CATHOLIC INFANT HOME
NEW INSTITUTION WILL BE UN-
DER THE DIRECTION OF CATH
OLlC LADIES OF THE TWIN
cITiEs-IT is LOCATED IN ST.
PAUL ON THE SITE OF THE
FORMER LARPENTEUR HOME.

An institution to be known as the
Catholic Infant Home is about to be
established in st. Paul. 1t will be
opened in what was formerly the
Anchorage, for many years the home
Of Mr.. A. L. Larpenteur, ST. Paul's
oldest citizen. 1t is located, as all
citizens of ST. Paul know, at Dale
Street and Carroll Avenue.
The object of the institution, as it's
name indicates, is to afford every
care to infants who will be entrusted
to it's charge. The direction of the
Home will be in the hands of a com
mittee to be appointed from the Guild
of Catholic Women of st. Paul, and
the League of Catholic Women of
Minneapolis. Each Society has an in
fant home department and will ap-
point board of seven members.
The fourteen women thus appointed
will constitute the executive board,
and they will handle all the affairs
connected with the Home. The pur-
chase of the Larpenteur home was
completed last week.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
IS UPHELD
WORK OF A CATHOLIC PRIEST is
CROWNED BY THE DECISION.

Oregon's law fixing minimum wages
for women, the first compulsory mini
mum wage statute ever before the
Supreme Court of the United States,
was Oh April 8 upheld as constitu-
tional by an equally divided court.
Similarly compulsory laws OF Wash
ington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Califor-
MIA, Utah, Minnesota and Ohio were
likewise sustained
The Supreme Court upheld as con-
stitutional the Oregon law limiting
labor of men in mills, factories and
manufacturing establishments to ten
hours day, but permitting thirteen
hours labor if paid time and hall
for overtime. 1t was the first gen
eral hours of labor state law ever
before the Supreme Court.
The author of Oregon's minimum
wage law is Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara OF
Portland who secured the adoption
of the law after a long fight. He was
named as the principal defendant in
the suit to have the law declared un
constitutional. The suit was fought
through the state courts up to the
Supreme Court of the United States

THE COLORED RACE
CARDINAL PAYS WARM TRIBUTE
TO THEIR QUALITIES.

Speaking to the pupils at Xavier
University (Colored), New Orleans,
during his recent visit to that city,
Cardinal Gibbons paid the following
eloquent tribute to the colored race
In my experience with the colored
race and in my dealings with them
during nearly fifty years, | have been
struck by the fact that they have three
chara cteristics: First of all they are
exceedingly grateful, that is to say,
they are always ready to acknowledge
with gratitude any benefit, and graft
tude is one of the noblest virtues.
Secondly, they are very affectionate
race, a warm-hearted race, their hearts
easily expand. Thirdly, l am happy to
say, that the colored people are deeply
and naturally religious. There are
some people, some races, that can
hardly be aroused to recognize the
Christian religion, the religion OF
Christ, whereas, the colored race are
always responsive to it. and | have yet
to see or hear of the first colored
man who has ever yet proclaimed
himself an atheist, an unbeliever."

A MAGNIFICENT GIFT
NON-CATHOLlC PRESENTS DEN
YER CATHEDRAL WITH A FOR
TY THOUSAND DOLLAR REC
TORY.

One of the most generous gifts ever
received by the Catholic Church in the
West was the presentation, last week,
to Rt. Rev. N C. Matz, Bishop of
Denver, of magnificent residence by
Werner 2. Reed, the non-Catholic mil
licnaire. The residence is to be used
as a rectory by the priests of the Ca
thedral parish, who, for some time,
have lived in q rented dwelling, five
blocks from the Cathedral. The new
home is in the same block as the Ca
thedral.
This is not the first time Mr.. Reed
has shown his generosity to the Cath
olic Church. Several years ago he
presented magnificent statue of Pope
Piux X to the Bishop, who had it
placed in the Cathedral. This bust,
one of the finest pieces of sculpture
in America, is reputed to have cost
ST.. 900. The cost was not made pub.
| lie. Another bust of Benedict XIV, ex.
ecuted by the Italian master, who
made that of the late Piux x, has been
ordered by Mr.. Reed and will be given
To Bishop Matz. Mr.. Reed gave $1,000
to the new Ell Paso Cathedral, and has
shown his friendship towards the
lCatholfc faith in similar substantial
way on other occasions.

