COCHRAN ON CATHOLiCISM
The Noted New York orator states His
Position In AN Address.


Position la AN Address.
NEW York, May l5.--Last night at
the opening of the Catholic education
al exhibit at the Grand Central palace,
after Archbishop Corrigan had de-
livcred an address, Congressman
Bourke Cochran began his speech.
"To declare" said he, that the
Catholic church is hostile To the re-
public is to declare that the mother is
hostile to her offspring. Those who
tell us that the Catholic church and
its educational system is hostile to
this government must speak n false.

What the church is doing to-day in
the parochial schools is just the same
as she did in ages gone by. l believe
the time has come when Catholics
should assert themselves and say that
they above all others are the men
whose training and faith compel them
to be live citizens of this republic"
After speaking of the loyalty of the
Catholics to the republic turning
toward the archbishop and advancing
with forefinger ourstretched, Mr.
Cochran declared with impassioned
eloquence that he would accept the
teaching of the church from His
Grace with the utmost reverence, and
continued. while his voice rose until
1T echoed through the big hall, maxi
ing the raiters ring, But if the day
should ever come when from a Cath
Ollie pulpit you utter one word hostile

tell you that if such language falls
from your lips it will be heretical.
You will be false to the republic ami
false to the church that placed the
consecrated oil upon your hands for
the blessing of your children"
A subdued murmur of astonish-
ment ran through the hall, quickly
followed by great burst OF applause.

Woods took the women's part in court,
thereby renewing old ill-feeling. Today
the two men and Woods beat Goodwin
horribly, bruising him badly and frac-

~ for the vast manufacturing interests
dependent on this trade. the seat of the
Brazilian civil war is / 800 miles south
of US, and SO it IS not likely to affect the
caoutchouc interests, as it has done the
coffee trade The caoutchOuc business,
which makes Para what it is, is in the
hands Of few people, who constitute
sort Of syndicate. and the top sawyers
roll up fortunes very rapidly. There is
q good deal in the caoutchOuc industry
worth slzetching IN its salient points.
CaOutchauc is found in the milky
juices Of many trees, but the most re-
markable IS from the cachucu Of Brazil
and Central America. The valleys +
the great streams here are marked by
OverpOWering beauty and swarm with
countless varieties Of animal and vege
table life. The traveller cuts his way
creepers, cathedral vaults garlanded with
countless blossoms, to the more open
spaces of the ssseringaes7' or caoutchouo
forests, often spreading for miles not far
from the river banks. The india rubber
tree thrives best where the alluvial fats
are annually submerged by the floods
Here the camps Of the ssseringueir0s, o.
rubber collectors, are found.
The low matched novels are made SAT
from the freshets by raising the floors
about 10 feet on wooden piles Here the
small proprietor lives with his native
laborers, or mojos, with nothing to do IL
the wet season except to chatter with
the ague and fight countless insect pests,
the most venOmous in the world, his sole
pleasure being the everlasting cigarette.
To the more remote riverine tracts the
m0jos, or half civilized Indians, on whom
the industry is dependent, cannot be
persuaded TO go. The wild sayages Of
the far interior are not only cruel, but
cannibal IN their habits, and the richest
rubber section Of Brazil Is still virgin for
this reason.
With the coming of the dry season the
ssseringueiro'' at once begins his attack
on The eaoutchouc giants, which fre-
quently stand more than 100 feet ia
height. The workman chops a hole ia
the tree. and cOnduits Of bamboo convey
the milk white sap which exudes into
clay dishes. The collector transfers
the sap to the common receptacle of
huge turtle shell. Now begins the smok-
