The purpose of the organization Is
to lend helping hand to the en-
ployes of the store while they are
sick and to help defray their burial

WANT WILSON To
SPEAK IN NINTH
PRESIDENT WILL BE URGED TO
HELP MAKE VIRGINIA SoLTDLY
DEMOCRATIC.
BY L. II. MCGOWAN.

Washington, July 29--It became
known here today that strong efforts
will be made to induce President Will
son to visit Virginia and speak to the
people Of the Ninth district when he
starts out on his ante-election swing
in October That he will make sew
eral speeches elsewhere has already
been decided, and the leaders IN the
Virginia Democracy are extremely
anxious that he shall go to their State
and do what he can to make the Old
Dominion soHdly Democratic.
There are ten congressional districts
in Virginia, nine of them being on
the Democratic side. and one only-the
Ninth-belong to the Republicans--or
as it has been commonly called in re-
cent years the "Slemp" district. 1t
is there that the Virginia Democrats
are now massing their forces to pre-
vent the return to congress Of c. Bias
com Slemp. who has held the seat in
congress. for the last five or six years.
formerly held by his father,
The opposition to Slemp on the
Democratic side--R. Tate Irvine
stands an excellent chance of making
the State sodily Democratic, but there
are one or two things that Will have
to be Strengthened out before safe
money can be placed.
=
now unset over the fact that that Nir-
ginia's senators and Congressman
Glass are at logger-heads over post
office appointments. 1t has never
been clearly established whether the
president desired to follow the recon-
mendations of the senators or nomi-
nate the men receiving the endorse .
ment of Mr. Glass
Not long ago the senators threw
down their deh, declaring that they
did not care what further action the
postmaster general. who had been ig-
norlng their recommendations. took
concerning the matter. They said
they would not further stultify them
selves by making recommendations,
and having them thrown in the waste
basket Mr.. Glass stood pat on the
question, and the result is that. as
things now stand 1t Is doubtful wheth-
,er Mr. Irvine can wrest the nomna-
ton in the Ninth district from Mr.
ESlemp.
1t must be added here that at the
Ninth district convention, recently
held at Bristol. Mr.. Slemp, was forced
to accept the nomination for another
term in the house, although he had
previously declared that he wished to
retire in order to devote his time and
energies TO private business interests.
If the president goes into the dis
trict, 1t Is believed that his presence
there will have decidedly stimulat-
ing influence on the contest which the
Democrats are making to land Mr.
Irvine, He can do so>and pull things
together without injuring the feelings
of Mr.. Glass. or the Virginia senators
over patronage matters.

Last week comment was made in
the columns Of the Irish Standard
upon the changed attitude of the Uni.
versity Y. M. G. A., and its decision
to abolish discrimination against Cath.
olics. Since the abolition of the re-
ligious test will not be sanctioned
by the national organization, it is of
little importance. The following ex-
PLANTATION, given by one of the New
York secretaries, illustrates the atti-
tude of the Y. M. c. A. toward the
Hebrews. who, with the Catholics and
Unitarians are excluded.
Mr.. B. B. Farnworth, secretary of
the Twenty-third street branch, gave
to "Sun" reporter the reasons why
the Jew was refused membership:
It is almost impossible to interest
Hebrews in the activities of the Y.
M. c. A., excepting the physical and
educational departments. We cannot
get them to serve on our committees.
We have no prejudices whatever
against the Hebrews, but it is true
that some of our members are preju-
diced. The Y. M. c. A. is Protestant
and If we did not place
a limit on the membership it would
in time be a Young Mems Hebrew

SOAP, BUT NOT RELIGION.

The Colgate family have interested
themselves in building a Baptist
church and hope to make converts
from among the poor Italian Cath
olics and are taking advantage of
the immigrants poverty to make con-
verts of them. The Catholic Union
and Times, commenting on the stu.
alton, says:
Through the zeal of the Colgate fam
lily at Orange, N. j., Baptist church
has been erected, and it is hoped to
people it from among the Italian Cath
olics living in that neighborhood. In
other words, it would appear that the
Colgates are using part of their
colossal fortune for proselytizing pur-
poses. The Catholic pastor is Rev.
John j. Rongetti, who strenuously OBJ
jects to the effort of the Colegates
to rob his people of their faith. The
Sun quote Father Rongetti as saying:
Il do not question the sincerity or
the intentions of Mr.. Austin Colgate
or Mr.. Sidney M. Colgate, but do
think they can do a great deal more
good by sending 10000 cakes of soap
to my people than by spending the
money they are in making gifts to
win my parishioners from their faith.
These people are poor and they
need soap. My church is able to
guide their spiritual progress, but it
would welcome 10000 cakes of soap
from Mr.. Colgate's factories"
The Baptist mission has been es-
tablished within block of the 1tal-
ian Catholic church. There are very
few non.C Catholics in the vicinity, and
there would appear to be no better
reason for the Colgate church than a
desire to wean away Father Rongetti's
people. AS q means to this end there
have been oyster suppers, sociables
and other eating affairs, with a lavish
distribution of gifts.
The Colgates might be in better
business. 1t will do no harm for
Catholics to remember that there are
plenty of soaps, perfumes, tooth
pastes, ETC., besides those bearing the
name of Colgate.

FRENCH SCHOOLS.

The present situation in France re-
garding her school policy is anything
but satisfactory and matters seem to
be nearing a crisis.
The latest move is made by the
Catholics. They are now considering
the proposal of closing all the Catholic
schools at once. This proposal, If
carried out, would throw 10000 chill.
dren out of school as the government
is unable to provide for them.
The purpose of the proposal is to
bring France to the realization of the
importance of the Catholic system of
education and the good it is accom-
plishing.
The proposal has in no way dis
turbed the obstinate course of the gov
eminent. When the matter was pre-
scented to the Archbishop of Paris,
Cardinal Guibert replied with dis
approval saying that while we have
any liberty left let us employ it for
good.
In line with what has taken place
in the French school Is the situation
in the hospitals.
A petition signed by 10000 persons
was presented to the chamber of de-
puties asking for the return of the
nursing sisters, stating that they alone
were interested in giving proper care
to those under their charge.
The petition has not as yet been
acted upon but it shows the straits
which France has been reduced in it's
efforts to defeat the church.
The discordant notes in the French
Republic is cause for alarm among
those who are trying to destroy all
things Catholic and attempt to prosper
by process of destruction.
