ONE LAW FOR ALL.

Among the causes of dissatisfac-
ton and dissension in the relations
between man and man may be
numbered the unfairness, the UNI
equality with which existing laws
are applied. Much Of the injus-
tice in the world arises from this
source, much of the crime and less
er evils may be traced directly to
the man who thus hampers with
the law of impartial justice.
Starting in the family, one often
sees a parent hold one child
strictly to account for every slight
infraction Of the domestic law;
another child is excused, is laugh
ed at, petted along when he breaks
rule or violates parental COM
mand. The result? One child
comes to look upon all law as
irksome and hateful, later trans
ferring his hatred to those in au-
thority; while the pampered one
forever seeks a loophole-and
usually finds one-from every
legal observance. In after life
these two will likely develop into
the tyrant and the chronic, shifty
evader Of all law.
The same is true in the wider
Tsphere. Of business or social rela-
ltions. One man is made to, walk
the chalk-lnark, while the other is
permitted to detour at pleasure
one violates a lesser law, and he is
Immediately hauled off to court as
a dangerous criminal: the other
breaks serious laws, and he Is
gently admonished to be careful
next time. In this fairness be-
tween meng Is it equality? Is ii

unrest that sooner or later will

A MEMORIAL CHAPEL

ARLINGTON CEMETERY.

Consideration of the need of Airing

nominational chapel is asked Of the
American Legion, the executive COM
mittee of which met in Washington
this week for the purpose of consider
ing the knights of Columbus offer of
$5,OOO,O0O for permanent memorial
to soldiers and sailors, by the Rev. Ig-
natius Fealy, chaplain of Fort Myer.
Father Fealy's letter to Frederick
w. Galbraith, supreme commander of
the Legion, is follows:
"Worthy Sir and Comrade:
MAY not ask you and your asso-
ciates to consider the needs of Airing
ton Memorial Cemetery for an inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL chapel when you come
to discuss, on February 2, the $4,000
900 memorial proposed by the Knights
of Columbus? Colonel Drain will be
glad to inform you that the site, over
looking the nations capital, would be
most suitable. More than twelve hun
dred soldiers of this post could make
use of it on Sundays"
Father Fealy has asked the support
Of Catholics, who saw service, for his
proposal. 81

A SPIRITUAL ARMIsTICE.

Lent is pre-eminently a,time of
introspection; it is spiritual
armistice concluded with the af-
fairs of the world. During that
time the Christian, in certain
sense, lays aside the arms of his
material struggle and seeks to re-
pair the wastage Of war in his
spiritual life. The wise man
makes good use of this period of
smrcease from worldly toll and
sets in order the house of his soul.
Every man knows that he is
placed on earth for a short time:
even the longest life is but a flash,
or less, in the vastness of eternity.
And yet how few act as if they
realized this tremendous truth.
The majority of men give them
selves up unreservedly to things
of earth; they center all effort and
ambition in striving to appear a
little better than their fellows; to
this end they ignore the law of
charity, the dictates of Justice, the
plain conclusions of common
sense.
Take stroll through the local
cemetery. Pick out the graves of
those whom you knew in life. Re-
call the struggle and hatreds and
enmities evoked and aroused by
certain ones who now lie quietly
in the charnel house of death.
Does not one experience feeling
Of revalsion, of disgust even to-
wards the tomb of those proud,
unbending creatures who caused
such suffering and misery and
heart-aches in their lives? One
may utter a hope that they are at
peace, but the disgust remains.
In presence of the grave of one
who loved his fellow-man, who
was helpful and kind and just, a
reverence arises in the soul and we
look with sadness upon the rest
ing place Of one who lived and
worked and wrought for his kind.
A prayer involuntarily springs to
be lips for his eternal repose and
the happiness that he earned.
Lent is good time to think
over such matters, and to point
them towards the eternity that is
fast approaching. What will
avail to have climbed over your
fellow-men to reach a position of
fancied superiority, while in the
process you crushed him down like
a worm? God does not always
punish with swiftness, but the lot
of such an one is not difficult to
surmise. Lent is a time for balanc-
ing standards, for weighing values
and for making practical resolu-
tions accordingly. 1t will come
only once this year next year you
may have to abide by your
present decisions.

RACE SUICIDE
LOSSES IN BIRTHS DECLINE IN
FRANCE.

France is beginning to win in it's
war against race suicide. Statistics
for 1921 show that for the first time
in many years the birth-rate exceeded
the death rate. The figures are in
complete, but are based on statistics
from such widely separated places as
Marseilles, Chalon and Diepp. ...
Just before the war, the birth rate
equalled the death rate, and during
the struggle there was an appalling in
crease in the proportion of graves as
against cradles.
Great credit for the improvement
is given to the late Cardinal Annette,
to whom the Minister of Public In
struction paid gracious tribute at
the last meeting of the French War Or
phans Supreme Board. It was an
