that we are Americans of the bone

our devotion is typified by that Old

President of these United States is
our Chief Magistrate. He with Con-

Behind him we stand as one man.
He who is not with him is against

We therefore pray God bless and
guide our President. God bless

HoLrEsT TRIBUTE.

The observance of st. Patrick
day this year. has taken many forms
as in times past. but never has
the recognition due the great pa
tronal saint of Ireland been more
impnessively paid than will be this
year witnessed from one end of
the country to the other by mem
bers of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians receiving holy communion
on his feast day What an inspir-
ing lesson in the practical Cath
olicity of the Ancient Order and
how splendid must be the moral eff
feet of an army of about 100000
men and women approaching the
atari The custom of thus observ-
ing the day is one that has every
devout and patriotic claim to per-
petuation. as the highest and holt
est tribute of pious fervor that
could possibly be paid TO the mem
DRY Of Ireland's Apostle.

the grocer's books. If deot must
be paid sometime, why should II
not be paid at once. especially II 1t
be little matter like the price OF
tea, coffee or butter? 1t is an al
most universal custom to charge
less on cash payments than on
credit. Farmers have been repeat
eddy warned against blanketing
their farms with mortgages. This
custom has long been the maelstrom
of American agriculturists. Unless
the charges are very reasonable and
the risks slight. mortgages are
double-edged tools that good peo-
pie ought to avoid. There is a GER
tain sturdy independence in that
honesty that tries to pay as it goes,
that shrinks from selling its future
labors in debt and tries have bel
ance on hand to provide for exigen-
cies which may arise. This is the
best policy in the end, and secures
those who practice it an honest
sense on owning their own souls.

HOPES FOR PEACE.

We have entered upon an admin
istration that promises to be as
stormy as that of Lincoln's and we
can only hope that the reins of gov
eminent will be held by steady and
compassionate hands. II war can
be avoided honorably, it is our
prayer that we all lie down to
dreamless sleep, not walked by wars
alarms, but rather TO the call of
tillers of the soil and to the plough
shares steel cutting through the
roots of many years growth of
grasses. To see men put aside he'll
met and cartridge belt to take up
the interrupted industries would be
a glad and happy realization that
peace was ours.

BLESSING ON AMERICA.

Our readers are diversified; so
are our citizens---that is, as to the
racial blood that flows among us.
Max ORell once said that he could
not understand why any American
should be proud of his lineage,
since the average American did not
know his grandfather. Mark Twain
said in reply that, even admitting
all the honorable Max said to be
true, the average American was
away ahead of the average French
man, who did not know his own
father. All such, however, by way
OF a little Joke, says the Catholic
Union and Times; but we beg to
refer to the fact that racial ties are
various. and being various, natur-
ally carry with them a certain af-
fnity or love of old association. We
are bound to find such ties. In
deed would be strange were it
otherwise Having said. so much,
we proceed to the point on which
there must be unity. That is, the
duty and devotion we owe TO our
common, if not our mother country
America.
In Theses columns we have been
particularly careful as to any ex-
preston of opinion, even indirectly,
On the war question. We have abb
stained as far as we could. We
are neither one way nor the other.
We abhor war; we are for peace.
We stand for virtue in the home.
and good will among all men. We
are NOT in any sense part or parcel
Of the carnage which has scourged
Europe; wasted bone and blood. sac
rinced everything worthy OF God
and man for nothing save passion
and power.
But now It is different when the

WORTH TRIAL.

The Loyola Club of Sacred Heart
parish, Denver, Col, has evolved a
plan for the dissemination of knowf-
edge about Catholicity among nom
Catholics that is worthy OF emula-
ton all over the country. The club
has about fifty young men, drawn
almost entirely from the working
classes, and many of them laboring
side by side with men who hold
Catholicity in anything but esteem.
Each young man is to be given lit
erature, written by a non-Catholic,
in defense of the church, and is TO
be asked to present II 10 his fellow
workingman WHO has the poorest
opinion of the church. The Cath
Ollie, first of all, will familiarize
himself with what the literature
contains, so that he can discuss 1t
intelligently. From this literature
written by non-Catholics, it is pro-
posed to work up, until Catholic lit
erature can be placed in the hands
of the non-Catholic. Rev. Charles
Mcdonnell. s. j., one OF the pas
tors of Sacred Heart church, Is the
originator of the Loyola plan.

Skeptical citizens in New York
are now wondering how far prac-
teal politics was intermingled with
patriotic sentiment when Democrat
ic and Republican Senator'S were de-
nounced for blocking the passage
of the bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to arm merchantmen engaged
in the foreign trade. There is no
doubt, it is reported, that Senators
who have been accused of un-
patriotic action by the President
will throw clear light upon the
subject and its various aspects when
the measure in question comes up
for passage and discussion at the
extra session. These men intend to
demonstrate at their leisure that
the so-called crisis had not been
created by their attitude, but had
been a matter of gradual develop
ment for which they claim the
President had made no far-sighted
preparation as his firm and persist
ent opposition to preparedness
would show They also wonder
why the President went to the ex-
IRENE in his words of condemnation
Of members of coordinate branch
of the Government when all the
time the legislation whose immedi-
ate passage he demanded was not
essential TO the purpose he had in
mind and had so been held by high
officials OF the Administration.

all deserving, and we therefore ask

HOLY WEEK NEAR.

In few weeks the last days of
Lent will come and Holy Week and
Good Friday will be here. AS noted
by the Indiana Catholic, in our part
of the United States there is not
that reverence for Good Friday that
is manifested in other cities. Out
side the confines Of our Catholic
churches things go on just about
the same. and there is no public
manifestation of sorrow or respect
for the anniversary of the Re-
deemer's death on the cross. Men
traffic, the mills grind, the markets
continue commerce ceases not,
courts sit, government halts not,
pulpits are empty and churches are
deserted on this great day in this
boosted Christian nation. Nowhere
is there evidence of fitting and rev.
erent observance of the day. And
yet how much that day means to
the Christian world! The world, in
fact, as we'll as in observance, has
largely forgotten Good Friday. and
as the forgetfulness expanded ma
teTialisn, hedonism and agnosticism
grew propoitionatel" pressing
need therefore in the life of the
people and the life OF the nation to-
day is a more fitting and more
reyerent observance OF Good Friday
With it will return truly Christian
observance of the great festival of
Easter

OWE NO ONE.


Sensible people will agree with
the Catholic Citizen that IL every
body paid his debts almost every
business in this country would be
lucrative, and honest people would
not have to pay so much for wha.

bad debts to look out for he could

Most failures are due to worthless

SYSTEM is WRONG.

When people are hungry they are
quite liable to do desperate things,
which, in measure, accounts for
the recent rlotous method adopted
by a number of New York women.
In the big city cold-storage plants
are filled almost to bursting with all
kinds of necessarfes. while men. wo-
men and children have not the
wherewith to secure enough food to
satisfy their hunger There is
something radically wrong with our
system when such condition is
permitted to exist.
