ANTI-TUBERCULOsIs CAM
PAIGN.

For some years it has been Gus
tomary for the National Red Cross
Society to sell Christmas seals
during the holiday season for the
purpose of securing sufficient
funds to carry on campaign
against tuberculosis and it's wide
spread ravages. This year, as
usual, the sale of these seals will
begin on Thanksgiving Day, No
vember 25, in all parts Of the
country.
The Minnesota Public Health
Association is in charge of the
campaign for this state and it
hopes to more than double the
fund raised last year when 2,000,-
900 seals were sold. Eleven and
a half million seals have been or
dered for this state and most of
them have already been allotted
to the campaign managers In the
different localities. To encour-
age the efforts made by the pro-
meters of this laudable and wor-
thy project, the services Of a Wis
ting nurse will be given free for
Eene month to the FIVE agencies sell
ing the largest number Of seals
per capita. Many other valuable
prizes will be awarded to the
county, city, town and village hav-
ing the largest sale of seals per
capita according to the population.
A bronze medal will be given to
every child selling one hundred
seals, and Red Cross button to
every child selling twenty-five
seals.
From fifty to ninety per cent of
the proceeds of the sale of these
seals viii be used for work IN the
community in which the seals are
sold. Only ten per cent is given
to the National Society. The bal
ance is used by the local commit
tee and, in places where no local
committee exists, by the State As

MEXICAN PRELATES' STATEMENT
DENIES ATTACK ON GOVERN.
MENT AND DECLARES
FOR PEACE.

The Mexican prelates living in San
Antonio, Texas, issued a statement on
November 9, declaring they believed
it their duty ito answer the state

ranza,' and outlining their attitude
toward their native country.
The statement, which was signed
by Most Reverend Joseph Mora Del
Rio, Archbishop of Mexico, Most
Reverend Eulogio G. Outflow, Arch
bishop of Oaxaca, and six bishops,
says in part:
Neither Don Venustiano Carranza
nor any other person need have a
fear that Mexican bishops and clergy
may be an obstacle to the restoration
OF peace in Mexico, since such restora.

WHY CARRANzA WAS RECOGNIZED
THE ADMINISTRATION WILL
HAVE ONE POSITIVE ACT TO
OFFER IN THE EVENT OF A
CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY.
(From the New York SUM-

IL the reason for President Wilson's
recognition of Venustiano Carranza
and his party as the de facto govern
ment of Mexico be sought within the
boundaries of that republic, it will not
be found. The military situation of
the Carranzista forces do not justify
it. The political circumstances of it's
leader give it no support. The per-
sonal qualities of Carranza, the rec
ord OF his dealings with his followers,
the history of his transactions with
the United States, all combine to
demonstrate the foolhardiness, the
desperation of course that would
entrust to him the rehabilitation of
the disrupted nation. Where, then,
is the factor that has induced Presi-
dent Wilson to adopt a policy that
can be made successful only by the
might of this country, and imposed
on an unwilling people only through
our physical Intervention in a foreign
quarrel?
The Congress of the United States
will assemble in December. There
will be an insistent demand for a COM
plete and open investigation by a
committee of it's members into the re-
lations of the Wilson administration
with Mexico. If, before this inevi-
table demand is heard, that admins
tration has taken no definite step
toward a solution of the difficulties in
Mexico, there can be no reasonable
argument against, no definite and
dignified opposition to, the projected
inquiry. That inquest the admins
tration, contemplating the chaotic out
come of it's vacillation, breads for its
possibilities of exposure and humilia-
ton. But if an affirmative act has
been prescribed, no matter what UNI
wisdom and recklessness it reveals,
the administration believed that the
inquisitors may be decently eyaded,
and the revelation of watchful wait
ing's painful history postponed, if not
forever avoided.
The explanation of Carranza's VIC
tory at Washington, therefore, is
found, not where his contributions to
disorder and revolution have been
made, but in the White House at
Washington, where indecision and in
eptitude have created crisis whose
necessities must at last be met.
Nor should the triumph of Carran-
"a be underestimated, however short

LIND AT LARGE.

