EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
CATHOLIC WAR COUNCIL OFFICE
IN ST. PAUL PLACES MANY RE-
TURNED SOLDIERS IN POSI-
TlONS.

Mr.. Frank M. Kieron, director of
the st. Paul employment Office of the
Catholic War Council and the Knights
of Columbus, writes as follows:
Since April 1, the st. Paul office of
the National Catholic War Council
and K. of C. has placed over 1900
returned soldiers, sailors and mar
ines in positions.
One of the special features of the
work has been the placing of men on
farms; although it was well under
stood at the beginning that this
would be a difficult thing to do be-
cause so many of the men show no
disposition whatever to go into the
country; Notwithstanding this a good
ly number of the men have been
placed in fine farm positions. About
SIS per month with board, room and
laundry was the wage.
Letters have come in from boys
who have been placed on Minnesota
farms expressing genuine apprecia
| ton of the treatment they have re
| ceived from the farmers. Farmers
have, on the other hand, likewise
| expressed equal satisfaction with
/. these men that we have sent out to
them. There are still plenty of open
ings for farm help.
| The st. Paul Office of the National
| Catholic War Council is the only EN-.
| ployment bureau in the Northwest
| that specialized on farm work fol
| service men.
| Positions were secured for men in
all lines of activity: in wholesale, re
tail, manufacturing and industrial in
| situations, railroads, The American
Railway Express Company, etc.
The disposition of employers to dc
what they could for service men has
been evidenced all through the Blu
reaus experience, and this assist
ance has been genuinely appreciated
We had the pleasure of having mer
re-instated in their former positions
held before the war, and from which
they had been discharged for various
reasons.
Employers and business men who
are in need of help are kindly re
| quested to bear our Bureau in mind

LOOK FOR THE GOOD.

Some men are so constituted
that they are ever on the alert to
discover the bad that exists, or is
supposed to exist, in their neigh
borhood. They become so self
centered, so egotisitc, so jaundice-
eyed, that the actual good which
their neighbor possesses becomes
to their myopic vision positive
evil. They attribute false motives
to him, invent imaginary defects,
accuse him of what exists only
in their diseased brain, and
then run him to earth. They push
him to the edge Of the pit and
then abuse him for falling in.
All the world s out Of step: they
alone walk straight. Like the
pharisee cutting capers before
high heaven and despising the
publican, they fail to read the
genuine goodness that lodges in
the soul of their neighbor, because
that goodness Jars on their spirit
ual nerves and shows up their des-
picable pride in all its hideous.

FULL TEXT OF LETTER ISSUED
AFTER MAYNOOTH MEETING
DEPLoRE GOVERNMENT BY
THE SWORD IN lRELAND-DE-
MAND THAT RIGHT PREVAIL.

The general meeting of the Irish
Hierarchy, held recently in Maynooth
and presided over by Cardinal Logue,
issued statement on the Irish ques-
ton, a portion of which the press in
this country published. The complete
statement now at hand and signed by
tWenty-six members is as follows:
Bishops Statement.
''No body of Irishmen can be more
profoundly interested than the Irish
Bishops in any scheme that would sat
isfy the legitimate aspirations of Ire
land and bring peace and content
ment to her people. The existing
method of government cannot last. It
substitutes government by constraint
with all it's evils for government by
consent with all its blessings.
An Unredressed Wrong.
cat this fateful stage in the history
Of the human family congress in the
United States of America, where our
people always received a warm well
the advantages of the liberty denied
to them at home, finds an unredressed
wrong in Ireland that calls to it to
speak out in the hearing Of the world.
''As for us, we have the evils of
military rule exhibited at our doors.
In this ancient, civilizing nation, the
people are not permitted to rule
themselves through men of their own
choice. The work is done for them by
some stranger without any knowledge
of the country.
/ at is the rule of the sword, utterly
unsuited to a civilized nation, and SUI
premely provocative of disorder and
chronic rebellion. The acts of vio-
lence, which we have to deplOre, and
they are few, spring from this cause,
and from this cause alone. For mere
trif1es, for what in any free country
would be within the rights of all men,
Irish people have been sent to Jail
under savage sentences.
Moreover, at the present time an
enormous sum is raised annually by
over-taxation without any attempt be-
ing made, beyond empty promises, to
promote suitable schemes of recon
struction and development in Ireland.

demnation proceedings to the law
fully constituted authorities.
Even though your brother fall,
even though he lack your idea of
perfection, his actual worth be-
fore God may be far greater than
your Wanted virtue. The phari-
sees stood in solemn majesty at
the foot Of the cross: murderer
hung beside the Lord. The muir
derer entered heaven that day,
while it does not require unusual
perception to surmise where the
pharisees are at this moment.
st. Augustine once wrote: "On
entering heaven we shall be con-
fronted by three surprises; first,
that some whom we expected to
meet there never arrived ); second,
that some whom we had con-
demned to the abyss are already
in glory; and third, that we our
selves managed to reach so beau
teous place.
Learn to view your brother with
charity, and look for the good.
"The evil that men do lives after
them: the good is oft inferred
with their bones" Try to keep
alive the memory Of their good
ness, and let the evil be buried in
your forgetfulness.

ABUSING A BENEFIT.

One Of the most beneficial in
ventions of modern economic life
is the cold storage plant. By va
rious processes meats, eggs, but
ter and many other products are
kept in a state Of comparative
freshness for an indefinite time.
This accumulation can then be
turned into the channels Of con-
sumption when there is a short
age in this line during an unfor-
tunate year. In this way did the
Egyptians benefit by the wisdom
Of Joseph in saving the surplus,
during the years of plenty, for the
lean years that soon followed.
Viewed as a business and humani-
tartan proposition, therefore, the
cold storage plant is an ideal in
stitution.
The natural cupidity Of man,
however, will fasten itself upon
the best and hottest things in life.
Nor will it spare the immense
profits that are to be made by
abusing this beneficial safeguard
of the nation s comfort. 1t is pos
sible during the prosperous years
to gather in a vast quantity of
food stuffs, to buy up crops before
they are planted, and to hoard
them all in the warehouses while
people are exposed to famine or
extortionate prices.
1t is said that the agents Of a
certain welfare organization re-
fused to sell their supplies to the
soldiers without receiving the full
price of the article. Or as the
men expressed it, eff you had
only nine cents and the article
cost ten, you could not buy it from
them" This surely was profiteer-
ing with a vengeance, as the sol
diers frequently were obliged to
60 without the comforts Of life
through such selfish policy. Is
the abuse Of the cold storage plant
any different from this inconsis,
tent conduct? All patriotic men
condemn with detestation such
unworthy acts towards the ma
tons defenders; what is to be
said Of the cold storage pirate
who operates along the same line
of grasping selfshness? Legiti
mate profits can be denied nc
man: heartless extortion, such as
we have seen Of late, deserves
what the Brotherhood Of Train
men threatened, "the firms

IRISH BISHOPS STATEMENT

across the channel. But if we ask
back a little of the huge overcharge
paid out of this country, to put life
into our starved systems of educa-
ton, the cry comes from the Castle
that the remedy is to add to the rates.
Aggressive Domination Must Stop.
Every day the air is charged with
rumors about unsetting such parts of
the public administration as, after
years of agitation, have been brought
somewhat into harmony with popular
wishes; and our rulers latterly have
been engaged in the apparently con-
genial task of transferring both the
powers that were exercised by an un-
representative authority and those
that were to be entrusted to a repre-
sentative Irish body, from the capital
of Ireland to the capital of England.
In the interests of peace and or
der, of morality and of nationality,
this aggressive domination should
stop once for all. So long as it lasts,
our faithful people should not allow
any provocation to move them to over
step the law of God. They have an
inspiring example to guide them.
When Belgium lay PROSTATE under
the heel of oppression, the Belgians in
like trials listened to the councils of
Cardinal MERCER, and they have their
reward. 1t shall be so, please God
with our people also.
Right Must Be Recognized.
ireland is a distinct and ancient
nation, and it is vain to hope that
things will go we'll for Ireland or for
England until Ireland's rights are
duly recognized. She is fully entitled
to a government that will be the free
choice of all her people. Her right is
to be the mistress of her own destiny
With the deepest affection for all her
inhabitants of every persuasion, and
in pursuance of the duties of our high
trust in the interests of peace and re-
ligion, we desire to state, with all the
earnestness we can command, that
now is the time for doing justice tC
Ireland as a nation.
with that feeling in our minds, we
cannot conclude this statement of our
intense sympathy with our people
without declaring our profound graft
tude for the priceless service to Ire
land and to civilization rendered by
the senate, the house of representa-
tives, the hierarchy, clergy and people
of every denomination in America, in
so nobly espousing the cause of Ire
land at this turning point in her his

THE COLLEGE MAN AND
ALCOHOL.

