A PRETTY FAIR TEST.

A Presbyterian minister in Seattle
recently expressed his views OH Pro-
hibition in that city, as follows:
"Of course there were people who
left this town and State when it went
dry, but they were people we could
very well afford to lose; namely, they
We're saloon keepers, barroom buns
and the usual hangers-on of saloons
THE legitimate, stable population of
the State and city has increased
very much since the State went dry.
We had 315 saloons in the city, and
yet [ do not believe you will find fiji.
teen business houses that are empty.
They have all been converted into
other stores and other kinds of bust
nesSes. One merchant wrote me that
he had opened three shoe stores in
buildings formerly occupied by saloons
and that he is selling fifty per cent
more children'S shoes than ever be-
fore. People are buying beefsteak in
stead of soup bones. The general
business of the town has increased
from ten to forty per cent. The bank
deposits i'll the last twelve months
i'll the national banks of the State
have increased $12,0OO,OOO and i'll the
State Bank $16,0OO,OOO In other
words, the deposits have increased
$28,000,000 Nine months of that in
crease have been under prohibition.
Our people are prosperous, happy,
contented, and rejoicing that the
State is dry. We are enforcing the
law in the city eighty-five per cent
to the good and throughout the State
ninety per cent. The saloons shall
never return. The liquor interests OF
California, Kentucky and Montana
have spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars to discredit, violate, and de-
stroy our law, but they have failed"

MOTHER GENERAL DIED
MOTHER MARGARET, OF ST. AU-
GUSTIN, SUPERIOR OF THE
LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR.
DIED RECENTLY.

The sad news of the death of Rev.
Mother Margaret, of St Augustin,
was received recently from France,
and caused general sorrow among the
Little Sisters of the Poor. Mother
Margaret was the Superior-Gene of
the order throughout the world, and
was generally known as the Good
Mother" and was very much loved
by all for her sterling qualities, noble
character and great piety and learn
ing. She died at the Motherhouse of
the order, La Tour, st. Joseph, Ille-et-
Vilaine, France. At an early age she
determined TO consecrate her life to
God in their service, and during all
the beautiful years of her religious
life, even when she had risen to the
highest Office within the gift of her
order, governing the entire commun-
ity throughout the world, she re-
manned ever the simple, humble, low
ing and devoted servant of Gods
poor, the old men and women aban-
doned by all and compelled in their
old age to seek the sheltering love
and care of the Little Sisters of the
Poor
When the religious orders were eX-
PEELED from France by the govern
ment, and schools and converts and
asylums were closed, with the idea
of winning the. hearts of the pupils
from God, the Little Sisters of the
Poor were nermitted to remain in
France, for, if they were to be exiled,
what could an atheistic State do with
the multitude of aged, sick, helpless
and abandoned poor, even though that
government had proudly boosted it
would extinguish the lights in the
heavens? Mother Margaret was at
| the head of the order during that aw-
full period; she herself, as became a
true religious, winning the esteem and
respect even of the enemies of the
Church.

An Interesting Meeting
EMPRESS AND GRAND DUCHESS
WILL SPEND EASTER HOLI.
DAYS AT CONVENT,

An interesting meeting will be held
this spring at the famous Benedictine
convent of Chiemsee, Tyrol. The
young Grand Duchess of Luxembourg,
having expressed desire to pass a
few days at Easter at the convent,
permission was given her to leave her
Grand Duchy accompanied by her
mother, the permission being granted
after an express appeal to the Kaiser
1t is only now that all arrangements
are made that news has reached Der.
lin that the Empress Zita of Austria
an old schoolmate of the Grand
Duchess of Luxembourg, also pro.
poses to be the guest of the Bene.
dictine nuns during Easter. The two
royal ladies are both devout Catholics,
The young empress comes of the fam
lily of Bourbon-Palma. Several other
youthful companions of the royal
ladies will be assembled at the Con
vent of Chiemsee to meet them. The
convent is beautifully situated and is,
moreover, very secluded.

