MAKING FRIENDS.

He who runs may read these
days the awful tragedies that so
frequently result from hasty
friendships, notes an exchange.
Time and again one has to ask
the question, when a particularly
notorious case is brought before
the public, why will a young wo-
man marry a man about whom
she knows practically nothing
For all she knows he may have
deceived other women, may have
left wife and family in some
other part Of the country, may be
the meanest kind of criminal, yet
she puts aside all such possibili-
ties, marries him and the result is
often unhappiness. In turn he
deserts her; and the whole miser-
able romance ends in sorrow and
distress.
A prudent girl will beware of
strange men. The fact that a
mans manners are very nice, that
he is well dressed, that he is gal
liant, that he has all the qualities
Of the hero Of romance, will not
lead a sensible girl to put her
trust in him. She knows enough
Of the world, her innate modesty
is warning enough, to be suspi-
cious Of the stranger.
A girl at home is very careful
Of her associates. If she values
her good name, she is not seen in
the company of men that are sus-
pected. She would be insulted if
she were approached on the
street going to her work. She
surrounds herself with every pro-
lection. She would not trust her
self to the company of a chance
stranger.
There is but one course for a
girl to pursue; that is to be al
ways careful in making friends.

diately broke into a loud and
long cheer. The candles
were extinguished, the draperies
were drawn back into place, and
the vaudeville was continued. 5"
A performance of this kind on
the part of a Catholic chaplain is
most deplorable. While circum-
stances, especially in war time,
may excuse many things, there
seems scarcely any reason why the
holy sacrament of matrimony
should be sandwiched in as an
olio of a vaudeville show. The
publicity given to this event
throughout the country calls for
bitter denunciation of the levity
which characterizes such ludicrous
handling Of a sacrament. We
trust that effective measures will
be taken to eliminate the posi-
bility OF a repetition of such a
burlesque on sacred things. 1t is
a shame and scandal to every
right-thinking Catholic.

Archbishop Is Expelled
MEXICAN PRELATE is AT PRES
EMIT THE GUEST OF CAPUcHIN
FATHERS IN NEW YORK.

There has arrived in New York the
Most Rev. Martin T. Cordova, Arch
bishop of Yucatan, Mexico, who is
stopping at the Capuchin Monastery.
The youngest and the most prominent
Archbishop of Mexico was formed to
abandon has diocese and flee to
Havana, Cuba, where he has been
exiled for the past four years, max
ing his abode with the Vincentian
Fathers of that city.
He was born in 1868 in the little
town of San Adres, State of Puebla,
Mexico. Having completed his stud
les in Rome, he was ordained to the
priesthood in 1891 in that city. One
year later he returned to his native
country, where he received an ap-
pointment as professor of philosopy
and Canon Law at the Seminary of
Puebla. In 1899 the Bishop of Pue-
bla made him his private secretary
and Vice Chancellor of the diocese.
The following year Leo XIII made
him Bishop of Yucatan, and in 1906
PiuX x raised the diocese to an arch
diocese, making him the first Arch
bishop of the oldest diocese in Mex
leo. In 1911 the Archbishop paid an
other visit to the Eternal City. He
embarked on the steamer Merida of
the Ward Line. In the stiffness of
the midnight hour, approaching Nor
folk, when all the passengers were
sound asleep in their beds, the
Merida collided with the steamer
Admiral Farragut, cutting the for
mer ship in two. The Archbishop
lost all his belongings and barely es-
capped with his life. He arrived in
Norfolk wearing a cassock. When he
reached New York Cardinal Farley
supplied him with everything.
In 1914 Archbishop Cordova suf-
fered the bitter experience of exile
with all the priests of his diocese.

