Church of st. John the Evangelist,

and Rev Patrick O'Brien subdeacon
Right Rev. John T. McNicholas, at
tended by Monsignor Lynch and
Father Gamache as deacons of honor,
was in the sanctuary. A goodly num-
Der of priests were present. Father
Donoghue's only relative in this coun-
try, his sister, Sister Mary Bernadette,
Presentation Convent, Waukon, Iowa,

and attended his funeral. The church
was thronged with the Sisters of St.
Benedict, the orphans, and the people
of Woodland. Many also from Du.
luth attended the funeral.
Thomas Donoghue was born in Gal.

at Galbally, and his philosophical and
theological studies at St. Patrick S
College, Thurles, where he was or

T!STlCS SHOW. =.

Twenty per cent of the families in
America are undernourished- The
Bureau of Labor statistics of the
United States Department of Labor,
after thorough-going Investigations
extending throughout the entire coun-
try, officially places the estimate at
this figure.
Nowhere, declares the Department
of Labor, did Investigators find evi-
dence of extravaganza. The state
ment is fiat rebuttal of the charge
that the high cost of living is due to
extravaganza. The average family
of five persons in thirty cities was
found to spend only about SIT a year
on moving pictures, theaters, eXcur
sions and vacations.
In discussing clothing purchases
the Labor Department report says:
During the past two years cloth
ing purchases have been cut drasti
cally. A careful study Of the clothins
budgets of GAL families having chill
dren under fifteen years of age ane
living in northern cities shows ar
average yearly expenditure of $685.;
for the clothing of the husband ant
$55.75 for the wife. In southern cities
the average for 207 families similarl.

GENERAL LEONARD WOOD
WHITE HOUSE POSSIBILITY IN
SPEcTS cRETIN r. o. T. c. UNIT
-PRAISED EFFICIENCY.

General Leonard Wood, candidate
for the G. o. P. nomination for Presi-
dent, inspected the R. o. T. c. Unit
of Cretin High School, this city, en-
Wednesday of last week. He expressed
himself highly pleased with the eff
cient methods used in the training of
the Unit. After the inspection he
addressed the Regiment and the par
ents and friends of the cadets as fol-
lows:
1--WE do not want a military caste in
this country. We do not want a mill
tary autocracy any more than we want
a labor autocracy, or any other cla"s
distinction.
1--WE want to build up American cit
izenship, in this land, where oppor-
tunity awaits every man. We cannot
have well-rounded citizenship unless
those who receive these opportunities
assume also the responsibilities of
that citizenship. -f
There is no doubt that if America
had been, ready we would not have
had the recent war, and these thou
sands of dead might have been saved.
Let us never again send men to camps,
waiting with wooden guns, while we
make something for them to fight
with.
This is not question of m.litar-
ism. We don't have to make soldiers.
We need only to make citizens, and
there can be no militarist class. The
regular army officers want no military
caste and are ready to oppose it with
| their bodies if need be. .....
This training for national service
should not be one of military train
| ing alone. If we are to prepare good
citizens we must include in it a pro-
gram increasing opportunities for vo-
cational training. In such training as
this lies the greatest safegardAgainst
| the forces of disorder and discomfort.
I'VE are anxious that there shall
| never be another war We must have
young men training for civic duties
trained for commerce, trained if need
be for military service. Such is the
best guarantee of peace"
Turning to the Cretin regiment be
fore him, he said:
IF in 1914 the entire young manhood
of the United States had been given
the same training you have received
there would have been no war. The
. American dead in France are as much
the result of our lack of preparedness
Ias,of Germany,s world ambition.

against that of the learned of the GEN.
turtles and the infallible Catholic
Church. Even the so-styled educated
lack sufficient knowledge either to de-
fend Or condemn divine truths. The
literal realization of the Messianic
prophesies by Christ Jesus, the dura-
bility and spread of Christianity found
ed by Christ, born among a despised
people, educated in the poor carpenter
shop of the obscure village of Naza-
reth, the admirable unity, the vigorous
life, old but ever young, of the Church
and its success in conversions, amidst
all imaginable obstacles from within
and without, demand more than super
fetal knowledge for calculation and
comprehension. The height of absurd
ity is it for individuals to dogmatize
on subjects concerning which they
possess downright ignorance. Common
sense would laugh to scorn men. who
would dare discuss the sciences of as
tronomy, botany or geology without
sufficient right to argue and render
final decisions on religion, the most
difficult and important of all subjects.
The ApostoIate of Catholic Laity.
Having acquired good knowledge
of Catholic doctrine, which is of vital
Importance, the Catholic Laity should
consider it duty and a pleasure to
teach the same in all it's purity and
grandeur to other fellow creatures
eagerly seeking the truth in this age
of ours, so depressed with religious
fads and increasing social troubles.
The Catholic Church is verify the only
institution on earth, which possesses
the proper remedy for modern evils,
and Catholics should therefore, be-
come the blessed benefactors of So
ciety in knowing and spreading her
principles for the solution of existing
problems. Catholic views will pro-
mote the spiritual welfare and indi-
rectly the temporal welfare of society,
state and nation. Catholic truth be-
ing the Interchangeable truth of God, is
a powerful factor for the betterment
of morals and public opinion. Over
come, however, by moral cowardice
and human respect, worldly, weak
kneed, poorly instructed Catholics
hesitate shamefully to openly profess
Christ Jesus and His sublime doctrine.
The popular spirit of the day enslaves
their souls.

A MODEL" SCHOOLMAN
OREGON EDUCATOR OPPOSES
CATHOLIC TEACHERS.

A petition, asking the resignation
from the Portland, Oregon, school
board of Director George B. Thomas,
was presented last week to the board.
Several weeks ago he aroused the in
dignation Of Catholics by voicing his
objection to the employment in the
city schools of Mrs. Shaw, student
of Holy Name Normal School, on the
grounds that she is a Catholic. The
petition brought forth the declaration
from Thomas that he is not ashamed
of having voted against a Catholic
teacher, that he will do so in the flu
ture should the matter come up, and
that the long suit of the Catholic
Church is lying. The board took nc
action on the petition.

ings has never been found.
Constant opposition to Christ and
His doctrine may scandalize weak
minds in their forgetfulness, that, de-
spite all the possible ingenuity of cum
ming directors for over nineteen cen
turtles, Christianity has never failed
to present it's title-deed of veracity
and of the solidity of it's claims While
mortals yield to their natural inclina-
lions and cherish depraved passions,
Christ's holy doctrine will be perpet-
ual object of contradictions and deri-
sion, for Christianity is the religion
of moral restraint, the religion of the
Cross. Christianity certainly could
not have endured in the world amidst
the fiercest onslaughtS of individuals,
secret organizations, heresies, schisms,
and nations during the long line of
centuries, should it have been based
on the shifting sands of error or on a
human foundation. To imagine that
Christianity, or rather the Catholic
Church. of which Christ is the corner
stone, could be annihilated, is a vain
illusion which a little history is suffi-
cient to dissipate.
