THE LANGUAGE QUESTION
FRENCH CATHOLICS IN ONTARIO
LOSE LANGUAGE CASE.

A decision has been given by the
highest tribunal in the British EN-
pire-the Imperial Privy Council, Lon
don-in the appeal taken by the
French Catholics of Ontario, Canada,
against the judgment Of the Supreme
Court of the Dominion in regard to
the legal status of the French Ian
guage in the schools of that province,
especially in the separate schools
which are maintained by the taxes of
French Canadians. 1t is to the effect
that there is no constitutional guaran-
tee for the use Of the French Ian
guage in any of the schools of On
tario; and that the government of
that province was within its author
ity in issuing Regulation Seventeen
over which arose all the litigation
that is now finally ended, and the agi-
tation both in Ontario and in Quebec
that is still going on and will prob
ably continue for long time. In the
decision which they have handed
down the claw lords composing the
Privy Council point out that, although
under the provisions of the British
North America Act-which, by the
way, is the federal constitution of
Canada-the teaching of religion is eX-
plicity safeguarded, no mention what
ever is made of the use of the French
language and, consequently, the pro-
vincial legislature, which alone has
the right to pass laws affecting edu-
cation subject to those provisions, has
the right to specify what, if any, Ian
guage other than English shall be
used or taught in the schools under
it's jurisdiction and the length Of time
to be devoted to the teaching of that
language.

upon these places Of amusement
as necessarily pitfalls for all men.
The Catholic society, on the
other hand following the custom
of the Church, sanctioned by ira
dition, considers that the theatre
may be not only source Of legiti-
mate pleasure but also great
moral and intellectual factor for
good. During the middle ages the
theatre as it then existed was prac-
tically under the direction Of re-
ligiOus influence. In order to raise
it to a still higher plane the
Miracle, Mystery, and Morality
plays were promoted. The few
dramas of this nature that still
survive give us an idea Of the ele-
waited nature Of the performances.
When these finally took on too
earthly and sensual a form they
were forbidden and prohibited by
Church authority.
At the present day the pursuit
OF gain, of box office profits, seems
to be the guiding principle Of most
theatrical managers in selecting
their shows. Morality, decency,
propriety, religious dignity are
never for moment considered by
these managers. If an appeal to
the morbid and the prurient will
fill house, that is considered suf-
ficient justification for staging a
play. 1t is precisely to offset this
mercenary greed on the part Of
stage managers that has inspired
the formation of the Catholic
Theatre Society. This organ
ization delegates certain mem
bers who witness all the plays
staged in New York City. A
summary and report Of each
play is then made to a com
mittee which proceeds to draw
up what is called White
List, or a list Of plays that are not
Objectionable. The latest White
List will be found elsewhere on
this page. Catholics would do well
in seeking legitimate amusement
In the theatre to consult this list.
No respectable Catholic would
care to be seen in a place where
virtue is openly Haunted and vice
openly praeticed, and yet a theatre
that INDUCES in this abnormal
practice is often considered suf-
ficlently respectable to draw
Catholic patronage. IF a Catholic
desires to seek the level of the
lowest part Of his corrupt nature
he will stop at nothing to satisfy
his morbidity. But if religion and
decency still hold a charm for him
he will hesitate before entering a
theatre where the performance
will bring bushes to his cheeks, if
he still have the power to blush.

When the Pope is fully vested, and
wearing the pail from the body OF
Blessed Peter, he is adorned with the
Vestments of every grade in the
Church; the white linen garment OF
the minor orders, the tunicle Of the
sub-deacon, the dalmatic of the deacon
the chasuble of the priest, the gloves
buskins, etc, of the bishop, the pail OF
the archbishop and patriarch, and the
falda and fanon of papacy.
Thus girt about with variety, he ap
proaches the altar as the great high
priest of humanity. He does not carry
a pastoral staff like an ordinary bish
op, but he sometimes uses the ferula
which is a metal rod surmounted by g
cross patee in Greek form. Plus *
used such at the Council.
Among other papal insignia is the
Sedes Gestatoria, which is of gill
wood and is raised on two steps. 1t is
upholstered in red velvet and gold
and is carried by twelve bearers. i
is used only for solemn entry ant
exit. Two fans of white ostricf
feathers, mingled with those Of the
peacock and mounted on tall red vel
vet slaves, are carried on either side
by privy chamberlains.

