EDITOR CALLS MEMBERS OF SUCH
ORDERS "PAsTEBoARD PATRI-
OTIS" THEIR VICTIMS THE
REAL PATRIOTS.

An editorial in the Cincinnati En-
quirer recently had this to say of the
loud-mouthed patriots whom the thun.
ders of war have silenced:
How admirable is the process OF
refinement! What pleasure in wit,
Messing the pure gold flowing from
the crncible after the dross has been
SKINNED away. Thus it is in human
affairs. In times like these the souls
of men are sifted out before the judg-
ment seat. Real patriotism takes its
rightful place before base and coun-
terfeit demagogy. For years the cur
rent of affairs in the United States
has been ruffled by a tempest of false
Americanism. 1t has been popular in
the cheaper form of politics to employ
charges of disloyalty against candi-
dates and to form associations and
factions to guard the flag against
purely imaginary dangers. Now that
real perils confront the nation these
pasteboard patriots are disintegrat-
ing.
When the Mayor of Chicago, Viii
liam Hale Thompson, was candidate
for election two years ago it was upon
a platform OF hysterical patriotism

The Historical Society
OF THE UNITED STATES is IN A
FLoURlSHING CONDITION.

The executive board of the United
States Catholic Historical Society,
New York, met last week and directed
its treasurer to subscribe $4,000 of the
society's funds to the second Liberty
Loan. The affairs of the society are
in a very satisfactory condition.
Applications of a large number for
memberships were received The pub
LEGATION committee reported that two
volumes of valuable historical data
would soon be in the hands of the
printer; one, History of the Sisters
of Charity in. New York, 1S17-1317,"
and the other, the regular issue of
the society'5 official book, Records
and Studies.
+ Queries have been received at the
office of the society from ST. Louis
Los Angeles and several other sec
lions asking for information about
the organization and best way OF
keeping up Catholic Historical So
ciety, and giving every evidence that
there is a growing interest in the
movement to preserve records and
establish local centers for collection
and study of documents.
Recently the society offered prize
of 500 for an essay on one of three
Catholics topics, to be competed fol
among the students in our Catholic
colleges.

THE DANCE HALL EVIL

Among tie various cases of
juvenile delinquency that is to1be
met with in our larger cities, none
other, possibly, is more prolific Of
evil than the public dance hall.
1t is an admitted fact that young
people need and seek diversion
and amusement. 1t is also admit
ted that many forms of amuse-
ment may degenerate into proxi-
mate occasions of sin. The dance
hall seems to be an established in
stitution in all our large centers
of population. That it is not al
ways surrounded by proper safe
guards, both as regards manage
ment and patrons, is fully and
sadly attested by the police and
The morals courts everywhere. a

RELIGION IN BUSINESS.

Some time ago DR.. Donaldson,
the Anglican Bishop of Brisbane,
Australia, accused the Catholics
of that city of combining for place
and power. This seems to be a
favorite form of accusation on
the part of all those who envy
Catholics whatever success or
prosperity they may possess. The
Catholic Archbishop of Queens
land, Most Reverend James
Duhig, was quick to challenge
the Bishop to prove his statement.
The Anglican prelate made very
lame reply. This drew from the
Archbishop decided assertion in
regard to the man who tries to
make his religion promote his
business interests. The closing
paragraph Of the Archbishop S
reply seems quite as applicable in
our own country as in the far off
Antipodes.
My honest belief is that the
man who tries to get into Parlia-
ment or to build up his business
on his religion is fraud and the
business man, be he Protestantsor
Catholic, who subjects his en-
ployes or permits them to be sub
jected to petty persecution on ac-
count of their religion is most
undesirable type of citizen. # ]
know of such a man, my shadow
shall never darken the door OF
his office or business place. The
Catholic Church sets a high ex-
ample in these matters. The pro
fessional and business men OF the
Anglican community in Brisbane
know this perfectly well, for they
have received large share of the
money spent in building and
maintaining Catholic institutions
for the last few years, and they
shall continue to give fair value
for it. This is big country, but
heaven help it if it's commercial,
political, or social growth is ever
stunted by narrowmindedness OF
|sectarianism. We want big
hearted men in Church and State
in Queensland, and, above all, we
want the observance of the COM
mandment which says, Thou
shalt not bear false witness

