An anti-Catholic lecturer, F. B.
Jordan by name, who was found
guilty Of distributing obscene lit
erature at Litchfeld, Mimi, and
sentenced to pay fine of $3.50 or
spend ninety days in Jail, was re-
Gently remanded to the custody Of
the sheriff of Meeker County to
serve his time. Following his con-
viction at the June term of court,
Jordan made an informal applica-
ton for a new trial, and a stay Of
execution of sentence was granted
twice to allow him to perfect the
motion. On failure to do so, Judge
DAILY ordered him to serve the
ninety days in jail imposed upon
him at the first trial in default of
the payment Of the fine. AS soon
as he was taken to Jail, a repre-
sentative of the Free Speech
League from Kansas offered to
pay the fine, but the sheriff re-
fused because he considered the
offer a bluff, which, evidently, it
was, as Jordan is now partaking
Of the hospitality Of the Meeker
County Jail keeper.

ceeded my expectations.

If some Of our esteemed con-
temporaries had relied more upon
The Catholic Bulletin than upon
their imagination for the anti
Catholic incidents connected with
the National Prohibition Conven-
ton, held in st. Paul some time
ago, their comments on that meet
ing would have been more to the
point. There was no Catholic
amazon" in attendance at the
convention and "neither priest on
virago" did anything unworthy of
the priesthood or of gentlest' wom-
ankind. When Acknowledgements
tant events having a Catholic
bearing, Catholic papers should
try to keep within the limit set by
facts and not draw upon their
Imagination in order to point a
moral and adorn a tale. Neither
should they place too much reli-
ance upon the highly colored ac-
counts of trivial incidents magni-
fed by the secular press.

IRISH JURIST RETIRES
LORD CHIEF BARON PALLES HAD
A DISTINGUISHED CAREER
APPOINTED IN 1874.

The Right Hon. Christopher Palles,
Lord Chief Baron of Ireland who re-
tired from the Bench some time ago
on account of i'll health, was born in
1881, and after a distinguished career
atsTrinity College, Dublin, was called
to the Bar in 1853, taking silk twelve
years later. Solicitor-General for Ire
land in 1872, and Acknowledgement in
1874, he was appointed in the latter
year Lord Chief Baron of the Ex-
chequer. That Office was abolished by
Act of Parliament over quarter of a
century ago, but only when it should
become vacant; and the Chief Baron
continued to carry on his duties till
this year, when he retired at the age
of So years. His predecessor, Chief
Baron Pigot, who was appointed in
1916, held the position till his death
in 1874. Chief Baron Palles was
never an opportunist, but a lawyer
pure and simple. AS consequence it
was his honorable merits as legal
list alone which won him the high
place he held. An earnest and loyal
Catholic, he applied the letter of the
law impartially to all classes. His
retirement is distinct loss to the
Irish Bench.

MORE IGNORANCE.

The Encyclopedia Britannica
seems very proud Of the informa-
ton it offers on Mexico, says the
Extension Magazine
Recently it's publishers had a
large advertisement in several
American papers which was a re-
production Of a portion Of it's
article on that country. The fol-
lowing shows the mental condition
of the editors Of, the Britannica
"'The tyranny, formerly exercised
by the Roman Catholic Church
has been broken in form, and, to
an extent, in substance; but the
priests still possess a pervading
influence which hampers the sys-
tenn Of public education; nominal
ly that Of free, compulsory and
non-sectarian instruction for all
children Of 6 to II years Of age. "
This certainly is information"
to those who know the history Of
Mexico. Of course. the editor
fails to explain how the priests
can be hampering education when
they are not allowed to have any
thing whatever to do with it, and
when they have not had any
power over it for about fifty
years; all Of which is well known
to readers Of this magazine, and
some other people of intelligence.
Somebody asked us, little while
ago, how we accounted for the
constantly recurring waves Of big
otry in this country. The. sorrow
full answer was: Ignorance. F"
1t is a matter of absolute fact that,
on all points that concern the
Catholic Church, the average
American none Catholic is about as
densely ignorant as he is about the
history of Madagascar; and this
ignorance exists not only among
the rank and file, but as high as
you can go in the governmental
and social scale.

