The National Catholic War
Council touched a vital spot in
the modern industrial world
when it stated that both the la
borer and the employer need a
new viewpoint. Rather do they
require to have their attention
forcibly recalled to an old view
point that seems to have vanished
i'll the shimmering haze Of social
ambition.
The truth referred to is related
to an old commandment which
says: "Thou shalt not steal. "
The Council points out that the
laborer should not seek to deprive
his employer Of the full measure
Of service contracted for. On the
other hand, the employer is
bound to give fair and just re-
turns to the workingman for the
service conscientiously rendered.
Any other mode of action may be
traced to violation of the COM
mandment which forbids steal
ing: on the part of one or the
other.
When the limpid principles of
Christianity have become deeply
imbedded in the hearts and the
minds of the present generation,
then will a more just equalization
be found i'll the relations between
employer and employee. Legis-
lation may force justice in this
matter, but it will be found defec-
tive, and it will lead to economic
| disturbances unless it find a re
Spouse in minds imbued with
Christian ideals.

HIS BEER MONEY.

I was introduced few months ago
to a painter by trade, an eX-fighting
man, an eX-drunkard, an transferable.
Religion has restored his soul, and
made him a useful citizen. He told
me how his mates continually ask him,
Don't your missus never give you any
beer money!" "To which I answered
them,'' he said, grinning, "Hoh yuss;
my old lady gives me plenty of beer
money-shilling and shillings. And
where do you think | keep it? In my
garden? Amt that artful of me? And
some Of my beer money has got feath-
ers and lays eggs, and some has got
fur and makes lovely pie, and some
has got flowers and smells bit OF all
right. Yuss, if you'd like to see my
beer money, drop in some Saturday
afternoon and take q walk round my
garden. I'll show you last weeks beer
money, the weeks before-yuss, and

growing and smelling beautiful. By
the way, old friend, where's your beer
money? Where is it? Can you show
me, or is the publican keeping it for
you till Christmas?"

GENEROUS TO MISSIONS.

The annual report of the arch
diocese of st. Paul, i'll matter of
foreign missions, during the past
year is at hand. 1t shows splen-
did awakening on the part of our
people to the needs of the mis-
sions. 1t, moreover, reflects most
favorably upon the zeal and en-
ergy of the diocesan director. In
the year 1918 the Catholics Of this
diocese contributed, in round fig
ures, forty thousand dollars for
the spread Of Christianity abroad.
They are helping the work of the
Church in pagan lands, just as
the Propagation Of the Faith So
ciety and the Leopoldine Society
Of Austria assisted the struggling
missions in the northwest before
the dawn Of prosperity in this
part Of the country.
A few years ago the great do
cese Of Philadelphia aimed at an
annual mission fund Of fifty thou
sand dollars. Last year the total
was approximately three times
that amount. st. Paul shows a
proportionate increase equivalent
to that of any diocese in the
land. 1t is conclusive evidence
that our people are awake to the
needs of the poor missionary, not
personal needs but the necessities

initely. In other words, the i'll
terest from this burse defrays the
expense Of educating a native
priest every six years. This good
work goes on without ceasing. Nc
doubt more Of our wealthy and
generous Catholics would found
such a burse were the matter
brought to their attention. At the
same time it forms a most fitting

pose. 1t is the best possible in.

not anywhere in history appear
more clear than in the life of the
foster-father Of the Redeemer.
While bending to his daily tasks,
and providing the necessary sus-
tenance for the Holy Family, St.
Joseph stood forth as one OF the
noblest human beings created by
God. True, the standard OF the
world did not appraise him high
ly: after all, the standard of the
world is uncertain and t1eeting /;
only that value which is meas
ured in the scales of the sanctu-
airy counts for aught.
st. Joseph is truly a model to
all classes of men. If misfortune
has visited you, if poverty is your
lot, if the sneers of the world are
your portion, if lowliness is your
condition; in a word, if the world
looks upon you as one of the sub
merged multitude, remember that
the divinely appointed protector
of God Himself shared all these
things in his life. If, on the
other hand, fortune has smiled
upon you, if health, honor, pros
perity and all the delights OF life
have attended your path, do not
forget that none of these things
constitutes the accepted badge of
nobility before God. st. Joseph
was shorn Of all such worldly
gifts, and yet, next to the Mother
of God herself, he stands nearest
to the throne Of the Almighty.
Thus is it seen that st. Joseph
is not only the patron Of the
whole Church, but he is at the
same time a model for all. His
power Of intercession has become
proverbial in the Church. Indi.
viduals as we'll as whole commu-
mites rely upon his favor with
the same unquestioning conf
dence that they repose in a gener,
Gus benefactor who has promised
them unlimited assistance. Go tC
st. Joseph, was the injunction tc
the ancient Egyptians with refer,
ence to the young Hebrew who
had risen to power in that coun
try. Go to st. Joseph, has been
sounded through the Catholic
Church down the ages, with g
never-failing response on the part
Of the sweet, gentle, kindly ole
Saint.

