|KEATINL PREDICTS A DKY NATIUN SOON;
NOW FORMALLY AT WAR WITH AUSTRIA
Suffrage Makes Gains

Congress will also vote on the Nat
ly date. The advocates of Votes for
Women" are naturally elated over
the result in New York where they
surprised all the politicians by
sweeping the state. They received a
setback in Ohio, however, and it is
not probable that they will be able
to muster a two-thirds majority, un-
less they can induce the president
to come to their assistance.
Wilson has consistently maintain
ed that the states should be permit
ted to continue to determine the quail
ifications of voters, but some who
are close to the White House pre-
dict change of attitude. The pres
ident could probably break the op-
position of the SOLID South" and
with that barrier removed the rest
would be comparatively easy.
GOuging Coal Consumers
On the theory that misery loves
Sohpdhy SOlOIdudIS uldS De Inter
ested to know that a Washington
newspaper within the last week sent
its reporters to scores of coal dealers
and offered as high as $40 for a ton
of coal without being able to get a
"taker'
The great West Virginia and Penn
sylvania coal fields are within easy
hauling distance of the Nations Cap
itol and coal should be very cheap
here
No one has offered a satisfactory
explanation of the situation. The
story of the reporters experience has
served to stir up the Federal Fuel
Administrator and relief is promised
have placed the Colorado coal sit
uation before the Washington au-
thorities and have urged that the
price to consumers be reduced $3.50
ton. This result could be brought
about by cutting the price of lump
coal at the mines and reducing the
margin OF profit allowed the retail
ers. The Fuel Administrator has as
sured me that an early investigation
would be made.

THANKS TO THE RED CROSS

Camp Funston, Kan,
December 7, 1917.
Red Cross Society,
Monte Vista, Colorado
To all members
Through the kindness of the Edi-
tor of the Monte Vista Journal l take
this opportunity to express my most
sincere thanks to you for your kind
ness and thoughtfullness in remem-
bering me with one of your boxes.
Not only does it give me great pleas
ure to receive box with so many de-
licious and useful articles therein,
but it brings with it an element of
assurance that whatever we (who are
privileged to wear the uniform of
our country are called upon to do
and do for our United States of
America in this great and necessary
war which has been forced upon us
by the aggressions of the greatest
military despot the world has ever
produced-the German KAISER" we
may depend upon you to stand be-
hind us to the very last.
Very respectfully,
William Mack Davis,
End Lieutenant, 341st F. A
The Monte Vista journal., 1917-12-15
BY EDWARD KEATING
Congressman from the Third ooio-
RADIO District.)

Washington, d. C.-The United
states is now formally at war with
Austria Hungary. AS matter OF
fact we have been actually at war
with that country for some time and
the declaration just adopted by Con-
gress will not materially affect the
situation.
When we threw in our lot with
EugIand. France and the other En-
;tente powers we became the enemy
of Germany and all it's allies. We re-
trained from breaking with Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey because we be-
Slieved there was a chance to make a
separate peace with those countries
Hand thus cripple our chief antagon-
II list.
Italy's defeat has affected matters
Z so vitality that it may be necessary to
Asend American troops to that Coun-
4try. In that event they will be fac
ling the Austrian soldiers. We could
mot very well instruct our boys to
Sfire on the representatives of a pow
X er with which we were at peace.
Hence, the necessity for a definite
s declaration that so long as Austria
u adheres to Germany it E:ust be reck-
0ned among the enemies of America.
We are still at peace with Turkey
~, I,
adoxical situation can continue is
probematical
There are great mGny American
missionaries in Turkey and they have
Ethe custody of property valued at
kmOre than twenty millions. A dec
&laration of war would be followed
|by the confiscation of this property
land it is altogether probable that
many of the missionaries would lose
their lives. 1t can be seen that we
cannot afford to act hastily, but if
the Turks should actually use their
armies against our forces the con-
siderations referred to would have to
be swept aside.
In the meantime, some of the dip
lomats still hope that Turkey may
be won away from the Teutonic al
lance and the same hopes are enter
tanned concerning Bulgaria.
All that Congress can do in the
circumstances, is to await develop
ments and continue to furnish the
men, money and materials needed to
press the war
Prohibition Before Christmas
will the National Prohibition
amendment pass Congress at this ses-
sion?" l asked Congressman Dorsey
shackelford of Missouri on my re-
turn to Washington.
The father of the federal good
roads bill puckered his brow until it
registered" deep thought and re-
Piled:
will duck swim?"
The Prohibitionists have count
ed noses and are sure they can mus
yer the necessary two-thirds. In all
probability the great contest will be
staged in the House before the
christmas holidays
The amendment has already passed
The Senate, where it received a sur
prlsingly large majority.
The friends of old Demon Rum
are apparently badly demoralized
lhey almost lost Ohio and Iowa and
now New York has granted the bal
lo' to women. The handwriting on
'he wall is easily interpreted. 1t is
ohly question of time-and a
mighty short time at that-until
mere will not be saloon under the
Stars and Stripes.

