able the absence of a single trait that
goes to make the ideal Catholic girl
or the true religious. Three CEN
turtles ago st. Vincent de Paul sent
the Sister of Charity to the battle

peculiar vocation made her as safe
as behind the converts cloister; so,
to-day we behold representatives of
the Sodality of st. Peter Claver, adj

noticing that the contact rubs from
off their character the Christian

The Presbyterian Ministers ran
out of material for a program long

subject that never grows old, the
Church of Rome" and after serious
concern and a great amount of reso-
lutions, during which the proceed

with Whereas" they delivered
themselves of the following:
THE General Assembly views with
serious concern the growth and per-
nicious activity of that powerful po-
litico-religious organization known
as the Church of Rome which is and
always has been menace or a blight
to civil and religious liberty of every
kind and wherever it has obtained a
foothold; that the Assembly also
views with serious concern the dan

Ing that Major Archibald Butt, who
was drowned in the Titanic disaster,
carried with him an edict from the
Pope commanding all the Catholics
to vote for some other candidate for
president besides Woodrow Wilson.
This statement casts some very seri-
GUS reflection upon the Presbyterian
assembly in Kansas City. What an
nnholy. cold-blooded and narrowing
experience. Imagine some Presby-
terrain minister pilfering among the
drowning bodies of the Titanic vic
Tins looking for edicts from Rome.
The statements of Presbyterian min
listers while in session in Kansas City
are certainly not synonymous with
truth and veracity.

WILSON'S IRISH AMERICANS.

WILSON'S IRISH AMERICANS.
President Wilson went out of his
way considerable distance to give
those who opposed his canal toll pol
icy lecture by attempting to re-
move the hyphen that suggests the
meaning and force of the word Irish
American. But hold-Where was
America then. If the chief eXecu-
tive will be technical it is easy to
prove that John Barry could not be
an American because independence
had not yet been won. Therefore, we
must 20 farther and say of the Faith
er of the American navy that he bore
the noble title of Irishman while
fighting upon the seas for our lnde-
pendence and was not Irish-Ameri-
can at all, and if he became an Irish
American it was not until the war
was over. AS a government the

FAIR WEATHER PATRIOTISM.

The comments that come from
Great Britain's dependencies con-
corning Home Rule betray the self
ish, questionable patriotism which is
produced by favoritism and found
wanting when unselfish motives call
upon such citizens to pass upon
questions of national import. Wit
ness what comes from sections of
Canada. The extent to which some
will go in denouncing the govern
ment for the so-called coercion" of
Ulster! Analysing the statements
of Redmond and Devlin no one can
even read into them anything that
savors of hatred, distrust, bigotry, or
unkindness as regards the intent and
purpose of Home Rule. Yet we hear
coercion" from Canada, Australia.
even Tories in India. Imagine a
province in Canada declaring its in
tention of forming and setting up a
separate government. What sort of
patriotism could this be called. What
sort of nationalism would be sus-
pected in such move. Yet there are
those in England's domains the world
over who are ready to lay the axe to
the root of law and order If it suits
a bigoted purpose. There are those
with influence and power in every
department of human activity who
are unable to rise to an important
occasion. Such events as the passage
of the Home Rule Bill bring out the
character of British Patriotism. Lit
tie right have these disgruntled Can
adian Orangemen or the Tories of
Australia or India to flourish their
trumpets and ask to lead the march
of belligerents. What folly to SYM
pathize with the childish prattle of
coercion" and manufacture sympa-
thy for an over-advertised marauding
of Carson. Such twaddle
is ill-suited to the purpose either of
patriotism at home or in the depend
encies of Great Britain.

