YOU CAN NOT WIN THE BATTLE
DRUNK.

A few years ago, says James w.
Kline, President international Broth
erhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers,
the president Of an important labor
organization threw an ultimatum on
the table around which were gathered
several railroad managers, and said,
Come to my terms or fight" The
executive of the union that issued
this challenge was drunk. The rail-
road managers replied, 1--WE will
fight" The result of that struggle was
that it wrecked the part of that par
ticular organization which came under
the Jurisdiction of those railroad man
ayers, and weakened all of the other
trades, morally and physically in the
eyes OF the public. The experience
was an expensive one to labor and
the lesson learned was that you can
not win the battle drunk.
The devil never established bust
ness that Is more deceptive than the
saloon business. The barroom is re-
cruiting station for every form OF
evil. The brain, befuddled with
booze, disqualifies man for trans
acting business. Barroom demagogues
have caused the loss of life. property,
and public confidence, and many
times have brought defeat to the
cause of labor.
The labor union that meets in a
hall with barroom attached pays an
enormous price in the end, even
though they get drink free. The dis
astrous effects are evidence enough to
condemn 1t eternally. I want to say,
however, that the working men are
now turning deaf ear to the willy
batteries of the saloon influence. The
man that drinks, in order to nerve
himself up for the, struggle of life, Is
whipped already. We must have a
sober America.

THE GREAT ENEMY.

"Then there is another enemy, ever
threatening, which can be defeated
only by sleepless vigilance and unre-
hitting endeavor, the evil of intemper-
ance. Notwithstanding the efforts
which have been made, crowned,
thank God, with signal success, there
are still many lives ruined and many
souls imperilled by excessive indul-
gence in drink. In many parts of
the country imposing demonstrations
have been held to foster healthy pub
lie opinion against this degrading
vice. On the 18th and 26th of last
June a supreme effort was made
to further this important object by
a general Temperance Congress of all
Ireland, held in Dublin. | earn
estly hope that both clergy and peo-
pie will cooperate enthusiastically to
make the movement a triumphant
success"

from heaven, desired their jealous pas
tor to renew this beautiful devotion
every year. At first it was confined
to the city of Milan, and partook
somewhat of the nature of mission
or retreat. 1t was not intended, as it
is at present, to honor exclusively the
Blessed Sacrament, but rather, as an
occasion for reconciling the enmity
which existed to an alarming extent
among the people Of Italy. The great
success attending the devotion Undue
ed its pious author to institute it in
other places. 1t is related that on one
occasion he reconciled more than one
hundred enemies.
In 1892, Pope Clement VIII gave it
perpetual establishment and en-
riched it with indulgences.
Those who approach the Sacramento
Of Penance and Holy Eucharist and
pray for some time, according to the
intention of the Holy Father, in the
Church where the exposition is made,
gain a plenary indulgence; and for
each extra visit special indulgence
of ten years is granted. These are
applicable to the souls in purgatory.

IRISH APOSTLES
PIONEER MISSIONARIES IN MANY
LANDS-A FEW OF THE
BEST KNOWN.

The exodus of Irish priests to
preach the Gospel on the Continent
of Europe in the seventh, eighth and
ninth centuries was a most remark.
able movement, and if any instance
were wanted, or any evidence required
as to the capability of Irish learning,
Irish culture, and Irish zeal to spread
the Gospel were needed the long list
of Irish saints, who found their way
to the capitals Of every country in
Europe at that early age, should carry
conviction to the most unbelieving.
Only to mention a few of the most
famous of these learned missionaries,
what do we find?
st. Gall, the Apostle of Switzerland;
st. Columbanus, Apostle of Burgundy
and Lombardy; st. Killian, Apostle of
Franconia; st. Cataldus, Bishop of
Tarento in South Italy; st. Rumbold,
Apostle of Brabant; st. Fiacre, Apostle
of Paris and it's neighborhood; st.
Virgilius-the Latinized version of
Fergal-Bishop of Saltzburg, in the
far-away North Tyrol; not to mention
st. Aidan, Apostle of Northumbria;
st. Columbkill, Apostle of the Picts;
st. Albanian, Abbot of Iona, in North
and South Britain; while an army OF
holy women-St. Brigid, st. Sanithan,
st. Dympna, st. Syria, st. Monica, st.
tia, with the zeal of God in their
hearts, went out from their native
land to teach and preach the Gospel,
found converts and monasteries and
seats of learning, and give their lives
to the service of their religion and
their God.

WAR VETERANS
SCOPE OF ORGANIZATION BROAD
ENED-EDUcATIoNAL FEATURE
TO BE EMPHASIZED.

