BE RECRUITS GET BY HERE
Out of $50 who came to the United
States Army recruiting Office at Sol
w. Madison street last week, only 102
got by, passed.
A Day Book reporter asked Serg't
iO'Donnell why the stern rejection
was handed to so many who want to
be soldiers and cross Mexico from
border to border.
Most of them could not read or
write English or else they had bad
teeth" said the sergeant. IT'S one
of the two that causes most of our
reflections.
about one-third of those who APP
piled since the excitement started are
men who have not been in the United I
States long enough to learn how to
read or write our language. Such
men, if placed on outpost duty, would
not understand dispatches sent to
them. Also they would be unable to
send dispatches back to the rear.
Congressman SABBATH, notice,
has come out in the papers saying he
was proud the Chicago boy who was
the first man killed at Vera Cruz was
an Amerieanized foreigner not able
to speak English. / happen to know
that Capt Ray of the marine enlist
ment Office here in Chicago, looked
up his records on Samuel Meizen-
berg, the boy mentioned by SABBATH,
and is positive Meisenberg passed a
good examination. l guess the con-
gresham was making play to his
district. We don't pass anybody that
can't talk and write United States.
Teeth are an important part of the
equipment of a soldier. In a long,

c u REV IN ENGLAND
RELIC OF ANCIENT DAYS BUT
NOT so DEAD AS SOME
THINK.

BY the way, the curfew is not quite
so dead as some folks imagine, al
though it was abolished by Henry /.
as police regulation, says the Lon
don Universe. The Klodas in Abo, to
this day traverse the lawns crying
the "go-to-bed" time. Those who are
abroad are conjured to make haste
home, while those at home are or
dered to put out their fires.
In some of the principal towns in
America go-to-bed bell for young
children is rung, and after certain
interval has elapsed any child found
in the streets is taken to the police
station and it's parents prosecuted, a
salutary idea which we would like
to see in evidence over here.
A relic of the ancient days when
law students and practitioners learned
in the law lived in one community Is
to be found today in London. Any
one walking by Lincoln's Inn in the
evening at nine o'clock will hear the
curfew rung, as it has ever done for
the last seven or eigh. centuries.

CoNsIsTENcY's GAIN.

DR.. Kraeplin, a Heidelberg profess
sor, is ready to furnish proof that
the best method for fighting the drink
evil is ''the personal example of total
abstinence" Some may find this war
fare against alcohol bit burdensome
in fact, much more troublesome
than preaching total abstinence-but
what is lost in hilarity is more than
compensated for by what is gained in
consistency. For twelve years the pro-
lessor has been preaching total absti-
hence by example, and he has never
regretted the style of warfare which
he has taken up. Il have to thank
total abstinence" he says, for it's
beneficial results in respect to my own
health" The professor thinks that
his usefulness would have already
been much impaired had he permitted
himself to indulge in alcoholic bever-

LIQUOR ADVERTISING NOT AD-
MlTTED.

In an interesting article in the law
Herbert G. Shattuck says that "of the
seven hundred newspapers and maya
zines in Kansas, less than a dozen
carry whiskey advertisements. Rec
ognition is growing of the fact that
to advise people to use intoxicants, by
means of pictures and other sugges-
lions in an advertisement, is precisely
the same class of business as selling
the liquor to them.
The Kansas laws regarding liquor
are the strictest of any State laws.
They have been in force since 1880.
Of late years the law has been more
sternly enforced than ever, because
the results have been evident. Case
and Comment sizes up these results in
these words:
Of the los counties in the State, 81
have no insane, 81 no feeble-minded,
SO no inebriates, IS no prisoners serv-
ing sentences, 38 county poor farms
have no inmates, SO county jails are
empty. Kansas is the richest State in
Union per capita; the death rate has
dropped from II to 7h per thousand.
Illiteracy has dropped to less than 2
per cent.
1t is perhaps no wonder that the car
rying of whiskey advertisements by
the press should meet with disfavor
in Kansas and should have fallen in
to disuse. 1t is a variety of advertis-
ing that will before many decades be
2lassed with the almost forgotten lot
terry advertising which we used to see
so much of, but which has now practi-
cally disappeared. Reputable news
papers will not be able to bring them
selves to take it.

