The chasuble represents the
purple garment with which Christ
was clothed as mock king; upon
the back of the chasuble is the
cross to symbolic that which He
carried on His sacred shoulders.
In these vestments the Church
makes use of five colors, the white
on the feasts of our Lord, of our
Blessed Virgin, of the angels and
of the saints who were not mar
tyrs; the red on the feasts of
Pentecost, of the Invention and
EXaltation of the Cross, and of
the apostles and martyrs; the
green on the greater number of
the Sundays; the purple in the
penitential times of Advent and
Lent, and upon vigils and Ember
days; and the black upon Good

THE CATHOLIC SOCIALIST?

"A lew NdlllOllCS MAINTAIN THAT
Socialism is economic and polit-
ical and does not interfere with
religion. An accredited official
mouthpiece of the Socialist party
i'll the United States, the Buffalo
Socialist, speaks of the Catholic
Church in these afectionate
terms:
'The old harlot of the seven
hills across the water is nightly
perturbed over the oncoming
strides of the young Socialist
giant with its seven-leagued boots
and has been ever since that inn
mortal and indomitable old red
Giuseppe Garibaldi, with his
strong little string stole in while
Plus TX. was counting his beads
and bound his temporal leg to
the Vatican hitching post, virtu-
ally making him a one-legged
prisoner. The present head is
simply afraid that Socialist gan
creme may deprive him of his spir-
itual leg and alnputation become
necessary"
There is not a shred of Catho-
lie pride or love for the Mother
Church in the man who will vote
the Socialist ticket. We once
heard good Catholic" defend
Socialism becauseit stands for the
rights of the laboring man. We
love the rights of the laboring
man very much but we would not
barter the honor of God to secure
them. When Judas Iscariot made
his bargain with the High Priests
he was paid in advance. The
Catholic who votes the Socialist
ticket for what he will get out of
it is taking a pronissory note
from a bunch of men who are in
league with liars and blackmail-
ers.

NON-CATHOLIC'S TRIBUTE
TO THE CHURCH.

Every intelligent man, be he
Catholic or Protestant, is ready
to admit that the Catholic Church
is the most powerfully uplifting
agency i'll the world. The slurs
and lies to which many vile sheets
resort in order to smirch her re-
ally accentuate her grandeur in
the eyes of decent men. The
Guardian thus quotes Edward F..
Bigelow, AM, Ph.D., an Episco-
palian:
Zone word about The Menace
and others of that ilk. They have
so far overslrot the mark that the
reaction is here. I know person
ally an atheist Of a legal turn of
mind who has been pretty nearly
or wholly converted to the Roman
Catholic Church by The Menace.
he told me that the strongest evil
dence he had ever heard for the
truth of the Catholic Church is to
have an editor stoop to such cow
ardice, to the use of such self
evident untruths. His argument
is that the editor has no truth
at his disposal that can injure the
Church, but to accomplish his
purpose he resorts to innuendo,
lies, libel and obscenity. No clean
minded person has any respect for

fellow and a very decent citizen.
He has long since learned that
there is no reason why a good
Catholic cannot be good citizen.
In fact, he is beginning to appre-
ciate' that the better the Catholic
the better the citizen. The con-
clusion was readily reached as
soon as he began to argue logi-
cally from we'll established prem
Uses.
The Catholic theory OF govern
ment is that the state is a Divine
institution, and Catholic is
taught from childhood that he
must obey the laws of the state
and defend his country under pain
of sin. That the Church is not OBJ
sessed with political ambition
may be gathered from the fact
that in Europe today Catholic
prelates and priests are fighting
for their country, some under the
banner of a Catholic government,
others under government that is
professedly Protestant, while
others are giving their lives for
the defense of a country whose
government is openly inhdel. In
this country Catholics proved
their allegiance beyond doubt or
criticism and to the satisfaction
of all thinking people i'll every
crisis of our national existence.
The Catholic clergy and laity
are divided among the various
political parties. That there is no
concerted action by Catholics to
control politics may be gathered
from the circulars that are issued
to influence voters against Cath
Ollie candidates for Offices. We
find on the tickets OF each of the
political parties names that have
been branded "Roman." If Cath
olics had ambition to control the
destinies of this country, they
could unite and defeat any politi-
cal party. They have the brains
and the numbers and if they were
as tricky as this handful of igno-
rant bigots would have us believe,
it is surprising that they should
divide their forces.

attend mass every Sunday, like
to doll up for the occasion, for
getting that a church is a place
to worship, instead of a house OF
fashions, and so to church late
for the purpose OF showing off
their fine toggery.
Young men OF the New Cathe-
dral Parish, St. Louis, Mo-, saw
themselves coming late to mass in
motion pictures which were a
feature on picture night" at the
New Cathedral festival.

