TO BISHOPS MEMORY
COURT OF APPEALS HONORS
LATE PRELATE OF
GALVESTON.

The Court of Civil Appeals, First SUI
preme Judicial District, convened re-
Gently and entered the following order
on the death Of Right Rev. N. A. Gal
lagher, Bishop of Galveston:
"Since the last sitting Of this court
this city has lost in the death of Right
Rev Bishop \. A. Gallagher one of her
oldest residents, most distinguished
best beloved and useful citizens His
funeral occurs today in this city.
For q number of years he has oc
cupied a place Of power and opportun
ity for service, and he has always Elk
ercised that power and embraced his
opportunities for the advancement OF
Righteousness and the welfare Of his
felloWrmen.
1T is ordered that the appreciation
of the life and character of BishOI
Gallagher be recorded in the minutes
Of the court, and as mark Of respect
to his memory this court be now ad
journed until after his funeral services
shall have been held"

Since the. present income tax

| Since the present income tax
law has become operative the num-
Der of relatively poor people seems
to have increased beyond all pro-
portion. According to officials,
income tax schedules disclose the
apparent poverty of those who
were considered more or less
opulent Wealth frequently shriv-
els to a diminutiye size when
brought under the powerful and
steady glare Of a tax law. 1t IS
to be remembered, however, that
the payment Of just taxes is a
duty i'll conscience, and that any
Wilful attempt at evasion OF this
duty constitutes moral offense.
Those persons who would resent
the epithet Of dishonesty applied
to themselves. and avoid inviting
that stigma, should make full,
complete, honest return as to their
financial duty.

WHISKY NO REMEDY.

An old idea is punctured by. D..
James j. Walsh in a comparison Of the
use of alcohol in medicine fifty year,
ago and today. Time was when the
medical profession prescribed alcohol
ic drinks as remedies. The man who
took his glass, and he was very
much in evidence-had the DOCTOR
warrant that liquor was stimulant,
a cold-killer and possessed of variOu'
other desirable qualities.
Writing in The Catholic World, tho
doctor takes away from the modern
dram-drinker all such excuses for graf
flying his appetite under the pretens2
that he needs whisky to stimulat
tagging energy, prevent him from
catching cold" etc.
incidentally and possibly uninten-
tionally, the writer vindicates the wis
dom and superior understanding Of
women, who, for ages have been us
ky that the doctor suggests in the
following passage:
''Arctic explorers who are subject
to the severest cold and the worst
possible exposure to wintry elements
do not take alcohol They warm them
selves at an alcoholic stove, but they
know better than to put alcohol inside
of them. Many people think that
when going out into the cold on Il
blustry day a glass of whisky makes
a good bracer' and keeps them
from catching cold There is ira
dition, also, that when one has been
rather thoroughly chilled or has got
ten ones feet wet a good horn Of
whisky, which usually means an
ounce or more, is just the thing to
prevent ill effects
Experience has taught Arctic ex-
plorers otherwise. They know better
when going out into the bitter cold
of blizzard with a temperature far
below zero than to take whisky.
When they come in out of the bitter
est cold it is not whisky that is given
them. Hot, fresh, weak tea in guam
titles has been found to be the best
bracer for them"
Little by little John Barleycorn's
grip is being loosened. 1t will b.
happy day for the world when he is
obliged to let go altogether. Now
that the doctors are coming out
against him, the prospect of his final
overthrow becomes more hopeful.

HELPING THE FRIENDLEss.

One Of the most praiSeWorthy
forms of charity is that winch
directs it's efforts towards the bet
terment of those who are unable
to help themselves. There are
many phases Of human misery to
be found, especially in all large
cities. Congested quarters and
temptations and allurements of
large popuIous centers tend IN
Variably to promote extravaganza
and waste among those who can
least afford it. The result is that
in all large cities there is con-
siderable number Of unfOrtunateS,
victims Of their own shiftlessness
or the carelessness Of others. The
most pathetic sufferers invariably
are the children. The sins or the
misf0rtmes Of the parents are
visited upon those innocent be-
ings, and it behOoves the forces OF
charity to array themselves for
the protection and preservation
OF these little unfortunatcs.
The City Missionary Of Mime
apolis, Rev. Michael McRaith, is
confronted by a huge task On
every hand he is brought face to
face with sickness, poverty,
| Ignorance and the fearful results
of intemperancc. In order to al
lcviate the widespread suffering
and especially to preserve Catho-
lie children for the Church, it is
necessary that sufficient financial
means be placed at his disposal
The various agencies that 60.
lopcrate with him iii his great
work Of human salvage have
eXertcd themselves to the utmost
in the past. Their steady and m
failing support is also assured fol
the future. The scope of his work
however, is so wide that more
lrcsources are needed to make thE
| labor effective. Doubtless there
are many persons, even OF or
binary means, who gladly WOulC
contribute to the upIift Of the IN
fortunate children were thi!
specific need brought to their at
tention. No greater charity can
we'll be imagined than that which
| is extended towards saving TIL
| little ones. 1t is greatly to b.
hoped that the channels Of charit,
Twill be broadened and that as
siStance in any and every form
will flow into this work in create
abundance.

