THE CHURCH IN ALASKA.

The Holy See has appointed Il
Vicar Apostolic for the Church i'll
Alaska. Recently ecclesiastical
conditions were subject to a Pre-
feet Apostolic who usually was u
superior of the Jesuit missions.
From 1867 to 1894, the missions
of Alaska were subject to the
Bishop of Vancouver, B. c. In
the latter year Project Apostolic
was appointed. This was but a
temporary arrangement, and on
account Of conditions it precludcd
the building up Of religion in that
vast territory. The recent APP
pointment places the Church upon
Il solid basis. The Vicar Apostolic
is equivalent to a bishop with a
diocese, the chief difference being
that the bishop has a fixed resi-
dence in his See city, while the
Vicar Apostolic may reside where
he chooses
Christianity was introduced into
Alaska more than one hundred
years ago by Russian traders.
Various missions were established
and the Christian religion made
some progress. 1t was not Cath
olicity, however, but the Russian
orthodox faith. The Jealous work
of the Catholic missionaries i'll
that part of the frozen north has
resulted i'll bringing into the
Church eleven thousand five hun
dEed converts who constitute the
present Catholic population of the
country. All the missions in
Alaska are in charge of the Jesuit
Fathers to whom was assigned the
difficult work Of building up the
Church among the natives. In
1916 there were twenty-five Jesuit
priests, ten Jesuit Brothers, and
fifty-seven nuns of different COM
munitieS who attended to the
spiritual needs Of the Catholic
people. The Sisters conduct four
boarding schools, five day schools,
six hospitals, and one orphanage.
From now on, no doubt, religion
will make even greater strides i'll
that corner Of the world than it
has already done.

of the credential committee and
rejected as 'reactionaries.
1t is a fact known to all those
conversant with conditions that
the only barrier between Carranza
and utter ruin is the adminlstra-
ton in Washington. The new
Constitution is SO worded that all
possible reforms arc made depend
cnt upon executive decree. Car
rama retains complete authority
as dictator. He protested against
the alleged violation OF the Con-
stitution of 1857 by Huerta. 1t
was to reinforce that Constitution
that he placed himself at the head
Of the Revolutionists. Now in
stead of using that document as a
weapon for the needed reforms he
coolly sets it aside and introduces
one OF his own devislng. The
agrarian question has been at the
base OF nearly all the suffcrlngs
to which Mexico has been subject
ed; but the agrarian troubles will
remain and will continue to be-
come worse so long as the farcical
So-called Constitution OF Querctaro
is allowed to be enforced.

same territory there are 1900, 900
Professionals, and about sixten mil
lion Mohammedans, with six or
seven million Jews. About eighty
four per cent Of the people is made
up OF peasants. and in the entire
population only about twenty
three per cent can read or write.
These few facts give us an idea OF
the vast possibilities for good
which will now be opened up to
the Catholic Church ii religious
tolerance becomes an actllality
For it is fact of history that
wherever the Church has entered,
her efforts to educate and to Ca
tholicize the people have met with
the greatest success. 1t may be
noted also that intellectual culture
in Russia is comparatively recent,
and is due chiefly to the influence
Of the Catholic Poles. Hence it is
that wcll-foundcd hopes are held
out that both the Catholic religion
and Catholic schools will make trc-
mendous progress i'll that great
country during the next century,
since next to the church Catholics
are ever Jealous for the main
tcnance and the success OF Catho-
lie schools.

CHANGES IN RUSSIA.

The world was startled last
week. to learn that the iron-clad
rule OF Russia has been broken and
d Republic may be established.
In all such world changes re-
ligion is always more or less
affected. In this case it would
seem that Il new era is about to
dawn for the Catholic Church in
the vast territories recently
dominated over by the Gar.
Among the provisions issued for
the new government we read the
following: Abolition of all So
.cial, religious and national restric-
TONS" This would seem to i'll
dictate that a period of universal
tolerance Of all religions is about
to open i'll that country. The
Catholic Church has never asked
privileges or favors from any gov
eminent: she demands simply
equality and fair opportunities to
permit her to develop along her
own lines and through the efforts
Of her missionaries and the en-
plOyment of her own resources.
So long as the Romanoffs held
sway in Russia the state and the
orthodox church were bound
tightly together in an inextricable
union. Under. the. old system
church and state were SO in
timately connected that the desire
Tor development and expansion be-
came hopeless for any other but
the Russian Greek Church. Now
that the liberal element possesses
the reins- Of government there is
well-founded hope that Catholicity
will soon have the strength and
vigor that have, ever characterized
her when not bound by an un-
breakable handicap.
Education aud religion have
never had a fair chance i'll Russia.
The people as rule were kept in
the densest ignorance, deprived OF
instruction along educational
lines, and bound to the religion of
the Empire. The orthodox church
in European Russia numbered
102, 100000 adherents. Through
out the Empire there are 13,000,-
600 Catholics the majority. Of
whom, are to be found in Russian
Poland, there being scarcely five
millions in Russia proper In the

