Under compression the Douglas III

There are two practical ways of
helping the Catholic press, name
ly, by subscriptions and by adver-
tisements. Those who cannot, if
they would, aid it by the former
method are few indeed. Catholic
merchants and all who cater to
Catholic trade can help the Catho-
lie press by using it as an adver-
tising medium, and they should
do so. Subscribers also can do
much in this regard by calling the
attention of the merchants with
whom they deal to the value of
Catholic papers as mediums for
bringing their wares to the atten-
ton of prospective customers and,
when dealing with a merchant, by
mentioning the fact that they saw,
his advertisement in such and
such a Catholic paper. Too few
Catholics employ this easy means
of aiding Catholic publications
They seem to think that Catholic
papers can exist and even prosper
on resolutions and good wishes.

ST. PATRICK S CHAPEL.

When the new Cathedral of st.
Paul is completed, it's magnificent
sanctuary will be encircled with
a coronet of six shrines, each a
gem of artistic loneliness and rich
ness, dedicated to the patron
saints of the nations whose chill
dren compose the Catholic popula-
ton Of the Diocese. Each shrine
will be finished and embellished by
the generous offerings of the ma
tlonality which claims as it's own
the saint under whose protection
the shrine is placed. The gather
ing of funds for the chapels of
st. Patrick, ST. Boniface, and S.
Cyril and Methodius, has been go
ing on for some time and already
goodly proportion of the $4,000
required for each one has been
secured.
A special effort will be made
during the next few months to
complete the fund for st. Patrick s
Chapel. One-half the amount is
already on hand. A new appeal
has been issued to the people Of
Irish birth and extraction to make
a final effort to place at the dis
posal of the committee Of priests
in charge Of the work sufficient
funds to make the shrine a fitting
memorial of the apostolate Of Ire

! ! To that end the Rev. C. T,
Cre1nin and the Rev. P. Waldron
of st. Paul Seminary, have been
authorized by the Most Reverend
Archbishop to visit several of the
i parishes of the Diocese during the
summer months and solicit contri-
buttons for st. Patrick s chapel
fund. Their mission should OBJ
tain for them a welcome to these
j parishes and a generous response

The Right Reverend Mgr. Nc
Dewitt, superintendent of the pa
rochial schools of Philadelphia,
points out that one woman teach
er in the Philadelphia high school
receives more salary than thirteen
Sisters who teach in the Catholic
girls high school. A similar dis
proportion In, salaries, we pre-
sumo, exists in other localities, for
nowhere are the members Of the
teaching Sisterhoods paid as high
salary as teachers of the same
class in public schools. This gives
one an idea of the contribution
which the teaching Sisterhoods
and the same may be said of the
teaching Brotherhoods are max
ing to Catholic education. With
out their aid it would be impossi-
bic for Catholic schools to exist,
without imposing an unbearable
burden upon the shoulders of our
Catholic people. It is the self-sac-
rifice of the teachers in parochial
schools, academies and high schools
which makes it possible for the
pupils to receive a truly Catholic
education at a most moderate cost.
All honor to them! They are wor-
thy of the unstinted praise and
most loyal support of Catholics
everywhere.

The shameless woman who Wis
tied st. Paul some weeks ago and
advocated birth control before a
coterie of society females and a
few unsexed males was arrested in
Portland, Ore, on June 30, on a
charge of distributing obscene
literature. With her, two other
women were taken into custody
and all were placed in jail. They
refused to give bonds for their ap-
pearance in court to answer the
charge and demanded an imme-
diate trial. Henceforth they will
be martyrs in the eyes of their
deluded followers; but if they can
draw any consolation from the fact
that they are punished for their
brazen advocacy of social i'm.
morality, they are welcome>to it.
They deserve the severest punish
ment which the law can mete out
to them for their offence.

TEACH THEM A LESSON.

The Redpath- Vawter System
which is featuring so-called celeb
rites on it's Chautauqua circuit
should be taught a lesson by the
Catholics of Minnesota and the
Northwest whose religion and in
telligence they insult by allowing
such men as Bishop Stuntz of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to adj
dress them. Catholics should re-
fuse to paHonize a. programi on
which the name of the former
Bishop for South America APP
pears as an exponent of religious
and social conditions in the south
ern hemisphere. 1t is time for
supposedly reputable Chautauqua
managers to wake up to the fact
that their Catholic patrons are
not the benighted and stupid Doors
they would have to be, did they
not resent the slurs cast on their
southern co-religionists by timer
ant and ranting pulpiteers who
parade the livery of religion and
take advantage of an enforced
residence in distant countries to
calumniate people who have more
genuine religion and regard for
truth and purity in their little
fingers than these bearers of false
witness have in their whole bodies.
Self-respecting Catholics should
not patronize Chautauquas that
tolerate slurs on their religion and
the sooner Chautauqua managers
receive a wholesome lesson in this
regard the better for all con-
cerned.

We are informed that Bishop
STUNTS Chautauqua lecture at
Anoka last week was expurgated
of all reference to conditions in
South America calculated. to Of
fend Catholic hearers. This must
not be taken as an evidence Of a
change of heart on the part of the
lecturer but as the result of a
notification sent to the chairman
of the Chautauqua committee by
the pastor of st. Stephen s Church,
that if anything Objectionable was
said by Bishop Stuntz, the Catho-
lies would make a public protest.
This is the proper attitude for
Catholics to take. Too long have
they meekly turned ''the other
cheek. " 1t is time for them to as
sert themselves. If Chautanqua
managers know that any lecturer
on the program is antagonistic to
any of the patrons, they will
either see that he confines himself
to the truth or drop him entirely
from their list.
