CHAPLAINS AND DEFENCE
OF ARMY CHAP
LAlNs DIFFICULTY ENDED.

1t is satisfactory to know that steps
have been taken by the War Depart
ment to remove the difficulty in the
appointment of Catholic chaplains for
the army created by the provision in
the National Defence Act that, in
making such appointments, prefer
ence shall be given to applicant vet
Grams" There are about seventeen
vacant chaplaincies; and arrange
ments have been made to have ap-
pointments made in accordance with
the UNCONVENTIONAL apportionment,
which has been hitherto observed, and
which was based upon the proportion
of membership in various churches in
relation to population. The provision
above referred to would make it pos
sible for one denomination to have
more applicant veterans than any
other denomination. Secretary of
War Baker saw the injustice Of the
provision when the matter was pre-
scented to him by Rev. Lewis j.
O'Hern, G. S. P, who represents the
Catholic hierarchy in matters per
tanning to the Catholic chaplaincies,
as well as by representative of other
denominations; and, as a result, an
amendment to the Army Appropria-
ton Bill provides for the repeal of
the obnoxious clause.

shipped; CT at any rate, that it does
not give Congress the right to pro
hibit commerce entirely under the
guise of regulation. 1t is nice con-
stitutional question. In the minds of
the men who wrote the Constitution
there was probably no intention of
enabling Congress to exercise any
such power as is contemplated by the
law that we are considering.
Nevertheless, this would not be the
first instance in which the. language
of the Constitution has been inter
preted to mean more than the Fathers
intended it to include. The Constitu-
ton has been more than once amend
ed by the process of judicial construc-
ton. With a Constitution that is SO
difficult Of formal amendment as
ours, it is not only desirable, but
necessary, that the Supreme Court
should utilize this method of virtual
amendment Otherwise, our social
and. industrial life would be strangled
by Constitution that was made to
fit the conditions of the Eighteenth
Century. 1t is the belief of the
friends of the Federal Child Labor
Law that the Supreme Court has al.
ready virtually amended the inter.
state commerce clause of the Consti
tuition sufficiently to provide basis
for declaring the present measure un
constitutional. When it decided that
the law forbidding the transportation
of lottery tickets from one state to
another was within the power OF
Congress, it seems to have sanctioned
the principle that the constitutional
the states includes the power to pro
hibit such interstate commerce as is
harmful to the public welfare

A Blind, Exiled
Poet-Bishop of Mexico
PUBLISHES A VOLUME OF POEMS
IN SPAIN.

A very beautiful book of verse,
says the correspondent at Madrid
of "The Irish Catholic" has been
published by the Bishop OF San Luis
de Potosi, Rt. Rev. Joseph Monies de
Oca, one of the most pathetic figures
at present in Spain. This Mexican
Bishop was on his way to Rome to
pay his visit ''ad 1imina' when the
news came that the Mexican revolu-
tionaries had destroyed his diocese,
numbering many of his priests, abol-
ishing all his diocesan institutions, and
confscating both his diocesan and per-
sonal property. In addition to this,
his eyes became affected, and he prac-
tically lost his sight. Weighed down
by so many misfortunes, he came from
Rome to Spain, where he has since
resided. He was one of the most dis
tinguished literary figures OF Spanish
America, his earliest poems, published
forty years ago, meeting with very
general applause He has devoted his
spare time during the last two years
to literary labor, and the book OF verse
I have referred to, entitled by the
Banks of Hundred Streams is one
OF the results. 1t has attracted very
favorable notice in literary circles in

