THE trace or the United States
IN vegetable oils showed an ex-
port balance previous to 1914,
but swung to a large balance OF i'm
ports in 1915. This condition con-
tinued until this year, when for the
FIRST time in six years, exports have
exceeded imports.
The great demand for fats and
oils during the war so stimulated
imports that II appeared that we
were TO become the permanent mar
ket for the great surplus Of Oriental
vegetable oils which came in such
increased quantities. The decline
of imports in 1920 from the high
levels of 1918 and 1919 has so con-
tinued that we now have an export
balance to our credit.
The relative Importance of the va
rious vegetable oils is indicated by
the following table of production
and consumption.

UNION LABOR.

The cause Of the laboring man
has ever been close to the heart
of the Church. Christ mingled, by
preference, with the so-called lab
oring class. He Himself belonged
to that class, as did practically all
of His Apostles. Down through
the ages the Church stood as a
wall Of defense between the sor-
did greed Of the INSCRIPTIONS in
high places and the man Of toll.
She opposed slavery and taught
the doctrine of the equality of
man. During the middle ages she
founded or upheld the guilds, and
never has she ceased to guide and
to protect, as far as possible, the
man who works with his hands.
Unions of workingmen found a
ready friend in the Church. Her
influence was spread over their
efforts to obtain simple justice for
all. Her Pontiffs and Bishops
have repeatedly proclaimed the
rights of such men to organize and
to protect their interests. She
maintains that stand today, as APP
pears from the famous Pastoral
Letter Of the American hierarchy.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1921-06-25
At the, present time there seems

At the present time there seems
to be a concerted effort to disrupt
these unions. lie they are swept
away, the workingman will be
exposed without defense to any
heartless employer or group of en-
ployers that may care to exploit
him. The last state Of that man
will become worse than the first.
Is it wise for the unions to
throw in their lot with socialistic
societies of every color and shade
Is it wise to harken without a
thought to every demagogue who
may obtain temporary power in
their ranks? The workingman has
not only rights but duties as well.
Not all the sin is on one side in
the great economic dispute now
going on. Besides, the public also
is to be taken into account, for in
the final analysis even a Reign of
Terror is bound to spend itself,
as history clearly proves.
By all means preserve the labor
unions. May they be guided
Alright for the welfare of their
members and of society. But in
the name of all that is fair and
just kick out the false leaders who
are drawing their fellows on to
destruction.

MAIN STREET.

AS everyone knows, the book OF
the above title has brought smiles
to the larger cities and frowns Of
disapproval to the little burgs.
It's theme, setting forth the foibles
and narrowness that are supposed
to exist in smaller communities,
has a direct bearing on the spir-
itual lives Of many Christians.
For they, too, though dwelling in
the midst of a metropolis, often
present all the characteristics of
narrowness that the most eager
novelist could desire to adorn a
tale. They live on a little Main
street of their own making.
In this busy little thoroughfare
everyone and everything is keenly
scrutinized. Not a sparrow falls
but their jaundiced vision at once
conjures up a terrible tragedy.
The innocent are bored through by
the piercing gaze of these little
main-streeters; and hidden mo-
tives, horrible designs are quickly
fastened upon the most casual act.
A real fault of slight insignifi-
canoe is magnifed until the crimes
Of Robespierre pale into trifes by
comparison. The good are black
ened, the bad are damned by the
jewellers along this little street
called Main. A hearty, whole
some manner becomes to them the
mark Of the confirmed roue: a
meek, tinid department is brand
ed as an infallible sign Of past
(and, maybe, presently guilt.
This particular Main street is
peopled with hypocrites from one
end to the other. True, they par
ade their piety and their absolute
sinlessness: but this piety is pre-
cisely the kind the serpent as
sumed when he insinuated himself
into the graces Of Eve. These
modern serpents lack shrewdness,
but they are long on asinine i'm
becility. Frequently they are the
warts on the body Of religion
not exactly dangerous, but annoy
ing and unsightly excrescences.

OUT OF THE DEPTHS

BY SHELL BURST.

(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)
M. Clermot- Ganneau, member Of
the Paris Academy of Inscriptions and
Belles-Lettres, has just told his col
leagues how excavations at Jericho,
now being conducted by the Domini-
cans of Jerusalem, were instigated by
by the bursting of a shell.
A Turkish shell burst one dav with
in the British lines, tore up the ground
and laid bare a wonderful piece Of
mosaic work.
The British commander at that point
Of the front examined the mosaic and
considered it to be Of great interest.
He therefore reported the matter to
the Dominicans, who, thanks to the
Turkish shell and the British COM
mander, are now excavating large
ancient synagogue, In which have been
found ornaments and texts of great
historical value.
Father Lagrange will make detail
ed report on the results Of this ex-
cavation to the academy of Inscrip-
tons next month

Archbishop Hayes, New York,
recently praised the theatrical
profession in an address at a
luncheon given in his honor by
the Catholic Actors Guild of New
York. "The stage is a stratum
Of life," said the archbishop.
"You may compare it with a
stratum of society in general
mean the wealthy and cultured
and I think it will not compare
unfavorably. The Church has al
ways recognized the stage as a
human institution and something
to be led and guided and not
destroyed. There is a big heart in
the Church for you people, and we
would like you to come in some
times and warm yourself by the
fireside Of God"

POOR 10 NEGLECTED
MAJORITY OF INDIANS ARE NOT
AFFILIATED WITH ANY
CHURCH.

