NEARING THE DEAD LINE

It is known fact of contem-
porary history that scarcely any
civilized country can present a
greater variety Of theories and
faddists than can be found in the
United States. 1t would seem
that the celebrating air Of free
dom is too strong and energizing
for weak lungs accustomed to the
oppressive atmosphere of many
foreign lands. The result in such
persons is, very frequently, to
bring about a case of mental YER
tigo, and dizziness, a species of
idiotic exaltation. Under this
spell, Imagination is allowed to
run free and unhampered, and it
soon bodies forth strange crea-
lures. This offspring of magma
ton sometimes takes the form of
airy vaporings, signifying moth
ing: at other times they stand
forth in full panoply and galvan-
lied life, like the monster in
Frankenstein.
lie this be true, as it emphatic
ally is true, in time Of peace, the
intenseness Of war produces a cor
respondingly intensified output

Honor Prison Chaplain
INMATES OF STATE PENiTENTI.
AIRY TENDER RECEPTION
TO PRIEST.

Six hundred prisoners at the
Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadel-
phia, rendered a reception recently to
the prison chaplain, Rev. Michael A.
O'Kane, S. j., in honor of the fiftieth
anniversary of his entrance into the
Society of Jesus. The event, which
took place within the walls of the
penitentiary, gave evidence of the
affection with which Father O'Kane
is regarded by the men. A concrete
and substantial proof of their regard
was embodied in the presentation of
a purse, the gift of the inmates, who
insisted upon making the contribution
from their meagre earnings in the
prison. Father O'Kane was so affected
by the gift that it was with difficulty
he responded with a few words, eX-
pressing his gratitude and apprecia-
ton of the good will and affection
evidenced by the men in his behalf

GOOD SHEPHERD NUN
MINiSTERiNG ANGEL TO FALLEN
GIRLS OF NEGRO RACE cELE-
BRATES JUBILEE.

The celebration of the golden jubilee
of the religious profession of Sister
Mary of St. Clare, of the Convent OF
the Good Shepherd, New Orleans, La.
which took place last Sunday, was a
noteworthy one, as it did honor to an
humble nun, whose work, in New Or
leans, for the most pitiful and aban
doned of Gods creatures, the fallen
colored women and girls, had added
another beautiful page to the history
of her noble Order.
Fifty years ago Miss Kurtz, a native
of Canton, Ohio, renowned the world
and professed her final VOWS in the
Convent of the Good Shepherd in ST.
Louis, Mo. Six months later Sister Clare
was sent to the convent in New Or
leans, and forty years ago was given
charge of the department which deals
exclusively with the rescue of the poor
fallen and abandoned women and girls
of the colored race. At that time the
quarters for this work was delapi-
dated structure in the rear of the
grounds of the institution devoted to
the white race, but Sister M. Clare
labored and prayed for better habita-
ton for the forsaken ones in her
charge. At length she began novena
that some might be inspired by God
to come to her aid, and, on the third
day of the novena the great colored
philanthropist, Thomy Lafor, made
the Sisters a gift of 100000 for the
purpose.
His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV,
honored the noble worker in the vine
yard of Christ by sending a cablegram
to Sister Clare, through the Mother
General of the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd in st. Louis, conveying to
her his special apostolic benediction.

OCTOBER
Written for The Catholic Bulletin
by DR.. James Henderson.)

There's glory on the hillside
And beauty in the glade,
And where the flaming banners stream
A regal spread is laid;
All crimson is the maple;
All brown and yellow gold
The myriad fronds of sentinels
That grace the silent void.
And day by day the variant hues
Wear into garb of brown,
And DER the carpet of the wood
The leaves come fluttering down;
Night spreads her deepening shadows
On the glamor of the day,
Like mother when at dusk she tucks
Her darlings safe away.
Oh, may the reverent glory
Stay with us late and long,
Where smiling zephyrs fondly play
And feathered songsters throng;
Till into deep'ning silence float
The Autumn dreams awain,
And mantling SHOWS soft falling
Wrap the brown old earth again!
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-09-29

