contained therein were found to be no
scurrilous, so abusive and derogatory
to a great many of the people of oitr
country, that there was nothing for
the department to do but live up to
the law and exclude the paper from
the privileges of the mail.
But without the Scriptures, the Gos-
pel. the Lives of the Saints, without
a Catholic magazine or paper, it Ik a
spiritual desert.

our national idols; millions worship
at its shrine. But the idol and the
shrine too often corrupt the worabl]*-
pers.
We must counteract the evil. The
newspaper must be made an instru-
ment of good. "In vain." saM Pope
Plus X, "will you found missions and
build schools, if you are not able to
wield the offensive and defensive
weapons of a loyal Catholic press." A
Catholic paper is needed In every sin-
gle Catholic home, to bring with it n
Catholic atmosphere, a Catholic tone.
We judge a man’s taste by the pictures
on his walls, or the bric-a-brac scat-
tered about his room. We can tell It
ins easily from the books, the papers
i he reads. A Cuthollc family without
the Crucifix or the Sacred Heart en-
„ ... „ ; throned in the place of honor, t<»
nilei‘s, starving things. The wild[
beast of the mountain fastness is more '
welcome and comfortable than they. :
Clouds of hatred have not broken over -
the brute's head: passtons of Ignoble [
men have not been converted Into
demons to hunt and torture him. I
Hatred and base passions are direct-!
ed in full violence against defence-1
less men and women. No force is-
left to expend upon the beast. The1
work of infamy has been wrought up-
on them, the priests and Sisters of
Mexico. Well, too, has it been done!
The bones of many a murdered priest
are whitening in the land beyond the
Rio Grande: the hot, scalding tears of
outraged Slaters, spouses of Christ,
have fallen on Mexican soil; their!
sighs and groans have gone up to
i heaven, pleading unto God for justice.!

the world. The newspaper is one cf g^r humanity " commonwealth, "not only contained [
our national idols; million* worship — attacks upon the Catholic Church, but
was disgustingly immoral in tone."
and that the Postmaster General find-
ing the passage marked tn violation
of the Post and Telegraph Law,
promptly "decided that the postofflee
should no longer be the means of
distributing it." Are our laws so lax
that such distribution to not in vio-

[ A long-drawn cry of distress has
. gone up from many ruffering people.
Men and women are in agony, and
they are pleading for help. The fire
at tribulation to upon them, and they
are calling for assistance. They are
not cowards, these victims of perse-
cution: nor yet soft creatures, accus-
tomed to dress in pttfpttf and fine lin-
en and to fare daintily. They h*vo
lived a hard, heroic life at work and
prayer and suffering. They were
brought up in the school of trial: they |
were inured to all but Inhuman pains.
i Their cry then to not a hysterical
I shriek born of irresolution, nor to it a
whine from tricky, querulous lips. It
to from out hearts ground Ln the mill
<d agony, crushed in the press of ty-
ranny. It comes to us freighted with
sobs and tears and blood, this plea of
