T ile b a rbnric or patri;tret.ial fo rm of government can­

not be proper fv r a state because the right of govern ­

tbe father to govern his child, parental authority itself

The parent is not the m a k er but the generator of his

off:;pring. Generation is a secondary cause and is sim­

ply tlte reprocl uctilln o r ex plication of the species. The ownership o r pro pri etary right and consequently the

authority o r the f<t tlt er over hi s child is therefore incom­plete.

But grnnting the ~ponta.neous rlevelopmeot. of spe­cies, whence comes the right. to govern? Certainly not from concretP. 11:t t nre for then the govern,,r nnrl the governerl wnulr1 be id en Lical which is a contr!lclict.ion, an impossil,ility .

Positivists s:ty lha.t the right to govern comes from a. law inherent in nature. If they mean the intelligent, mor­al corle, commonly" callerl conscience, they must admit an all-wise Creator for this law is not inlterent in con­crete nature. lt is the Infinite Reason of the Creator communic.1ling His will to Hi s creatures. Government

·would then originate nvt in natura but in natur~'s God. If they m~an Llle regular physical ch.'!nges which are laws imposed on nature by the Creator we have again the ideJ,tity of governor anrl governed as stated above.· 1'he5e physical changes or laws imposed on nature are not intelligent; t LlE-y are only the actualization of a germ ci·eation.

Nut in .positivism then, do we find :t solution to ott!' problem. PosiL.ivi'sm is contradictory in pllilosuplly ami degrading t(> unm~nily. . .

Po!itic:d 'Xriters o,ft.he Middle nge,s, · intent on esta­blislling ceutr'llized :power ~s . a ~·emedy fur tlle evils ot feudalism , asserteri thn:t govemment derives its right from the :mmediate and express appointment of God. Wishillg to estalilislt regal u.uLhority on a religi­ous lMsis they ex11ggerated principles and cOJl vertecl royal power into an absorbent force tending t'). concen­Lrate in itself all other forc-es. Monarchy thus . los t its true charn.cter which consists .in Llaving just limit-s, and drifted ou towards oriental . despotism in which the governing power was evet'yLhing, the peoplt' anrl their affairs uuthing.

ThP. cllurch has been clCCU~~d Of teaching these prin­ci pies uf Jespotism. If so '·'they would certaiuly appear iu the writings of · hrr doctors or theologians. '\Ve find on the contr:;ti'Y, · the most enlightened opinions on the subjeet in St. Tllomas, Suarez, Bell:trmine, Ligonri anrl in our own illo1strious Ba,lrnes.

The doctrines of the Catholic Church on government have been conuemncrl without being hea1·d or examin­ed, her enemies copying one another's cal umnies with­ont referring to the real sonrces where they might easily have fouud the truth.

Tlle ad vaca tes of this theory hold that the right to command is vested in the superior and ea.n not belong to the communit.y since it is not superior. In one sense the commnnity is 11 0t. superior to itself and in another sense it i:;. The community considered collectively i ~ ecr tninly superior to · i't<>elf considered indi viriun.lly; regarded as an organic wllole it can com ouunicnte it~ superiority or delegate ils authority in trust to an individual.

Power resides in the community by llatural right, but in tltc inrlividualrulel' only by .human and dele­gate\1 right. The positive law being taken away tllere is nu reason why one m :tn sl.wuld govern rather than an­otheJ'.

Society in it~ pcrfectiou i.e. in the state, must have the power of self-preservation independently of individuals. It must therefore pu«se~s· s upreme power immediately. No individual and no family ca.n presume upon having directly from God the governmeut of a people.

But it were uut meet that sut:h a meuwt·aul e year sltould mark o11ly one victory; o1· that Ol l r people should be forgetful , of other. snccesses. :\ u t' was jt thus. The closi11g days of this year witnessed another celebration which "vas a so nrce of great joy to a large part of our people a11J a spectacle of ·interest to many others. A nother centennial has dawned upon us, that of the permanent foundation of the Catholic Chnrch in this country. In this great e1·cnt is fuud fur thought. Here \Verc 1r oticed triumphs

secoud only to the Repllh lic nuder which the Church fonnd shelter.

I.et us take a hasty l'eview of the formatiu11 ao,d growth of the Catholic Church in the Gnited States . When ,, one huudreJ years ago, Fath!'lr John Oarroll was appointed Bish1>p, he found the Ohut·eh without orgauization ; . the few Catholics w.ere scattered ov.er an imm.ense- territory, aud \\·e1·e persecnted with a'll the f nry that uigotry could snggt>st. His jm·i,$dietion extended O\'er the whole country; he had about thirty priests and there were upwards of 30,000 Catholic~. The fi rst thought of Bishop Carroll was to secure priests and teachers for his flock. H e iudueed the l::; ulpicians to open a Semi11ary for the trainiHg of yonng men for t lte pries t.ltood. They did so and chose Baltimot·e fo1· its site. CommtmitieR of N uno came ow:rfrom E urope and opened schools in various: partr-; of the con nt•·y. The great French Revolution was ragi ng at this time and priests were forced to lly from their cou ntt·y aud seek refnge here. They found a good ft-ieml in Dishup Carroll and t.h1w rer1Jered hiru g reat ass ist<:wce. Dubois first bishop~f New Y or·k and Olltln;rlls of Boston at•e n ame~; too well 1JU\\' to need J'ur tl1er mention.