THE OTHER SON,

One day two welldressed, but
somewhat intoxicated, young men
staggered into a Macon, Mo, studio,
and said they wanted to have their
pictures taken.
All right, boys" said the photog-
rapher; how do you want me to pose
you?"
= Well tend to-(hic)-zat," one of
the lads replied; won't we, Joey?"
They pulled out couple of whisky
TASKS, and zigzagged over to the
background screen. There they ar
ranged themselves, each with an arm
around the others neck, while their
free hands held their bottles to their
lips.
Now, shoot away, old man."
The two young men lived back, in
the country. Instead of taking the
cars home they decided to walk on
the track. On a curve around the hill
one of the boys was run over and
killed by train. At the inquest the
half-empty whisky flask, which was
not broken, was in evidence
Some weeks later an old woman at
tired in mourning visited the studio,
and gave her name to the photog-
rapher.
Il heard you took photograph of
my son q while back" she said. Il
want it."
The photographer tried to protect
the memory of his customer.
1t wasn't very good picture" he
explained Maybe you've got an
old one at home; send that down, an
I'll copy it for you without charge"
But l want the one he had taken

The photographer still hesitated.
He was a good man., and he had a
gentle old mother Of whom this wonl-
an in black reminded him.
"Pd-Td rather not make the pic
ture UP for you," he told her; its
not good. You won't like it at all.
The truth u.s." he added desperately,
'he had it taken with a bottle of
liquor in his mouth"
That's just why I want it," said
the mother. "You see, I've got an
other son.

ISLANDER. ON FOREIGNERS.

The critics of the Church say that
the vast majority of the paraders for
Sunday saloons in Chicago were Cath
Ollie, and the Catholic Church, with
its foreign-born population will never
submit to Prohibition, even on one
day of the week. Happily the SANDER
about foreigners being welded to
drink and saloon laWlessness, is on it's
last legs.
The German-American Alliance in
New York has passed a resolution
prohibiting the use of the name of
the organization by brewers appear
ing before legislative bodies.
The strongly German Catholic coun-
ty of Mercer in Ohio, casts majority
vote for Prohibition. A majority of
the Swedes in Minnesota are in
favor of Prohibition Some Of the
leading Prohibition priests in the
United States are Polish-American
and German-American Father j.
Kubacki of South Bend, Ind, writes
US:
When it dawned on me that the
liquor traffic causes parochial dis
turbances, and is ready to fight even
with physical violence, against general
decency and virtue as teach it, re-
solved to fight the traffic; and ! shall
continue to fight to the end Of my life,
or as long as the saloon exists. -
Three saloons in my neighborhood
went broke for want of customers !
others will soon follow"

Apostle Of Holy Name
FATHER McKENNA, O. P, WAS
BURIED IN NEW YORK.

The funeral of Very Rev. Charles
H. McKenna, o. P, who died in Jack
sonville, Fla, took place February 26
with solemn requiem Mass in st. Pat
rick's Cathedral, New York, Rt. Rev.
Bishop Hayes officiating as celebrant.
Cardinal Farley occupied the throne
in the sanctuary, and pronounced the
dissolution. Seven bishops, two hun
dred priests and more than four thou
sand laymen were in attendance at
the services.
Father McKenna was eighty-two
years old. He was ordained a priest
in 1867, and for forty years was a
Dominican missionary in all parts of
the United States. During his active
work he was referred to by Cardinal
Gibbons as one of the greatest mis-
sionaries this country has ever pro-
duced. In later years Father McKen-
ma devoted all his time to the work
OF the Holy Name Society, one or the
strongest Of the Catholic organiZa-
tons, which now has q membership
of 100000. He was at the head of
this society for twenty years. He
became i'll two years ago and about
three months ago was compelled to
go South for his health.

SINCERITY.