A NEW VENTURE.

The seriousness Of the step
which the United States is about
to take is apparent to all. Fol
lowing the sound advice and
craftsmanship left us by George
Washington, this country has al
ways sought to keep out OF en-
tangling foreign alliances and of
foreign aggression. At the pres
ent time, however, the vaStnesS of
the world war has proven so ex-
tensive in it's manifold ramifica-
tions that it was but u question of
time when America would be
obliged to take her stand in self
defense. During the past hundred
years our country has grown so
enormously and it's interests have
become SO vast and widespread
that it is impossible i'll the face of
universal disaster to stand alone.
In the early days, as small
struggling group Of colonies, our
ancestors were obliged to use
every ounce Of strength in order
to insure their self-preservation
They were Il small nation with in
terests centered wholly within
their own borders. AT present
our ships sail every ocean and
make every port; our citizens are
to be found in every civilized land
Of the earth; the immensely of-our
resources has made us the wealth
lest nation on the face of the
globe, and has made our CONNER.
cial power felt i'll every mart of
trade. In spite of all this the
world will now behold us for the
first time i'll a big war; for the
first time America is obliged to
seek out her foe across the ex-
panse Of the sea for the first time
we are forced to take an active
and a powerful hand in interna,
tional affairs. This new venture
will finally stamp America as
truly world power of the first
magnitude. We pray to God that
the war may be neither long no1
bloody. We pray that whatever
sacrifices are needed, America will
cheerfully give of her strength.
her power, even Of her blood
Above all things we devotedly
trust that at the end Of hostilities
the dove Of peace may wing its
flight across America, country
united, strong, stainless and vic,
tolious.

From this table it is seen that six
denominations have an excess of
chaplains, the largest being the Epis-
copal, which has surplus of six.
Four denominations have shortage.
the most notable being the Catholic.
which has a deficit of six.
Armed with these facts, Father
O'Hern recently had an interview with
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, and on
the part OF the hierarchy requested
that the Catholic Church be given a
proper quota of chaplains.
At present there are forty chaplains
in the navy, nine Of whom are Cath
olics, but were the Church given all
that she is entitled to, she would have
fifteen at this time.
While not conserving to adopt the
plan of distributing the chaplains &C
cording to church membership, Mr.
Daniels offered Father O'Hern anoth
er chaplaincy, which now brings oul
number up to ten.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

The movement against the sale and
manufacture of alcoholic beverages
has made great progress in the
United States. There are but two
States, in fact, which are absolutely
''wet'-that is, which have neither
prohibition nor local option legisla-
ton. These are New Jersey and Ne
vada. And there is but very little
territory left in the local option
States which is not dry by the vote
Of the community. National Prohibit
ton is being urged upon Congress,
to make more universal and effective
the suppression of alcohol, ard a
more or less distinguished leader of
the people has announced his inten-
ton to make it the paramount issue
of the presidential campaign of 1920.
All of these facts show the impor-
lance of the question. 1t is some
thing which the people of this coun-
try must study closely and consider
well. Catholics have likewise some
responsibility in this respect. AS u
rule, they have been rather Indifferent
to the proposition, or have treated it
in a superficial manner. The great
question is as to whether prohibition
is really effective in reducing to an
appreciable minimum the evils Of eX-
cessive alcoholism and whether as Il
consequence it will work for the good
Of the community. If it will, it de-
serves to succeed.