Bishop Ca t:t·oll soon l1ad the satisfaction of seei ug the Clllirch get a firm footlwld in this country and thong!1 e"e u at l1i s death which occnred iu 1815, the Chun :h co ul d ltardl;v· uc :mid to l;e perfeetly estab_ li shed, yet, the hold i t had and the success it. euj uyed were in a g reat 1u ea~ ·ure du e to the energy of the first American B ishop.

'\Vhat ll!ie to reco unt tir e <~tnwules and victories · 00 '

111any are uow li,·i 11g wlro saw the Clrnrch pass through her worst ordeah; and who 11 0\\' rejoice with her in her tri1rtrrplt . A few \\'OI'd s will sum ~lp. In one cent ur·y the Olum:h lms inereased h om 30,000 to 12, UOO,UOO O J' from a proportion of oue in every 100 to one in every fhe of the aetual popu lation aud thio in the face of e1·ery obstacle.

If then the Church has l1acl such a marked' snce-t·ss in the past centnry, when circumstances so conspired against her , what may we not hope for in the next hnncii·ed years, uow that she is so firmly established and numbers so many faithful chi ldren.

tions, great ·will be the harvest in the future,

for the Church •vhich his done so much for man

and for this Republic. It has seemed a place here

that will endure while there i~::~ a creat11re to eousole or a soul to sa,·e.

~'

With this issue we m:k: ~ chauge in the form of ~­the J ouHNAL which we think will add to its appea~ t·-

~•l. a~ICe beside;; giving more ro~m for editorial ,~·or~.~ There are always many questiOns that coJUe \ntlun fhe ra11ge of a College paper and which cannot be

treated in a few short notes. This as well as other

reasons Jed us to institute the pre~::~ent change which

we are snre will be satisfactory to onr readers.

* * * The class on Government lately organized is one

from which we can reasonably expect rn nch good.

The seieuce of government is a deep study. JVIany

theories are afloat as to what practical government is.

As tlieories they are good; in practice they fail, because they arc not s ttiteJ to tho character of the nation

they were intended to assist. France is testing tlti ~ . Forms of governmeHt have been tried which

although good enough in themselves were far hom s1ti ted to the natme of t.ite French people. If onr own

conlltry enjoys tl1e prosperity it does, it is owing to

nothing else than to the rightgovern 1I1ent properly applieJ. No o11e willl>e a better citizen than he

who properly unde rstands the government nnder :which he lives. Thi s then onght to be our object in

pursuing snch a stndy: to learn thoroughly the im­

portance ofgovernment and of our own in particular,

that knowing it well we may respect it more, and tlt us become better citize11s.

* * * pTYLE IN WRITING 1s se lf-expression , the seal of one's soul upon the written page. - If that seal of self be not elaborated to meet the require­

ments of a:sthetic rectitude it displeases th e refined

taste of critics and provoke ~::~ censure. Therefore must

we in thonght dressing, as in sel£-clo tl1in g avoid

any natnral carelessness or the fanciful extravagan­ces of untrained faculties and always conform our ­selves to the dictates of sound taste.

* * * OUR DELEGATES to the Catholic Centennial at Baltimore, Rev. G. 1L Legris and Rev. E. L. Rivard, are expected home to-day.

Continued from page 31. God through the Pope found some adherents during the Middle Ages. This system is a development of the pa,tria rehal model in which tbe pa,rent or cbief was priest as well as prince. The Egyptians and other nations of antiquity held a moditi.cation of the same system for their rnler:; were ex officio bigh·priests of the nation.

Pnpal supremacy in temporals extends only to the feud:~l domain 0f the pontiff anct is entirely distin<:t fro~~~ spiritmd supremacy. The church herseli recognizes this distinction tor f,lJe tea<:hes that infidel!:; may have

:4 • '

J egitim~te ,govermncmt under the uatural Jaw and that :~ll the sul~jeots ot snob government are bound by the duty of obedieqce.

. How · extravagant, how delusive, how absurd are these theories. We should learn thence to be mindtul of our inRbility to cope with questions which transcend nature :tnd to seek their solution in their proper sphere revelat-ion. Chevalier.

THE MINIM'S LUNCHEON

One of the most pleasant events which occured on St. Viateur's Day wa~ the lnncheon tendered to the

-,T. VIATEUR'~ COLL.l<Xi.!l~ JOUH.NAL.

