There is one country to which
the solemn warning Of Cardinal
Gibbons against the ever-growing
evil Of divorce does not apply, and
Ireland is it's name, says a writer.
In Catholic Ireland marriage is
still a Sacrament. England,
which, if not Catholic, up until
recent years was at least Puritan
zeal in it's respect for marriage, is
now running a race with other ma
tions to make divorce easy and
cheap. Ireland, maintaining her
Catholic moral tone, views with
revulsion the divorce-made-easy
bin. Here the sanctity OF marri
age VOWS is more strictly observed
than in any other country in the
world. A judicial separation is
all that can be obtained on Irish
soil. Such a decree of separation
does not give liberty to the parties
to re-marry. In order to make
them eligible for re-narriage a
private act of Parliament is neces.
sary, which. costs much money to
obtain, plus social and political
influence. Consequently Ireland
is a realm almost untainted by
divorce.

Diplomatic relations between the
Vatican and the Swiss Federal Gov
eminent have been restored, and Mgr.
Luigi Maglione, the new Nuncio, has
been consecrated to the episcopate
by Cardinal Gasparri in the Church of
Santa Maria in Trastevere, in Rome.
There has been gradual rapproche-

dict XIV sent Mgr. Marchetti, now Nun

sentative to Berne, for the purpose OF
collaborating with the Federal Council
and the foreign ambassadors in|the
work of relieving prisoners Of war and
the exchange of sick and wounded
men of the belligerent armies.

HIGHER EDUCATION
POOR BUSINESS TO STOP TRAIN
ING OF CHILDREN AT END OF
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL COURSE.

The following reflection from the
Brooklyn Tablet is worthy of consid-
Grafton in this diocese at present:
We cannot harp too much on the
necessity of Catholic education or on
the necessity of every one in the do
cese having a real, live, intelligent in
terest in our Catholic school system.
Every one in the diocese contributes
to the support of the schools; they
belong to every one, and every one
should be their upholder and defend
er. The theory that the churches and
the schools belong solely to the clergy
or the religious is fast dying out.
They belong to all; their problems
affect all; their responsibility falls
on all; their victories should be
shared bp ALL and their progress
should be matter Of pride and inter
est to the laity as well as the clergy.
Speaking of education, we again
call attention to the problem of high
er education Our Catholic elemen-
tary schools are growing so fast, and
the number of pupils being graduated
is SO large, that it seems well-nigh
impossible to give our youth higher
education under Christian auspices.
We do not possess Catholic high
schools or colleges enough to take
care of our boy and girl graduates.
Here is the problem in nutshell
for every Catholic in this diocese:
Are we satisfied to spend large sums
of money, and years of labor, in plant
ing the seed Of Christian faith in the
minds and hearts of our children, and
then when they have about reache /
the age of maturity see them turned
over either to the materialistic COM
mercial world, or to a secular form
of education where the name and prin-
ciples Of Jesus Christ are outlawed?
In other words, after we have spent
time, labor and fortune, saturating
our boys and girls with the principles
of Christian character, can we afford
to turn them over, at their most pill
able age, to an atmosphere that will
soon undo our work?

THAT MICHIGAN SCHOOL BILL

private school is lawful and honor
able one, and the Supreme Court has
decided that any lawful business chos-
en- by citizen as his calling may be
regulated but cannot be destroyed by
the State.
Injurious to Michigan because thou
sands will leave Michigan as our fore
fathers left Europe in search of re-
ligious freedom, and other thousands
will avoid a state where freedom to
practice their religion according to the
dictates Of conscience is denied.
Helpful to Atheism because our pub
lie schools, where religion is excluded,
are only compromise and not what
any single denomination would select
if they had the field to themselves.
Atheists would naturally choose a
school where no religion is taught
Sophistical, for the slogan, Zone
Flag, One Language, One School," is
meant to deceive. We have and we
want one flag-the glorious Stars and
Stripes-the symbol of liberty, but we
abhor the black banner of bigotry and
religious persecution which the
Amendment has in mind.
FaIIacious for we have lived togeth-
er peacefully for 140 years with three
school Observation-Disclosures, Private
and Public-better than any other ma
ton with only one-and with some 300
denominations. To force parents
against their conscience to send chill
dren to one school is just as unjust
and tyrannical as to force all denom-
nations into one church.
A Menace to the Republic because
the government could not long survive
the destruction of equality of rights
upon which principle the Declaration
of independence and the Federal Con.
stitution are founded.
Wrong in Principle, because>the enc.
mics of religious schools have no more
right to compel you to send your chill.
dren to public schools than the friends
of religious schools have to force you
to send your children to religious
schools.
Despotic in Nature, because it would
force Catholics, Lutherans, Adventists
and members of the Holland Re
formed Church to send their children
to public instead of religious schools
in defiance of their religious con
science
An Insult to Our Dead Heroes, be
cause it is founded on the fallacy
that religious schools breed treason. {
| lie that throws a shadow across thu
graves of all the thousands of gradu
ates of religious schools who gladly
laid down their lives on the altar o.
patriotism.
Unworthy Your Support, because i
| is designed to stir up religious preju
| dice, encourage bigotry, and throw the
religious question into politics, and il
based upon an appeal to the loves
and meanest instinct in man-relig
| ious fanaticism.