Benedictines in America
NEW PROJECT UNDER CONSIDER
ALTON BY CONVERTS TO DE
VELOP THE. CHURCH LITURGY
AND ITS STUDY IN AMERICA,

Plans are being perfected by small
group OF Americans now at Downside
Abbey. Somerset, England, for the
establishment in the United States of
Benedictine priory and later of a
great abbey church, to be devoted
primarily to the development of the
liturgical worship of the Roman
Catholic Church. The priory will
probably be erected in the vicinity OF
New York City.
One of the projectors OF the plan
is Dom Leonard Sargent, formerly
Master Of Novices of the Protestant
Episcopal Order of the Holy Cross,
but since his conversion to Catholic
ism several years ago a Benedictine
monk attached to Downside Abbey
Dom Sargent, who is in the United
States in the interest of the move
ment, has received promises of sup
port from hierarchy and laity alike.
The plan is understood to have the
sanction of Pope Benedict XIV, who
st. Peter took the name of the found
er OF the order.
Successor of Ancient Houses.
AT recent meeting of the Catholic
Converts League held at the Hotel
Plaza, New York, Dom Sargent, be-
fore representative gathering of
clergy and Catholic society folk, de-
scribed the project. He said:
Although the establishment will be
made somewhere in the East, the
priory, it is hoped, will supply need
that is felt in many parts of the Cath
Ole Church in America The aim is
to develop the Church's liturgical
worship in such a way that the laity
may have a share in 1.-THE High
Mass and the divine Office sung daily
in the priory chapel, and in time in
the abbey church. Here will be af-
forded also to clergy and laity an
opportunity for either a formal re-
treat or for spiritual rest and refresh
ment. Furthermore, it is hoped that
the monks may make some useful
contribution to the American Church
in the fostering of ecclesiastical
scholarship.
IF from the Abbey of ST. Gregory
the Great at Downside, native
American house can be founded in
this country, we shall have among us
q successor of Douai, of Westminster,
of the ancient Spanish monasteries,
a continuance in this western world
of life that goes far back in history
and that has been blessed and fructi-
fed by the blood of it's martyrs.
For all this the Americans at
DoWnSide must ask the help that their
cOmpatriots can give them. Land
must be secured in the country, a
part of the priory begun, and suffi-
cient endowment assured from which
the community can live. If, in later
years, an abbey school is established,
that will be one source of income.
But at the outset the needs of the
house must be provided in other
ways

And yet-and yet, the cruelty
Of His enemies succeeded in com.
passing His ruin. They seized
bound, and condemned Him be-
fore the widest farce of mock
trial hitherto witnessed among
men. They heaped outrages upon
Him; they trailed Him in the
dust, nailed Him to cross, and
babe Him to come down if such
power were His. He descended
not, and by acquiescence to their
will, seemingly admitted final de-
feat. The multitude, the wild, un-
reasoning, usually mistaken null
titude gloried in His unmasking
Israel was indicated; the syna-
gogue was declared supreme
Rome had once more triumphed
i'll her power. He had gone the
way of all impostors.
ana yet-and yet, the strange,
the unwonted, the divine thing
happened. 1t happened in all the
simplicity Of divine occurrences.
After remaining in the tomb fo1
several days in order to give proof
that He was surely dead, He
merely cast aside the bands that
held Him bound to earth S laws
He eXerted His will in but the
slightest measure, and the tomb
yaWned in utter impotency to hold
Him further. The power lie had
claimed asserted itself even as il
had done in the case of Lazarus
and the young man Of Naim and
the youthful daughter Of Jairus
By His inherent strength and
divinity this Man so reviled and
given up, even by His weakened
adherents, rose gloriously and
with cOnsummate ease from the
deadly depths into which His
enemies had plunged Him. Christ
arose from the dead; His teaching
is thereby indicated; His mir
acles were real; His authority, as
claimed, was divine. Had lie
failed to dethrone death we
would, i'll the words Of the
Apostle, Of all men have been the
most miserable. But Christ saved
us that shame; He rewarded oul
faith, warmed our charity, and
placed our hope upon the very
pinnacle Of absolute fulflIment
He rose from the dead: He is
Christ and God, today and for all
eternity. The world one day will
shudder before His terrible
tribunal OF Judgment. Today we
bow down i'll humble alteration
and tilial affection for our Leader
our own beloved Redeemer.
