The Church (of course, he
meant the non-Catholic bodies)
has so far gone afield that it has
become little more than watch

dictator of legislation" the Rev.
DR.. Paul Lindenmann of St. Paul,
Mimi, declared in a lecture at
Ocean Grove, N. j., on July 81, to
5000 Lutherans assembled from
New York and Northern New Jer-
sey to observe Luther day, says
the Catholic News. Preachers are
representing things that tickle the
palate of the flesh, he said, and
are by their batteries and moraliz-
ing training up a generation of
self-satisfied Pharisees, he added.
"The Church has erred into paths
OF activity that were never in
tended for it and the pulpit has
degenerated into a lecture plat
form This criticism, Of course,
does not apply to the Catholic
Church which in it's "old-fash-
ioned" way sticks to religious
teaching.

ARTHUR GRIFFITH.

The cause of New Ireland has
sustained grave loss in the pass
ing of Arthur Griffith. His depar.
ture was so sudden and unex.
pected that it left his colleagues
unprepared for the moment as to
his successor. That another lead
er soon will be found there can
be on doubt; but it will not be
easy to select a man who com
bines all the qualities that dis
tinguished Griffith.
During the past few years OF
turmoil, internal and external
that has afflicted the devoted
Irish people Arthur Griffith was
the balance wheel that sought
ever to preserve unity and har.
mony. Neither demagogue MOI
reactionary, neither visionary no1
Quixotic, this champion Of the
rights of Ireland steered what he
considered the most practical
course. Founder Of the Sim Fein
party, in the first National Coun
Gil Convention in 1905, he endeav
ored to make the best bargain
possible with Great Britain. This
he visioned in an Anglo-Hiberniar
empire. Finding that complete
independence appeared imprac
tical for the present, he was salts
fed with the treaty entered into
last December. This stand cost
him many friends in Ireland and
few abroad. The great majority
Of his countrymen, however, seem
to have remained steadfast to the
ideals which he championed.
With the insurrection still
devastating Ireland, it is not easy
at this distance properly to gauge
the whole situation. Passions
have risen high; partisanship has
waxed fiery; the followers Of De
Valera seem irreconcilable, and
the friends, Of Ireland everywhere
grieve at, her recent misfortunes
There is no doubt, however, that
history will write large the name
Of Arthur Griffith as one who
visualized his country's greatness
and who struggled through pow
erty and Encouragement fol
many years to bring about hel

WHY CANCEL. THE DEBT.

Much discussion has been caused
in both England and America
through the publication of Lord
Balfour's recent note. The suave
and amiable, but cautiously diplo-
matte, Balfour seems to have
aroused antagonism on both sides
of the Atlantic. His. suggestion,
in effect, amounts to a polite re-
quest to this country to cancel the
British debt to the United States.
The little Welsh premier added his
contribution by stating that Great
Britain would be willing to fore
go even the German reparations
to his country. 1t did not seem
to strike him at all that America
does not care three whoops wheth-
er or not he collects the German
indemnity: our only concern at
present is the debt which Britain
owes us.
The whole question in a nutshell
comes to this: the allies will for
give one another willingly all in
debtedness if the United States
will join the forgiveness party.
In that case each of the allies
would neither receive nor pay
with regard to the others, while
America, which has no outstand-
ing obligation to any of them,
would cancel the several amounts
still due her. They seem to lose
sight Of the fact that in such a
circumstance America, which
received no emoluments from the
war though she might have made
any bargain, would be called upon
to bear the whole burden. The
other nations, moreover, have al
ready counted the spoils in both
reparation money and newly ac-
quired territory.
A great deal more could be said
regarding this astounding propo-
sal, but suffice it to add that it

THE LACK OF PUBLIC De
CENCY.

A contemporary points out the
fact that even vice assumes the
garb of virtue, and that when vice
ceases to affect this raiment then
all public barriers have broken
down. This seems to be the case
to-day in every part of the coun-
try. One or two barriers are left,
but they, too, are weakening.
The onslaught has been terrific,
and the flood is sweeping all be-
fore it.
But few years ago a certain
eastern magazine was tabooed by
Catholics because it often ran big
oted stories or risque tales. To-
day that same periodical would
seem a Sunday school manual
compared to the welter of OBJ

The rector of the Catholic Univer-

the cornerstone Of new Agricultural
College which is to form part of the

had school of agriculture and one
of commerce, but the former has been
so successful that its old quarters
have become far too small to accom-
modate the large number OF students
enrolled. The Bishop of Angers. with

Miss Anna E. Hennessy in the

present-day dance evil be COM
batted by the introduction of
dancing as part of the parochial
school curriculum. "Then, in par
ish halls, a few years from now, y
she thinks, clean, graceful dane
ing would replace the hideous
contortions of today" On that
principle we should have to re-
constitute our schools on an en-
tirely new and essentially differ

In view of the rising tide of
complaints in regard to heavy
taxes, it is well to remember Poor
Richard s dictum: eff the taxes
laid on by the government were
the only ones we had to pay, we
might the more easily discharge
them; but we have many others,
and much more grievous to some
of us. We are taxed twice as
much by our idleness, three times
as much by our pride, and four
times as much by our folly, and
from these taxes the commission
ers cannot ease or deliver us.

