c CHINESE CATHOLICS

The latest Catholic census for
China shows total Catholic popuIa-
ton of 1,509,944, Last year this
figure was stated as 1,451,258. The
increase is, therefore, 1866. In re
atty it is even more because some
of the Vicariates Apostolic there kept
the figures of 1912 or even those of
1911 and 1910. The increase would
be something like 50 per 1000. The
Chinese Catholics have 81 bishops,
1922 European and TAG Chinese
priests to minister to them. The
catechumens are now registered in 10
missions. The total of the remaining
Vicariates is 438,098.

Are sins omitted in confession
through shame or forgetfuIness for
given and is it wrong to receive Holy
Communion after such confession?
Every Catholic knows that sins omit
ted through shame are not for
given. The shame which naturally ae-
companies the telling of ones sins in
confession is part of the penalty which
the sinner pays for his transgressions.
If sins are omitted through forget
fulness it is different matter These
sins can always be told in a suisse
quent confession. If they are mortal
sins they must be confessed later in

animation ipto its ear SO is it would
have become a part of it, it would
have been the Joy of my soul. But
could not do it, and there is only
one way by which it can be done
and that way is to have the child at
school every possible day.
1t is a regrettable fact, but never
the less true, if the rural boy or
girl does not get his education while
little and real young he will not get
it at all. | believe it has been said
that the American boy and girl
haven't enough ambition. At any
rate, about the time they get where
they could accomplish things they
quit. Therefore, if they do secure
a common school education by the
time they are fifteen or sixteen, only
few will ever go on longer. Hence,
the imperative necessity of every
child's presence every day of the
term.
School begins Sept. 10. We trust
to have as large an opening as pos
sible We wonder how many pa
irons who have enough interest to
come out at the opening. We have
a little agreement that will do us all
good to go into to present to you.
Sure you will be very, very busy,
but notice those are about the only
folks who ever have time to do and
accomplish very much. The teach
ers trust and hope that the school
will be honored by your presence
the first morning.
The pupils will please bring their
dinners the first day this year as
there will be school all day.

WHAT STUDY OF
SOCIALISM INSPIRES
(By Prof. r. T. Ely.)

The ethical ideals of Socialism have
attracted to it generous souls and have
enlisted in its ranks its best adher-
ents. 1t is these ethical ideals which
have inspired the rank and file of the
Socialist army with fiery zeal and re-
ligious devotion. II may be said, that
nothing in the present day is so likely
to awaken the conscience Of the ordi-
nary man or woman, or to increase the
sense of responsibility, as thorough
course in Socialism. The study of So
cialism has proved the turning point in
thousands of lives, and converted self
seeking men and women into selfsacri-
ficing toiIers for the masses. The i'm
partial observer can scarcely claim
that the Bible produces so marked an
effect upon the daily habitual life OF
the average man and woman, who
profess to guide their conduct by it.
as Socialism does upon its adherents
The strength of Socialism in this re
spect is more like that of early Chris
tianity as described in the New Tesla
ment-Professor Richard T. Ely

and Social Reform. p. 145.

long as the foundation of society re-
mains capitalistic, so long as there re-
mains a single stronghold of the CAPT

some people are able to own or con-

all people depend, just so long will we
have the myriad horrors of the CAPT

poverty and the idiocies and brutal

capitalist state and the shamelessness
of capitalist religion; the constant
battling of the hopes Of reformers and
the reactions of spent revolutions and

AN AMERICAN MONARCH
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

Ebert H. Gary, the head Of the grea'
United States Steel Corporation, en-
tered upon his 10th year on October 8
having been born on that day Of the
month in 1916. Mr.. Gary began life
as farmers son in DuPage county
Illinois. Today, as described by a
recent writer, he Is "the obedieni
Caesar of an empire which owns more
land than the state of Massachusetts
New Hampshire and Vermont; sup
ports more people than there are in
Nebraska; employs more men than
fought at Gettysburg; sails larger
navy than that Of Italy; makes more
steel than Germany, and represents
more capital than all the banks in the
city Of New York"
Judge Gary. it will be remembered
presided at the so-called trial of the
Chicago anarchists in 1886 and was
responsible for sending four innocent
men to the scaffold for the crime (D
of being anarchists, and fighting for a
universal eight-hour day.

WHO IS THE PATRIOT!

Ask the next patriotic citizen you
meet what patriotism is. He will
probably reply that it Is love for ones
country. Then ask him If you must
love everything in the country because
you happened to be born here. Should
you love the brothels and saloons and
sweat-shops? Should you love the I'M
holy institution of child labor; the
graft; the manufacture OF adulterated
food; the doped milk that poisons
babies; the reeking tenements; the
vice and corruption and the million
evils caused by poverty? Socialists
hate these things so heartily that they
are doing all they can to- destroy them,
and for this reason every old stiff who
loves his party better than his coun-
try is eternally yawping about the
Socialists lack of patriotism. Who is
the patriot? 1t is the citizen who
strives continually to make his coun-
try better, who would destroy any part
of his country that is harmful to his
countrymen, and who believes that his
country is for his fellow man rather
than that his fellow man is for his
country.