"After they see the great

church in time for services and
then view themselves rushing in

minutes late, it may cause them
to regulate the time of their arri-
val with the commencement of
services"

VESTMENTS USED IN MASS

How often our Protestant
bretheren ask of a we'll meaning
Catholic for an explanation OF the
meaning OF the yestments used in
Mass. Invariably the answer is.
"Why, it's just the CUSTOM" Such
a lame explanation begets neither
comprehension nor sympathy in
the mind of tho Protestant. He
continues to regard the vestments
with the same spirit of entertain
ment and interest that he might
feel in the sarare of a Mexican
who happened to ride in his eleva-
tor, or the toga Of a brave dress
rcvivalist who dared to walk down
Fifth street.
Could you explain the rich SYM
bolism Of the vestments of the
Mass so as to succeed in exciting
reverence for them?
The priest in saying Mass rep
resents the person of Christ. who
is the high priest of the new land,
and the Mass itself represents His
passion.
The amicc represents the rag or
clout with which the Jews muffled
our Lords face. when at every
blow they babe Him prophecy
who it was that struck Him.

with which Christ was invested
by Herod.

LUTHER AT WORMS.

Contrary to its wont, the Sat-
urday Evening Post recently in
vaded the field of history in search
of portrait of Martin Luther.
The effort was praiseworthy, but
the quest unsuccessful. The pic
ture presented by the Post in no
way represents the Luther who,
with Melanchton, authorized Phil
ip of Hesse to have two wives.
1t bears no resemblance to the
Luther who advised this same
Philip "for the sake and good of
the Christian Church to tell a
good strong lie" The Luther who
sat for this portrait is lion
hearted Christian knight, who
flung an immortal gauge of battle
before his prosecutors at Worms {:

Brave are the words, but they
were never spoken by Luther.

in Luther's writing. The form.

The Catholic Theatre society of
New York is hard at work again
and promises to accomplish even
greater good than it did during
the last season. The purpose of
the organization is to issue a white
list of the plays and also to arouse
Catholics to a sense of the dan
ger in many popular theatre Of
ferings. 1t has declared open and
relentless war on immoral plays
and OH the theatres that produce
them.
Many of the Protestant denom-
nations have consistently frown-
ed upon the theatre and passed
severe laws against it for the
guidance of their communicates.
They made the mistake of de-
nouncing the theatre as whole
and could not hold their members
to their opposition. Such has
never been the policy of Catholic
clergymen. They know that the
theatre can be made not only
source of legitimate pleasure, but
also a great moral and intellect
ual influence.
Conditions demand discrimi-
nation between good and bad
plays. The theatres will not dis
crininate. There is hardly
playhouse in the country that does
not produce plays that are not
fit for production before Chris
tan audience. The. moral STAN
dard Of the theatre is low. Plays
that appeal to popular favor today
would not have been tolerated
during the last generation.
There is only one effectual way
to put stop to the growing in
fanny. If decent people will boy
colt such plays and the theatres
that produce them the managers
will find it an Improbable bust
ness.

POOR TEAMWORK BY THE
BIGOTS,

Every election brings the usual
rebuke to the gang of idiotic
bigots who style themselves by
various names, and the last cleo
ton was only repetition Of the
same results. From over the
country the story of their activi-
ties was flashed and from some
quarters we were gravely informed
that there was mysterious and
powerful anti-Catholic organiza-

piece OF intrigue is an attempt
on the part of the Irish Party to
get Lord Selborne to introduce
a CONSUMPTION measure for Ire
land, and give the Irish Party the
credit of having it defeated.
To fulfill this scheme, Red
tnond's lieutenants are eternally
preaching against CONSUMPTION.
They know that England has no
intention of applying CONSUMPTION
to Ireland, and that if she had
their puny mouthings would not
prevent it. With an air of as
sumed bravado, he says, Trust
the Irish Party to defeat conscrip-
tion," and at the same time any
motion he. makes for the meanest
provincial purpose is turned down
in the House of Commons by the
unanimous vote of Liberals and
Tories.
England knows we'll that the
country will not have conscrip-
ton. Easter Week taught her

slow to profit, and all Redmond's

meetings are founded on his
knowledge of British intentions.

this be true England has learned
nothing from experience; if she
had she would know that any
attempt to exploit the Pope would
only stiffen the opposition. We
hardly think the Ambassador did
anything so idiotic at this stage
of the game, particularly since he
knows that the Pope will be an
important figure in the peace ne
gotiations, and that it is matter
of the first Importance to retain
his good will. Any effort to make

which would be irritating, to say
the least, is not the way to retain
the Holy Fathers favor. Besides,
the Pope could not accede to the
Ambassadors request without
abandoning his attitude OF strict
neutrality and hence we are in
elined to believe the report of the
Ambassadors activities along this
line is canard.

EPISCOPALIANS APPROPRI
ATE ST. FRANCIS.

