DOWN WITH FALSE GODS.

Father Wachter, E. F. NJ, of Borneo.
recently took part in an idol wreck
ing campaign that caused him great
satisfaction. He writes:
mot long ago one of my Christians
asked, me to go to see an old lady,
Suntuvai by name, who, together with
her married daughters, was known to
be the most powerful pagan
priestess in an entirely pagan
village. l sent my catechist on ahead
and promised to come myself in few
days.
when | reached her home | was
surprised to find great gathering of
people as though for feast. She
asked me to destroy all her idols and
other objects of superstition, and to
bless her house, and she and forty
FIVE others expressed the desire to be-
come catechumens.
I'm a short time the news of Suntu-
vai's conversion spread abroad, and in
consequence two native chiefs remov-
ed all their idols, and our Superior,
the Very Rev. Mgr. Dunn, and myself
assisted at the burning of these. Mgr.
Dunn selected one Of the most hideous
idols and carried it off in his bag as a
souvenir Of the happy occasion.
"Such events make us sure that our
good friends must be praying earnest
ly for our success as well as assisting
US by their aims

THE MOTHERS SHARE IN THE
APoSToLATE.

Now that our young American
priests are, turning their eyes toward
the foreign missions. it will be neces.
sary for some parents to make a
double sacrifice-not only. Of yielding
their. sons to the Church, but of facing
the prospect of bidding them eternal
farewell even during life. But Ameri-
can mothers are equal to the. supreme
victory over natural affection as was
shown when the band of Jesuits left
/ New York recently for the Philippine
Islands.
The New York Messenger of the
Sacred Heart, for August relates a
scene that took place at the time Of
departure Illustrative Of this heroism.
The writer says: .-,s.
"He was one Of the twenty American
:Jesuits starting for the Ear East. His
mother stood beside him, and my heart
tthrobbed as I saw the last sweet i'm
press Of her lips upon the forehead OF
her boy. There came tears to her eyes
as she whispered: @
a Go, bring souls to God, Twenty
years agoI gave you to God and will
not now take you back. will be here
praying for you
HE was gone. saw him wave from
the train to the beloved mother, and
felt that he would never meet her
again on this earth. She did not see
his last farewell, for her eyes were
misty with tears
] :. DO not think / begrudged him to
God she murmured.s I know God
needs. him more than I do
Would that Catholic America could
number many such generous mothers!
The mission fields are white for the
harvest and the laborers are few. Cath
golic. America is beginning to hearken
to the call of souls in distant lands and
Catholic mothers are giving their boys
to save souls for God. Every Church
and every school should strive to
foster vocations for the mission fields. .

During certain ceremony which
marks the end of the winter season
all the young women and girls bor-
row from old relatives every bit of
jewelry they can obtain, and appear
literally weighed down with silver.
The native jewellers cast silver as
well as beat out bars, and make some
charming pieces. Their silver chains
are the envy of the Arabs. Suspicious
customers often bring their own sill
yer to the jeweler and watch him
make pieces they order.
One of the most astonishing bits of
iewelry they wear is a set of ear
rings SO heavy that they cannot be
held by the ears alone. Silver chains
are attached to them and fastened to
the headgear to help carry the weight
Another favorite bit Of jewelry is a

which in some respects affects their
standing in the medical world. It's
influence upon the public welfare is
equally menacing. This thing was
made possible through the profession
al Discrimination to openness with the
public in matters affecting medicine.
Those who will benefit by the new
legislation have not hesitated to en-
ploy publicity in furthering their in
terests. 1t is not strange that people
generally have not been excited over
the plight Of doctors who hold them
selves so aloof from every form of
communication with the world which
might be considered a self.advertising.
Dr. Luckens says he is in favor Of
newspaper publicity for his profess
sion. He realizes the value of adver-
tising to the advertiser and the people
alike. Not many members Of the med
ical fraternity are so outspoken, but
unnumbered doctors must be inwardly

bring such disadvantages to them

THE WAGES OF SIN.