ling young people from unsuspect-
ed sources of danger rests upon
| the parents. In the final analysis,
the influence and the authority OF
good parents can go much further
in preventing the downfall of the
young than can the officers of the
| law.
Parents, too often, are over
confident and too trusting as re-
CARDS their sons and daughters.
They take for granted that the
young people are naturally truth
full, and hence that they would
not take any chances when there
is a question of moral uncertain
lty. The number, of such parents
lis legion; experience shows only
ltoo conclusively that parents and
guardians can not exercise too
much care. over the young, even
lover those who ordinarily are
found to be truthful and docile.
For in many cases the glowing
picture of unrestrained enjoyment
painted by INSCRIPTIONS compani-
ons may tend to weaken the vision
which the young person should
have of duty and obedience. A
first experience frequently acts as
an incentive to further indul-
gence, with the result, very often,
that the police court or the con-
fines of some public institution
witnesses the final chapter in the
domestic tragedy. The Catholic
Register well points out the evil
of the dance hall as follows:
The approach of winter brings
with it problems affecting the
moral condition of large cities
which are difficult of solution.
None is so apparent as the public
dance hall. In it turks gravest
danger. go
Indoor recreations, especially
those which are indiscriminately
public, demand the closest and
most conscientious surveillance.
Objectionable dances, which are
suggestive of indecency, should be
strictly prohibited. Officers of the
law should see to it that HYGIENE
conditions in the assembly halls
utilized as places for public
amusement should be in conform
lily with the law. Close attention
should be paid to the character of
those who are admitted. The
hoodlum and rowdy should be ex-
cluded, and every precaution
taken to prevent lawlessness such
as unfortunately has character
lied these places in the past.
AT best the public dance hall is
a dangerous thing. If it must be
maintained it should be preserved
as clean as is possible.

THE FALSE PATRIOTS

that he stood and appealed for votes.
His opponent, Robert M. Sweitzer,
was assailed because of remote Teu-
tonic descent, and the President was
grossly attacked because of his pacific
ism.
In Georgia Thomas Watson, some
time candidate for Vice President,
carried himself in like fashion, preach
ing false Americanism and advocat-
ing the prescription of numerous
class of citizens whose loyalty he i'm
pugned. Like Thompson, he, too, as
sailed the President because he hest
tated to declare war. Today Thomp-
son is anathema maranatha in the
city that gave him such tremendous
majority, while his opponent is i'm the
forefront of those who are upholding
the honor of the flag. In Georgia
Watson remains in seclusion in his
rural home. The Federal Government
has suppressed his paper as seditious
in its attacks upon the President and
his policies, and prediction is made
that his propaganda against the selec-
tive draft system may lead to further
action. The people, whom he taught
were enemies of this country as a
class, are sending regiments to the
front, and are standing as unit be-
hind the National Administration.
The unfailing process of refinement
has once more demonstrated its in
ability. There is now no mistaking
the dross from the pure gold.

CONVERSION OF CHINA.

