Measure.
BISHOP RHODE WRITES FAVOR
ABLY OF RESOLUTION IN
WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Right Reverend Bishop Rhode of
the Green Bay diocese, in a letter TO
the Fox River Valley Efficiency
league, states his approval of the
Evjue resolution, which was intro
duced in the legislature last Tuesday.
His letter is as follows:
During the years Of my priestly
activity, which has been devoted
largely to the welfare of the laboring
classes, have come to know the part
which the liquor traffic plays in the
life Of our communities, and I am no
stranger to the results achieved by
the various means adopted for its
regulation; in consequence, I hope
that your meeting at Madison will
mark a new advance for clean living
and personal efficiency among our fell
low citizens.
Let the people Of the state make
formal answer whether they will be
willing to pay the bill run up by booze
in our courts Of justice, in our hospi-
tails, asylums and reformatories, often
times as a direct result of liquor, all
just for the sake of a questionable
personal right and a more question
able pleasure; or whether, in the
name of universal moral and material
progress of society they be not willing
to put an end to that which is the
most prolific source Of misery, crime
and corruption. [ am confident that
the people can be trusted to give the
proper answer.
''You have my best wishes for a
successful meeting and for effective
work at the same time.
Sincerely yours,
paul P. RHODE"

the conversion OF the American
Indians. lie was eminently a man
Of prayer and modification. Cast
ing aside the pomp and dignity
of station, lie enlulated st. Paul
who made himself all things to
all men. While still a student,
we are told, he usually slept on
bare straw or on a board. He
would never avoid excessive cold
or great heat, and very often his
breakfast and supper consisted
only Of bread and water. With
such acts Of modification and pen
ance did. he lay the foundation
for his future great career among
the Indians. Modification and
penance were his constant COM
panions as priest and bishop. BY
word and example he preached
temperance. to his people, seldom
ate meat, and in all his meals was
most abstemious. For some years
he boarded with a half-blood In
dian, and his meals consisted
principally Of boiled shelled corn.
On his Journeys through the wilds
of Michigan and Wisconsin, many
were the times he suffered the
pangs of hunger. We are told
that from four to five in the morn
ing, or sometimes, from three to
five, you would find him kneellng,
wrapped in his cloak, in sweet
conversation with his Lord, and
this under any and all circum-
stanoes. He was seen giving the
first hour to God in the dark for
est and on the shores OF lakes,
amidst the roaring streams, as
well as in his private chapel, or
in some hidden corner Of the
crowded stopping places while on
his journeys. Two short entries
in his diary give one an idea OF
his application to prayer:
"March y. Great grace!
Three full hours!" Meaning
three hours Of meditation.
Sunday. Great spiritual mis-
fortune this morning. Instead of
rising at three o'clock, rose at
five-two little hours absolutely
lost. -
Such are the men whose lives
and service remind us Of the la
bors Of the great Apostle Of the
Gentiles.

INTENTION FOR FEBRUARY.

The members OF the kpostleship
of Prayer are asked by the Pope
to pray during the month of Feb
ruary for the triumph of the Cath
Ollie Church in the difficulties with
which she has to cope today.
In all ages, from the very begin
ming, the Catholic Church has
been confronted by difficulties and
problems Of every description.
Her life has ever been one of suf-
fering as was the life Of her Di-
vine Founder. Persecution and
suffering never come as a surprise
to Catholics. The very nature OF
our religion is essentially opposed
to the spirit Of the world. Christ
established His church in order
to conquer that spirit, but the
world is a hard loser, nor will it
ever give up its cherished ideals,
traditions, and procliyities with
out a bitter struggle. The Church
appears before mankind clothed
in a garment Of purity and armed
oily with a burning love for the
salvation Of souls. The world, on
the other hand, brings to bear
upon the Church all the weapons
suggested by malice, cruelty, and
a desperate attachment to the
things that perish. Hence when
the Church bids mankind to sur
render the things Of sense and the
pleasures of sin, the world rebels.
This rebellion is fomented and
carried on BY each age according
to the characteristics Of that ace.

A Spanish Appointment
HONOR FOR CATHOLIC JOURNAL
IST.

A signal honor has been conferred
on one of the leading Catholic jour-
nalists and social workers of Madrid,
in Spain, Senior Don Rufino Blanco.
The Bolivian Government had petit
toned the Spanish Minister of Public
Instruction to send them a Doctor in
Philosophy and Letters who should
organize the whole course of philoso-
phic studies in the National Univer-
sity of La Paz in that Republic. The
choice of the Minister fell on Senior
Blanco, who, in addition to being Pro-
fessor of the Madrid Normal School
and an authority on matters of peda-
gogy, is editor of the official Catholic
organ, "El Universe" This appoint
ment will go long way in cementing
Spanish-American relations. In the
hands of such man the philosophic
and higher studies in the Republic,
which now at last turns for light and
direction to the Mother Country, will
receive a deep Catholic and orthodox
impress, which must strongly tend to
the progress Of religion and order in
Bolivia.

