Backes in annulling the marriage of
Edward Schultz and Mary Millerick,
both of whom were under age when
they went to Wilmington and were
married.
Declaring that the annulment was
the first scandal of the kind which
had ever occurred in the parish over
which he has for many years presided,
Father Hogan expressed his vigorous
disapproval of the action Of the court.
A Catholic Judge, he said, should have
at least stepped aside and let some
other member Of the court hear the
case. He warned his congregation
that even though the civil courts
might recognize the annulment it
would never be sanctioned by the
Church, which would not recognize
the right Of either contracting party
to remarry during the life Of the other.
Vice-Chancellor Beckes was former
ly a member of the Sacred Heart
parish. He was the first Catholic ever
appointed to the Court Of Chancery
in New Jersey.

MENACE VERDICT.

The trial held at Joplin, Mo-.
which was concluded last week, not
only was announced that the Menace
had been indicted, but also that the
verdict had been declared in favor of
Father Rossman awarding him a
substantial amount of damages. AL
though this verdict against scurril-
Gus sheets is nothing new in the late
campaign of bigots and anti-Catholic
prejudice, it adds to the long list of
verdicts rendered in favor of Catho-
lies throughout the country. where
strong prejudices against priests and
the Church and members of Catholic
orders are made the basis of legal
action. The verdict in the present
instance. however. will in nowise put
an end to the campaign which the
Menace Is waging and as martyr to
the cause will explain how its pub
fishers are the victims of Cathode
or papal plot. Its readers are not peo-
pie to whom either facts or fair
mindedness can make an appeal. The
Menace furnishes the sort of mater
tal its readers want, it furnishes the
only material its readers wish to be-
lieve. and while there is livelihood in
1t, the appeal to prejudice will be
made by those who desire to live by
capitalizing tn prejudices and gulla-
bility Of the public.

lRELANp-A NATION.

A great number of persons have
attempted to interest theworld in Ire
land, via pictures, but all have failed
until a wideawake young man by the
name of Walter MacNamara. came
along. This is what he did. He knew,
as well as you and I, that Ireland
had culture, universities, a romantic
history, before England. He said to
himself: There must be way of tel
ling the great story of this people, a
folk so exclusive and yet universal,
that even Charles Lever could not be
a Dickens of Ireland"
He took the moving picture for his
medium. He took camera and oper-
ator to Ireland, engaged an Irish COM
pany, and laid the background of the
thrilling scenes among the many his
torical and beautiful spots of the EN-
erald Isle. The Lakes of Killarney,
Muckross Abbey, The Seven Churches
Of Blendalough. and others equally
famous are shown in the story. There
are such scenes as County Wicklow,
the ancient cathedral and the monas-
terry destroyed by the Danes in A. D.
977;" the very landmarks, untouched,
where Michael Dwyer, the beloved
Wicklow outlaw, was wont to gather
his band. With this brilliant back
ground he worked out all the histori-
cal events in the lives Of such pat

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

The anti-Catholic riot which occur.
red at Appleton, Wis.,, during the
early part of the week, furnishes an
explanation of just exactly what will
take place with religious bigotry al
lowed to go uncurbed and the pas
sions of religious hatred unchecked
History furnishes many examples of
just exactly what will take place
when for political or personal reas-
ons religion is dragged in to determ-
Inc the issue of social or political
questions or to gain advancement
for any cause. The "Knownothing"
riots of New England were shameful
outbreaks of religious passion and
prejudice. We pride ourselves upon
our general position before the
world, yet the religious veneer that
marks the distrustful, is strongly
shown in many localities. At Apple.
ton, Wis, Catholics are far in the
minority. The street preachers who
were melting hatred and suspicious
were taken in charge by the police.
For the reason that the street meet
ings were broken up the bigots de-
cided that they should adopt lawless
methods to avenge themselves. This
marked the outbreak of the riot
which followed in which the lawless
element pitted themselves against
the peace officers of the city. Bigo-
try is not a sham or a phantom, it
is physical as we'll as mental.

PoLANp,s DREAM.

IL M1Sefy likes company, SO does
it make strange friends. The rapid
ity with which Germany modified
her army and was on the ground
ready for the conflict struck such
terror into the hearts of the nations
of Europe that they fastened to
make friends with any and every ma
ton and people. Prominent among
the nations listed with the allies is
Russia which, according to the stand
ards of Europe's liberty and western
civilization, meant little more than
the oppressor of small nations and
foe of liberty. There was some
thing behind the movement of Rus
STA beside disinterested attitude to-
ward the small nations of Europe.
1t is very difficult to reconcile Rus
sia's attitude according to her pres
ent explanation and the facts of her
past history. To allay any suspicion,
Poland was promised her freedom If
she would espouse the cause of the
allies and enlist on the side of Rus
STA. This promise startled the world.
The attempt on the part Of Poland
to have France and England guaran-
tee the faith of Russia's promise was
ignored by Russia. Poland was
forced to accept a matter in which
she had no choice and has since that
time been in the theatre of war in
the conflict in the East. Not only is
this true, but the nations of west
ern Europe are already beginning to
realize the truth of the declaration
of Germany's statement that Germ
any was tighting to stand between
the western civilization and Slav
domination. Explaining this situa-
ton in line of events of the recent
date, it is we'll known that Russia
stood in the way of Christmas
truce. The calendars were different,
but what should it matter If they
were. The Holy Father asked that
truce be observed at Christmas
time. The rejection of this proposal
clearly established the attitude with
which Russia undertook the cam
paign, and it. showed how little SYM
pathy Russia had with the Christian
ity of western Europe. Her intoler-
ance in Galacia is an example of
Russian intolerance as exhibited
throughout that portion of the ter
ritory of Galacia coming into Russian
domination. Russia is attempting
to force, the Orthodox creed upon the
Catholic population. With the Eng
lish government as the ally of Rus
STA it would be very difficult to salts
factorily explain Britain's new found
interest in Catholics and the friend
ship for her Eastern ally. With
Catholic Poland the theatre of war,
the strength of Russia growing. the
weakening of the power of the ma
tions Of Europe, because of the awful
conflict, Poland's dream is but
dream indeed, and we'll might the
Catholic Poland wish that Germany
will strike a decisive blow against
her Eastern agressor.