THE PASSIONTIDE.

Next Sunday-Passion Sunday
-ushers in the commemoration of
that most solemn period in the
history of our Saviour's public
life, during which he drank to
the dregs the chalice of humilia-
ton and suffering.
During this time the Church
wraps herself in mantle of deeper
sorrow than at any other period
of the year, in order to impress
upon her children the necessity of
truer and more heartfelt sor-
row for sin and more tender and
sympathetic love for the suffering
Saviour.
On the eve of Passion Sunday
purple wells are placed on the
crucifixes, statues, and sacred pic
lures which adorn our churches.
The Stations of the Cross alone
are exposed, to indicate the reason
why the great heart of the church
is throbbing with intensest sor-
row and why her liturgical serv-
ices are more solemn than usual.
These purple wells will not be re-
moved from the crucifxes until
Good Friday, when, for time, a
black veil is substituted for them
in order to manifest the deeper
sorrow which the Church expert

Every afternoon there will be Yes
pers in the Cathedral subsequent to
which visit will be paid to some
place in London having objects OF
liturgical interest, such as the Brit
ish Museum, South Kensington, and
Westminster Abbey.
In the evening every day, there will
be two conferences in the Cathedral
Hall at o'clock, when papers will
be read in English.
During the Congress there will be
a demonstration of Plain Chant, and
a concert in Polyphonic, or contra
puntal, music.

Archbishop will pontificate at a Sol

THE NEW CATHEDRAL.

Seldom, if ever, was the urgent
need of more ample accommoda-
tions for the people Of the Cathe-
dral parish more clearly shown
than during the recent mission
given by the Paulist Fathers from
Chicago. For two weeks standing
room was at premium, especially
at the evening exercises. From
early dawn until the last Mass of
the day was celebrated the old Ca
thedral was crowded with devout
worshippers and each evening it
was taxed to it's fullest capacity.
During the mems mission there
was no noticeable falling off in
attendance as compared with that
of the week assigned to the
women.
Last Sunday the same Paulist
Fathers-Rev. O. A. Welch and
Rev. j. Burke-began a two
weeks mission in st. Joseph s
Church. This week is for the
women and hundreds are being
turned away each evening. Every
available bit of space has been I'M
comfortably crowded by a con-
gregation Of Catholic and non
Catholic women eager to hear
the mission sermons. No doubt
the congestion next week will be
as great as it is this week, and
the need of a larger church as
keenly felt.
The new Cathedral, when COM
pleted, will provide the neces-
sary accommodation for such
occasions, as we'll as for the con-
gregations attending the Sunday
Masses. AS soon as the new Cathe-
dral is opened the people who now
attend st. Joseph's Church and
the present Cathedral will worship
in the new edifice.
Those in charge Of the new
Cathedral are aware Of the great
demand there is for ampler accom-
modations for divine worship, and
are doing everything in their pow
er to hurry the work Of construc-
ton in order that there may be as
little delay as possible in dedicat-
ing the sacred edifice to the serv-
ice of God. The date Of the formal
opening cannot be definitely fixed
at present, but it will be before
the end of the year at the latest.

ences as she contemplates the clos
ing scene in the life of her Divine
Founder. On Holy Saturday the
statues and holy pictures will be
once more exposed to the gaze of
the faithful, for by that time the
rising sun of Easter morning will
have begun to gid the eastern
hill tops with the glory of the
Resurrection.
The advent of Passiontide,
therefore, bids us spend the final
weeks of Lent in a stricter man
ner than all the others and with a
deeper realization of its sacred
significance in the history of the
Church and of each individual
soul.

minor offence rather than run the
risk of a trial by jury which would
probably result in their convic-
ton and punishment for an offence
of which many of their non-Cath-
Ollie brethren were equally guilty.
This is a sad commentary upon
the administration of justice in a
locality where anti-Catholic preju-
dice is rampant among a certain
class of people, but where the bet
ter class of non-Catholics feel that
a grave injustice has been done to
a number of their Catholic fellow
citizens.

