POLICY OR NECESSITY.


Sir Henry Howard has been sent on
diplomatic message from England.
The English press announces that he
was charged with special: messages
to the Holy Father. The attitude to-
ward the appointment is expressed in
the belief on the part of the allied
nations that the appointment was an
attempt on the part of Great Britain
to unite herself more closely with the
Catholic population Of the empire.
This explanation comes from London
paper, which is taken to mean that
the appointment was a diplomatic
movement brought about by necessity
The influence of England over Italy
is plainly shown in the attitude of
Italy toward the triple alliance. BY
it Italy was bound to Germany and
Austria. This analysis need not ap.
pear strange in view of the fact that
in our own country, even after liberty
at the cost of war, and independence
gained through the shedding of blood
and subsequent conflicts, when their
action threatened our existence as
nation, Tory organizations which have
more or less influence among certain
classes of citizens, flourish in this
country. Making virtue out Of neces-
sity is a more suitable explanation
than any fancied interest in the Catho-
lies or the Vatican. 1t is matter OF
expediency. What is being done for
the Catholics Of England is widely
heralded through the press, but the
Catholics of Ireland must submit to
the imposition of new Viceroy with
no other qualification than that of
being an expert polo player. The new
Viceroy is Lord Wimborne, whose fam
lily name is notorious for having in
troduced the "holy donkey" scandal
to England. This fiction relates the
worship of donkey by Italians in a
certain district of Italy. So Sir Hen
ry Howard goes to the Vatican and
the polo player goes to Ireland. All
this Is done in the interest of Ca.
tholicity. Is the deception interest or
insult? Facts are stubborn things.

THE HOLY MASS,

At the hour of death the Masses YOU
have heard will be your greatest con-
ISOLATION. Every Mass will 20 with
you to judgment and plead for par
don. At every Mass you can diminish
the temporal punishment due to your
sins, more or less, according to your
fervor.
Assisting devoutly at Mass you rem
der to the Sacred Humanity of our
Lord the greatest homage. He supplies
for many of our negligences and omis-
sions. He forgives you all your un.
known sins which you never con.
fessed.
You afford the souls in purgatory
the greatest possible relief.
One Mass heard during your life
will be of more benefit to you than
many heard for you after your death.
You are preserved from many dan.
gers and misfortunes which would
otherwise have befallen you. You
shorten your purgatory- by every
Mass.
Every Mass wins for you higher
degree Of glory in heaven.
You receive the priests blessing,
which our Lord ratifies in heaven.
You kneel amidst multitude of
holy angels, who are present at the
adorable sacrifice, with reverential
awe.
You are blessed in your temporal
goods and affairs. When we hear
Mass and offer the Holy Sacrifice in
honor Of any particular saint or angel,
thanking God for favors He bestowed
on him, we afford him great degree
of honor, Joy and happiness. and draw
his special love and protection on us.
Every time we assist at Mass we
should, besides our other intentions,
offer it in honor of the saint of the
day.

WAR HAS AFFECTED "PETER's
PENCE"

Bishop Hayes of New York speak
ing for Cardinal Farley recently gave
out the following interview:
$50 regularly and persistently are
these false reports published" says
the Bishop, "that it looks as If some
unfriendly agency, If not an avowed
enemy, Is at work for the purpose of
interfering maliciously with the gen.
erosity of our Catholic people towards
the Peters Pence.
"The Cardinal desires it to be clear
ly understood that he has information
directly from most reliable source
that the Holy See is facing no small
financial embarrassment. Practically
speaking, the Peters Pence has ceased
since the beginning of the European
war; and the prospects are not very
encouraging that this chief source of
income can be counted on for many a
long day, If at all for several years.
Whatever may be the other re-
sources of the Holy See, they natural
ly have suffered like other revenues Of
nations and Of individuals. If here in
the United States the Federal Govern
ment, the State, the city, as we'll as
the exchanges, the banking and the
commercial houses, are feeling the
pressure and weight of the money
stringency and depression, it is OBJ
vious that the Holy See, which de-
Ponds so largely on the voluntary Of
ferings of the faithful, must suffer
even more intensely"

The Burnett immigration bill which
caused such a furore in Congress a
year ago, has been passed by the SEN
ate. 1t still contains the "literacy
test" as test for American citizen
ship. Whether President Wilson will
veto the bill or not is a mooted ques-
ton. AS it stands now the lettered
rogue may enter the country without
question, but the poor and honest are
disbarred. The bill contains this VIC
ious clause aimed at a class Of immi-
grants which have heretofore been
among the most desirable citizens of
the country. What folly that the al
phabet should be the determining fac
tor in American citizenship.

But what makes the Church of st.

The Menace and it is rightly named.
1t is a menace to religious liberty and
all of our free institutions. 1t has no
right to exist and should be suppressed
like other venomous reptiles of it's
kind. The editor should be arrested,
prosecuted and punished, and II this
doesn't cure him he should be boxed
up and shipped to Russia by citizens
who appreciate free country like the
United States. Liberty is one thing
and the abuse of liberty is another.
1t was a wise man who first said, "A
mans liberty ceases at the threshold
Of another's rights and we are pre-
sumed to have the right to worship
God as we please in this country, al
though the editor of the Menace
doesn't seem to realize it."
With reference to passing law re-
cognizing insults offered to religion
as crime, "The American Israelite"
takes advance ground and suggests
the passage of law similar to the
German law, covering the publication
Of vile and disreputable papers. The
American Israelite" speaks very
forceable from the point in the follow
ing article taken from the Jewish
journal quoted above.

ligion. This dragging of religion into
politics cannot be too severly con-
demned. 1t is un-American, undemo-
cratic, narrow bigoted and in direct
opposition to all the great principles
upon which our Republic is founded.
Individuals or organizations, resort
ing to such tactics should be singled
out and held up to public reprobation
as dangerous enemies of the Republic.
whether their venom is directed
against Protestant or Catholic, Jew or
Gentle. 1t is most fortunate, al
though quite natural that this detest-
able campaign should not be carried
on publicly. This reprehensible work
is done secretly and mainly by books,
pamphlets and articles which are sent
through the United States mail.
Thinking men have always been in
clined to condemn the laws which ex-
list in European countries and espe-
cially in Germany, which recognize
insult to religion as a crime punish
able by fine and imprisonment. In
view of recent developments in the
United States many of them are not
quite sure that the law is not wise
one and it is quite possible that the
enactment of a similar one may be
considered at not very distant date
in Washington, If the pernicious &C
tivities of those who drag religion
