FILMING CARNTVALITES.

Last week it was announced
that those taking part in the st.
Paul Carnival were expected to
meet at the Town and Country
Club Of st. Paul for the taking Of
motion pictures. This meeting
was scheduled for Sunday morn
ing. Fortunately the elements in
terfered and made up for the lack
Of good taste shown by the leaders
Of the Carnival.
Some years ago when the pres
ent writer was in Rome the City
Council Of the Eternal City issued
somewhat similar edict. The
Italian Government had succeeded
in banishing religion from all the
schools Of Italy. The last step
was taken shortly before and re-
suited in the removal Of the cruel
fix from the walls of all school
rooms. But the crafty atheistic
leaders noticed that the children
attended Sunday morning Mass
and were given instruction after
Mass. Then it was that the fine
Italian hand showed itself, and
the edict went forth that for
reasons Of health the school
children OF Rome were obliged to
leave about half past seven every
Sunday morning and to go on a
long hike through the sur
rounding country returning about
noon. In this way it was hoped
that the children would be depriv-
ed Of every opportunity Of receiv-
ing religious instruction, as they
would be too tired to repair to the
church for this instruction later in
Ihc day.
We know not who was RESPONSE
bic for the invitation extended to
the persons Of the Carnival to
meet last Sunday morning. But
whoever was responsible showed
either malicious intent or deplor-
able lack of good taste, or an ut
ter disregard for religion. When
| it is understood that at least fifty
per cent of st. Paul is Catholic,
and that the other fifty per cent
is made up largely of persons who
ordinarily attend church Sunday
morning, it will be evident to
thinking persons that the order
issued as mentioned above was a
direct invitation for all those per-
sons to forego their duty Of at
tending church services. IF this is
the spirit that actuates the leaders
Of the Carnival in st. Paul, it does
not require deep insight to see
that their slogan to make it a
hotter one, = will be verified for
many persons not only here but,
especially in the hereafter. While
not opposed in any way to such
public and civic affairs, we feel it
necessary to raise voice Of pro-
test against the injection Of any
element that will tend to minimize
the Importance of either morality
or religion.

The Most Reverend Archbishop

The Most Reverend Archbishop
Keanc, Of Dubuque, has struck a
clarion note in his letter which we
quote elsewhere in this issue. He
DEGREES that henceforth all the
parochial schools Of his Archdio-
cese will be free schools with no
fee charged for attendance. AS a
matter Of fact the parish school is
almost as integral part OF par
ish as the church. All citizens are
taxed for the support Of the public
schools and various other institu-
tons whether these citizens have
children or relatives in such insti-
buttons or not. There is no reason,
therefore, why every member Of a
parish should not in the same, way
contribute to the support Of the
parish school and thus, among 9th
er reasons, eliminate the objection
so often made by parents that
they cannot afford to send their
children to the Catholic school.
We trust that the day will soon
come when every parish In the
country will possess a free school.

Tn pastoral letter read in all
the Catholic churches III Montreal
on New Years Day, Archbishop
Bruchesi announced that hence
forth women Or girls who appear
in church in low neck dresses, or
in other similar attire, will be re-
fused the Sacrament Of the Holy
Eucharist. Every woman, who
prides herself on being a true
Christian," says the letter, has
but to listen to the promptings Of
modesty, inspired by her own con
science. We do not fail in the eti-
quette that obtains in our visits to
friends or distinguished people
who have invited us. Let us then
scrupulously and religiously OBJ
serve the etiquette Of the House Of
God. "

WORKERS ARE DISCHARGED FOR
INEFFlCIENCY.

Indulgence in intoxicating drinks is
regarded with such disfavor in the
great munitions plants at Eddystone,
in the Philadelphia industrial district,
that despite daily increasing short
age Of workers, 1000 men have been
laid off by the Remington Arms Com
pany for 'inef1iciency." A year of
costly experiment has taught the
company the lesson that the worker
who carouses is more expensive to
his employer than an idle machine.
Men who go to the other extreme
and attempt to hoard their earnings
by the short-sighted method Of living
in the cheapest quarters and eating
the poorest food obtainable are being
eliminated from the payroll with the
boozers. The new program of eff
cheney hits both high and low.

lack of Catholic organizations for
keeping in touch with boys after
their school days. In Cincinnati
there is a young mems sodality
which is possibly the best model
Of its kind in the country. 1t has
many branches and departments
of practical, charitable, and up
lifting work Of various kinds. If
such an organization were estab-
lished in every parish and boys
were reached through the proper
medium, there is no doubt but that
the boy problem would be reduced
to a minimum.

The Catholic Bulletin extends
its fluctuations to the Honorable
Thomas D. O'Brien Of st. Paul,
who was recently honored by be-
ing elected President Of the st.
Paul Association. Mr.. O'Brien is
one of the best known lawyers in
the State, and is one of our most
distinguished Catholic fellow-citi-
Zens. His choice as President Of the
new organization reflects credit
upon the electors, and at the same
time is a source Of qualification to
citizens Of all classes and especial
". to Catholics.

In spite of the campaign against
the divorce evil throughout the
country, Philadelphia this year
has produced more divorces than
any year in its history. During
the year just closed the PhiEadel-
phia courts have granted nearly
1000 divorce DEGREES. Many more
cases than that have been brought,
but some will be carried over into
next year, others have been with
drawn, and in some cases DEGREES
have been refused.

We have received the first copy
Of the Catholic Charities Review
from Washington, d. G. In APP
pearance and contents it promises
to be not merely a chronicle of
local or national happenings in it's
particular field, but at the same
time a judicious guide in charit-
able work. The variety of its de-
partments shows that nothing in
. the field Of organized charity or of
sociology will be considered out
side its sphere. We wish the new
Review and it's distinguished edi-
tor, Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan, an
ever-increasing circle of readers
and the very best prosperity.

OUR TROOPS IN MEXICO

by w. j. Moriarty with regard to the
conditions at the Mexican border:
Llano Grande, Texas,
January IA, 1917.
Q.3ite a number of the troops that
were stationed at Llano Grande have
been recalled, but it will make little
difference in our work except possibly
i'll attendance. We still have two regi-
ments and battery from Indiana, one
Nebraska regiment and the First Min
nesota Field Artillery In the last
named unit Deputy Donahue is a Ma
jor, 1t. Col. Murphy is a member of
the Order, and there are quite num-
Der of Catholic men in this regiment.
Then too, Father Harrington, who is
the Chaplain of this Regiment, is still
with us and has two Masses in the
building each Sunday. The First Min
nesota Infantry, in which there were
many Catholics, has been removed to
Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio.
There is a movement on foot, it seems,
to abandon some of the smaller camps,
and the camp at Donna has been
abandoned, and part of the troops have
been brought to this camp while the
balance have been sent to McAllen.
The camp at Pharr has also been dis
continued and the New York troops
sent to McAllen, while those from Ten
nessee have been stationed at San
Benito. Fortunately we had no build
ings at either of the abandoned camps
and by the arrangements we shall
still have a goodly number at Llano
Grande, McAllen and San Benito
Things have been going very well
here at Llano Grande and from all ac-
counts the boys have been making
good use of the Comfort Fund contrib
