as many more to follow later.

GIVES RULES FOR MARRIED
PEOPLE.

Far too many persons are seeking
the road to happiness through the d.
vorce COURTS" Common Pleas Judge
Charles J. Estep, of Cleveland, Ohio,
gave this opinion last week, when he
found that since Sept. 1 he has tried
more than 425 divorce cases. Estep
offered the following rules to help
married persons to keep away from
the courts:
1. Husband, kiss your wife good
bye in the morning and say chow do
you do?" at night.
2. Wife, don't interrupt your
husband while he is reading the pa
per or enjoying some hobby.
8. Husband and wife, teach your
eyes to see fewer faults and more
virtues.
4. Husband, don't tell your wife
you are going to the lodge when you!
expect to play poker.
S. Wife, don't nag your husband.
6. Finally, prospective husbands
and wives, don't get married until
you have known each other year.

ENGLISH BISHOP SAYS SPAIN
FAVORS GERMANY.

The Bishop of Southwark has come
prominently before the public eye
these past few days on account of a
letter he has written to the Times;
regarding the English attitude towards,
Spain and her attitude towards the
allies. Only a few weeks ago the
Bishop returned from five weeks
visit to Spain during which he worked
for the cause of the allies. He says
frankly that he has found the Span
iards on the side of the Germans for
several reasons.
First, old wounds caused by Malta,
Gibraltar and the Morocco protecto-
rate of the French rankle. Secondly,
the Spaniards have heard lot about
the power of German Catholics, and
all they see of French Catholicity is
the exiled religious, who have had to
seek shelter with them over the from
tier. Thirdly, Spain has always the
fear of revolution before her, and, the
Carlists being strong partisans, she
has to keep the balance.
Bishop Amigo was received by the
king and queen and all the best known
Spaniards during his visit. He talked
with the highest ecclesiastics and Wis
tied all the great religious houses. He
therefore warns his fellow-countrymen
to be less ready to sheer at Spain
and to be more ready to cultivate her
friendship.

while social Justice" is most excel
lent and necessary thing, yet it never
will of itself be able to cure all our
social ills, or bring about complete
social reform. The world may abound
with justice, yet some will be found
starving and nakei-outcasts from a.
just humanity. For these and such as.
these, your justice must be tempered
with mercy; your social Justice must
be broad enough to include and be en-
ergized in charity.
You must be just; and then when
your justice has reached it's plenitude
when justice abounds-let charity
more abound, supplementing, qualify
ing and completing that justice. God
is just. The Goldman is merciful; and
if we would be Godlike, we must be
just and merciful. In the words of,
Holy Writ, lowe no man anything
that is Justice; "but love one another"
that is charity.-Archbishop Glen

PRIESTS IN ENGLAND ASKED TO
ENTER ARMY AS SOLDIERS.

London.-Although both Cardinal
Bourne and the Bishop of Southwark
have been in communication with Lord
Derby no explanation has yet been
given directly to the Catholic authori-
ties regarding the circularization Of
priests for enlistment. To the Protes-
tant Archbishops, however, has been
vouchsafed the news that the papers
were sent to the curates because they
were an unstarred class, and that
Lord Derby does not necessarily ex-
pect the Anglican clergy to join the
army, because he wishes them to obey
their superiors and thinks they can be:
doing good work for the war as
chaplains and ministering at home,
as in the ranks. Presumably this also
applies to priests, but Catholics are.
angry that after what may have been
an error no apology has been made.
The antiCatholic bigots have more
causes Of complaint this week. The
Pope is on such friendly terms with.
King George that he has sent mes
sage Of sympathy to that sovereign,
through his Cardinal Secretary Of
State, in regard to his majesty's un-
fortunate accident, which some pious
Protestants actually assert was a.
judgment on their sovereign for ap-
proving the return of Sir Henry How.
ard as English ambassador to the
Vatican. Worse still, a conversion Of
whole family of the Anglican clergy
has taken place. The parties are

ter times and expecting their reward

there not some priests in the large
parishes in the Eastern states who

well-to-do Catholics and well-estab-

missionary priests salary, and thus
enable the people in poor missions to
hear Mass on Sundays at least once

out-of-the-way missions, which are sell

WHAT THE NoN-cATHOLlc MUST
PROMISE.

When q nom Catholic man or woman
wishes to marry member of the
Catholic Church, according to the
Catholic rite, there are certain prom
Uses which the non Catholic party
must make before the priest is al.
lowed to perform the ceremony. The
Church asks the non Catholic party
to subscribe to formula stating that
the marriage tie is indissordble, ex
cept by death; that the Catholic party
shall enjoy the free exercise of his
or her religion; that all children be
baptized and brought up in the Faith !;
and that no other marriage ceremony
than that before the Catholic priest
shall take place. Where the law OF
the land requires another marriage
ceremony than that before the priest,
the Church conforms to the law. These
promises" as they are called, are
signed in the presence of priest and
witnesses, and are kept on file in the
church in which the marriage takes
place.
The Church holds tina; matrimony
is more than civil contract, more
than a mere physical union, and for
that reason looks forward to the fu-
ture of the family. Centuries of ex-
perience have taught that in the ma
jority of mixed marriages." after the
first few years of married life, dis
sensions arise over the practice of
religion and the education of children.
If the Catholic Church would know
ingly allow children to be brought up
outside of her fold, how could she
justify the claim that she is the true
spouse of Christ?
The n-Catholic party to a mixed
marriage, when asked to promise that
the Catholic party shall be allowed the
free exercise of his or her religion, is
only requested to permit the same lib
erty Of conscience that the non-Cath-
Ollie enjoys. Why, indeed, should such
a promise be necessary, since free.
dom Of conscience 10 the inalienable
right Of every man and woman? Is
it not strange that so many non-Cath-
Olics imagine that "the tie that binds"
gives them control over the conscience
of the Catholic party? It is this very
thing that has forced the Church to
exact promises from the mont Catholic
party to Catholic marriage. Ger
tainly the Church is more liberal than
the non-C Catholic, for she does not ques-
tion nor interfere with his or her lib.
erty Of conscience. In exacting GER
tain promises from the non-Catholic,
the Church is only asking that he or
she maintain the condition of mind
that exists at the time of the mar.
riage. These promises are required of
the mont Catholic before marriage be.
cause the Church is anxious that he
or she should thoroughly understand
her position in advance. She can do
nothing less to safeguard her chill
dren.-The Rev. w. d. O'Brien, In

UNUSUAL CASE OF SUICIDE
Young Farmer Allows Horses to
Drag Him to Death.

Aberdeen, Nov. 3.-The most I'M
usual case of suicide on record in
this part Of the state is reported from
Ipswich. where the coroner's jury to
day investigated the death of Rem
hold Reede, d young farmer residing
near Bowdle. The young man APP
p~arently went to a field in the morn
ing to do some fall blowing. Finish
ing there about 1890 O'Clock, he
drove a short distance southeast,
where he unhitched one of the horses,
fastened three feet of rope around
his neck and to a singletree, whipped
up the horse and was dragged a
mile and a half to his death. The
body was found in the barn at IL
O'Clock by Philip Leidholt, owner of
the farm.
1t was on this same farm last year
that Chris Leidholt shot and killed
his brother-in-law, George Ruff, in a
drunken quarrel. He is serving four
years in the state p~enitentiary.