The good St. Francis has been
suddenly discovered by our Epis-
copalian brethren and it is anus
ing to note the love and reverence
they have developed for him. 81
To be sure, they are not to be
blamed for trying to appropriate
him as their very own. Others
also are inclined that way because
of his wonderful gcntlcncss and
his tender feeling toward all
humanity.
Unfortunately, however, Epis-
copalians may only accept the
good saint of Assist in part. for
he was Catholic, which they are
not.
1t may be presumptive on our
part, but may we suggest a few
notices from the writings of st.
| Francis for the embellishments of
the walls OF the suggested chapel
to be dedicated in his honor at the
university OF Wisconsin. In a
letter to all the faithful, St. Fran
CHS wrote:
1--WE ought. indeed, to confess
all our sins to a priest and receive
from him the body and blood of
our Lord Jesus Christ"
Or this:
1--WE ought to visit churches
frequently and to reverence the
Iclerics frequently. not only for
themselves, but on account of
their administration of the most
holy body and blood OF Our Lord
Jesus Christ, which they sacrifice
on the altar and receive and adj
minister to Others"
| OF course, the clerics referred
to in this sentence were Catholic
priests.
Again:
But all those who do not do
lpenancc and who do not receive
the body and blood of our Lord,
etc.
There are thousands of similar
periods to be found throughout
the writings of St. Francis. To
adopt him is as inconsistent as
are lot of other things adopted
by the Episcopalians. In the re-
ligion taught by the Founder,
however, there are no inconsistent
cies. That is one great reason
why the Catholic Church always
appeals to thoughtful people.

CAN A STATE STOP OPEN
PROPAGATION OF I'M
MORALITY.

Within a very short time the
supreme court of the nation will
be called upon to decide whether
a state has the right to stop open
propagation of immortality. Two
New York women were convicted
on a charge of distributing birth
control pamphlets. Their case
has been appealed to the highest
civil tribunal.
The present agitation for birth
control is the natural sequence of
the eugenics, sex hygiene, twi-
light sleep and kindred move
ments which have nauseated the
sensible public for the past few
years. If one would believe the
INSPIRED" doctors and sociolo-
gists, the vast majority OF us
should never have been born.
One would imagine that humanity
was on the verge of physical and
mental collapse which could be
averted only by these supermen.
They view man as nothing more
than an animated machine. The
question of morality or the ST.
preme rights of God never enters
their calculations. With bias
phemous egotism and monument
al conceit that battles comprehen-
sion, they assume the power to
decide for the unborn child wheth-
er it is to be or not to bc-thc
power OF life and death.
The argument most frequently
brought forward by these advo-
Gates to birth control is that it is
an evil to bring children to birth
in abject poverty. While every
thing that will alleviate poverty
should be done, birth control is no
remedy. 1t is creating a greater
evil. 1t not only robs the race and
the nation. but brutalizes the in
dividual by stultifying the natural
desire for parenthood. The ma
ton and the race want all the chill
dren they can get. God wants
saints to serve Him and event
TALLY be happy with Him. We
must fight poverty, but we dare
not fight nature, which is God.
Birth control is distorted and
abnormal theory. Viewed from
the standpoint of science and logic
it is unprincipled and impracti-
cable. In the light of morality it
is crime and an abominatioil in
the sight of God,

PARTITION OF IRELAND.

AS we stated some time ago,
the policy of partition is again
ready to be sprung upon the Irish
people.
Redmond still leads an opposi-
ton which everybody knows is
a mere sham, and the Govern
ment which he ''held in the llol-
low of his hand" has in some in
scrutable manner escaped from it's
captivity.
Every motion that the Irish
Party have made on the state of
Ireland has been contemptuously
rejected by majorities of over five
hundred, and still the farce Of
Constitutiona1ism is kept up.
Redmond's political life is a liv-
ing lie, and, while he is nominally
in opposition to the Government,
he is secretly bargaining with it,
this time again for a dismember-
ment of Ireland to be forced upon
the Irish people, whether they
like,it or not.
The Irish Party has passed res
olutions asking for the release of
the Irish informed prisoners of
war, and at the same time Red
mond himself has full knowledge
that more than a hundred of the
prisoners now informed are kept
in Frongoch on the suggestion Of
his lieutenants and with his con-
sent.
There are scores Of Irish Jour-
nalists informed who took no part
in the Revolution and whose SYM
pathies were against the Revolu-
ton. but who criticised the Party,
and Devlin, Magee and French
asked Dublin Castle to intern
these men so that the Party might
have free hand.
The Liverpool Post, an organ
of the Liberal Party, states that
on the question of the vivisection
of Ireland negotiations have been
started, the main idea of which is
the formation of Provisional Com
mittees composed of Irish "lead-
ers" of various parties.
We are able to supplement this
information by stating that Red
mond is not only negotiating with
Lloyd-George, but with Irish die
hards- like Carson, and is depend
ing upon the richards support for
a new Home Rule Bill.
If Redmond achieves his pur-
pose, himself, Carson. William
O'Brien and Horace Plunkett will
be the new governors of Ireland,
and, as they are recruiters, the
scheme would suit England very
we'll.
The most grotesquely impudent
