The Canadian immigration au
thorities prevented Pastor Russell
of Brooklyn, who recently visited
Minneapolis, from entering the
Dominion last week. He was tax
EN- from a train at Gretna, near the
Canadian boundary, and put on
board a train going south. No ex-
PLANTATION was offered for the ac-
ton. -'.'....-...'.
Canada loses nothing by the en-
forced exclusion Of Pastor Russell
from its borders. He has no mes
sage of any value to, the public.
As a matter OF fact, his so-called
sermons are more than ninety-nine
per cent bosh. The only gospel
flavor they have is the text and
that is made pretext for irrelig-
ious defamation and unorthodox
ranting.

In obedience to the instructions
of Pope Benedict, Monsignor
Dolci, Apostolic Delegate at Con-
stantinople, recently appealed to
the Turkish government to safe
guard the burial places of the
soldiers of the Allies who fell dur
ing the struggle on the Gallipolis
peninsula. The government has
now agreed to comply with the
Holy Fathers request, and has
ordered that the graves be fenced,
that crosses be erected over them,
and that steps be taken to care
for them in the future.

BISHOP STUNTZ IN SIOUX
FALLS.

AS an instance of what an in
telligent and wide-awake Catholic
and woman at that-can do
we cite the following: Last week
the Methodist Bishop, Homer G.
Stuntz, was scheduled to give his
Chautauqua lecture on South
America in Sioux Falls, S. D. Ear
ly in the day on which he was to
appear, prominent Catholic
woman telephoned to Mr.. Olson,
chairman Of the local commit
tee, telling him that she had
heard that Bishop Stuntz' lecture
contained references which were
offensive to Catholics and warning
him that if the lecturer repeated
these statements the Catholics
would make public protest by
leaving the tent and withdrawing
their patronage from the Chautau-
qua movement. Mr.. Olson promis-
ed to interview Bishop Stuntz be-
fore the lecture, which he did, and
no reference at all was made to
religious conditions in South
America. Bishop Stuntz maintain
ed that his remarks had been mis-
understood.
We congratulate this Catholic
woman on her zeal and enlighten-
ed concern for the interests Of the
Church. When the matter came
to her attention she did not wait
for others to act or say that it was
not her personal concern but, in
the absence Of the local pastor,
she took it upon herself to make
protest on behalf of the Catholics
Of Sioux Falls, and the lecture was
expurgated.
The action Of this Catholic
woman, whose name we would
gladly mention did she not shun
the publicity which it would in
volve, shows what can be done by
the watchful, earnest and intelli-
gent Catholic men and women of
any community. 1t is unfortunate
that Catholic people do not real
ize their strength and do not take
advantage Of their numbers and
prominence to defend themselves
against unmerited attacks on ac-
count of their religious convic-
tions. They should, Of course,
follow the biblical injunction; but
after they have turned the "other
cheek" they are not counselled to
allow every perambulating biped
who assails their character to
walk over them.
The letter conveying the facts
herein mentioned, written by
another energetic Catholic woman
of Sioux Falls, concludes as fol
lows: eve have to thank The
Catholic Bulletin for keeping us
Informed of such lecturers, and
indicating the methods to be used
in preventing such offensive
statements. +"

POISoN-PEN WRITER'S.

We commend to the attention Of
the polecat'' press and all writ
ers whose stock-in-trade is the vii
ification of their betters, the fol-
lowing editorial from the Chris
tan Herald of July 5.
"The editor Of college maya
zine in a Western university was
too free with his pen. The name of
the paper was the Research, but
with him it was the Sword, with
which he cut right and left,
wounding those who disagreed
with him and especially those
against whom he had personal
grievance. Four of the men he
had slandered caught him, carried
him out into the country, cut his
hair IN jagged rows, painted his
face with iodine, and then let the
yellow victim go. Added to

A LAWYER WHO CHANGED HIS
MIND.

At the opening meeting of the dry
o. j. Larson, chairman, told how he
had changed front on the liquor ques-
ton. He said:
Il have never taken part in the
temperance movement, and frankness
compels me to confess that | have not
always been total abstainer. | have
looked askance at Prohibitionists, and
regarded them as impractical, vision
airy reformers, attempting to accom-
plish the impossible. But have
changed my mind. I now believe with
John Mitchell, the great Labor leader,
that the happiness and progress of
this nation depend more upon the
liquor question than upon any other
question: My present attitude is not
the result of emotionalism, but the
result of observance, experience asd
study. | have tried to reach the right
solution, which would meet with the
approval of my judgment and con-
science.
My mind is made up and am
ready 10 take my SIdnQ with those
who believe that the saloon is real
menace, and should be exterminated.
am no longer neutral in thought,
speech or action"
In referring to his experience which
was contributing factor in bringing
about his change of attitude, Mr.. Lar
son said:
For six years | was prosecuting
attorney in county in Michigan. and
I know that during that time SIS per
cent of the crime in the country was
due to drink. cannot recall a single
case of murder during that time which
was not, directly or indirectly. due
to liquor. have defended MANY men
for murder, too, within the past four
months, and in every case drink was
the cause of the homicide"
Touching on the economic side Of
the question, Mr.. Larson said that for
every dollar of the $165,O0O received
by Duluth in liquor license money.
the people are taxed sixteen 10 care

An anti-Catholic lecturer, A. ID.
Bullman by name, was forced to
draw an automatic pistol to de-
fend himself from a score OF men
who protested against his state

evidence of preparedness" on

The salutary effect of the no
license law now in force in Mani
toba is indicated by the fact that
there has not been an arrest for
drunkenness in the Brandon or
Virden districts since the Province
went dry. This statement was
made last week by J. A. MacLean,
chief liquor license Inspector.
Brandon is the second largest city
in Manitoba. A straw shows the
way the wind blows.

