shevism in America.
(Catholic Press Association

Washington, Jan. 29.-William B.
Wilson, Secretary of Labor, says:
Get your business going now and
keep it going on the pre-war basis or
better. Hire men. Help to prevent
widespread unemployment. Do not
try to force down wages, thus bring
ing on industrial unrest, the end Of
which we could not predict"
Senator Harding, of Ohio, says:
The other day l read very impor-
tant utterance from a member of the
Presidents Cabinet, saying that it
was unthinkable that there should be
any change in the rate of wages paid.
Senators, the public official who
makes that statement and at the
same time cries out for reduced
cost of living, is a demagogue in the
widest terms that can be named, be-
cause you can not reduce the cost
of living and maintain the present
standard of American wages. am
just as much in favor of high stand
| ard of wages as any man on this
| floor. l think the war will have been
in vain, if we go back to old condi-
tions that existed heretofore. Nay,
more, l think the war will have been
in vain and our civilization will have
failed to meet the new world condi-
tions, if we do not have the con.
science and the courage and the CO.
operation to reach state where
henceforth there is a fairer division
of the profits of production. If you
do not do it, you will have more Boil
shevism in the United States OF
America than there is in the great
pathetic land of Russia. But the
difficulty is in maintaining war con
ditions. No man, with an ounce Of
common sense, believes they can be
maintained"
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, says;
Unless prices 60 down, the average
American citizen, particularly in cities
and towns, will not be able to live
he can not earn an honest living. TIT
clerks and smaller salaried people IL
all the towns and cities today ar,
struggling under an Overwhelming
load of debt. Prices can not go dow
unless to some extent, at least thu
cost of labor goes down with them
We had just as we'll face this question

So far as possible the programs Of
the War Savings Societies will be
worked out on pleasant and attrac-
tive lines. 1t Is planned to have each
member take an active part from time
to time. The study done in preparing
papers or short talks before the So
ciety will educate the members in the

lied to teach.
Intensive Preparation.
Between now and February 18th
there will be meetings of War Servings
society organizers in many parts of
the district at which speakers under
direction of the central com Gittee will
outline the purposes and plans of the
societies.
Although the societies are now being
organized for the year 1919, it has
been announced at Washington that
they will be kept alive and encour-
aged to continue permanently. The
two-fold purpose Of maintaining the
societies will be to continue giving
the people aid in their efforts to save
and to aid steadily to the Govern
ment's income from small sources.
The Treasury Department has an
nounced definitely that taxes can be
reduced in practically direct ratio to
the amount of money supplied the
United States through sale of War
Savings Stamps.
working on the fundamental idea
of the value of Thrift, we intend also
to convince every person in the dis
trict that the purchase of War Saw
ings Stamps will make savings do a
better, bigger and more valuable work
than any other use of the money" Mr..
Meyering said today. cat the same
time the money saved and invested in
stamps will be perfectly safe and will
yield an interest return of between
4 per cent. and per cent. each year.
For more than four years the world
has been spending. Now the world
must either start saving to make up
for the loss and waste or it must fall
back into stagnation and sink to q
lower standard of comfort and happi
ness than it had before 1914. But II
is not necessary for the American
people to fall back If they are thrifty
and save. We have the best oppor
tunity to save of any Of the worlds
nations. We have the food, clothing
and money-all the good things OF
life. We must make the basis of oul
prosperity secure. Saving makes the
future prosperity of the individual
safe. At the same time it supplies mo
ney to the Government with which
the whole national structure can be
so strengthened that we will not have
to lose or forego any Of our nationa
prosperity"

all probability, and it kindred and ak
lied forces, because we have already
been given official notice of that fact
by its leader, Mr.. Gompers, arrayed in
death struggle against the Govern
ment and against the balance of the
country. They say that under no cir
cumstances shall the price of wages
go down."
"The Gospel of Revolution"
Senator Harding, of Ohio, made this
accusation in the U. S. Senate:
II do not forget. Senators, that in
high places in this country, both
executive and legislative, we preached
the gospel of revolution in the Central
Empires of Europe. We were so eager
to make war on constituted authority,
that we proclaimed revolution as one
of the greatest essentials to bring
about peace and tranquility in the
world. You lighted fire then that
1t is difficult to put out now. II l
had to choose for myself between hate.
full autocracy, on the one hand, or des.
troying anarchy and It's democracy,
on the other, if there is no righteous
| mean between these two hateful ex.
| tref1les, l choose autocracy. We have
been encouraging the lighting of the
fires of revolution throughout the
world, without counting the possible
! cost to ourselves"

A Real Wild West
Show 10 Entertain
|h' Soldiers IN France
Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming
Offer to Finance the Project.