CHURCH FLOURIsHEs HERE

A sweeping glance around this
country reveals that the Catholic
Church is enjoying an era Of sig
nal prosnerity, material and spir-
itual North, south, east and
west, wherever the eye roams,
there appears the evidence of a
rugged growth. Continually are
we informed by the numerous
Catholic exchanges that Catholi-
cism is striking deeper it's roots
in the hearts Of the faithful,
while it ever draws forth the
respect and esteem Of those who
differ with it's doctrine.
The material evidence Of expan-
sion is found in the large number
Of churches, schools, academies,
hospitals and homes for the afflic-
ted of all classes. The parochial
schools scarcely can keep up with
the growing demand, while in
many places they are forced to
wait for one or more years in
order to obtain teachers. The
orders Of sisters and brothers are
straining every resource to supply
the need for instructors, and yet
there is the insistent cry for more,
ever more.
Hospitals under Catholic aus
pices are continually adding new
buildings and equipment. The
high standard maintained by
these institutions is frequently the
envy Of others, but the good work
progresses and seems to thrive Oh
opposition.
Not a week passes that does not
chronicle the erection of new
churches and parishes in scattered
parts Of the country. Stately
temples, many Of them, plain,
practical edifces in smaller Sec
tions, simple houses of worship in
the more remote quarters: all tell
of the vivid, sterling Catholic
faith that actuates their builders.
That the spiritual life Of the
Church profits immeasurably
through this material activity
goes without saying. Our church.
es and other institutions are
founded upon a sublime belief in
God, the abiding Presence Of
Jesus in the Tabernacle and the
sincere yearning for a better life
here and hereafter.
Opposition there is, much and
frequent. Was ever good work
inaugurated that did not suffer
from the darts and invectives Of
the malignant or the unthinking !?
The modern Knownothingism,
called the Ku Klux Klan, has
crystallized the essence of hatreds
and bigotries found among our
enemies. Petty annoyances, tan
talizing nagging, mean insinua-
tions attempt to hamper our
growth. But we are not oblivious
that the disciple is far from being
above the Master; hence, while we
chafe under the lash Of evil men,
we suffer not encouragement to
alter our purposes. Organized
Catholic effort is doing much to
bring about a healthier feeling
among those who hate because
they know not. After all, much
of the prejudice against us is
based upon ignorance the aver
age American is fair; and when
he perceives the truth about the
Catholic Church he is easily led,
as rule, to admire or, at least, to
refrain from opposing.

DO WE SPEAK ENGLISH?

Sioux City Journal - Perennially
there goes on a mild controversy as
to whether Americans use the Eng.
lish language as the B%ritishers do. In
the matter Of pronunciation there Is
OF course a wide variance, just as
there is between the Georgian and the
New Yorker, the B~ostonian, the Cape
Colder and the Iowan. The Britisher
broadens his as much more than Is
common in this country. He is apt
to slur his words; he will speak, for
instance. of hist'ry, whereas the Amer
lean will say history, making the 90
perceptible IL not prominent. The
British also frequently pronounce
short e" like short "a making clerk
clark" and derby darby" These
differences. however. are but super
fiscial, just as is the difference In the
Bostonian's pronunciation OF car as
"cah." the New Workers. as "cor," and
the Iowan's pretty much as 1t ought to
be pronounced.

1t is in the use Of words that fun.
damental differences, whatever there
are, exist. British writer's affect an
abhorance for the word sidewalk.
preferring to use pavement, even
though as William Archer, Britain's
foremost critic of the drama recently
pointed out in the London Nation and
Athenaeum, pavement is as often as
not a misnomer, since sidewalks are
not necessarily paved. The Britisher
is very chary Of the use Of euphen-
isms save in the word lady, and
this word he almost invariably en-
ploys where good usage in America
would demand the word woman.
A writer in the New York Herald
points out some other variances In
the use OF words. To the Britisher
a clerk, a workman, or a laborer is
never an employee. a public house is
never a cafe or restaurant, a barber
is v a tonsorialist, an undertaken