REMARKABLE TRIBUTE TO IRISH

Whereas, During the darkest days
of our great Civil War the patriotic
hearts in Ireland were with the Unit
ed States in it's effort to sustain the
nation whole and indivisible, and,
Whereas, In Minnesota, as in other
states, the sons of Ireland have shed
the warmth and light of their kindly
human sentiment and affection
throughout our society, and added
many name of lustre and splendid
service to our galaxy of heroes and
statesmen, and,
Whereas, Especially in this 1egisla-
ture the Irish have always been prom
inent, and have not only added to the
eXcitements of our hours of conflict
but have been ever ready to heal the
wounds of legislative battle with the
winning smiles and kindly words of
forgiveness, and have lightened many
dreary days routine by their wit and
pleasantly.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by. the
House and the Senate Concurring, as

mony or celebration as may most fit
tingly do honor to their native land
and most happily entertain the mem

thermore we express our appreciation
of the Irish contingent; our apprecia

Irishman which makes him just as
willing to fight one man as another
and equally willing to bestow his
| smiles and fayOrS and true friendships
| upon one race as upon another, and,
| Be 1t Further Resolved, That this

deliberations to it's Irish American as

Irishman and his achievements, bu

WAR THE PURIFIER
STRICKEN WORLD TURNS TO
CHRIST.

The war gave q terrible shock to
trust in progress. But even before
that people who thought, were whis-
pering that progress was an illusion;
and current in the religious world
set towards those apOcalyptlc hopes
always accompanied by other worldly
fatalism, notes the Yale Review.
Books like Monsignor Benson's Lord
OF the World and the Russian
Solovyoy's brilliant War, Progress,
and the End of History expressed
the curious idea that the modern
humanitarian movement, if not anti
Christ himself, was at least prepara-
ton for anti-Christ.
1t is the supreme test of faith to
live in uncertainty, and to that test
in more ways than one our age is
called. This means that in peculiar
sense, inward and mystic. as well as
outward and practical, it must en-
brace the heroic aspects of the cross.
The world has never been so con-
scious of Christ as in these days OF
horror. Cartoons show Him every
where. The hand of the dead soldier
rests on His wounded feet; the sor-
rowing wife feels His consollng pres
ence. Kaiser and king turn their
backs on Him or pierce Him with the
bayonet. To His gray figure on the
cross, touched with dawn in the
mists that rise from the profounds
of mountain chasms. climb bowed
professions of phantom mourners,
chanting in all the tongues OF the
warning nations to Him Who is their
peace. Meantime, those actual Cal
varies that stand SO grave and still
watching the battlefelds, bring mes
sage OF hope rather than despair.

Catholics and Socialists
CONFLICT between THE TWO
PARTIES IN SPAIN.

The Spanish Catholics and Socialists
ish strike of last summer the Social
list attacks on the Catholic union Of
railway employees have never ceased
In many cases these attacks have
been directed in the most coWardly
manner against the women and chill
dren Of the Catholic railway men.
Unfortunately the authorities show a
painful apathy and Indifference to
these repeated aggressions. Many
Catholic journals, however, in par
ticular Ell Debate, have taken up the
Catholic cause and call upon the men
to uphold firmly the banner of the
Catholic unions. The last named
journal, after opening subscription,
organized a great meeting in Madrid
to present publicly to the Catholic
workmen's representatives the sum
of 1000 pesetas and to condemn the
apathy of the government. The meet
ing was an immense success, for
there gathered on the platform repre-
sentatives of all the Catholic labor
organizations and such notables in the
political world as the Marquis Figu-
ron, late president of the council, and
Viscount Val di Erro, who promised
to bring the cause of the Catholic
workers before the cortes. The true
character and real objects of the So
cialist organizations were exposed,
and though they call themselves the
Socialist railway workers, it was as
serted that there is not one railroad
man among them. Spanish Catholics
are facing a big difficulty neverthe-
less, and the fate of all their own
fine Catholic unions, such as that of
the miners, the agriculturalists, ETC.,
depends upon their firmness at the
present time.

MEXICAN ELECTIONS.

According to schedule an cleo
ton was held i'll Mexico recently
and Carranza by popular vote was
chosen president. Referring to
the manner of this election all
American resident in Mexico
writes to the Mining and Scien-
tific Press" an American trade
journal: "The work Of the Con-
stitution Assembly was completed
at Queretaro on January 81, and
published as the new Federal Con-
stitution on February 4. The As
sembly was made up of two hun
dred and fifty-four deputies. The
deputies were supposed to be
equitably representative of the en-
tire Mexican nation. Many depu-
ties we're not resident nor even
acquainted with the districts from
which they were supposed to hail.
The November election, by which
they were. chosen, was mainly a
farce. Most Mexicans, knowing
that the results were prearranged,
did not bother to so to the polls,
and i'll the few districts where
some popular resident might
chance to receive a large vote, he
was outvoted by the other munich
pal presidentes (mayors) who
made up the returns for the official
candidate to suit themselves. Such
an election is nothing new in Mex

TRAIN TO soBRlETY.

