the direction Of
the Association Of Commerce. The
program calls for the removal Of
dirt and rubbish of all kinds
from public streets and back al
leys, from lawns and vacant lots,
and the identifying of the city by
the planting of flowers and
shrubs. The purpose Of this city
wide activity is to make st. Paul
a better place to live in and a
more attractive objective point
for tourists.
The movement is a commend
able one in which every citizen
who is interested in the welfare Of
the city should join. But it should
not be confined solely to the i'm
provement Of physical conditions.
"The beauty of the kings daugh-
ter is from Within" and no
amount Of whitewashing will
make st. Paul better city to live
in, if no attention be paid to the
improvement Of moral conditions.
st. Paul has an unenviable
reputation as a wide-open city in
which fragrant violation of the
laws intended to regulate the
liquor traffic and restrict the So
cial evil are winked at by the
authorities. One need not be very
familiar with the local situation
regarding the enforcement of
state laws and municipal ordi-
nances to have the conclusion
forced upon him that st. Paul
needs a moral cleanup much
more than it does a physical one.
1t is notorious that vice and crime
are rampant in our fair city today
despite the sporadic efforts made
from time to time to lessen their
demoralizing influence. Less than
a year ago we were told that
there was only two bad hotels in
the city, and yet in the local pa
pers of last week we were in
formed that the licenses of ten
hotels were revoked on account of
the illegal sale of liquor and its
attendant evils. This leads natur-
ally to the conclusion that there
is more vice in the city at the pres
ent time than there was twelve
months ago; and, as far as we can
learn, no great efforts are being
made to purify the moral at
mOsphere.
This is the phase of the munici-
pal housekeeping to which it
would be well for the Association

THE HOME RULE SITUATION.

The Irish Home Rule Bill
passed it's second reading in the
British House Of Commons last
week by a vote Of 356 to 276, a
majority Of 80. This was consid-
cred the most crucial stage in it's
history. Once more it must be
passed by the House Of Commons
before it becomes the law of the
land. If it passes this third read
ing it will then have received the
sanction of the representatives of
the people in three successive ses-
sions, which, according to the
provisions Of the Parliament Act,
sufices to place it on the statute
book, even though it be rejected
by the House Of Lords.
Everyone expects that it will
meet the same fate at the hands
of the Lords as on the two
previous occasions, but that mat
tiers not. They have been shorn
of their power to oppose an effec-
tive veto to the wish of the people.
Home Rule now seems inevitable.
1t is expected that the Bill will
reach the Lords early in May and
become the law of the land before
June.
The present position of the
Unionists in their opposition to
Irish self-government is clearly
set forth by the London "Daily
News" in it's comment on the car
rying of the second reading of the
Home Rule Bill:
"The most criminal attack on
the liberties of this country ever
designed by political party has
been brought to nought, and the
Unionists know it. They may still
preach sedition in the army, but
there will not be help for them
again from that quarter, and the
Home Rule Bill, under the author
ity of the Parliament Act, will
proceed to it's inevitable conclu-
sion.
"The Unionists are now finally
face to face with that implacable
fact. For one or two years they
refused to look at the realities of
the struggle, and, instead of max
ing terms with the Government,
have chosen to rely on rebellion
in Ulster, mutiny in the army, and
help from the King.
stWith the failure of all these
expedients for intimidating the
Government they are now reduced
to the alternative of accepting the
bill in its original form or with
the notifications which Premier
Asquith offered them month
ago in order to meet the objec-
lions in regard to Ulster. -

Last week a Protestant minis
ter, the Rev. William Fl. Leavell
of Austin, Texas, was appointed
United States Minister to Guate-
mala by President Wilson. He
has been minister for forty
years. No protest was made by
Catholics against this intrusion of
a minister into the diplomatic
corps. If a Catholic priest re-
ceived a similar appointment what
a howl the so-called Guardians of
Liberty and their kind would
have raised and how eloquent
every editor of a two-by-four anti
Catholic sheet would have waxed
against this union of Church and
State.