st. Thomas College, Of st. Paul,
during the past two years has en-
deavored to emulate the success
achieved by the more solid institu-
tions of the country. 1t possesses
an alumni association of which
any college might rightfully boast.
The reason for its genuine and
ever-increasing success may be at
tributed to one essential cause
the dynamic energy, unbounded
enthusiasm, and tireless efforts of
its founder, Rev. M. A. Ryan. I'm
der the magnetic influence of its
director this organization has sue
ceeded in getting into active touch
with former students scattered
throughout the world. It's mail
bears the postmarks of many coun-
tries far beyond the boundaries of
America. The enthusiasm which
is centered in the office of the Di-
rector radiates in every direction,
until old graduates consider it an
honor to communicate with and to
visit their Alma Mater.
The practical side Of this organ
ization is shown, in the first place,
by the business meetings which
are held very frequently, and by
the social affairs which are ar
ranged and carried out to most
successful termination. At these
affairs and meetings every mem
Der is anxious to spend and to be
spent for the good of the society.
Many distinguished names in
Church and state, as we'll as in the
business world, grace it's roster
and are present at it's meetings.
In the second place, it maintains
an employment bureau which, by
bringing the influence Of older stu
dents into touch with the younger
and less successful ones, tends to
weld old and young into one COM
pact body. Again, the organ
ization, realizing the necessity Of a
common medium, has founded a BIZ
monthly publication, The Alumni
Bulletin. This magazine is han
died exclusively by the members,
and it's pages TEEN with articles
and write-ups full of college en-
thusiasm and seasoned by the
saner views Of the older and more
experienced alumni. For this and
other reasons we believe that the
st. Thomas College Alumni Asso-
citation may well be a pattern to
be followed by the majority Of col
leges.

.PAPAL INFLUENCE SUSPENDED
LETTERS OF PRISONERS OF WAR
WILL NOT BE FORWARDED
HEREAFTER.

The Office of communication with
prisoners, established at the Vatican,
announces:-''In order to avoid SIMS
ter interpretations regarding the charit-
able transmission OF letters for pris-
oners of war, and especially to pre-
vent the spreading of caiumnies about
espionage exercised or favoured by
the Holy See, which some papers have
had the audacity to affirm, the Holy
See has, to it's regret, come to the
conclusion that such transmission
must be Suspended" The offices of
the Secretariate Of State for communi.
cation between prisoners and their
families have done an immense char
liable work. 1t began in the early
days of the war, when many people,
unable to get definite news, applied
to the Pope as one who could get in
touch with all parties. The Holy
Father at once saw an opportunity for
alternating suffering, and the Vatican
offices grew, and kept growing; also
the Catholic Bishops throughout the
fighting countries helped by sending
news home on behalf Of prisoners
who might not, or perhaps could not,
write themselves. Mgr. Marchetti has
been in Switzerland for long time
on mission which is specially con-
nected with this work of transmission
of information to and from prisoners.
Our correspondent cOnfesses that he
has not seen in any of the DrinciDal
Italian papers any suggestion of
espionage, such as is referred to in
the communique, but it is easy to I'M
derstand how some INSCRIPTIONS jour
nalist might see his opportunity for a
telling paragraph. Still, though the
transmission of letters is. suspended,
that does not mean that the Bureau
of Information at the Vatican is
closed. The charitable and wide
spread work goes on there just the
same.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS.

The secret of strength and sue
cess in a public body of men may
be summed up in the American
motto, &c Pluribus Unum' One
out of many. Where a body af-
fecting many individuals is to be
banded it is necessary that unity
of purpose, of aim, and of ener-
gies, be directed intelligently to-
wards the desired goal. This is
so true and evident that it were a
platitude to elaborate it.
Taking a specific case, we notice
increased activity throughout the
country on the part of college
alumni associations. Every insti-
tuition of learning, of whatever
material or intellectual calibre,
boasts an organization of former
students. As a general rule, how
ever, an alumni association is a
very colorless thing. In the field
of organized effort it presents an
emaciated and anaemic appear
ance. Alongside of fraternal and
social organizations the alumni as
ISOLATION looks very much like an
ethereal shadow. As a rule, the
cause of this forlorn appearance is
to be found in the want of energy
or the lack of understanding in
those who direct its destinies.
Hence the activities of such an ag-
gregation may be summed up in,
an annual meeting, dues (for
what?), and a so-called annual
banquet, wherein a few half-heart-
ed members agitate the surround
ing atmosphere with a few Yapid
rawlings.

