THE CATHOLIC AMERICAN
DATE.

To preserve the record of Cath
ollie American history movement
has been started. 1t has been in
augurated, by a question sent to
the editor Of Records and Studies,
the official publication of the Unit
ed States Catholic Historical So
ciety: What is the distinctively
Catholic anniversary, date OF the
month and year, in American his
tory? Let me explain: | am
gathering data on American ami
versarieS, to be published shortly.
There should be a Catholic event
having to do with the United
States, or with the colonies, aside
from the discovery, an event about
which there can be no cOntrOver-
sy. and which is accepted by all
citizens, including Protestants and
all non-CathoicS. Can you tell
me this? | would accept your
Judgment, for, of course, these
things often are matters Of midi
vidual taste. The event should be
one that stands out, and from
which great Catholic development
followed. [ have in mind such
events as the conservation of the
first Catholic Bishop in the United
States, or the conservation of the
first Catholic church in the Amer
lean colonies. These dates would
bear more cOncretely upon the
Catholic Church organization than
the early missionary dates which,
perhaps. would be regarded as
fugitive events. The writer of
the question has been furnished
with the following reply: "A sur
vey of the records seems to midi
cate that March %, 1884, is the
date you desire. On that day
Father Andrew White, s. J., cele-
brated the first Mass, on st. Glenn
ent's Island in the Potomac, and
the Maryland colony was found
ed. From this event and this date
follow in unbrOken sequence: pub
lie worship; religious liberation
the first native-born priests and
the first native-born religious, men
and women: the Hierarchy; Cath
Ollie education, the first schools
and first college; the first civic or
ganizatiOn, st. Mary's City. No
other event having to do with the
United States shows such develop
ment, religious, social and pOliti-
cal as this. " 1t is expected that
other interesting answers will soon
appear.

LADY MARY McGILL
PHILANTHROPY WOMAN HON.
ORED BY POPE, PASSES
AWAY.

Solemn services marked the burial
of Lady Mary A. McGill last week at
the Cathedral of the Immaculate Con-
ception, in Mobile, Ala. She died Sat-
urday, at the Providence Infrmary,
after an illness of three weeks.
Lady McGill was the last of the
family of McGills, prominent in Mo-
bile since the Civil War. Her two
brothers died number of years ago
and her sister, Lady Sarah McGill,
died in 1916. These two ladies were
given their title by the Holy Father
and the honor was formally conferred
on them by Bishop Allen, who also
officiated at her funeral Mass.
Lady Mary was known for her wide
charity and kindness to the poor and
afflicted. Her family founded the Nc
Gill Institute, and were the principal
donors to the Home for the Aged, the
street on which this home is located
being named after them. Previous
to her illness, Lady Mary McGill had
made her home at the Academy of
Visitation.

Commodore John Barry
THE REAL FATHER OF THE AMER.
ICAN NAVY.

When the alleged body of John Paul
Jones was discovered in Paris in 1905,
it was reached through excavations
made in the cellars of Madame Orig
nier's three houses in the Rue Grange
auX-Belles. 1t was found in the old
st. Louis cemetery for foreign Prot
estants, which was closed by law in
1898.
General Horace Porter, then United
States ambassador, paid her $4,000
francs indemnity out of his own peck
et A bill to pay her $13,511.13 more,
because of damage to the houses, is
now before Congress.
Jones is not worth it, says the Pitts
burgh Observer He was only an adj
venturer. He was distrusted by the
patriots of the Continental Congress;
he said himself, substantially, that he
had no heart in the American cause;
and when he left this country he sold
his services to the despotism of Rus
STA.
To deprive Commodore John Barry
of his right to the distinction of being
Father of the American Navy, Jones
has been exploited. To bolster up his
cause history" supported with for
geries has been written. But truth
will finally prevail. - --.

A GREAT MISFORTUNE
CITY OF RHEIMS is TO.
tai RUIN.

The Paris Univers says Rheims ex-
lists no longer; it is heap of ruins.
This is, indeed, a misfortune, one of
the greatest amongst all the misfor-
tunes which the war has brought to
France. The destruction of RHEIMS
tears away from France part of her
self, something very dear to her heart
Rheims was the town dearest to the
French nation; history tells the fact
to us. A Gallo city which eagerly
accepted Roman civilization, Rheims
had at an early stage faith in Christ.
God destined an important role for
this town in the religious and politi-
cal formation OF France. 1t was there
St. Remi baptised Clovis and his COM
panion soldiers. 1t was in the Ca
thedral that so many of the kings of
France were crowned. During the
present tragic war Rheims has been
the scene of terrible fighting.

LIBERTY OF TEACHING.

