CATHOLICS IN BAVARIA
RESULTS OF ELECTION SHOW
POSITION AND MENACE OF
SOCIALISM,.

Remarkable are the actual figures
of the elections for the Constituent
Assemblies in the great states of Ba-
varia and Wurtemburg. In the for
mer the Catholic Party, now known
as the 'Bavarian Peoples Party
heads the list, with 100000 odd votes,
and where it can join it's forces with
the other parties of order, swamps
even the Majority Socialists. The eX-
tremists-the independent Social
ists'-poll less than 10000. In Wur-
temburg, largely Protestant State,
the Majority Socialists head the poll
with 100000, but the Catholics poll
273,000 and the corresponding non
Catholic party $4,000. Here again
the parties of order heavily outnum-
Der the Majority Socialists, while
the extremists poll only 10000. The
general result is the same in the main
ly Protestant State of Baden. The
results all bear out the conviction that
the really dangerous enemy of civili-
zation is not Bolshevism. The real
enemy, more insidious because more
orderly, is that combination of Marx
ian Socialism, irreligion and tyranny
which is the one alternative to the
civilization of Christendom.

households, the public realizes
that the Catholic mothers, wives
and sisters in the city, as in all the
cities and towns of the nation, are
not only as patriotic as their
brothers and sons, but are capable
and efficient house-keepers and
home builders. Yes, home build
ers: for although men may build
houses it takes the women who
know and love the household arts,
to build up the spiritual edifice
of home" in the dwelling place
Of the family.
The girl who has mastered the
three RS" and has gone ahead
to master elocution and music,
biology, and business, may bright
en- an office, or adorn a parlor; but
the home is more than the parlor
and stands far, far above the bust
ness office or the cage where
money is counted. Men can count
money, and draw contracts and
build railroads and even teach
schools. But men can not make
homes. They can help, indeed,
and must do so; but to find a
model home you must first find a
woman who knows and loves the
wonderful capabilities of the lit
tie needle, the music of the sew
ing machine, the fragrance Of the
pantry and kitchen as we'll as of
the garden. The woman who stu
dies and loves the household arts
and delveS into their details and
wrests out their secrets as the
botanist studies roots and leaves
and blossoms, or as the litterateur
seeks out with unimaginable la
Dor, but with the eager Joy Of
love, the best words with which
to robe his living, glowing
thought-such a woman becomes
queen OF the dearest and best
place on earth. 1t is to such
queens-Whether mothers. wives
or sisters-that our men Of great
est worth have paid highest trib-
ute. 1t is to them our living, vic
torious soldiers return with rever-
ent love, and for them our mar
tyred heroes, lying beneath the
sod of France, sent their last mes
sages to the living. And these are
the women-women with clear
minds. skillful hands and tender,
p a trio tic loving hearts-that
sewed for our boys in CAMP and
in trench while they kept the home
fires burning and kept up the tea
kettles song.

SIR WILFRID LAURIER.

The news of the death of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, former Premier
of Canada, came as a distinct
shock even in these times when
the world is accustomed to be
startled. For so long had this
wonderful man been identified
with affairs in the Dominion of
Canada that his departure will
leave a noticeable void in public
life.
Born in the Province of Quebec,
Sir Wilfrid held many offices of
trust and, with the years, passed
from one official dignity to an
other. Canada recognized his
worth and looked up to him as
the grand old man Of the Domin-
ion. Being a great leader, his
fame soon overstepped local
boundaries, and other nations
showered upon him both their
esteem and their honors.
When Canada desired to be
fittingly represented at some great
function, she instinctively turned
to Sir Wilfrid as the proper en-
voy. The English Government
created him a Knight of the Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished
Order of st. Michael and st.
George. France presented him
with the Star of a Grand Officer of
the Legion Of Honor. Oxford,
Cambridge, Edinburgh, Toronto
and other universities conferred
upon him an honorary doctorate.
For fifteen years he was Premier
of his native country.
The qualities that stood forth
i'll Sir Wilfrid Laurier seem to
have been his tenacity for right,
his fearlessness in the defense of
justice, and his staunch Cathol-
lefty. He was ever looked upon
as an opponent to be feared not
by reason OF his cunning but on
account Of the boldness and
strength that characterized his
attitude in everything which he
considered right. A man Of bril-
liant attachments, he reached the
heights Of oratory with equal fac
ility i'll both the English and the
French languages.
In the death of this remarkable
man both the Dominion of Canada
and the Catholic Church lose a
stalwart champion, a heroic figure,
man who could stand on the
same level with the greatest lead
ers i'll any nation.

