Counted PASSING Automobiles,

B. A. Patterson, residing on the
0vee road miles south Of Willmar,
reports that his daughters for their
own amusement counted the autos
passing by their place between the
hours of 9 a. m. and p. m. on Sat-
urday, circus day. The young ladies
took turns and for each passing auto
a mark was made on q sheet Of paper.
It was found that not less than 575
machines had passed, the big bulk OF
which, of course, were headed fo1
Willmar. Taking this as a basis for
an estimate it would seem that plac
ing the number of automobiles in Will
mar last Saturday at $500 would be
conservative enough. Placing the av
erage price Of each machine at SILT
the automobiles in Willmar on thai
day represented q value of $1,000, 900

The holiday season is at hand
and people who can take advan-
tage of it are already planning
where they will go for the summer
outing. The relative merits of
the different places in which one
may secure the recreation for
which he Graves are being thor
oughly canvassed. In this connec-
ton it must not be forgotten that
there is no vacation in the service
Of God, that the ordinary duties
of religion cannot be set aside
during the vacation months. 1t is
true that many Protestant churches
close during the warm weather;
but the doors of the grand old
Church Of the Ages stand just as
invitingly open during summer
heat as during winter cold. The
Catholic must not forget that he
cannot obtain general dispersal
ton from attendance at Mass dur
ing the summer months and in
seeking place in which to spend
his vacation he will consider. as
the first and most important req
uisite, the facilities for going to
church on Sundays and holydays
of obligation. He will not know
ingly go to locality where it is
impossible for him to hear Mass
on Sunday. Religious duties come
first even in vacation and Catho-
lies who are able to give up their
ordinary work for a time during
summer must still continue to be
faithful to the requirements of the
Church.

SHOWING UP THE pole
CAT.''

The anti-Catholic sheet publish
ed at a little town in Missouri,
was branded as O" a liar" by the
Honorable Ben johnson of Ken
lucky, on the floor Of Congress on
April %, when he showed that It's
statements regarding. the provi-
sions of the johnson Juvenile
Court Bill was utterly false. 1t
had asserted that under the pro
visions Of this bill Protestant
children would BE placed in
Roman Catholic prisons. !" In the
course of his remarks Mr.. johnson
showed that a Presbyterian At
torney General appointed the com
mittee of five that prepared the
bill; that one Of these is a Jew,
one a Catholic, and three are
Protestants that the committee of
the Board of Trade had approved
the bill, that of that committee
only one member was a Catholic,
and that the others were Protes-
tants and Masons; that Congress-
man Tinkham of Massachusetts,
who is in charge of the bill, is a
thirty-second degree Mason; that
the judge of the juvenile court,
who will administer the law,
if enacted, is Judge J. W. Latimer,
who is Protestant and Mason.
Mr.. Johnson assailed the editor of
the scurrilous sheet as "the self
constituted guardian Of liberty
which peddles it's false alarms at
20 cents a year to every gullible
who can be found to buy them. :
He appealed to the Protestants
and Masons in Congress to state
if they believed what the paper
had said. He was generously
applauded >When he finished his
condemnation of this 'polecat" OF
the press.

KING SOLO NJ 0 n

Solomon was the son of David and
Bethsabee, who succeeded his father
as king of Israel, and who reigned in
the tenth century B. G. At the be-
ginning of his reign he was compelled
to contend against the perfidy of his
brother Adonias, who sought to usurp
the royal power, but who failed in his
endeavor, and was put to death by
Solomon's order.
The rule of Solomon was most glori-
Gus. He built in Jerusalem magnifi-
cent temple to the Lord, surrounded
his capital with strong wall, and
adorned it with palaces He also for
titled the principal cities of his king
dom and subdued the neighboring ma
tions, imposing tribute on them, and
extending his kingdom from Egypt to
the Euphrates.
He entered into political and COM
mercial alliance with Hiram of Tyre
and other powers, and extended Israel
itish commerce to all parts of the
known world.
In his old age, however, he fell into
idolatry and debauchery, and was Sc
verely punished for his crimes. Syria
withdrew from subsection to him; and
after his death Jeroboam, one of his
generals, melted ten tribes of the IS
raelites to rebel, and the kingdom was
divided
To Solomon is attributed the author
ship of the "Canticle," "EccIesiastes,"
and the Book of Proverbs" and also,
by some, the Book of Wisdom" The
story of his life Is narrated in 3 Kings
l, XII; and Par. /, TX.

TO WHAT SCHOOL?


s Catholic parents whose children
have graduated from the parochial
school should give serious con-
sideration to the question of their
future education. We would fain
believe that only in rare cases and
under the stress of absolute neces-
sity will many of these children be
deprived of an opportunity to pur-
sue their studies in more advanced
schools. A few, no doubt. will be
obliged to go to work at once to
add their weekly pittance to the
family purse depleted by the many
demands made upon it to support
large family; but the vast
majority of the graduates should
be given a taste Of higher studies.
It is not too early in the season
for parents to give this matter the
consideration which it. deserves

the power of the Pope is immense
in maintaining and enforcing the
moral law of nations. Since the
beginning of the war, the Holy
Father has lost no opportunity to
bring about an amelioration of the
conditions produced by this world
conflict. He has succeeded in
obtaining better treatment for the
prisoners of war of all nations,
has effected an exchange of many
of them, and has aroused the
whole Christian world to a real
ization of the duty of praying for
cessation of hostilities. While
doing this, he is patiently await
ing a favorable opportunity to
intervene in an effective way in
the interests of peace and har-
mony, and the immense influence
which his position as the head of
a worldwide spiritual organiza-
tion enables him to exercise over
the faithful in all the warning
nations must be recognized when
there is question of permanent
peace proposals. The Italian
government would make a great
mistake by opposing the interven-
ton of the Supreme Pontiff and
his participation in any movement
for peace. In fact, the exclusion
of the Pope from the congress by
the action of Italy would be harm
full to the state, as it would be an
evident proof of the fact that
Italy was ignoring the modus
vivendi' which has existed, for
nearly half century, between the
Quirinal and the Vatican.

