Should the family fortune he es-
tablished by trade across footballs, by
political contracts, note-shaving, or
what not, the children are sent to
Yale or Vassar, as a preliminary
boost in social climbing.
"They do not learn catechism at
Yale, nor do they get far up on tho
social tree trunk as rule; but even
if the child does mount to the upper
branches and the balmy air, the re-
ward appears to be that he, raimented
from London, can go to the horse

Our people are pulled down into
unbelief, too, by the rapid decadence
of the American public conscience.
Today indecent pictures are set up on
the boardings, and printed in the
papers that enter our homes; unclean
plays are presented in the theatres;
brazen DANES flop about in what are
called esthetic dances, university pro-
fessors preach ethical slush, without
protests. Yet a generation ago these
crimes would open the doors of the
penitentiary.
The other day I was passing a
school just as a number of Catholic
girls were coming out. There was
basement window near the gate
which made an effectual mirror, and
every blessed damsel that appeared
took a powder puff from her reticule.
Powder puffs are not criminal, but
were these Catholic girls dressed
modestly? That depends upon what
part of Africa you come from. Some
one calls all this late paganism the
cookie of Professionalism. Both this
paganism and Professionalism are the
weeds of rheumatic Catholicity.
IF our forebears and ourselves
were half decent Catholics there
would not be any weeds in the garden
Luther was the water-carrier at the
end of the procession not the drum

well armed against both Protestant

National Churches in Rome
ARGENTINE REPUBLIC LATEST
NATION TO CONSIDER IDEA.

An interesting feature in Roman
life is the fact that a large number of
the countries of Europe have their
national churches in the
Eternal City, Spain, France, Austria,
Ireland and several divisions of Italy
have each church devoted to resi-
dents belonging to these countries.
The Forentines, the Lombards, the
Genoese and the Sicilians have pretty
ediffees that were built by these peo-
ples when they had their own govern
ments and wished to be able to point
to a distinctive church as a mark of
honor to. the center of the Catholic
Church. Down by the Tiber stands
IS Giovanni del Fiorentini," which
the Republic of Florence built in 1883,
and which Michael Angelo wanted to
make "a temple such as the Greeks
and Romans never had" But the
Florentines refused to foot such a bill
as his grand plans would entail, and
the pretty building which shelters the
bodies of SIS. Protus and Hyacinthus
martyrs, was erected instead.
The Latest to conceive this idea is
the Argentine Republic, which through
the Bishops has obtained the consent
of the Holy Father in the matter. In
the petition signed by all the Bishops
the desires of both clergy and people
to have national church in Rome is
unfolded. to Benedict XIV. This peti
tion-to the contents of which Pope
Benedict has given his approval-was
presented to the Holy Father by his
Excellency Senior Garcia Mansilla
Minister of the Argentine to the Vati
can, which fact leads one to think. thai
the project had for sponsors both the
Church and the State in the South
American republic.

He must be with them.t Then too
would not his mother need his pro-
lection and ministration in Mexico s
sad hour of rapine and disease? Thus
the Spirit of God spoke through this
young, sad-eyed priest, and when OBJ
lection was raised that to go to Mex
leo was to die, a smile fitted across
his face, as he said: Maybe one man
must die for the people," And he
went, and he died for the people.
His letters told of misery, too great
for words: hunger, sickness and de-
spair:
Il have just returned worn out from
a days journey among the sick and

are dropping off by the score. l found

But Arnulfo Areva1o is sad no
longer. He is dead, another victim
in MeXico's tragedy. His lifeless eyes
look up to heaven, On a far-off plain
but his soul is with God. For eternity
the light of Gods face will be on his
brow and the music of golden harps
will be in his heart; Arnulfo Arevalo
gave his life for a friend.
And how his fate typifies Mexico's
travail, the good dying by the score
from hunger, disease, violence, the
depraVed living in high riot under the
eyes of a powerful neighbor, while
sleek, well-fed Americans view with
indifference or contempt the fate of a
martyred nation!> But then some day
America may produce an Arnulfo

 It was at most a mile from the mills. By the time the car had GOV cred half that distance on that steep grade it would be careering dovuhiIl 1t express speed. When it stI7l,k the mill-yard gates 1t would cave them in ike eggshells.