SAINT JOSEPH.

Once more the Church brings
to the notice Of the faithful the
glory and power of st. Joseph.
On March 10 the faithful through
out the world recall the splendid
simplicity that characterized the
life of him who was appointed by
God as protector and guardian OF
the Holy Family. While the
whole month of March is dedi-
Gated to the memory Of this great
patriarch, it is principally on his
festival that Catholics love to
dwell upon his virtues and power
Of intercession.

Hold" says the traffic. Il am going

be reformer Don't touch me-
In the meantime the long suffering
body of the American people, having
endured the pain and loss and shame
of ''lquoritis' so long, has cried to
Congress. "Cut it out. For the sake of
humanity, cut it out. Make a clean
job of it. No custom Or institution
or even individual has the right to
exist when that existence threatens the
permanent welfare of the whole body.
Cut it out and be quick about it," And
the surgeon has lifted his knife. Shall
the liquor politician and the liquor
newspaper be allowed to seize the
surgeons hand? America has suffered
long enough from 'liquoritis." Let
the gangrene be cut out. No use to
waste any more time on it. 1t is folly
to cut Off a bit here and bit there.
Let the whole thing be cut out and
make a clean job of it.

OUR SCHOOLS AND SOCIAL
SERVICE.

One of the important phases Of
the plan for reimbursement Of con-
ditions after the past world up
heaval is that which takes into
account what is called social serv-
ice. By this expression is meant
a widening of the enrolling spir-
it of Christian charity which seeks
to do good to all men. The world
ly counterpart of charity is called
philanthropy. They both aim at
the alienation of suffering or the
betterment of the race. One acts
with supernatural motive, while
the other responds to natural
impulse.
Long ago the Catholic Church
reduced charity to the efficiency
of scientific operation. She estab-
lished various institutions in
which the principal needs Of suf-
fering or ignorant humanity
might be cured. At the same time
she promoted the growth of or
CARNATIONS, both of men and of
women, who would specialize in
the several works dictated by
charity. Thus our schools, hospi-
tails, and homes for the needy, as
well as the orders of men and OF
women, came into existence. Fol
many centuries the social welfare
Of humanity was advanced almost
exclusively through these chan
lnels.

THE NEW SHIP.

Just now the world is watching
the fortune of the league Of ma
tons. The league has been
launched upon the sea Of diplo-
macy as a stout and tight bark.
It's pilot, Woodrow Wilson, had
cilarted the sea as far as humanity
possible, But hidden shoals and
submerged peaks are to be en-
countered and avoided. Not only
pirates but foolish mariners scour
the deep. Here and there a cor
sair drops down upon the horizon,
fires a shot, and speeds away. The
bark nobly breasts the waves as
they dash over her decks. She
cuts the trough Of the sea even as
a tank spans a trench, rising cas-
lily on the other side.

while others fill real need. Dur
ing the past few years women of
the laity have taken up work
along humanitarian lines with
great zest and enthusiasm. Sue
cess in this field comes chiefly to
those who are trained in social
service. While frequently there
is a great deal Of nonsense to
social service, still there is a
large amount Of good to be ac-
complished by these means. Cath
Ollie women have not been slow to
take up this work. If they are to
succeed it is necessary that they
be trained in the most efficient
manner in order to render valu-
able service without a waste Of
energy.
For this reason our high schools
and academies might do well to
establish such a department
where pupils, DESTROYS Of engag-
ing in the work of social service,
may receive solid Catholic train
ing. A school which takes this
matter seriously and which pro-
vides facilities for a. thorough
course in such a branch, will be
certain Of adding to it's educa-
tional efficiency, and of doing a
real, necessary service to the
young women who will be called
upon or who may choose to de-
vote their energy and talents to
this laudable work for humanity.

Archbishop Moeller, in his
Lenten pastoral, has this admoui-
tory paragraph: Mixed mar
riages are forbidden by the law
of the Church, and therefore no
Catholic lady should engage her
self to non-Catholic without first
ascertaining from her pastor
whether she has sufficient reason
for obtaining dispensation. The
same holds true if a Catholic
young man desires to marry a
mont Catholic young lady. In the
latter case | do not deem it adj
visable to grant a dispensation
unless there is well grounded
hope for the conversion of the
on-Catholic."

VODKA AGAIN.

Vodka is again allowed to be sold
in Russia, the Kolchak Government
having removed the prohibition ban
imposed by the late Car at the begin
ming of the war. The license system
will be adopted, with high excise
charges, for the purpose of obtaining
money to defray the cost of the new
army. Soberminded persons will re-
gard this as retrograde movement,
an unfortunate one, when conditions
as they exist in that country are con-

bring about a peaceful solution of the