For the past thirty years or
more there is apparent the grow
ing influence Of what has been
termed academic freedom. This
means, in other words. that a pro-
lessor should be free to teach any
theories on any subject. The fact
seems to have been lost sight of
that, while theories if we'll found
ed may be proposed, it is an af-
front to real intelligence to de-
mand the acceptance of such the
cries as truth.
Men and women devoid Of all
belief in God or religion present
their views in the most positive
and dogmatic manner possible.
These views, as a rule, are based
upon their own ideas, or upon the
conclusions reached by few seat
tered writer's. They draw the
waters Of science from a muddy
brook, and utterly ignore the vast
ocean Of truth that rolls before
them. Flippantly do they toss off
such assertions as, There is no
God, There is no hereafter, Mat
ter is eternal, The soul is myth,
and such like absurdities. The
exasperating part Of such upstart
impertinence is that these self
appointed leaders scott at the
great truths implanted in the
heart of man and approved by the
greatest intellects Of the race. A
Christian who accepts the tenets
of his belief is termed a mental
slave: the man who, claiming free
dom for himself, rejects the vision
al theories of these so-called teach
erS is looked upon as just impos-
sible.
With a single twist Of the pro-
feSsOrial hand this academic free
dom is applied to moral conduct.
Let Catholic 90 wrong, and it is
urged that his Church is to blame,
it's teachings are false; let a
Protestant overstep the moral
bounds, and he is said to act
against the principles of his
Church. Thus, a Catholic is al
ways wrong: if he commits a
breach of the moral code he does
wrong, and if he adheres to his
Church he is following a false
leader: always wrong With such
illogical logic and such unreason-
able reason there is no arguing,
for some men are so blinded that
they revel in darkness and look
foolish in the light.

at, there has man tried to tear
asunder what God has declared
to be inviolable.
Human happiness in the conju-
gal state is independent Of pow
erty or riches. True it is, the one
or the other may have a secondary
effect upon human contentment;
but the love which unites husband
and wife is of so spiritual ma
tnre that it easily survives the
shipwreck Of fortune or the pinch
of Strengthened circumstances.
When the heart is rotten it is idle
to expect anything but filth. To
ascribe the prevalence of divorce
to poverty is about as logical as
to attribute the recent election re-
suits in Minnesota to the influence
Of the late eclipse.

OLD-FAsHIONED FATHERS.

There is a type of Catholic lay
man that is all too quickly pass
ing from our midst, deplores the
Sacred Heart Review. 1t is the
staunch, virile, humble Catholic,
whose characteristics, as outlined
by our contemporary, were to be
found in many Of the fine old
stock that has done so. much to
make the Church in this country
what it is today. None of the
signs by which this admirable type
were to be recognized was. more
striking than that evidenced in
the care of his own household. He
was the head Of his house from
the day he was married till the
hour death laid its hand on him.
His son might have B. A. or an
Ill. D., but while he was under his
fathers roof he was subject to
the father. His daughter might be
proficient in many branches, but
she knew no more than her mother
about late hours, theater parties
and Saturday night social func-
tions that make pleasure seekers
too tired to go to Mass.
The passing of such men is in
deed to be depIored! Whatever
other may have been their short
comings, they made their dwelling
home not what it is, in so
many cases today-a sort Of lodg-
ing house, where the customary
meals and a few hours Of rest are
begrudgingly snatched. 1t is a
pity that more among us cannot
get back to the old ways! They
were. assuredly ideal.

INSULTING THE POOR.

The modern science of sociology
frequently goes far afeld in the
search for causes that underlie
present-day moral and economic
conditions. The true sOciOlogist
delves deep into the evils that af
flict us, and discovers therein the
genuine mainsprings of human ills.
The sciolist, on the contrary,
the superficial investigator, fire.
quently finds himself baffled, for
deep causes seldom appear on the
surface. Hence, when his search
proves fruitless, such an one at
tributes our moral evils to pow
erty. In this way many writers
ascribe the prevalence of divorce
to poverty.
Such an imputation is a direct
insult to the poor, for divorce is
a human luxury usually denied
them. The true cause Of this
great menace to society is to be
found in the lack of genuine re-
ligious discipline. Even pagan
Rome, in the brave days Of old, .
knew not the menace of divorce.
It was only in the latter days of
affluence and corruption, conse-
quent upon world dominion, that
this fiendish specter stalked broad
cast throughout the Roman en-
pire. st. Jerome, writing on these
conditions in the fourth century,
gives us a typical case. He says
that a certain society woman kept
count of the number of her hus-
bands by the years Of her married
life: and she was married twenty
two years.
Christianity reafirmed and in
sisted upon the divine law let
down from heaven into the gar
den of Eden: Let no man put
asunder. = The most alluring
promises, the direst threats and
every powerful inducement have
been dangled before the Catholic
Church if she would let down the
bars of indiSsolubility in a given
case. With steadfast fidelity to
principle, the Church held the law
before the eyes of Henry VIII,
and saw England swept away from
her Catholic moorings. In every
land the Church has sacrificed in
dividuals and societies on the al
tar Of divine law.
The annals of the poor often
contain a list Of tragic evils; but
the man-made sin of divorce is
not found attached to the poor as
a class. Wherever conscience has
been dwarfed, or religion ignor,
| ed, or the honor of society Sneered

The funny things that have happened
Throughout my homely day.
Then I go and sit by window,
And look to the rising sun,
Where overseas the trenches
He will fight till the yictory's won!

Who is glad her boys in line!

WORKERS ARE DISCHARGED FOR
INEFFICIENCY.