Minims and their friends by their prefect, Rev. Bro. Dionne and F ather G. M. Legris. At four o'clock the members of the Minim Department gathered in their uew recreation ball. Here a scene from Fairy Land met theh· view. The large ha ll, which is a hanrlsomely fi­nished apartment in itself, was additionally beautified by graceful fes too ns of bunting and eYergreens. A long the wall~ were growing plants which form ed a perfect bank of ftowers. Besides this there was a profusion of cu t ftowers resting upon small side tables placed in eacb corner of the room. the table decorations were simple but elegant. In the center of each. table was a pyramid of roses resting upon a glass center piece. The Menu was delicious. Sweet meats of all kinds were served . After eyery-one bnd partnkcn to his satisfnc­t iou, Rev. President Marsile nro:;:e a ud upon the pRrt of the hosts presente<l the crown of the "Minims' Cake'' to Master Bernard O'Connor, who wns weariug the Good Conduct Medal. After this, toa~ L:l 1•ere in order Rev. President acting as toast-master . Rev. C. P. W al­ters R. D. of Lafayette Ind., responded to the toast, "0nr Little Boys," Rev. P. J. O'Reilly R. D. of D an­ville, Ills., responded to "Recreation of our Ones.'' Rev. J. P. Dore of Chicago, Ills., represented "Our for­mer Minims." Rev. H. Meissner of Peru, Ind ., handled "How to b.ecome Great Men. All of Llle toasts were well deliveretl and proved interesting to the hearers. The repast over, a short time was spent in social converse after which the guests departed. The wbole Hffttir was one of the most enjoyable events that has ever taken place at St. Viateur's and to Brother Dionne and Fa­ther Legris do we extend our congmtulations ancl vutc them hosts most generous.

Those wbo enjoyed tlte luncheon with the Minims were . Revs. E. P. Walters of Lafayet te, Ind., P. J. O'Reilly of Danville, Ills., H. Meissner of Peru, Ind., J. P. Dore of Chicago, Ills., J. L.

LI1'ER A.RY N OTES. "8t. Nicholas" for N ovember commences a n ew voh:une,

and abounds with good things for the little ones. It main_ tains the high standard 1t has always held.

"A short Cut to the 'l'rue Church" by Hev. Father Ed­mund Hill C. P. is a concise argument addressed to all who believe in the divinity o(Christ and the inspirations of the gospels showi.ng that the logical result of t heiT belief is the Church of I{ome. Tbe writer undertakes to reinove from t ile path of the serious inquirm; four mountains-t~e pope, t ransubstantiat ion, the confessional, and the immaculate conceptiom Ali those he claims are based upon scriptura1 texts, which he cites freely. The book is clearly written and there i£ no mistaking its meaning. ·

Chica,c;o H emld,-"Lectnres on E nglish L iterature " is the title of an excel­

lent work just published by Maurice Francis '.Egan, L . L . D· Tlte principal nwrit of t l1is work is the wisdom ·which the author shows in discriminat ing between trne and false lite-,- J

r ature, anrl it is for this reason that the book should -be ( · recommended to all young persons who desire to att.ain a good, forcible, and elegant E nglish style. In the tirst chapter the author says that literature is one of the principle factorsin life; and in the next chapters he makes some observations on the literary influence of Clutucer, Southwell and sevt!ral other English wri~ers . But t he most valuable lectures in· the book are those on "Aestlw,tics" and "Li terature and Man­ners;" for here we fi nd Mr. Egan in his tntfl eLaracter as a writer.

If so, you can go by the lYi onon Route via Louisville aml Mammoth Cave, or Cincinnati and Chattanooga, Binning­ham, Montgomery, Mobile an Ll Ute gulf coast for the same that will take yon thro ugh the dreary, uninhabited Missis­sipi swamps ; we are conHdent you cannot select another line to the South enj oying half' the advantages that are possessed by tbe :Mon on Route ancl its son them connections.

N o one should think of going s6nth without visiting the }',{am moth Cave, the great na.turaJ wonder of this continent . So much has been written of this worlll famous wonder tha.t i t is impossible to say anything new in regard to it. It can­n ot be described ; its (•a.verns must be explored, its darkness felt, its beauties seen, to be appreeiated or r ealized. It is the greates t curiosity- Niagant not excepted. Or, F lorida ward, pass en route over the old Historical Battle F ields along the line of the I'V. & A. or t !H' K ' I' . V . &; G. Hailw::~~ys.

F rom Mobile to New Orleans (141 miles) t lte ride along the gulf coast is alone worthy the en tiro cost of the whole trip. In full sight of t he wa,y, past Ocean t:lprin gs, Mississippi City, Pass Christi<m, Hay i:3t. Louis <UHl Bean voir, the home of J eff Davis.

·when you decide to go south make up your ri:l.iml to ravel over the line tlwt pr.sses through the best country and gives you the best places to stop over. This is emphat ic· ally the Monon Route, in · connection with the Louisville and Nashville, and the Cincinnati Southern Hail ways, Pnll­man palace sleepers aml pala.ce coaches, double daily trains. The best to Cincinnati , Louisville, New Orleans. or F lorida.
