NOW THEY'RE At It
STUFF BALLOT BOxES-OREGoN
RECOUNT PROVES BOOMERANG
FOR kU KLUx KHAN.

w. H. Emrick, president of the Law
and Order League, of Portland, Ore,
was indicted by the Multnomah Coun-
ty grand jury for "wilful neglect and
corrupt practices" as chairman of a
precinct counting board in the recent
primary election. The indictments
arose out of the recount of the ballots
instituted by members of the Ku Klux
Khan on behalf of Charles Hall, de-
feated candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of Oregon.
The recount proved boomerang for
the Khan forces; the only evidence of
fraud that was found being in EN-
rick's precinct, where anti-Klan can
didates were robbed of from is to 40
votes.
: The most startling disclosure was
in the case of John B. Coffey, Catho-
lie, candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the state legislature.
Though 40 votes were cast for him, he
was given only votes by the board
over which Emrick presided.
Naturally great deal of resentment
is felt at this invasion of the sanctity
of the ballot. Anti-Klan sentiment has
been strengthened by the episode.

HISTORIC TABERNACLE
1T WILL BE USED AT FIELD MASS
IN BALTIMORE.

Time will be turned backward three
centuries in it's flight at Loyola Col
lege, Evergreen, Md, next Sunday,
when open-air Mass will be celebrated
on the lawn of the college before the
Tabernacle which was brought to this
country in 1884 by Lord Baltimore at
the time of the foundation of the
Maryland colony.
The Tabernacle was used by Father
Andrew White at the first Mass said
for the colonists. It remained as a
precious heirloom in the Carroll fam
lily until Mrs. McTavish, a great-grand-
daughter of Charles Carroll of Car
rollton, presented it to the Sisters of
Mercy for their chapel in the convent
on Poppleton street, the first home
of the Sisters of Mercy in Baltimore.
1t is now jealousy guarded in the sac
risty of Mt. st. Agnes, Mount Wash
ington.
The Sisters of Mercy have consent
ed to let the Maryland Pilgrim Society
have the use of the Tabernacle at the
Mass to be celebrated at Evergreen
Every honor will be accorded the pre-
cious heirloom, in which the Eucha-
ristic Savior abode nearly three hun
dred years ago.

WAR BABIES TO SCHOOL
LONDON TEACHERS ADOPT METH.
obs DESIGNED TO MEET
NEW CONDITIONS.

The recent conference of the Lon
don Teachers association considered
matter of unusual Importance, name
ly, care of children who might be call
ed war babies"
AS one teacher put it: The children
coming into the infant schools at the
present time were born when their
parents nerves were racked during
air raids, and these children are utter
ly unable to concentrate on anything.
When they are bad tempered, get into
passion or did not sit still the I'M
qualified person would not know how
to deal with them. 1t was not temper;
it was nerves, to deal with which re-
quired skill. Many of the children
born during the war were also unsuf-
ficiently nourished and must be ten
derby treated by those who are skill
ed in training.
The conference adopted measures
designed to meet the situation.

FIGHTING AT THE FRONT.

Reports from the various mis-
sion fronts Of the Catholic world
indicate the dearth of resources.
The personnel is entirely made
quate for the huge task Of win
ming souls to Christ. Many, it is
true, are brought into the fold.
But it is like vast field Of wheat
that is only partly harvested for
lack of workers: a large portion
must be left idle since the har-
vesters are SO few.
The actual necessities Of life
are all that the missioners, priests,
brothers and sisters, ask for them
selves. The age Of miracles is
past, and human beings are left to
their own devices, from a material
viewpoint, in handling the situa-
ton. In early times God often
endowed the Jealous apostle with
the power to work wonders. Now,
for His own just reasons, He rare
ly bestoWs this faculty.. Hence
the men and women who 60 down
to the harvest field in the Name
Of God are obliged to labor with
out this extraordinary help.
Here at home we have COM
modulus edifices in which to give
missions for non-Catholics. Ev-
cry facility is placed at the dis
posal Of the Jealous missionary {:
pastor, church, all conveniences
are at his call to assist in the good
work. The missionary himself is
well taken care Of. And ali this
is simply as it should be. In the
far reaches Of the world, however,
the missioner usually stands alone.
He must preach and teach, bap-
tie and civilize, and into the bar
gain he is called upon to use his
ingenuity in supporting life.
If some method could be devised
whereby each parish in the civil
lied world would undertake to
adopt and support foreign mis-
sion-the cost would be but NOM
inal-What an immense influx
there would be towards the
Church. Freed Of material anx-
ieties, the missioner would be en-
abled to multiply his efforts and
the harvest would be richer, more
ample, more honorable to God and
beneficial to a wider number Of
souls.

