governor vetoed the pohbtoy law which had passed the

On March ID, Governor Hayes
of Arkansas, signed the Posey bill
providing for the public inspec-
ton of converts and other educa-
tional and charitable institutions
which was passed by the Legisla-
tme by large majority despite
the fact that competent men pro-
nounced it unreasonable, often
sive, bigoted and unconstitu-
tional. This gives Arkansas an
unenviable notoriety among the
States of the Union. 1t shows the
lengths to which rampant bigotry
viii go. Under the spell of a
blatant appeal to sectarian preju-
dice men lose what little common
sense they are supposed to possess
and allow themselves to be driven
like cattle by leaders who are OBJ
sessed with an unreasonable and
an unreasoning bigotry.

THE ANNUNCIATToN.

The Feast of the Annunciation,
celebrated on March %, calls to
mind the greatness Of Our Blessed
Lady and the high honor con-
ferred upon her by Almighty God
in selecting her to be the Mother
of His only Son. No ordinary
messenger was chosen to unfold
to her the divine plan. The Arch
angel Gabriel came from high
heaven to announce to this lowly
Jewish maiden that she was to
be the Mother of the promised
Messias, the Saviour of the world.
He saluted her with the significant
words, "Hail, full of grace; the
Lord is with thee, words which
Mother Church has forever en-
shrined in the "Hail Mary" by
which we acknowledge the divine
maternity of the Blessed Virgin
and invoke her powerful interces.
sion at all times and especially
at the hour of our DEATH
Mary is assuredly blessed
among women. For nearly two
thousand years her devout clients
have sung her praises and, at the
Angelus hour, recalled the sacred
mystery of the Incarnation
through which the Second Person
of the adorable Trinity was given
to the world In human guise. The
repetition of this angelic saluta-
ton recalls the humble response
made by the Jewish maiden, Be
hold the handmade of the Lord bt
it done unto me according to Thy
word" through which the mys.
terry was accomplished. Mary had
given her consent to the accept

upon her by God Himself and hel

THE NINE FRIDAYS.

Next Friday is Good Friday. 1t
is also the first Friday of the
month of April. This is the second
time in three years that Good Fri
day has fallen on the first Friday
of April. This has caused no
small amount of worry to the de-
vout souls who are making the
Nine Fridays" in honor of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. They can
not receive Holy Communion on
Good Friday and unless they are
permitted to substitute Holy Com
munion on some other day the
series is broken and they will
have to begin over again.
The twelfth promise made by
our Lord to Blessed Margaret
Mary grants special graces to all
"who receive Communion on the
First Friday of every month, fol-
nine consecutive months. !" The
words of the promise are plain
and, if strictly interpreted, re.
.quire that all who have not com.
plete6 the Nine Fridays, begin the
series again whenever Good Fri

day falls ON the first Friday of the
month. The question arises
whether or not the reception of
Holy Communion ON some other
day would not preserve the series
intact and suffice for all practical
purposes to gain the promised
favors? On this point the Church
has made no definite pronounce
ment; but it is the generally re-
ceived opinion that the series can
be prolonged one month in order
to make up for the Holy Com
munion missed on Good Friday.
In other words, one can receive
Holy Communion this year on the
first Friday of May instead Of the
first Friday Of April and still full
fl all the conditions required for
the making Of the ''Nine Fri
days Those who are not salts
fled to do this must begin the
series over again.

PROHIBITION IN ARIZONA.

The prohibition amendment
which went into effect in Arizona
on January /, reads as follows:
+" Ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine
or Intoxicating liquor or liquors
of whatever kind shall not be
manufactured in or introduced
into the State of Arizona under
any pretense. !"
Strictly speaking, this amend
ment prohibits the use Of wine for
sacramento purposes; but there is
some doubt that this was the in
tention Of it's advocates. In let
ter to the Rev. George Zurcher Of
North Evans, N. Y, in whose BIZ
monthly leafiet entitled "Catho-
lies and Prohibition" it is pub
lished, Sidney Osborne, Secretary
of State of Arizona, writes:
"The Prohibition amendment is,
indeed, a strict one, but whether
or not it prohibits the use Of wine
for sacramento purposes, I do not
know, and about the only way we
can find out is to have the matter
tested in the courts. One of the
most prominent Prohibition work
ers in the State, Mr.. 0. Gibson, Of
Tombstone, is lawyer of ability,
and he has offered to donate his
services to defend any person, who
may be arrested for the use of
wine for sacramento purposes,
stating that is his firm belief that
the statute does not apply in such
cases.
In a letter to Father Zurcher
the Mr.. Gibson referred to in the
foregoing substantiates the state
ment made by Mr.. Osborne. lie
says:
Yes, I offered to defend gratis
any priest who might be arrested
| for violation of our law. The liquor
agents have imposed upon the
priests by dragging the Church
into the affair in order to create
prejudice against our law.
hThe amendment is now before
THE State Supreme Court. There
is also a bill pending in our legis-
lature making ample provision for
the importation and use of fer
mented wine for sacramental pur-
nosns -

DRINK AS A DOMESTIC BURDEN.

