Lefty is likely to be what the taste
of blood, is to a tiger or lion; it
whets the desire for more of the
same thing. There are some who
rarely do a good deed without
rushing to neighbor or newspaper
to let it be known. To others the
{ free advertising" is abhorrent.
They are made happy by a glow
ing consciousness that the right
thing was done, and that auto
satisfaction of virtue is their re-
ward. But most of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle where
on we can abide serenely indie
pendent of what others think OF

and then to keep us going. We
hunger for appreciation, even
when we tell ourselves we are not
worth it. Who has not known the

sentence Of commentator, has

it, and we feel refreshed, renewed.
Blessed are they who speak in
time the heartening, quickening

In the Catholic Church there is
a certain thing what | call a
quality that arrests every open

John Ayscough. 1t is that quality
that breaches louder than any
preacher in any pulpit. "
Polemics, controversy, special
pleading would simply bore you
and set all your opposition alert
OH guard. But that would be far
more to the point, for quality ar
rests you; and because it is a
fact, patent in itself, it impresses
you more than any assertion of it
could.

RECoNsTRUCTING SOCIETY.

Cardinal Bourne, of London,
has just issued a most timely pas
toral letter. 1t is a review of the
times through which we are pass
ing, and a forecast of the state Of
society after the present war.
The Cardinal points out many of
the defects of society in general
as it existed i'll the period i'm
mediately preceding the present
great struggle. He. also sounds a
solemn warning that i'll the re-
forming Of social and economic
lines after the war Christian prin-
ciples must necessarily prevail if
the world is to avoid a complete
relapse into paganism.
The history of all great wars
shows a decided change i'll the So
cial and economic life Of each ma
ton engaged therein. In times
OF peace economists and political
writer's build up theories which
are suited to actual conditions.
War, however, especially war on
d broad scale, has a tendency to
shattcr many ideals previously
professed. War is great leveler.
It seizes the idols erected in for
mer times, hurls them to the
ground, and places new gods upon
the denuded pedestals.
War opens up new vistas, and
calls into being often strange
combinations of ideas. The period
Of reconstruction, following our
own Civil War, is a good illustra-
ton OF how nation soon adjusts
itself to conditions that have en-
tirely changed, either for better
or for worse.
Besides this, war frequently
acts as an intermediary between
the soul and God on the one hand,
and the soul and Satan on the
other. A nation struggling in the
throes Of frantic destructiveness
is apt to turn appealingly to God.
/ On the other hand, the aftermath
OF a great war frequently beholds
new alignment Of the industrial
and religious forces of a nation in
such way that God is neglected
by the individual.
Before the fatal year 1914, a
state Of tremendous unrest was
noticeable throughout the civil
lied world. Capital and Labor
were striving for the mastery.
While in many cases Capital en-
deavored to right the wrongs, real
or imaginary, Of the working
classes, Labor still clamored for
an ever-increasing share in the
governments of the world. The
war has acted as a huge cauldron
in which all the conflicting ele-
ments are allowed to seethe to-
gether for the time being.
There is not the slightest shad-
ow of a doubt that the coming
era of peace will behold entirely
changed conditions in the econ
omic and industrial world. Then,
if eyer, will be the time for all
leaders Of Christian thought to
emphasize the principles of Chris
tianity. A state built upon in
justice inevitably will crumble.
A nation that persists in ignoring
the elemental tenets Of Christian
| ity is doomed to revert to pagan
ism. Now is the time when our
Catholic people should read and
study and inform themselves on
the attitude Of their Church to-
wards the great problems that soon
will confront us. The reconstruc-
ton of society may be carried on
along various lines; if, however
the principles of justice, of equity
and of Christianity are cast aside
or smothered, the world may look
to a far greater upheaval. than
even the present age has shown
us.

G1oRDANo BRUNO.

