THE POPE OF PEACE.

Next Sunday, September 3, is
the second anniversary of the
election of our Holy Father, Pope
Benedict XIV, to the supreme
rulership Of the Church of Christ,
and September 6, is the anniver-
sary of his coronation in st.
Peters. These have been event
full years. Indeed, they are
among the most memorable in the
history of the world. Pope Bene
dict was chosen to preside over
the destiny Of the Church in peril
GUS days and in all his actions
he has given evidence Of a master
ly grasp of world problems as they
affect religion and has shown a
statesmanlike ability in providing
remedies for the evils which afflict
humanity. 1t is true he has not
succeeded in bringing about
cessation of hostilities; but when
the time is ripe for peace we may
rest assured that he will use all
the influence Of his exalted posi-
ton to harmonic the relations
between the belligerents. From
the time he assembled the Papal
Throne he has not ceased to pray
for peace and to call upon his
children in all parts Of the world
to pour forth their most fervent
petitions for his intention. He has
succeeded in effecting an exchange
of war prisoners between different
nations, and where that was i'm
possible, an amelioration Of the
conditions in the various concen-
tration camps of Europe. In a
hundred ways he has earned the
title Of Pope Of Peace by which,
in all probability, he will be
known to future generations.

ACTA EFT DICTA.

All who are interested in the
history Of the origin and growth
of the Catholic Church in Mime
sofa and the Northwest should
show an interest in the work of
the Catholic Historical Society of
st. Paul, either by contributing to
its support or by entrusting to it's
keeping any documents or records
of historic import which may be
in their possession. The Society
has just published another num-
Der Of the official 'Acta Et Dicta, "
and copies of it can be procured
from the editor, Rev. VIM. Busch
of the st. Paul Seminary.
The current issue of "Acta Et
Dicta" possesses a special interest
for the Catholics of Minnesota
and especially Of the Diocese of
st. Paul. 1t contains the first
installment of the Life of Bishop
Cretin, " the first Bishop Of this
See, by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Ireland. This biography
is an important contribution to
the history Of the Catholic Church
IN the United States and especial
ly in Minnesota. Since Bishop
Cretin came to st. Paul, and to
the then territory of Minnesota,
in the year 1851-seven years
before the organization Of our
State gOvernment-the period Of
his, labors covers precisely the
period Of the beginnings of our
State, days of peculiar interest to
us as Catholics and citizens.
In addition to this biography,
the story of the Church in Wright
and Goodhue Counties is told by
priests who labored in these local
tiles for many years and who are
familiar with the growth and de-
velopment of religion in these sec
lions Of the State. The letters Of
Bishop Loras, first Bishop of
Dubuque, who visited Fort Smell
ling in the year 1889, and soon
after sent to the Catholics of that
locality Minnesota resident
priest, the Rev. Lucien Galtier, are
of special value for the informa-
ton they give about the condi-
tons confronting that pioneer mis-
sionary in the early days Of his
American ministry. These and
many other historical articles make
up the contents Of the present issue
and We hope that not a few of our
readers are sufficiently interested in
the work the Society is doing to
send a dollar to the editor of
Acta Et Dicta" for a copy.

SAFETY FIRST FOR HIS SON.

Not long ago minister present
ed himself at Catholic university
with his son. He said he had
brought the boy there because
he was certain that his religious
ideas would not be jeopardized.
Cline was," says the New York
World, commenting on the Incl
dent, "when most good Protestant
folks thought that every Catholic
educational institution had as one
Of it's primary aims the railroad
ing into the Church Of as many
unsuspecting non-Catholic youths
or maidens as might, through
frailty or accident, be enrolled
among it's students.
Now, with the exception of a
few bigots whose influence is neg
ligible, they have arrived at the
truth, which is that Catholic
schools take the lead among those
that still refuse to pay tribute to
a science unrelated so far as one
can discern to any spiritual con-
cept whatsoever.
True, the Catholic Church is
glad to welcome to her fold young
men or young women who may
have attended her academies or
colleges and who, after mature re-
Election, find themselves in agree
ment with the doctrine she teach
es, but, first and foremost, the
Catholic school is anxious to pre-
serve in it's Protestant pupils such
elements of religious truth as they
may hold when they enter its
classrooms. It's tendency is most
certainly not to undermine any
one s faith. It takes from no man
what he has and it adds richly to
the store he already possesses. In
religious sense, that is more than
can be said for the vast majority
OF other schools.

MISSION FESTIVAL
SARY OF FOUNDING OF SAN
FRANCISCO MISSION.

