NEW RITUAL FOR ALL SOULS

Two very timely topics are
treated in the current pamphlet of
the Catholic Mind series: "The
Catholic School, and the new
Apostolic Constitution concerning
the celebration of three Masses on
All Souls Day. The attitude of
the Church and the Catholic
point Of view on the important
and far-reaching subject of the
education of children in the pub
lie schools are set forth by the
Hon. William d. Guthrie, one of
the leaders of the New York Bar,
and esteemed among the foremost
constitutional lawyers of the day.
Concern for the souls of the
dead has ever been one of the
most consoling of Christian prac-
tees. Hence the concession to all
priests by the present Pope of the
privilege of celebrating three
Masses, on the day on which the
solemn commemoration of all the
faithful departed is observed, has
occasioned the greatest rejoicing
throughout the Catholic World
The reasons actuating the Holy
Father in granting this privilege,
as well as the special prayers, in
Latin and English, prescribed by
the Sacred Congregation of Rites
for the Masses to be celebrated on
the day, are given in this pam.

have in handy form all the de-
tails necessary to comply with the

THE MISSIONARY
QUARTER. /"

The September issue of Exten-
sion Magazine" is a missionary
number. It is not inappropriate,
therefore, that the editorial
written by DR.. Kelley, the Presi-
dent Of the Society, should take
the form of an appeal to its read
ers, each one of whom is asked to
contribute a quarter of dollar
to the home mission work of the
Church and to urge their friends
to do likewise.
The Missionary Quarter idea
was suggested by DR.. Kelley at
the Toledo Convention of the
American Federation of Catholic
Societies and met with general
appreciation. Twenty-Five cents is
a small contribution to the work
of church extension, it is true
but there are at least sixteen mil
lion Catholics in the United
States, and if the majority Of
them would give a quarter, the
aggregate would suffice to do all
the work the Catholic Church Ex-
tension Society has to do in a
year, and to do it better than ii
is being done now, by allowing
the society to plan ahead and
make provision for the future. :
Besides that, it would enable
the society to make aSdonation
to foreign missions at least 4 as
large as that which is contributed
for that purpose today in the
United States, : and leave a sur.
plus sufficient to solve the immi
grafton problem.
The Missionary Quarter idea
is an admirable one. It's posi-
bilities are unlimited. But-hoN
many will see the pointg How
many will contribute a quarter
in the name of God, for the work
of Church Extension? How many
will sweeten the gift with what
ever sacrifice it may involve
How many will see that one other

fund to the extent Of another

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
FLoRIDA's LIQUOR LAW.


Florida recently passed liquor law
which places severe restrictions upon
the sale of liquors in that state. The
most important points of the law are
summed by the Commoner as fol-
lows:
First: That Intoxicating liquor can
only be sold in sealed packages;
Second: That the dealer shall not
himself drink, consume, or give away
any Intoxicating liquor, and that he
shall not permit any employee or pilr-
chaser to drink, consume or give
away any Intoxicating liquor on the
premises; Gbe
Third, That the liquor shall not
be sold before o'clock in the morn
ing or after 6 o'clock in the evening;
Fourth: That no chairs shall be
allowed in place where liquor is
sold; that no music or other attrac-
tions shall be permitted there, and
that no blinds or curtains shall OBJ
scure the interior of the saloon, day
or night; and
Fifth: That no goods shall be sold
on credit
These are the principal features of
the new law, although there are other
provisions, such as the prohibition of
the employment of minors or women;
the sale of liquor to minors or to
drunkards, etc.
Z The legislature has taken a step in
the right direction. The new law is
not only good in itself but will make
easier the next step which can not
long be delayed, namely, the entire
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of liquor in the state.

"HoME, SWEET HOME.