The story of Virginia Lloyd is the
newest nine-days sensation. 1t vii
call for the usual number Of editorial
comments and for great quantities Of
moralizing. But in spite of the warn
ings that have been uttered from the
morning Of time and in spite of all
moralizing the human race will con.
tinue to burn its fingers at the can
die Of experience.
It is always true that the wages
of sin is death, but this is a fact that
is never learned from books. Mortals
who sin must learn the lesson from
experience itself. They never learn
from the sordid tragedies that blight
the lives Of others. Insensible to the
deaths head that hangs over life's
highway they go down into the valley
of the shadow to learn from their own
sorrows that the soul shall die that
sins.
No doubt Virginia Lloyd had long
known that hemlock that lay at the
end Of the trail. No doubt Represen-
tative Denny had read many stories of
the wreck and ruin left in the wake
OF sinners. Yet neither needed the
lesson that is Eden-old. Both had to
learn from shame and death that a
universal law is personal in its appli-
cation. Both had to learn from expe-
rience that the wages of sin is death

DOCTORS AND ADVERTISING.

One Doctor Luckens, Of Toledo,
o., is one member Of the medical pro-
fession who is heartily sick OF the
phase Of ethics which prevents a ply.
sician from using publicity. The doc
tor, presided at an annual convention
Of the Ohio State Medical Associa-
tion in Columbus a few days ago, as
serted on that occasion that his call
ings stunning Of advertising had
caused the latter to be monopolized
by "quacks and cults"-to the vast
harm Of the cause Of medicine, accord
ing to the st. Louis Times.
OF course the Ohio doctor is right
II the representative df the sound
side Of any proposition will not make
his position wholly clear to the pub
lie, he may rest assured that opposed
interests will gladly hasten to obtain
the ear Of the people. Then misin-
formation will be supplied, and upon It
must be based very generally the re-
lation Of humanity to that partio-
ular matter.
In Missouri the members Of the
medical profession are being made
painfully aware of this truth. They

SHORT SERMON ON ADVERTISING

This statement was recently carried
in London journal by British firm
which ia said to have consistently ad-
vertised its product for more than a
hundred years:
1T is surprising that many people
in these days should still misunder-
stand the motive OF advertising and
still regard with a certain amount Of
suspicion any firm which has enough
confidence in its own productions TO
proclaim that they are good. The cost
of advertising in their opinion, is ad-
ded to the price Of the goods, and the
public have to pay through the nose
for what is merely an exhibition OF
self conceit on the part of the manu-
facturer. agsts
THE sober truth, l. Il course that
the increase OF trade, which invariably
results when q valuable commodity is
intellgentH advertised, Is so great
that the manufacturer, after paying
all advertising expenses. is able, by
the economics OF mass production, ac-
tually TO sell at a lower price than
would have been possible II he had
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-05-27

never advertised at all. II, therefore,
you buy a well-advertlsed article you
are getting the highest value for your
money.
And there is another point TO re-
member: A firm that advertises gives
hostages to fortune. If you buy a we'll
advertised article and DISLIKE it
you will take very good care to get
something else next time. The very
advertisements that made you buy it
in the first instance will simply re-
mind you of your disappointment. A
good advertisement may make a first
sale, but only the qualities of the ar
ticles themselves can make people re.
peat their purchase. Thus, a firm
which proclaims IT'S wares as the best
obtainable, the wares themselves on
trial proving inferior, might for very
short time make a profit through trial
orders; but the prosperity would not
last six months. In a short time the
firm would be dead"

LITTLE ROCK GROCER
DECLARES TANLAC Is
SIMPLY UNEQUALED

''Tanlac has been such a wonderful
help to me during the last four years
that l feel it my duty to relate my
experience for what it may be worth
to Others" was the statement made by
Paul Snoigrass, 229 West Capital ST.,
Little Rock, Ark. Mr.. Snodgrass has
been in the fancy grocery business for
the past thirty years, and is well
known and highly respected.
When Tanlac was first introduced
in Little Rock. to the best of my reco,-
lection four years ago, it certainly was
piece of luck for me, for l was IN
an awfully run down and weak condi-
tion and the medicine fixed me up fine
in almost no time. At that time hal
no appetite whatever and what little
did eat seemed to do me more harm
than good, for il just would not digest
properly and caused me no end of
trouble. could scarcely sleep and al
ways felt so tired and worn out I
couldn't halfway attend to my bust
ness.
But in a little while after I start
ed on Tanlac could eat just anything
I wanted and was soon back to my
normal health and strength again.
Since then I've kept Tanlac on hand
and always take a little when l feel
the least out Of sorts. 1t fixed me up
fine after l had the flu and then re-
Gently I've been taking it to build me
up and have actually gained fourteen
pounds in weight. only hope my
statement will lead others to try Tan
lac, for I believe it's the best medicine
in the world. ADV.