THE IGNORANT CATHOLIC

scandals committed by priests and
Sisters
What is the effect of this company
and this reading? Sooner or later
the bad weed thus slowly sown will
choke in it's rapid growth all the high
ideals, principles and convictions so
faithfully inculcated at school, This
boy, after listening to and reading
what he does, begins to come to the
conclusion that, after all, there must
be some truth in what his companions
tell and what those papers state, be-
cause he does not hear it much con-
tradicted in church. Thus, he grad
ually grows Indifferent to his religious
duties, and in couple of years that
same Catholic college graduate, who
was ready to fight and die for his re-
ligion, will be ashamed to acknowl-
edge that he is a Catholic.
Nov, this calamity would not have
happened if that same boy had spent
about twenty minutes week in
reading over a Catholic weekly, for
that would have kept his higher
ideals alive; he would have received
new and fresh pictures of the glories
of his religion. His pride for his
Church would have been vigorously
stimulated weekly; he would have
found all those lies nailed, all those
! reported scandals convincingly con-
tradicted; he would have had ample
proofs and arguments to successfully
defend his religion and it's teachings
on every issue
Naturally, if this fact is sadly true
| for our Catholic school graduates, it
is ten times more true for those poor
children who only received a little
Catholic training when they were pre-
pairing for their first Communion, and
hundred times more true of those
unfortunate boys and girls who,
through the sinful negligence of their
parents, never went to a Catholic
school; their faith will soon be totter-
ing at the time they begin to figure
out things for themselves and only
| hear saloon debaters, country store
| theologians or parlor philosophers
corroborating the teachings and facts
they gather from the rubbish they
read.
1T is an impossibility for us priests
to explain every Sunday the things
which are misunderstood or misrep-
resented, to effectively deny the varf-
GUS lies and many scandals reported.
to attack general abuses and correct
misconceptions. Indeed, a little in
struction at Sunday Mass on the gen.
eral principles of our holy religion
very often proves already too long for
most of our congregation.
Therefore, oqr work must be neces-
sarily supplemented, our endeavors
re-enforced; and the only way that
this can be done is by good Cath
olic paper, which should be faithfully
read by our people. Unless this is
done, we will make little headway in
Gods mission, most of our efforts will
be futile, and religious indifference is
bound to be the consequence"

THE VOW OF VENICE
MODERN POPU L ION EMU
LATES CUSTOM OF THEIR
FOREFATHERS.

The citizens of Venice have vowed
High in honour of the Madonna della
Salute, in return for the safety OF
their beautiful city and their gorgeous
Cathedral through these war-laden
days, on the shores of the Lido, that
island upon which thousands spend
out in the Adriatic. By unanimous
vote of the Municipality of Venice
against the Socialist minority the
sum of 10000 francs has been set
apart for the church. And standing
by the high altar of thei Basilica of
st. Mark, where the ashes of the
Evangelist repose, Cardinal La Fon-
taine received the vow of Venice
Just 2S7 years ago a similar scene
was witnessed on that very spot when
the Patriarch Of Venice received from
Doge Nicolo COntarini and the Coun-
Gil OF Ten such VOW on the occa-
sion Of the plague which swept over
the city in 1630-31 The formula in
which Cardinal La Fontaine offered
the VOW of the Venetians was a
lengthy one. But enc paragraph will
serve TO illustrate the whole
Star Of the Sea, Virgin Mother, if in
your name this city was founded, if
the hearts of the Venetians have been
ever devoted to you, if you have
given us so many proofs of your pro-
lection and patronage, hear our
prayers, receive the petitions of a
people who confide in you"

CARDINAL GIBBONS
TRUE LOYALTY is SHOWN BY
"SOLEMN SERVICE" NOT
MERE WORDS.

In the present emergency it be-
hOoVes every American citizen to do
his duty, and to uphold the hands of
the President and the legislative de-
partment in the solemn obligations
that confront us" said Cardinal Glib
bons a few days ago, in response to
requests coming from distinguished
statesmen at Washington and others
for an expression from him on the
entrance of this republic into the war
"The primary duty of q citizen is 10y
atty to country" continued the Cardi-
nal. This loyalty is manifested more
by acts than by words; by solemn
service rather than by empty declama-
ton. 1t is exhibited by an absolute
and unreserved obedience to his coun-
try's call"

THE REASON WHY EDUCATED
CATH Lies BECOME LUKE
WARM IN THEIR FAITH - A
POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR
THE NECESSITY OF THE CATH
OLIC PAPER.