More than 5000 persons from San
Fernando, Lankershim and Los Ange-
les, Cal, participated on August 7 in
the Candle Day celebration held at
the San Francisco Mission on the
147th anniversary of its founding by
the franciscan Fathers of Spain.
AS in the eighteenth century, when
the mission f1ourished in the care of
the pioneer priests who directed it's
building, Mass was celebrated by
Father Theophilus Richardt, who was
the chief representative of the
Catholic clergy to take part in the
ceremonies of the day. The spirit of
1869 seemed to rise personified from
the silent, decaying walls of the old
building Once again it being the
place of refuge for the weary So
journer who, with sword and breast
plate and the keen eye of the soldier
of fortune, had left the gay life of
Spain to follow Cortez or Tovar.
1t was a gala day throng that moved
to and fro about the mission grounds.
There were members of the Hidalgos
of Misunderstanding conquistadores
with plumed hats, velvet coats, high
russell leather boots and COATES and
swords; there were pretty Spanish
senoritas with spangled costumes in
which the colors of yellow and red
predominated.
A real Spanish barbecue was the
feature of the noontide. Beef that
was spitted over slow fire and
tortillos, frijoles and chilli were on
the bill of fare The feast was free
to allcomers. Among those who at
tended the mission anniversary ex-
ercises were Rabbi Hecht and Joseph
Scott, of Los Angeles. Both made
brief addresses.
More than 5000 candles, that had
been sold for dollar apiece for the
of the old mission, were
lighted by the dainty hand of Miss
Del Vale and score of other young
women.

Many Catholic young men-and
old men, too-who have at their
fingers ends the records of all the
prominent baseball players in the
country and the scores and batting
averages of the various teams,
would find it difficult to enumerate
the different colors of the vest
ments worn at Mass and to tell
their significance, or to give a list
of the best religious books to place
in the hands of a prospective con-
vert anxious to get a correct idea
of Catholic teaching. How many
fans" who can name the mem
bers of a baseball team can enum-
crate the eight Beatitudes or the
seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost; and
yet, is it too much to expect that a
Catholic of ordinary intelligence
will retain such familiarity with

as will enable him to tell an en-.

English society and English pub
lie opinion had little power. They
were hostile, harassing and repul-
sive. Now they are far more per-
ilous; being bland, insidious and
seducing. Public opinion is Prot
estant, and Professionalism is form
ally opposed to the idea of a
church divinely constituted and
endowed. The first principles and
maxims of Catholic education
such as submission to teaching
authority, fear Of error, mistrust
Of our judgments-are extinct.
This spirit begins in our schools,
pervades our universities, and ami
mates the whole of English soci-
ETY.. We cannot draw breath with
out inhaling it; and the effect Of it
is visible upon men who do not
suspect themselves Of any want Of
Catholic instinct. 1t has become
unconscious; and what strikes and
offends foreign Catholics is hard
ly, or not at all, perceived by
those who are born into this at
mosphere. "

ENGLAND'S DRINK TROUBLES.

Cardinal Bourne is following in the
footsteps of Cardinal Manning as an
advocate of temperance. To the re-
cent meeting of religious leaders in
England, the Church was called in
the person of Cardinal Bourne. His
Emlnence advocated that restrictions
imposed by wartime on the liquor
traffic should be carried on into peace
time. The resolution to this effect
put by the Cardinal was universally
carried by the assembled delegates.
His Eminence, however, expressed
himself as not at all satisfied with
some of the present preventive pro-
visions. He drew a CHASTITY picture
of the drunken scenes which often
take place around the big railway sta
tions and the other scenes caused out
side public houses by the rule that
children may not be admitted. This
rule does not, however, prevent the
child being left without by neglectful
parents, exposed to other dangers,
nor does it prevent parents from TAX
ing their drink outside and admins
tering it in the public thoroughfare
to infants in arms. The Cardinal also
pleaded for some counter-attraction
to public houses. In doing so he did
the poor justice, and pointed out that
it was the social side of the public
house which attracted the men. 1t
was his club, and in order to make
use of it he had to drink. Drinking
would continue and the effect of drink
would not be curtailed until other
means of recreation were provided.

NON-CATHOLIC ATMOSPHERE
IN EDUCATION.

