ASLEEP AT THEIR POST.

According to a decision said to
have been reached by the Attor-
|ney-General of Oklahoma, both the
constitutional prohibition provi-
sion and the prohibition law of
that State make it unlawful to i'm
port wine for sacramento pur-
poses. The Catholic papers
throughout the country have
taken up the cry that discrimina-
ton has been shown. against the
Church in this action. 1t has been
said by some that prohibition al
ways aims directly at religion, and
especially at the Catholic Church
which makes use of wine in the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The
opinion Of the Attorney-G General
in the above case States that ii
may not have been the intention
of the trainers of the constitution
or the legislature to prohibit the
manufacture Of wine for. sacra-
mental purposes. In any case, ii
shows that the Catholics Of Okla
homa have most probably been
asleep at their post, and have now
suffered a rude awakening.
Time was in this country when
Catholics were SO timid that they
feared to raise even the feeblest
voice in protest when their re-
ligion was attacked. They feared
even openly to defend their relig-
ious rights which were accorded
them by the Federal Constitution
Happily, thanks to many stalwart
prelates who have championed the
cause of religion in the past fifty
years, that time has almost
passed There are still, however
localities where bigotry frequently
rears its head with little or no op.
position or protest from local
Catholics. Sometimes the State
legislature in all innocence may
pass a law which upon applica.
ton affects Catholics. lie the
Catholics of the State were wide
awake. to their own interests; il
they were on the alert with regard
to all legislation proposed; if they
were frequently not so anxious to
vote for a political candidate who
stands upon an avowedly anti
Catholic platform, they might
have less cause for legitimate com
plant. There are, cases on record
today where men in public office

extent by the votes Of Catholics

LIQUOR is ENEMY OF WORKERS

B. G. Royal, General Superintend-
ent of the Victor Talking Machine
Company, concern which employs
ten thousand men at Camden, n. j.,
gives this testimony:
'The company is firmly of the con-
viction that liquor and efficiency in
business will not mix any more than
will oil and water Intoxicating liq-
uor is the workingman's worst enemy;
it robs him of his physical equipment,
which is his most vital asset. 1t is
often directly responsible for acct
dents that otherwise would be avoid
ed. Non-indulgence in intoxicants
means safety to the workmen; indul
gence, jeopardy of ones safety. Even
liquor in small quantities destroys the
efficiency of the employees because it
brings on a feeling of drowsiness and
there is. again the possibility of acct
dent.
'.The day has come when conserva-
ton of human energy must be serious
ly considered by large employers of
labor, and by employees themselves.
The European war has cost millions
of human lives, and no one knows
how many more millions will be sac
rificed. Men are at a premium, and
they will be in greater demand before
this war ends. Hence it behooves us
to give grave attention to this eco
nomic problem, so that industrial
America shall continue to be able sue
cessfully to compete with all the
world in all lines of industry"

MINISTERS FALL OUT.


A serious conflict was launched
recently in Methodist circles in
st. Louis. AS usual, it all start
ed about the Bible 1t seems that
several evangelists intended to
hold series. of meetings and re-
yival services. These evangelists
stated that they would assert that
the end Of the world is near, and
would quote scripture to prove it.
For this reason some ministers
opposed the meetings, whilst
Others approved them.
Such mockery and mlllpfnery
among the denominations is grad
nally becoming a part Of the
national performance for the

Declaring that he was not OPP

Billy Sunday recently said: Il
am not here to try to make poor

long to the Catholic Church and
have not been living up to your
vows, go to the priest, go to Mass,

THE APOSTL HIP OF
PRAYER AND THE
YOUNG.

L
tory of the Church or, for that mat
ter, Of the civilized world, has the
welfare Of the child played so
prominent a role in progress and
development. The last three
Popes, together with the present
Hol Y Father, have shown in many
ways the solicitude which they
cherish for the spiritual well-beine

Pope Benedict, in assigning-the in
tention for October to the League
Of the Sacred Heart, asks that the
members pray during this month
that the Apostleship of Prayer
may be spread among the young
The Holy Fathers appeal has a
peculiar force at this time for
many reasons.
In the first place, the children
of Europe for the past three years
have. been going through expert
|ences and sufferings that have

been the unfortunate lot of the
children Of any other generation
Sufferings of body, anguish OF
soul, Affections Of mind have been
the portion, the daily portion, of
the little ones Of Europe. The
piety of good parents and Of zeal
Gus teachers in Catholic countries
has been instilled from infancy
into their souls. But the times
which stir mems souls must GER
tainly leave deep impress upon
the tender minds of the little ones
Prayer has surrounded them from
infancy: prayer must continue to
be not only their weapon against
a world %of troubles, but also the
guiding wand of those who would
protect them.
Experience teaches us that the
prayers of little children are most
efficacious in moving the heart OF
the infinite God to. exercise com
passion and mercy. Christ in his
mortal life made the child the
model Of the future inhabitants
of heaven, for theirs is the king.

Again, the dangers which

ances, irreligion and atheism
abroad, indifference and neglect

the child's moral and spiritual
being. Faithful attention te
prayer, which usually promotes
fidelity to the sacraments, is alb.
solutely needed if the child is to

It is the sacred duty as well as
the privilege of Catholic parents
to promote in their children a love
and a practice of prayer. Strict
adherence to the daily practice Of
morning and evening prayer, seri

gayety of the nations. In the six
teenth century some OF the peo-
lples OF Europe became tired Of
listening to the voice of Peter as
represented by the Supreme Pom
tiff. Acting in the same spirit
LOT supreme wisdom and imperish-
able logic as that exhibited by
many of their present-day descend
ants, they decided, pirate-like,
to toss the pilot overheard and to
allow each man on board to say
in what direction the ship should
head. The result has been that
each little pirate craft has ever
headed in circle or an ellipse.
From time to time the ship has
been overhauled, re-painted, few
barnacles removed, and it has
then proceeded to head around
in the inevitable circle. Now and
then few reasonable souls lower
a boat, hail the passing bark of
Peter, and are taken abroad and
brought to the haven Of security.
ISince the tenetS Of reformation
doctrine allow each man the right
OF private Interpretation of the
scriptures, the average Catholic,
with nearly nineteen hundred
years OF experience behind him,
has never been able to fathom the
logic which will permit some
members Of the UNCONVENTIONAL
families to so violently and bitter
ly oppose other members of the
same family who are exercising
the same right. In every large
city there is usually one ward
known for the rough tactics exer-
cised at the polls. When a citizen
endeavors to exercise his right Of
suffrage he is not only challenged
but frequently assaulted and beat
en-, for the simple reason that he
intends to use this right contrary
to the choice of certain elements.
This is the picture presented to
one S mind on viewing the sec
tartan quarreling and pickering
that is constantly making religion
an object Of ridicule to the atheist
and Of scorn to the pagan.
1t was not without reason that
Christ, Whom nearly all the de-
nominations recognize as their
leader, established Peter as the
imperishable rock upon which was
to be placed the light that would
guide the world. They who saw
this light and guided themselves
by the rays of it's calm beaming,
would come safely into port: they
who, needless of the light, dash
forward blindly, would add but
another to the many wrecks that
lie about the base of the impreg-
nable rock.
A game cannot be played with
out an umpire; legal case re-
quires judge to interpret the
law; and the scripture, which
many wrestle unto their own per-
dltlon, demands. an exponent who
can speak with recognized power
and authority. Such an exponent
is the Holy Father, the successor
OF st. Peter who, in authority, was
the successor of Christ.

Several Catholic exchanges have
raised the voice Of opposition
against the mode Of obtaining
gifts that prevails in "showers, y

that they impose a real burden on

1t is estimated that about one
priest in the United States dies
every twenty-four hours. Since
the number ordained each year
scarcely exceeds this ratio, it is
easy to understand the great need
which the Church experiences in
this country for more priests.
New parishes are being continu-
ally formed, new colleges founded,
and new sections Of the country
opened up.

Strange tricks-some weird, some ar
tistic-are done in motion picture pro
duction with the aid of black velvet.
The above photograph, secured by
courtesy of a Vitagraph company
shows an animated skeleton which can
perform all the movements of real
man. That is due to the excellent rea-
son that it is real man performing
the movements. The explanation is
simple. The frame of the skeleton is
painted upon form fitting suit of
dead black cloth worn by the man,
and the face and hands are whitened
Then against a background of black
velvet curtain the man can go through
all sorts of gyrations, only the white
portions of his costume being apparent
to the eye. And you have skeleton
of most convincing appearance.

while waiting for the set to be finished,

up so she would not catch cold. In