THE PLIGHT OF AUSTRIA.

History plays queer pranks on
nations as well as individuals.
For many centuries Austria was
the hated enemy Of Italy. The
land Of Franz Joseph had gr;pped
the fairest Italian provinces, and
constant struggle was the result.
The outbursts in '48, '67 and 1870
finally brought partial freedom to
Italy from its age-old foe. In the
latter year the Piedmont govern
ment established united Italy, Incl
dentally Selling the lands OF the
Papacy in the process. IL Tren-
tino, however, the territory about
Trent and Trieste, still remained
in Austrian hands.
The world war was a great dis
turber Of thrones and boundaries.
Old lines were obliterated, ancient
monarehies oyerthrown. The for
tunes Of the conflict favored the
Italian claims, and Austria went
down to defeat. Suffering, starva-
ton and widespread misery have
visited and reduced to ruin the
chivalrous nation that cast it's lot
with Prussia. The world has wit
messed the desolating spectacle Of
priests and nuns, those ministers
of charity, slowly dying of famine.
So long as strength remained they
worked and sacrificed for the
people: when physical nature col
lapsed they laid themselves down
to die, victims of the Cross.
Now Austria s new leader, Mon
signor Seipel, has tried by every
human means possible to stave off
utter destruction. In his distress
he appealed to the League of Ma
tions. and to international bankers,
but without much success. Final
~ he turned towards the ancient
foe Of his native land, Italy. Fear
ing the encroachments Of neigh
boring countries, rejuvenated with
the breath of newly acquired lib
erty, Italy has needed the call.
She has promised to stand by and
see that Austria is not dismem.
bered. What if her motives be
political or otherwise. The fact
is that Italy is repaying with pro.

claims of Columbus, and America
cannot do less than recognize the
fact.
In a country like ours, composed
as it is of descendants of all the
nationalities of the earth, similar
questions are apt to cause differ
ences Of opinion: the pre-national
factor often enters the field. In
this case, however, there is no OBJ
lection from that quarter, since
our Italian fellow citizens are
proud Of their illustrious ancestor.
The only cloud raised with re-
gard to this issue is that which
proceeds from bigotry. A few
persons, perhaps many, are so
constituted that they measure
everything in terms of prejudice.
Whatever bears the Catholic label
arouses them to opposition, where
as Catholics are ever ready and
willing to join with their fellow
citizens in every laudable national
cause. 1t is to be hoped that the
people Of America, and Congress
especially, will not allow any
untoward narrowness Of view to
prevent according to Columbus
the honor we so gratefully concede
to Washington and Lincoln.

A CATHOLIC PAGEANT

Under the auspices of the Guild of
Our Lady of Ransom for the CONVEX
sion of England, Catholic pageant is
to take place through the streets of
Southwark, which will illustrate
events in the past Catholic history of
this crowded diocese.
There are two bishops of Southwark
One is the Catholic bishop, whose See
dates from the time of the restoration
of the Catholic Hierarchy; his cathe-
dral is a fine modern church from the
designs of the famous Catholic archi-
tect, Augustus Welby Pugin. The 9TH
er bishop is the Anglican prelate,
whose See is much more modern than
that of the Catholic bishop, and whose
cathedral is the fine pre-Reformation
church of St. Marie Overie, once a
Catholic church, and in which the
founder of Harvard University lies
buried.

