THEIR DAILY BREAD.

The author of book, which has
recently come from the press de-
scribes the progress made by non
Catholic toward communion in the
Catholic church. In describing his
desire to investigate the truths of the
Catholic church, he explained that
there was one fact more forceful than
all the others and he sums it up in
this remarkable sentence: "To many
Catholics their religion is something
more daily and more religious than
daily bread" We often hear Catho-
lies, themselves, when commenting
upon the faith and devotion of other
Catholics declare, II would give any
thing for such and such a person 8
faith" or, Il would had their faith"
The influence of the Catholic
church over our lives becomes to
many Catholics so natural and so con-
tinuous that they become almost I'M
conscious Of it's presence and it be-
comes matter that automatically ef-
fects the daily routine of their lives.
If we consider the sacraments alone
and the circumstances and periods
under which they are administered
from the first days of our existence
until our last moments we can I'M
derstand for ourselves how unremit-
tent is the influence of the church
over the lives of those who make any
attempt to keep the commandments.
The high place of religion in the soul
Of many devoted Catholics Is without
doubt one Of the most important and
influential facts in drawing converts
to the church.

LEAVING IRELAND.

Several hundred young Irishmen,
between the ages of Is and SO, have
arrived in New York within a period
of ten days. They represent every
county in Ireland and are coming to
America because of the probability of
the CONSUMPTION law being put into
practice. The Irish press from prac-
tically every county in Ireland tells of
the tide of emigration that is moving
toward the United States. The Eng
lish press, itself, describes the move
ment as exceptional. In some dis
tricts houses have been closed and
farms have been abandoned. At the
same time it is stated that there are
five hundred widows in Tipperary
husbands who died on the field of bat
tie wearing British uniform. Be-
tween these two deplorable situations,
that of death on the battlefield or i'm
migration to a foreign shore, the
young Irishman is asked to choose,
and, in the midst Of all this, Ireland
is asked to raise an army to show
that she is in good faith when asking
for home rule, and that she will prove
a strength rather than hindrance to
the British empire. Such political fol-
ly is just as profitable as chasing the
rainbow. England has sworn and fore.
sworn, has promised and betrayed, and
whether Ireland rises to political and
commercial prominence or sinks
crushed with the weight of the British
tyranny is of little consequence to her
parliamentary enemies who have
maintained their vested rights no mat.
ter which way the tide turns.

Rhine is very cosmopolitan indeed.
The analysis of England's army re-
cruited from her foreign provinces
would lead one to suppose that the
war was pillaging expedition in the
jungles of Africa or among the tribes
of India. The following lines, from
the Irish World, illustrate the make
up of the English army:
My name is Tommy Atkins
And I'm husky chap,
My comrade is a Cossack
And my partner is Jap.
We're going with some Gurkas
And likewise with some Sikhs,
Some black Algerian Turcos,
And other colored freaks.
And with all our bloomin' virtues
For which you know we shine,
We are carrying CIVILIZATION
To the people on the Rhine.

O. - - ;

A religious and truly Christian ap-
plication of the Golden Rule might
we'll be practiced by those who incite
and foster the anti Catholic campaign
now sweeping over the country. The
editor of the State Journal of Lincoln,
Neb., is out with modification of the
Golden Rule, which is particularly
suitable to present conditions. He
says:
"A mans religion, is, or should be,
to him, a very sacred thing. Don't
prosecute him for it; there is vastly
better way. Don't be sowing for a
crop of hatred when the greatest of
all things is love. Whatsoever you
Lutherans and Presbyterians, and all
the others would that the Catholics
should do to you, do We even so to
them"

During law suit recently tried in
Philadelphia, non-Catholic attorney,
for wife who brought suit against
her husband, intimated that the in
formation he had received regarding
the husband was obtained from the
parish priest of the parish where the
parties attended. The judge, in this
instance, a non-Catholic, severely sen.
sured the attorney and informed him
that both as private citizen and as
judge, it was his belief that no priest
ever intimated to any one what &C.
tually took place in the confessional
between the priest and penitent.
The judge stated further that every
religious body has the right to con-
sideration of those not identified with
it to the belief and sincerity of the
faith of those identified with it.
How refreshing and wholesome it
is to find an individual. not Of the
same faith as ourselves, but tolerant
and liberal enough to credit others
with devotion, faith and sincerity. 1t
is one Of the things that makes this
old world Of ours a better place in
which to live.

