A CONVERTS VIEW OF CATHOLIC
LITERATURE.

One of the first things that an in
tellectual convert must observe upon
coming into the world of Catholic
truth, writes Frederick D. Chester, in
the October Catholic World, is his
new, and at first unexplained, repug-
nance to the current literature. This
will manifest itself no matter what
direction of thought his mind may
naturally incline. Whether science,
politics, philosophy, social problems,
or literature absorb him; or as is
often the case, if he considers them
all together, he will discover that all
simultaneously are "out of drawing"
to his critical sense when measured
by the standards of absolute and di-
vine truth. The hand that has for
the first time grasp6d the hand of
a Pasteur, a Windthorst, or a New
man in any kind of spiritual kinship
recoils, instinctively from Huxley, a
Bismarck. or Kingsley. Intimate &C
quaintance with Joan of Arc, or Eliza
beth Of Hungary, makes one fastidious
when it comes to embracing a Mary
Eddy or a Dorothy Dix.
These novels" lack the authority
of the hours need. Their reason for
being would appear to be the author
empty purse, or desire for social and
journalistic exploitation. Life does
not cry aloud for them, as it cries ever
more and more urgently for such ro
mances as the abbot of Caldey's, -
the 'Apologia" of Newman, and the
Confessions" of Monsignor Benson.
Justice and mercy do not demand

that I would not want you to take a
common Lie into your heart"
This sounds very WE'LL" said the
child, 81 will let you in" So the child
took the Little Lie into it's heart.

you think one lie can be any different

will tell you what happened. That
Little Lie, when it had come into the
child's heart, opened the door to every
other Lie, big and little, black and
white. The child's heart was soon SO
full of lies that there was lie in
everything the child said. The lies
crept into all the child's thoughts and
words, until everyone said, eve can
not believe anything the child tells
U.S."
This was all because the child let
that first Little Lie come into it's heart.
Let us learn a lesson from this and
shut our hearts up tight when Little
Lie knocks and says, 'Let me in"
We must answer, go away, and never
come here again."

THE FIRST MISSIONARIES.

During January there is read in all
the churches the wonderful story of
the wise men who came from the far
East to worship Jesus. They had seen
His star in the sky and followed it
until it stood over the manger
where He lay. Then they entered
the lowly stable and gave Him the
gifts which they had brought from
their distant home.
Epiphany is a missionary season
because in its story we see that Jesus
came for those who were far away

through the air. It came to child's

been loudest in accusing the minority
leader of lack of patriotism contrasts
the %oyal support" the democratic
in congress rendered Presi-
dent Mckinley when he was "wrest-
ling with the financial consequences of
our little war with SPAIN" The par
allel is most unfortunate for its pur-
poses. While that was tax to carry
ON a war which had already started
and which would require expenditures
certain to cover some time, the demo-
Gratis opposed the war tax which was
finally passed and which was the basis
Of the first draft of the present pro-
posed tax. OF the 141 democrats Of
the house 139 voted against it. 1t was
called a tax on necessities, although
the same newspaper which makes the
attempted comparison has but recent
ly called it "a luxury war tax" The
democrats were not unpatriotic in
their course. Their judgment was bad
as they now confess.
When patriotism is obviously involv-
ed, we may always depend upon con-
gress. President Cleveland recognize
ed this or he would not have sent his
famous message on the Venezuelan
question, when both branches of con-
gress were in control of the republic
cans. They Loyalty supported him,
just as republicans will support any
president in the defense Of the ma
tons rights or honor. But this does
not mean that they must surrender
their right to look into the real ne
cessity for a war tax in time of peace.

An Unfortunate Parallel

The republican opposition to the
proposed war tax in time of peace
which, by the way, has some demo.
cratic support even in the usually do
cile house, is being criticised as "un-
patriotic" by certain newspapers. DR.
Samuel johnson must have been irri-
tated by some such argument when he
gave utterance to his often misunder-
stood generalization: patriotism is
the last refuge of a scoundrel." 1t is
often the last refuge Of clever poll
ticians when the measures they are
supporting will not stand scrutiny.
If the members of congress believed
that the nation actually needed reve-
nue. it is not probable that any objec-
ton would be raised to a special tax,
although it would be the duty of ev-
cry member to be active in the decis-
ion of the character of such tax. In
the present case this country is not
in war. There has been a shrinkage
in the revenue, but there are ample
treasury funds. Congress has been
VIGOROUSLY extravagant. The shrink
age in the revenue may be but tenn
porary. Yet without suggestion of
ordinary economy congress is asked
to provide for an additional tax to
yield sos, 100000. 1t is all wild
guess as to how much money will be
needed, depending on the restoration
of shipping. Some argue that the
treasury funds might be gradually
withdrawn from the banks as needed
without the country suffering any
worse than from paying the same
amount in taxes. The danger is min
imized by the large issue of emergen-
cy currency authorized by law. Fur
thermore, the country cvould readily
borrow what funds it might need
should there be no increase in reve-
nue.. Bankers were recently eager to
loan money to France. 1t is a plain
business question, which should be de-
cided on business principles.

Air Still Wins

The contest between the aviators
and eastern Colorado air still shows
in favor of the air. Keyser, the Chi
cago aviator, who tried to fly at the
Sterling fair last week went to his
death at the first trial. Bill Heth, the
champion Wright aviator, tried it out
at Pueblo and while he escaped death
was unable to make anything but a
very short fight at a low elevation.
He says he will try again later on, but
it is believed eastern Colorado has
seen the last Of him. They all say
they are coming back to prove they
can beat the game, but are too glad
to get safely away to ever make an
other attempt. 1t is now up to the
famous Lincoln Beachey, who is to
make a trial at Pueblo in the near fu-
ture. II he fails it will probably
mean that the air is winner for some
time to come.

At last the deal between Jones and
the democratic organization has been
completed and the progressives' en-
peror has succeeded in getting on the
democratic ticket. Crazy withdrew
as progressive candidate for senator
and Simpson was placed on the pro-
gressive ticket. Then Cook withdrew
as democratic candidate for represen-
tative and Jones was put on the DEM
ocratic ticket. The slogan has gone
out from progressive headquarters to
trade everything for Jones and all the
other progressive candidates are just
Dee-lighted to be thus able to assist

The judges of the Supreme Court
of the District nave made an order
under which hereafter there will be
court sittings six instead of five days
of the week. The purpose is to speed
up the processes of the court, which
is far behind its docket. and 1t will
be universally approved by people
concerned about litigation. Delay
has been characterized as one Of the
effective methods of frustrating JUS
tice; and the tedious processes of
American courts have fallen under
the condemnation of our own as well
as alien critics. The reorganized
Supreme Court bench has taken hold
with a vigor and determination that
deserve commentator and encour-
agement from both the bar and the
community generally.

tory to both the Carranza and the
Villa hackers. He is one of the group
of vigorous governors of the north
Mexican states, whose administra-
items have for a long time given
Mexico its only lesson in intelligent
and efficient management of public
affairs. He was among the very first
to revolt against Diaz; for in 1906,
four years before the Madero upris-
ing, he carried his recalcitrancy so
far that he was compelled to Zee the
country for his life. He was indeed
one of the inspirations of Francisco
Madero, and has never wavered from
his devotion to the general program
Of lettering Mexico by lettering the
conditions of the masses of its peo-
pie. He is a man of education, cap
able of understanding the fundamen-
tai nature Of the economic reforms
that must be effected.

CLEAN SPORT; YES, BUT.

There were only four games in the
worlds championship series this
year. The players share only in the
receipts from the first four games.
If, then, there had been two or three
more games the club owners would
have got the usufruct, and made for
tunes instead of very small bit.
Just a bit of manipulation and
jockeying might have strung out the
series to seven games, say, and made
fortunes for arrangements. So we
are urged to believe baseball an ideal
sport because the managers didn't
bunk US with any such commercial
hippodrome.
1t may be doubted if there are any
people who know anything at all
about it, who seriously believe that
the particular game is ever fixed"
with a view to throwing it. That
sort of thing would be too dangerous.
The conspiracy would include toe
many people and would surely be
exposed.
But The Times, along with many
other people, believes that the sys-
tenn under which a rich and success
ful team management can keep
twenty-five or thirty of the best
players on it's roster, and play most
of them on the bench, just merely
in order 10 keep some weaker rival
club from having their services, is
bad sport and had business.
The Times, some days before the
world series, suggested these fleeting
thoughts, and was roundly denounced
for innocence and ignorance by some
professional baseball sharps. Well,
we feel more confident now than
then; the same sharps who insisted
that The Times didn't know a thing
about baseball or what the public
wanted in baseball, were at the same
time giving out the dead straight,
inside dope" that Philadelphia would
coop the rag" hands down!
There seem to be very few folks
who know all about everything.

was not undue, and so declined to re-
move it. But subordinate to the
main issue in the case was another,
in which the converse of the fore
going was shown. 1t developed that
the pooled lines had installed eight
ing ships" which berthed beside in
dependent vessels Offering lower than
the standard rates of fare and which
cut prices still lower and offered
special inducements of one kid or
another until the Independent ship
was driven from the trade.
On this poirt the court promptly
took the opposite stand. Such &C
tons were, it held, undue and I'M
reasonable restraint, and an injunc-
ton was issued against their con-
tnuance.
There in a nutshell is the new idea
of trust control-non-inter
where a trusts activities are not
against the public good, prohibition
where they are against the public
good.

UP THE GERMAN SLEEVE

That Germany had several sur
prises awaiting its enemies was
widely heralded and pretty common
ly believed at the opening of the war,
One OF these took the form of the
42-cmm. siege guns. Military au-
thorities are now insisting that gen.
eral stats throughout the Continent
knew about these guns before tn:
war, and were not taken by srirpris>;
but it is pretty certain that the mass
Of military people, say nothing of
the lay public, was without informa-
ton thai the Germans possessed
such superior tool of war.
If general stats were not sur
prised at the appearance of these
weapons, they must at least have
been shocked to learn that concrete
emplacements had been built, under
various DISCUSSES, on French and
Belgian territory for them. Now
they are hunting around England to
learn if any like bits of forchanded-
Eess have been displayed there.
The range and efficiency of the
Zeppelins We're rather vaguely I'M
derstood before the war; bat there
has been some surprise that Ger
many possessed SO many of them and
SO large and highly trained an aero
plane corps.
Seemingly the great surprise that
Germany intended to spring at the
opening IF the war was the invasion
of France through Belgium. In that,
Berlin failed to get the full benefit
of surprise. 1t now develops that
Britain and Belgium had had reason
to suspect such 4 program, and that
they had pact pledging Britain to
aid in case Belgium should be vio-
lated. The agreement was not aimed
at any particular invader, in terms;
hut the Germans seem to accept it as
pointing at them and as indicating
perfdy on the part of Belgians and
British.
There is yet to be developed the
character of whatever the Germans
have Gin their sleeve" to take their
naval enemy by surprise. The per-
sistent report is that they are put
ting on some of their dreadnoughts
guns vastly heavier and of longer
range than those carried by dread
noughts Of any of the powers. Per
haps it is true; but if 50, naval au-
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1914-10-15

thorities will have to see the results
of performance before they will be
| convinced that such armament will
increase the efficiency of the German
vessels. 1t has been the opinion of
almost all the naval authorities for a
long time that the IL and 13-inch
guns represented about the maxi
mum useful caliber. The deck of a
ship is not the most satisfactory en-
placement from which to fire n gun
dozen or fifteen miles; and even a
dreadnought is not very stable tar
get at that distance.
Moreover. the experience of naval
fighting under modern conditions has
developed that vastly the greater
part of the execution has been done
by the smaller guns. At Santiago
and the Straits of Tsu-shima the six
inch guns did vastly more business
than the 12-inchers. If the Germans
have found a way to negative all ex-
perience in this regard, they may
have something mighty telling to
present when a real naval battle
comes.
Meanwhile, it is noted that Ger
man "mass formations" of troops
are getting more considerate treat
ment by the military critics than at
the beginning of the war. Mass for
nations cost the British fearfully in
the Boer war, and the lessons of
that war have profoundly affected
the tactics CT armies everywhere.
The Germans, almost alone, have
stood by their old tactics, and the
experience Of ten weeks of war has
brought realization that European
conditions justify some methods that
could not possibly be effective on
the veldts of South Africa. The de-
bate between mass and open forma-
tions is only beginning, with not all
the merit, by any means, on either
side.