His Holiness, Pope Benedict
Nv, has selected for the intention
of the League Of the Sacred Heart
for November, the Conversion OF
China.
The history Of Catholic mission
airy work in the Empire, and later
in the Republic of China, has been
a long record of suffering, sacri-
fee and blood. The list of priests,
brothers, and nuns, who have
given their lives to the further
ance of our holy religion in that
vast country is lengthy one.
The practice among the Chinese
of killing or abandoning helpless
infants has been the occasion for
the salvation Of countless souls
who were baptized before death
by our jealous missionaries, both
priests and Sisters.
At the beginning Of the present
century there were about 100000
Catholics in China. This number
represented the fruitful work of
the missionaries who overcame
and surmounted obstacles Of the
most appalling kind. Handi-
capped not only by the difficulties
of the language but also by the
prevalence Of ancient pagan GUS
toms, these tireless workers thus
succeeded in winning many souls
to Christ In the year 1900 the
Boxer Movement aimed a severe
blow at the Church in China
During that terrible period of per
secution, five bishops, fifty-seven
priests, twenty-one brothers, elev-
en- nuns, and $4,000 native Catho-
lies shed their blood for the faith
AS in the early history of the
Church, however, here also the
blood Of the martyrs proved to be
the seed Of Christianity and OF
further conversions. The Church
today in China numbers ], 100000
souls. Strange to say, in many
centers where formerly ragged the
most ruthless prosecutions, Catho-
lie communities have sprung UP
under the leadership of the per-
secutors themselves or Of thei1
descendants.
Like all the missions through.
out the world, those of China have
suffered from the effects Of the
present terrible war. These re.
Isults have been occasioned by the
forced recall Of many priests be.
longing to the warning nations
and by a great decrease in the
funds formerly sent to the mis-
sionary centers. For these reasons
a great setback has been given to
the work Of the Jealous laborers
in the extensive field that has
been long since "white for the
harvest. Hence, the Holy Fa-
ther sends forth, an urgent appeal
for prayers throughout the whole
world that the work Of the mis-
sions in China may be continued
and brought to successful
termination.

The deposits in the savings banks

clearings have increased 300.
Business men report 300 in

Building operations in Denver have
increased during prohibition more than

a marvellous decrease in divorces and
family troubles.
Warden lyman has closed one wing
Of the state penitentiary.
Crimes of violence have almost
ceased
ALI penal institutions throughout the
state show large decrease in popu-
lation.
There is also a considerable de-
crease in the number of inmates III
the asylums.

public school attendance, $50 of which
is in the high schools.
I There has also been 5000 increase
in Sunday School attendance, and 1919
increase in church attendance.

A Decision Reversed
RULING GIVES $5oo,ooo TO CATH
oLIc INSTITUTIONS.

The supreme court of Illinois has
handed down decision declaring that
the juvenile court has a right to COM
NIT minors to Catholic institutions
and require the county to pay for the
board of children sent to such homes.
The question was raised by W. H..
Dunn in February, 1916. Judge Jesse
A. Baldwin upheld the issue raised in
the bill, which was entitled "W. HI.
Dunn VS.. the Chicago Home for Girls
and the County of Cook" Assistant
States Attorney Hogan appealed the
case. The decision in favor of the
juvenile court means that the 100000
which the county has withheld while
the bill was pending will now be paid
to the Catholic institutions.

CATHOLIC RED CROSS
REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER SHOWS GREAT EN-
THUsIASM AND INCREASED IN
TEREsT IN THE WELFARE
WORK OF THE CATHOLIC
BRANCH.

The report for October of the work
of the Catholic Red Cross of st. Paul
shows total of 1851 finished pieces
in the hospital garment department,
and total of 10,57S surgical dress
ings. This is the largest number Of
hospital garments made by any one
organization here; the Model Red
Cross Shop in the Great Northern
Building alone surpasses these figures
for surgical dressings.
The great need for surgical dress
ings should appeal to the many wom-
en- who have not as yet needed the
Red Cross call. A great many, it is
true, are present in the evening; but
SO far the officers have not been sue
cessful in getting our Catholic women,
young and old, to drop in at any hour
of the day from 10 A. M. to s P. M.
to give as much time as possible to
making these much needed surgical
dressings.
Following is the number of hospital
garments made by each parish unit OF
the Catholic Red Cross of ST. Paul.

CESE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.

The Rt. Rev. Monsignor p A. Phil
lips, administrator of the Denver do
cese, last Saturday became so ill that
it was necessary to remove him from
the Bishops house to st. 'Joseph's
Hospital. The prelate has not been
in good health for some years, but has
been able to look after his arduous
duties, having served as vicar general
and chancellor under Bishop Matz and
as administrator since shortly after
the Bishops death. A short time ago
he became worse, but last week
showed considerable improvement, un-
til the latter part of the week, when
he became seriously i'll again.