The prospect of an unusually
"dry" season in Manitoba was en-
HANGED last week by the ruling of
Mr.. Gleason, superintendent and
inspector of the parcel post sys-
TEN, that liquor cannot be sent by
mail into the Province. The mail
order business has kept thirsty
"wets" refreshed; but henceforth
they cannot use His Majesty's mail
to supply their needs. They will
have to rely on express companies
for their supply of liquor shipped
from the nearest "wet" spot in
Ontario.

It is edifying to see Catholic
men doff their hats when passing
a Catholic Church as a mark OF
homage to the God Of the Taber-
nacle Who dwells within. But like
many another good old Catholic
custom, inspired by faith, it is be-
coming less general every day.

Teachers Organized.

ca The organization of teachers
and pupils of different departments into
one harmonized body. The beneficial
result of this method cannot be over
estimated, as it made for breadth OF
view, caused wholesome emulation
and comparison as well as correlation
of the different branches of knowl
edge. Universal" says Hall, "and as
matter of course as this quaternian
| of agencies now is, it first came into
existence in the Occident only five or
six centuries ago, and constitutes the
first bequest of medieval universities
to u.s.
The famous and typical universities
established and fostered by the
Church were those of Bologna, Paris
and Oxford The attendance at these
shrines Of learning was surprisingly
large. While there is a dispute as to
the exact number of students fire.
quenting these three universities
under the aegis of the Church, the
most conservative estimate assures
the following attendance: at Bologna
between 5000 and 1000; at Paris the
same number, and at Oxford between
1900 and $1,000 Universities were
multiplied, modelled and fashioned
after these three The increase was
marvellous indeed; and we are reli-
ably informed that the universities
grew so fast that no less than IS were
established by the Popes and % by
the Catholic Princes before the dis
covery of America by Columbus.
Always the Friend of Education.
l have tried to bring out the fact,
and l hope | may have succeeded,
that the Church has ever been an
ardent promoter of true education; of
that education which prepares man
for complete living and fits him for
| filling various and most honorable
positions in this world and secures
for him place in Gods eternal king
dom. And in doing this work, she
retained whatever she found good
and sound in pagan and ante Chris
tan schools; animating it on the one
hand with Christianity, and on the
other hand adding to it the truths
and principles brought down to earth
by our Blessed Redeemer. In her
catechetical, in her monastic, and in
her cathedral schools, and in her uni
versities she has labored assiduouslg
to promote secular knowledge in its
various branches; but at the same
time she has given due attention to
the one great important affair, the
number of years during his excava-
tions in the cemeteries, the great
archaeologist succeeded in finding
most of them and recomposed on
large table the epitaph which tells
us of the great devotion of Damascus
for the burial places of the Martyrs
and the Saints of the early Church
and at the same time of the great
humility of the Saint who wrote in the
concluding lines:
Here I, Damascus, by Gods grace
Pope,
Wished to have my limbs to rest
But fearing to disturb the ashes Of the
Saints

THE CHURCH AND EDUCATION
MODERN UNIVERSITIES PATTERN
ED AFTER THE UNIVERSITIES
FOUNDED BY THE CHURCH IN
THE MIDDLE AGES.

In an address which he recently
bishop Moeller of Cincinnati, Ohio,
said in part
The Church has not only estab-
lished and encouraged catechetical
schools, monastic schools, cathedral
schools, colleges and academies; but
has also been active in fouraing re-
nowned universities. The Uuiversi-
ties of Paris, of Bologna and of
Oxford owe their origin to the Cath
Ollie Church; and hers is the glory
of having fostered and conducted
the first university on this side of the
Atlantic. There is no denying the
evident fact that the foundations on
which our modern universities are
built, were laid by those in charge of
the Catholic universities in the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, those very
ages which our enemies will still per-
sist in calling the Dark Ages. | had
the pleasure of listening to very
erudite lecture by Professor G.
Stanley Hall, a non-Catholic and a
very fair-minded man, who gives the
done in this great matter of educa-
ton. He contends that many of the
methods and practices in vogue in
the universities of today were first
adopted by the universities establish
ed and fostered by the Popes in the
liz 1ia1
tion to the following:
Standardizing Studies.
(a) The creating and the prescrib-
ing of a standard course of studies,
and thus systematizing and grading
the acquisition of knowledge The
advantages of an acknowledged curri-
culum is obvious to any one familiar
with the problems of education.
CD Instituting periodical examina-
lions in order to ascertain the mental
ability of the students and the prog
ress made in the studies. Thus a new
and splendid stimulus was given to
the acquisition of knowledge. The
examinations were so severe and rig
orous that many students shrank
from submitting to them.
(c) The comforting of degrees for
proficiency. This was an honorable
distinction bestowed upon those who
met certain specified requirements;
but it was accessible to all, no matter
what their rank or station. To OBJ
tain a degree required close applica-
ton and diligent study. Very few
could obtain a degree in less than
seven years, and had to submit to
tests SO severe that many never at
tempted them. How different from
the condition existing in many insti-
tutions of learning today where the
entrance is made so hard, and the
graduations SO very easy! Those able
to succeed in their examination were
permitted to affix to their names the
title of Master of Arts, and Bachelor
of Arts.

much for their letter. But, judging
from some Umpiring on the North
Side recently, some should write
about like this:
