didate simply because of his relig-
ion: both types are at variance
with American traditions and
principles.
Attorney General Hilton of this
state, who has staunchly defended
our laws and traditions, we'll de-
clares that a true American
should be "unalterably opposed to
socialism as taught and believed
in by it's leaders, whether calling
themselves socialists or camou-
tagged under some other designa-
ton. The safety Of this country
is dependent upon the preserva-
ton of the sanctity of the home,
the constitutional rights of the
Church and purity in politics.
That is true Americanism, and
any man who will stand by those
principles is entitled to the honors
Of the State and the respect of all
decent citizens.

found it impossible to reconcile
their philosophy with any form of
dogmatic religion. That is still
the fundamental fact of the situa-
ton. Until the Socialist party re-
jects it's underlying philosophy of
materialism, the great majority of
it's active members will remain
hostile to the Church, and will
display that hostility insofar as
they think it expedient. The
statement on the floor of the re-
cent convention by Solomon and
Claessens and one or two others,
indicate that the falsity of the So
cialist declaration that the Church
is the tool Of capitalism, is begin
ming to penetrate the minds of
some of the members. AS yet,
however, these seem to be a small
minority, and they will probably
continue to be a small minority
until the whole philosophical basis
of Socialism is rejected by the Or
ganization.
So far as the Catholic Church is
concerned, the assertion that
capitalism owns the churches and
regulates the souls of church
members, is obviously and ridicul-
ously untrue. 1t would be impos-
sible to find even a single parish
in the most wealthy section of
any city Of which this assertion
could be truthfully made. The
pamphlet on "Social Reconstruct
ton" by the four American
Bishops or the paragraphs on
Industrial Relations' in the Pas
toral Letter of the American
Hierarchy, are sufficient and con-
vincing refutation Of the detest-
able accusation. This is for
America. AS regards the world
at large, we need only to cite the
Encyclicals of the last three
Popes, and particularly the state
ment of Pope Leo XIII: "a small
number of very rich men have
been able to lay upon the teeming
masses of the laboring poor a
yoke little better than that of
slaVerv.'

AMERICAN SOCIALISTS AND
RELIGION.

One Of the planks brought by
the platform committee into the
National Convention Of the So
cialist party held in New York,
May II, declared that the capt.
talists own ther peoples jobs,
homes, food, press, government
and laws; Town their churches,
and regulate their souls.'
The last sentence of the declara-
ton aroused vigorous debate on
the floor of the convention. APP
parently the great majority of
those who spoke on the subject
were opposed to the statement,
but not all the opponents were
moved by the same reasons.
About half of them criticised it on
the ground that it was mex
pedient, while the others asserted
that it was not true. Among the
latter were Solomon and Claes-
sens, two Of the recently expelled
members of the New York Assem-
bly,. The outcome of the discus
sion was a rejection of the dec
laration concerning the churches
by large majority.
From the newspaper accounts
Of the incident, it is impossible to
determine how far the rejection
was caused by motives of ex-
pediency, and how far by sincere
belief that the declaration is I'm.

past conventions of the Socialist

tics. If we assume that the
majority of the recent convention
accepted the obnoxious statement
as correct, merely condemning il

CHARITIES CONFERENCE
MANY DELEGATES EXPECTED IN
NATIONAL CAPITAL-VINCEN
TIANS TO MEET SAME WEEK.

Elaborate preparations are being
made at the Catholic University to
accommodate the large number of
delegates who will attend the sixth
biennial meeting of the National Con.
ference of Catholic Charities to be
held September 1916. The University
has decided to place all it's buildings
at the disposal Of the delegates dur.
ing the Conference. 1t is prepared to
supply them with board and room at
cost.
Nearly every diocese in the United
States will be represented at the Ma
tional Conference, and several of the
larger dioceses will be represented by
hundreds of delegates.
Almost every phase of Catholic
charity will be discussed at the Sept.
ember Conference. The problems
which will have special attention are
the organization of diocesan charities
care of Catholics in public institutions
the work of the st. Vincent de Paul
Society, the social and charitable work
of the Catholic Big Brother and
Big Sister, organizations.
The Superior Council of the St. Vim
cent de Paul Society in the Uniteu
States will hold it's annual meeting
during the sessions of the Conference
Two afternoons and one evening will
be set aside exclusively for Vincen
tlan work. The members of the St

dealing with relief, child welfare, and
delinquency.

ence the Catholic chaplains of the
various penal and correctional insti
tutions throughout the United States
will come together for the first time

so sick of hearing about marriages

thinks more of her home than of

FOREIGN SERVICE SCHOOL
TWENTY-ONE OF ITS STUDENTS
SAIL FOR SOUTH AMERICA
SCHOOL is SUCCESS.

Twenty-one students of the School
of Foreign Service of Georgetown Uni
versity are on their way to Venezuela
and other countries of South America
to study at first hand and under prac-
tical conditions the needs and pros
poets of Latin-American trade. Ten
of them have been placed in the
school by the Knights of Columbus.
1t is expected that an equal number
of South American students will come
to the United States, probably next
autumn, under the plan of exchange
arranged by Georgetown University.
This School of Foreign Service is
the first of the kind to be opened in
this country. It is designed to pre-
pare men for careers in the American
consular establishment, or as repre-
sentatives of private enterprises in
foreign commercial service. The
school accommodates 800 pupils,
though 1000 have applied for admis'
sion. 1t will shortly be enlarged.

upon Bella Kun, the former Com
munist dictator of Hungary, by
the people of that unhappy coun-

of this violent revolutionist has
come into popular use as an ap-
probrious epithet. A citizen of
Budapest instituted a libel action

Every priest is more or less an
noyed by certain class of chronic
grumblers who are never satisfied
with anything he may undertake
for the good of the people of his
parish, says the Catholic Column
bian. He may combine lofty elo-
quence and far-seeing wisdom
with utiring zeal; still, there are
those among his parishioners who
will be dissatisfied. If he allows
a debt on his church to accumulate
they say that he is not sufficiently
energetic. If, on the contrary, he
puts forth appeals for financial
aid, in order that there shall be no
debt, they charge that he is con-
tinually begging. The grumbling
is particularly directed against
the special collections which many
pastors are, from time to time
obliged to institute. In fact, they
object to every form of collection.
They claim that they do not want
to buy their religion. Their claim
is, undoubtedly logical, for the
reason that the use to which they
put religion would not justify a
large outlay.

PICKING WINNERS.

One OF the cnleI attractions
about any race is the thrill that
comes with the selection of the
winner. Each entrant is fired with
a confidence of enthusiasm that re-
fuses to brook successful opposi-
tion-until the race is run. Then
the crown of victory encircles the
brow of him who has led his mates
to the last wire.
An American presidential or
lesser campaign has all the thrills
of a race-that is, it has to every
d-blooded American who takes
an interest in the welfare and
progress of his country. The civil
anemics show their feeling usually
by picking flaws in the representa-
tives of government who have
been elected-representatives for
whom said anemics have enter
tanned neither favor or disfavor !:
for the blood Of an anemic Amer
lean ever runs thin.
At the present time more than
ever before in our history it be-
hooves every citizen to take an ac-
tive part in the various state and
national programs that are being
staged for the edification of the
world and the preservation and
safety Of our own beloved repub-
lie. Without the shadow of a