AMERICAS INDEX OF FORBIDDEN BOOKS

Let it be stated here with great
force that there is no possible objec
| ton to the course which has been
adopted. There is great relief that
| the government had courage enough
to act upon it; great regret that long
ago some similar authority was not
exercised. Free speech is attacked;
free press is attacked. Yes, indeed
that is the very purpose of the order
These freedoms have too long been
abused. The nation left herself wholly
unprotected from the attacks of mad
men. For our neglect we paid heavily
ever so often in outrages like that
perpetrated by the bomber of the Fed
eral Building of Chicago.
But to have the government exer-
else this authority! How it will make
some people froth at the mouth, peo-
pie whose tongues never wagged
more quickly, more ignorantly, or
more venomously than when the topic
was the Index of the Catholic Church.
For the American government to stoop
to the detested methods of the
Church! The very thought! For the
American government to say to it's
enlisted men, This you shall not
read!" Even as the Church authori-
ties of Rome have said, time and time
again, ''This you shall not read"
But the government is only protect
ing itself against political heresy. It
would guard against the sowing in SOL
der minds of the seeds of rank weeds.
The government may be thinking of
the soldiers; possibly it would save
them from shame, from delusions that
might lead them to deeds that must
ultimately put them face to face with
the firing squad. But beyond that the
government is thinking of itself. This
faction is one with the guards it has
thrown out to protect the health of it's
enlisted force. For an army shattered
in health would be poor protection
against the menacing Prussian. Still
more is the governments thought cen
tered in itself. For instance, there is
the prohibited pamphlet Free Speech
and a Free Press" First thought sug-
gests it as a poisoned arrow intended
by it's maker eventually to find it's
mark in the very heart of the govern
ment.
But the Catholic Church has not to
fear even the ''gates of He'll" When
it compiled the Index, and when on
occasions a volume is added, the
thought is not of self, but of the Sol
! diers of the Church Militant Mother
Church seeks to guard their armor
against a rust that would eat into it
and render it useless in the vital mo-
ment She would shield them not
| from the death of the body, but from
| the death of the soul.
Americas Index of forbidden books
| is welcome. OF itself it is good
thing, since it assures us greater in
ternal peace and security of life and
| limb. Let it be extended so far as is
necessary to end the present outrage
Gus abuse of the free press. Let it
| accomplish it's purpose in Kidding us
of political heresy, more truly political
madness. In addition the American
Index is welcome because it may aid in
smoothing out warped minds and lead
some to see the line that runs parallel
to it, the Index of forbidden books of
| the Catholic Church. -cD

CARDINAL FARLEY.

Last Wednesday morning the
press of the whole country car.
ried the sad announcement Of the
death of New York s distinguished
and beloved Metropolitan, Cardi,
nal Farley. While the news was
to some extent expected on ac,
count Of the Cardinals serious
illness, Catholics throughout the
country still hoped that the aged
prelate might be enabled to sur,
vive the attack and the inroads
Of pneumonia. 1t was, however.
Gods will to call His faithful
servant at this time, and the
whole Catholic Church humbly re
echoes the words, Thy will be
done.
While the loss Of a distin-
guished man always leaves a void
in the large circle in which his
activities were set, in the case OF
the late lamented Archbishop of
New York there is peculiar cause
for sorrow. Great bishops, like
other distinguished leaders, fire.
quently are developed by circum-
stances and environment. The
famous prelates of the middle
ages are represented at the pres,
|ent day by men Of energy and
iron who have been obliged to
struggle continuously and to com,
bat always the forces of evil ar,
rayed against the Church. Card,
inal Farley's life, on the other
hand, seems to have been east in
more quiet and smoother chan
nels. The great Archdiocese over
which he presided with dignity
and simple gentleness may truly
be called Pentecostal; it embraces
peoples Of well nigh every tongue
on earth. Despite the cosmopol,
itan nature Of his portion Of the
Lords vineyard, the great Card,
inal succeeded admirably and
with persuasive frmness in weld,
ing into one harmonious entity
the many elements which he con.
trolled.
While no one man can be said
to be essential in the Church OF
God, it still is true that in the
death Of Cardinal John Farley
both Church and State in this
country are the poorer for the
loss of so amiable leader. His
position as guiding head of a large
diocese can easily be filled, but
the influence which he welded as
churchman and as citizen long
will be missed by those who came
within range of the soft and pow
erful rays of his kindness, power
and personality.