.L|TURG|CAL CONGRESS
ONE OF INTERNATIONAL CHARAC-
TER WILL BE HELD IN LONDON
IN JULY.

An interesting International Litur
gical Congress will be held for the
first time in England, in Westminster
during the month of July. 1t will be
on much the same lines as the Inter.
national Eucharistic Congress, but
naturally much smaller in scope. A
committee to make arrangements for
the gathering, formed with the sane
ton and encouragement of the Car
dinal Archbishop, with Rt. Rev. Abbot
Cabrol, o. s. B., as it's president, met
recently.
A program for the Congress was
outlined. The Congress will be held
from Monday, July 20, to Saturday,
July Is. Opening on the Monday with
a reception by Cardinal Bourne, it's
conferences will take place morning
and evening on the following days, in
the Cathedral Hall, the proceedings
each day beginning with Capitular
Mass in the Cathedral With the ex-
ception of Saturday, there will be
two conferences every morning, at
which papers will be read in French.
ALI the papers read will be by dis
tinguished liturgical scholars, such as
Dom Cabro1, DR.. Fortescue, the Abbot
Of Maredsous, etc., and among the
subjects dealt with will be The Bible
in the Liturgy" "The Importance Of
Sunday in the Liturgy" "The Mozar-
able Rite," 'The Importance of the
Sacrament of ORDERS" and of Pom
tif1cal Mass" "The Liturgy in the Cat
acombs," The Coronation of King,
Especially in England" 'Liturgical
Books in England" and "The Progress
of the Liturgy in England"

81 CAN TAKE A DRINK OR LEAVE
1T ALONE"

A young non-Catholic friend of mine
told me that he had been talking with
a companion not long ago who, he
thought, was in danger from drink,
and he took occasion to warn him of
the danger he was in.
'Oh, I'm in no danger; | can take
drink or leave it alone"
well, see here, am no fanatic on
the subject, but the next time you
feel like taking drink just leave it
alone and see how easy it will not be-
A short time afterward they met
again and his friend told him that he
had cut out drink for the balance of
his life.
81 am very glad to hear that, but
why did you cut it out?"
do you remember what you said
to me?"
ct said a good many things; to
which do you refer?"
you told me that the next time I
felt like taking a drink should leave
it alone and see how easy it would
not be. Well, I went into the hotel
the other evening meaning to get
drink, when your words came into my
mind, and I determined to act on
them. And, do you know, found it
was almost impossible for me to leave
leave it alone the rest of my life.
If it is so hard now, what would it
be later?'
A young lady's sutton who could
take drink or leave it alone always
took it and was Incorporate. She was
warned of the folly of marrying such
creature, and admonished not to
have anything to do with him. But
though an admirable young lady in
all things else, she took him for bet
ter or for worse. She found him a
great deal worse than she took him
for, so much worse that she had to
leave him.
Another girls sutton could take
drink or leave it alone. She told him
he would have to pledge himself to
leave it alone for life, else she would
not marry him. While he could leave
it alone he would not do so for her,
SO she left him alone, to seek some
girl with less sense than herself.
Before the next girl would marry
her sutton she told him that, though
he. did not drink, he would have to
take the total abstinence pledge for
life. "That is pretty stiff PROPOSE
tion." But it was her ultimatum. She
would take no chances. He believed
she would make good wife, the
price of whom is from the uttermost
coasts prov. 31:10); and he took her
at her own valuation, and found her
a pearl beyond compare. Which was
the wise and which the foolish
maiden?