How many Of our readers know
that the melody of Home, Sweet
Home,' had its origin among a
Catholic people; and a people,
who were, strange to say, classed
amongst the worlds illiterates.
The story of the composition of
the words Of this song, although
familiar, will bear repetition.
John Howard Payne, who wrote
it, had, after a disastrous career in
London, gone to live in Paris.
There in the attic Of house in
Palais Royal with sounds Of the
gay boulevards coming up to him,
the opening words Of his undying
song were written. In 1923 KEN
bic bought his manuscript and one
was used for the libretto of an
opera. In this "Home, Sweet
Home" was introduced. It is OF
the music of the song, however,
that we now write; and when it is
learned that this is setting of an
old Calabrian peasant song, ia
miliar to the mountain folk OF
Southern Italy and Sicily for gen
erations, its Catholic origin will
be evident to all, the peasantry OF
Southern Italy being amongst the
staunchest Catholics in the world

A WORD TO LAWMAKERS.

Moral suasion and high examples
are very good in their way, but no
moral influence can counterfeit the
shameless temptations that lie in the
path of our young men and women
today. 1t is unnecessary to enumer-
ate them here. We claim as right
to have them removed by act of
Parliament. Our men on the way
home from work on pay days, our
women in the poorest districts, our
young boys in their clubs with
licensed bars, are all tempted to
violate the laws of sobriety, and it is
the duty of every government to con-
Germ itself seriously in the matter. IL
acts of Parliament cannot make them
sober, they can at least make possible
and easy the practice of this hardy
virtue. Human nature is not radically
bad, and, given fair conditions, it will
become strong in the practice of a
virtue that makes for physical and
moral progress. To our law-givers
we say remove the inducements to
drinking that stare our young people
in the face, and trust to religion, to
self-interest and love of virtue to
make them sober and self-respecting.

RAB|D BOOK WITHDRAWN
METHODIST BOOK CONCERN IN
DUBUQUE REFUSES PLACE
TO ANTLcATHoLIc BOOK.

The following communication which
is self-explanatory was received re-
Gently by the Dubuque Times-Journal
for publication:
Il am happy to state that the plac-
ing for sale upon the book tables of
the Methodist book concern of rabid
anti-Roman Catholic publication, pur-
porting to be the autobiography of an
ex-priest of the church, was mat
ter with which neither the pastor of
st. Luke Church nor the Upper Iowa
conference had anything to do what
ever. AS soon as it was noticed, its
immediate withdrawal was demanded,
and the agent compiled at once with
proper apologies.
"The sale of books attacking in an
unfair or discourteous manner the re-
ligious views and practices Of our fell
low Christians, is not countenanced
by the conference or by the local
church. 1t is our wish to live in cor
dial and tolerant relations with all
who love our Lord Jesus Christ sin
cerely and to give no needless offense.
Il freely make this statement as a
sincere message to any who have been
disturbed or offended by the incident
mentioned above.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE PRoPA-
GANDA.

Among the resolutions passed at
the late convention of the Cath
ole Total Abstinence Union of
America, held at Pittsburgh, is
one which deprecates the per-
nicious habit of treating to intoxi-
.cants, whether in public or pri-
waite, as one Of the greatest in
centives to intemperance = 1t
urges ON clergy and laity the or
ganization and maintenance of
juvenile societies, and appeals to
teachers to instruct the youth In
the value of total abstinence and
to make this a part of their curric-
ulum.
1t is well, of course, to reiterate
these time-honored resolutions
but we fear that, in the majority
of cases, the appeal will fall upon
unheeding ears. Every right
thinking man is convinced that
the treating habit is the one great
curse Of the liquor traffic In Amer
lea, and that its abolition would
| go far to solve the problem by do
ling away with the greater part of
the evils connected with the sa-
loon business. But is it not too

OUR LADY'S ROSARY
Mother, now I'll say my beads
For my soul some comfort needs;
And what better can there be