TEMPERANCE TALKS FROM
EXALTED SOURCES,

Leo XIII wrote tWenty-nine years
ago: I'VE esteem worthy of all com
mendation the noble resolve of your
pious associations" (the C. T. A. U.
of A. and its affiliated societies) "by
which they pledge themselves to alb.
stain totally from every kind of intox-
icating drink. Nor can it be
at all doubted that this determination
is the proper and the truly efficacious
remedy for this very great evil; and
that so much the more strongly will
all be induced to put this bride upon
appetite, by how much the greater are
the dignity and influence of those who
give the example. But the greatest
OF all in this matter should be the
zeal of the priests, who, as they are
called to instruct the people in the
word of life and to mould them to
Christian morality, should also, and
above all, walk before them in the
practice of virtue. Let pastors, there
fore, do their best to drive the plague
of intemperance from the fold of
Christ, by assiduous preaching and
exhortation, and shine before all as
models of abstinence"
The Fathers of the Third Plenary
Council of Baltimore had already
called upon pastors never to cease
to cry out boldly against drunkenness
and whatsoever leads to it," and Ito
induce all of their flock that may be
engaged in the sale of liquors to
abandon as soon as they can the dan
gerous traffic"

therefore, that Catholic parents Sc
lect the right school, Catholic
school, one III which religion goes
hand in hand with science, the ac-
QUESTION of virtue with the attain
ment of knowledge, and spiritual
development with intellectual
progress. 1t is matter Of COM
mon knowledge that education
without morality makes for ship
wreck on the sea of life.
Our Catholic educational insti-
tutions are fully equipped for the
work expected Of them. The cur
riculum is as varied and compre-
hensive as the best of their class,
and the teachers are thoroughly
prepared for their work. From
the point of view Of intellectual
training there is nothing to be de-
sired. But they do not stop there.
They aim at the development Of
the whole being, not of the mind
alone. The affections and the will
are trained, culture is impaired,
religion is taught, the principles
Of morality are laid down with
authority and everything possible
is done to make the pupils intelli-
gent and cultured men and
women, well-rounded types Of
what the educated Christian
should be.
Catholic parents in search Of
the right school for the higher
education of their children will
find it unnecessary, as a general
rule, to go far beyond the limits
of their own state to find such
an institution. Through The
Catholic Bulletin the chief educa-
tional institutions Of the North
west make an appeal for patron
age. They are entitled to support
because they are among the best
IN their respective classes in the
country; and parents will make
no mistake in entrusting to them
the higher education of their chill
dren. Write to them for prospec-
fuses containing full information
about the course, discipline and
tuition fees and do not put off the
selection until the eleventh hour.
This is a matter Of too much mo-
ment to be disposed off without
due consideration Of all the points
involved in it.

THE STUFF THAT MAKES YOU
HATE YOURSELF.

There are men who in moments of
remorse reVile their own weaknesses.
When a fellow wakes up with
head; when he has a taste in his
mouth as refreshing as the thought
of sewage; when he Graves more of
the stuff that has robbed him of brains
and peace of mind-then that man
cordially hates himself He tells no
one. He resolves to 'break" with
liquor. But he doesn't. He means
well. He fully intends to quit but
there's that resistless "Other Self"
which says: you need just one
more. 1t will brace you up!" And
he takes it!
If this shoe fits you, Mr.. Drinker,
rest assured you're in danger. Every
red-nosed, foul-breath Down and Out
once went through identically the
same experience. That craving desire
means just one thing. You simply
must break with liquor or old ]. Bar
leycorn will break you as he has done
millions of others. There's one safe
way to get rid Of all desire for alco-
holic drink.

was given to any justice of county

Certain historians at various times
have tried to discredit religious lib

colonists. However, reputable nom

Professor Emil Kraepelin is dlrec-

the University of Munich. He has
made more painstaking tests of al
cohol and it's effects probably, than
any other Aman; and he began them
as believer in beer. Now hear him:
From the recommendation of a
wine-dealer, learn that wine enlivens

THE SAME OLD TACTICS.

Anti-Catholic publications are
calling attention to the fact that
Lawrence Green, private secre-
tary to Charles Evans Hughes, is
a graduate of the famous Roman
Catholic college at Georgetown,
D. Co." thus insinuating that Mr..
Green is a Catholic, and that, if
Mr.. Hughes is elected President,
he will be under the domination Of
an emissary of Rome.
One Of Mr.. Green's classmates
in the law school at Georgetown,
Chester A. Gwinn, says that he is
a fellow graduate Of 1909, Prot
estant and Mason, but does not
know Mr.. Green's religion and
does not care what it is. I am
now informed by mutual friends, Z"
says Mr.. Gwinn, that he formerly
attended the Mt. Pleasant Congre-
gational Church in Washington,
where he sang in the choir, and
played baseball with the team rep
resenting that church. F"
That ought to settle the ques-
ton of Mr. Green's religion. The
fact that it has been brought up
shows the lengths to which some
of the vile sheets will go in inject
ing religion into politics. They
and their readers are always the
first to drag the question of re
ligion into the political arena and
then they raise the cry that Cath
olics are bringing religion into
politics.

A recent issue of Mcclure s
Magazine, which is supposed, to be
a reputable publication with not
a little regard for the ordinary
amenities of cultured life, contains
an article which is entirely out Of
place in any magazine laying
claim to responsibility. In its
scarcely yelled blasphemy and
crude suggestiveness, it shocks
and disgusts the ordinary reader.
We cannot understand why a mag
azine like McClure's would open
its pages to such a vulgar pro-
duction, no matter what the sup
posed literary standing of its
author in the world of fiction.

CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER.

One never sees the sign, "Clos-
ed for the summer-Pastor on va
cation" on the door Of the Catho-
lie Church. Not few denomina-
tional churches dispense with the
usual church services during the
hot weather. The minister needs a
vacation and so do the people.
Attendance at church is not so vi
tally important to them that it can
not be dispensed with, for there
is no obligation binding in con-
science to subject oneself to the
discomfort and inconvenience of
going to church on Sunday during
the heat of summer. The, same
holds true for the rest of the year.
With the Catholic Church it is
different. There is no vacation in
the spiritual life. There is no
more reason for dispensing a Cath
Ollie from attendance at Mass on
Sunday during the summer than
at any other time of the year. The
Catholic Church never closes her
doors. They stand inyitingly
open not only on Sunday but
throughout all the week, and every
morning the Adorable Sacrifice
is offered up just as on Sunday
morning. But the obligation of
being present at the Mass does not
bind the faithful under pain of
grievous sin except on Sunday.

SPANISH MISSIONS
THEIR INFLUENCE ON PRESENT
DAY LIFE IN CALIFORNIA.

The one aim, object and purpose
of the Franciscans was to convert the
Indians. This end they never lost
sight of, and the neophytes were
taught to lead happy, useful lives
only that they might devote them
selves to the service of God, writes
Margaret P. Hayne, in the August
Catholic World. The religious infiu-
ence was the dominating idea of the
community Let us see what traces
of this influence are to be observed
in the forlorn remnants of the Indian
race of today.
In 1879, Robert Louis Stevenson
attended Mass at Mission Carmel. He
describes the handful of poor Indians
who came down from the mountains
with old chant books handed down
from many generations, and how
strangely touching it was to hear them
sing to the Gregorian music. ut was
then not only the worship of God,
nor an act by which they recalled and
commemorated better days, but was
besides an exercise of culture where
all that they knew of art and letters
was united and expressed These
Mission chant books are sometimes
found preserved in Indian huts of to-
day, stirring reminders of the Golden
Age of the Padres. The contrast be-
tween the condition of the Indian then
and now is unspeakably pathetic.
Bryan Clinch says: Compared
with the fate of the uncivilized native
population under American rule, that
of the surviving eX-mission Indians
indicates that the training of the
Franciscans had a permanent eff
cheney on their customs long after
their teachers had passed away
the moral and industrial
lessons of Peyri and Duran have left
them widely different from the naked
savages who butchered Jayne at San
Diego. Mr.. Lummis, after long expert
ence, declares that if these Indians
were given barely half the quantity OF
passable land that would maintain a
handwriting New England farmer,
they would easily maintain them
selves" And what would have
pleased the great Sierra best of all,
the descendants of his Indians still
cling to the religion to whose serv-
ices he gave his life, and it still gives
joy and comfort to their dreary, flu
tureless lives.
AS a country evolves from it's rough
pioneer stage, as it progresses in civil
ization, it begins to appreciate the
men of the past and all they have
stood for. Such has been the case
with California. The interest in and
appreciation of our pioneers, begun a
generation ago, is ever growing. To
day several thousand visit the Mis-
sions where twenty saw them ten
years ago. The campaign for the
restoration of the Missions and the
relaying of Ell Canine Real has
aroused statewide enthusiasm, and
all classes of patriotic men and
women have responded whatsoever
be their creed. Old customs are re-
newed which perpetuate the memory
of the past. At the breaking of the
ground for the site of the present San
Diego Exposition, the memory of ST.
Francis, "Everybody's St. Francis"
the great father of all the Padres, was
publicly honored.

1t is said that the new Presi-
dent of China, LII Yuan Hung, is a
Catholic. That means, of course,
that the future policy of that
country will be dictated from the
Vatican and no one, especially if
he be a Protestant, will be allowed
to breathe without a special per-
nit from the Pope. 1t is too bad
that some of the patriots,
whom the United States could
easily spare, did not realize what
was about to take place and go
over to China to warn the people
against the impending blight that
has fallen on their country.

PROHIBITION WORKING WELL IN

A Swedish traveller writes:-
Speaking with Russians of the
working Of prohibition, one is told
regularly that the alcohol reform can
be compared in importance only to
the abolition of serfdom.
"On one point all Russians are
agreed The good effects of the law
are most evident in the rural dis
tricts. The Russian village is beyond
recognition.
"Swedes like myself who have tray
eled through Russia to make a study
of prohibition, expecting to make
amusing references to articles to
evade the law, must confess that the
scepticism is greatly changed. First,
one is very much amazed; then the
phenomenon profoundly impresses
