DISCRETION VERSUS vALoR

The Texas Freemason would
have all the organs Of the Masonic
fraternity throughout the United
States come out boldly against the
Catholic Church to which, of
course, it refers when it speaks
Of the enemy" of the free in
situations so dear to the patriotic
American heart It says:
"Some of the Masonic journals
are picking enough courage now
to copy from others something
about the hostility of the Roman
Catholic Church to Freemasonry.
Come, brace up, look the arch
enemy Of our order in the eye,
and say something on your own
account. If you don't know what
to say read some of the leading
Catholic papers, where you will
find plenty to start your think
tank. The field is large, and
would not be overdone if every
Masonic paper In the United
States enlisted in the army of self
defense and fought till there was
not an enemy left to oppose the
free institutions so dear to the
patriotic American heart. -
For their own sakes it would be
better not to take this step until
the yelping ours which now annoy
the lion show some signs of bring.
ing down their prey. For when
the square and compass drop
from the nerveless hand of the
last member of the craft, the Cath.
Ollie Church, clothed in her youth
full vigor, will still be defying the
touch of decays effacing fin.

A VAIL FROM BAPTIST
BIGOTS.

At the final session Of the Bap-
fist convention at Nashville,
Tenn, on May Is, the delegates
adopted a resolution, presented by
DR.. j. G. Porter Of Louisville, KY,
protesting against "the voice of
Roman Catholics in the govern
mental and civil life Of the United
States"
Surely these Baptists will not
deny that they are many Catholic
American citizens; and we ask
Are they not entitled to all the
rights and privileges Of citizen
ship? And is it not the duty of
good citizens to have a voice in
"the governmental and civil life .
of their country? If so, why this
protest? We presume these Bap-
fist delegates would cut the gor-
dian knot by denying that a Cath
Ollie can be a loyal American citi-
zen, despite the testimony Of I'm.
prejudiced American historians
If the delegates to this Baptist
convention had confined them.
selves to a discussion Of religious
problems affecting the Baptist
Church and let the Catholic
Church alone, they would have
shown signs of an awakening in
telligence which is evidently very
much needed in their ranks. But
they prefer to act the part Of I'm
reasonable and unreasoning bigots
by protesting against Catholics
because, forsooth, they make ust

American citizenship confers OF

noticed any undue haste on thu
part of Baptist preachers to offe1

many Catholic priests have done
nor have we seen any reference t,

these Baptist ministers to attemp
the impossible, we would sugges

business and not emphasize tn
glaring contrast between thei

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
A STRICT RULE.


Among the 125,00O employees in the
operating departments of the Penn
sylVania Railroad Cast it takes
close hunt to find man who INDUCES
in intoxicating drinks. The company
as a strict rule, which is rigidly en-
forced. During the whole of last year
only 158 men were found to have
broken the rule, according to report
recently made.
'The use of intoXicants by employees
while on duty is prohibited" reads
the order. Their habitual use or the
frequenting of places where they are
sold is sufficient cause for dismissal"
In a statement issued recently the
company gave the information that
784,675 observations were made during
1913 as to the use of intOxicants by
employees, and that in only 1873 cases
was discipline required. Thus only
one man in about 800 employed by
the system was guilty of lapse under
the non-drink rule. The discipline i'm
posed ran all the way from reprimand
to discharge. 1t lies in the hands of
each division superintendent to act in
his judgment. The previous and gen.
eral record of any man who breaks
the rule is considered in fixing the
punishment. If it is a first or second
offense very likely the superintendent
will be satisfied if the offender shall
take the pledge. The section track
gang laborer is held to as strict &C.
countability to the no-drink rule, even
as the locomotive engineer, conductor
and trainman. Also the prohibition
applies to the division superintendent
himself, and should he be caught vio-
lating the rule summons before his
superior officer would quickly flash
over the wire.
In every way the Pennsylvania rail-
road management is seeking not only
to enforce the rule, but to free the
employees from the temptation to break
it. Thus the company, a few years
ago, abolished the system of paying
by check, as it was found that to get
checks cashed the men sometimes
went to saloons. All wages are now
paid in cash from pay cars.

An Eastern contemporary re-
ports that Lieutenant Becker OF
the New York police force, who is
now being tried a second time in
New York for conspiracy to muir
der Herman Rosenthal, became a
Catholic during his confinement
in the death-house at Sing Sing
Penitentiary, where he was i'm
prisoned after being found guilty
at his first trial. When he stood
in the shadow of the gallows he
realized that the Catholic Church
was not only the best church to
live in, but the only church to die
in.

THE FEAST OF THE ASCEN-
SION.

