parochial school; and thirdly, on &C.
coupt of the carelessness of parents
in the practice of their religion. AS
a result of the want of proper instruc-
ton, and the influence of the example
of the non-Catholic father or mother,
the greater part of the children, when
grown up, do not attend church or ap-
proach the sacraments. Our assertion
is fully borne out by a canvass made
some years ago in the City of Chicago,
by the agents of non-Catholic organi-
cation, acting in cooperation with the
Federal Census Bureau. They found
that in families, both parents of which
are Catholic, eight out of a hundred
young men do not attend Church; but
out of hundred young men of mixed
marriages &c are not church members.
What stronger proof could be. desired
to show the dangers to which those
who contract a mixed marriage eX.
pose the salvation of their children
as well as of themselves. How can
they hope to save their own souls
when they jeopardize the salvation of
the children that God may entrust to
their care? What anxiety must fill
the heart of Catholic mother, when
dying on hearing the sobs of her help
less children, who will most probably
soon be under the care of non-Oath
Ollie stepmother and educated in a
false religion or without any religion?
Does not every Catholic young lady
keeping company with a non-Catholic
expose herself to the danger of such
anxiety at the moment of death? And
how difficult is it not for a man to
raise his children in the true faith, if
the mother is a stranger to that faith?
What excuse can he bring on the great
day of reckoning?
Parents should remember the sac
red duty of guarding their sons and
daughters against the dangers to
which inexperience may expose them.
Yet there are parents so blind to the
true interests of their children, or SO
cruel as not only to allow, but even
to advise and urge them to-. risk these
evils for the sake of some temporal
advantage.
'Do not delude yourselves by think
ing that when the conditions required
by the Church are promised, all objec-
lions are removed, and that love and
attachment are sufficient reasons for
disregarding her laws. Do not delude
yourselves with the too often vain hope
that the readily given pledges will not
be violated. Thanks be to God, there
are cases in which the promises given
before marriage have been kept, and
with Gods grace, the non-Catholic
party has been gained over to the true
faith by. the prayers and the edifica7
ton of the Catholic husband and wife.
But we cannot conceal from ourselves
the fact that, far from being the rule,
these cases are only the exception"

THE EASTER DUTY.

My Dear Reader, allow me to ask
you plain, but for me, a priest, a fair
question, says John M. Lyons, S. j.
Certainly" your answer, What is
it," Well, it is this: Have you re-
ceived your Easter Communion this
year?" why, Father" perhaps you
exclaim, what question! OF course
/ have | am, thank God, a frequent
communicate, and am even trying to
receive every day Happy the one
who can thus answer the above ques-
ton!
But, alas, how many ones answer
must be quite the opposite! 1t must
in substance be: NO, Father, have
not yet received my Easter Commun,
ion; and, what is. worse, l am sorry
to say that it is years since l have
been to the Sacramento"
Yes, such substantially must be the
answer of scores, and hundreds, and
thousands of our Catholics of every
nationality in various parts of the
country. 1t is shocking, it is appall-
ing, to learn on investigation how vast
is the army of men and women, Of
young boys and girls, who allow the
Easter season to go by without ap-
preaching the Holy Table. Can we be-
lieve that they would act as they do
if they understood how serious it is to
neglect this duty, and how easy to
fulfill it?
What Kind of a Sin Is 1t to Neglect
Ones Easter Communion?
You, yourself, can answer this ques-
ton. You have only to recall the
teaching of your catechism. The
neglect of ones Easter Communion,
as you well know, is a very great sin;
it is a mortal sin; it is sin which, if
found on your soul at the hour of your
death, will exclude you from heaven;
it is a sin which will make you de-
serve to hear those awful words of
condemnation from our merciful but
Just Judge: Depart from Me, We
cursed, into everlasting fire. st. Mat
thew XIV, Al hEE
Truly then, it is no slight matter to
keep away, through your own fault,
from your Easter Communion. Elk
cept you eat the flesh of the Son of
Man, and drink His blood, you shall
not have life in you"-St. John vi,
"a. If you do not receive Holy Com
munion once year, and that during
the Paschal Season, there is no life,
no spiritual, supernatural life, in your
soul.
Love, Rather Than Fear, Should
Prompt Us to Receive Holy