The Catholic War Veterans Memo
rial Legion is being organized to
take in sons of veterans, and will be
renamed the National Catholic War
Veterans and Sons Memorial Legion.
Colonel j. D. McHenry of New York,
president of the legion, says that the
purpose of the reorganization is two
fold: To provide more active mem
bership by taking in the younger men
and to conduct an educational cam
paign calculated to Offset the work of
the Guardians of Liberty, which he
characterized as "the new A. p. A."
Branches of the legion will be or
ganized throughout the country,
Colonel McHeRry said, and beginning
in September the legion will give a
serious of lectures and moving picture
entertainments illustrating the serv-
ices of Catholic Chaplains and Sisters
of Mercy during the Civil War.

UN-AMERICAN POLITICAL
TACTICS.

The hybrid organization which
masquerades under the title of
" American Federation of Patriot
ic Voters" and which has it's ma
tional headquarters in Mime
apolis, has issued circular in
which it recommends certain can
didates for office in the state and
in the County of Hennepin to the
consideration of the voters. The
list contains the nominees on the
Republican ticket, two Democratic
congressman, the candidate for
Governor on the Progressive
ticket, a "Non-Partisan Tickle"
for Judges, Senators and Repre-
sentatives, as well as a Non-Par-
tisan County and City Ticket
A glance at the list discloses the
fact that it is non-partisan only
in name. In districts where all
the candidates are Catholics, no
recommendation is made; wher-
ever Catholic is among the can
didates for any office, his Prot
estant opponent is recommended.
In every case where a non-Catho-
lie is known to be liberal-minded
in religious matters he is turned
down. Is this the fair play and
justice one would expect from a
professedly patriotic" organi-
zation glorying in the name
+" American? 1t is the kind Of
treatment Catholics and fair
minded Protestants must expect
from the bigots who belong to this
federation, whose patriotism is
about as substantial as the morn
ing mist. None Of them had cour-
age and manhood enough to ven
ture near Vera Cruz where Catho-
lie blood was shed on the altar of
patriotism.
We do not believe for a mo-
ment that all the candidates
named in this circular are anti
Catholic. Some, no doubt, were
not consulted in the matter and it
is unfortunate that they have the
backing Of such an nti-Catholic
This will undoubt-
edly do them injury unless they
all connection with this
brand of "patriots, and, like
true American citizens, refuse to
appeal to religious prejudice in
their campaign for office.
Let us see who the real patriots
are, the men who are not defiled
with the so-called "Guardians-of-
Liberty" pitch.

.DI sCOVERY OF BRAZIL
FIRST VISITED BY A PORTUGUESE
NAVIGATOR IN 15oo-NAMED
LAND OF THE HOLY CROSS
ORIGIN OF PRESENT NAME.

The first. white man to visit Brazil
was Pedro Alvarez, Portuguese navi-
gator, who landed near the site of
the present city of Bahia April %,
1900. Other navigators are alleged to
have touched the Brazilian coast prior
to that time, but there are no records
or other proofs to substantiate such
statements. Cabral christened the
country Terra da Santa Cruz, or Land
of the Holy Cross, and took possession
in the name of the Portuguese mon
arch. No attempt was made to found
a permanent settlement until 1549,
when Tomas de Souza was dispatched
to the country as governor. 1t was at
about this time that the name of the
Portuguese South American posses
sion was changed to Brazil, because
of the red dyewood found in the for
ests, which at that time was imported
to Europe from the East, and was
known as Brazil wood. That part of
Brazil along the coast was distributed
among the Portuguese mobiles, who
were to establish colonies, and who
received number of Indian slaves in
addition to the land. For more than
a century England, France and Hol-
land disputed the Portuguese claims
to Brazil, and founded settlements
there, but were eventually driven out.
Brazil became an independent empire
under a Portuguese prince in 1922,
and remained such until quarter of
"a century ago, when the republic was
established after bloodless revolu-
ton.

KING ALCOHOL AND THE HERO.

