Rainey Uses Clafin Failure as Illus
tration That Business Stands
Firm.

High tide in the flood of political talk
was reached in the House yesterday
when, after several days of the btterest
republican onslaught. the leader of the
House democrats arose in his place and
calmly laid down Treasury figures to
prove his contention that the Under
wood tariff had beaten the Payne-Al-
drich and the Dingley tariff acts all
to pieces
Not only did Representative Under
wood deliver a political speech which
was stripped so clean of the ordinary
swashbuckling stuff the House hears
daily that even Serene Payne had grave
difficulties when he attempted to reply,
but the star southern orator. Representa-
tive Hefiin. painted a word picture of
Representative Humphrey. the chief ca
iamity bowler of the republicans: Repre-
sentative Rainey, with daring optimism
never dreamed of before, used the Claflin
failure to prove that business Is 100 per
cent firm and pure, and Representatives
Good and Mann and Mondel on the re-
publican side played their anvil chorus
parts as rather weak obligato to the
cries of the enraged democrats who have

IF you will contine the activities Of

that I will vote for the bill" said Sem

tinued his attack on that section of the
trade commission bill which empowers
the commission to determine unfair
competition" and to order such competi-
ton discontinued.
Senator Borah said that in the cases of
corporations which have been prosecuted
variably been made that combinations

variably been made that combinations
were brought out principally for the
purpose of doing away with brutal and
unfair competition in various lines of

that it was not sufficiently adequate. But

Debate on Report.

The occasion was a continuation of the
debate on the conference report on the
legislative bill. which went back to con-
ference with nearly everything agreed to,
after sharp criticism from republicans
because of a reduction in the custodian
force al the Washington post office
Representative Underwood's speech
was the life saver of the day to the
democrats He announced that the to-
tai receipts of the government for the
tscal year ending next Tuesday would
aggregate s733.000,eo0 leaving a sur
plus of S30,000.000 and that with only
half-year's operation of the income
tax. That did not include the Panama
canal expenditures. estimated at S35-
100000. Next year. he declared, Pan
anna expenditures would practically
pass away. and the canal receipts would
pay running expenses.
MIR. Cnderwood's speech was in sup
port of the Senate amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill to in
crease the Treasury fund for collect
ing the income tax from S1.00O,06U to
sl,5oe.00o. which the House finally
agreed to. Mr.. Underwood explained
that the increase was for collection of
the income tax from persons and cor
pordtlons trying to evade it.

ST. GREGORY THE GREAT.

Gregory was a Roman of noble
birth, and while still young was Gov
ernor of Rome. But in this splendid
position his heart was ill at ease. On
his fathers death he gave his great
wealth to the poor, turned his house
on the Coelian Hill into monastery
which now bears his name, and for
some years lived as a perfect monk
The Pope drew him from his seclusion
to make him one of the seven deacons
of Rome; and he did great service to
the Church for many years as what
we now call Nuncio to the imperial
court at Constantinople. On the
death of the Pope he was compelled
to take the government of the Church,
and for fourteen years his pontifcate
was a perfect model of ecclesiastical
rule. Nothing escaped his wakeful
eye; nothing was too great, nothing
too small for his all-embracing care
He healed schisms, revived discipline;
saved Italy by converting the wild
Arian Lombards who were laying it
Spanish and French Goths, who were
also Arians; and kindled anew in Bri-
tain the light of the Faith which the
English had put out in blood. He
set in order the Churchs prayers and
chant, guided and consoled her pastors
with innumerable letters, preached in
cessantly, most effectually by his own
example. He died A. D. 604, worn out
by austerities and tolls. The Church
reckons him as one of her four Great
Doctors Of the West and reveres him
as st. Gregory the Great.
While still a monk the Saint was
struck with some boys who were
exposed for sale in Rome, and heard
with sorrow that they were pagans.
"And of what race are they?" he
asked. ''They are Angles Worthy
indeed to be angels of God," said he;
land of what province?" "Of Deira, -
was the reply. ''Truly must we rescue
them from the Del ira" wrath of
God) "And what is the name of the
king?" "He is called Ella" ct is
WELL" said Gregory; "Alleluia must be
sung in their land to God" He at
once got leave from the Pope, and
had set out to convert the Angles
and Saxons of Britain when the muir
murs of the people led the Pope to
recall him. Still the Angles were not
forgotten, and one of the Saints first
cares as Pope was to send from his
own monastery st. Augustine and
other monks to England.

scenes and memories in the old days

THE MONTH OF MARCH.