AS 1T SHOULD BE.
rom the Osakis Review:

From the Osakis Review:
In the school house in Belleville.
Wis.,, few evenings ago, upon motion
of the Catholic priest, the Methodist
minister was elected president of the
community's social center for the COM
ing winter.
Then three basketball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, the keeper of the village
restaurant. dentist, clothier, team
ster, druggist, garage owner, the
banker, the saloonkeeper, a hardware
merchant and house painter.
The differed in religion, in politics.
in income, in social status about as
widely as men can differ. But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences
for the novel purpose of discovering
how much good fellowship there was
in meeting together, now and then as
equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the de.
mocracy Of frank, fair discussion of
public questions. they are finding out,
these differing men of Belleville, that
as human beings, they're amazingly
alike, once you get below the surface.
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville, more tol-
erance, more friendliness Of feeling,
more give and take than it had ever
known before. Even when they shall
differ again-as, Of course they often

CONVENT INSPECTION BILLS.

Pet bills disclosing the personality
OF their authors are at this time of
the year being brought to the atten-
ton of legislators in this country.
where legislative halls are infested
with those who place prejudice in
place OF statemanship. and let bigo-
try guide their judgment. Legisla-
lures In session at the present time
are already witnessing the introduce
ton of the pet bills of the Guardians
OF Liberty. asking for convent in
spection. Lately the state legisla-
ture of Minnesota was asked to give
consideration to such bill. There
is little danger. however, that such
bill will get past the committee, since
bills have been introduced in differ
ent sections of the country with the
same object in view. Convent inspec-
ton is particular hobby of the big
OTIS who suppose that in this particu-
lar. the Catholic church is the most
vulnerable. failing to realize that
this Is the stronghold of Catholicity,
and that the education of alarm of
the church is its greatest strength.
Most bills introduced with the idea
OF convent inspection have died a
perfectly natural death, and have
been lost In the shuttle the same as
their authors are lost sight of among
the great body of broad minded citi-
zens of the country. There seems
to be particular microbe furnishing

have their root in prejudice and dis

CATHOLIC EDUCATION,

A most admirable exposition of
the attitude of the Catholic church
upon matters educational is con-
tanned in the recent pastoral letter
of the Rt. Rev. Timothy Corbett,
Bishop of Crookston. The letter of
his Grace is not only a statement of
the primary purposes of education,
but may also be taken as an argu-
mentative exposition under the fol-
lowing sub-heads. 1.-THE Necessity of
"a Religious Education" mo Moral
ity Without Religion" SIS Religion
Necessary for the Stability of a Ma
tion." 1.-THE Home. the Church. and
the School," 1.-THE Home not Suf-
ficient for Education" and 1.-The
Church not Sufficient for Religious
Instructions" Further on in his
letter His Grace makes comparison
between the public and parochial
school system of instruction. and
considerable space is given to the in
struction of Catholic teachers, and
Catholic colleges. Taken in its en-
tirety, the letter of the Right Rev.
Bishop is an admirable exposition of
the fundamental truths Of Catholic
doctrine in matters of faith and
morals as effected by education and
early training. The pastoral letter
Of the Bishop Of Crookston should
find its way into every Catholic home.
and the arguments set forth should
be familiar to the minds of Catholic
parents. Whether the public gen.
orally is in sympathy with it or not,
there is growing necessity for the
reimbursement of educational princi-
pies and a need for the infusion of
moral stamina into the educational
organization throughout the coun-
try. The question is long gone be-
yond the period Of discussing wheth-
er or not the bible should be read
in the schools. The moral tone it.

sufficient to prove that not simply

POWER OF PARENTS.

The responsibility which rests upon
parents in the upbringing of their
children was dwelt upon by Rev. John
Leather, o. p, when, at Haverstock
Hill. Eng, he spoke of "The Safe.
guard of the Catholic Home" He
quoted Cardinal Manning: "Only God
can make home;" man might
build house, but unless our Lord is
in that house it is merely a shelter,
and not home.
Catholics have a great and solemn
duty to bring up their children in the
way that makes for happiness. Cath
Ollie parents must first be fervent
themselves" continued the preacher,
I'VE might say the Catholic home is
school, and the parents the teach
ers. The parents must study we'll
what they teach. Unless they love
and study the law of Almighty God,
how can they teach their children the
love and fear Of God? So great is
the responsibility of Catholic parents.
They have to render an account to
God. not only for their own selves,
but for the little children committed
to them. And what an honor is thus
committed to Catholic parents! God
puts into their hands the means of
preparing souls in the way that will
bring them to heaven to serve God for
all eternity. The parents have the
power Of raising up saints and giving
them the power of reigning with God
forever In heaven. It is a great honor
and like all honors, it has its respon.
sibility."