The reports sent out from
Washington lately state, with
what truth we have no means Of
judging, that the administration
makes no secret Of it's embarrass-
ment as result of John Lind s
visit to Carranza. The admins
.tration disavows any connection
with him. It is declared positive
ly that "Mr. Lind has no connec-
ton with this government and
that he is not directly or Indirect
ly authorized to speak for the
President. 5"
John Lind's presence at the in
ternational border is as ominous
as that Of a spectre brooding over
fields Of desolation. If, as is gen
orally believed, he is a pal Of Car
rama, he should keep far away
from his chief and not embarrass
him in his attempts to restore
peace in the Republic beyond the
Rio Grande. If Lind allows his
imagination to run riot, as he did
in the now famous, or rather in
famous, article in "The Bellman"
Of Minneapolis, he may conjure up
something more terrible than a
papal bull" and work irrepara-
bic harm to the pretensions of his
ally.
Lind should not be allowed to
run at large. He has been discred-
tied by the administration at
Washington and, no doubt, Car
rama will soon tire of him.
Lind's diplomatic career has end
ed in disaster-for himself.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Tn the course of a speech deliv-
cred in New York last week,
President Wilson made the follow
ing statement:
"May I not say, while | am
speaking of this, that there is an
other danger that we should guard
against? We should rebuke not
only manifestations of racial feel
ing here in America, where there
should be none, but also every
manifestation of religious and Sec
tartan antagonism. 1t does not
become America that within her
borders, where every man is free
to follow the dictates Of his con-
science and worship God as he
.pleases, men should raise the cry
of church against church. To do
that is to strike at the very spirit
and heart Of America. We, are Ia
God-fearing people We agree to
differ about methods of worship,
but we are united in believing in
Divine Providence and in worship
ing the God of nations. We are
the champions, of religious right
here and everywhere that it may
be our privilege to give it our
countenance and support. The
government is conscious of the
obligation and the nation is con-
scious of the obligation. Let no
man create divisions where there
are none
Every American citizen whose
opinion is worth considering will
agree with the President that the
people Of this country, no matter
how much they may differ from
one anotherson the question of re-
Iligion, should do nothing to arouse

RABBI PROTESTS
DIR. WISE OF NEW YORK SAYS RE.
LIGIoUs ISSUE IN POLITICS IS
NOT RAISED IN SINCERITY.

There is food for thought in the fol-
lowing paragraphs, taken from the
New York Suns account of recent
address delivered by DR.. Stephen S.
Wise at the Free Synagogue in Car
negie Hail., New York:
Most people think the religious is
sue in political campaigns is not i'm
portant, because it comes up a few
days before election and is not heard
of afterward. If it is important dur
ing campaign, it must be important
afterward, and ought certainly to be
remembered and threshed out.
1.-THE religious issue in New York
political campaigns is not raised in
sincerity. The Guardians of Liberty
whoever they are, stated during the
last campaign that it is dangerous to
public welfare to have Roman Cath
Ole governor. They gave no reason.
Il say that the leadership in Prot
estant churches in America must
deny this issue, disayow it, or honest
~ admit it. Above all, they should
not keep silent and admit their cow
ardice; say to you that, Il you think
it is dangerous to have a Roman
Catholic in public Office, it is your
business to say so and give your rea-
sons. If you can not give reasons
and reasons exist, then you must be
ashamed Of them

health work through anti-tubercu-
losis campaigns in all parts of the
state.
There is no doubt that tubercu-
losis is one of the most dreadful
scourges of our day. 1t causes
more deaths annually than any
other disease. Every effort should
be made to aid those who are af-
fiicted with this great white
plague and to prevent it's spread.
For this, funds are necessary to
carry on the campaign.
DIR. George w. Beach, Superin-
tendent of the State Sanitorium in
Cass County, says that the equip
ment necessary for every COM
mnnity for an extensive fight
against tuberculosis includes the
reporting OF all active and
suspicious eases to health off
GERS and visiting nurses to super
wise the care of home cases and
their families, and to do educa-
tional work and cooperate with
existing health agencies. There
should be at least one nurse to
every 5000 population, rural and
urban. There should be free ia
cilities for diagnosis; there should
be safe guarded food supply and
sanitary homes; one fresh air
school and preyentorium for sus-
ceptible children to every 10000
population and most important
there should be active county and
municipal public health commit
tees. =
Every seal bought is a bullet in
the fight against tuberculosis. It
helps to protect the Individual,
the family and the community
from the ravages Of a disease
which carries off one out of every
four persons in America who die
between the ages of fifteen and
fifty. The buying of Red Cross
seals is, therefore, more than an
obligation; it is an opportunity
given to each one to participate in
a good work by adding a mite to
the fund which supplies the means
of combating the ravages of dis
ease which modern science tells us
is preventable and conquerable.
We hope that each one will do his
or her share to aid the state or
ganization in it's campaign against
tuberculosis.

