"We are sorry that we in this couu-

they will take away with them some

they have inspired during their So

LEGION OPPOSES BONUS.
Marion County Boys Says People
Have Burdens Enough.

OCALA, Oct 1O-(Special)-Ma-
rion County Post No. l of the AM
erican Legion, held largely attended
meeting Thursday night. This was
the regular monthly meeting of the
legion and at this meeting this post
went en- record as opposed to a cash
bonus as a gift for the men who
were in service during the world war.
The post took the position that moth
ing should be done to add to the al
ready heavy debt of the country and
that nothing should be done to take
anything away from the fact that the
men went into service for reasons of
patriotism and because they were
100 per cent. Americans.

is REQUESTED.

Palatka is to have an Armistice
Day celebration after all. There
will be no regularly organized street
parade, but under the proclamation
issued by the Governor and the May
or holiday will be declared and there
is little doubt but that hundreds of
people will display the same spirit
that was displayed last November
11th.
Everybody will be at liberty to
make all the noise possible. Whistles
will blow early in the morning and it
is limited that some enterprising
young Americans have rugged up some
explosives to set off.
The feature of the day will be the
entertainment of the returned service
MEN at the Womans' Club at o'clock,
after which all will repair to the Elks
Club where dancing will be indulged
in until midnight when lunch will be
served.
The committee having the arrange

assistance from the housewife OF
the city. 1t will take lots of pro-
vender to appeas the appetites of the
big huskies who went to France OF

good things. A telephone message
to IS will be greatly appreciated if
it comes from some one with dona-

ties.
The program at the Woman's Club
Will be purely informal, but it is ex-
pected that some speeches may be

and more in the nature of a formal
welcome than anything else.

THE IRISH STANDARD

full, since everyone is satified with
his own possessions, whence we see
that quarrels are sometimes between
those who jointly own a thing as a
whole. The other power which man
has over external things is the using
of them; and as to this man must not
hold external things as his own prop
erty, but as everyone's; so as to make
no difficulty, I mean, in sharing when
others are in need" (Summa Theo-
logica)
These words, written in the thir-
teenth century, show that the pro
posed wholesale confscation by So
cialists is absolutely incompatible
with Christianity, even apart from the
other moral phases connected with
the Socialistic movement.
Much wealth has been gained, par
ticularly in our times, by the sinful
exploitation of the working classes.
But that it has all been obtained this
way is an untenable argument. If
private property rightly obtained is
confiscated, the owner must be given
remuneration for it. This principle,
of course, admits of some mOdifica-
ton. The Catholic Church does not
officially oppose prohibition, even if
state in going dry does not re-
munerate the liquor men that are
thrown out of business. Neither did
it officially condemn the United
States when, in a time of war, Lin
coin set the slaves free without re-
munerating the shareholders. But
Christians would be false to every
principle of honesty if they upheld
the wholesale and complete confisca-
tion that would come about with So
cialism. If the state wants our great
industries, it should pay for them
The state has no more right to rob
than an individual.

"Now Shakespeare had an ideal
when he wrote Hamlet" she said,
"and just like Shakespeare with the
play everybody ought to have an ideal

In the front seat was Tommy,-or
perhaps it was Willie Jones. The
teacher noticed that his eyes were
wide, his mouth open and his whole
expression rapt. She thought surely
he was drinking in her every word.
So she said to him: "Now, suppose
you tell us what your ideal is?"
The lad extracted himself from be-
hind his desk and labored to his feet

"She left school last year."
One day, according to the Fittsburg

Mrs. Jones and said:
IF your boy belonged to me l
wouldn't stand so much of his non

But" said the mother, "you can't

"No," said her friend, "but you
can turn him over"

WHAT is SOCIALISM

tions, the Catholic Church was op-
posed in her education and other
work in Mexico. The anarchy that
exists today is partly the result of
this. The land laws are only partially
to blame.
That the social system can be re-
formed overnight and earth turned
into little heaven, is something that
no sane man can hold. Every bit of
liberty we have is the result of years
of suffering. But men who care for
the salvation of their souls don't for
get to do their share towards help
ing their fellows.
The teaching of the Catholic Church
in regard to labor was briefly and
splendidly summed up by the famous
Leo XIII, in his encyclical, "rerum
Novarum," when he said:
"Let it be taken for granted that
workman and employer should, as
rule, make free agreements, and in
particular should agreed as to wages;
nevertheless, there is dictate of nat
ural justice more imperious and an
cient than any bargain between man
and man, that remuneration should
be sufficient to maintain the wage
Garner in reasonable and frugal COM
fort. If through necessity or fear of
a worse evil the workman accepts
harder conditions because an employ
er or contractor will afford him no
better, he is made the victim of force
and injustice"
In other words, the Catholic Church
insists as matter of conscience that
employers pay their employees living
wages.

evils, declared Leo XIII in this same
in the combined action of the Church,
the state, the employer and the en-
ployed The Church is properly in
terested because of the religious and
moral aspects of the question; the
state has the right and duty to inter-
vere or behalf Of justice and indi-
vidual and social well-being; and en-
ployers and employees should organize
into both mixed and separate associa-
tiOns for mutual protection and for
self protection.
Is Private Property Holding Lawful? !?
The Christian doctrine about hold
ing property is set forth in these
words of St. Thomas Aquinas: "In
regard to an external thing, man has
two powers; one is the power of man
aging and controlling it, and, as to
this it is lawful for man to possess
private property. It is, moreover
necessary to human life for three rea
sons: First, because everyone is more
Jealous in looking after thing thai
belongs to him than a thing that
is the common property of all or Of
many; because each person, trying tc
escape labor, leaves to another what
is everybody's business, as happens
when there are many servants; sec
ondly, because there is more order II