THE WALL ON WHEELS.

We saw a cartoon, few days ago,
in metropolitan journal from which
the railway heads and the Interstate
Corporation Commission might gather
a valuable lesson.
The cartoon is an attack, from a
Democrat viewpoint on the proposed
revised tariff laws and shows that the
wall which would be built by the
prospective legislation not only would
shut the importations Of other coun-
tries out Of the ports of this nation,
but would also shut in and prevent
the expectation OF American-made
goods.
Life is too short to enter into an
argument upon the relative merits of
high protective tariff and a tariff
for revenue only. We will leave that
for the spell-binders who will go
forth, the paid mouthpieces of the two
great parties, just before the next
presidential election.
But the railway operators, with their
prohibitlve freight and passenger
rates, might do well to study the car
toon and deduce therefrom that the
Chinese wall which these extortionate
transportation charges is building will
prove wall which will not only elm
mate the shipper of goods, but will
soon eliminate all shipments Of goods
over their lines.
If the man who owns the transpor-
tation facilities puts his tariffs so
high that none can pay them, he will
soon find that the dollars and dimes
which trickle into his till will become
so few that he will have to announce
sweep4sg reduction in his own sal
airy.
The high protective tariff, the high
and prohibitive freight rates are
twins, each one near of kin to the
fabled dog in the manger.

HURRAH FRATERNALISM.

News dispatches, carried to after
noon papers yesterday, stated that
Judge Robert L. Williams, Of the
United States district court, hailed the
leaders Of the Lions parade before
him at McAlester, and lectured the
leaders soundly for the manner in
which they and their fellow fraternal-
lists were disturbing the peace and dig
nifty Of the community.
The wording Of the wires, as sent
forth by the news service which hand
led the story, was calculated TO leave
the impression that Judge williams
ordered his court attaches to bring the
Lions before him in order that the
court might enter into the spirit Of the
occasion and deliver a "mock" admo-
milton to the ROSTERS to "go thy way
and sin no more"
The Ardmorite is not prepared to
pass upon this particular point, but
knowing Judge Williams as We do
knowing him as a man who is by no
means lax in his enforcement Of the
law, as a man who demands that the
dignity of the court shall be respected
as a man who holds that the dignity
of the state shall be held involate, we
cannot permit ourself to entertain the
opinion that his admonition TO the en-
thusiasts was delivered in Jest, or that
he was actuated in delivering II, by
any spirit of levity.
The Ardmoreite is not prepared 10
censure the Lions for the manner in
which they may have taken possession
Of McAlester and turned themselves
loose to create all the noise and tur-
mol possible, and raise the devil gen.
orally. Men, when they go forth to
have a good time, are nothing but
grownup children. They leave care
behind and throw dignity TO the
winds.
But, supposing that the lecture deliv-
cred by Judge Williams was a bona
fide calling down, as It doubtless was,
q calling down given those who had
forgotten their dignity and the duty
that was due from them, the respect
which they owed the citizens of the
city Of which they were the guests, We
must remember that children some
times have TO be spanked when their
high spirits become too evervescent.
We believe that relaxation for the
business and professional man is in
valuable. We believe that every man
and every woman should take a few
days off once In q while, a few days
spent away from the hustle and rustic
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-05-27

and turmoil of business cares and vex
| ations' But we do not believe that
this relaxation should be spent alto
gether in the hurrah line.
We believe in rraternal organlza-
tons, be those organizations benefi
ciary or Of a purely social nature,
The obligation which a thinking man
takes when he affiliates with any
Good order is of such nature that he
is, if he lives up to all it seeks to in
culcate in him, a good man. If he
does not live up to his obligation in
any order, he is unworthy and untitled
to remain a member thereof.
We believe IN fraternal organization.
in fraternal societies, because each one
worthy the name is founded upon the
principle which makes all men kin,
which teaches that friendship and
brotherly love are paramount, which
tells us that deeds Of honesty to fel.
low man are deeds which are good in
the eyes of God.
But we do not believe that the hon
or of fraternalism. the holiness which
attaches TO true brotherhood of man,
the principles of brotherhoods, each
member bonded by a serious, a solemn
and binding obligation, can be found
attached to the hurrah wagon.
When the whoop, whoop, to-hell-
with-law-and-order spirit takes pos
session Of a crowd of those who are
representatives of any fraternal order,
then that order loses cast and the re.
spect of those who are non affiliates.
