The school vucation season has but another week, and therefore parents should remember that Cath olic education consists not only in teaching a child Its reading, writing and arithmetic, but it also means that tho child must be taught its obligations to God and Its neigh- bor. This Is the reason for the parochial school. Catholic par ents are not doing their full duty by their children if they do not send them to their parish schools. It may mean a little more sacrifice now, but they will be amply repaid for It In years to come by. the prac tical Catholicity of their children. What sorrow can bo compared to that of tho Catholic fathers or mothers who see their offspring drift away from the faith or our fathers? The public school will give your child a good education, but the pa'rochial school will give it a better education, for b'esides giv ing it alb, that tho public school can give it will set a good founda tion for the child's moral structure. The future of every child is in tho b.ands of its parents, whose duty It Is to build the future of their children, not upon the shifting sands of a secular training, but upon the firm rock of a relligous education. BRITAIN'S , H YrOCKISY. In defense of its blacklist the British Government xand press whines that It is wrong for the United States to protest when Eng land is fighting the battles of the world. The returns show that tho British -exports are higher now than in times of peace, yet tho British navy Is being utilized to stop trade between the United States and Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, all neutral countries, John Bull's greed for the world's commerce not being satisfied, and this same greed is rspo'nsdble for the situation. In Europe today. HE MUST GO. Ill health is given as the. reason why Lord Lansdowne Intends to retire from actlvo political life. Shamming Abraham as an excuso for getting out of tho Cabinet, in which he should never have had a portfolio, has nothing new In it. It in some measure accounts for his failure. Lord Lansdowne, however, is not one to "confess failure, nor will ho resign voluntarily while he is able to attend a session of the House. Tho truth is that efforts are being made to force him out of the Cabinet. His presence there is not pleasing to the rank an,d file of the Liberal party, for they see that he has been using his posi tion to wreck Liberal policies rather than to promote that unity of tho nation which is necessary to a successful prosecution of the war, The Liberals are still In- the majority in tho Commons and are chafing at tb prostitution of their political powor to serve tho .Lans downe party ends. The Coalition Government may hang together for a llttlo longer, but It is certain that its friends among tho Liberal rank and f Ho- are few, and no less certain that they would welcome a general election for the purpose of getting rid of tho unnatural alliance between themselves and tho Tories, At any rate, Lord Lans downe must go it the majority of Liberals can accomplish it, and If they com not signs nro not wanting which point to a general election at an early date. CHILD LABOR. Theoretically slavery was abol ished In theso United States In T8&3. The second decade of tho ''twentieth century finds V slavery strongly entrenched In every indus- V.JtriI center. True, between the old and the new slavery, the eco nomist can distinguish points of difference. 'The older Blavery was, confined to Africans; most of tho modern slaves are -white; tha older slavery bore but lightly on tho children; the slavery of 1916 num bers thousands of whllo children, sold to the factory, the mine and the .quarry. More than a quarter of a century ago Leo xill. sept out a protest to the whole world against this infamous traffic. "In regard to children," wrote the Pon tiff, "great car should be taKea not to place them In workshosp and factories until their bodies and mind are sufHolWly mature. For I just as rough weather destroys tke pnlNTrNQ CO., Incorpermled, Publishers .SATURDAY. AUG UST 26, 1916 buds of spring, so too early an ex perience of life's hard work blights tho young promise of a child's powers and makes any real educa tion imposslblct" These words, a complete argument against child labdr, says America? have been forEotten in that mad craze for h .. . hna ben consnlcu ous characterl8tlc ot industrial de velopment in tho United States. ' Sell in the dearest market and buy in tho cheapest" Is tho fiop'hlstlca, dlctato of modorn busI. ness which is responsible for the trade In children. 'For children can be bought cheaply, and organ ized capital cares not if tho divi dends paid to a select circle are wet with the blood of American boys and girls. No decent man can read the story of these child-slaves with out horror and indignation. But In tho figlit against tho continuance of this nefarious trade indignation avails little. The, slave-traders have the advantage of possession; they' can be dislodged only by wise and constitutional means. Ha'd energy like that expended in. Congress been applied to effectlyo State legisla tion the campaign against child labor would now' be nearer victory and the principle of local self-government would have received a valuable and needed indorsement. Tho greatest disturber of the public peaco in this country today Is tho professional secular social worker who would substitute the conclusions" of a pagan code of morals for tho law of Christianity. To combat such is a public duty and, the lessening of their influence Is a real service to religion and the State. Michael Francis Doyle, tho noted Philadelphia lawyer, who directed tho defense of Sir Roger Casement, upon his arrival in New York stated that President Woodrow Wil son had sent a private message to the British Government making a plea for clemency for Sir Roger. Congratulations to Editor and Manager James Nolan and tho Toledo Record, now In its twelfth year. Through his efforts the Record has surmounted many ob stacles and deserves its well earned and creditable standing. Our neighbors, tho Times and Courier-Journal, met with signal dofeat in their effort to bring cdium upon Acting Judge James Reedy. ' Their columns were better loff wlhout the letters thoyiappealed for. England's alliance with Japan Is responsible for the "sneers and open defiance of the rights of this country today. In the event of trouble John Bull plans to back tho Yellow Peril against us. A wrljer In the Baptist World says that he has never found any thing in the Menace that was not true. None are so blind as those who will not see. That Menace explosion seems to have been an unsuccessful attempt at suicide, as viewed by the Buffalo Union and Times. Consider your own faults before those ot others, and much ill-feeling will be done away with. LINCOLN'S COACHMAN.

The Pope Is tho father of all Catholics. Tho Vati can is not only strictly neutral, but also Is extraterritorial." At the meeting of tho Catholic Press Association the Rev. John 'J. Whelan said: "Undoubtedly the dispatch is a palpable He. The Holy Father- Is, -neutral and could never have, issued so unnchtral an order." COLLEGE RETURNS.
