MODERN JtzABELs LOSE
BIRTH CONTROL ADVOCATES
SUFFER DECISIVE DEFEAT.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Advocates of legislation permitting
the dissemination of, information on
birth control suffered a decisive de-
feat in their effort to secure the sup
port of the National League of Wom-
en- Voters which met in convention in
Cleveland April 11-16, according to
reports by a representative of the Ma
tional Council of Catholic Women,
who attended the meeting. The con-
troyersy conferred around the attempt
made by the Voluntary Parenthood
League to have the convention en-
dorse a resolution calling upon Con-
gress to amend existing fedora, laws
to permit the use of the mails for the
purpose of sending out information
and instructions to parents, on the
subject of birth control.
A petition calling upon the Resolu-
tions Committee of the National
League of Women Voters to present
resolution embodying these ideas,
was circulated among, the delegates
to the convention by representatives
of the V. P. l.. The Resolutions Com
mittee referred the petition to the
committee on Social Hygiene of which
DR.. Valeria Parker is chairman. The
vote of this committee at special
meeting called to consider the petit.
ton was nine to one against its pres
entation to the convention.

ENGLISH PRIEST BAI1tRs
MASKED ATTACKERS INVADE
HOUSE OF IRISH PRIEST.

The Bishop and priests of Achonry
Diocese have made public and en-
phatic protest against the insults and
threats of death to which Very Rev.
Denis O'Hara, P. p, Kiltimagh, Coun-
ty Mayo. has been subjected. Father
O'Hara is one of the most active mem
bers of the Congested Districts Board
since it's inception in 1891.
Recently body of military entered
Kiltimagh, and placed one of the cur
ates under arrest and marched him
through the streets at the point of
the bayonet. Father O'Hafa reported
the occurrence to the commanding
officer. Two nights afterward his
house was attacked, shots were fired,
and he himself warned that he had
only ten minutes until his old heart
would be silenced forever"
The masked attackers described
themselves at members of the I. r. a..
but the Bishop and priests who in
vestigated the matter repudiate that
allegation, and declare that they are
convinced beyond any shadow OF
doubt 2that those who attacked the
house of Father C, Hara in the night
but fortunately failed to effect an en-.
trance, belonged TO the forces OF
whom he had complained.

UNIONS IN CANADA
CANADA CATHOLIC UNIONS PRO
TEST OFFICIAL BAN - AMER
Jean BISHOPS MENTIONED. 81

Considerable dismay has been caused
in Quebec by the attitude of the Cam
adian Secretary of Labor, Mr.. Gideon
Robertson, when receiving an impor-
tant delegation of the National Cath
Ollie Labor Unions of Quebec, at OF.
tawa. Mr. Robertson took the" stand
that Canadian labor unions were not
worthy of government consideration
unless they had made a public pro-
fession of religious neutrality. For a
Canadian labor union to be Catholic
was sufficient reason for the govern.
ment to exclude it from representa-.
ton on National Industrial Commits
sion. st "t s
The announcement of this astound,
ing policy of religious exclusivism
aroused violent protest in the
French-C Canadian press, and even in
the important English Protestant
paper of Montreal the Gazette, which
says: There is ample evidence that
the National Catholic labor move
ment has made for industrial peace
and stability in this province"
American Bishops Position.
Among other things, Mr.. Robertson
claimed that the Church desires to
exercise an autocratic control over
labor and industry, and also that
Catholic workers do not work in har-
mony with other labor groups; such
groups, for instance, as the Interna-
tional Unions and the Trades Congress
which, he says, are in agreement with
the principles set forth in the Pastoral
Letter of September, 1919, signed by
His Eminenee the late Cardinal Glib.
bons and the Bishops and Archbishops
OF, the United States.
AS regards the second point, Able
Forth asserted that the two labor
bodies mentioned explicitly profess
socialistic principles, which are de.
nounced, no less explicitly, by the let
ter of the American Bishops.

SACRAMEhTAL WINE
QUANTITY USED BY CATHOLICS
-"BY FAR THE LARGEST PRO.
PORTION" GOES TO NON.CATH-
OLIcS-EACH JEW ALLOWED
TEN GALLONS. ~

The confusion growing out of con-
stantly recurring reports of large
Withdrawals of wine for sacramento
purposes has in large measure been
cleared up by statement by Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Kramer pointing
out that fery small proportion of.the
wine withdrawn under that head is
used in Catholic churches.
There is no way of estimating accu-
rately the quantity of wine used by
different religious organizations.
Whether ii, is withdrawn by Jews,
Catholics, Orthodox Russians, or mem.
bers of9other denominations, the per-
mits are issued for sacramental pur-
poses in accordance with the provi.
sions of the law. The impression, pre-.
vailing rather generally that the term
applies only to Catholic Churches is
erroneous. 1t is estimated that posi-.
bly, up to ninety per cent of the wine
permits issued under this provision

tracted invalidly, and hence that the
parties are free to marry again. That
is the office of the Bishop of the do
cese acting through his matrimonial
court. Neither may Catholic at.
tempt a second marriage until de-
cision has been passed on his first