Indulgence in intoxicating drinks
is regarded with such disfavor in the
great munitions plants at EddystOne,
in the Philadelphia industrial district,
that despite daily increasing short
age of workers, two thousand men
have been laid off by the Remington
Arms Company for "inefficiency." A
year of costly experiment has taught
the company the lesson that the
worker who carouses is more expen-
sive to his employer than an idle ma
chine.
Men who go to the other extreme
and attempt to hoard their earnings
by the short-sightad method of living
in the cheapest quarters and eating
the poorest food 6btainable are being
eliminated from the pay roll with the
boozers. The new program of effici-
ency hits both higfI and low.

INSIGNIA FOR CHAPLAINS
1T WILL BE A SILVER ROMAN
CROSS AND THE LET
TIERS u. S.

Army chaplains have raised an en-
phatic protest against recent de-
cision of the war department to make
certain changes i'm the uniform pre-
scribed for them. The order objection
able does away with all insignia of
rank on the chaplain's uniform. AL
though it has been for some time I'M
der discussion by the general staff, it
was not brought to crisis until recent
ly, when a message from General
Pershing came recommending that the
insignia be removed altogether, as, in
his opinion, they did not add to the
usefulness of chaplains, and at times
actually interfered with their infiu-
ence over the enlisted men of the
army.
The new regulations which are OBJ
jected to eliminate all insignia of
rank and permit only silver Roman
cross and the letters ~. S." Some
one raised the point that chaplains of
the Jewish faith might object to wear
ing cross of any type, and the de-
partment has amended the order to
permit chaplains of that faith to dis
card the cross. 1t is pointed out that
there is a strong opinion in the. army
that the character of the chaplain will
secure more regard from the men Of
the United States army than the pos
session of insignia of rank can exact.

"THE APoSTOLATE OF TEN.
PERANCE."

A most suitable monument to the
memory of the Jealous priest, once
pastor of the Immaculate Conception
Church, Kenton, Ohio, is the associa-
ton organized in some of our seminar
les and called by it's founder, the
venerable Father Siebenfoercher,
'The Apostolate of Temperance"
Be it ever remembered, that the
founder of our apostolate, born and
educated in Swiss canton, where
wine was regarded almost a necessity,
is said to have experienced a positive
shock when, on reaching our shores,
he first learned that not a few sensi.
BILE persons strongly advocated the
need of total abstinence.
Years came and passed; and time,
with it's ripening experience, at first
lessened, and then removed, Father
Siebenfoercher's shock of surprise,
and finally made him all eager to find
an efficient means of deadening the
power and checking the spread of al
coholic drink, now viewed as an in
sidious, corroding evil.

CATHOLIC LEADERS CONDEMN
LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Third Council of Baltimore: We
call upon all pastors to induce those
of their f1ocks that may be engaged
in the sale of liquors to quit the dan
gerous traffic as soon as possible, and
to make their living in some more
honorable way.
Cardinal Manning: The drink trade
is our shame, scandal, and sin, and
unless brought under by the will of
the people, it will be our downfall.
Do you know how you will
help to break up the unholy alliance
between Government and the greatest
fraud of the age? Vote against it.
Archbishop Ireland: Education,
the elevation of the masses, liberty,
all that the age admires-is set at
naught by the dreadful evil. The in
dividual conscience is the first arm
in opposing it, but the individual con-
Science has to be strengthened and
supplemented by law. The claim of
saloon keepers to freedom In their
traffic is the claim to spread disease,
sin and pauperism. Would God place
in my hand wand with which to dis
pei the evil of intemperance, I would
strike the door of every saloon, every
distillery, of every brewery, until the
accursed traffic should be wiped from
the face of the earth.
Father Mathew: The principle of
prohibition seems to me the only
safe and certain remedy for the evils
of intemperance. This opinion has
been strengthened by the hard labor
of more than twenty years in the tenn
perance cause.
Archbishop John J. Keane: If L
could cause the earth to open and
swallow up every saloon in the world,
| would feel that was doing human
ity blessing. The saloon is bad for
the home, the church and the coun-
try. 1t has no redeeming feature.
Archbishop Spaulding: Whatever
restrictions may be thrown around it's
management, the American saloon is,
and must continue to be so long as it
shall be tolerated, a nuisance. To

wise and good man cannot approve

Who can deny that the liquor traffic
is driving men and women to work
in factories, workshops and washtubs
who ought not to be there, and boys
and girls into industrial life who
should be in the school or on the play
ground? The liquor traffic tends to
decrease wages, never to increase
them. The use. of alcohol makes men
less skilful and drives men to lower
scales of employment and reward. Ev-
cry cent spent in the liquor business is
wasted. There is no redeeming fea-

author and historian, great-nephew of
Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot, and
himself one of the worlds best known
physicians, received the congratula-

occasion of his ninetieth birthday.
DIR. Emmett, who has been COMPEL

chair, but whose mind is as clear as it
was three-quarters of a century ago,
spent the greater part of the morning
in his study at IS Madison Avenue,
New York, working on his latest book,
THE Lives of Robert Emmett and
Thomas Adds Emmett" The work is
a revision of former biography of
the great Irish patriot and his brother.