But, of course, it is love mainly, and

this as the kind of Misrepresentation
that Cornwell has been resorting 10 IN

Committee, and Morgan Owen, Chair
man of the Speakers Bureau Of the Re
publican State Committee, in which
Invitations were extended TO him ask
ing him to speak in behalf OF the Re
publican ticket These invitations
were extended to the Governor at rne
r-Fery beginning Of the campaign. AS
I usual Mr.. Cornwell was drawing on
that fertile imagination that was 80 a2-
tive In similar campaign twelve years
ago. It is now more clear than ever
that the Democrats have been reduced
to but one, appeal. to prejudice. 1t IS
.cthe same appeal that was made against
Mr.. Dawson by Mr.. Cornwell, and
against every Republican candidate
during the sixteen years, including
Governor Hatfield, when he was can
didate four years ago.

achievements stand unchallenged and
interchangeable. All efforts OF the

NEITHER TO BE TRUSTED

The Democratic press and speak
ers Of West Virginia are falsely accus-
ing the Republican administration OF
State affairs OF extravaganza. They
fail to point to one specific instance
of extravagant expenditure of the pub
lie funds. The inconsistent part of the
West Virginia Democrats in profession
to economical virtues falls flat when
We look over the record made by the
National Democracy. The Baltimore
platform Of 1912 denounced the Repub-
licans for the profligate waste OF
money wrung from the people, through
the lavish appropriations of recent
Republican Congresses which have
kept taxes high and reduced the pu--
chasing power OF the peoples toll"
They, too. promised many things in the
name OF that ''simplicity and economy
which BELTS a democratic govern
ment." Let's see how they performed
in reducing the taxes they claimed
were "wrung from the people through
the lavish appropriations Of recent Re-
publican Congress.

VERY CHEAP CLAP TRAP

Mr.. Wilson is not only avoiding a
direct discussion OF the issues In this
campaign but Is resorting to bold mis-.
representation to bolster up his wan
ing cause. Mr.. Fairbanks at Los An
geles very properly characterized as
"a base utterance" the charge made by
the President last Saturday at Shade"
Lawn, that the prospect OF Repuhli-
can success meant war" This asser-
ton was supplemented by another that
"a very great body Of the supporters
of that party outspokenly declare that
they want war" Making all due allow
ance for Mr.. Wilson's overpowerlng
ambition for reelection, and for the
desperation which is his, as he per-
ceives 10 how great an extent the
American people disapprove OF his adj
ministration. it is still appalling to see
the Chief Executive Of the United
States seeking, to further his political
fortunes by such bald misstatements
of fact, statements which no one OF his
intelligence can fail to appreciate are
absolutely contradictory Of the truth.
Furthermore, Mr.. Wilson must know.
if he is to be given credit for any in
telligence, that war Is the last thing
which Mr. Hughes desires. and that
the assertion that his election woulo
result in involving this country in the
European war is the cheapest kind OF
political clap-trap, clap-trap unworthy
of even a third rate Democratic spell
binder Mr.. Hughes has made his po-
sition plain on every occasion. He
stands not for war but honorable
peace Recalling his speech Of accept
ance the Republican candidate for
President will be found to have been
quite explicit on this subject 1T is
great mistake" said Mr.. Hughes, 10
say that resoluteness in. protecting
American rights would have led 10
war. Rather In that course lay the
best assurance Of peace. Weakness
and indecision in the maintenance ur
known rights are always sources Of
grave danger; they forfeit respect and
invite serious wrongs, which in turn
create an uncomfortable popular re-
sentiment. That is not the path Of ma
tional security. Not only have we a
host Of resources short Of war 10 EN-
force our just demands, but we shall
never promote our peace by being
stronger in words than in deeds" NJ.
Hughes might have added that one or
the surest methods of inviting war
was for the President publicly to not
ify a great and powerful belligerent
that 1t would be held to Strict 40
countability" and then privately to
send word to it's Ambassador that the
Presidents words were mot to be TAX
en- too seriously"