Cedar Rapids, a., Jan. 29.-(Spe-
cial to The Catholic Messenger)-
Sixty rip, rarin' bowboys, forty full
blooded Indians, over hundred buck
ing bronchoes, a dozen comely "cow-
girls" fresh from the plains, and all
the other paraphernalia Of real wild
west show will soon be taken to
France to entertain the American SOL
diers, If a plan which has just been
put up to the knights of Columbus
overseas committee in New York is
carried out
Most Iowa people are familiar with
the wild west outfit known as "Fron-
tier Days" For several years it was
the feature attraction at the Interstate
fair in Sioux City, and the aggrega-
ton has given yearly exhibitions at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, that always prove
a great drawing card. F. T. Corcoran
of Fort Morgan, Colo, who has volun-
teered as K. of G. secretary for
work in France, has offered to finance
sending the show over If the Knights
of Columbus will stand sponsor as
manager. Mr.. Corcoran told the New
York bureau it would cost about $780,
900, but that the citizens of Colorado,
Wyoming and New Mexico would put
up the coin so it wouldn't cost the
X. of C. cent.
It is proposed to give about 80 per-
formances in places where a large
number of soldiers could congregate.
The show would be absolutely free to
all, carrying out the X. Of G. idea Of
service without charge. No string Of
any kind is attached to the offer The
people of Colorado, Wyoming and New
Mexico are anxious to show their ap-
probation of what the American SOL
diers have done, and selected that
method, according to Corcoran.
Frontier Days" is as much of an
institution as Ringling's circus. Out
in Cheyenne, where many 1owans have
witnessed the show, it is not I'M
usual to play to as many as 10000
spectators in one day. 1t is safe to
say 1t would be no trouble to assem-
BILE that many American doughboys
If word was passed along that real
wild west outfit was coming.
Information concerning the propo-
sition has been received by Joe Nc
Cormick of this city, state secretary
of the X. of c., from the organiza-
tons overseas headquarters in New
York.

Save the Standard-Also, there is
something which we can do. Spread
the story of Ireland's claims and rights
and wrongs by disseminating the Cath
olic papers. Never destroy one of
them but pass 1t on" and those who
still have few dollars left after the
various drives" subscribe for extra
papers. If you do not know a non
Catholic who will read it send the
money to the editor and ask him to
use it for that purpose. Put Catholic
papers in waiting rooms, rest rooms
and libraries. The people of the U
S. A. are for the square deal" Let
them read the truth.

Bishop chartralnd's
Plea for ireland

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Part. Rev.
Bishop Chartrand, in an official letter
makes a powerful plea for the adju.
d1cat1on of 1reland's wrongs by the
Peace Conference His letter reads:
Among the nations, petitioners at
the Peace Conference for independ-
ence and the right to shape their own
future, none has more valid claim
than Ireland.
The story of the wrongs she has
suffered is too we'll known through
out the world to be ignored, or final
ly disposed of by specious explana-
tions and vain promises. The hour
of Ireland's deliverance, we hope, is
drawing near; her unfaltering, legiti-
mate ambition-deemed a virtue in
every other land-awakens our deep
est sympathy and merits assistance,
when noble attempt is made at
complete redress among nations.
President Wilson has solemnly de.
clared that the Powers must be pre-
pared to make sacrifices in the in
terest Of justice.
No lover Of justice and fair play
will be satisfied, If Ireland is denied
a hearing at the conference. Her
case is simple and clear and should
be adjudicated now.
Americas influence will surely be
exerted, as earnestly, as sincerely
and persistently in behalf of Ireland
as of any other smaller nation.
Ireland's cause is as important as
any; she demands relief from an evil
of long standing. Only heartless stu.
pidity can contemplate continu-
ance of it.

| Bishop of indianapolis

There are twenty three other
hours in the day bu, there is no
hour so potent as this Z p. IN.
Why? This is the answer. A mans
waking hours dre divided between
industry and leisure. To a majority
of makind in the evening marks
the end OF work and the beginning
of leisure. 1t Is the hour when =
man. makes the choice OF the kind Of
leisure he is to have. If he turns to
the leisure that means improvement
10 his mind, his body and his soul,
he wins; II he turns to the pleasure
of feeding frivolities, he loses. II is
a coldblooded proposition but II Is
true. Genius is so per cent hard
work, and the best OF leisure is the
shift from one kind of hard work
TO another kind of work. Ninety
nine out of every hundred men who
win in this world use the time when
they are not at work in activities
which look like work to the loafer.