Dodge, Ia, Vicar General of the Sioux
City diocese, has been notified of his
appointment to the honor of Domestic
Prelate of His Holiness, Benedict XIV
This distinction, secured for him by
Right Rev. Bishop Garrigan, is most
worthily bestowed and is deserved
recognition of the priestly qualities
and the long and priestful labors OF
Father Griffin in the diocese. The
many friends of the new Monsignor

upon him.
The date of the investiture has been
fixed for February 26. 1t will take
place in the Church of Corpus Christi

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

The experimenter took three sub
stances for the experiment-food, al
cohol and hot water. After taking
the food he found the heat in the in
terror of the body increased as the
food digested-the organs of the body
became filled with warm blood, and
he found the surface of the body be-
came cold Hot water and hot tea
raised the internal temperature and
external temperature, but when he
took alcohol curious thing occurred.
When he took it, diluted, of course, it
gave him feeling of warmth. 1t was
the first time he had taken any for
of warmth, with the result that he
asked himself whether they had not
been making mistake all these
years, if there was really an increased
temperature within the body? When
the temperature record was devel-
oped, however, it showed that at the
very period he had thought his inside
was being warmed by the alcohol just
the reverse was taking place. The
surface temperature had risen con-
siderably, but the internal tempera-
ture had gone down. Alcohol was a
deceiver. There was no doubt about
it in regard to temperature. The ac-
tual temperature was falling at the
time he thought it was rising This
proved that men taking alcohol before
going into the night air were doing a
very unwise thing, and possibly pre-
pairing themselves to be chilled.

as the Negroes Of the South after
the Civil War. Paternal guidance,
however, and a directing force
tempered with wisdom and kind
ness should soon place these peo-
Piles on plane where they can
see straight and far.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that
the great council now sitting in
Paris will apply the genuine prin-
ciples Of Christian equality and
justice to all nations alike; that
the war shall not have been fought
in vain; that. the titanic struggle
may bring forth liberty and pros
perity to the race as a whole
rather than to few of the domi-
nant powers at the expense of
humanity at large.

THE RELIGION OF HUMANITY
ITS APPLICATION TO THE
CHURCH AND HER LIFE AMONG
MEN.
concluded from last week.

Concluded from last week.
The active and enlightened priests
of Europe are making great efforts to
uplift Society. Sociological confer
ences and Catholic congresses are held
in France, Germany and Italy and So
cial questions are treated at these
meetings. The enlightened priests
busy themselves with reaching the
peasantry, in organizing village saw
ings banks and protective labor cor
porations. You will find the clergy
busy with apprentices who are seek
ing to learn a trade, and organizing So
cieties SO that Catholics of one place
can go to another place and be met
and attended to by fellow members
You will find them also taking into
consideration the alcohol question.
Unbelievers see the newly schooled
priests taking hold of their own
power. Infidels felt that the Church
was scarcely doing its best in these
questions and they were putting forth
the boast: We have legislated for the
workingmen. We have civilized So
ciety and we have done it without re-
Egion or a Church.
1t is true that everywhere Catholics
are simply catching up with the new
movement. 1t is a well-known fact
that in France these movements are
controlled by non-Catholics. The
clergy said to themselves: Why
should we engage in these move
ments? The sacraments make one
good and the sacramento do it all.
But as Christ did, so must we reach
out and win the love and esteem or
men before we can make them par
take of the grace that lies hidden in
the sacraments. There are things in
the world that do not come through
the sacraments. If unbelievers give
men assistance and the Church does
not, they will hold to unbelief.
Protestant social workers have
spread through all Europe. 1.-THE Y.