AN ATHEISTIC CAMPAIGN

DISCIPLES OF FERRER TO

Knowing that the thoughts and en-
orgies Of all patriotic Italians are at
present largely occupied with the de-
tense Of the country, the atheists who
are supporting the Francesca Ferrer
Modern School" at Barcelona, Spain
have undertaken the task of estab
fishing similar institutions in Italy in
the hope that they will be able to carry
out their plans without much opposi
ton. They have just published their
program, notes the London Catholic
Times. Our first care" they say
when we entered on this work at Bar
celOna was to inform the public that
as we considered reason and science
antidOtes to all dogma, no religion
would be taught in our school. We
knew that this statement would eX

They propose to found atheistiC
schools at Milan and other centers Of
population in Italy and to attract into
them Catholic children, especially the
children of working men. The Italian
Catholics will, it is to be hoped, com
bat this project as they would the
plague. 1t is intolerable that outsiders
should presume to introduce scheme
for the destruction of the religion tt
which the people are SO profoundly at
tached, and should have the audacits
to insult them by referring to it a!

Pope Expresses Sympathy
RESCUED SOLDIERS WARMLY
- WELCOMED 9Y IRISH.

Evidences of warm sympathy with
America over the sinking of the Tus-
cania are apparent in all sections of
Italy. During a recent daily confer
ence between Pope Benedict and Car
dinal Gasparri, the Papal Secretary of
State, the Tuscania incident was the
chief topic. The Pontiff voiced deep
regret at the loss of so many brave
young lives, and expressed his feeling
THAI prayer must be more fervent and
constant that the end Of the conflict
might be fastened.
The contingent of rescued soldiers
that arrived at Belfast was met al

the Royal Irish Regiment headed by
the regimental band which escorted
them to temporary quarters. Crowds
Of citizens assembled at the station
and in the streets and greeted the
Americans with enthusiasm.

SWORD OF HONOR
TESTIMONIAL FROM JAPANESE
EMPEROR TO VERDUN.

The Mikado of Japan has presented
to the town of Verdun a sword as a
testimony of admiration for the brave
resistance to the German onslaught
made by the inhabitants during the
well-known siege. The presentation
of the sword was made by M. Matsul,
the Ambassador Of Japan in Paris, in
the name Of his Sovereign, to the
Mayor OF Verdun. The weapon is a
wonderful specimen OF modern Jap
anese art. The sword is considered
amongst the Japanese as the symbol
of valor and courage. The knights of
the Middle Ages made it point to
have a large collection of them. Some
of these warriors had as many as
from 1900 to 1900, and these weapons
were confided to the care of one spe-
cial man. The cutters who made these
swords were very proficient workmen,
as their ornamentation required al
most as much skill as sculpture. The
cases Of the sword were naturally the
part on which this ornamentation was
best shown.

INSTITUTION BURNS
REFUGE FIRE TOLL MAY BE 100
LIVES IN DISASTER AT
MONTREAL.

3
From the ruins of the Grey Nun
nery's fire-swept west wing in Mon
treal, Canada, the bodies of fourteen
children were recovered last week,
raising to fifty-tWo the death toll of
the tragedy which visited the institu-
ton February IA. The heroism of the
Sisters who were nursing soldiers in
valided home from overseas, averted
greater loss of life. The origin of the
fire has not been determined. Off
Gals of the institution were unable to
give list of the exact number of miss
ing, but they said the loss of life may
reach 100. The fire started in the
dormitory of the Creche, where there
were 10 children, mostly babies of a
few days or a few weeks old. There
were more than 1000 inmates of the
nunnery, including patients in a hos
pital for returned and sick soldiers,
which was situated directly under the
infants dormitory.
All the hospital patients and many
aged bed-ridden inmates we're carried
to safety by firemen and soldiers.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
ALCOHOL A DANGEROUS TOXIN.

The world is convinced that alcohol
is dangerous toxin, says The Mis-
sionary. The medical profession has
repudiated it, even as a drug, except
in some few and rare cases. Only
it's victims are deluded by the false
strength which it gives, just as all
users of drugs are deluded through
their disordered fancies. Alcohol
drinking has come into i'll repute
among all the nations of the earth.
Every nation needs the best that is
in it's citizens. Alcohol lowers vital
ity and lessons efficiency. Patriotism
and humanitarianism demand the dim
mutton of it's use to the lowest pos
sible limit.
Although it has been worldly pru-
dence which, for the most part, has
inspired the stopping of the manu-
facture of whiskey in the United
States and the prohibition of all al
coholic beverages in many states, the
religious-minded may we'll rejoice
that Whiskey will be less available
for destroying the souls of men.
Whether whiskey be dead or only
| scotched, it can never be restored
to honor among men.