In many places the preventive and
remedy of total abstinence societies
was never tried, or failed through
indifference or opposition. In dis
tricts where now the sentiment for
prohibition is strong, it was some.
times the shameful boast that a total
abstinence society could not exist.
There saloons f1ournished; scores OF
boys and young men, each year,
crossed the threshold of the saloon
to enter on the way of rowdyism,
drunkenness, and crime; Catholics
We're large percentage of Juvenile
delinquents and of adult criminals;
the saloon prOSpered, the temperance
society was banned or barely toler-
ated.
Not the frequent advocacy of total
abstinence in the churches and
schools of these strongholds of alco-
hol, but the failure of churches and
schools to inculcate the discipline of
total abstinence, is one of the chief
influences for the advance of prohibit
ton. Today there are parishioners
who must make pilgrimage to a
neighbOring parish to hear temper
ance sermon or to have their children
pledged against drink. There are
parishes notorious for drunkenness,
where saloons and drinking clubs
flourish, and in some of those places
generations of children grow up with
out being instructed, pledged, or for
tilted i'll any way against the dangers
of drink and drinking places. Had
the total abstinence movement, which
has the approval of Popes and of. the
hierarchy of the United States, been
encouraged and earnestly promoted,
there would be no need to turn to
the State for help to suppress intern
perance among Catholics. Had the
DEGREES of the Councils of Baltimore
been respected and obeyed, the APP
peal to prohibitory legislation to pro-
tect the home would not be SO urgent
as it is. In few parishes where total
abstinence principles and societies
have been ardently propagated has
there been any marked trend towards
prohibitory legislation. When

VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

According to advanced reports
of the School Survey Committee,
imported from New York, st.
Paul is to make Il trial of the most
approved and up-to.datc form OF
educational training. The tax
payers are asked to vote the bill
to cover the changes that will be
made necessary as proposed by
the School Survey Committee. For
this purpose it is expected that
a bond issue of two million dollars
will shortly be placed before the
people. The Committee, according
to advance notice sent out, has
gone through list OF occupations
and has selected certain fields OF
cndeavor as being worthy OF ctll-
tivation i'll the course of vocation
al training which they propose.
If vocational training means III
struction along those lines pursued
by our citizens in gaining their
livelihood, it seems difficult to
draw the line of demarcatiOn.
There is Il great variety and null
tiplicity Of ayocations. Accord
ing to the Survey report certain
branches Of human industry will
be placed upon the preferred list,
whilst others will be completely
ignored. Thus, il you be Il student
of the classics and have been so
deeply impressed by the speeches
of the grave digger in Hamlet that
you aspire to become cemetery
keeper, your lawful aspirations
are doomed to bitter dlsappOint-
ment, for the schools will have
absolutely no course for cemetery
keepers. Again, the goal of your
ambition may be to follow the
itincrant and peripatetic life of
the scissors grinder. Alas, you
will have to climb the ladder Of
fame i'll that noble profession ull-
schoolcd and unframed. Or per-
chance, it may happen that the
proud son Of your bosom yearns
to distinguish himself among his
fellows as a highly trained and eff
ticient bellhop; but the School Sur
vcy closes the door Of opportunity
for instruction to his laudable
ambition. Many other occupa-
tions. that mean the whereWlthal
for life, health and pursuit OF hap
piness to so many of our citizens,
will be completely ignored. Thus,
errand boys, dance hall ushers,
coat checkers, porters, and cham
Der maids will be forced to go
through life unequipped scientif-
ically to follow their chosen career
along the line Of strict scholastic
teaching. Newsboys, bOotblacks,
bath-house keepers and under
takers are placed i'll the class OF
unfortllnates towards whose sue
cess in life and proficiency in their
noble callings not one penny OF
the two million dollar bond issue
will be spent.

stopped. When she had caught the
full drift of Kerr's remarks, which
included an attack on the Catholic
Church for it's opposition to birth
control, she could restrain her in
dignation no longer. She demanded
if there was not a good American
citizen present to stop Kerr. She
was the daughter of a Civil War
veteran, she said, and Kerr ought not
to be allowed to talk like that.
Here is poor deluded woman
shouted Kerr in scornful tones,
pointing a finger of derision at the
woman and the crowd jeered.
The woman, who said she was

street, Brooklyn, promptly called a
policeman and had Kerr arrested.
Kerr, before Magistrate Cobb i'll
Yorkville court, admitted that Miss
kenny's version of what had occur
red was correct. He offered to apollo
gize, but Miss Kenny said he would
have to apologize to the millions Of
Catholic men and women in America
and to the Stars and Stripes, which
he had insulted. A IS fine was i'm
posed, but Kerr said he would go to
Jail rather than pay the fine, which
was Immediately ordered.

there were Catholic men present in
that group but apparently they play