PROTESTANT SCHEME FOR
PROMOTING CHRISTIANITY
IN EASTERN LANDS.

The Missionary Herald discussing
the increase in newspapers in China
and Japan sees a chance for mission
airy endeavor through the agency of
their columns. Of course there is
plenty of money to carry the scheme
through.
China has now 800 newspapers,
where only few years ago it had
none. There are a score of them in
Canton alone. Japan is, proportion
ately to it's population, even better
provided with journals. The Orient
has domesticated the news sheet.
The idea has occurred to more than
one keen mind that Christianity
could we'll be presented to the people
of non-Christian lands through the
local papers. A fund has been started
and is being pushed to secure large
sum of money wherewith to buy
column space in the leading newspa-
pers of these Eastern lands for the
setting forth of aspects of Christian
truth, and for winning attention there
to. 1t is argued that no more eco
nomical method could be devised than
this, by which to attract attention and
to get at least first hearing for
Christianity's claim from the masses
of these huge populations.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-09-08

this deadly neutrality" and even
open hostility to religion is charge
able to the system of education that
has provided no place for the inculca-
ton of the precepts of the divine law
and the development of the moral and
spiritual elements in our being. In
this vacant space of the secular sys-
tenn have thrived and grown the
weeds of Indifference, agnosticism
and atheism, so that they now over
spread their limits and threaten to
choke the growth of the neighboring
plants.
The Catholic Church which is sensi-
lively adjusted to detect and measure
all movements and disturbances in
the religious world long ago took
register of. these appalling slides and
lapses in the educational system and
proceeded to forefend itself against
them. It has now, therefore, reached
point far in advance of. the sepa-
rated brethren who bewail the exist
ing conditions but have lacked the
courage, foresight and prudence to
fight against them in their incipiency.
The Church recognizes that one of
it's functions is to treat" all nations,
and this function under the stress of
modern conditions has been broaden
ed so as to include the whole range
of studies from the kindergarten to
the university. Whether children are
OF elementary, grammar, academic or
collegiate age they can be taken in
hand and trained in the secular
branches while concurrently they are
grounded in the principles, precepts
and practices of their religion. 1t
would, therefore, be rash parent
who would permit his children to
| leave the fair mountain of culture
which the Church provides to batten
on the secular moor, with all it's at
tendant pitfalls.
The several Catholic schools, acad-
emies, seminaries and colleges of the
Northwest have fully kept pace with
their sister institutions of the coun-
try. Clergy and laity are increasingly
proud of the quality and quantity of
their yearly output. Judged and ap-
praised by their achievements both in
the line of secular and religious
studies they are worthy of the sup
port and patronage of those parents
and guardians who decline to take any
chances with the faith and morals of
their children and wards during the
period of education.

WHAT AN AMERICAN GIRL
CAN DO.

In the Toledo Record there recently
appeared tribute to our missionary
nuns that shows how remarkable is
their work in itself, and how pro.
foundry it impresses the Protestant
observer who does not comprehend
the spirit that animates the apostolic
SOUL The quotation is:
Not long ago, in distant Algiers.
North Africa, an American tourist Wis,
tied the lepers' colony there out of
pure curiosity. These poor lepers
were cared for by a community of
Sisters.
"The gentleman was attracted by
one of these self-sacrificing women
because of her youth, beauty and re-
finement, and to his surprise he
learned that she was an American
girl. Being introduced to her, he said,
Sister, l would not do this work for
$4,000 a year. No., said the Sister,
nor would l do it for 100000 nor a
million a year. Really, said the
stranger, you surprise me. What,
then, do you receiver Nothing was
the reply, absolutely nothing Then
why do you do it?' The Sister lifted
the crucifx that was pending from
her rosary and, sweetly kissing it.,

COCHIN CHINA AND TIE STRESS
OF WAR.

1t looks as if the Bishop of Saigon,
Mgr. L. Mossard, P. F. NJ, would come
near winning the banner in regard to
his supply of native priests. After
stating that on account of war needs
only thirty-three European mission
aries remain in his diocese, he adds:
Happily we have ninety-four Anna
mite priests ready to do their best to
replace those who have gone away
Our mission has been sorely tried by
the general calamity that is distress
ing the world, but our Christians by
their numerous vocations fill oul
hearts with joy

CYCLONE DESTROYS THE
WORK OF THREE YEARS.


India has not been the only sufferer
from cyclones. Very Rev. Fulgence
Carnockel, o. M. Cap, sends word
from Libenge, in the Belgian Congo,
that terrific wind has destroyed a
fine church, schools and the orphan
asylum, not to mention large banana
plantations, with a crop almost ripe.
In short the results of three years
hard work in this mission was wiped
out in an hour.
There are now one hundred and
twenty-eight children shelterless. Such
disasters are fearfully discouraging to
the poor apostles who have to beg for

nation as possible and trust to Provi-
dence to find them new friends.