The Church of England will no
longer be synonymous with the Epis-
copal Church in the British Isles.
Hereafter the Church of England
will mean simply the Church of
England. The Welsh disestablish-
ment bill removes from the little
country of Wales the imposition of
the Anglican Church. By degrees
England is being confined to her own
borders. Politically, in Ireland, re-
ligiously in Wales. and socially when
the smiles, winks and mods of British
influence will fail in effectiveness on

EZRA OF THE GREAT SOB"

A very good take-off on the socio-
logical crazes of the day entitled
THE Era of the Great Sob." has been
defined by Hon. S. E. Bowdie. men,
Der of congress from Cincinatti, in
which he says:
"The period between 1910 and
1925 was characterized by vapidity.
sentimentality and general gush
which vulgar persons called slush.
Societies. leagues, clubs and move
ments of every sort were formed,
each bustling about and producing
an appearance of business and each
burdening the mail with it's litera-
aims. Each proposed to save society
but the cardinal need of each was
cash. The theory of the government
had been that a free man in free
state, freely instructed, would be inn
mune to old-world evils and would
care for his own redemption not only
from ignorance, but even from the
results of original sin. These sOci-
aties, however, disdained that theory.
Go and sin no MORE though scrip
ture cure for sin, was deemed too
harsh. The journals of the day. in
large part, found it profitable to sup
port this unctious spirit. The loose
thinking of that period allowed any
claim to pass muster. provided it was
made loud enough. Though the age
boosted of it's culture, no one dis
tinguished between condition and
a cause; for man to murder me,
surely must be living. but certainly
my life is not the cause of my own
death--as Burke has we'll put it. The
papers and magazines sobbed. So
cieties sobbed. While the age was
greatly devoted to wealth getting.
and talking much on the rights of
property, yet it sobbed greatly over
the criminals who violated those
rights; and it proceeded to make inn
prisonment as pleasant as possible.
This sobbing over criminals reached
point where it was not at all un-
common for convicted persons to be
given dinners and loving cups on the
eve of their departure for the peni-
tertiary; and frequent were the
cases where large bodies of men
would petition to have indictments
against thieves dismissed if they
happened to be prominent" g.,
This is the gist Of Mr.. Bowdie's
remarks on The Era of the Great
Sob," 1t is very pertinent and to the
point. Segregation, elimination. eu-
genics. hygienics. etc., are all goino
to cure the evils of society. and
Christianity is going to have nothing
to do with it. Truly the picture is
faithful one.

FATHER O'HARA's GREAT WORK.

The Rev. Father v. O'Hara, of
Portland, Ore, is chairman of the
Industrial Welfare Commission of
Oregon. which has in charge the ad-
ministration of the law regarding the.
wages, hours and conditions of labor
of women and minors in that state.
1t was chiefly through the efforts
of Father O'Hara that the law-pop-
ularly known as the Minimum Wage
Law-was passed by the Oregon
Legislature of 1913. Father O'Hara
was appointed to the Commission by
Governor West.
The Commission has already done,
much for the working women of
Portland and the state at large. By
its ruling. 5000 girls employed in
the department stores of Portland
are relieved from work on Saturday
night at o'clock. This commission.
issued the first minimum wage or
der in this country. A paper box
manufacturer appealed against this
law to the courts. On March II,
1914. the Supreme Court of Ore
gan issued decision UNFOLDING the
constitutionality of the law regulat-
ing the wages of women. This de-
cision in the case of Settler VS..
O'Hara" is of epochmaking impor-
lance in labor legislation.
Father O'Hara for many years has
been interested in social and econom-
ic problems. He frequently mounts
soap-box on street corners to re-
flute the charges of the 1. w. WIS.
In the midst of busy life in a.
large city parish, Father O'Hara has
found time to write "Pioneer His
tory of the Catholic church in Ore
gon."

HOME RULE AMENDMENT.