GETS RESULTS
by A. NJ. SlMONS.

Practically all the steps taken by
society looking to the conservation OF
human life have come only in response
to the threat of working class revolt.
A chart of the Socialist vote placed
side by side with one showing the ex-
tent to which safety devices have been
adopted, factory legislation enacted
and the sick and injured in industry
cared for would show that the two
run side by side the world over.
Germany, with its 100000 Socialist
votes, gives greater care to the work
ers than any other country In the
world, and It has given that care only
since the Socialist vote began to be
counted by millions.
America, with its comparatively
small Socialist vote, gives less atteh-
ton to those things than any OF the
industrial nations. The sudden en-
thusiasm for laws protecting human
life has sprung up in the United States
only in response to and moved forward
side by side with the rapid growth OF
the Socialist vote and Socialist senti'
ment
Those who enlist for the purpose OF
mass murder and march away TO the
strains of music are given pension
when they return to compensate for
any injuries received. No year OF the
civil war. the bloodiest in history, ever
furnished such list of killed and
wounded as could be made up from
any years record of the casualties on
the battlefield of American industry.
Yet il was not until the Socialist move
ment of Germany, France and Eng
land threatened to capture the powers
of government that those who control
| the governments of the world ever
made a suggestion of extending, even
! in the smallest degree, the same sort
of compensation to those who pour out
1 their lives that the world may be fed
and clothed and housed that is now
given to those who ply the traue
of war.
In this country no voice was heard
in the American congress in behalf of
pensions for the veterans OF industry
until Victor l.. Berger, the first So
cialist congressman, introduced such
a bill. The sound of his voice in the
halls of the American congress was
to the politicians of the ruling class
in America the warning of the i'm
pending revolt of labor in this country
They were quick to heed that voice
and now are following the examples
of their German, French and English
contemporaries in the profusion Of
their promises Of legislation for the
relief of the killed and wounded IL
the battle for bread.

Of the few to despoil the many, so
long as the private ownership of the
tools and sources of the common labor
continues; 80 long as the toll of hui
manity is but for the profit of the
capitalist instead of for humanity's
common good and beauty; so long as
life remains what it now Is for the
bulk of mankind-a bitter and uncer-
tain struggle for existence, an ex-
hausting and deadening game of
chance, pitched battle from child
hood to the grave for the chance to
earn or keep ones bread. So long as
the sources and means of the peoples
bread are privately owned. just that
long will the minds and bodies of the
people be owned. There can never be
such thing as self-ownership of the
individual, with the freedom and fell
lowship that inhere in self-ownership,
until there Is common ownership of
the worlds bread supply. 1t is upon
this socialized economic ownership
that the spiritual blossoming of man
depends.
1t ought to be a sufficient indict-
ment of our present kind of civiliza-
ton that it can stand only upon the
degradation of labor, the servility of
the intellect, the prostitution of the
state. and the hypocrisy of religion.
Our present kind of civilization stands |
only because the people upon whose !
backs it builds are not yet wise and |
strong enough to get up. The mo-
ment this blind and bound giant of
labor begins to feel his rightful power,
the moment he begins to see even
dimly for himself, the moment he be-
gins to shake from himself the cen
turtles of enslavement and superstition
and exploitation, that moment will
man come to himself, and shed our
as an evil and monstrous
disease.

FUTILITY OF REFORM

1t Is all one to the capitalist whether
you have republican or democratic
party, whether you have Protestant
or a Catholic faith. whether you are
Jew or Mohammedan or a Buddhist
or an Agnostic, whether you have a
republican or a monarchial form of
government, whether you have public
or private schools, whether you have
educated or illiterate ignorance, he
will use them all for his own power
and increase. Just so long as you
have capitalist class employing a
working class. just that long will CAPT
talism reap not only the fruits of the
worlds labor, but the fruits of it's
ideals and aspirations as we'll, and
shape its arts and literatures, and give
voice to its pulpits and universities.
You may have any kind and number
OF reforms you please, any kind and
number of revolutions or revivals you
please, any kind and number of
new ways of doing good you please, It
will not matter to capitalism, SO long
as 1t remains at the root of things; the
result of all your plans and pains will
be gathered into the capitalist
granary. There is nothing growing
out of the human soil, nothing grow
ing out of the human soul, nothing
springing from the human heart, moth
ing coming from the human hand, not
a prayer of sorrow or hope, not joy
that leaps in the blood, not noble
of an uplifted martyrdom,
not a communion of mighty lovers, not
a tear of the sweatshop mother over
the coffin of her child, that will not
add to the capitalist grist, so long as
labor is so directed as to drive the
capitalist mill. There is no way of J