The adoption Of the "Gary
Plan" in any community does not
imply that parochial schools will
go out Of existence. They will
always be necessary, because they
alone give the religious training
which the Church regards as
essential. They alone enthrone
God in the school room and make
the atmosphere in which the chill
dren are educated religious. The
Gary Plan" does not restore
God to the classroom Of the pub
lie school whence the teaching Of
religion is excluded by the provi-
sions Of the Constitution.

MEDICAL PROFESSION AND ALco
HoL.

"The medical profession has too
long delayed in taking a stand on the
question of alcohol and the sale of
Intoxicating beverages" said DR.. J. r.
Rogers, president of the Minnesota
State Medical association at its meet
ing in Rochester, MINI. 1T is live
issue of the day and one which will
not and should not down. The time
is now ripe for this body to face the
issue squarely, not from a political or
economic standpoint, but purely as q
medical and prophylactic measure.
"AlcohoPs baleful effects are more
widespread and far-reaching than that
of all other poisonous drugs respon-
sible directly or indirectly for poverty
and misery. 1t becomes of paramount
importance to the medical profession
to use it's influence in the vigorous
campaign of enlightenment of the pub
lie from a scientific standpoint.
IF further argument were needed
one has only to point to our insane
asylums, almshouses, hospitals, iHlsti-
tutions for detectives and our slums.
| would suggest, therefore, as means
of accomplishing more widespread
dissemination of scientific knowledge
of the effects of the use and abuse of
alcohol that each component society
of this organization set aside one
meeting to be devoted to symposium,
dealing with all phases of this sub
ject.
In my opinion we are justified in
advocating national control If not ma
tional prohibition of the sale and man
ufacture Of intoxicating beverages.
Should we not, at this time, put
ourselves on record as united profess
sion against the continued sale and
manufacture Of alcoholic intoxicants %

THE GARY PLAN.

The "Gary Plan" is the name
given to a new system Of educa-
ton devised by Mr.. William Writ
of Gary, Ind, and first put into
operation in that city. 1t is in
tended primarily to relieve the
congested conditions that obtain
in many public schools by so ar
ranging the curriculum as to al
low different groups Of pupils to
leave the class room at certain
periods each day for recreational
and other purposes, while others
take their places and are instruct
ed by the teacher. In this way,
it attempts to provide an educa-
ton for the greatest number of
children at the least expense for
teachers and equipment. The
periods during which the children
are excused from actual class
work can be utilized for the pur-
pose of imparting religious in
struction to them if their parents
SO desire. This religious instruc-
ton is to be given by teachers
employed by the different church
es to which the children belong.
The 'EGary Plan has been
enormously looked upon as a de-
vice for the introduction Of re-
ligion into the public schools.
Nothing is farther from the truth
than this. On this point Mr.. Writ
himself says: "No child is COM
PEELED to 60 to this religious in
struction. Those Of denomina-
tons which do not cooperate will
use the period for play, or spend
it in gymnasium or library. Re
ligiOus instruction is not an as
serted feature of the Gary Plan. !"
1T is evident, therefore, that
religious instruction is only Incl
dental to the main purpose of the
Gary Plan" No provision is
made for it by the public school,
either directly or Indirectly, no
public money is appropriated to
pay the teachers who impart this
religious instruction to the public
school pupils, and it must not be
given in public school. All that
the plan permits is that any re-
igious denomination which de-
sires to do so, can make arrange
ments for the teaching of religion
to pupils who desire it during the
periods they are excused from at
tendance at the public school.
Each denomination pays its own
teachers or makes whatever pro-
vision is necessary for this pur-
pose.
Under the "Gary Plan, " there
fore, religion is not introduced
into the public school and the
system gives no advantage to the
Catholic Church over any other
denomination. It provides no
substitute for the parochial
school. Wherever Catholics take
advantage of it, it enables the
Church to reach class of chill
dren who, for one reason or
another, do not attend the paro-
ehial schools and who would
otherwise receive no religious
training outside the ordinary
Sunday school. The plan has
been put into operation in twelve
public schools in New York State
and Father Caffuzzi is holding
classes in religious instruction for
his Italian children during the
periods which may be utilized for
that purpose.

Too many people cherish the
false notion that non-sectarianism
is synonymous with Professionalism.
Witness the assertion so frequent
ly heard that the public schools
are Protestant, whereas they be-
long equally to all citizens, no
matter what their religious belief
may be, and are supported by
taxes contributed by Catholics as
well as by their fellow citizens be-
longing to other churches or to
no church at all.
