$3.50 per week. Both Of these latter
recommendation have legal validity,
inasmuch as the majority by which
they were adopted was likewise a
majority of the full membership of the
respective boards.
Recommendation of Advisory Board.
1t should be noted, however, that
the Minnesota statute does not re-
quire the Minimum Wage Commission
to adopt any recommendation of an
advisory board. In most of the other
states having minimum wage laws the
commission can not put into force any
rate that has not previously been
recommended by this agency. The
commission may, indeed, reject any
particular rate proposed by an adj
visory board, but it must ask the
board to submit another rate, or it
must establish a new board for the
same purpose. 1t can not set up a rate
Independently.
In Minnesota the commission may
establish minimum wages without the
Intervention of any advisory board,
and even when it has set up such a
board, it may reject the recommends
lions of the latter, and proceed to fix
whatever rates it pleases. Hence the
Minnesota commission is free to estab-
fish a wage in the Twin Cities which
may be neither $8.65 nor $S.75, and a
wage in Duluth which need not be
$3.50. These optional and purely adj
Visory features of the Minnesota
boards seem to have distinct advan-
tages. On the one hand, they permit
the commission to fix rates that are
likely to be more uniform than of the
Commission were restricted to the
recommendation of advisory boards,
and they facilitate and simplify the
work of the commission. Thus, the
estimate of the Duluth board was
$3.50, and of tht manufacturing board
Of the Twin Cities $8.75; yet the cost
of living in Duluth is apparently
slightly higher than in st. Paul and
Minneapolis. The commission is able
to correct discrepancies of this kind
without going to the trouble of re-
ferring the matter back to the old
boards or setting UP new boards.
Too often the recommendations of
the boards are likely to be com
promises which are sometimes higher
and sometimes lower than the com
mission would approve. Moreover,
there are some situations in which the
commission would find the establish.
ment of boards peculiarly difficult;
for example, in the smaller cities scat
tered throughout the state. On the
other hand, the fact that the commits
sion has the power to set up advisory
boards enables it to get information
about conditions and opinions which
it could not obtain as fully or as easily
without their assistance, and throws
upon the boards a part Of the respon
sibility for whatever wage rates are
| finally adopted.

soBRIETY THOUGHT TO MINIMIZE
ACCIDENTS.

The Illinois Steel Company of
South Chicago, ILL.,, have began a cam
paign against the drinking man.
When the night shift came to work
Tuesday evening, October Goth, over
each of the three main entrances of

signs which read:

President E. J. Burlington is behind
the move to retire the drinker from
the shops rolls. He hopes, however,
that none will be retired, but will
choose to quit liquor rather than quit

lar trips through the plant carrying
first aid to thirsty men.

ment of the dry" rule will minimize

Evidently, he has been studying
the problem since the termination
of his brief and inglorious diplo-

We would suggest that, before he
takes the public into his conf

in order that their statements OF
what is wrong with Mexico may
not be irreconcilable. If John
knew the language of the coun-
try and had shown himself cap
able of approaching the Mexicans
at their true worth, his solution
of the difficulty might receive
more than passing attention.

exercise of self-denial is more needed
than i'm the matter of taste for food
and drink. The multitudes are over
fed, to begin with. We are paying
with the inheritance from our fathers
and gratifying our appetite6 with poi
son foods, just because they are a
little more palatable. ManyIwho ought
to see by their own life and expert
ence the awful evil of induAGing, even
moderately, in alcoholic drink, are in
supreme unwisdom committing their
own children to that very same life
and career of misery and ruin. To
what shall we ascribe it? p'o nothing
but ignorance; and there are multi
tudes ignorant who ought not to be
ignorant. | think the forces of Total
Abstinence, if they get an intelligent
grasp of this absolutely essential law,
and realize the pressing need of it in
our day, will bring blessings and hap

CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS WITH
THE FORCES.


Some time ago prominent mem
bers of the Hierarchy of England
and Ireland severely criticised the
War Office for its failure to send
to the front u sufficient number
Of Catholic Chaplains to attend to
the spiritual needs of the Catholic
soldiers. 1t seems that there
were only twelve Catholic Chap
lains accompanying the troops
who left England at the beginning
of the war as part of the Elk
peditionary Force, and only four
with the main fleet.
The protest made by the Bish-
ops has produced its effect. The
War Office has consented to ap-
point a sufficient number of Cath
ollie Chaplains for service at the
front. The number has already
been considerably increased and
further additions will be made as
required. 1t has also arranged to
appoint Chaplains for the troops
in the camps at home. There is

volunteered to act as chaplains II

THE CHURCH IN RUSSIA
ATTEMPT TO ABOLISH CATHOLIC
ITY7 IN GALICIA.