The passing of Easter Sunday
warns us of the fight of time and
bids us give serious consideration
to the law of the Church requiring
each one who has reached the age
of reason to receive Holy Com
munion during the Paschal season.
In this country Trinity Sunday,
which falls this year on June Z, is
the final date set for the per
Torrance of this duty. But it
would be inadvisable to postpone
the fulfilment of this precept I'M
til the eleventh hour. All who
have not yet made their Easter
duty should take advantage of the
first opportunity to do so. Life
is uncertain and they who post
pone this duty from week to week
run the risk Of spiritual ship
wreck.

A RARE NJ SAL
ONCE THE PROPERTY OF HENRY
WILLOW EXHIBITION IN NEW
YoRK-$2o,ooo ASKED FOR IT.

A $4,000 missal, once the property
of Henry Will, is on exhibition at the
Hotel Buckingham, New York. The
paintings which adorn the volume are
alleged to be from the brush of Fra
Benedetto, the brother of Fra Angeli-
co. The book is said to be one of the
presents given by Francis l., Of
France, to the English king. The COW
ers are three feet long and two feet
broad. Since Henry VIII. has lost his
title as founder of the Anglican
Church, his personal belongings must
have deprecated quite considerably.
This missal is offered for sale to the
highest bidder and its English own
ers are quite sure that some Ameri-
can collector will advance the $4,000
that is said to represent its value.

On April 8, Premier Asquith
who appealed to his constituency
in East Fife, Scotland, to confirm
his acceptance of the portfolio of
Secretary of War, resigned by
Colonel Seely, was returned to
Parliament unopposed. He has
represented this district in the
House of Commons since 1886, and
the day on which he was returned
was the sixth anniversary of his
acceptance of the Premiership,
and the twenty-sixth anniversary
Of the introduction of the first

TEEToTALERs SAVE AN EMPIRE.

ask you to recall an episode in the
history of the Indian mutiny. A sud-
den surprise was sprung one night
by the rebels on the British camp.
The order was instantly issued to a
certain regiment to turn out. But the
officers had on the previous night been
drinking too freely, and, following
their example, the men, or many of
them, had been imbibing too freely at
the canteen, and they were unable to
respond to the call, and the cry was
raised: Call out Havelock's Saints:
they are never drunk!" And the tee
totalers won the day and helped at
least to keep India for the British EN-.

TUBERCULOSIS SERMONS
Sharply Criticised by Correspondent;
Also Such Lectures in Schools Bad
Results Are Seen

To the Editor of the Independent-Re
porter
In your recent issues there has been
more or less said about the dangers
that menace us from tuberculosis in
lection.
While the object of this campaign is
doubtless worthy one, it is never
theless true that a large number of
well informed people are convinced
that the effect of these lectures is to
create an abnormal fear and dread in
the minds of thousands. thus con-
demning them to years of useless
mental suffering and physical dosing,
and in some instances bringing on the
very disease itself, since many of the
best physicians now recognize fear to
be the procuring cause of much sick
ness and suffering.
That bad results follow such lee
lures in the public schools was illus
trated at one school where several of
the pupils were very much affected

during a lecture on tuberculosis; one
tainted and had to be taken home and
given medical attention Also, it
should be remembered that further
than to recommend proper sanitation,
etc, very little of any real value
can be offered; there is no standard
medicine or remedy known to medical
practitioners for the cure of tubercu-
losis. and much that is now recon-
mended viii be discarded as worth
less in few years. just as has been
the case in the past with the various
medicines which were prescribed but
found to be useless.
II is notable fact thai many peo-
pie find themselves very badly affect
ed after having heard the symptoms
of disease described, and it is re
markable that as soon as a new dis
ease is discovered and described
there is very rapid spread of the
experience that it is generally better
not to talk about the symptoms of
disease to their patients and often
prefer not to let their patients know
the name of the disease with which
they are afflicted so as to prevent
them from becoming unduly excited
and fearful, as they well know that Il
cheerful and hopeful mental condition
is great aid in effecting cure
Therefore, it would seem that a
widespread discussion of the symp-
toms and effects of tuberculosis might
work against the very purpose for
which this campaign is being waged
by fixing in the minds of thousands
of children and adults dreadful and
vivid pictures of the terrors of the
disease. Sensitive children should
not be compelled to remain in school
