Chicago Sept. S.-Support OF Gov
ernor Cox's charges that 100000 had

Mcclure said c. f. Taylor, paid
worker for the Republican national
treasurer, brought a letter from Fred
Upham stating an attempt was to be

r. Montgomery, Sept. 8.-F'our coal min

state convicts in their coal mines, were
notified by order of Governor Kilby
today they will not be allowed to ex-

a general strike call was issued last
dres day--~--=-g-
IN its telegram the commission
stated it was endeavoring to collect all

miners.
Informal conferences with leaders on
both sides marked the work of the
commission today.
J. r. Kennamer, president of the

Workers said 1900 men had obeyed
the strike call. He said 81 mines had
signed the "blue book contract and
that 5000 men working in these mines
would not be affected. He estimated
the total number of men employed in
the Alabama field at 27000.
At the headquarters of the coal oper-
ators association said the walk out
had not seriously hampered production.
Reports were that between 1000 and
1900 men had quit work and that this
number would probably be augmented
to $500 before the end of the day.
The strike has not had any apparent
effect upon local industries. Guards
have been posted at most of the mines

ligion; hers not a mere worldly
obsequiousness: She was the
Mother of God. So long as man
remembers his God, just so long
is he destined to worship, to rev.
erence the Mother Of that God.
From age to age the kingdom Of
God has been widening out; from
age to age the veneration Of Mary
has kept pace with the growth Of
the kingdom.
The Church has multiplied fes-
rivals to honor that little Maid.
And even tomorrow the whole
world will unite in calling. her
blessed, for on that day she was
lifted up to heaven, not as st.
Paul to glimpse the eternal
glories, but there to be crowned
as heavens own Queen.
What a transformation from
the little cottage in Judea to the
realm of heaven! Yes, all gener-
atoms shall call her blessed: yea,
all eternity shall increasingly
sing her praise, her glory, her
beauty, and splendor.

BAN|SHED FROM CHURCH
DIVORCEE BARRED FROM At
TENDING CHURCH SERVICE
IN EAST.

Father w. w. Whalen, the noted
writer, taught a severe lesson to one
of his former parishioners last Sun
day in Orrtanna, Pa. This eX-member
of his congregation saw fit to enter
the divorce sourts, separate from her
husband and marry again. She re-
turned to Buchanan Valley last week,
and Sunday boldly walked into st.
Ignatius' Church. The pastor had
sent word to her that she was de-
barred, but the woman paid no. heed,
and sat in her mothers pew when the
priest prepared to begin Mass. He
saw her and refused to go on with the
service till the Divorce left the edi-
flee. She obeyed.
Father Whalen said the unwritten
law on the door of his church is mo
Divorces Admitted" 'St. Ignatius
is too old to learn modernism" the
priest continued. I'D prove unworthy
to tread in the footsteps of our former
pastors, the Jesuits, if l allowed such
desecration to pause in our holy place.
We've got to fight divorce, tooth and
tongue, and where better to begin than
at the altar? This faded beauty was
baptized here, married before Our
altar, her children baptized at our
font, but she can't be divorced and at
st. Ignatius." 1A1al'+tA

POPE WARNS AGAINST PRES.
EMIT DANGERS.

On the fiftieth anniversary of
the naming Of St. Joseph as
Patron Of the Church Pope Bene-
dict XIV issued a solemn warning
as regards the dangers now threat
ening society.
"War,' said His Holiness, "let
loose a food Of 'naturalism, and
men running madly after the
things Of earth have forgotten
the Christian rules Of life, with
which is bound up the family.'
From this forgetfulness, con-
TIMES the Holy Father, arises the
fact that workmen, otherwise good
and sincere, go over to socialism.
Thus, many men in various coun-
tries, led on by socialistic prom
ises, align themselves with these
sworn enemies of right living.
The Pope exhorts the Bishops to
foster devotion to st. Joseph as a
means of returning to the SIM
pliclty which is proper to those
who follow the Gospel Of Christ.
For, argue as we may, it is abso-
lutely necessary that our profess
sion and protestations of faith and
religion be consonant with our
lives, and vice versa.
This evangelical simplicity
seems to be greatly on the wane
in not a few hearts. The children
of Israel, when brought in con-
tact with the heathens about them,
invariably fell into the ways of
the pagan; they intermarried with
the pagan, took the pagan view
point of life, INDUCED in pleas
ures forbidden by God, and then
paid the penalty in plaques,
pestilence, and the destructive
ness Of war. The children of the
Gospel today are good imitators
Of the children Of Israel. Is it
any wonder that the same pen
alties are melted out for the same
WayWardness?

ALL GENERATIONS.

Well nigh twenty centuries ago
prominent men ruled the Roman
empire. Power was theirs; also
all the accoutrements Of affuence
and unlimited resources. Great
were their names, powerful their
influence, crushing their wrath.
Today only the students of his
tory can recall the existence of
these superb creatures. To the
man in the street, to the laborer,
the peasant, yea, to the average
person in any walk of life these
old Romans are as if they never
had lived.
Down in an eastern province.
in a tiny hamlet Of the despised
Judea, there lived a young girl.
Her parents were poor, her sur
roundings humble, her friends
few. Her prospects in life were
about equal to those of any other
simple maiden from a worldly
viewpoint, And today the world
resounds with her praises. Her
name is as fresh in this twentieth
century as it was in the mouths of
her nearest and closest friends Of
old. Not only Judea, but the
whole Roman empire heard of her
Nations that then existed but in
the womb Of Time have in the
ages come forth, battled them
selves to the heights, and then dis
appeared. Other peoples sprang
up, and so the cycle Of life has re
vealed a vast number with varied
gifts and qualities thronging the
halls Of earth, and all people in all
ages and in every cline have unit
ed on one theme: All generations
shall call blessed that little Maid
down in Judea.
After her holy union with the
worthy Joseph, Mary. brought

dreamed in widest fancy Of such
power, such goodness, such love,
such nobility as that Son revealed.
He surpassed the most valiant
champions Of old in the greatest
gifts that ennobled them. At His
birth kings fastened to do Him
homage; at His death the earth
trembled in fear. His life was SO
different. Possessing limitless
power-He often proved that
over sickness and death-He
scorned to be called king: He
was God. And Mary was His
Mother. She, the little Maid Of
Judea, had become the Mother of
God. .
From that. day men have wor-
shipped that little Maid. Hers

THE IRISH POLICE
400 CATOLICS RESIGN FROM PO-
LICE FORCE IN IRELAND.

(By N. G. w. C. News Service)
designations from the British po-
lice force in Ireland continue. Some
time ago Dr. Cohalan, Bishop of Cork,
when abiding to the murder of the
Lord Mayor of Cork, posted the fol-
lowing moral question:
''Should the Bishops tell the police
that they are not bound in conscience
to perform the many acts of coercion
which are goading the people beyond
restrain; that there can be lawfulness
and unlawfulness in executive govern
ment; and that when the mode of gov
eminent has no sanction in the moral
law it's execution has no sanction in
the moral law"
The Bishops have not yet spoken.
But already over 400 Catholic men,
bers of the force have resigned. APP
parently the police have considered
the question and are answering it for
themselves.