From time to time we are sum-
moned by public speakers to con-
slider this or that great name in
history i'll order to evoke our adj
miration or imitation. Very fire.
quently orators in a burst Of I'M
restrained, and sometimes injudi-
cious, eloquence, call upon us to
pattern our conduct after some
scoundrel or renegade. Not that
they would have us initiate the
evil that these men have done,
but rather follow such characters
In some apparent good.
A reverend speaker Of this city
is quoted in the Monday morning
papers as advocating the spirit
of loyalty to ideals which he said
characterized Giordano Bruno.
We take this case simply as typi-
cal of many examples that we so
often see. The speaker is quoted :
Gin the long struggle for free
dom of thought Giordano Bruno
holds an honored place. He was
burned to death in Rome in the
year 1000, because he refused to
deny the truth which his own
active mind had discovered. In
his opinion, the philosopher had
a right to follow the guidance of
his thought, no matter where it
| lead him. -
The truth about Giordano Bru-
no is this. He was born in Naples
i'll 1913, and when fifteen years
Of age entered the Dominican
Order. In 1876 he was accused
of hercsy, and finally left the
Church, wandering from one
country to another. He stead
lastly refused to be rcconciled to
the Catholic Church. 1t seems
that he professed different relig-
ious beliefs, for we find that he
was communicated by the Cal
vinists and later on by the Lu-
therans. He was priest who
tproved dislOyal to his profession
and his faith. He was condemn
ed by the Roman Inquisition for
his religious errors, and he was
| burned at the stake by orders of
the secular power. 1t is. absurd
to say that Bruno was put to
death for truths which he had
discovered. Some Of these So
called truths were the following
THAT Christ was not God but
merely an unusually skilled ma
gician, that The Holy Ghost is the
soul of the world, that the Devil
will be saved" etc.
The reverend speaker, whom
we have mentioned, is then quot
ed as saying: Every church that
places truth above tradition owes
a debt to the men like Giordano
Bruno. 1t is typical Of the sects
that. the Authorizations and ram
blings, the vagaries and the en-
rors of loosely balanced writers
SO frequently appeal to them. 1t
is also noteworthy that the vari-
Gus characters in history who
struck at authority, especially re-
ligious authority, make a strong
appeal to certain denominations.
Since lack of authority is one of
the chief features OF Protestant
ism, it is perhaps not at all
strange that religious rebels and
renegades should be looked upon
as heroes and as champions OF
free thought. Every serious stu
dent OF history, whatever faith he
may profess, knows that Giorda-
no Bruno was materialist and
a pantheist of the deepest dye. He
was a renegade from his Church,
a challenger of lawful authority
and rebel Of the worst type.

PARIS. April s.-What might be
proaf OF Qermany's failure to break
through the allied lines IL seen in re-
ported changes to be made in the Ger
man high command on the western
front. All the enemy armies have been
regrouped and divided into two main
armies.
One army, under Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, who has Just arrived on
the western front, is to face the attack
Of the British, while the other. under
Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who also
has just arrived at German headquar-
ters. will face the French further
south.
These armies, of course. will still be
under Won Hindenburg and Won Luden-
dorff, directly under the kaiser's orders,
Generals who commanded individual
Armies will now play only minor roles
in the big battle.
Up to the present no German army
has been formed to meet the Americans,
who are now in the Somme region.
This, no doubt, Is due to the amalga-
nation of the American troops with the
British and French. News from the
front is that in the Somme district great
|comFadeship has sprung up between the
American troops and their British and
French allies.

Compulsory Arbitration.

English labor now frankly indorses
compulsory arbitration as the proper
safeguard against industrial strife dur
ing the war and declares the plan has
worked successfully for two years.
The Bee has insisted that compul-
sorry arbitration is the logical, the fair
est and the most effective solution of
Americas labor problem. 1t has Fec
commended as an alternative measure
on the assumption that prejudice
against compulsory arbitration would
prevent immediate adoption thereof
the Inauguration of Industrial adjust
ment, which Is practically voluntary
arbitration administered by a joint
board Of labor and capital with neces-
sary power.
But certainly the national administra-
tton should take up some plan which
promises effective results and insist
upon its immediate adoption and opera
tien. With national efficiency neces-
sary for success in the war and that
efficiency dependent on industrial peace
any failure to insist upon such policy
as will insure that industrial peace
without injustice to any one, must
place upon the administration the very
grave responsibility for unnecessary
prolongation Of the war with attendant
sacrtfce of American lives. And that
is the least of the possible evils which
may result.
Those who have sons and brothers at
the front, every loyal American who
gives all that is asked of him that we
may be saved from German dominati tion
or German peace, perform duty in de-
manding respectfully of President Will
son and his cabinet that they give care
full consideration to the facts as out
lined, and act accordingly.
