THE SPARTAN SPAR, 4. y, IDEAL De!

Urging subordination of everything
elso to the conduct of the war, the
Cojogne Gazette says: Germany is $
approaching with rapid strides ever ''sl'
nearer the Spartan ideal. It predicts
that Germany next year will: bear
fair resemblance to the Spartan
state. of 5000 years ago, in which en-
the individual was nothing and the
state everything.
The question which is yet to be
decided by the people of the war r
RING nations of the earth is, Will men
in thu twentieth century be tin SOL
diers like those Of ancient Spartan !!
President Wilson in a recent speech
alluded to the fact that the human
race is at present 10th to act upon
The ipse dixit of one. or a few men.
After the battle of Waterloo Napo-
leon returned to France and said the
country must have dictator. La
Fayette said, "No, we do not want

NAPOLEON has had, his day. He has
made sad havoc in France. Thousands
of the young mem of the country
have been slaughtered at the will OF
the Corsican, while millions of dam
age has been wrought by one man

tants.'
Napoleon later offered his services
to the country simply as. general

bloodshed was setting on the lonely

The fate of Napoleon should prove

Mayor Ainslie, of Richmond, has
revoked the permit OF the Rev. Eu-

pauth was giving vent to utteranccs

and likely to cause trouble. In doing
SO he reminded Pauth that it was
lust a week ago that he was caution
cd TO be more careful in his ut

Saturday from several citizens whe
heard Pauth preaching at Sixth ana
Broad streets.
One of these was j. J. Haggart'
a bookkeeper, who was arrested I'M
mediately after he had called Pauth
liar for making certain asperslons

THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

Reports from all over the coun-
try indicate a gratifying increase
in the attendance at our Catholic
institutions Of learning Every
year about this time we are told
that the average Catholic school
and college has an enlarged en-
rollment. All this indicates that
the Catholic Church keeps in step
with the growth Of population, and
at the same time it is evidence that
our Catholic people are realizing
more and more not only the neces-
sity but also the advantage Of
Catholic training. Within the
past four or five years Catholic
schools throughout the land seem
to have been actuated by a new
impulse. State boards of educa-
ton have been making educational
requirements more stringent. They
seem to have aimed at forcing pri-
vate institutions to reach a GER
tain standard of efficiency con-
fOrmable to the eXactions Of the
state. While in some cases doubt
full motives may have actuated
these state boards, there can be no
question but that Catholic educa-
tors have welcomed this plan and
have endeavored heartily to coop
crate with it. If the state deems
it worth while to demand that all
educational institutions attain a
certain fixed standard, the state
is perfectly within it's rights.
When placed to the test the ma
jority of our Catholic schools have
been found to- be above the state
standard. The few schools that
have been handicapped in the past
by lack Of sufficient means have
been urged to new effort, with the
result that Catholic education has
profted thereby. p
This being the case surely there
is no reason now why any Catho-
lie parents should refuse or ne
glect to confde Catholic children
to the Catholic school The old
time objection advanced by some
parents concerning the alleged in
efficiency of the Catholic school
has gone by the board; there is
not left a single plank for those
parents in the vast sea of objec-
tons formerly so widespread.

Catholic Ii prayer be a raising
of ours hearts.to God, surely there
is no better means than that which
is presented to us in the form of
the rosary. The soul of persever-
ance consists in repetition of
acts until the end Of the petition
be attained. In the rosary we
have a repetition of prayers-the
Our Father and the Hail Mary
which tend to place us i'll close
communion with God and the
things of eternity. Countless are
the favors received through Our
Lady of the Rosary; incalculable
the number of names that stand
prominently on the world S roll Of
honor, names that represent ten

rosary. It's very simplicity re-
moves all barriers and levels all
conditions. This simplicity makes
it a universal form of prayer, ac7
cessible to the humblest and the
most illiterate, as well as inspiring
to the intellectual.

CATHOLIC PRESS CLUB.

The Catholic Press Club, of Wi
mona, Minnesota, is an energetic
body of Catholics who are devot-
ing great deal of time and
effort to promoting the welfare
OF Catholic publications, as well
as to informing the public gen
orally of the valne of these pub
locations.
The most recent effort of the
organization is represented by a
small but interesting pamphlet
in its second edition-which deals
with Catholic magazines and
papers throughout the country.
The pamphlet was compiled for
the purpose of providing Catho-
lies with definite. data concerning
the most representative Catholic
publications in the United States.
The magazines listed represent
widely different fields of Catholic
activity, and the newspapers are
selected from various parts of the
country. A long list of Catholic
writers is to be found, while a

co and four other priests were arrest
ed at Tepotzotlan on Aug. 8, 1914.
The prisoners were put into a wagon
and taken to Tealoyucan. There for
six days, FIR Carrasco shared small
room with thirteen other prisoners.
No food was given them by their cap
tors, but friendly villagers struggled
into the room few loaves of bread
and some bottles of water.
After several days Imprisonment,
Fir. Carrasco was brought before one
of Carranza's officers and told that the
First Chief had decided to deal len
iently with him because of his artistic
ability.