Mother, now Ill say my DeadS,-
For my soul some comfort needs;
And what better can there be
Than to raise my thoughts to thee?
Sweet Mother!
This simple little rhyme, says the
Sacred Heart Review, was written by
the Rev. Matthew Russell, s. J., Of
happy memory. Many are the wit
.nesses to the rest and refreshment
that come to the spirit through the
homely devotion of saying the beads. .
The late Cardinal Vannutelli, who,
said Pope Benedict XIV, was the glory
of the Sacred College" loved to re-
cite the Rosary In the closing years
of his life, his brother, Cardinal Vim
cent Vannutelli, came to him each
day in the quiet evening hour, and to-
gether, these two brothers-princes of
the Church said their beads" What
holy and beautiful practise! Praise,
Of our Lady and of her Divine Son at
one and the same time.
He who will our Saviour praise,
And honor Mary. too,
Must heavenWard his spirit raise
And say the Rosary through,

poet pays this tribute:

SOME DRAMATISTS AND
LITERARY IDOLS.

Teachers of English literature,
students of the drama, discerning
theatergoers, and even the gen
eral reader" will find the Septem-
Der % issue of the Catholic Mind
an informing and interesting num-
Der. The Catholics attitude
toward the modern stage and the
literary idols Of the day is indi-
Gated with their customary felicity
and acumen by Father James j..
Daily, S. J., and Mr.. Joyce Kilmer.
From our colleges and academies
requests frequently come for crit
ical papers on contemporary writ
ers. This issue of the Catholic
Mind meets the need admirably. 4
When Everybody is reading, Z
and almost everybody is prais1ng
authors of today whose principals
are anything but Christian, Cath
olics sometimes grow bewildered,
begin to fear that they are too
narrow and suspect that the lit
erary and dramatic world is
right after all. There is a good
corrective for this tendency IN
this number of the Catholic Mind,
in which Father DAILY and Mr.. Kill
mer, with their usual literary
charm and critical discernment,
put In their proper places such
idols of the marketplace as lbsen,
SHAW, Tagore, Lafcadio Hearn and
certain contemporary dramatlsts.

Extension Society has done won
ders. 1t has more than justified
the hopes of those who called 1T
into existence. The remarkable
story of what it has accomplished
will be told in detail in the De-
cember issue of Extension The
chapels built in mission districts;
the churches helped in poorer
parishes; the affairs, vestments
and other requisites provided for
the Holy Sacrifice; the furnish
ings donated to churches and
schools; the support given to mis-
sionaries, catechists, and school
teachers; the Mass intentions
distributed to needy priests; the.
chapel and motor cars that bear
the gospel message to the scat
tered Catholics of remoter sec:
tions; the literature and church
goods of all kinds sent broadcast;
the missionary spirit fostered
among Catholics; the relief given
to the Mexican fefugees-these
and a score Of other good works
constitute but a small part OF
what the Church Extension So
ciety has done for the home mis-
sions during the past decade OF
years.
But what Of the future? The
demands made upon the society
increase, instead Of lessening, as
the years go by and it needs a
well-filled treasury to meet even
the most pressing of them. 1t
depends entirely upon the charity
Iof Catholics. It's ability. to carry
on it's chosen work is measured,
aye, and limited, too, only by the
generosity of those to whom it
appeals.
The missionary quarter" will
solve the problem for it If the
response be commensurate with
the number Of Catholics in this
country. To reach the majority
Of them, the Society relies on
Extension Magazine" and its
readers. The result will depend
upon the amount of publicity
given to this appeal and the
charity and good will of Cath
olics. The readers of The Cath
Ollie Bulletin have been generous
in their response to charitable ap-
Ipeals from individual mission
aries in this and other lands, and
we are confident that they will
not overlook this opportunity OF
participating in a work which has
the approval of Holy Mother
i Church and the blessing of the
Supreme Pontiff. We will gladly
undertake to forward to the office
of the Catholic Church Extension

AN UNWORTHY CHIEF.