Rev. P. M. H. Wynhoven, pastor of
St. Joseph's Church, Gretna, La, re-
Gently delivered a powerful plea for
the Catholic press. Speaking of the
reasons why many Catholics blush
when asked if they are Catholics, he
said in part:
1t is because these people are moral
towards. They are moral towards be-
cause they are ignorant. And why are
they ignorant? Is it on account of
their lack Of proper education? No.
For we find these religiously dull
minded and spineless and sometimes
unpiously boastful individuals even
amongst those who graduated with
the highest honors from our Catholic
schools, colleges and academies.
"Why, then, have even these edu-
Gated people grown Indifferent? Be-
cause they do not read Catholic
papers. This statement may sound
new and extravagant to you. How
ever, | will explain.
Let US take a boy Who leaves col
lege-a Catholic college. He goes to
work. Here, in his profession or
trade, he daily meets with all kinds
of people, mostly Indifferent, some
non Catholics and not few with an
anti i-Catholic inclination He often
has to listen to conversations, dis
cussions, remarks and insinuations,
offensive to all Catholic sentiment
At first he is startled at hearing this,
and it deeply grieves him; and in the
beginning, If he is a boy of the right
caliber, he will make bold to answer
and manfully defend his religious
convictions, as they were rightly
taught him. But then, these people
| will laugh at him, ridicule and snuh
him, and will tell him of their eX
perience and of happenings and con
| ditions, most of the time malicious
| lies or misrepresentation of facts, fol
| which he had no arguments of con
itradiction, as he had never heard o1
these facts at school. This dis
| couragesa him, and from then on he
will hold his peace, and gradually hi
| will grow used to this scattering o
his high ideals, and little by little
even thoughts of distrust will entel
his mind, which slowly, but surely
will grow stronger by the reading o
| some articles in our daily papers, ant
the occasional perusal of those vii,
anti Catholic sheets which are spreat
broadcast all over this country 70
i the purpose of Killing the Catholi
4 Church. He reads in these paper
articles intended to lessen in his est
nation the noble object of our Church

THE HOLY NAME SOCIETIES

For in truth in the first place it
strives to secure that the reVered ma
jesty Of God be honored in all holi-
ness by all, and at the same time
that observance be given to all author
ity of men in as much as it proceeds
from divine authority. But, in conse-
quence of this, lest reverence of this
sort become a vain thing, it desires
also that obedience be given to divine
and human laws from the Christian
conscience of duty which governs all
life. So, to omit the rest, these
things refresh us exceedingly; that
it strives hard to repress the habit,
so widely diffused, of swearing false
ly and Of calling on God with rash
ness and even with cOntumely; that
it loses no opportunity Of testifying
to the faith in Our Lord with the
greatest sOlemnity; that it invites the
children of the Church, especially the
young, to approach frequently and to-
gether Him Who is contained in the
Eucharist, the fount of holiness.
Moreover, we have learned with
pleasure that, while the members al
ready number more than a million,
nearly half of them are accustomed
to refresh themselves with the
Heavenly Banquet each month.
Much, then, with Gods help, has been
accomplished by the work of this So
ciety, the praise for which the
Dominican Fathers rightly share with
you.
But you see how much remains to
be done, especially that youth may
grow up under the care of Mother
Church, and may be strengthened by
the frequent use of the Most Holy
Eucharist against either the sloth and
weakness of the times or WEAKNESS
Of the religious spirit.
Such is your pastoral diligence that
we do not eXhort you further: the
gravity of the matter urges you
enough, united as it is with the saliva
tion of so many souls. AS harbinger
of Heavenly gifts and pledge of our
special benevolence we very lovingly
impart the Apostolic Benediction to,
beloved sons and venerable brothers,
to our beloved son, John McNicholas,
moderator Of the Society of the Holy
Name in the United States, and to
all the members of that society.
Given at Rome at ST. Peters, on
January IS, 1917, the third year of
our POntificate.