These two or three drinks a day
mean the months rent for the man
at a moderate wage, or the summers
vacation for the family of the man
with twice that much, or better food
and larger opportunity for the family
of the man with still more. The bur-
den of denial does not always fall on
the wife in a way she can measure.
It is like an indirect tax, a little here
and little there, scarcely measured
at the time, yet making life a sue
cession of worried days and sleepless
nights. 1t is not world where man
may live unto himself, or where the
result falls onl on the waster. What
ever lessons a mans efficiency hardi-
caps his wife and children.
1t may not be actual money. Per-
haps your, husband has the price of
a drink, of many of them. But he is
fighting a losing battl against age.
He needs the residence Of his arteries
and the elasticity of his tissues and
the clearness of his thought processes
in his battle-not only for himself, but
also for you whose living he is max
ing. He cannot afford it physically.

John Lind, of Minneapolis, for
merly personal representative of
President Wilson in Mexico, de-
livered an address last Tuesday
afternoon before the Minneapolis
Women s Club. He made no ref
erence to the religious situation in
Mexico. He denounced as lies the
stories of indignities offered to
women by the so-called Constitu-
tionalists. 1t is rather late in the
day for Mr.. Lind to deny facts
that have been attested by eye
witnesses, and vouched for by
people Of unimpeachable integrity.
We would suggest that John Lind
read DR.. Kelley's "Book Of Red
and Yellow" and answer it if he
can. Mr.. Lind is unfortunate in
many of his public utterances and
writings and it would be we'll if he
would cease to infict his views
about Mexico on the public.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
DID BOOZE EVER DO you ANY
GOOD?

No other voice against the use of al
cohol as a beverage is speaking with
the definiteness and certainty of that
of the sanitarian. The international
congress on hygiene, meeting in Petro-
grad, spoke so strongly against the use
OF alcohol that the Russian govern
ment took heed. The government had
enjoyed rich return from the sale OF
vodka for many years. The govern
ment began a campaign against
the use of vodka and at the same
time readiusted it's revenues so as to
provide for revenue from other
sources. HAaN
The North Carolina board of health
passed resolution condemning the
use of alcoholic beverages on the
ground that the use of alcohol was
inimical to the public health.
Members of the section on preven-
tive medicine of the American Medi-
cal Association plan to advocate SINH
lar action by that body.
In the recent Safety First meeting
in Chicago condemnation of the use of
alcohol by reason of the dangers from
accident and the impairment of eff
cheney caused by it was frequently
heard.
According to the public press the
Illinois Steel Co. has put ban on it.
These are illustrations of the new
force or group of forces that are en-
listing themselves for the fight against
intemperance. The reason for the
interest of these groups is not one of
sentiment or even of morality. They
have been taught by experience that
alcohol produces inefficiency, increases
hazards and lowers resistance.
1t is easy to prove that alcohol
harms the ordinary cells of the body.
Alcohol is drug. Alcohol addiction
is drug habit. The abuse of the
drug will go the way that drug abuse
of every kind is destined to go.
The question which heads this col
umn is not from long-haired or even
a prohibition orator. 1t is part of
an electric sign displayed over the
gates of the Illinois Steel Co.

CATHOLIC CHARITY.

Not long ago Colonel Roosevelt
remarked to Judge Gary, during
a tour of inspection of the New
York stations for the unemployed,
that eve know that out of every
dollar they get, some philanthro-
pies spend SO cents to give Z cents
to those who need the Z cents. -
The statement is exaggerated,
of course; but it hits off the situa-
ton admirably as far as most pub
lie philanthropies are concerned.
The cost of administering them
eats up the funds contributed for
the poor. In too many cases high
salaried officers make it point to
see that as little as possible of
the funds at their disposal reach
the poor for whom they are in
tended and then only after an
oficious investigation of condi-
tiOns.
There is one charitable society,
however, about which the figures
quoted by Colonel Roosevelt can
be reversed and even then they
do not tell the whole story. The
st. Vincent de Paul Society gives
to the poor more than SO cents
out Of every dollar contributed
for their support. The overhead
cost is not more than 2 or 3 cents
on every dollar and sometimes
much less than that. There are
no salaried officials; no office ex-
penses; no officious investigators
nothing that will humiliate in any
way the poverty-stricken homes
or individuals to whom the society
ministers. It's members give per-
sOnal attention to the cases
brought to their notice and no
remuneration is expected save
that which comes from the con-
seriousness of. doing Gods work.
Their hope of reward is based on
the promise of the Saviour that
even cup of cold water given to
a disciple in His name will not be
overlooked in the great account
ing.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES should
bear in mind this feature of the
St. Vincent de Paul work and
whatever they can afford to give
for the benefit Of the worthy poor
should be placed in the hands of
this organization which is doing
a world of good in the quiet UNI
ostentatious way in which it dis
penses its bounty. The workers
keep themselves in the back
ground. Their devotion to the
poor and their personal interest
in the welfare of the unfortunate
is sometimes unknown even to
their families and friends. They
work in secret knowing that God
"who seeth in secret" will
bestow upon them the only reward
they covet-His approval and gra-
cious benediction.