OF the more than 100000 Indians in
the United States, fully two-thirds are
without any Christian religious affilia-
ton, either Catholic or Protestant, &C.
cording to survey, the results Of
which we're announced in st. Paul by
DR.. Elmer Higley, of Des Moines, who
has recently been appointed superin-
tendent of the Indian work of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The
Indian population is not decreasing in
numbers, the report shows, and with
the Improvement of homes, medical
attention, and sanitation a marked in
crease is predicted. At the present
time, three out of every five Indian
children die before the age of five
years.
A comparison of the work done by
the Catholic and Protestant mis-
sionaries shows that 430 Protestant
workers care for $4,000 Indians, while
only 275 Catholic missionaries are
available to care for more than $1,000
persons.

Of the priests Of the Diocese Of

priests to the number Of over two
hundred, representing 100000 citizens
in the City sand Diocese Of Omaha,

and children Of Ireland, to whom they
extended their heartfelt sympathy in
this their darkest day of persecution.
Resolutions to this effect were passed.

o FELIX ROMA.

June 20 is Rome's own holiday.
Every Christian land has it's spe-
cial patrons whose festal day is
the signal for national rejoicing
each year. Rome, however, is en-
purpled with the blood of two
royal princes, Peter and Paul, who
appeal to the multitude as well as
to the hierarchy Of the capital of
Christendom. On this day all
Rome sets out to honor these noble
champions Of nascent Christianity.
When the first rays of dawn
streak the italian sky on June %
Catholic Rome stirs and at once
directs it's steps towards the basil
lea of st. Peter. Masses are con-
tinuous all morning on its forty
affairs, and devout worshippers,
thousands upon thousands, stream
through the vast edifce paying
their homage to the first Supreme
Pontiff as he lies in humble splen-
dor in the depths of the "Confes-
sion," St. Peters own shrine. Nor
do they forget piously to honor
the wonderful bronze statue Of the
Prince Of the Apostles which has
stood within the basilica for Gen.
turtles and has received the devout
reverence of millions of Christians
from all over the world.
1t is at Vespers in the after
noon, however, that Catholic Rome
rises to the heights of fervor.
With more than forty thousand
persons gathered under the i'm
mense dome, and an equal number
outside, the papal choirs chant the
solemn praises Of the two early
heroes Of the Church. Attentively
does the assembled throng unite
with the spirit Of religion in
thanking God for those intrepid
leaders. When the triumphant
hymn Of victory is intoned, and
the two vast male choirs, aug
mented by two powerful organs,
burst forth in the thrice-repeated
paean, 0 Felix Roma-O Fortu-
nate Rome-every heart thrills to
the glory Of Gods saints, and the
agony of martyrdom is swept
aside in the memory Of the tri-
umph which crowns st. Peter and
st. Paul.
Fortunate and happy may be
Rome, but far more fortunate is
the world Of civilization and relig-
ion because of Rome. Like bea-
con guiding from afar, the sentinel
Of Christianity radiates light and
protection to the farthermost cor
ners Of the earth. Intellectual pir-
ates, moral bandits, may strive to
lead the nations astray; but Felix
Roma ever sends forth her beams
Of light, clear, strong and irresist-
ible; the peoples of earth see and
are glad, and the Ark of the ages
is honored above all temporal po-
tentates.

The present public education
system was criticised by former
President Taft, speaking at Mount
Holyoke College commencement
exercises. "The present system, "
he said, "has many defects. 1t
lacks thoroughness. 1t lacks the
insistence on hard work on the
part of the student. The time
of a student is too much occupied
with extra-curricular activities.
They attract public interest and
attention and furnish a false
standard of success. Similarly, the
curriculum itself is widened with
a variety Of subjects that make a
show Of extended study but
which unfortunately produce only
a smattering of many things. Z"

A CATHOLIC PARTY.

