AGGRESSIVE cATHoLIcITY.

No society, religious, social or po-
litical. ever achieved real success
without an aggressive membership.
BY aggressiveness we do not mean a
truculent, domineering attitude, but
rather a positive stand upon our prin-
ciples; an eager desire that our teach
ings and ideals should be understood
and appreciated by others.
AS Catholics, we are members of a
society, whose aim is to show the
world the glory and salvation of the
teachings of it's Divine Founder, Jesus
Christ This is our mission, this is
the sublime work that has been en-
trusted to every disciple. Have we
been aggressive in our apostleship?
If every member of the Church had
this spirit of aggressiveness founded
upon heart-deep loyalty to the inter
ests of the Master, the body of the
Church would be much larger than it
is today. The missionary power of the
Church is greatly weakened by the
bers.
Many are under the impression that
the deeply religious Catholic is mock.
meek, nonresident, harmless creature
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Truly religious men and won.

Thrilling Story of Catholic Sol
diers in the Philippines.

In the course of an address to the
Young Mems Institute battalion, Gen.
eral Prescott told the following inter
esting Renaissance from his partici-
patton in the Philippine campaign:
''Since 1901 there has been with me
the memory of scene on the Island
of Samar which is peculiarly interest
ing to you members of the Young
Mems Institute. We had stormed and
taken the provincial capital of Cat
balogan. Thirty or forty cannons
were captured, and the insurrectos
driven into the mountains. The next
day company was ordered to pursue
them up the river, wading through the
water to the shoulders, thence along
the precipice of rock, hanging on by
the roots of jungle-trees until the word
came back from the point that the
enemy was found. The men fixed bay
onets, the officers cooked their revol-
vers, and the troops rushed pell nell
into clearing expecting to charge a
foe armed with Mauser rifles.
Instead, found myself in the pres
ence of pitiful spectacle. A long line
of women and children with few old
men were on their knees, their hands
uplifted in an agony of supplication
and begging for mercy. There were
only two or three of us who spoke
Spanish, and it seemed as though none
of the frightened people spoke other
than their native tongue. | remem-
Der distinctly one beautiful young wo-
man kneeling right before me, her
hair streaming down her shoulders, al
most insane in her paroxysm of fright.
Eve endeavored to calm the tumult
We assured them in Spanish that
American soldiers did not harm women
and children. And we demanded, our
selves considerably excited, the where
abouts of the insurrectos. l endeav-
ored to relieve their fear, but without
avail; and it seemed as though the
girls would go crazy.
Suddenly, and as though by some
singular magic, the kneeling throng
grew quiet and looked from one to the
other as they passed along some word
in the Visaysan tongue. Taken by sur
prise, | looked from one side to the
other. One of our men in answer to
my question said:
The Catholic soldiers have opened
their shirt fronts and shown their
scapulars'
"The people arose from their knees
and venerable old man was brought
to me who spoke perfect Spanish. l
asked him what his people were do
ing running into the mountains in such
an unnecessary way. He replied that
they had been told that the Americans
would butcher them. | said, well,
you see we did not He answered,
Yes; and it seems as though some of
the Americans, are good Catholics
"The result was, that all of the
women and children and the old men
returned to their home city. The serv-
ices in the church we're resumed, and
never have been interrupted from that
day to this. | do not believe that
anyone will object that in every
American army of the future, as in
the past, there will be soldiers owing
special duty of kindness and con-
sideration to the weak and helpless,
and carrying upon their bodies the
sacred pledge of that duty"

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A WISE SAYING.

