That the general public should pro
vide the funds for the upkeep of hos
pitfalls was a contention brought out
in a discussion of the "Financial Sup
port for the Hospital,' at the after
noon session June "a.
DR.. Horatio B. SWeetser of ST.
Mary's hospital, Minneapolis, in out
lining system of public support fol-
the hospitals, suggested that a central
board to be made up of business men
be organized to maintain a means OF
financial support for hospitals.
''The sick should not be obliged to
pay for the upkeep Of hospitals any
more than should a person who has
been robbed of pay for the upkeep OF
the police department, or a person
whose home has been destroyed by
fire pay for the maintenance of the
fire department." DR.. SWeetser said
He stated that all hospitals could be
maintained by the payment of 81 pei
year per capita.

JUDGE FAv0RS RELIGION
NEW YORK JUSTICE SUPPORTS
PLAN TO TEACH RELIGION IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Judge Thomas T. Grain Of the Court
of General Sessions, who is men,
Der of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, is among the promoters of
the plan to provide for the religious
training of pupils of the public schools
of New York. According to Judge
Grains proposal, the instructions
should be given in conformity with
the religious convictions of the chill
dren's parents.
It is from his experience Of four
teen years on the bench, Judge Grain
says, that he has reached the conclu-
sion that religious training is impera-
tive to prevent the increase of juve-
nile crimes. Lack of such moral
teaching in the schools, he declares.
is responsible for much of the deprav-
ity and criminal offending among
youth.

dramatically, but unsuccessfully at
tempted to prevent the lynching of
three negroes in Duluth several weeks
ago.
Dr. Ryan has issued a formal state.
ment in which he says:
"All honor to the Roman Catholic
priests who tried boldly to face and
overcome the mob"
When a crowd of several hundred
men had taken the negroes from po
lice headquarters, after battering down
doors, and condemned the blacks to
death, Father Powers climbed to the
pole from which the first of the three
was about to be hanged and pleaded
for obedience to law.
Men, you don't know this man is
guilty. Father Powers cried. II know
the crime is the most horrible one, but

POPE AND THE LEAGUE
HOLY SEE AND THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS ARE SUBJECT OF DE
BATE AND SUGGESTIONS.

The report in the Roman Tribuna
that Mr.. Balfour proposed to the Coun.
Gil Of the League of Nations that the
Holy See should be admitted mem,
ber of the League has been contra.
dicted in League circles. The ground
for the contradiction is that there is
no report of the proposal i'm the
League proceedings in Rome.
There is, however, more than a sus.
piciOn that in spite Of this contradic.
tion the matter was brought up during
the sessions. The general objection
seems to have been that although the
Holy See is justly considered to be
a Power or a State it is not nation
But it is certain that some of the
powers represented on the Council of
the League, in which Spain is includ-
ed, are anxious to find a means of
associating the Holy See with the

FRIENDLY VISITORS MEET

ments. The social service movement
has back of it an earnestness and an
enthusiasm worthy of admiration and
emulation: it has skill. too. and meth
Cd from which Catholic charity work
ers can learn much. Yet, while We
use and perfect every method that
modern science can give us, we must
be Watchful lest we lose the very
essence of Catholic charity which is
the love and service of Christ in His
members.
The Archbishop then referring to
the ApOstleship of Prayer into which
the Friendly Visitors have been or
ganized as Promoters, commended the
spirit of prayer as the great means of
preserving the essential love and hui
mility of true Catholic charity.
DR.. Walsh spoke of the Friendly
Visitors work as the normal practice
of all Christian men and women who
wish to fulfill the seven corporal
works of mercy. He humOrOusly eX-
posed some shams in modern social
and medical practice and pointed out
how old some of our recent "discOy-
cries. are. AS physician he eX-
planned that friendly visiting would be
the best cure for many nervous dis
eases which multiply when women
have little to feed their minds and
hearts upon save their ailments and
their lap dogs.
A rising vote of thanks was given
to the Archbishop and DIR. Walsh at
the end of the speakers program.

the knights to establish a branch in

REORGANIZATION WORK
ORGANIZATION SEEKS TO BRING
MESSAGE TO FOREIGN BORN
FAMILIES.

The st. Paul Americanization Com
mittee, composed of men and women
from all walks of life, has undertaken
the direction of Americanization work
in this city. 1t has comprehensive
program for the coming year and is
endeavoring to raise funds for this
work. The committee is seeking as
many individuals and organizations
as possible to join it's ranks and to
assist in the work which they are
directing.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in these efforts by promoting
the study of Americanization in
church study circles, clubs and other
groups. Trained and enthusiastic
workers are needed to go direct to
the home of the foreign-born mother
and there to teach her the message Of
Americanism. AS many of these for
eigners are Catholics, we trust that
sufficient Catholic workers will be
! found for the task.

Owing to the immense cost which
the holding of Catholic Congress
would involve, the Catholics of Ger
many have decided to postpone their
national gatherings until conditions
become more favorable. The annual
Catholic congresses were of great
service not only to the Church in
Germany, but also to Catholics in
other lands Their programmes and
discussions offered light and leading
on pressing public questions, and the
meetings helped to strengthen the
unity of Catholics in the different
German States and to give them com

Cardinal Mercier on Americans

"The American shows himself as
he is, without bluster, but also with
out feigned modesty. If he is not a
believer, or if he does not practice
his religious belief, he respects the
faith and the rights of others. Sim
cere himself, he honors sincerity in
others. He figures that religion, like
art, science and labor, is and should
be fairly divided out among mankind.
The newspapers, too, bow before the
nobility Of this sentiment Of true lib
erty. Nobody dreams of making any
form of religious life and thought the
subject Of Hippancy or unkind com
ment.
"The American soul is truthful; it
opens out; it is not shy.
THE photographer is everywhere.

as I was drinking a glass of water in
a private house. And let me say
right here that at all the public ban

"Cardinal Gibbons, the alert old
man of S5, the sole survivor of the
Bishops who attended the Vatican
Council in 1879, the best known, and
to my thinking, the most-esteemed
and most popular of Americans, in
vited me to a meeting of Catholic
Bishops. There were 81 present.

of my confreres. we like our peo-
pie to see us at work. We Americans
live sociably. Right through our big
cities tomorrow the faithful and their
fellow citizens will see pictures of
the Catholic Episcopacy at work.
They are interested in us because

Modern Samaritan.


To the mind of anyone who sees
this picture of misery by which the
human race is oppressed there must
come back at once the story of the
Gospel traveller who was journeying
from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell
among thieves who robbed him and
covered him with wounds and left
him half dead by the wayside. The
two cases are very much alike; and
as to the traveller there came the
who bandaged his wounds, pouring oil
and wine over them, took him to the
inn and undertook all care of him, sc
to cure the wounds of the human race
the hand is needed of Christ Jesus
Of whom the Samaritan was figure
| and image.
That indeed is the work which the
Church takes upon itself as heir and
| guardian of the spirit of Jesus Christ
the Church whose entire existence
is a marvelously varied network OF
good deeds, the Church that real
| mother of Christians which has such
| tenderness of love for it's neighbol
that for every one of the different
| evils which trouble the soul will
sin it has ready every kind of medi
| cine" and so 'treats and guides chill
dren as children, young men with
courage and strength, old people will
| quiet calm, as each has his condition
not only in body but in soul" Ant
| all this many-sided Christian benefic
| ence, by sweetening the spirit, has
| wonderful effect in restoring tran
quillity to the peoples.
