One reason why meats are

Authentic statistics inform us
that IS per cent of our people
must be classed as poor, and that
they become objects of charity
through prolonged illness or
other adverse causes; Is per cent
are only fairly comfortable; Is
per cent are entirely comfortable
and two per cent Of our people
hold three ifths Of the country's
wealth. In the light Of the find
ings of many investigating com
mittees, says a writer, it is time
that the world ponder over and
accept the principles laid down by
Christianity and widely promul-
gated through the immortal en-
cyclicals of the illustrious Pope
Leo XIII. The foundations of a
just industrial order are only laid
in bed rock when sound moral
principles dictate the course Of the
world.

A CHURCH COLLAPSE.

The country was startled some
time ago to learn that thirty-two
evangelical denominations had set
themselves the task Of raising over
one billion and three hundred and
twenty million dollars for the
purpose Of outstanding the
pagan world. The needs at home
also were to be considered, to
some extent, while the "pagans'
were chiefly Catholics among our
immigrants, as we'll as the Cath
Ollie "pagans in South America.
1t seems that the Presbyterians
and the Northern Baptists were
good Pretestants, and they at
once began to protest, with the
result that a recent report tells
of the utter collapse of the whole
inter church move. Just what is
back Of this buckling Of the struc-
ture is not quite plain, although
the statement is made that
friendly strangers" who were
to show their Friendship" to the
tune Of forty millions, reneged,
and then proceeded to indicate
that they were more strangers
than friendly. Eight million dol
lars was spent in preliminary
organization, and but three mil
lion dollars appeared to meet the
bills.
Still, this sudden upset should
not dishearten the evangelicals,
for they are used to collapses
They long ago collapsed in mat.
tiers Of doctrine; they collapsed
on the subject Of central author
ity; they collapsed in the matter
of divorce, and they have beer
falling down in utter collapse fol
some years as regards church
attendance. So, what s one more

What they need is pilot to direct
them with certain and infallible
authority. Without a supreme
pontiff of some kind, one who en-
joys the plenitude of power ano
doctrine, they may expect to g

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION
TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION TO
MEET IN WASHINGTON.

Two big events set for the week of
September 1925 are expected to at
tract many more than the ordinary
number of delegates to the annual
convention of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union in Washington, D. c.,
on September Fl. The foundation
stone of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception will be laid
on the twenty-third.
Concurrently with the convention of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
there will be meeting, September
81, of the international Anti-Alcohol
Congress. This is to be the first ses-
sion of the Congress since 1913, when
it met in Milan. The Congress is
composed of delegates appointed by
the various governments and of rep.
resentatives of temperance organiza.
tions.

including the present Premier of Hol
land, Dr. Beerenbrouck, president OF
the Federation of Catholic Anti-Alco
hol Leagues, are members of the Con
gross.

WHITTIER THIS YEAR.

It is not unreasonable at this
time to inquire again Of Catholic
parents, Where are the children
going to school next year. Dur
ing the past year there was a
great forward movement towards
the Catholic schools and colleges.
All these institutions reported an
unprecedented registration; sign
that parents are gradually awak-
ening to the fact that their duty
lies in but one direction, and that
is towards the schools of their
faith.
Today there are few parents
who dare adduce the thread-worn
argument that Catholic schools
are so inferior, you know. Did
they teach merely religion alone
they would be Of priceless value /;
but their usefulness even in the
intellectual field is beyond COM
pare. Were any further evidence
needed to clinch the many other
strong proofs in our favor, surely
has the record of, the past year
placed the question in the most
favorable light.
In these twelve months numer-
Gus contests of many kinds have
been thrown open to pupils Of all
schools and grades. In almost
every case where Catholic school
pupils have not carried off first
honors they have been a close
second. In every case without
exception they made a most cred.
liable showing. From New York
to Seattle and from Sioux Falls
to New Orleans our pupils have
taken first prizes in the majority
Of contests. Whether the subject
ASST gned concerned military train
ing, Good Roads movements, bono
campaigns, historical personages
spelling contests, or any other Of
a variety of topics, we have seer

schools winners. Not infrequently
when as many as five or six
trophies were offered, our pupils
won all or nearly all the prizes

TWO HUNDRED NUNS
CHINA TO BE FIELD OF NEW
CATHOLIC MISSION.