WOMEN TO VOTE.

One of the practical results Of
Catholic women s federation is the
opportunity which it affords such
women to get in close touch with
the rights and responsibilities i'm
posed upon them through their
privilege to vote.
We still maintain that woman
kind would be much better off and
more true to their nature as we'll
as to tradition, were they never
given the occasion to go down in
to the political arena.
One of the effects of modern
life, however, is to sweep away
personal opinions. In this case
the majority has decided that
women shall vote, and the conclu-
sion is that she should vote.
If women, especially our Catho-
lie women, are faithful to the high
ideals Of womanhood reared by
Christianity, such women with
their newly acquired power will
become a benediction to the coun-
try. 1t goes without saying that
the morally submerged class of
women will avail themselves of
this right to vote with alacrity
even as the corresponding class of
males always acts. 1t follows,
therefore, that the woman whose
ideals are elevated, whose judg-
ment is sane, whose love Of law
and order is unquestioned and
whose womanliness is exemplary
that these women should one
and all 60 forth and cast their
ballot for moral and national well
fare. Self-preservation as well as
patriotism now dictates that every
woman eligible to vote should con-
tribute her share towards the
strengthening of morality, the
protection Of the home and the
welfare Of the, Republic.

HARVEY's WEEKLY.

During the weeks preceding an
election, and especially a Pres
idential election, all the filthy,
mudgutter papers and publica-
tons Of every kind throughout
the country exert every effort to
stir up religious bigotry. Usually
they pick on the religion, chiefly
Catholic, Of the various candi-
dates and appeal to the voters Of
the country to defeat such and
such a man because he is a Cath
Ollie. The better quality of publ
cation, however, usually refuses to
stoop to any such ignoble tactics.
Harvey's Weekly, a New York
periodical, in it's issue Of October
%, seems to have slipped from it's
self-erected pedestal and to have
plunged into the mire Of sectarian
hatred. In this number the mag
azine presided over by the change
able Colonel Harvey runs car
toon. the object Of which ap-
parently is to belittle Governor
Cox and Wilson's League Of Ma
tons.
Every Catholic is familiar with
Murillo's famous masterpiece,
1.-THE Immaculate Conception. !"
In the despicable piece of ribald-
ry Of the current Harvey's the
cartoonist depicts Uncle Sam in
the same attitude as the Blessed
Virgin in the original painting.
In the caricature Uncle Sam is
partly hidden behind large
heart, with paper bills Of various
denominations flying all about
him. The title Of the picture,
which Cox is endeavoring to hang
| on the wall, is Professor Will
sons League Of Nations, The I'm
maculate Conception The sub
title Of the painting is marked,
1.-THE Greatest He Angel
If Harvey's Weekly thinks it
has done a service to Senator
Harding by outraging the religi-
Gus sentiment Of more than TWEEN
ty millions of American Catholics
it is high time for our Catholic
people to unite in a vigorous pro-
test to this publication and at the
same time to mete out the proper
treatment that such an insult de
serves Of Hard ing md the Repub-

The Continent" brings out the
fact that Senator Harding's pres
ent wife was a divorce when he
married her. Our Presbyterian
contemporary deplores the pros
pect that, ''no matter what the
outcome of the present election,
the family which will live the next
four years in the White House,
will bear the divorce brand. "
The Catholic Citizen thinks
this is merely an unavoidable &C
cident of our American civiliza-
ton. 1t is, but a sorry one. We
can understand now why the Re-
publicans never made any capital
out Of the fact that Cox is a di-
vorced man.

ly disliked as England; and this
is true throughout the civilized
world, and in spite of the fact that
her people have contributed much
to the culture and intellectual
wealth of the world.
England's attitude towards Ire
land has ever been that Of the cat
towards the mouse. She tempted
the Irish with promises, and when
acceptance was near, she, like a
bastard, denied those promises.
She offered Home Rule, to go into
effect in May, six years ago. When
Ireland appeared grateful, Eng
land sullenly refused to keep her
word.
British and Anglophile writer's

the British position with regard to
Ireland: this position is, nothing
more nor less that Of the bandit
towards his victim. 1t is mock
cry Of the aims Of the last war it
gives the lie to all diplomatic
pretences; it puts the knife
through Justice, prostitutes limo
cence, crowns british might, drags
patriotism through the mire, and
brands in it's true colors the damn
able slogan of "British fair play"
Ten million murdered Irishmen
rise to ask the meaning Of this ~
ing phrase, and their blood-stain-
ed features and broken limbs give
the answer, explain the meaning
of English "fair play
This ideal spirit Of England s
dealings is illustrated in the fact
that this very fair play is respon-
sible for the myriads Of emigrants
from England to America, Aus
tralia, Canada and South Africa
of hopeless wanderers driven from
the shores of Ireland to every cor
ner Of the earth. Plymouth Rock
never would have been known,
but for this same fair play to-
wards the Puritans; and the fervor
Of Irish faith would have been lost
to many countries were it not for
this same fair play that drove
them forth from their native land,
sobbing and in rags, but glowing
with a faith that England buried
when she followed her lecherous
king in the sixteenth century
dance Of spiritual death.
