DECAY OF Professionalism
IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Englshman Writes Interestingly Of
the Conditions Now Prevalent
in Old World.

The following is short description
Of the decay of Professionalism in
Europe by Hugh Mccain of Walton
Park, Liverpool, England.
Professionalism in Europe just now
is in somewhat of decaying nature.
On the Continent it is at it's lowest
ebb. In Germany, the land of Luth-
erism, it is failure. 1t offers
spectacle of empty churches and
noticeable decrease of candidates for
the ministry of an appalling growth.
Everywhere the movement is back
ward. In England you have the same
signs of decay-empty CHURCHES and
disheartened workers.
Today, both in Germany, England
and France the one religion that is
appealing to all and gaining ground is
the Roman Catholic Church. Roman
ism with all its monstrous assump-
tions has something solid to offer. 1t
has body and blood in it. 1t tells
man he has soul which needs saw
ing and that it can save it, and make
the spiritual world real to him. In
England, Catholicity has compelled
the House of Lords and Commons to
consult them upon their opinion, and
respect their pleasure when any new
laws are to be made. The progressive
phenomena of the Catholic Church is
not alone confined to England; but in
Holland and Switzerland the same pro.
gress is going on. Catholicism is
religion. 1t has a church, an organ.
ization, priesthood, government, defin.
lite worship and dogmatic creed; its
history all over the world shows a
moral influence restraining politicians,
modifying oppression in governments
and wholly protecting the weak.

fact is sealed by the blood of Catho-
lies shed upon every battlefield of the
Republic from Lexington to Manila
Bay.
Guardians of Bigotry who seek to
prove that the Catholic Church is an
enemy of education must invent their
evidence. 1t does not exist in any au-
thentic record. challenge Tom
Watson, Teddy Walker and the entire
array of "A. P. A. orators and editors
to name one demonstrated fact, in phil
osophy, economics, astronomy, medi-
cine, or any branch of science which
the Catholic Church refuses to accept
at its. face value.
Among the fallacies of A. P. A.-ism
there is nothing more false, or more
utterly absurd, than the delusion that
the Catholic Church is the enemy of
popular education. Brann's Icono-

CATHOLIC BUSINESS
MEN AND SUCCESS
The Complaint About Not Being Able
to Secure and Hold Catholic
Trade.

A business man, Catholic by the
way, says the Milwaukee Catholic
Citizen, complained the other day:
Il don't get the trade of Catholics.
They go elsewhere. Why are not the
Catholics like the Methodists? Now
the Methodists always patronize their
own people in business"
We don't want Catholics to be mar
row or sectarian about their patron
age. They will go where they can get
the best treatment. Other things be-
ing equal, they are apt to prefer their
acquaintances in business. They deal
with the men they know. That's the
way of the world.
Some Catholic business men are not
enterprising. They are not affable.
They do not seize opportunities to
make themselves known among their
own people.
In the matter of advertising, for in
stance, some Catholics in business
are penny wise and pound foolish.
In any town where a Catholic paper
is published there is enough Catholic
patronage alone to sustain three or
four fiourishing houses in any one
line of business. But Catholic bust.
ness men are not always enterprising
enough to use the columns of the
Catholic paper which would serve as
weekly reminder to the Catholic
community as to where they are and
what they are selling.
Other Catholics in business are not
so dense. One of these recently wrote
our office when renewing his adver.
tisement:
Il would just as soon take down
my sign as stop that advertisement.
Your readers are the bulk of my Gus.
toners and l have got them through
your columns"
Undoubtedly, Catholic newspapers
are profitable advertising mediums.

church entertainment, leave him alone.
And IL you have II relative whom you
dearly love, don't tel him he has talent
because he can walk like Eddie Foy and
play ragtime.
Take heed from the experiences of
Alexander. He was working happily in
livery stable at seven per and always had
enough to buy ham and beans for his
best girl after the show. and he wore
clothes that brought everybody TO the
front door when he passed-but now all is
changed. If you want to know the end Of
the story you'll have to see Mcintyre and
Heath at Kciths this week They eN-
plain fully how talent Is often curse in
disguise in the course Of their famous
sketch "rhe Georgia sTinstrels." They
were given warm welcome and their re-
turn to vaudeville will no doubt bring them
a golden reward.
They present the down and out darky as
you usually find him with his frowns. his
whims and his suporstitons. And its
because they get right down to the root Of
things that the laughs come constantly.
The sketch appears to be somewhat eab-
GRATED upon. 1t Is "chvcl'' full of comedy
and overflowing and the stars, who have
deserted musical comedy for Il time, scored
triumph.
In all fairness it must he said, how
ever, that Homer Il. Mason and Mar
guerite Keeler in their one-act play,
Married" won as many laughs as the
stars. This sketch. which has been re-
Viewed before in these columns, contains
the nucleus of a three-act comedy. 1t
