fest weakness has been in a failure to
understand other peoples and to ap-
preciate the moral forces working in
them.
She may not know the spirit OF the
good-natured. tolerant, war-hating giant
she would challenge. She may over
estimate, as she has done before in the
case of other nations. the influence OF
sordid motives. of the inertia of comfort
and of dissentient elements among US,
which she may expect to paralyze our
action.
Germany may push us at once into a
league to enforce just peace. She may
force us into an organization of our
potential military strength on the one
hand, and into moral leadership in the
maintenance OF international Justice on
the other.
"Thenceforth our isolation from the
wars and welfare of the rest OF the
world would be at an end When peace
would come, the eyes Of our people. in
spit of warnings Of statesmen who are
looking backward, would be opened not
| only to the wisdom, but to the necessity
OF our leading the nations into a per-
manent worlds league to enforce peace"
Take T. r.. to Task.
In speaking OF the League to Enforce
Peace Mr.. Taft scored former President
Theodore Roosevelt, who has spoken of
| the league as feeble folly"
Mr. Roosevelt made this criticism ap-
parently without reading the leagues
proposals." he said, and so many things
are mischievous shams unless by Teddy"
Senator Borah has denounced the plan
Of the league to be 'heinous, immoral and
vicious"
These are three formidable adjectives,"
| declared Mr.. Taft, "of which one would
seem adequate to carry the argument.
The Senator should look to his laurels in
| the field of verbal warfare and slaughter
because such leniency may exclude him
from the class of epithetical statesmen" 1"

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

"The inevitable desire Of labor"
wrote Socialist publication, lis to
get as much money for as little work
as possible; and equally the inevitable
desire of capital is to get as much
work for as little wages as possible"
This inclination, like other Sin
evitable desires" of fallen nature, and
all human selfshness and rebellion
against the law of God, must be COM
bated by labor and capital alike.
The first condition for successful
resistance is that both parties ac-
knowledge the existence of these
evils and conscientiously seek to
determine their extent. 1t is not right
for either side merely to point to the
faults of the other.
Here is the fatal mischief done by
Socialism. Here, too, is the serious
harm often caused by some of the
foremost representatives of labor.
Capital is no less to blame when it
draws it's robes of righteousness
about it and prepares to throw it's
stones at labor.
Confession, repentance, and a firm
resolution of amendment are the
need of the hour, and not self-justifi-
cation. The remedies to end the
struggle between the different classes
of society, as Pope Leo XIII pointed
out, are to be found only in the pre-
cepts of the Gospel, as always taught
by the Catholic Church.
While it is too much to expect that
either of the great bodies of capital
and labor will forthwith lay aside the
old Adam and instantly unite to
bring about the reign of Christian
charity and social justice upon earth,
yet it is the duty of every individual
worker and employer to contribute at
least his share towards bringing
about this happy contamination of
Divine Will.
On the part of labor, let there be
conscientious service; on the part of
capital, adequate remuneration; on the
l;,rt of both, mutual regard, cOnsidera-
ton and forbearance.
Let love be without Discrimination, -
writes st. Paul, hating that which is
evil; clinging to that which is good;
loving one another with the charity
OF brotherhood 3. to no man rem
dering evil for evil; providing good
things not only in the sight of God
but also in the sight Of men,"
This high ideal Catholics must
seek to realize in their lives. Thus
the good example of even a few fear
less and upright men, inspired in all
their actions by the intiexible princi-
pies of their Holy Faith, will act like
handful of leaven to uplift the en-
tire mass.

ALONG THE WAY.

There are many helpful things to do
Along life's way,
Helps to the helper, if we but knew,
From day to day!
So many troubled hears to soothe,
So many pathways rough to smooth,
So many comforting words to say
To hearts that falter along the way.
Here is a lamp Of hope gone out
Along the way.
Some one stumbled and fell, no doubt,
But. brother, stay &
Out of thy store of oil refill;
Kindle the courage that shoulders
STILL
Think what Jesus would do today
For one who has fallen beside the
way.
How many lifted hands still plead
Along life's way!
The old, sad story of human need
Reads on for aye.
But let. us follow the Saviour's plan
Love unstinted to every man.
Content if, at most, the world should
say,
"He helped his brother along the
way