March, to most people, stands out
as month cold and chill with pierre
ing winds and clustering days. Yet
we should feel glad when the month
of March arrives, for it brings with
it the first intimations of spring
that most beautiful season of resur-
rection.
Apart from all this, however, we
should be filled with joy when March
comes, for it is the month especially
set aside to honor st. Joseph, the fos-
ter father of Our Saviour Next to the
Mother of God he is the most power
full saint and advocate in Heaven. In
a special manner he is the patron of
youth, since by Divine appointment he
was the guardian of Our Saviour's
infancy. He watched over Our Lords
youth with a most jealous care and
love. So, too, does he specially watch
over and guard all those who ask
his powerful intercession. ST. Their
esa writes: ST do not remember hav-
ing asked from st. Joseph any favor
which 1 did not receive" And st.
Thomas tells us that st. Joseph will
obtain for us help, not only in one,
but in every necessity. Moreover, St.
Joseph is the patron of the dying. 1t
should be the chief aim of our lives
to live so that we may die death
like ST. Joseph did in the arms of
Jesus and Mary. Every Catholic
knows by heart the prayer to st. Jo-
seph for happy death. They should
say this prayer every day. 1t is a
most beautiful prayer, and carries
with it an indulgence. Indeed we
should say it every day in the year,
and if we do we shall get the grace
of a happy death since we shall have
Jesus, Mary and Joseph for our ''in-
tercessors" If these be on our side,
nothing else matters; we cannot be
lost.

Hung the mist-veil DER the bay;
On the landward hasting gale
Rang no seaman's CHEEKY hail,
And no far re-echoing gun
Told of welcome harbor won.

Sped the hours, till breezes bland
Sweeping from the blossoming land
Flung the mist-veil wide, and showed
Where the sunset beacons glowed,
San Antonio's sails agleam
In the evenings golden beam.
Closed the mist-veil, rang the cry,

Thanks be to Saint Joseph paid,
He hath won us longed-for aid.

Share the holy Faith He gave,
And the lands remotest bound
To sweet psalms of praise resound."

MARCH IRISH SAINTS.

Among the Irish saints for March
besides st. Patrick, we have st.
Kieran, one of the four pre-patrician
missionaries, whose feast occurred
March 5; st. Angus, who was King
Aengus, baptized by st. Patrick, feast
March II; st. Gerald of Mayo, feast
March 10, and st. Finian, one of "the
Twelve Apostles of Fire." feast March
16. How seldom are any of these
noble old names bestowed upon chill
dren in baptism or in confirmation!
Even the Geralds and Geraldines are
all too few, although this is one Of
the most euphonious and most roman
tically historical of all Norman-Irish
names. Kieren and Finian are scarce
names in these parts, and most people
appear to believe that Angus is Scotch
from the roots instead of an ancient
Irish one.

THE PRIVILEGES OF ST. JOSEPH.
The Husband of Mary, a Father to
Jesus by the Eternal Fathers
Delegation.

Our devotion toward a saint whose
name is associated with the sweet
names of Jesus and of Mary, writes
Father Chaignon in his "Meditations,"
demands of us a threefold homage;
veneration, because of his greatness;
imitation, because of his virtues; con-
fidence, because of his power, and of
his desire to give us ef1cacious assist
ance: Jacob begot Joseph, the hus-
band of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus"
Privileges of st. Joseph as Husband
of Mary.
This is his first title to our venera-
ton. All the beauty and glory which
shine in the holy Virgin rebound upon
him whom God Himself had given her
as a husband. Was there ever more
suitable alliance? What sort of man
must be the blessed mortal chosen
among all men by the Lord to share
the destiny of His Mother? This dis
tinction alone raised st. Joseph to a
dignity almost as glorious for him
as was the divine maternity for Mary.
Let him, then, like Mary, express his
gratitude and admiration by saying:
"He who is mighty has done great
things to me-" Joseph was the hus-
band of Mary Mary, the creature OF
an order all divine; raised above all
others by so many privileges: i'm

therefore, we may apply the words
"There was not found the like to him
in glory" (Ecclus. xiv. 20).
Blessed Joseph, thou needest not re
gret the throne of David or the crown
of Juda. To be the husband of Mary
was worth more than all the thrones

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

Charles MacMahon, sub-lieutenant of
the dragons of Clare, in the service
of His Majesty of France, and pres
emily engaged as recruiting officer on
his native heath, sighed deeply into
the fold of the collar of his riding
coat. Was it year ago or hun
dred or thousand, thought he, since
he left Dunkirk with its camp hustle
and stir, and the gay jests and laugh
ter of his gallant comrades? In faith
so it seemed. And it was but score
of short days.
Yet was he young and lone; the
whistle of the curlews as they ran
down the wind was not joyful in the
darkness overhead; and the thin soft
drip of the Irish rain did not help to
cheer him, as he sat on Father Tom s