Henry, rich boy from the town,
took walk one day in spring to a
neighboring farmhouse, bought a
bottle of milk for himself, sat down
on the grass under shady tree,
broke his bread into the milk, and
made most hearty meal.
Charley, poor boy from the next
village, who looked very thin and
pale from sheer want and misery, was
standing not far off, looking sadly on;
he would gladly have had share OF
it, but he was too modest to ask for
any.
1t occurred, too, to the rich Henry
that he ought to leave little for the
poor boy; but he turned deaf ear to
the good suggestion of his heart, and
greedily ate on. When he had swal
lowed the whole of the milk, he OBJ
served a rhyme at the bottom of the
bottle. He blushed as he read it, got
the bottle filled again, and made
them add to- it large piece of bread
He then kindly called poor Charley
to him; broke the bread into the basir
for him with his own hands anG
cordially wished him good appetite
'The saying" observed Henry
(which is in this bottle, ought to be
inscribed in all the vessels of the
rich"
The saying read thus: "He who i:
deaf to others woe, deserves no
happiness to know"

This same authority also says that

Office, complaining of fatigue, often &C

tired after dancing several hours, prov.

be, a change of scene or thought gives
relief, by bringing different muscles

BRITISH CENSOR AGAIN
SUBJECTED TO ATTACK
Treatment of United States De-
clared the Greatest Blunder
Of All.

LONDON, October 1.-THE censor
ship again is strongly criticised in the
morning papers. The fioodgates Of dis
cussion were reopened by the speech OF
Lord Selborne, president of the board
Of agriculture, delivered Saturday at
York. describing as 'mischievous and
stupid the action of the censors in
keeping back bad news. and especially
the excelsior from a recent newspaper
dispatch Of British correspondents
tribute to the bravery of German
troops
This particular excelsior has been the
subject Of adverse criticism on all
sides for the past few days, and the
press welcomes Lord Selborne's assist
ance in its assault upon the censorship.
Abuse Of Censorship.
Referring to the -selborne speech. the
Daily Mail says editorially: "As now
managed the censor's object seems to
be not to keep news from the enemy.
but from the people Of Great Britain
and the colonies"
The Daily Graphic declares the coun-
try has right to ask whether any one
will, be dismissed for the disgraceful
proceeding of excising a reference to
German bravery.
Treatment Of United States.
The Daily Express asserts the great
est blunder of the censorship has been
its treatment of the United States. Lon
don correspondents of American news
papers have been prevented continually
from sending the British news to their
readers. while Germany has poured
ceaseless flood of lies into America,
which has misled American opinion. 1t
is high time the leaven of common
sense should be adopted by the home
secretary, who Is responsible for the
conduct of the censorship department"

A wholesale migration of Porto Ri
cans as a means of relieving industrial
depression in the island has been sug-
gested to President Wilson by Gov. Ar
thur Yager Of Porto Rico. 1t is be-
lfeved to be the first instance in the
history of the country when an official
OF the government has advocated emf
grafton from the United States or one
OF its dependencies to a foreign land.
Despite its prosperity. "the paradise
of Porto Rico is overpopulated," as
Gov. Yager says. The island has $50
Inhabitants to the square mile, and
this is considered a burden too heavy
for any country to support. In the
opinion Of Gov. Yager. at least 100000
residents should be asked to migrate,
Cuba and Santp Domingo being special
ly mentioned las desirable places for
emigrants.

Wages Entirely Too Low.

Since American occupation of Porto
Rico natives have improved their
standard of living to such an extent
that the wages for work on sugar
plantations and in other fields. which
amount to only so or 70 cents day.
are entirely too low to meet their
needs.
Gov. Yager points out the unfairness
of expecting the Porto Ricans to live
happily on such wages and contends
that the government should help them
to better things. He states that in
Cuba and Santo Domingo there ts
great demand for Porto Rican labor
and asserts that emigration may well
be encouraged, for the benefit of the
emigrants, Of those who remain behind
and Of the dependency as a whole.
Prior to American occupation Porto
Rica's sugar production amounted to
$4,000 tons annually. but now has been
developed to 375,000 tons a year, while
the island has prospered. But the
prosperity is not sufficient to provide
for the great and growing population.
and Gov. Yager believes emigration to
be the only solution Of the problem.