of her children. She beheld
latent in their hearts the un-
quenchable spark bequeathed to
them, the love of liberty. Free
dom was now endangered. Grid
ing herself with the sword OF
justice, and raising aloft her
beaming brow, she sounded the
tocsln which was heard around
the nation. Instantly her sons,
twenty million strong, stood at
|attention. Her daughters, innum-
cradle they were, drew close
around her as ministering angels
OF mercy to do their share In
soothing her grief.
These twenty million valiant
sons were told that their might,
their Drawn, and their ingenuity
were called upon to quell the
enemy. The thunderous unison
|of their answer, We are ready,
aroused the nations to America s
real character. Many of her sons,
with lmpetuous generosity, waited
no longer: Concord, Lexington,
Bunker Hill, rang in their ears,
and not in vain. Rallying around
the starry banner they became the
mlnute-men Of today. Columbia
named myriads for immediate
service, and the response was in
slant. Here America was seen at
her best. The sons of wealth We'd
with the son Of the artisan; social
and financial barriers disappeared
as IT by magic; the banker and
the laborer, the statesman and the
mechanic, the capitalist and the
farmer recognized but one bond,
one equality, the bond and the
equality of democracy. In this
vast family, as frequently in the
domestic unit, few black sheep
and recalcitrant sons were found !:
but the universal enthusiasm
frowned them down. Columbia,
who had SO often surprised an in
credulous world by her accom-
plishments, aroused the nations to
the highest admiration for her re-
sources and vitality. The re-
Spouse Of America to the call of
freedom is the grandest, the
noblest, the most spontaneous that
ever has been recorded in the his
tory of Liberty.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
THREE MILLION DOLLAR FUND
WILL SERVE SPLENDID PUR-
POSES-V RIOUS WAYS IN
WHICH THIS SUM WILL BE Ex-
PENDED.

That the appeal, made by the
Knights of Columbus, for contributions
to the fund of three million dollars
deserves the hearty support of Catho,
lies and non-C Catholics alike is shown
in the purposes set forth in a circular,
issued by the Order. The conduct OF
the expenditures is in the hands of a
special commission of which Col. P
III. Callahan, of Louisville, KY, is the
able chairman, and detailed report
Of all funds received and expended
will be published throughout the
country. The headquarters of the K.

raised it is proposed to accomplish
the following most laudable purposes:
1. Maintain volunteer Catholic
priests to look after the spiritual wei
fare of our Catholic boys in the train
ing camps.
2. Send about 200 volunteer Cath
Ollie priests abroad Tin addition to
those furnished by the Government

COMPLETING THE CIRCLE
PROPERTY TAKEN FROM cATHO-
Lies AT REFORMATION RE-
TURNS TO CATHOLIC OWNER.


In the sixteenth century, along with
other impoverished and hungry Scot
fish Protestants, a certain Anglican
#prelate, Bishop Leslie, a renegade
member Of an ancient and illustrious
Catholic family, went over into Ire
land where he was rewarded for his
loyalty to the British crown by having
presented to him much land in County
Monaghan, formerly the property. of
Catholics. Years passed, and today
we have the consolation of knowing
that Catholicism. Shane Leslie
is sole heir of all this great estate, in
Guiding the Sinai of Ireland, -
Croagh Patrick, which place Aubrey
de We're, in his unforgettably dramatic
"St. Patrick on Mount Cruachan," has
|enshrined in imperishable verse.

AMERICA AT ITS BEST.

In the days when the Roman
eagle winged his flight free and
supreme under every sky, in every
cline, the Roman citizen, gazing
out upon the world from the
crest of the Capitoline, declared
that Rome was immortal. At the
first sign of danger Rome ever
martialled her legions. Quick to
scent peril in any part of the vast
empire, the generals of Rome fol
lowed where the broadsword
hewed the way. In later days,
however, Rome's energy had de-
generated into effeminacy; pa
triotism was stifed in the fumes
of luxury; but it was not thus in
the brave days of old.
For the past fifty years it has
been the boast Of American citi-
zens that America leads the world.
1t has been said that our vast pop
|ulation, our wealth. and resources,
our energy and initiative, could
easily conquer any known enemy.
By reason of this boast America
has frequently been tainted as a
nation of braggarts. It was easy
to claim supremacy where no one
disputed the claim.
Now all this is changed. The
|seething vortex, that has threat
ened to engulf Europe during the
past three years, has extended its
angry borders until they have
touched our peaceful shores. Like
an electric shock this sudden con-
tact with danger sent thrill
through the American nation.
The time for boasting had passed
the threatening peril had become
a reality. Would America, as
some thought, play the real brag-
CART and now cringe in craven
fear and trepidation at the sound
of battle? Or would she assert
her real strength and stamina and
go forth fearless and intrepid to
conquer.
America is a composite nation.
Her component parts represent
elements from every strand. Each
of these elements carried with it
to our shores the mark Of the lash
inflicted by Gar or Emperor,
king or potentate. Every scar
marked violation of the prin-
lciples of freedom: every scar
would now be a fresh claim on the
allegiance of these elements to-
wards the principles Of liberty
and democracy.
Falr Columbia, standing upon
1.-The hill Of democracy, swept with
maternal glance the vast numbers