Scientific revelations in regard to
the effect of alcohol on the human
body have set college authorities and
athletes a-thinking-and thinking to
some purpose. 1t is realized that a
clear brain is, of all things, the most
important for a college man to have;
also that the bodies of the young are
rich in reserve, in potential forces,
and that they need no stimulant, me-
retricious or otherwise. And here is
some of the fruit.
Of recent years the managers of the
Boston marathon races have absolute
ly forbidden the use of alcohol before
and during the race. Fifteen out of
Connie Mack's twenty-five Philadel-
phia Athletics, in 1910, when that team
won the worlds baseball champion
ship, did not even know the taste of
liquor"
Ted Coy, Yale captain few years
ago, put the ban on all forms of alco-
holic drinks for his team. At Cornell
neither alcohol nor tobacco is used at
any of the training tables, and the
use of either by men in training for
the athletic teams is strictly tabooed.
At the University of Wisconsin alco-
hol is entirely prohibited to men in
training; "all of our coaches are quite
agreed that it is of no value" Pro-
fessor A. A. Stage yale 1887, now
the physical trainer at the University
of Chicago, states, 1--WE have no train
ing table; for twelve years previously
we did, but at no time and in no re-
spect was alcoholic liquor of any sort
in USE" The University of California
has mo liquor at it's athletic training
| tables" At Princeton men in train
ing for athletic teams are forbidden to
use alcohol" mo alcohol" is the rule
at the Universities of Michigan and
Wisconsin, and at most of the West
ern universities.

PROHIBITION AND THE DRUG
HABIT.

Here is a man accustomed to his
alcoholic debauch. He cannot step
next door and start off. He decides
to take morphine. How is he going
to get it? He will wind up by find
ing that the one is about as easy to
get as the other, and he will stick to
what he has been using. AS time goes
on the stuff becomes increasingly diff
ficult to get, but at the same time get
ting narcotics will be increasingly diff
ficult.
Then he will discover that his will
power has been gradually growing
stronger, and his desire to drink has
been gradually growing weaker. He
will be ready to do without by the
time the lines are drawn tight. Those
who are hopeless will die off year by
year. In the meanwhile the new gen.
Grafton will be coming on, with new
customs and habits. They will not
develop alcohol or morphine addiction
as an outlet for their neurotic i'm
pulses.
To my mind there is ground for the
position taken by Lambert and others
that drug addicts are progressive. The
progress being from cigarette to
stronge. tobacco, from milder alcohols
to stronger alcohols, to opium, and
finally 10 cocaine. In the long run
we will materially lessen the num-
Der of neurotic addicts by breaking
oil 10 solz in, hn oh inc
most in proportion as we decrease the
use of alcohol will we in the long run
decrease the use of opium and CO.
CAME So much for the theoretical Or
physiological basis for the contention
that prohibition will increase the use
of narcotics.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
LIQUOR AND DIVORCE.

The divorce evil, so thoroughly abb
horred by Catholics, is occasionally
attacked by those who are in a posi-
ton to analyze it's causes and to see
and estimate how great this evil real
ly is.
Judge Thompson, of the Appellate
Court of Chicago, recently spoke as
follows:
do not imagine that the real caus-
es for divorce correspond with the le-
gal causes alleged, for they do not.
Although a comparatively small
number of cases I heard involved de-
crees granting divorces for the legal
cause of drunkenness, In fully 20 per
cent of all the cases in which there
could be said to be a direct underly-
ing cause, that cause was drink. &C.,.
almost without exception, in the
case in which divorce was sought on
the ground of cruelty, liquor was the
skeleton that lurked in the family
closet, and was the direct underlying
cause of the trouble. This in my judg-
ment, is the most common direct
cause of the destruction of our homes
through divorce"
| Judge Sheridan Fry, who sits in the
Court of Domestic Relations, made
this statement from the bench a few
weeks ago.
eve are going dry in this country,
and 1 know why. 1t is because one
half of our people have taught the 9TH
er half how to drink"
Before Judge Fry stood a woman
who was the mother of four children
now scattered. She was brought into
court by her husband, who charged
her with habitual drunkenness.
when did you take your first
drink?" the Judge asked.
"On the eve of our marriage"
"Who gave it to your"
"My husband. He was in the saloon
business and our sideboard was laden
with liquor. Furthermore, he gave it
to me constantly, and now you see the
result"
Judge Brothers, of the Circuit Court
of Chicago, said:
"Desertion and cruelty are often
the outgrowth of drink. A man sell
dom beats his wife when he is sober"