MARRIAGE IN BURLEsQUE.

Recently in one of our large
cities a marriage ceremony was
performed in public skating
rink. The whole performance
was staged much in the nature of
a circus, the officiating clergyman
acting as the clown. The happy
couple" together with the min
lister, were on roller skates, and
the tying Of the knot. was fol
lowed by grand march in which,
we are told, three thousand peo-
pie took part on roller skates. AS
a performance it was, doubtless,
a huge success; as a religious cere-
mony Of solemn import, it was one
more reason why Protestants con-
tinue to throng the divorce. courts.
A spectator thus comments: eve
have seen men Of the cloth in
many ridiculous positions, but
never have we encountered one
looking so much like a clown as
this minister did on this occasion.
The idea Of an anointed apostle
Of holiness making a circus Of the
most sacred thing in life is shock
ing enough; to see him posing for
a camera man with movie
actor s SNUG egotism on his
visage is to shatter our faith in
the sincerity and sanctity of a good
many preachers of the gospel. !"
We may add that local preacher
has published an article in which
he describes and glories in the
many circus-like marriages he has
performed.
God Almighty himself sanctions
marriage as the closest bond that
could unite man and woman. He
cast about it all the safeguards
of religious solemnity, adding
severe penalties for it's desecra-
ton. The Catholic Church looked
upon Christian marriage as so
sacred thing that she permitted
Henry VIII to lead ENGLAND out of
the true fold rather than sanction
his trifing with the sacred bond.
The churches that permit divorce
and that tolerate such fantastic
capers before high heaven are
surely to be pitied. 1t is precisely
this travesty of matrimony, this
trifing with the Gospel, and utter
disregard for the essentials of re-
ligion that have brought the
Protestant churches to a point
where religion is but an ethical
society and the church merely a
clubhouse.

.LONDON's CHIEF MAGISTRATE
SIR WILLIAM DUNN, NEW LORD
MAYOR, INAUGURATED THURS
DAY OF LAST WEEK.

1t has recently become known that
Sir William Dunn, the new Lord
Mayor of London, whose inauguration
took place Thursday of last week
won his election to office by the mar.
row majority Of one vote, cast by his
chief magistracy of the city. AS a
general rule the election Of Lord
Mayor is a matter of mere form, and
either unanimous or almost So But
there seems to have been a consider
able amount of opposition to Sir Will
His father was connected with the
management of the huge estates OF
the Duke of Norfolk, premier peer OF
the realm and acknowledged leader Of
the Catholic aristocracy of England,
and Sir William himself grew UP,
therefore, to a great extent, under
the auspices Of the Gucal house of
Howard, the heads Of which took a
personal interest in his education.
On the occasion of his election the
other day the proceedings were pre-
sided over by the outgoing Lord
Mayor, and when they eliminated in
a tie it was the present Lord Mayor
who gave the casting vote in his favor.
The result is that Sir William
Dunn is now known as "the Lord
Mayors Lord Mayor" it being Under
stood that this is the first occasion
on which a chief magistrate of the
city of London has been virtually
called upon to determine the selection
and the appointment of his successor
in Office.

SERVING MARY BY TEMPERANCE.