Why does the Catholic Church for
bic it's members to believe in fortune
tellers when many of the things they
tell US are known by us to be true
and many things they tell US about the
future really do occur? .f
Consulting with fortune-tellers is
forbidden by the Church because it is
usually FORM of superstition, and be;
cause it is an indication of lack of
faith and confidence in God. God
alone knows the future; He may be.
stow the gift of prophecy, and He has
done so. This gift is, as rule, COM
ferred on persons of great sanctity,
or those IN religious authority, and
for some serious purpose. Can you
imagine that God opens the future to
the knowledge of some silly, garru-
lous woman who conducts this illicit
business and has fixed price of ad.
mission? This is degrading religion,
making it ridiculous, and when relig-
7 ion becomes ridiculous, it ceases to be
true. Why do people consult fortune
tellers? They are concerned about
their future; instead of having con-
fldence in God, instead of resorting to
prayer, they invoke the aid of faker.
But sometimes we are told the truth?
Of course; no person would be one
hundred per cent wrong in his or her
guesses. Besides, these people are
adept in the art of suggestion; they
have some knowledge of human ma
ture; they are able to evoke Informal
ton from their unsuspecting client.
who is often in an excitable frame of
mind, and will follow any lead. From
this knowledge of the past, the for
tune-teller hazards guess concerning
the future. We are astonished when
the guess proves correct, and we for-
get the scores of times that it is miles
from the truth

AUSTRIAN CATHOLICS PLAN
TO SAVE CATHEDRAL

Cardinal Pifl, Archbishop or Vienna,
is giving his support to Catholic
committee which has undertaken to
provide funds for the repairing and
maintenance of the famous st. Ste
phen's Cathedral, following the refusal
of the Socialist authorities of the mu-
nicipality to increase the amount
which the city contributes toward the
preservation of this precious heirloom
ON medieval architecture.
At the moment when the Socialists
announced their, refusal to add to the
municipality s share of the expense OF
keeping the. Cathedral in safe and
slightly condition, they appropriated
10000 crowns FOR "a competition be-
tween artists for the building of a

SOCIALIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS
SYSTEM OF TEACHING is HAVING
EFFECT - ENGLAND's EDucA-
TioNAL AUTHORITIES REALlZ-
ING ERROR OF THEIR PAST UNI
WHITING AID TO REVOLUTIONS
iSTS. SO rs

Some twenty years ago the Social
list Party in Great Britain, looking
around for some sort of nursery from
which they might recruit future forces,
hit upon the expedient of the Social
list Sunday School At that time the
baneful effects of Socialism were Ell
Their not understood or were ignored.
But the fact is that many of the edn-
cational authorities permitted the, use
of the public schools on Sundays for
the holding of Socialist Sunday
Schools. Il
. Now the effect of that negligence
is understood, and among others, the
educational authorities of the London
County Council have refused the use
of the schools-which are maintained
by all the.tax payers-for the Social
lists to hold their pernicious meetings
in. In these Socialist Sunday Schools
the young children have had their
minds filled with such teachings as
the following, which is taken from a
typical address by a Socialist Sunday
School teacher: a, secs
Every child, this class was in,
formed, "in the industrial, republic
would have as birthright everything
in life, There will be no mansions
and no slums, no kings and no queens,
no lords aid no dukes, no masters and
no servants, no rich and no poor, for
in the industrial republic all shall be
free, for the fight for bread shall be
won"
There are, the Ten Commandments
+ of Socialism, which in short and sim
pie phrases convey such reflections
as: t1>.. :, il, *sl - a@.sI
Thou shalt not be patriot, for a
patriot is an international blackleg.
Thou shalt wage the class war.
=" Thou shalt teach revolution, fol
revolution means the abolition of the
present political state and the end OF
capitalism, and the raising in Their
place of an industrial republic"
Meanwhile, SO far, as can be seen
nobody but the Catholics have ever
taken steps to offset the menace OF
Socialism and Communism, and fright
thinking persons" are now being called
upon to face situation that ought to
have been faced twenty years ago.

THE CASEY SCHOOL

S. e. Kizer, the newspaper poet of
Chicago, las eulogized the Casey
school in these stanzas:,
Come all you darlin' Doughboys who
have heard of Casey's hut;
The door swings wide and easy, and
you'll never find it shut;
You're welcome-more than welcome
If you'll come to Casey's school,
For Casey's gone to teachin' with the
book and wrench and rule.
Sure you remember Casey, he that
helped you on in France! 81
Did he ever fail to greet you with a
friendly word or glance?
Casey's eager to be seryin' as he
served you in the fight,
So join the classes Casey, has ar
ranged to teach at night.
1t was Casey, Casey, Casey!' when
the shells were Whizzin' past;
1t was Casey" when you landed it
was Casey first and last!
And you Lever heard him askin you
. about the cash you had;
He was there to give you comfort, and
he did the same be dad!
So, come, you darlin' Doughboys, for
it's Casey calls once more;
The hut is bright and coy, as it al
ways was before;
You'll find old friends around you-ah,
their greetin' won't be cool,
And you'll not be asked for money
when you come to Casey's school!

THE IRISH ELECTIONS
VOTING FOR PARTITION CERTAIN
TO PROVE A SOLEMN FARCE.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
The anomaly of proceeding with
elections all over Ireland, at time
when the British government had to
abandon the idea of taking the Irish
census owing to "the state ofwar," is
recognized by all. The elections will
be carried through in May.
In view of the decision of the Slim
Feiners and Nationalist to poll their
full strength, it is foregone conclu-
ton that if free voting is allowed the
Partition scheme, which the elections
are intended to inaugurate, will be re-
pudiated by an overwhelming MAORI
ty. The Catholic vote in the North,
which is expected to win in about Is
constituencies, will deprive the North
ern Parliament of practically one
third of its personnel, as the Catho-
lie representatives will refuse to at
tend the wsassembly.
p The rest of the country will elect
"abstentionists" to the Parliament in
tended for the South, and SO this leg
islative machine will begin as dead
letter and die at the moment of it's
birth, The strange thing is that, with
all these facts SO clearly foreseen, the
absurdity is being gone on with. +