In the passing of "Rube' Waddell
Americas noted baseball pitcher, deep
regret will be felt by all lovers of the
great athletic game.
"Rube' was one of the greatest de-
voices of national game, in an age
noted for it's wonderful athletes. He
was happy-hearted, fun-loving man,
a great favorite with all who knew
him and man possessed of gener-
Gus heart. For years he had been
styled "erratic." He played hide-and-
seek with his friends, and the papers
regularly devoted columns to search
for the missing diamond hero, and as
regularly announced his return to duty
after spending weeks in out-of-the-way
places. a
"Rube" was victim of King Alco-
hol. He allowed himself to become
tippler, and despite his wonderful
strength of body, never acquired mind
strong enough to master drink.
He fought against the habit-when
too late. In despair he sought relief,
but the habit which began with the
slipping of the first glass had caught
him within it's grasp, and he was I'M
able to conquer the demon.
His life and untimely ending may
serve as wholesome lesson to those
men and boys who have followed his
career and who are perhaps journey
ing along the same care-free path
which leads to amending. misery.
For "Rube" was miserable! He
was too big-hearted to be otherwise.
His great heart bled over his own
misfortune, as he grieved over his
downfall His tears came too late.
When drink overcame the man the
first time, it was the hour for him
to decide as to his own future, Play
ing with fire brings destruction, and
"Rube" was one of many unfortunates
who did not know how to keep clear
of danger until rescue came too late.

FORTY HOURS DEVOTION
ORIGINATED IN ITALY IN $780,
ESTABLISHED AND INDULGENCE
ED BY CLEMENT VIII.

During the siege of Milan, Italy, in
1880, sanity old priest called upon
the people to unite with him in
prayer that heaven might free them
from the many and great Affections
attendant upon war. Moved by his
appeal, and confiding in his promises,
the people assembled in their church
and began the beautiful devotion now
known as THE Forty Hours" It was
that period of time that the sainted
minister of God chose in memory of
the forty hours our Divine Lord re-
NAMED in the Tomb.
The holy practice was followed by
most satisfactory results. The war
ceased, peace was restored and the
people, overioyed at this benediction

Addressing the national conven-
ton of the American Institute of
Homeopathy at Atlantic City, n.
j., on June 30, DIR. Richardson of
Boston University condemned the
so-called feminist movement "be-
cause it not only pushes women
forward into the vocations and ac-
tivities of men but encourages
them to initiate mems vices and
manners and cannot fail to have
a deleterious effect upon the pub
lie welfare" He advocated re-
pressive movement to protect
men from the witchery of modern
fashions in DRESS" which he as
serted, ''profane our civilization
and are an indecent assault on
common sense .
1t augurs well for the future
when public men of influence do
not hesitate to speak out openly
in condemnation of the prevailing
fashions in woman's dress which
some one has well described as
ga wisp Of cloth and a yard OF
nothing"

1t is not too early in the season
for Catholic parents to select the

dearth of such institutions in the

RELIGION IN EDUCATION.

The meeting Of the National
Educational Association in ST.
Paul this week called forth some
memorable declarations, by far
the most important of which was
made by Mr. Joseph Swain, presi-
dent of the Association. Mr.
Swain s statement is only further
proof Of the truth of the words of
Right Reverend Bishop Lawler in
the course of his sermon in the
Cathedral last Sunday: cit is
gratifying to note that thoughtful,
far-seeing, patriotic educators
everywhere are beginning to de-
clare that religion is the only sal
walton of the individual and of
the republic. "
Mr.. Swain said: eff we are to
have exalted characters we must
have teachers of faith and relig-
ion." That statement in itself is
worth a great deal, even if. it is
spoiled to a great extent bywhat
follows. Faith and religion must
be taught for their own sakes, be-
cause, as Bishop Lawler said,
"true and complete education fits
man for every department of
human achievement, but it aims
higher still; it has in view all
man s duties as well towards the
life eternal as towards the life
that is. It attends to body and
soul, earth and heaven, the eman-
cipation from the bonds Of ignor-
ance, and the attainment of the
supernatural destiny" The child
must learn to- know, love and
serve God; must learn to pay the
homage of understanding and of
will to Almighty God; hence there
must be religious teaching in the
schools. To teach good conduct,
with all it's motives and methods,
all it's aids and duties, is to teach
Gods law and the observance
thereof; and that means the teach
ing of religion, So, too, the sense
of duty, of respect for ones own
conscience and for ones own per-
sonality, charity and justice to
our brother-man, have no depth
or defniteness of meaning apart
from the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and so the Gospel must be brought
into the schoolroom. We must
suffer the children to go to the
feet of Christ, to learn His lessons
every day first and best Of all. All
this is familiar to Catholics; and
that is why they are willing to
make sacrifices to keep religion on
in their schools. 1t is truly graft
flying that everybody is coming at
last to see the unassailable sound
ness of our principles in this mat
ter. The testimony of those who
are without ought to encourage US,
if encouragement were needed, to
hold by these principles with
loyalty renewed and invigorated
The true standard faithfully up
held cannot fail to appeal to all
men of good will, who would look
to the school as the nation s hope
if they were but sure that it is Civ
ing the nation the kind of citizens
it needs. There is healthy sus-
picion that all is not well with the
youth of the country; educators
