BISHOP HEBRON RECOV-
ERING.

As we go to press, it is pleasing
to note that the latest reports
from the bedside of the Right
Reverend Bishop Hebron of Wi
mona, who was seriously wounded
last week by, supposedly de-
mented priesttof the diocese, are
quite encouraging, and indicate
that he is practically out of dan
ger unless unforeseen complica-
lions set in. For some days after
the shooting it was feared that
septic poisoning would endanger
his life, but the attending physi-
clans are now Of the opinion that
the danger from this source is
very remote.
The many friends of Bishop
Hebron, who is weH-known
throughout the United States, will
be pleased to hear that his condi-
ton is so favorable, and they pray
that he may be spared for many
years to bring to successful frui-
ton the religious and educational
projects he has undertaken since
his elevation to the episcopal see
of Winona in 1910.

of a candidate for canonizatlon to
the honors of the altar.
We have no quarrel with the
editor Of Proof if he wishes to
use this title for one OF his de-
partments, provided he under
stands it's true significance. That
there is reason for this proviso is
evident to all who read the para
graph in which he gives the reason
for his choice. He says the duties
of "the Devils Advocate" are
to talk the person down if he
could. He was expected to use
all the arts of the devil falsehood
in all its forms, anything, in fact,
that could prevent the candidate
from being passed to sainthood. =
This is a new idea Of the duties
of this official. 1t is a fine ex-
ample of the end justifying the
means. According to this, it is
permissible to lie and do anything
else IIldC is morally wrong Ill Ofdef
to attain the end in view. The
Church would not tolerate a
"Devil's Advocate" who would
employ falsehood in all it's
forms " i'll order to prevent saint
from receiving due honor.
II the editor Of this department
Of ''Proof" feels free to use all
the arts of the devil falsehood
in all it's FORMS to accomplish his
purpose, his trials will be A
travesty on justice. Unless he
knows a whole lot more about
printing than he knows about
the real duties Of "the Devil S
Advocate his magazine will not
have a wide circulation even

JOHN BARLEYCORN AND
CRIMINALS.

During my experience as prison
physician and as superintendent of
hospital for criminal insane | have
known and studied about eighteen
hundred criminals, writes Dr. Rock
Sleyster in Everybodys Magazine.
The evidence | present is taken
from the lives of 592 of these men.
This means that in only a third of
the cases have | been able to cor
roborate the prisoners statement
from outside sources, or have con-
sidered his information sufficiently
reliable to accept for statistical pur-
poses.
Here are the figures:
Of this number 217, or 1858 per cent,
were the sons of drunken fathers
OF this number 239, or 4O.4 per cent,
were addicted to the use of alcohol
before reaching the age of fifteen.
OF this number 81, or 52.2 per cent,
habitually drank to excess.
OF this number but 81, or So per
cent, were abstainers
OF this number 584, or $40 per cent,
spent their evenings in saloons, at
cheap shows or on the streets. OF

rate study of 269 murders. Let us

patronize this department of The

this detail in future. Failure to

reason why many inquirers look
in vain for an answer to their

NO PLACE FOR BIGOTRY.

