Crittenden Girls Cannot Hear Mass.
Some time ago the Catholic young
women at the Crittenden home in
Denver were notified by the executive
board that they were no longer per-
mitted to attend services at Catho-
lie church during their time at the
institution. They were also informed
that they must be present at all non
Catholic services that take place at
the home. A Denver priest investi-
gated the matter and found that no
sufficient reason existed why these
young women should now be denied
the privilege of assisting at divine SER
vice in st. Anthony's hospital chapel.
The final word of the president of the
board is this: IF the Catholics at the
home don't like these conditions they
can leave" To say the least, such ac-
ton is not only unfair but decidedly
un-American.

never had to look far. In fact, one of
the prolific sources of dissatisfaction
among Mexican planters where this
system of 'peonage" prevailed was
the varying schemes devised to entice
laborers away from other plantations.
In measure, the system was self-ad
justing-the thrifty laborer hesitat-
ed to ask too great advances, and the
planter hesitated to make too great
advances to the "shiftless."
AS a matter of fact, the system was
gradually disappearing from Mexico.
and in time doubtless would have been
found, as in the United States, only in
those sections noted for their igno-
rance and backwardness.
To urge peonage as pretext for
revolution in Mexico is an exceeding
ly dangerous precedent for Americans,
especially for those living in the
southern states. If Mexico deserved
a revolution because some of its ig-
norant laborers were in "peonage,
the same can be urged, with much
greater justice, for the negroes in the
southern states In those common
wealths the blacks are "peons" to an
extent involving vastly worse condi-
tons and vastly greater numbers than
ever dreamed of in Mexico.
AS indicating the labor conditions in
our own southern states, the follow
! ing advertisement appearing in the
Atlanta Journal, May s, 1914, is illum-
| mating:

| ter Banks, yellow>negro, about twenty

ed to Estes Bros, Gay, Georgia.
How would southern politicians like
to see revolution started by social.
istic agitators among the blacks OF
the South, which would have as it's OBJ
ject the cancelling of all debts and
the killing or driving out of all the big
land owners and the division of their
properties among the negro "revolu
tionists?" Such an enterprise surely
would be very unpopular among the
southern aristocracy. 1t would be es
pecially so if some foreign govern
ment were to arm the blacks and cod
die their socialistic leaders and con
done their bloody deeds. If, in add
ton to this, the foreign government
were to assist in the overthrow of the
established government at Washing
ton, it would be called the vilest &C
ever committed by one state agains
another. For those possessing
knowledge of current events, the par
allel need be extended no further.

INGERSOLL'S TRIBUTE TO
WOMAN.

1t takes a hundred men to make an
encampment, but one woman can
make. a home. | not only admire
woman as the most beautiful object
ever created, but l reverence her as
the redeeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all the virtues, the pledge
of all perfect qualities of heart and
head.
1t is not just nor right to lay the
sins of men at the feet of women. 1t
is because women are so much better
than men that their faults are consid-
cred greater.
A mans desire is the foundation of
his love, but a woman's desire is born
of her love. The one thing in this
world that is constant, the one peak
that rises above all clouds, the one
window in which the light forever
burns, the one star that darkness can
not quench, is woman's love.
1t rises to the greatest heights, 1t
sinks to the lower depths. 1t forgives
the most cruel injuries. 1t is peren-
NAL of life and grows in every eli
mate. Neither GOODNESS nor neglect,
harshness nor cruelty, can extinguish
it.
A woman's love is the perfume OF
the heart. This is the real love that
subdues the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles of art; that gives
us music all the way from the cradle
song to the grand closing symphony
that bears the soul away on wings of
fire. A love that is greater than
power, sweeter than life and stronger
than DEATH