Thoughtless persons sometimes
inquire why Catholics in this coun-
try are not united into one polit-
ical party. Such units are found
in Europe: why not here? Ac-
cording to our enemies, all the
Catholics in the United States are
banded into solid party with the
avowed object Of making Amer
lea safe for the Pope The fact
is that Catholics here are united
on one point only: the doctrines
of faith. Outside Of that they OBJ
serve no political or social lines.
In Europe, especially in some
countries there, the Church is the
constant object Of attack by anti
clerical bodies. A Catholic polit-
ical party, therefore, in such cir
cumstances is a necessity. It is
merely a means Of self-defense and
would become obsolete were active
antagonism to the Church to dis
appear.
America, however, offers no dis
tinct opposition to the Catholic
faith. Here liberty of worship is
guaranteed and protected by the
very laws Of the land. True, in
dividual Catholics are often sim
gled out for discrimination at the
polls. In many cases this is really
a good thing, for not all these
Catholic political aspirants are a
credit to their faith. Occasionally
real harm does ensue when a man
Of known probity and ability is
ostracised by reason Of his relig-
ion. Such individual cases, how

CAPTAIN JACK BARRY.

While certain circles are tense
over the recent asinine utterances
of the chest English admiral in
the American navy" it is well to
recall that the Father of that same
navy was an Irishman. When the
navy was organized, by act of con-
gress, in 1894, six men were pro-
posed and accepted as captains by
George Washington. Captain Jack
Barry headed that list, and thus
became the first ranking officer.
Barry, however, was not merely
a political appointee. Born in Ire
land in 1745, he came to this coun-
try fifteen years later, and took
up seafaring life. At the out
break of the Revolution, he offer
ed his services and was at once ap-
pointed commander Of the first of
the two vessels authorized by the
Continental Congress. His COM
mission bore the date December z,
Its. Several months later, as
commander Of the Ef6ngham, he
brought to Philadelphia British
war vessel, the first prize captured
by a regularly commissioned Off
GER.
While in command of the ALI
ance Barry performed his most
heroic feats. Capturing British
vessels at will, defeating numerous
antagonists, he quickly drove fear
into the enemy. The Trespasser
and the Atlanta soon lowered
their colors to him in a terrific
fight in which Barry was wounded
but victorious. After taking Laf-
ayette to France in the Alliance,
Barry set out on a cruise that
caused widespread destruction
and a loss to English commerce
amounting to more than three mil
lion dollars, a vast sum at that
time. The naval fights of the war
came to close with Barry's last
engagement and victory, when he
brought in the captured British
frigate Syville after a battle of
forty-fve minutes. After the war
the Alliance was sold and the navy
ceased to exist until 1894.
Barry retired to Philadelphia
where he died in 1903. His private
life was as strongly Catholic as
his public career was spectacular.
His memory as Father Of the
American navy was honored by
Congress which, in 1906, appro-
priated $4,000 for a monument to
him in Washington.

RECALL THE COMMUNE
PARIsIANS KEEP GREEN MEMORY
OF COMMUNE MARTYRS--IM-
PREssIvE CEREMONIES HELD
AT CHURCH OF THE MAD
ELElNE AND NoTRE DAME.
(By N. G. W. c. News service.)

(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)
A touching ceremony was ce,ebrat-
ed in Paris at the Church of the Mad
eleine, in memory Of Able Deglerry,
pastor Of that parish, who was
murdered by revolutionaries ct the
Commune fifty years ago, and whose
body now lies in the crypt of
the church. Cardinal Dubois pre-
sided over the Office.
The musical program was. directed
by the aged Theodore Dubois, former
director of the Paris Conservatory,
who was the choir director of the
Church Of the Madeleine in the time of
Able Deguerry, to whom he had ded-
icated his famous oratorio: 1.-THE
Seven Last Words Of Christ"
Vengeance On Hostages.
The crime was committed at the
end Of May during the terrible year,
1871. After the Germans had raised
the siege of Paris, the revolutionaries
gained possession of the capital.
They Immediately seized hostages
belonging to the clergy, the judiciary,
the university and the army. When
they found themselves menaced by
the advance Of the regular army of
the government, which had taken ref
uge at Versailles, they wreaked their
vengeance on the hostages.
On May 26, the regular troops hav-
ing won two decisive victories, push
ing back the revolutionaries to the
extreme outskirts of the working
districts to the East of Paris, six
hostages were shot in the prison of
La Roquette.
They were: the Archbishop Of
Paris, Mgr. Darboy, the pastor of La
Madeleine, Able Deguerry, Able
Allard, former missionary, Father
Ducoudray, rector Of the famous col
lege of the Rue des Postes, Father
Clerc, a former naval officer and pro-
fessor of mathematics in the same
college, and Monsieur Bonjean, presi-
dent of the chamber at the Court Of
Cessation.
Mgr. Darboy's last gesture was one
Of benediction for his executioners.
On the following day, after hearing
Of a new defeat, the revolutionaries
massacred six Dominicans, two lay
teachers and six servants.