General Carranza, erstWhiles
revolutionary leader and brigand,
is now the official head of a sup
posedly stable government in
Mexico, raised to that honorable
position by the formal letter of
recognition delivered to his repre-
sentative in Washington last
Tuesday by Secretary Of State
Lansing. The South-American
Republics represented at the con-
ference held week ago in the
National Capital have followed
the lead of the United States and
have given formal approval to
the new ruler Of the neighboring
Republic.
This is a triumph for Carranza.
He has reached the goal of his
ambitions. What matters it that
he has literally waded through
blood and lust to a throne; that
he has permitted, if not encour-
aged, his followers to commit the
most shameful atrocities on the
persons of innocent non-combat-
ants men, women and children !;
that he has striven to rob the
people Of Mexico Of the faith of
their forefathers by torturing
and exiting priests and religious,
looting churches and Decorating
sanctuaries; that he has plundered
his fellow citizens of their lawful
possessions and paralyzed legiti-
mate business Of all kinds! Is he
not now, by the favor of our adj
ministration, the first citizen of his
country? For over two years he
has defed the American Govern
ment and practically coerced it
into extending to him the right
hand Of fellowship.
That Carranza is unworthy OF
the recognition accorded him
by the United States goes without
saying. 1t is a case of any port
! in a storm. Our laundering
policy towards Mexico made il
necessary that some definite step
be taken to put an end to the dis
order which this country helped
to foment and 10, the result
Whether or not the United States
Twas justified in taking this step
1remains to be seen. Judging by
1.-THE past, little confidence can be
placed in Carranza. 1t is true he
has pledged himself to give Mex
leo a stable form of government
lin which the fullest liberty o.
Iconscience will be granted t.
all. But this country must mo-
| give ND it's watchful waiting
lpolicy. 1t is now more necessary

Last week some one sent us a
copy of chain-prayer with in
'structions to send it to nine others
and a warning not to break the
chain. We promptly consigned it
to the waste paper basket and we
advise the sender to confine him
self or, more probably, herself, to
the "Our Father the Hail
Mary, /" and other recognized
prayers of the Church as means
of obtaining spiritual favors and
pay no attention to such un-
authorized prayers. The only con-
sideration one should give to a
chain-prayer is to burn it. To
carry out its provisions is sign
of superstition.

The value Of intoxicating total
abstinence among the young is too
elementary a principle of sobriety
to be gainsaid by anyone who
knows that the child is father to
the man. IL the child be trained
In home and school to take a right
attitude toward the drink habit,
there is little reason to fear that
he will prove recreant to the
promise of early years in after
life. In view of the baneful infiu-
ence which the drink habit has
over it's victims, it is not too much
to assert that every child should
be taught to avoid the flowing
bowl as the greatest enemy to his
physical, industrial and moral
welfare. Not even the possibility
that he may never exceed the
bounds of moderation should
tempt parent or friend to offer the
first glass. All things considered,
the person who knows not the
taste Of alcoholic beverages is far
better off than one who INDUCES
even moderately. 1t is true that
total abstinence does not make up
| for the lack of other virtues. No
one claims that it necessarily
makes one a saint. But, other
things being equal, the total alb
stainer has a decided advantage
over the tippler, no matter how
moderately the latter may indulge
At the present time there is lit
tie hope of injecting new enthusi-
asm into the ranks of total alb
stainers unless an effort be made
to teach the rising generation the
scientific and moral principles
which underlie the total absti.
nence movement. 1t is not suffi.
cient to administer the pledge to
boys and girls at first Communion
or Confirmation and then pay nc
further attention to them. They
must be able to give reasons fol-
the faith that is in them, and tC
meet the challenge Of those who
would know the rationale of tota
abstinence. To that end children
should be instructed in the nee6
and value Of the pledge as a per
Isonal safeguard and made famil
lar with the economic, physiologi
cal, social and moral reasons tina
make the keeping Of it a Chris
tan duty. This involves work OF
the part of parents, priests ant
teachers in the home, in Churcl
and in school; but it is a worl
that will rebound to the future
| welfare not only-of the individual
but of the Church and Of the ma
| ton.
