If there are any who really think the Catholic church forbids its that to read the Bible, let them members Catholic bookseller's for ask at any a Catholic Bible. Perhaps they are that the Bible has been unaware transmitted to them by the monastic copyists of the ages before the printthat the church has aling press; ways striven to preserve the purity of and to encourage Biblical the text studies; that Catholic vernacular preceded the Protestant, and versions that selections from the Scriptures read in church in the vernacular. are editions must also have the Catholic approval of a Bishop a safeguard of translation and against errors comment. FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. It will soon be school time.

'The will be over in less vacation days than two weeks. The serious matof seeing to the education of the ter hearts and minds of boys and girls, and young women, will young men confront parents and guardians. Don't make the mistake of letting consideration tempt you to send any those in your care to a non-Catholic school. In our day and age, where and how and by whom a child is educated is more important than ever. Send them where their hearts and souls will get consideration as well their mental development.

This as Is the advice given 1 by one of cur exchanges, and it would be profitable to Catholics if they followed it in spirit and letter. NO CATHOLIC PARTY. Archbishop Keane, of Dubuque, speaking on Sunday at the Federation convention in Milwaukee, declared that Catholics have no intention whatsoever to form a politica! We have no friends to reward and no enemies to punish, so as to make us flock by ourselves in the pursuit of self interests. We do not desire to be separated from the great body of American citizens. We are free to be Democrats, Republicans or Progressives, every one according to his own convictions, and we are per: fectly free to follow out any purely political principle or policy now before the American people without let or hindrance from anybody.

In the few matters which involve faith Or morals we should be guided by Catholic principles, but in the wide field of public affairs entirely secular evCatholic may do and vote as he ery himself thinks to be best for the public welfare. We want no Catholic party and we hope that there will be no Methodist party, no Hebrew party, no denominational party of any kind. We Americans should not split up on religious lines. The constitution requires that there shall be no religious test for public office. The religious line therefora should not be drawn for or against any one.

The question to be asked about candidates should be these only: Is he competent? Is he trustworthy? Whether he is a Baptist or a Presbyterian, a Mason or a Knight Templar, a member of the B'nai Brith or a member of the K. should not be asked. The principles of civil and religious liberty should be observ34 and enojyed by all American citizens. SENSIBLE. Miss Minnie Bronson, noted for her womanly sense, discussing the question, "Is woman suffrage a healthy thought?" expresses the belief that a large proportion of those who advocate woman suffrage do so because they regard it as part of a general political progress, the last stage in a democratic form of government, and to any one who does not allow herself to think what is involved in the assertion that woman is entitled to the franchise because man has secured it this view seems sufficient for a whole hearted support of the cause.

But before such a stupendous governmental change as woman suffrage is accepted as a part of progress and democracy it is wise to determine first whether it is progressive in a beneficent sense of the word, whether it may not be diverging instead of progressing, even though it may seem to be merely the extension of a part already tried. Also if a political principle, whether democratic or not, carried to ite logical conclusion, lands women in a state of society which would not be a good state of society, then the principle, even if democratic, had better not be carried to such a conclusion.

of progress and democracy does not establish that proceeding as salutary. It is quite possible that the extension of the franchise to women, with all that it implies, may have such far reaching consequences that they will some day stampede back on their track in an effort to undo what they have done in a blind pursuit of progress. RESULT NOT FEARED. Honest Protestants should take the Catholic church at what she professes to be in her authoritative confessions, not try to make her out what she is not. We judge of the law of the land by its statutes.

We even take its own tribunals' interpretation of these statutes. Why, then, controvert the teaching of the Catholic church from any but her sources? She does not deceive, she does not want to conceal anything, she can give a reason and the best of reasons for her faith. Why, then, take the testimony of her enen tes about her, and why, in decency's name, permit the weeds she has thrown from her garden to speak for her life, teachings or aspirations? It is not fair--Protestants want to be fair, we think. Let them only consider this honest invitation then and examine what the Catholic, church is honestly. We do not fear the result.

These declarations, made by our neighboring contemporary, the Christian Year, are truthful and deserve widespread publicity for the good they will effect. There is good reason to believe that Germany will not be biased by England's action in retusing to exhibit at the Panama Exposition. This belief is based on the fact that already many German manufacturers have given assurance that they will take part with exhibits. With its last issue the Toledo Record began its ninth year, and congratulations are extended Manager and Editor James Nolan. The Record has well deserved the liberal support accorded it, which should continue and increase.

There was a large atten lance in. all the Catholic churches in Louisville on the Feast of the Assumption, which shows that our people are bued with the true spirit of religion. Last Sunday Cardinal Rampolla passed his seventieth birthday. GARDEN PARTY WITH SUPPER.

There will be good music and other amusements in plenty entertain both young and old. one who enjoys trip to the country with the prospect of good company and a bounteous supper to make the evening pleasant will do well to attend this garden party Tuesday.