however. to the capital Of Galicia has
been the founding Of the National
UFrainfan Museum and of the Lem
berg Library, to which he presented
100000 crowns.
When the Russian army entered
Galicia in August, 1914, his friends
besought the Archbishop to withdraw,
but he remained with his flock and
preached at his cathedral Arrested
by the Russians, he has ever since
been subjected to harsh treatment.
At the beginning Of last year he was
immured by order Of the Holy Synod
in the monastery Of Spasso-Effimow-
sky at SouZdal which is used as a
penitentiary for criminal Orthodox
priests, and many men who have been
regarded as heretics by the Holy
Synod have ended their days there.
1t IS to be hoped that influences will
be brought to bear on the Russian
authorities strong enough to get them
| to put an end to the scandal of the
Archbishop's imprisonment The Holy
| Father has done all he could do to
| secure his liberation.

teenth century with about fifty
priests, fifty churches, and 4
Catholic white population of not
more than 100000. Today, after
a century Of STRUGGLE, poverty,
and obscurity, churches, schools,
colleges, and universities have
sprung up all over the land; in
situations Of mercy and charity
are there to testify to the love
which Catholics profess for their
felloWmen. These things prove
that the faith and fidelity OF plr
ancestors supported and sanctl-
fed their lives and work. In a
word, our losses cannot be proved,
while our gain through CONVEX
sions have been as great, if not
greater, during the last hundred
years than in any country OF
Europe.

WAR AND WINE.

DR.. G. w. Saleeby, f. r. c. S., F. R.
S., one of the most eminent physi-
clans of Great Britain, has issued
statement declaring that during every
year of peace alcohol takes in lives
three-fourths of the toll exacted by
the first year Of the great war, that
it makes 45,445 widows and orphans
in England and Wales every year, and
that, as q racial poison" an ally to
syphilis, it's trail is over the whole
colossal loss of life before and soon
after birth This, he estimates, is
not less than 100000 annually. He
says:
THE first year the great war cost
us about $4,000 fine lives of our sol
diers and sailors.
but during every year of peace
alcohol takes at least 10000 lives in
this country. On the most moderate
reckoning, it is responsible for one
seventh, or about fourteen per cent
of the whole death rate. This toll
of over a thousand lives a week, year
in and year out, is three-fourths of the
toll exacted by the greatest war in
history.
Estimating from the average size
of family and the known death rate
from alcohol, we find that this de-
stroyer Of the people, by it's destruc-
ton of husbands and fathers, makes
45,445 widows and orphans in England
and Wales every year, or over 124
every day. These figures. are an I'M
reinstatement, for they do not recog-
nize the fact that mortality due to
alcohol is really much higher among
men than women.
I'VE have in this country an infant
mortality of about 100000 per annum,
and mortality of infants before
birth which is at least as high. 1t is
estimated that not less than half of
this ante-natal mortality, namely, 50,-.
600 lives per annum, is due to syphilis.
Over. the whole of this colossal loss
of life, before and soon after birth,
amounting to not less than 100000
lives annually, is the thrall of alcohol,
either doing its deadly work hand in

Ford Builds Orphan Asylum
WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURERS
TO ERECT LARGE CATHOLIC
INSTITUTION.

Henry Ford, the famous automobile
manufactures, is building a Catholic
orphan asylum in Detroit, which will
have q valuation of nearly a million
dollars. The present orphanage, ST.
Francis Home, was built in 1907, as
memorial of the golden sacerdotaI
jubilee Of Right Reverend John
S. Foley. Later on, the Ford Com
pany located on the land near the
home. The extension of business led
to the purchase by Mr.. Ford of the
orphanage property. He offered a
thirty-three acre tract in another part
Of the city, and to erect a building
twice the size Of the present home.
The Very Rev. Father Marion, Chan
cellor Of the Diocese, accepted the
offer. It will accommodate $50 boys
and fifty Sisters. Sister NJ. Gertrude
is Superior.

THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT DE-
NoUNcES RLASPHEMY.

The Italian government has made
an official declaration condemning
the blasphemy printed some weeks
ago against the Person of Our Lord
in the Popolo d'Italia, a Socialist
sheet Of Milan. In a reply to a ques-
ton of the affair presented by Deputy
Longinotti, Sub-Secretary of State
Bonicelli gives the following re-
spouse:
"The government deplores the
publications denounced by the honor
able Deputy, which should have been
interdicted by article 2 of the royal
decree of May %, 1915, as outrageous
to religious beliefs and provocative
Of agitations huFtful to national con-
cord, and it assures him it has, by
opportune directions, provided that
similar publications shall not come
forth again"

With regard to the literacy test
in the immigration bill, Cardinal
Gibbons is quoted: 1t is disap-
pointing to many thoughtful citi-
zens that the immigration bill has
passed both houses of Congress.
BY this measure illiterates will, in
the future, be excluded from en-
trance into this country. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Wilson will
act with the same good Judgment
as he has done ON a former like
occasion and veto the bill. The
normal, sturdy illiterate has a re-
ceptive mind capable of early de-
velopment. The descendants of
such forbears are an honor to
their fathers and a credit and an
asset to our country.