Responding to the call of the Right
Rev. Joseph N. Tacconi, Bishop and
Vicar-Apostolic of the Honan Province
in China, two hundred Sisters of Prov
idence of st. Mary's of the Woods in
Indiana are preparing to plant the
standards of Catholic education among
the higher-caste children of China.
The two hundred sisters will work
under the direction of the Rev. Fran
els Clougherty of Pittsburgh, who has
been commissioned by Bishop Tacconi
to establish American Catholic high
schools and colleges for the children
of the Honan province. Two Chris
tian Brothers, holders of masters de-
grees in arts and sciences, also will
be included in the teaching band
which Father Clougherty will lead.
The Sisters, who are highly edu-
Gated and specially trained for their
work, will form a pioneer teaching
force which will some day, it is hoped,
link the new republic of the east with
the glorious republic of the west in
the love of Christ crucifed.

A NEEDED REPLY
X. OF c. ANSWER CRiTICS-LA-
FAYETTE NOT TO BE HoNoRED
AS CATHOLIC BUT AS FRIEND
OF AMERICA.

Objections raised by certain per-
sons against the honoring of Lafayette
by the Knights of Columbus, who will
present a statue of Lafayette to
France in August, has led the organi-
cation to make an official reply
through Joseph C. Pelletier of Boston,
it's supreme advocate.
"This statue" Pelletier states, els
not being given to glorify Lafayette
as Catholic. 1t is given to express
the appreciation of the aid and assist
ance given by France to the strug-
Cling colonies in which Lafayette was
leader standing beside Washington
almost from the beginning. He is a
representative of the type of those
days and of that friendship. He was a
Catholic and became a FreemasOn; so
are many other heroes whom we do
not hesitate to honor as leaders of
their time. The matter of Catholicity
does not enter into it.
'"There is no evidence to show that
Lafayette was ever a practical CathO-
lie, although he was perhaps born of
Catholic parents and probably baptiz-
ed. I cannot find that he ever attended
a Catholic school or college. His wife
was most devout Catholic, but never
held him to blame for his lack of re-
| ligiOn and their devotion to each other
| was little less than ideal. He had a
| Catholic chapel in his house and at
his death priest at his bedside, and
| he was buried from the Church of AS
sumption in Paris.
Lafayette was Washington's par
ticular friend and helpmate and the
one man who more than any other
| had been a means of bringing the
| king of France to give us help and
assistance. To say that we should
| fail to honor such a man because he
was not Catholic or because he was
a Mason is to assume an attitude that
is impossible.
among those who first thanked us
for the statue was the Bishop of Metz
who promised us every aid and as
sistance from the Catholic people OF
that great city. Then, too, while il
was at Metz that Lafayette first learn
ed of the American revolution and
formed his first determination to come
here, it was also there that General
Foch, quite different from Lafayette
received his early education at the
Catholic college in Metz; and these
both will be duly recognized, we hope
in the dedication Of the monument

manifesting a lawful pride in our
institutions that can thus excel,
some parents will lack the acumen
to appreciate what nOn-Catholics
of sane judgment willingly admit.
The average American usually
wants the best, and he gets it.
Will Catholic parents ignore the
schools that on so many occasions
have given proof Of their fine
mettle and high standard?
Now is the time precisely to
determine just where the children
will attend school the coming
year. Before making the decision,
cast loving glance at those little
souls, then gaze for a moment
towards the heaven where you
hope one day to see them with
you. Then with hand on heart
decide as you will in heaven wish
that you had decided.

CRIME IN IRELAND
LESS THAN ANY OTHER COUN
TRY ON EARTH.

From Tighe Hopkins to Lombroso,
criminologists all say that in no coun-
try on earth is deliberate crime so
rare as in Ireland. Certain propagan-
dists, however, are at present assert
ing that the political unrest in the
country is a symptom of the unbridled
lawlessness of Catholic populations!
Unhappily for these philosophers, the
prison statistics ruin their case The
official figures for the year 1888 are
now available. The number of pris-
oners sent to Jail was $500, decrease
of over 1000 on the previous year
The most numerous crimes in Ire
land today are speech and opinion.

SUFFRAGE IN SPAIN

THE CATHOLIC PRESS.

