before were there any negro
women. It is the woman
that makes the social stand

women. If it had ever hap

that the white women present
at ofhiioal receptions had
treated the negro men lpresent
as social equals and compaui

been horrified: but nothing
of the sort ever occurred.
When, then, two negro wo

Congress Adjourned.
''he fifty-seventh congress
has adjourned sine die. Its
last session ended by limita
tion last Wednesday noon, its
closing days having been cha.
racterized by bitter party
strife brought about abut by the
arbitrary rulings and conduct
of the Republican majority in
unseating a Democratic meim
her of the House from Mis
msourri in the abhsnse of a
quorum and in violation of
all rules.
Following this arbitrary
and outrageous act of the
majority, the l)emocrats orga
nized a filibuster which they
maintained to the end. We
believe the minority did well i
thus to protest in the most
vigoroui.9 and effective manner
against the outrage perpetrat.
ed by thile majority on their
rights. They have thus call
ed tI;e attention of tile coun
try mst pointedly to the ty
ratinical and high handed
methods of the Republican
majority in the lower house
of congress.
Mr. Richardseon, the leader
of the minority was right in
saying:
"1 do not consider that the
man who strikes the first blow
is the aggressor, but" the man
who make, it necessary. We
are simply defending our
rights, showing our oppasition
to suih an unlicerdelted act,
as that by which the Republi
(clls l.1 tilliPatE.(! a iiiinhl er of 1
the House, Whleni 110 q(llOrulml
was |)resetit."
After all, under the Reed
rules now governing the
hloulse, that was all that the
mi(Irity could do and it a
would have been ree'reant to I
its duty if it had done it.
Mr. Richardson thus sums

"Whether yoir will place

the vital question.
i For no nation can prosper

'This is in the words of the
Archbishop, a question of
both morals and religioon.
"The dangers that threaten
our civilization may be traced
to the family for the root of
the commonwealth is in the
homes of the people.
"The social and civil life
springs from the domestic life
of mankind. The official life
of a nation is ordinarily the
reflex of the moral sense of
the people.
"The morality of public ad
ministration is to be gauged
by the moral standard of the
family. The river does not
rise above its source."
As His Eminence became
spehcifo ln i charges against
the pc~lie jy evil, his voice
became mde earnest, his man-'
ner emphatic.
"The growing tendency,"
'he continued, "in the men
and women of the world to
avoid marriage and its respon.
sibilities is wrong from both
the moral and religious view.

view marriage as a sacrament,
and realize that a large faro
ily is a bleasing.
"To defeat nature in ful
filling the purpose of marriage
is as criminal as to commlit
murder. This moral law.
strict, unbending. is alone re
cognized by the Church. It
governs the whole question of
marriage, and the sacrameunit
would certainly not be ad
ministered to any one who
violated the sacred ends of
marriage. Such a one lives
in a state of sin. No excuse
is possible-neither financial
reasons nor any other. The
question of enconomics has
no place, should have none,