WHAT ARE THEY?
"MODERN" CHURCHMEN HOLD
CONFERENCE IN SPITE OF
CRITICISM.
(By N. C. w. c.. News Service.)

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Undeterred by the criticism they re-
ceived last year, the so-called Modern
Churchmen have just opened their Sec
ond annual conference at Oxford,
whence great deal of frothy verbiage
is being poured out on the subject of
'Christianity as the World Religion"
The conceptions of Christianity, as
it exists in the minds of these Modern
Churchmen, were so revolving that the
Catholic Bishop of Stafford, last year,
called on the whole of his diocese to
observe a day of reparation as a pro-
test against the blasphemies that were
uttered at the Oxford meeting.
At least two Of the speakers at the
present Oxford meeting are official
teachers of theology in seminaries of
the Anglican Church; and it is to the
shame of that Church that it has new
er officially reprimanded these ecclesi-
astical Bolshevists, who are engaged
in ripping the very heart out of what
ever doctrinal position the Church Of
England may claim to possess.

FIRE CHAPLAIN DIES
NEW YORK PRIEST WAS BURIED
WITH HoNoRS OF CHIEF.

The Rev. Vincent de Paul Mclean,
rector of st. James church, New York,
has died from the effects of an attack
of influenza which he contracted while
on a visit to the battleields in France
after the war. Father Mclean was
chaplain of the New York Fire Depart
ment for ten years, resigning in 1917,
because his appointment as rector of
ST. James made it impossible for him
to continue his services to the depart
ment. Shortly after his appointment
as chaplain he attracted the attention
of Mayor Gaynor and other city Off
Gals by his bravery in climbing fif-
ty-foot ladder under topping cornices
to administer the last rites of the
Church to dying woman in an East
Ninety-frst street tenement. At his
funeral this week he was given the
honors due to battalion chief of the
fire department.
Father Mclean was born in New
York 46 years ago and was ordained
by the late Cardinal Farley in 1905.

RELIGIOUS RECEPTION
CHRISTIAN BROTHERS Civ G
HABIT TO TWELVE YOUNG
MEN-NINE MAKE VOWS.

At the Christian Brothers Novitiate,
Glencoe, Mo-, twelve young men re-
ceived the habit of the Congregation
on August 80. This simple but I'M
pressive ceremony took place at the
end of the annual retreat given by Fa-
Their Henry Becker, G. IS. R., who
opened the exercises with an able adj
dress.
The announcement included in this
act of sacrifice is far-reaching and in
cludes the adoption of a religious
name, the family cognomen being
dropped and one given by the Congre-
cation adopted. The young aspirants
were vested in the habit by Brother
Baldwin, Provincial, and they are to
be known as follows: Thomas Leahey,

Rev. John F. Carson, pastor of
the Central Presbyterian church
of Brooklyn, in an address at
the General Conference being
held in Stony Brook, l.. l., stated
that radical and socialistic propa-
ganda was being circulated in
the public schools of New York.
In referring to these schools, he
said: "The whole system of edu-
cation is being diverted from
fundamental education to the in
culcation Of ideas that in their
outworking are inimical to the
foundations of our civic institu-
lions. To a great extent they are
becoming socialistic, and socialis-
tic theories and tendencies are be-
ing inculcated.

The Bishops Pastoral Letter
says: Since the child is endowed
with physical, intellectual and
moral capacities, all these must
be developed tremendously. An
education that quickens the intel
ligence and enriches the mind
with knowledge, but fails to de-
velop the will and direct it to the
practice of virtue, may produce
scholars, but it cannot produce
good men. The exclusion Of moral
training from the educative pro-
cess is more dangerous in proper
ton to the thoroughness with
which the intellectual powers are
developed, because it gives the i'm
preston that morality is Of little
Importance, and thus sends the pu-
pill into life with a false idea
which is not easily corrected.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