THE GREATEST BUSINESS OF
AMERICAN BUSINESS.

If nation desires success and is to
be successful, it's business men must
look to it that it's government closely
follows the laws, so far as they are
known, of national well being. After
governmental organization the first
absolutely necessary condition is the
care of the public health; for without
health, mental and physical, efficiency
with honesty cannot exist. "The care
of the public health is the first duty of
the statesmen said the practical
Disraeli.
The public health is paramount. Do
little or nothing to advance it, and the
nation falls. Among the huge obstruc-
lions to health and efficiency, yes, to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, is alcohol. Because of it's wide
use, it has become the most awful of
all the drugs or dopes which have
fastened upon mankind. There is no
health in alcohol. On the, contrary, it
is an agent of physical and moral i'll
health.
Insanity and Crime Follow Use Of
Alcohol.
Where squalor, immortality, bestial
ity and poverty exist alcohol and
other drugs have sway. Insanity and
crime trail after alcohol, and in its
wake come ill health and disease. A
high authority says: Twenty-Five per
cent of insanity is due to syphilis;
10 per cent is due to accident; 40 per
cent is hereditary, and rs per cent is
due to alcohol" Whether or not these
figures are accurate does not greatly
matter, for certain it is alcohol is
potent in the causation of insanity.
1t is also potent in the causation of
crime. of poverty and of feeble
mindedness. Alcoholism brings sick
ness. and sickness again induces alco-
holism.
Alcohol as beverage not only OPP
poses personal habits, but also the
public, physical and moral health, and
also the public economic health.
Every saloon is public dope shop,
not second in evil to the opium joint.
Alcohol Is truly dope.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-09-29

received an average of ST. ,057,
while road freight brakemen were
given $1,049, and road passenger
brakemen $1,012. This shows
without doubt that railway work
ers Of the United States are really
paid living wage.
The percentage of expenditure
made last year by our railways,
on the basis of $1.00, as follows,
is interesting:
LABOR 40.6UIo
Fuel and locomotive sup
plies 1850
Material for way and
equipment supplies,
and other expenses. -. 15.779e
Loss and damages, 1879
Taxes .... 4.46%
Dividends and surplus. 117SR
Betterments, etc. 1880
Rent-leased roads. 80. 1869
Interest on funded and
unfunded debt. 12.48R
1t will be noticed from the
above that labor received more
than forty per cent, while railway
owners were credited with divi
dends Of but a part of 1850
The railways of the United States
moreover, received the Lowest
rates for transportation Of any
railways in the world. In the
United Kingdom in 1913, freight
transportation produced 2.23c pei
ton per mile, while in the United
States the rates per ton per mile
for freight transportation amount
ed to but .714c.
Our readers, doubtless, will be
grateful to Mr.. Slade for the light
which he throws upon the problem
of the living wage as viewed from
the standpoint Of the railroads
In truth, the thoughtful person
not connected with this industry
in America will admit that there
is too much opposition against oul
railroads. This opposition makes
it difficult to get capital for need
ed improvements, and then the
railroads are blamed for inferior
service. 1t is a case of killing the
goose that lays the golden egg.

Beatification of Nun

Spanish Catholics are taking special
interest in the forthcoming beatifica-
ton of Mother Patrocinio Quiroga,
Abbess of the Carmelite Convent in
Guadalajara, Spain, celebrated
Spanish religious. The Nun of the
Wounds as she was called, owing to
her great devotion to the Five Sacred
Wounds, was a high favorite with
Isabella II, grandmother of King AL
fonso, who takes deep interest in
the cause of the venerable religious.

United States, except Germans
and others exempt by treaty.
Those claiming exemption will be

country. 1t is perfectly fair and
Just that a man who enjoys the
blessings Of a free government