Already more than four weeks
of the paschal season have elapsed,
and it is now time to think of the
Easter duty. The obligation to
receive Holy Communion during
the Easter time is one which the
Church imposes upon the faithful
under penalty of grievous sin. It
should be attended to as early
as possible. To omit it entirely
places one outside the pale of the
Church.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-03-28

Why is it that so many Cath
olics, otherwise practical and
faithful members of the Church,
who would blush to be caught by
their friends at the Communion
rail frequently, or coming out of
church after hearing Mass or
making a visit to the Blessed Sac
rament, are not ashamed to be
seen entering or leaving a saloon
or a second-rate place of amuse-
ment? Human respect is a tyran-
nical and inconsistent master and
those who obey its behests often
make themselves ridiculous.

A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

The grand jury which convened
at Anoka last week returned in
dictments against a number Of
citizens of that town who took
part in a public demonstration
against an anti-Catholic speaker
who, accompanied by two of his
friends from Minneapolis, was
billed to deliver lecture which
every one knew would consist of
slanderous misrepresentation Of
the Catholic Church, her doctrines
and practices. 1t was not the first
time that this individual had Wis
tied that section of the State and
the people knew full we'll what
might be expected Of him. The
minded and intelligent peo-
pie of Anoka, both Catholic and
nom Catholic, wished to thwart
any attempt to stir up sectarian
bigotry, and they decided that the
best way to do this would be to
prevent the delivery Of the lee
ture. Accordingly, a number of
the citizens, two-thirds Of whom
were non-Catholics, surrounded
the party and escorted the two
friends of the lecturer to the de-
pot. The lecturer himself escaped
for the time being, but after he
delivered his harangue he, too,
was taken to the train.
The matter was called to the at
tention of the grand jury by the
deported lecturer and his friends,
and fourteen men were indicted
for riot, unlawful assembly and
second degree assault. This week,
when arraigned before Judge Gid
dings, they pleaded not guilty to
riot and assault and guilty to I'M
lawful assembly and were fined
amounts varying from five to sew
enty-fve dollars each.
We refer to the matter only to
point out that, although the ma
jority of those who took part in
the demonstration against this
anti-Catholic lecturer were non
Catholics, the fourteen persons in
dicted were Catholics. No indict-
ments were brought against any
others, although there were many
who were as guilty, if not more
guilty, than those indicted. The
grand jury was composed of nine
teen nom Catholics and two Cath
olics, and in every case it stood
seventeen to four in favor of in
dictment. In one particular case
where four boys, three of whom
were non-Catholics, accompanied
the party to the depot, only the
Catholic boy was indicted.
From these facts the conclusion
is justified that the indictments
were based upon religious preju-
dice, rather than upon any evil
dence that would warrant con-
viction under the law. Under
these circumstances the accused
deemed it best to plead guilty to

We venture to say, declares the

We venture to say, declares the
Brooklyn Tablet, that more non
Catholics get their first impression
of the Catholic Church at a Re-
QUEEN Mass than at any other
time or occasion. Therefore the
wisdom of the pastor who makes
the funeral Mass as attractive and
solemn as possible. The spoken
words on death at the end Of Mass,
whilst not universally practiced,
are generally the source of pro-
found consolation to the bereaved
and the sympathizers.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
TARA's PUBLIC HOUSE GONE.

1t is pleasant to learn" says the
Father Mathew Record of Dublin,
that the public house which for many
years was the one blot upon the beauty
OF Tara of the kings has disappeared
never, we hope, to return And on
the opposite side of the road, just
facing the spot where the drink-shop
stood, there is now cosy restaurant
in which travel-weary tourists or holt
day-makers may regale themselves
with tea, cake and mineral waters, or
other wholesome and healthy things.
1t is sign of the times and of the on
ward march of temperance"

nounced as traitors to the flag

whether the opposition to Home

During Passion week many
make it a daily practice to read
a portion of the history Of our
Lords suffering and death as mar
rated in the Gospels. It is a salu-
tary practice, indeed, and one that
cannot fail to be prolific of great
grace, especially for those who
mediate upon the spiritual sig
nificance of this saddest period
in the Saviour's earthly career.
