The Governor of Rhode Island, Mr..

SPIRITUAL RECONSTRUCTION.

Ash Wednesday, February 18, will
mark the beginning Of Lent. In the
grey dawn Of that day, with the dis
tribution of ashes on the heads Of
the people and the solemn reminder
Remember, man, that thou art dust
and unto dust thou shalt return" the
holy Lenten season will open. It is
the specific time of penance for man
and Of mercy from God. For many
perhaps for some reading these few
lines, It will be the last opportunity
to prepare the way Of the Lord and
make straight His paths" For many
It will be the last chance offered to
accept the mercy of God.
A cry of reconstruction has echoed
and re-echoed from every city, town
and hamlet for over q year-a recon-
struction along material, economic and
political lines, to be brought about
by laws striking at the very funda-
mentals of mans God-given liberty to
make moderate use Of wholesome food
and drink. Let all remember that
there Is need Of . spiritual recon
struction to be brought about In the
time set aside for 1t, viz: Lent. Until
the hearts and minds Of men are COM
pletely moulded in the spirit Of Christ
and directed by His teachings, there

DULUTH LADIES' AUXILIARY.

DULUTH LADIES' AUXILIARY.
Duluth, Feb. 14.-The Ladies' Aux
iliary to A. o. H., Division No. 1, held
an enthusiastic business meeting at
Cathedral Hall on Tuesday evening,
Feb. 10th. Under the head "Good Of
the Order" Mrs. Sarah A. Murphy,
retiring County President, was pre-
sented with a handsome bar pin set
with brilliants.
Mrs. Mary Gallagher, a former
president of the Division, presented
the pin, and in a neat little speech
paid tribute to Mrs. Murphy both as
County President, and as a member
Of Division No. 1, who had done splen-
did work for the society. Mrs. Muir.
ply responded very gracefully, thank.
ing the members for the beautiful pin,
for their kind words, and for the un-
divided support they had always given
her In her work for the Division.
Following the business meeting, a
very pleasant social hour was spent
in games, music and dancing. A dain-
ty lunch was served. Rev. Father
Powers, chaplain of the Division, hon
ored the occasion with his presence,
and regretted that he had not been
able to be present at the meeting to
add a few words to the tribute al
ready paid and which Mrs. Murphy
had so we'll deserved for her wonder
full work for the organization.

1t is curious to read the London
papers here in Berlin, and principally
their telegrams and leading articles
about Germany, says G. A. Lambert in
the Dublin Irish Independent.
From them you would imagine that
there are only two political extremes
in this country-the Monarchists or
Militarists and the Independents or
Bolshevists. According to the taste
or prejudice of the leader writer or
correspondent the one or the other
extreme is represented as the immi-
nent peril to the safety of European
civilization.
Each of these extremes represents
only small minorities on the outer
fringe of German public opinion.
Middle Parties.
The middle parties comprise pretty
we'll two-thirds of the voting strength
of the nation. OF these the sanest
and strongest is the so.called Centrum
or Catholic Centre Party.
The Catholic Centre has always
been, is now, and in the future will be
more than ever, the decisive voice In
German affairs. Germany at this mo-
ment is governed by coalition of
parties-the Majority Socialists, the
Centre and the Radicals. The opposi-
tion, which is In great minority in
the National Assembly, consists of the
small Monarchist right and the hand
full of minority Socialists who have
now gone over to the Soviet idea.
When German politicians argue that
the present Coalition Government is
the only possible Government for Ger
many, what they mean, principally, is
that the Monarchist ideal is obviously
out of the question and that the Soviet
is a phantasy which even its adher-
ents will shrink from the responsible
ity of carrying into practice.
Social Democrats.
The Social Democrats have commit.
ted themselves, too, to what the Inde-
pendents call the counter-revolution-
that is to say, the repression by State
force of any proletarian attempt to
seize the reins Of government. BY the
nature of the case they have been
compelled to seek the alliance of the
Centre, a party numerically as great
as their own, and they have found
the less difficulty in effecting that al
lance, as the Centre is just as much
a democratic party and stands Just as
sincerely for social amelioration as
they do themselves.
The Democratic Party is the party
Of the business men, the manufactur-
ers and f1nanciers. It possesses a gen.
uine old-fashioned kind of Liberalism.

, But In matters of social or economic
reform it is hopelessly whiggish and
out of date, and stands for strict and
dogmatic individualism of the kind
that Dickens has immortalized In
"Gradgrind." The Democrats and the
Majority Socialists are doctrinarily at
opposite poles. If, in fact, they are
In the Coalition and work together in
common Government the miracle Is
only to be explained through the Cen
tre Party which from its broadmind-
edness and lack Of doctrinaire fantas-
les can reconcile and find middle
party for capitalists and workmen, for
Whig and Socialist alike. At present
both the Democrats and Majority So
cialists are losing ground daily in the
constituencies. Each of them real
ICES, as consequence, more and more
their dependence upon the Centre.
The One Steady Factor.
AS for the Centre, it remains the
one steady, unshakable factor that it
has always been.
In the course of the last twelve
months great work of reconstruc-
tion has been done. Germany has
been made centralized Republic of
the freest possible type, in which men
and women have absolute equality and
the fundamental principles of democ-
racy are constitutionally embodied.
This new German constitutional
many ways model for other coun-
tries-is the work of the Centre party.
With characteristic observation-disclosures
the Centre party lent its powerful bat
talions to the establishment in Ger
many of the factory council system
In which the worker is made a CO.
operator with his employer and not
his slave. At the same time, the
Centre protected the traditional rights
of property and private ownership.
But the most wonderful work of the
Centre has been its program of social
and economic reform.
Erzberqer's Power.
No other party than the Centre,
and no other politician than Erzber-
ger, the Centre statesman, could have
negotiated the armistice and emerged
scathless, or could have thought out
or undertaken the work of construc-
tion that has been started. AS q young
man, Erzberger was school teacher
"a status somewhat resembling that
of Mr.. Lloyd Georges country solicit
torship. 1t is the war, too, that has
brought him to the front. In 1916 he
saw clearly that victory was impos-
sible, and that the weak point in Ger
many's armour was Austria. His path
was thenceforth clear. It was to
make himself leader of the new Ger
many. Germany's first Reichstag elec.
tions take place in April. They will
determine Germany's future. In these
elections the Centre, as always, will
play the determining role.

Establishments will do the same as fast
as they receive orders warranting re-

completed copies of it are being printed
and a general announcement of the
standard Will be made this morning, the
same official said.
William Bandler. president of the as
ISOLATION, denied that efforts had been
made toward Intervention by med iators
of the State Industrial Commission or
other officials or interested individuals.
Sidney Hillman, president of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers of America
was equally insistent that his organlza-
ton was not seeking interference. The
visit of two state mediators to the
union offices was to obtain documents
bearing on the war for the open shop,"
which the officials had written for from
Albany, 1t was explained.
The defensive action of the Amalga-
mated against the piece work system
waits upon the result of a conference OF
the Amalgamated executives from all
the clothing centres of the United States
and Canada. This was to have taken
place last Sunday, but was postponed
to permit the leaders from distant
points to arrive, and the date now set
Is Saturday Until then the union will
be content with the usual plcketing
which the officials declared so far has
been highly successful. Pickets were
placed before two more shops yesterday
making total of eighteen being watched
by union members. No arrests or dis
turbances We're reported. Abraham
Shiplacoff manager of the New York
Joint Board of the Analgamated, issued
the following:
What the manufacturers are actually
doing proves plainly that their state

They have put their lockout quietly in

separate shops while publicly asserting
they have no work. They keep APP

can come back to work IL they will give
