In anothe'r pa't !( t. issue there appears a letter under the captin 1n ",Letters from :h,. I1."' .rom one of our substantial citizens who enu 3erates a nunt: r : ;upru\t ments that have been made in our district rl baring the past ' . .ars and as THE Ill-ItALI has always been a con- a sistent booster and :ita, moIre than ready to give credit where it belongs,' rad especially a tn e do we care to mention these improvements for the fact that i: h e ýien intimated that TIHE IIERIAL.D has been doing a some knocking. During the la-t t ,o or three years THE HERAILD has had a great deal to say regarr ::;g ouar present ferry system, and in all of our com- b nents we have 1.eplorel the conditions under which th4 ferry franchise P wa sold some t welv., years ago. When the present franchise was con sidered, It was made during a councilmanic administration, and while the , cemmittee on "ferries and landings" of the council gave the Algiers people r a hearing in the matter the conditions which were put in this franchise I were the best that c., uld be obtained at that time and it was a good com- i promise in plea.-'ng .-ome seventeen different councilmen, all of whom had some interest in the matter. With the expiration of the present franchise we are certain that .Mayor Behrman will do the same for Algiers in this s respect as he has in some of the other big things which have been given r to our town in the la-t few years. Algiers to-day may point with considerable amount of pride to the S necent completion of an eight mile macadam road which was built from k he Naval Station to the Stanton Plantation at a cost of between sixty- 1 gwand seventy thousand dollars. and in this vicinity also we might men ton the construction of an additional drainage canal to be a part of the Algiers Drainage System to cost twenty thousand dollars. Algiers was the first district in the city of New Orleans to receive its swimming pool is connection with the playgrounds. These improevments also costing cany thousands of dollars. This district also was the first to receive an dacinerating plant costing more than ten thousand dollars, a new school building in the Naval Station section costing more than thirty-five thou sand dollars. For these improvements the Algiers people are no doubt C grateful and by more boosting of our district and less knocking we may rest assured of getting further improvements of material benefit to our a Meple. C BLIND SUNDAY NOVEMBER II If you have never given to charity, if you have never given to any worthy cause, now is the time to open up your heart and your pocket book for the benefit of the blind of Louisiana. Next Sunday, November 11. will be known as blind Sunday through- I oat the state and contributions will be asked through every church to I belp along the worthy and dependent blind of the state of Louisiana. "The Louisiana Commission for the Blind" is the name of the organ batlon which is taking hold of this meritorious work. Help it along in sy way you can. If the writer of this article had the control of the dis tributlon of a million dollars to be given to charity he would give every t eat of it toward helping the blind as we believe they are the most unfor- 1 tmnate people in the world. Just think of the hundreds of blind children is the state of Louisiana who could be made happy by small contributions. If you do not go to church on November 11 send your contribution by some one who does go. WHY AND WHY NOT. The Y. M. C. A. war budget for the ensuing year is $35,000,000. Thus far 2540 employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad have volun- t tered for army and navy service. General Verkhovsky, the new Russian War Minister, twelve years ago was a chamber page to the Czar. A new organization composed of veterans of this war is to be called "The Grand Army of Civilization." Our production of copper, aggregating $450,000,000, is ten times larger than that of any other nation and 63 per cent of the world's output. The American Express Company has established a precedent in labor dreles by replacing drafted men employees with their women relatives. To increase war efficiency by reducing the rate of industrial casual e, more than 3,000 employers of labor recently assembled in New York City in the largest safety congress ever held in this country. A Kansas farmer offered to give a wagon load of corn the members of hi church if they would gather it and devote the proceeds to a revival. They did so, realized $40, and a successful revival followed. That the rise of the United States as a strong military and naval power will sound the death-knell of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance is the opiion of Dr. Shimanani, a well-known Japanese publicist of Tokio. n - n I Catechism (lasses. AlN the catechism classes are now e ht fll swing. Fr. Larkin has charge b i theL boys and girls of the solemn oUmaaion class.

All these classes meet every Mon ? Tesday. Thursday and Friday t at . m. 0sI Wednesday there will be a eelal Mass for all the children of 6 parish at 8:15. , 7'.

Three masses elebrated at 5. 7 and 9. and received communion at the *'t masses. t the 9 o'clock mass the chil headed by the Altar boys 13 procession to the two ne Verret street. Already many people had preceded the pro- 9 cession and when the blessing of the graves began the cemeteries were well filled with silent worshippers. . Very Rev. Fr. barkin. S. M., blessed T first the graves of the Marist Fa- a thers buried here, and the graves % of the rest of the faithful departed. a Rev. Fr. Cassagne. S. M., deliv- r ered the oration of the day, in which b he explained the catholic doctrine of the dead. and made an appeal for , help for the suffering ones gone F ahead. Fr. Cassagne was as usual t r clear and forceful and at times even , s pathetic. His whole heart was in his words and many a tear flowed S in remembrance of the dear onesp who have left this world. The effects of the eloquent preacher's word was ' clearly seen in the pious and relig- t ious attitude of all present as the procession resumed its course 0 around the cemeteries. Men bare headed marched with religious re spect answering the prayers that were said for the benefit of their beloved ones. y The cemeteries were at their best. t Our devoted care taker's labors were r in evidence, for everything was in perfect condition. He had every r reason to be proud of his place. 2 Several new tombs were in evi dence, amongst which was that of a late Inspector of Police J. W. Rey- f nolds. It is a credit to his family to have erected such a beautiful s Y monument to one who was loved by a 0 all, the despatch with which this was s 11 carried out is to be commended, for so many people so easily forget their o dead and leave the place of their burial without monument for years. This year's services were the most impressive and most orderly in the d history of the church. All Souls day was appropriately celebrated, both by the clergy and the laity. Nine Masses were said from 5 to 7 and large numbers as- 1 e sisted at each. The solemn requiem 1 Mass was sung at 7. ly Week Days: Masses: Monday, Tuesday. Thursday. Friday, 6, 6:30. 7:00.

He also said that colonies of fee ry ble-minded persons can be made self supporting, and that this seems to of er a hopeful means of providing for a re greatly increased number of cases at a minimum expense to the state. Here is a suggestion that should not be neg lected. The economic aspect of the nt matter-the fact that by tending to I ly make the insane self-supporting the plan would lighten the burden upon taxpayers-is important; but even this is secondary to the probability that oe cnpation would be highly beneficial to patients. There is a movement in modern life known as internationalism. Its de votees put the flag of humanity above the flag of their country. In effect such people are in danger of seeking to do good for a great cause by doing violence to a smaller cause, says Chris tian Herald. The progress of civill ation, the onward and upward march of humanity has not been by such a Smethod. The end of the command ment is not love alone, but "love out of a pure heart and of a good con science and of faith anfelgned." Chris tian love is love derived from and gild I ed by a rational faith and duty. The truest Internationalism does not abol ish nationalism. Genuine patriotism does not forbid friendship. Beal Sfriendship does not interfere with famr fly love. Unselfish family love is nev er in collision with the love that erowns Jesus Christ the Lord u a.