The only information coming from
London at the present time is tha'
there is war and rumors OF war DE-
tween the leaders of the Natlohal
and Unionist parties on the Home
Rule question on the eve of the bill
going to the House of Lords. The
Nationalist leaders have pressed the
Government for some expression as
to the extent the government would
go in proposing amendments to the
Home Rule Bill. The latest state
ment indicates that the offer will in
clude the previous proposal for the
exclusion of Ulster from the opera
ton of the Home Rule Bill for a
term of years. This, the Chancellor
Lloyd George says, is the limit of the
Governments peace proposal to Ul-
ster and is all that Ulster may hope
for in the way of concessions. Weak,
vacillating and without definite aim
has been the policy of the govern
ment in reference to the Bill. Little
wonder that small enthusiasm and
limited rejoicing was mingled with
much suspicion, or that Indifference
characterized the announcement OF
the passage of the Home Rule Bill.
This was not to lessen its Importance
or minimize its influence but the sus-
picion was still there and If its pro.
posals Of peace have the effect OF
putting the Home Rule Bill on the
statute books. In weak and emac!

SOCIALISTS IN LABOR UNIONS.

O-.-~AS~s0
1t may be fair to assume that the
Socialists who are holding union
cards and do a lot Of loud talking in
the labor union are under the inn
preston that they are valuable
asset, but if they would look about
and observe the condition of the
members in the unions who have
Socialist orators on the floor at
every meeting. it may change their
minds If it were possible. A union.
when it is honeycombed with Social
ism. is of no value to the members.
The same way may be said of unions
that must listen to class conscience
or a materalistic conception speech
at every meeting. 1t drives the real,
constructive members away and
eventually results in the comrades
having control. Once in control it is
good-by to any reduction in working
hours; it is good-by to any improved
sanitary conditions.
The above is not the opinion of
one man, it is not the opinion of any
group of men, it is matter of rec
ord: In the trades of our city that
are well organized and receive good
wages. Socialists and Socialist ora
tors are scarce as they are in any
other constructive movement that
gives for value received. Then, on
the other hand, we find that in some
of the largest industries the bright
est lights are the followers of Debs,
Mcdonald and Wanhope. That is
also a matter of record.
1t is almost impossible for har--
mony to prevail in a local union
when some of the members are for
ever pulling in the opposite direc-
ton. They aid to cast shodows of
suspicion on anyone taking an
active part in the general affairs
unless he is one of the comrades
Socialists have the same right as a.
Republican or a Democrat to advo-..
cate their policies or to spread their
propaganda where they will, but they
have no more right to inject their
policies into the labor organizations
than either Of the above political
parties. Politics has wrecked more
labor organizations than the recog-.
nized enemies, it diverts the mind
and energy away from the channels
through which the real benefit comes

CENTRAL-VEREIN
To Be Held at Spring Bank, Wis.,,
Aug. 1928.

aug S4e6Os
Preparations have been completed
for an excellent program and the
necessary reservations have been
made for this years Social Study
Course to be held at Spring Bank,
Wis. under the auspices of the Cent
ral-Verein.
Nothing more remains to be done
but to secure goodly attendance OF
individuals. priests and laymen, who
will come on their own initiative, as
we'll as of those to whom societies
will extend the privilege of a stipend,
enabling deserving men or young
men to attend. Seminaries and
young priests, young attorneys, and,
In fact. all who are interested in So
cial problems, should be considered
eligible to such stipend. This plan
has been adopted by the German
Catholic Societies in Missouri, Wis
consin, and other States, and in this
manner worthy young men have been
enabled to obtain enlightenment on
the most vital topic of the day at
Spring Bank.
The Spring Bank Course will be
held on August 24-28, at the Western
Catholic Chautauqua of that place.
The program embraces the following
subjects and lectures:

alism.
3. Capital and Labor under
Capitalism.
(. 4. Capital and Labor in the Mod
ern Reform Movement. GA Criticism
and a Program.)
Rev. DR.. Jos. Och, of the Josephin-
um. Columbus, O., will deliver five
lectures on:
1. From Party Politics to Social
Politics.
2. Aims anad Limitations of So
cial Politics.
3. Social Education Essential to
Social Politics.
4. Means of Education for Social
Politics.
S. Duties of Catholics in Social

interesting.
The program is at once instructive,
valuable and timely. The course evil