The Feast of the Ascension
marks the close Of Our Lords
earthly career. During the forty
days that elapsed between His
Resurrection and His Ascension
He was engaged in giving the final
instructions to the Apostles whom
He destined to carry on the work
Of redemption which He had in
augurated. He gave them the
power which He Himself possessed
in virtue Of His divine mission:
He promised to be with them I'M
til the end Of time, and, as a guar
antee Of His unfailing assistance,
He would send the Holy Ghost to
recall to their minds whatsoever
He had told them, and to strength
en- and confirm them in the eXer-
else Of their holy ministry.
When the foundation of the
Church had been thus securely
laid and it's future success as
sured, He went with His Apostles
to the summit of Mount Olivet
whence He assembled into heaven.
This event which occurred on the
fortieth day after His resurrection
marks the final withdrawal Of
His visible presence from the eyes
of men. -,.
This fact is symbolized during
the principal Mass in every church
on the Feast Of the Ascension.
After the reading of the Gospel,
the Paschal candle is extinguish-
ed, signifying the final removal Of
the Light of the World" in bod
lily form from this earth and His
ascension into heaven. The Pas
chal candle which was lighted on
Holy Saturday and placed at the
Gospel side of the altar, where it
burned at the principal public Of
fees Of the church, is now remov-
ed from the sanctuary and will
not be used again until next Eas-
ter, except during the blessing of
the baptismal font on the vigil of
Pentecost, when it is once more
lighted for a short time.
The Feast of the Ascension bids
us initiate the action of the Apos-
ties and raise our eyes to heaven,
whittier the Divine Master has
gone, that we may be encouraged
to seek after "the things that are
above" and not be led astray from
the path of rectitude by the al
lurements Of this world. Even
though the cloud that hid the as.
cending form Of the Saviour from
the eyes of the Apostles has never
ceased to roll beneath His feet
we can nevertheless look beyond il
with the eyes of faith and behold
the Saviour Himself seated il
glory at the right hand of His
Father. This vision will strength
en- our determination to walk
worthy Of our vocation as faithful
followers Of the Master until we
too, shall reach the summit Of
| Olivet whence we may enter into
the joy of His blessed presence.

THE EFFIcAcIoUs REMEDY.

And now word about the remedies
for this evil. Remedies? My brethren,
every one of you would claim a share
in saving drunkards, and especially
in preventing the spread of this de-
testable vice. whatsoever really loves
his fellow-man will do something to
stamp out the vice which deprives
men of their highest natural good,
destroys their happiness during life
and damns them to eternal perdition
hereafter.
Now, the first step in opposition to
any vice is the practice of the oppo-
site virtue. If l hate drunkenness, 1
hate everything that leads to drunken
ness. If l hate drunkenness, | will
live clean, sober life and l will use
every agency that makes for tenn
perance, and thus induce the practice
Of that virtue in others. Temperance
is one of the great cardinal virtues.
Total abstinence is its heroic form
Every soldier has his flag; those who
make war on drunkenness unfurl the
banner of total abstinence. Every
disease has it's remedy; according to
the very highest authority in the
Catholic Church, our Holy Father the
Pope, 'the proper and truly efficacious
remedy" for intemperance is the prac-
tice of total abstinence. 1t was in this
way that Our Lord Jesus Christ saved
the world. He not only practiced the
virtue contrary to the vice He attack
ed, but He carried the practice of it to
an heroic degree. He combated our
avarice by His poverty; our impurity
by being born of the Immaculate Vir-
gin and by leading virginia. life; our
angry passions by His perfect meek
ness and forgiveness; our love of
drink by His thirst upon the cross.
| Therefore, when I take the pledge /
do a Christ-like work. Afterwards
Jesus knowing that all things were
accomplished, that the Scripture
might be fulfilled, said, 4 THIRST
Now there was a vessel set there full
of vinegar. And they putting sponge

nit the dying Saviour to be alone in

which wells up from the depths of his
heart compels him to unite his own

TEMPERANCE AN OBJECT.

An unusual but decidedly practical
method to discourage intemperance
has been put in force by the Philadel-
phia Quartz Company of Chester, Pa.
The concern issued a statement to it's
three hundred workers short time
ago declaring an increase Of ten per
cent in wages for every employee who
would agree not to use strong drink.
The girls in the clerical department
jumped at the offer. Every one Of
the men and boys also came forward
and signed their names to the pledge

The Home Rule Bill will be Civ
en- it's third and final reading in
the House of Commons before the
end of May, according to an an
nouncement made recently by
Premier Asquith. In that event it
will become the law Of the land in
the course of a few weeks, for it
looks as if nothing short of a par
liamentary crisis can prevent its
final passage. As soon as it passes
its third reading it is safe, no
matter what action the Lords may
take in regard to it. 1t is hardly
probably that they will show
enough appreciation of the situa-
ton to accept the inevitable and
pass the bill; but in any event
they cannot thwart the will of the
people.

Theodore Roosevelt visited the NUM-

$50 men were In line waiting to get
supper tickets when he arrived in a
big automobile. He shook hands with
many OF them, addressing some by
name. He did not explain how he
happened to know them.
Gee, it's pretty hard times when
a former President has to come here
for something to eat,' one Of the
lodgers remarked.
Colonel Roosevelt Joined in the
laugh at his expense and, smacking
his lips over tho pea soup, exclaimed:

The former President spent more
than an hour inspecting the lodging

he aimed a rapid fire Of questions at
the men, asking them their occupa-

they worked last and their chances