Love is the only coin of Christ's
Kingdom and all else is counterfeit
By it alone is all the law fulfilled
and by it alone are the favors of His
Kingdom obtained. Many Christian
wonders that his prayers are not more
profitable, who has not yet learned to
pray Alright. Building shrines and
making votive offerings may help to
make Mary loved of men but not
always. Such things may be senseless
monuments to vanity, rather than
magnets for human hearts. The way
ward son who mistakes a natural ten
derness for his mother for a genuine
love for her may give her houses, and
automobiles, and everything that he
is willing to give away. But that
mother wants his heart and the love
which only a clean heart can give.
She may accept the tokens of his
tender thought of her, but she hungers
for that gift which alone can fill up
her hearts desire. So it were better
that, instead of shrines to Mary and
costly gifts, we give her our love and
win for her the love of others.
He who protects the Blessed Mother
from a single blasphemy uttered
against her Divine Son; or wards off
some threatening sin; or renders any
service that love dictates, will do more
than he can hope to do who enriches
her shrines with costly gifts. Better
far to get drunkard to become sober.
or to save boy from a drunkard's
fate, than to offer many novenas made
for selfish ends. Not that shrines are
of small value or novenas of little
effect, for by them are largely fulfilled
that great prophecy of Mary, Behold
from henceforth all nations shall call
me blessed" But they must be in
spired by love and must not fail in
an intelligent appreciation of that
ultimate purpose of all religious sym.
bols-the salvation of souls.
Every pledge of total abstinence will
gladden. our mother by the greater
assurance of safety for one more of
her children. The establishment of a
temperance society will bless those
who ward off from her the cruel sting
with which drunkenness in her chill
dren wounds her. Build up the King
dom of her Divine Son and her ma
ternal blessing will be upon the build
ers. Temperance is one Of the four
cornerstones of that Kingdom. Make
men sober and you will make glad the
heart of Mary. Let us then sing the
praises of Mary with love and iovr
Let us breathe in devotion to her with
every breath of spring! Her month
is the month of the earth's awakeninpI
Let us be glad in these days! Let nc
gladden. our Blessed Mother by gifts
Of love and thoughtful service,

c USTOM IN ROM {
POPE SINGS MASS THREE TIMES
"A YEAR.

On three occasions in the year the
Pope sings Mass: the Feast of the
Nativity, Easter and the Feast of St
Peter The vestments used for these
Masses include, beside the usual vest,
ments, worn by bishop when pontifi-
eating, also the falda, and attached to
his golden girdle is a kind of aims
bag, which since the time Of Benedict
XIII has taken the form of maniple.
Over the stole he puts on another
special Papal article of attire, the
fanon, which is collar, or cape, made
of two fiounces of white silk rayed
with gold and purple. When the
chasuble is put on, the upper fiounce
of the fanon is settled over the vest
ment, the lower one remaining hidden.
Some writer's say the fanon recalls the
two Testaments- the Old abrogated
and the New made clear.

THANKSGIVING.

The spirit of thankfulness to the
Deity is we'll nigh as old as civili-
zation. The ancients had prayers
and festivals to commemorate
planting in the Spring: festivals
and prayers Of gratefulness to the
gods for a bounteous harvest in
the Fall. The early Christian
Church also recognized the divine
bounty from which all blessings
flow. The fields and budding crops
were believed with the blessing of
the Church and God was implored
that the harvest might be plen-
teous. 1t remained for the civil
government of our own America
to declare a day Of universal
thankfulness to God for His favors
during the year. America, called
often a Goddess nation, falls on her
knees on one special occasion
every year, and pours out senti-
ments of gratitude to the God
above. The early colonists had a
particular reason for returning
thanks, their rescue from immi-
nent starvation. We all are bound
by the same obligation to render
the homage Of thanks to God for
personal as we'll as for national
benefits.
Gratitude is one of the nobler
Of natural virtues: it is the virtue
praised in the leper who returned
to give thanks after the other nine
had gone on their way, needless of
their duty. 1t is the quality Of a
noble soul, a badge Of real soul
nobility, to recognize the source
whence favors have come to us.
We teach it to the child: we ex-
pect it from the adult. We scorn
the niggard, him who refuses the
need of appreciation which the
benefactor deserves.
Needless were it to dwell upon
the necessity of rendering thanks
in a most especial way this year.
The horrors Of the world war are
familiar to all readers those same
horrors would now be at our own
doors, would now grip into our
very flesh, were it not for the
hand of an all-merciful God. This
alone would suffice to elicit our
deepest emotions of gratitude. All
things, moreover, which we enjoy
have come to us from this same
God: health, friends, happiness.
Just as surely as we ourselves have
come forth from the hand of God,
so have all the goods of life flown
down to us from His bounty. On
Thanksgiving Day, therefore, let
us not forget to raise our hearts
to God in grateful recognition of
all that His Providence has meant
to us.