If there is one virtue more than
another that the Christian re-
ligion inculcates, it is the virtue
Of sincerity - sincerity towards
God and towards man. It is this
quality which distinguishes child
hood in the light under which
Christ viewed it when he tells us
that we must become like unto
little children. 1t is one of the
predominant traits Of those souls
that are nearest to God, His
saints. Their sanctity in a far
greater degree than is ordinarily
believed lay in the absolute sin
cerity with which they treated
their God and their fellow-beings.
For this virtue causes a man to
prefer the truth in all things
rather than his own selfish inter
ests. 1t is, perhaps, the almost
universal absence Of sincerity,
that is Of genuine openness of
character, that caused David to
conclude that all men were liars.
st. Gregory the Great speaking
Of sincerity, which he termed
simplicity, says it is laughed at
by the world. The holy doctor
might also have added that it is
very frequently laughed at by
those who consider themselves
not of the world. 1t is one of the
inconceivable mysteries of life
how a person who claims Chris
tianity as the guide of his actions,
his conduct, and his speech, can
at the same time cultivate and
practice the vice Of deception.
Very frequently, it is true, he will
allege the cause of general wei
fare, Of religion, Of his family, OF
the state as an eXtenuating cir
cumstance to cover and to excuse
his lack Of sincerity: Business
interests frequently are advanced
las a reason for dealing insincere-
ly with others. Waving such
considerations, it may be stated
| that even among Christians, and
among Catholics, sincerity in It's
pristine, genuine purity is so rare
that the person who.really prac.
tees it is generally looked upon
with suspicion. Not even its rare
ness, however, can excuse other
| Christians for their failure IL
cultivating a virtue so necessary
to our correct relations with oul
| Father in heaven The mos
charming feature, speaking from
a natural viewpoint, of genuine
| friendship is the utter, complete
sincerity that characterizes muta

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
DRINK PROVES TO BE INJURY TO
STUDENTS.

With students, particularly, the ac-
ton of alcohol and special intellectual
and nervous strain operate frequently
to bring about very obstinate nervous
troubles. There are many more
breakdowns from beer than from
books
This fact is recognized by the
scholarly men who have charge Of the
United States Army and Navy
schools These have absolutely for
hidden the use Of all alcoholic liquors,
including beer, to their bright young
students in the art OF scientific
assassination.
These objections are shared by the
majority of our university heads.
Their general attitude toward alcohol
is ably summed up in a letter from
Dr. Howard McClenehan, dean OF
Princeton University who says: I'VE
regard drinking as harmful, especial
| ly for young men, and we therefore
are making every effort TO discour-
| age and prevent it, We forbid abao-
lutely the keeping or drinking of al
coholic liquors in college buildings or
dormitories. We forbid also the fire.
quenting of saloons and drinking
places. In addition, the University
| conducts a course of education upon
the influence Of drink"
Dr. Charles w. Eliot, President
Emeritus Of Harvard University,
writes me: MY observation among
students of Harvard University dur
ing the last sixty-fye years is that
the use of alcohol among them has
very much particularly
during the last twenty-five years
This Improvement has been the result
of voluntary action altogether. Local
ly in Cambridge the absence of
saloons has been Of advantage. So
far as I am able to Judge, the recent
physiological demonstrations, that al
coholic drinks diminish efficiency in
all occupations, have not yet had
much effect on the educated class;
but, as these demonstrations become
known / cannot but think that they
will REINFORCE the general tendency
towards temperance.
For myself, | can perhaps best
put my conclusions about the use of
alcohol in the following way: If I
were to begin life over again, I would
i. start as a total abstainer from alco-
holic drinks, and would not offer
/. them to friends or guests in my
house. This conclusion is based on
the conviction that alcoholism is the
greatest evil which AFFECTS the white
race-first, because of its own effects,
and secondly, because it induces or
promotes other grave evils"

VoCATIONs.

One of the effects of the present
war in Europe will be the lessen
ing not only of the number Of the
clergy, but also Of the number Of
vocations to the priesthood. With
SO many millions of men and
youth, physically fit, cut off by
death, a serious problem will
soon confront the bishops Of the
various Catholic countries. Speak
ing on this subject recently, the
Right Reverend Peter Pechenard,
Bishop of scissors, France, gives
the following instruction to his
clergy with regard to their duty
in endeavoring to replenish their
thinned ranks:
You will reflect on it before
God, in the silence Of meditation
and you will carefully try and
find out how you can satisfy this
duty. You will often draw the