NO PLACE FOR BIGOTRY.
The recent convention of the
National Education Association
held in San Francisco had an I'M
fortunate ending. Charges were
made that religious bigotry was
injected into the election Of a pres
ident to succeed David Starr Jor-
dan. 1t is claimed that a deliber-
ate attempt was made to defeat
Miss Grace Strachan Of New
York, who was a candidate for the.
presidency, on the ground that
she was a Catholic; and no denial
Of the charge has been made by
the Association.
One would think that the dele
gates to a convention Of this kind
would be above such tactics.
They are supposed to possess all
the enlightenment, culture and
broad mindedness which is said to
be characteristic Of those who have
received the benefit Of the best
education that can be given in the
public schools. They, at least,
should not only know what is ex-
pected of intelligent American cit
liens, but they should give the ex-
ample to their less favored breth-
Frei1..
If the question Of religion was
brought into the, convention hall,
and there is no reason to doubt
that it was, the delegates should
have been the first to protest
against this un-American discrim-
nation, on the ground Of religion,
against any citizen who aspires to
an office which he or she is capa-
bic Of filing. The fact that can
didate is a Catholic should be no
bar to promotion to the highest
official position within the gift of
the National Educational Associ-
alton.
We have reason to believe that
the National Education Associa-
tion is not very broad-minded on
the question of religion. Last
winter it announced that a prize
of $1,000 would be given for the
best essay on "The Essential Place
of Religion in Education, with an
Outline of a Plan for Introducing
Religious Teaching in the Public
Schools. F." When information was
sought as to the meaning to be at
tached to the word Religion, " we
were told that Religion is to be
defined in way not to run coun-
ter to the creeds Of Protestant,
Roman Catholic or jew" In
other words, it was to be mon
grel variety, so nondescript in
character as to retain practically
nothing but the name of religion.
The essay was to deal with "the
Heavenly Father =. the
Commandment Of Hillel and Jesus
of Nazareth the high
ethical teaching and spirit Of serv-
ice and sacrifice Indicated in the
Sermon on the Mount. y
This must be taken as a sample
of the milk-and-water variety of
religion which the National Edu-
cational Association would intro
duce into the public schools, and,
presumably, it is the kind of re-
hgion in which the Association of
ficially believes. This conception
of religion in education effectu-
ally barred from the competition
not only Catholics but all who pos
sess any definite convictions in re-
gard to religion. Under the cir
cumstances, it was not to be, ex-
pected that Catholic could be
placed at the head Of the Associa-
ton. 1t may be well for Catholic
teachers to remember these things
and govern themselves accord
ingly.

1t seems that test case must
be instituted III the courts Of
Arizona before the railroads will
accept for shipment into that state
any beverage containing alcohol.
Churches which use wine for sacra-
mental purposes will not receive
renewed supplies, at least through
the railroads. Those who drafted
the prohibition law maintain that
it was not their intention to bar
saeramental wine; but they failed
to make an exceptionsin its favor
in the law, which is now on the
statute books and the railroads
are taking advantage of this, with
a view, probably, of making the
prohibition law odious to the peo-
pie Of Arizona.

Middlebury Loses to Vermont in
Debate

The first inter collegiate dt bate of
the season was held at Burlington on
the evening of March IL. The subject
of the debate was, Resolved, that
the United States should own and
operate the Telephone and Telegraph
Systems. The Middlebury team, sup
porting the affirmative was composed
of Cole, Haskins and Miller. The Yer
mont team unfolding the negative was
composed of Powers, Prindle and Hunt.
The judges were the Rev. A. H. Brad
ford of Rutland, Professor Bassett of
Smith college, and Judge L. P. Slack
of st. Johnsbury. Ten minutes were
allowed for the opening speech and six
minutes for rebuttal.
The main contentious of the Vermont
team were as follows: There is no OBJ
lection to the present system as regards
rates, which are cheaper; as to service,
which is continuous; or by employees
who are protected from injury and are
pensioned; regulation of private monop-
olies is proving efficient; desire for
private gains brings about efficiency in
increased numbers of civil service en-
ployes, and from the spoils system in
choosing the higher officials detr-
mental to public service and the moral
ity of the people; destruction of indi-
vdual initiative, financial disadvan-
tages.
The main contentious of the Middle
bury team were the following: Gov
eminent ownership IS no radical or
novel change, as practically all the
larger countries of the world control
the telephone and telegraph lines; and
the government can operate them much
cheaper than can private concern due
to the ability to combine the systems
mentioned with the postal system, the
avoidance of large salaries. litigation,
lobby expenses, watering stock, strikes;
economic and social aims which pri-
vate concern does not have; govern
ment ownership is practical as it has
been a success in Europe, and because
the postal system has succeeded in this
country.
After the debate dance was held.
The expenses of the Middlebury team
were betrayed by the proceeds of Tag
Day." March II.
