EQUAL SUFFRAGE.-It was with
deep regret that 1 read a few days
lgo of the death of one of Americas
foremost suffragists, and as read l
recalled a letter of Mr.. Allen Steven,
published more than a year ago in
The Day Book. In that epistle he
condemned the men of N. Y. for not
granting woman suffrage.
Mrs. BosseVain was, taken sick
while campaigning with other east
ern women, asking their sisters of
The western states to elect a man
president who would grant all the
women the vote. This issue, in my
opinion, should have overshadowed
all others in the eyes of woman.
To my mind every woman voter
should have cast her vote against the
man who twice turned his back on
their representatives, saying that
woman suffrage was not a national
issue, yet he is willing to accept ma
honaI office at the hands of these
same women, for there can be no
doubt that had the last election been
left entirely to men the Democratic
party would have been defeated.
Mr.. Steven, where were all these
people whom you are pleased to call
''red-blooded westerners" when the
west elected to the Office of presidnt
a man who apparently is in the same
class as those you referred to four
teen months ago when you said:
Each man of the east, where wom-
en- are refused equal rights, should be
beat up by a big prizefghter until the
devil is knocked out of him" Allen
Steven, people that live in glass
houses should not throw stones.
Women of the east, look no more
to your western sisters to give you
anything that they have. They are
too selfish; they want to have some
thing that you have not. Your fight
in the future will be harder, as the
Democratic marty has refused Vol

THE MAKING OF HOBOES.-
Some time ago I passed along Madi-
son street near Clinton. AS usual, a
great many unfortunate men, COM
monty known as hOboes, could be
seen lOafng about the saloons. On
seeing those men, the scum of hui
mainly, passing their time without a
thought or purpose, the following
question came to my mind: Who is
responsible for their presence there?
And the answer came to me instant
ly, namely, society.
Those men in their youth, if they
were given an opportunity, were ca
pable Of becoming useful men. And
the reason that they are not is the
ignorance of their parents and the
reluctance of society.
In view of the fact, it isn't sUrpris-
ing that we have so many young
criminals, who in time become eX-
perts at their trade.
We see children who are just COM .

their characters are just molding.
Then it does not require much per

the right or bad ways of life.
Who can dispute the fact that any
degenerate, if he were given a good
environment and education in child
hood, would not be capable of be-
coming a useful member of society?

THREE KINDS OF PEOPLE.

"From out this world war will come
Il new impetus to religion" declared
Rev. Father Eckert of Minneapolis, a
member of the Dominican order, who
preached Sunday morning at the first
services of the Holy Name rally that
will continue today and tomorrow.
Patriotism and reverence of God
are synonymous" he said. "War is
brought on by insult to q ruler or a
flag, the same spirit that inspires q
man to blaspheme the deity.
There is great deal of irrever-
ence in the world today. A year be-
fore the tragedy of Liege the marchers
in the Corpus Christi parade were
stoned.
There are three kinds of people
in the world: Unbelievers, believers
in God and in the divinity of Christ
but not Catholics, and Roman Catho-
lies. We assert that we are in the
church Of Christ and as such 1t is our
duty to maintain reverence toward
Him. So many people use the name
of Christ only when they blaspheme." {"
Rt. Rev. James McGolrick officiated
at the solemn benediction.

Catholic past, and that which still re-
mains of it among the peasants of
Brittany. This is shown, inadvertent-
ly but none the less forcibly, in an
other article on "The Beauties of
France" in the same magazine from
which quotation has been made. Her
shame has been the rejection of her
Catholic traditions, her bitter warfare
on the Church, and the acceptance of
that false morality which has stamped
her as the childless nation of Europe.
Perhaps in the hour of her pain, de-
feat, and humiliation, she may finally
decide to cast aside the "false proph-
cts" who have misled her and to turn
once more to the Church for the re-
generation of her children.

LETTER 0F Cardinal MAKE IPOPES VIEWS KNOWN

A letter written by Cardinal Cas-

Unity meeting called by the Commits.
sion of Faith and Order of the Pro.
testant Episcopal church was read
when the commission met last week.
The letter was sent in reply to
communication addressed to Pope
Benedict XIV. The letter Of the Holy
Father contains his wishes for the
success Of the meeting for church
unity, and expressed pleasure of the
Pontiff in their project of examining
with sincere spirit and without pre-
iudice the essential form of the church.
The following is the response of the
Holy Father:
"Your project of an international
convention of all who believe in Jesus
Christ as God and Saviour to accom-
plish the speedy fulfillment of the
final prayer of the Lord, that all may
be one, I have, in obedience to your
request, submitted to the most blessed
father.

know that the plans of the Roman
pontiffs, their cares and their labors,
have always been specially directed
to the end that the sole and unique
church which Jesus Christ ordained
and sanctided with His divine blood
should be most zealously guarded and
maintained, whole, pure and ever
abounding in love and that it should

its door for all who rejoice in the
name Of man and who desire to gain
holiness upon earth and eternal hap.