It is unnecessary to reiterate
what has been said so frequently
in this and other Catholic publ
cations about the necessity of
Catholic pupils attending Cath
Ollie schools. In this day of
radical and rationalistic ideas,
the only education which is
of any value is that which safe
guards the moral well-being of the
pupil; and even if there be no di-
rect attack made on his conscien-
tious convictions in a non-Catholic
school there is always to be feared
the danger that arises from non
Catholic surroundings and an at
mosphere impregnated with the
spirit Of the age. On this point
Catholic parents in this country
might with profit take to heart
the statement of Cardinal Man
ming, Archbishop of Westmin-
ster, on the dangers that Turk in
the non-Catholic educational in
situations.
In his essay on "The Work and
Wants of the Catholic Church in
England, originally published in
the Dublin Review of July, 1863,
the Cardinal takes up the argu-
ments in regard to the establish
ment of a Catholic university in
England, at that time the subject
OF much discussion. He points out
in particular and with great en-
phasis the insidious errors which
are taught in non-Catholic univer-
sites in England and which are
almost inseparably connected with
such places. The idea which he
expresses at several times, and
which is well applicable to condi-
lions in our own country at the
present day, is powerfully stated
in the following paragraph:
Zone copious and manifold
source of danger is the anti-Cath-
olic atmosphere-the Germans
would call it the time-spirit-or
the dominant current of thought
and action which pervades the age
and society in which we are born.
No one wholly escapes its infiu-
ence; most are deeply penetrated
by it. We doubt whether it was
so dangerous to Catholics before
the emancipation as it is now. In
those days the direct action of per-
scouting laws ground down and
bore down the courage of multi
tndes. But the allurements of

OUTRAGING RELIGIOUS CON
VICTIONS.

Colonel George 7. Vickers of
the Fourth Regiment stationed at
Douglas, Arizona, has found it
necessary to make excuses for his
failure to recognize the American
principle Of individual religious
liberty, but without much success.
1t seems that on a recent Sunday,
Colonel Vickers ordered all the
officers and men Of his command
to attend the Protestant regi-
mental service conducted by
Chaplain Hare of his regiment,
assisted by Chaplain Gulick of the
Fifth Regiment. When many of
the men protested, he sent Lieu
tenant Connel to tell them that
ANY one who failed to obey his
order would be arrested. AS re-
suit, the men were forced to go
to a Protestant service. Among
them were many Catholics who
objected on the ground that they
should not be obliged to attend a
non-Catholic service but should be
allowed to attend the Mass cele-
brated on the camp grounds.
1t would be interesting to know
what authority Colonel Vickers
imagined he had for such a drastic
order. As we understand it, such
a command was entirely at vari-
ance with the army regulations,
as it certainly is subversive of the
constitutional provision granting
to every citizen the right to wor-
ship God in accordance with the
dictates Of his conscience. If the
facts be as stated, and we have
no reason to doubt them, Colonel
Vickers is evidently so poorly
qualified for the position which

It seems that the experiment of
"CathOlic Week" is not to be re-
peated in the immediate future.
The national organizations which
held their annual conventions last
week in New York City will meet
in different cities next year. 1t
will require some time to deter
mine whether or not repetition
of "CathOlic Week" would be for
the benefit Of the societies taking
part in it. Many delegates are in
terested in more than one society
and it is impossible for them to
participate in their deliberations
when the conventions are held at
the same time and in the same
city. However, this Capitalization
of Catholic activity for one week
in a given city has much to recon-
mend it and its advantages should
not be lightly passed over,

At the recent convention of the
Catholic Press Association held in
New York, Mr.. Arthur Benning-
ton of the New York World read
an interesting paper on "The
Presentation Of News" in which
he claimed that "the present day
Catholic papers must be sensation
al, owing to the pace at which the
world is travelling"
If Mr.. Bennington used the
word sensational" ,in the ordi-
nary acceptation Of the term, then
it is quite evident that a Catholic
paper should not possess this char
acteristic. The sensational papers
of the present are those which
dedicate their pages to the pres
entation of the lurid details of
crime, scandal and debauchery
and pander to the baser appetites
of their readers. The only sense
in which a Catholic paper can be
sensational is in presenting inter-
esting news in such a way that it
will make a striking appeal to it's
readers. In this regard, perhaps,
there is room for Improvement in
the makeup and selections of
many papers; but part of their
work is to offer an antidote to the
sensational press of modern times.
This they do in manner which
meets with the commentator of
intelligent people of all classes.

A JUST ARRANGEMENT,

But there is little to be said for the
saloon, practically nothing. Whatever
one may think of personal liberty. the
saloon has never stood for personal
liberty. 1t has in it's days robbed more
men of personal liberty than all other
institutions together. 1t has de-
bauched them, robbed them of their
reason, it has landed them in iails and
penitentiaries and it has immersed
their wives and children in poverty
and misery that are worse than tails
and penitentiaries. The saloon has
been a despoiler in its day and the
men who have stood back of the bars
have not been animated by any high
ideas of personal liberty. With them
it has been profits, even If the price
were damnation of SOULS

he occupies that he ought to be
deprived of all authority in the
regiment. The Catholic soldiers
were within their rights in pro
testing against this drastic order,
even as Protestant soldiers would
be justified in Directing to attend
ing Catholic service under the
circumstances. SO fragrant an
outrage on religious liberty should
not go unrebuked by Colonel
Vickers' superior officers.