THE WAGE QUESTION.

Various papers throughout this Sec
ton of the country are calling atten-
ton to the new minimum wage law
adopted by Minnesota. A minimum
wage of from $500 to 5000 a week
for women and minors of ordinary
ability has been provided for by stat
ute. The scale established for St..
Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth for mer-
camille stores, and offices, and hair.
dressers and mattresses is $500 per
week; cities less than $4,000 popula-
ton, $3.50, and cities under $4,000 pop
ulation $500. The scale is based part
ly upon the service rendered by the
laborer and partly upon the condition
of the employment. One of the ques.
tions arising is whether or not it costs
more to dress for one employment
than it would for another. A test
case has been brought from Winona
seeking to have the law declared un-
constitutional. Whatever may be the
result of the trial, it is certain that
labor leaders and those interested in
all lines of industrial effort working
toward the welfare of the weekly
wage Garner will not rest contented
until something permanent is accom-
plished in the way of fixing the wage
scale. One of the most serious diff
culties in the way of equalizing the
scale at the present time arises from
the fact that there are many wage
earners upon whom the family is not
dependent and who do not have to
depend upon themselves. Any money
that they may earn is described as
pin" or pocket" money and as a
consequence they can work far cheap
err and underbid those who actually
are compelled to support themselves
and help maintain the household. This
is a question that the wage commits.
sion will have to determine with some
degree of accuracy before the wage
question can finally be solved.

THE CONFERENCE OF COVER.
N0RS, At THE WISCONSIN
STATE HOUSE, MADISON.
BY A. w. Kliefoth.

Private ownership of lands LESS
paternalism," Decreased landlord
ism," LESS tenancy" more justice
and less charity" and kindred slogans
were the prevailing expressions de-
veloped at the conference of COVER
nors through their various addresses
and discussions.
In contrast to these fundamental
principles characterizing the policies
Of the majority Of the governors,
stands out in bold comparison the reso-
tions passed by the conference of
American mayors meeting in Phila-
delphia. namely, that private owner
ship must give way to municipal pro-
prietors, that private control has been
tried and found lacking, that control
by state commissions is not desirous.
The state executives have experienced,
and have discovered the futility and
the injustice of these paternalistic
schemes, while the mayors are still in
the kindergarten class of executives
and consequently base their policies
on all the shibboleths of the present
decade.
The conference of governors is
truly remarkable one. Never before
in the history Of our country were un.
selfish ambitions, radical and unsclen.
tiflc schemes displaced by ambitions,
ideal and founded on principle. The
governors have come to realize that
the paternalistic trend of our munich
pal and state government was less
democratic. less representative. less
just. that government based on a
shorter ballot, on smaller legislative
bodies, on a simplification Of govern.
ment machinery, on fewer commits.
sions and bureaus and what not.

INJURY TO LABOR.
Tactics of Socialist Paper Attacked

eve have had difficulty in placing
some of our best men in positions be-
cause the local Socialist paper has mis-
represented labor conditions in a GER
tain vicinity" said Supt. H. ]. Beck
erie, of the Wisconsin State Free EN-
ployment Bureau, located at Milwau-
kee. 'ln recent edition of that pa
per, there appears an article asserting
that the employees of certain milk
condensery were housed like cattle in
box cars that had passed their useful
ness on railroads. We had orders for
nearly 100 men, but some that we tried
to place had read the article and re-
fused to go.
Thursday I visited the plant with
out the knowledge of the employers
and instead of finding the conditions
so horribly described in the Socialist
paper, I found three separate camps,
which were clean, sanitary and we'll
ventilated. Each camp house was cleo
trio lighted, with large roomy hunks,
regulation army blankets and good
heating facilities. A man is employed
in each camp to air the bed clothing
and keep the place in healthful con-
dition. There was no box cars used by
the company for any purpose. The
camp was one of the best that l have
ever Inspected
The Misrepresentation of the So
cialist papers and party leaders have
repeatedly been shown. The so-called
friends of labor" have demonstrated
that their pretended friendliness is a
mere sham, a selfish scheme to obtain
votes, Offices and salaries for set of
men who cannot obtain a livelihood
through legitimate means. The above
actions recalls that of the New York
Call, the leading Socialist mouthpiece,
on the signing of the Clayton Anti
Trust bill with it's labor provisions.
On the day of the signing of the bill,
October 16, the Call had no editorial
comment, but published the following:
"The Dear Old Clayton Bill Is Signed"
Washington, Oct. 15.-President Will
son today signed the Clayton antitrust
bill, thus taking the last step to COM

Evidently the Socialist paper are
friends of labor" when such actions
provide them with dividend-a divi-
dend of votes.

Coventry Patmore.

The cultivation of any trait does
not mean it's spasmodic assertion once
in while at stated periods, but it's
steady and continual exercise until it
becomes so habitual as to react upon
the slightest suggestion. Specified
times and occasions should but mark
our constant trains of thought
Thanksgiving Day should not mean
that we are thankful simply once a
year. The grateful habit is one of the
most self-rewarding. The attitude of
mind that will thankfully receive all
the pleasant, comforting things that
it meets can be developed so highly
that it will recognize and rejoice over
benefits at every turn and will be
drawn out by the slightest occasions,
making one glad at passing florists
pretty window, at dealing with cour-
teous salesman, at writing with a
smoothly gliding pen. The habit of
constant rejoicing over tiny blessings
will so induce the thankful spirit that
the disposition will not need to be
toned up into thankfulness for large
blessings. The gratitude for these
will be spontaneous and free and there
Is no other kind Of real gratitude. The
natural inference, therefore, is to ex-
ercise the faculty of kind acknowl-
edgement perpetually upon the slight
est comforts and we shall end by find
ing that we place such an increased
value upon our surrounding life that
everything we touch brings us a gift.

Mr. Berger and his party organs,
the Appeal to Reason and the Call, in
making such statements as the one
quoted, reveal the true attitude of
their party to the organized labor
movement. 1t is based upon the ego
tistical and erroneous idea that the
Socialist party is the only organiza-
tion representative of the working
classes, when, as matter of fact, a
large portion of it's membership, and
especially it's leaders, are not men Of
the working class at all. The absurd
ity of this attitude is we'll seen when
the question is asked as to what the,
Socialist party has every really &C.,
complished for the welfare of the toll
ers. Mr.. Berger himself we'll repre-
sented the comparative value of the.
Socialist philosophy and tactics of the.
working people when he was in con-
gress. Because of his position as a
Socialist he was able to accomplish.
practically nothing in a constructive

measures which would protect the,
American worker and his right to or

suing constructive policy, have been

the cause of the laborer in PRACTICAL
way. The results of their efforts have.
been published from time to time in

THE vow OF T,PPERARY.

Young ireland of '4S had its senti-
ments nobly and periodically ex'
pressed by Thomas Davis. The young
Ireland of today is not forgetting and
should not forget that the call to Brit
ish arms means another desolation
for Ireland. France may be in need,
but Ireland has had her reign OF
terror" not for few months or for
few years, but for generations and
generations. An Irishman can never
fight a battle in which he has no heart
and the Irishmen have not heart to
fight in the European conflict, there
fore, whatever be the result, neither
Irishmen individually or Ireland as a
nation has aught to gain by joining
the butcher of nations. The leaders
of the Anglo-Saxon race are urging
the race of country they have de-
spoiled to sacrifice their all. This
cannot be. This must not be. Every
Irish man and woman within the bord
ers of ireland should uplift his hand
and repeat the Vow Of Tipperary in
the words of Thomas Davis.
From Carricks streets to Shannon's
shore,
From Sliabh ma Ban to Ballindeary
From Longford Pass to Cattle Nor,
Come, hear The Vow Of Tipperary.
Too long we fought for Britain's cause
And of our blood were never chary:
She paid US back with tyrant laws,
That thinned the homes of Tipperary.
Too long with rash and single arm,
The peasant strove to guard his eyre,
Till Irish blood believed each farm,
And Ireland wept for Tipperary.