THE POPE AND THE COMING
PEACE CONGRESS.

There is considerable discussion
going on in Italian reviews and
periodicals concerning the part
which the Holy See should take in
the congress Of nations which will
probably be held at the close of
the war for the purpose of dis
cusslng peace proposals and re-
adjusting political conditions in
Europe. Some time ago it was
currently reported that pact
had been entered into between the
Allies that, in the event Of such a
congress taking place, the Pope
should not be admitted to partici-
pate in its deliberations as it
would only bring up the question
of the Temporal Power, a recon
slderation of which Italy would
not consent to.
This report, whether we'll found
ed or not, has aroused consider
able discussion in Italy. The
Catholic publications taking part
IN the discussion, assert that the
question of the Temporal Power
need not be brought up, and that
the part which the Holy Father
ought to take in the coming con-
gress should not be made condi-
tional upon his temporal sover-
eighty, but on the great moral
power which he could exercise
and which is a vital part Of his
spiritual sovereignty. Nor could
the italian government, with any
degree of consistency, protest
against the Holy Fathers partici-
patton in these peace delibera-
tions because Of the Law of
Guarantees which assures the
Pope the fullest liberty in the
exercise of his spiritual jurisdic-
ton. Any protest which it might
make would directly contravene
the assurance given in the Law of
Guarantees that the Supreme
Pontiff is free to exercise his
spiritual sovereignty without in
terferanee on the part of the
italian authorities.

intelligent student Of history that

their children to a high school,
academy or 9ollege, in the fall,
even if they have to make a little
sacrifice to do so. Catholic par
ents who are willing to make
sacrifices for the education of their
children, do honor to themselves
and to the cause which the Church
has so much at heart. They should
see to it that their children are not
handicapped in the race for life
and its legitimate rewards by
want of a good education.
In looking around for a school
to- which to send their children,
Catholic parents should not over
look the fact that our Catholic
higher educational institutions are
equal to the best Of their class in
their academic training and I'M
equalled in their moral and re-
liglous influence on the pupil. In
making a selection preference
should be given to those in one S
own city, diocese or state, and only
in exceptional eases and for spe-
cial reasons should children be
sent to schools in other parts of
the country. Our home schools, so
to speak, have first claim upon
our allegiance. They are entitled
to our support. They appeal to
prospective patrons through the
advertising columns of The CathO-
lie Bulletin and other publications
and it is the duty of Catholic par
ents to give them due cOnsidera-
ton before deciding to send their
children elsewhere. Above all,
there is no need to patronize nom
Catholic institutions for higher ed
ucation OF Catholic boys and girls
as long as Catholic schools are so
we'll equipped for the work. Too
many Catholic parents send their
children to non-Catholic schools to
crafty social ambition, to be in
the swim" with others whom they
look up to as leaders in the pro-
fessional, business or social world.
In their desire to promote the ma
terial Well-being of their child
they lose sight of his spiritual in
terests which are far more impor-
tant. Of what value is a higher
education which jeopardizes the
priceless heritage Of Catholicity {?
If Catholic pupil lose his faith
by attending Institutions where
moral training is negative
quantity and religion matter Of
little consequence, the parent, in
most eases, must be held RESPONSE

WHEN GOD MADE IRELAND.
(By DR.. James Henderson in the
Detroit Journal.")

When the Lord had finished creation
And given earth a gift to man,
He stepped out into the waters,
Said He: I've another plan"
He rested awhile and tarried
With the waters bright at His feet,
And blessed them and babe them lin
ger
Till He'd make Him an isle full
sweet
He gathered the dust from the star
drifts,
He gathered the meteor's ash,
The jeWeled CRIME from the sea-beds,
Bolts from the lightning's flash;
Star-fish and shells called to Him,
Basalt, volcanic grume,
And pfashiQped it neat and prettY.oen d
And made it with flowers to bloom.
There now" He said as He finished,
I'll fashion bit Of sky
That'll ever be blue and smiling
No matter what day comes by"
He flung it in love about her
With a Fatherly twist of His hand.
And then He rested a moment,
And christened her-Ireland!
And it seemed that He couldn't leave
her
Till He hung jewels on her breast,
And raised up her emerald mountains
To merge in the crimson west.
He lined her with golden sunsets,
Put His own smile in the dawn,
And gave as His peace, the twilights
That linger SO soft and long.
He spake-"Now with strands of
silver
I'll bind thee, my pretty jewel,
Not with chain that's CALLING,
Not with strand that's cruel"
So He twisted and twined the rivers
We see to this blessed day
Not all the waves of the ocean
Shall ever wash them away!
That's why sometimes when we're
dying,
We want to go home, some tell.
Thro' that land that is next to heaven
And, too, we would rest spell.
o, sure, when the angels lead us
Well be hoping to glimpse the sod
OF that isle in the western ocean,
That sweet little land of God!