Catholic parents in recent years
have been considerably aroused
over the necessity of Christian
education for their children. The
parochial schools are growing all
over the land, and each year sees
vast increase in numbers of
pupils in every part Of the coun-
try. The grade schools are unable
to cope completely with the pres
ent. situation for lack Of religious
teachers, and not infrequently
outsiders are called in to assist.
This is a healthy sign. 1t proves
that parents are awake to the
need Of such training, while at
the same time it points to the
need of more vocations to the
teaching orders.
When one considers higher edu-
cation, however, the stream begins
to thin out. In the parochial
school field it is torrential, while
it becomes but a placid creek in
the greening meadows whence
youths and maidens have HE'D
them to other scenes. True, our
academies and colleges also are
patronized. But the fact is that too
many young people are lured, or
sent, to schools Of higher educa-
ton where their early ideas of
God are given rude shock. Open
defiance Of the Christian ideal is
not practiced; as a rule; but the
force Of ridicule and quiet
sarcasm gradually sinks into the
youthful consciousness until the
foundations Of faith are under.

impact of a wave, but it will yielC

At the beginning of the 'schoo
year Catholic parents would dc
well to make a short meditation
on the meaning Of eternity. They
are responsible for their chill
dren' coming into this world, anc
they will be held to strict accoun
for the launching Of those sam,
children into the maelstron

ambition, worldly pride will avail
naught if the salvation of tn

QUEEN WAS GRATEFUL
WAS CLIENT OF NoTRE DAME DE
LA GARDE-MADE OFFERING AT
SHRINE IN GRATITUDE FOR
KING EDWARDS RECOVERY.

In study on the subject of pilgrim
ages to the shrine of Notre Dame de
la Garde, at Marseilles, La Croix has
revealed a fact hitherto practically
unknown. Among the innumerable
testimonies of gratitude and faith
which adorn it's walls, the famous bas-
ilica contains an ex-voto of unusual
historical interest, bearing the follow
ing inscription:
To Notre Dame de la Garde,
In gratitude for great mercy.
ALEXANDRA
81 January 1905.
This ex-voto was sent to Notre
Dame de la Garde by Queen AleXan-
dra of England, mother Of the present
King George V. The circumstances
were as follows:
When Edward VII was proclaimed
King of England after the death of
Queen Victoria on January %, 1901,
the coronation celebrations were set
for June &c to July 8, 1902 But Ed
ward VII fell i'll and an operation for
appendicitis was suddenly found to be
necessary. The coronation was there
fore delayed and did not take place
until August 8.
In the interval, the British sover-
eigns appealed to Notre Dame de ia
Garde, promising that if Edward VII
recovered, they would make pilgrim
age to the sanctuary of Marseillcs.
The king got well, and the sovereigns
kept their promise.
Queen Procures Statue.
On April 5, 1905, Queen Alexandra
made a first pilgrimage to the shrine
alone. On this occasion she procured
little statue of Notre Dame de la
Garde which she kept in her room.
The following year, at the same Pc
riod, she returned to Marseilles with
Edward VII. The queen first went to
the shrine alone, to see that the eX-
vote was in place. The next day the
royal couple went to the shrine to-
gether, visiting the basilica in detail
and pausing for long time in front
of the eX-voto to which the queen drew
the kings attention.
Before leaving the basilica, the king,
the queen and the persons Of their
| suite signed the pilgrims register

HONOR JUSTICE WHITE

Erection of a statue of the late Ed
ward Douglass White, Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, is provided for in resolution
introduced in the House of Represen-
tatives by Representative Michael J.
Hogan (Rep.) Of New York. The res
olution calls for an appropriation of
100000 for the statue and for the
preparation of the site somewhere in
Washington. The resolution would
create a commission, composed Of the
Secretary of War and the chairmen of
the Senate and House committees on
Library, to supervise the erection of
the statue.

ERECT COLOSSAL FIGURE

San Francisco Business, the weekly
publication of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, in a recent is
sue carries an article proposing the
erection on Yerba Buena Island of a
colossal statue of Franciscan Fa-

Of Liberty in New York Harbor and
present to incoming vessels at San
Francisco Bay picture similar to
that presented in the approach to
New York harbor.
Frank w. Hunter, of San Francisco,
is sponsor for the idea.