THE POOR MANS WORST ENEMY.

All of poor mans wealth is in
vested in his children. The poor man
sacrifices his whole life to raise his
children and hopes that when they
grow up they will be a help to him
in his old age. If the rich mans chill
dren go to the bad the rich man still
has money to support him, but when
the poor mans children go to the bad
all his wealth is lost and he is left
in his old age to life of misery. The
saloon is an institution that robs the
poor man of his children and he
ought to be against it even more than
the rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no
saloons can be established, or they
will have laws made to bar out sa-
looms. Some Christian people ease
their conscience by having laws
made to keep the saloons away from
the church doors; but when you drive
the saloons away from the rich mans
home and the doors of the church,
you drive them to the homes of the
poor people-the least able of all to
Withstand their ravages. The poor
man cannot drive the saloon away
from his door with money, like the
rich man, for he has not the money;
but he has vote, and with that vote
he can, and should, drive the saloons
away from his door.

The problem what to do with the
returning soldier is now attracting
the attention of the Government. and
of our leading men and financiers.
The Administration is working out a
plan to locate on desirable farm
homes, such of these soldiers as NAV
by experience and inclination be adapt

Of the Department of the Interior has
charge of the work. ~-
Recently Mr.. Lane sought the aid
of the Catholic Colonization Society.
U. S. A. as to the selection by the
Government of desirable tracts on
which to locate some of these return

are affiliated with the Catholic Church.
1t has been the pleasure of this Soci-
ETY. to render all possible assistance
in this laudable enterprise and
through the Society's efforts, several
desirable projects have been offered
to the Government, and are now be-
ing investigated

by the war.

CHINESE IN CANAL ZONE GREAT
LY EDiFY MISSIONER.

Every Chinese in the settlement of
the Canal Zone, where the Rev. George
Caruana is chaplain, received Holy
Communion on Christmas morning at
the Mass, which was celebrated in the
open. Electric lights were strung
about the place, while the players in
the regimental band took their posi-
ton on the Gospel side and the choir
occupied the Epistle side
American soldiers located there
formed a circle about the altar. The
Colored population attended the Mass
also, as did many of the Porto Ricans.
The piety and devotion of the Chinese
was very marked and Father Caruana
rejoiced at the outcome of his work.

A DISTINGUISHED EXILE,

Often are we astonished in
reading Church history to learn of
the humilitating conditions to
which many great prelates have
been condemned by the enemies
of our religion. The early ages
Of the Church witnessed the exile
of Popes and Bishops. The great
Athanasius, fleeing from city to
city, finds his modern counterpart
III an illustrious prelate Of the
Mexican Hierarchy, the Most Rev
erend Francisco Orozco y Jimenez,
Archbishop of Guadalajara, Mex
leo.
Born in Mexico i'll 1864, the dis
tinguished prelate was made a
Bishop at the early age of thirty
eight years, and an Archbishop
ten years later. He is considered
one of the most brilliant and
highly. educated prelates in the
Catholic Church today. Driven
by the robber government of
Mexico from his famous See, to-
day he is an exile from his diocese
and country, and while awaiting
an opportunity to return to Mex
leo, he is living a retired life as
the guest of the President of the
Catholic Church Extension Society
Of Chicago.
The distinguished Archbishop
has just written his Memoir, which
has been translated into English.
1T reads much like the annals Of
Pope Marcellus bounded by the
pagan Romans, or of Pope Clement

ing his authority as a prelate and
his brilliancy as man, the miser-
able 1Carranza brigands deter

native country. After heaping
every kind Of contumely upon
Archbishop Orozco, the so-called
government captured this prelate
and hurried him off in cattle

thing i'll their power to make the
Archbishop relinquish his rights,
even threatening death. His
answer is typical: Sir, I have
many times said MOI Do with
me what you will" Perjured

American Catholic life, as is manifest
from an announcement, made a few
days ago at st. Louis University, that
eight or ten more Jesuits of the Mis-