Three weeks ago, says the Cath
Ollie News" of New York, we published
a European news dispatch to the effect
that Count Andrew SzeptyclIi, Greek
Catholic Archbishop and Metropolitan
Of Lemberg, Galicia, was made a pris-
oner of war by the Russians and had
been carried off to the interior Of Rus
STA. In connection with this outrage it
may be of interest to know that in
recent issue of the Utro Rossi, a
Petrograd daily, the following item
appeared:
"The Holy Synod is in receipt of
a telegram announcing the arrival at
Lemberg of the Orthodox Archbishop
Eulogius, who is to deliver memo
rial sermon in one of the Greek Cath
olic Churches. High Mass is to be
celebrated by him there ON Septem-
Der II. The Orthodox rite has been
declared the dominating religion in
Galicia. The Holy Synod sent its
blessing to such Greek Catholics as
are prepared to embrace the Orthodox
faith"
Archbishop Eulogius, referred to in
the above Geographic message, is the
representative of the Russian State
Church which took part in the plot
to seize Galjcia.
The Nova Reforma, prominent
Cracovian paper, in commenting upon
this message says:
'"The Metropolitan, Count Szeptycki,
was made q prisoner of war and re-
moved from the city of Lemberg with
the obvious object to prevent him
from protesting against the dissolu-
ton of the union between the Greek
Catholic Church and Rome 1t is
of interest that Archbishop Eulogius
deemed it proper to celebrate Mass
in the Greek Catholic Church, al
though the city of Lemberg harbors
a newly erected and spacious Ortho-
bishop desired to make it clear to all
that the Russian Government decided
to change the Greek Catholic into
an Orthodox church. To this I'M
heard-of suppression of it's con-
science and religious sentiments
of Greek Catholics the attention
of the whole civilized world should
be drawn. The justification of the
Greek Catholic rite is based upon it's
union with the Vatican. Not only
Ruthenians, but many Poles, are mem
bers of this church. The purpose of
official Russia in destroying this union
and in declaring the Orthodox Church
as the dominant religion in Galicia
is to strengthen the political founda-
ton laid by Russian Vaccinations
before the outbreak of the war, and
thus to continue their ruinous in
f1uence even in case Russia should
be forced to eVacuate or give up
Galicia"
In conclusion it may not be out of
place to add that the recognized lead
ers of the Ruthenians in the Austrian
Parliament, DIR. Lewicki, Professor
Romanczuk and DR.. Olesnycki have
also solemnly protested against this
infamous crime committed by Russia
upon the most sacred ideals and senti-
ments of the Ruthenian people.

A number of ladies had assem-

an officer of dragons i'll full uni

THE SOCIAL GLASS.

The social drinker of alcoholic
liquors may not think he is a drunk
ard, yet when the craving and neces-
sity for a few drinks a day becomes
stronger than the will power to resist,
he is in reality just as surely
drunkard as the man who requires a
quart day to obtain the same result.
1t is difference in degree of
drunkenness only. The moderate
drinker will surely become the ex-
cessive drinker if he continues to
poison his system with alcohol.

love for Thee, to repair Thy injured
honor and to obtain the salvation Of
souls, 1 firmly resolve not to take wine,

ADVENT.

The ecclesiastical year begins
with Advent. This year Advent
begins on the 29th Of this month.
1t is a time of preparation. We
commemorate the coming upon
earth of the Son Of God in the
mystery Of the Incarnation. We
prepare to celebrate i'll a fitting
manner the birthday Of our
Saviour. Holy Church III her
liturgy bids us to make our own
the sentiments of lively faith and
fervent desire which God inspired
in the hearts Of the saints and
the prophets Of the Old Tesla
ment.
When Christmas dawns we
ought to be ready, so that our
Lord may come into our hearts
and bless us with a large measure
of His grace. And this coming of
Christ into our hearts in Holy
Communion is designed to make
us ready for His coming to judge
us after death.
The liturgical color for Advent
is violet, symbolic Of penance.
We must purify our souls by
removing the stains of sin in
order that we may worthily keep
the Christmas festival. Hence,
Advent is a season of special
prayer, self-denial and alms-giv-
ing.
On the Sundays Of Advent in
the Collects of Holy Mass, with
the Church, we implore Almighty
God "to arouse His power and
come, that by His protection we
may be freed from the danger of
sin which threatens us, and be
saved by His redeeming aid; to
stir up our hearts to prepare the
way for His only-begotten Son
that we may be enabled to serve
Him with minds purified by His
coming; to listen to our prayers,
and enlighten the darkness of our
minds by the grace of His vista
ton; to help us by His Almighty
power that by the assistance of
His grace, what by our sins is de-
layed may be fastened by His
indulgent mercy"
By self denial we may satisfy
for our sins; we may also purify
our souls, remove from them ex-
cessive attachment to the things
Of this life, and so make room for
the love of God. By self-denial
we may save and spare for the
poor what we might otherwise
spend needlessly in gratifying
ourselves. He who gives to the
poor lends to God. AT the final
Advent, when our Lord comes to
Judge us, He will make particular
inquiry as to how we fulfilled this
duty of kindness to the poor and
afflicted. He tells us that what
we do for them, we do for Him.
| a cup of water given in His name
will not go unrewarded. Charity
to the poor will move Almighty
God to be merciful- to us and to
spare us the pains our sins de-
serve. This winter is likely to be
very hard; there will be much
suffering and misery. IL we look
forward to Christmas with the eye
of faith, we hope to visit In spirit
the stable of Bethlehem and there
to adore our Infant Saviour in
company with Mary and Joseph
and the poor shepherds whose
Christmas greeting came from the
Angels of God. There we cannot
help remembering the special
friends of the Divine Infant, those
whose lot it is to resemble Him
lin His poverty and suffering

fectiye as possible and do the

Next Sunday ushers i'll the sea-
son Of Advent, a time of prayer
and penance preparatory to
Christmas. During these few
weeks the true Christian is mind
full of the significance of the com

prepares himself to reap the spir-
itual benefits which flow from the
Incarnation.