The next morning came, and FIR.
Carrasco firmly refused to give up his
religion for the sake OF the promised
reward. Apparently his courage inn
pressed his captors, for he was not
shot, but sent back to his college at
Tepotzot1an There he found Car
rama and his soldiers in possession,
and there he made the studies of the
First Chief which later, at suggestion
of Gen. Francisco Coss, he used in
painting the portrait
This portrait pleased Gen. Carran-
"a, who sent word that the painter
was to be taken to Vera Cruz and al
lowed to leave the country. So, in
stead of death or hard imprisonment,
FIR. Carrasco received the lesser SEN
tence of exile as result of the talent
that had been trained in the National
Mexican Academy and in the Museo
of Ell Prado.

Apropos Of the numerous con-
versions from the Church of Eng
land Catholicism is making, Glad
stone once remarked: "The con-
quests have been chiefly, as might
have been expected, among wom-
en-. )" Whereupon Mrs. Margaret
r. Sullivan, that gifted Catholic
Journalist who died, all too soon,
thirteen years ago, wrote re
joinder that is reprinted, in the
current Catholic Mind, published
by the America Press Of New
York. The questions which,
with admirable and convincing
erudition, she answers in her
article prove by evidence which
will not be disputed that, to
win others to their faith, women
have given up everything, they
can give up everything, that their
faith is dearer to them than all
else ON earth. Then, surely, a
faith which has made its progress
even "chiefy among women" has
made progress as solid as if it
were chiefly among men, for no
greater things can man do than
these.
Mrs. Sullivan s paper is both an
historical survey of all that Cath
Ole women have accomplished to
promote the worlds civilization,
and refutation Of the charge that
the Church keeps woman in state
Of intellectual thraldom. The
number concludes with short ac-
count Of "What One Woman
Did"

RELIGION AND POLITICS.

According to the New York
World, the Republican National
Committee has, or had, decided to
enlist the aid Of the movies to en-
tighten the American public on
the brutal scenes enacted in Mex
leo, during the present Democratic
administration. The pictures, it
seems, were enacted in Sleeps
head Bay, New York, by salaried
actors. Whether or not the Re
publican committee will allow the
films to be shown throughout the
country, as alleged, the fact re-
mains that it is poor policy,
though it may be good politics,
thus to inject the religious issue
into the campaign. The chief
melodramatic theme. it appears, is
based on a purely fictional situa-
ton. The consequent brutalities
and tragedies are brought in with
startling vividness, while Mr.. Will
son is shown asleep.
Strange it is that while actual
scenes of real tragedy and out
rage were going on in Mexico, the
great papers of the country were
almost to a unit silent now that a
political issue has been made of
the disgusting affair, the great
dailies and the people at large will
be aroused, not at the outrages
but at the mere filming Of them.
The ancients were wrought up
over scenes of actual carnage; but
the great American public stood
aloof and unaffected by the reali-
ty, while it gasps at the imitation
Strange, indeed, is the great pub
lie mind.

brief explanatory note makes
clear the nature of the maya
zines.
The Club urges the formation
Of Catholic Press exhibits with a
view to bringing our literature
and writings before the public,
and before our own people in
particular. Catholic Press Day in
the schools is also another goal
towards which they are striving,
and with success in many parts of
the. country.
The work of the club is deserv-
ing of all encouragement, and the
work it is doing may be consider
ed pioneer effort in a field that
one day should show abundant
harvest.
The pamphlets sell for ten cents
the copy, with low rates for guam
titles. They could easily be
placed in book-racks in the
Churches where our people would
come to know and appreciate the
work being done.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-09-30

There is widespread discussion
as to the advantages and evils of
the so-called movies. To the cas-
ual observer there are vast posi-
bilities for both good and evil in
this new industry. If it be true, as
the ancients held, that pictures are
the books of the illiterate, we may
also say that the movies are the
text books Of the unthinking in the
school Of experience. If these text
books are properly prepared and
carefully guarded the good that
will result will be immense. On
the contrary, if i'll prepared. text
books filled with untruth, unsav-
Dry appeal, and a realistic por-
trayal of sin be placed before the
large school of the unthinking, the
result cannot but be lowering of
ideals, responsiveness to inferior
appeals, and acquiesence in the
lure of evil.

Word reaches us from Lansing,
Michigan, that great difficulty was
experienced in that city recently
by promoters of certain film and
lecture. 1t seems that the promo
tiers and lecturer were refused
permission by the local authorities
to show the film, Twilight
Sleep" and to give the lecture
illustrative of the picture. Where
upon, we are informed by the
Lansing State Journal, one Of the
promoters stated that she had
received a letter of approval OF
the lecture and film from the
Roman Catholic Archbishop of ST.
Paul, as well as a personal word
of endorsement from that pre-.
late. We are authorized in EN-.
phatically denying that the Roman
Catholic Archbishop of st. Pau
ever endorsed this film by word OF
letter.
