FUTURE MORAL PERILS.

The nation has passed through
a hard and trying period. The
call to the colors Of hundreds of
thousands Of young men left bare
the ranks of industry. The en-
ployment Of young women and
youths was made imperative.
But all this produced conditions
that were dangerous and abnor-
NAL, observes a writer.
Again there was manifest on the
part of many citizens desire to
extend every kindness to our
boys. This desire in itself when
rightly expressed, was honest and
laudable. But here again abuses
gradually crept in, owing to the
over-indulgence of parents.
Even the casual observer has
noted the frivolity and unbecom-
ing conduct of young boys and
girls since the outbreak of the
war. The publicity Of prominent
thoroughfares could not at times
keep their actions within bounds.
It is matter Of common knowl-
edge that for the protection Of our
soldiers, zones were made neces-
sary within which certain classes
were not allowed to enter. All
this was the result of unusual con-
ditions. Nevertheless, it should
BE warning to parents Of the
dangers of our times to their chill
dren. There have been many sad
examples brought to light during
these months of war. Thought
lessness may perhaps be pleaded
by the child, but what of the
parent?
Every Catholic father and
mother knows the seriousness of
parental responsibility. They
know that God holds them ac-
countable for the lives of their
children. They are aware of the
judgment that awaits them if they
neglect or ignore their plain duty
to their young. Yet in all too
many cases the responsibility for
the ruin of young boys or girls
has attached to them.
In the days just ahead Of us
there are still great perils to the
souls Of the young. A great vic
tory over the forces Of oppression
has been won, and in the outburst
Of enthusiasm there is the danger
Of throwing off all moral
restraints and overstepping the
bounds of decency and morality
The past should be our guide fol
the future. A cursory glance al
the daily journals sufices to show
the enormous toll of innocence
constantly being taken. This II
itself is proof that too much at
tention cannot be paid to the
child's actions and whereabouts
Splendid work has been done by
the pastors of our churches II
warning fathers and mothers O.

RENTING vigilance they mus
exercise over their children. TAeil

A Unique Event

A unique Thanksgiving parade and
mass meeting was held in Woodstock,
Ont, recently, when probably for the
first time in the history of the city the
members of the Orange lodge and the
Knights of Columbus walked together
in the procession. The parade was
also participated in by the members
of the local branch of the Great War
Veterans association, led by the 22nd
Regiment band. The mass meeting
was held in the Arena, and the large
crowd was addressed by both the
Protestant and Catholic clergy of the
city.

The problems that always follow
a great war are already beginning
to loom upon the horizon. Cath
olics must be prepared to meet
new conditions, and probably new
viewpoints. The Church ever adj
iustS herself to every political
change, but each individual should
understand the nature Of the new
questions that he may quickly
align himself with the position
taken by his Church.

The war department has or
dered the discharge of all drafted
men who are conscientious OBJ
jectors to war and who refused to
do even noncombatant duty in the
army. Notation will be made in
the discharge that the man is a
conscientious objector who has
done, no military duty whatsoever
and who has refused to wear the
uniform.

One of the most pleasing recol-
lections of the great struggle just
closed is the stand taken by Gen
eral Pershing, the American COM
mander, for high standard of
morality in our forces. That this
desire was fulfilled is apparent
from the various reports that come
from army chaplains and other
officials with our fighting units on
land and sea.

From time to time we receive
obituary notices and eulogies of
deceased readers or their friends,
with request to publish. While
it would be a pleasure to acquiesce
in such a legitimate request, it is
not possible owing to the imita-
tons of space, and the fact that
such a department would neces-
sarily be quite large.

There is perceptible throughout
the nation feeling against the
Catholic schools. This sentiment
is actuated by two causes: the
success of these institutions in
their chosen field, and the desire
of politicians to get every private
educational and other institution
under their thumb.

not pass so tightly over the unique
style in which the luncheon was
served. The original intention of
having this important feature of
the program out of doors was frus-
trated by the unusually chilly Sep.

THE NAVAL BASE

Tampa is working to become one of the
great naval bases of the South, and in a
recent issue, The Tribune carries an edi-
torial. the following excerpts from which
will be read with interest:
"The Tribune is not strong on exploit
ing rumOrs that official Washington COM
missions will do such and such thing,
knowing that commissions must report to
congress which created them, and through
congress must come the report Of investi-
cation, However, the Tampa correspond
cnt in Washington sends word that it is
pretty we'll understood there that the Helm
commission will recommend Tampa as the
naval base station sought by the depart
ment < x The locating of the base,
should it be placed in Tampa, will undoubt-
eddy be one of the greatest things that
could come to this Section. It would Sur
pass in Importance the camps located in
other cities, for it will mean the permanent
placing of trust in our midst the perma-
nent location of a good industrial centre,
and the permanent keeping here Of what
must become a great export business as
we'll as a ship-building and navy yard. In
addition to this, should the location Of the
naval base be fixed for Tampa then it
would seem that little doubt concerning
the establishing of the great shipbuilding
yard proposed by Mr.. Ford and the gov
Ell eminent would be left, Tampa being the
naval base. and protected at by fortiti-
cations and in close touch with the steel
and the iron and the timber Of the land
would be the logical place for a great ship
yard We, as we said before. do not like to
arouse ourselves to too high point OF as
surance, but it looks like Tampa has some
thing to look forward to now
1t does look that way. But it looks to
Pensacola as if Tampa has to look very
far forward indeed, in her optimism. Pen
sacola is the logical naval base on the Flor
ida coast. Pensacola is nearer to the coal
fields OF Alabama nearer to steel, nearer
to lumber
Pensacola does not begrudge Tampa its
splendid prosperity, There is prosperity
here, too, and plenty of it. But Pensacola
with its splendid harbor, its proximity to
coal and steel, would seem to be the logical
place to situate the naval base and such an
enterprise Mr. Ford has in mind