Much has been said in regard
to the Catholic press in this conn
try. Critics there are and critics
there ever will be. No reasonable
man or institution can rightfully
resent criticism of constructive
nature: in fact, such animadver-
sion usually is a decided help. 1t
is only the destructive elements
that infict injury.
The highest authorities in the
Church, beginning with the Popes
themselves, have reiterated the
necessity of a strong Catholic
press in every country. The
Church ever keeps pace with the
inventions and discoveries Of each
age, and she utilities them for her
own purposes. Telegraph, tele-
phone, steam, automobiles-all
improvements in the material re-
lations Of men form so many
means Of religious influence and
progress.
For the same reason the Church
recognizes the value of a strong
and fearless press as a medium
for the diffusion of truth and the
REPUTATION Of error. The forces
Of evil utilize the press far more
than do the followers Of truth.
Hence the need Of a virile, able
direction on the part of Catholic
journalists. The Bishops Of the
country in their recent Pastoral
thus speak in this matter:
"The functions Of the Catholic
press are Of special value to the
Church in our country. To widen
the interest Of our people by
acquainting them with the prog
ress Of religion throughout the
world, to correct false or mislead-
ing statements regarding our be-
lief and practice, and, as occasion
offers, to present our doctrines in
popular form these are among
the excellent aims Of Catholic
journalism. As a means Of form
ing sound public opinion, it is in
dispensable. The vital issues
affecting the nations welfare usu-
ally turn upon moral principles
Sooner or later, discussion brings
forward the question Of right and
wrong. The treatment Of such
subjects from the Catholic point
of view is helpful to all our
people.
"The unselfsh zeal displayed
| by Catholic journalists entities
them to a more active support
than hitherto has been given. BY
it's very nature the scope of their
work is specialized; and, within
the limitations thus imposed, they
are doing what no other agency
could accomplish or attempt, in
behalf Of our homes, societies ano
schools.

TOO MANY SAVIORS.

Not the least Of Ireland s woes
in the past has been the ambition
and selfishness Of some Of her
trusted leaders. By nature clever,
shrewd and born diplomats, the
Irish have suffered from a
plethora Of leaders. Time and
again the ship Of nationalism was
sailing in apparently smooth
waters. Suddenly the crew began
to bicker and quarrel, and the re-
suit was that the pirates overlook
them, and the last state Of the
people was worse than the first.
-Four years ago the seed Of lib
erty was sown in the blood Of the
heroic dead of Easter week. Since
that time the plant has thrived
and has grown apace. Recently
it appeared about to flower, and
cannon De Valera was appointed
overseer and head gardener with
the trust that he would watch the
precious exotic until it blOomed
and sent forth it's fragrance. De
Valera has performed his task
with energy, skill and courage.
But evil days have again come
upon poor old Erin, and the
trouble now is internal. Not that
the people at home are quarreling,
God bless them, they are more
united than ever; but their
friends" in America have a
little matter to settle and they are
going to do it at the expense of
the cause.
Now, the average American
does not give three whoops who
leads or who doesn't lead in this
matter Of Irish freedom; all he
knows is that he sympathizes and
feels deeply for the Irish people
he wishes them we'll he is willing
to contribute to help them out in
their struggles; the only leader
he knows is the President Of the
Republic, cannon De Valera. When
men like Dewey and Cohalan-
perhaps patriots at heart-begin
to stir up trouble over matters of
detail, when they accuse De Valera
of misappropriating funds, which
after all he is authorized to use
for the cause, when De Valera is
told to 60 back to Ireland as his
usefulness here is ended; there
can be but one result. The aver
age American, who looks only to
results and not to personal en-
mites and chickering's, will pres
emily become disguised with the
whole business. He will conclude
that perhaps after all the Irish are
not able to govern themselves, and
should not be granted any kind of
government, and that maybe it is
just as well to ignore the whole
matter and refuse to lift a finger
or utter word for a cause that
contains so many germs Of dis
sension.
Secret meetings, warnings to De
Valera to depart for home, threats
aimed at him and his cause; all
these things smack very much OF
outside interference with the pur.
pose Of undoing his work, which
means, in other words, putting the
Irish cause back another gener,
alton.
It is not the first case wherein
a man has been hung by his
friends. Cohalan received a
pretty bitter snub from President
Wilson several years ago. Did he
perhaps deserve it? At any rate
he is right now hurting the Irish
cause before the American people

people, ordinary readers, think
they could run a newspaper to
perfection. Judging from the
suggestions often sent to editors,
it is deplorable to realize how
many unconscious humorists exist

the biggest syndicate with "raw''
