reform instituted. Colonel Miller ia
vored an investigation by members Of

Charta we have added religious freedom
Where did we get it? Not from the thirteen
original colonies. at the time of the Revolu-
ton nine of the thirteen had tests again IL
Catholics Even in Pennsylvania laws dis
eliminated against US. Au that time 1t had
not dawned upon the colonists that all men
were equal and should be free to worship as
Catholic colony of Maryland. After the Revo-
luton many of the colonies did not repeal
their religious laws. The religious freedom
clause in the constitution came as a necessity
for recognizing the debt due TO Catholics for
their part in the war, to the Spanish and
French who aided in various ways and as
concession to the large nop-religious element
OF which Jefferson was the head. The names
of our forefathers were prominent in the

This wave of anti Catholic bigotry that has
swept this land for few years has spent its
force. We cannot help our growth, as we are
only following the laws of nature. All this
controversy has done good. Many now have
their eyes opened and have acknowledged
that they are sorry that they ever took part
in so ignoble controversy. Others have been
set thinking and have come to the conclusion
that we were part and very worthy part of
those who laid the foundation of this great
Republic.
Because we worship in different churches
shall we meet in hate on the street and in our
places OF business? Should We pass each other
by and not extend the hand OF friendship? No
rather let us look upon the honest ana ylr.
tuous and good OF all classes as being part OF
one great brotherhood and then we can sing
the great civic song:
Ny country 'tis OF thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee sing.

request of the Catholic Ladies' Aid Soci-
ETY., lectured at the Marlborough Theater
this evening on the Catholic church and
progress.
John Lynch, ex-grand president OF the
i Y. M. l., introduced those who contrib
uted to the entertainment of the evening
and on the platform were majority of the
priesthood OF the county.
Rev. Father King was introduced as
chairman OF the evening. In few we'll
chosen sentences he introduced the Most
Rev. Archbishop Riordan.
During the past few years we have been
charged with many things, said the Arch
bishop. We have been charged with being
enem les of government. of liberty, of eduee,
ton, and more especially of progress. Most of
these have been refuted, but the idea still
hangs among non-Catholics that we are still
the enemies OF progress. While 1t is generally
admitted that the Catholic church was .
potent factor in civilization when humanity
was in Its cradle, whenever that was still il is
stated that we have outlived our usefulness
and are thing OF the past In all parts of the
world to-day we are called names signifying
obstrucuonlsts. In English we are said TO be
tramontane-they live beyond the mcuntsin

Progressionists, reformers, scientists; and there

so with the word progress. Take the word re-
form, which was given to the sixteenth CEN
fury movement and which was called the Refor-
nation. Thousands of refOrmers did nor
know what the Reformation was still thew fol-
lowed their leaders blindly. 1t is like the dry
at this day OF gold and silver, and not one in
5000 knows what the terms mean Now take
the nineteenth century. The word inscribed
upon its banner is the word Progress You
cannot say anything more valuable of a mar
or city than 10 say he or il sis progressiyeH
The great cry OF non-Catholics is that the
Catholic church is a non-prOgressive church
and that ii is an enemy to all advanced modern
civilization. 1t has been charged that the
Pope has issued edict that it is I'm possible 10
reconcile modern civilization and the church
nature is sent broadcast over the world.
Is it true that the Catholic church is an
enemy to progress? Does the Catholic church
belong so entirely 10 the past? or is it not true
that the civilization we now enjoy is the
direct action OF Catholic truth upon society?
No church acts directly upon society The
Christian church acts on the individual It
has nothing TO do in the political sphere. No
church acts. or ought to act, except upon the
individual. Il enlightens a mans mind, frees
him from the service of the lower passions. It
therefore tends TO make him q good man, a
good citizen and good ruler to those whom
he is called upon TO command. This influence
reacts on everything he does, and we are told
that this reaction makes him dangerous to
modern society. Movement is not progress.

90S Broadway, Sept. 4.
P. ]. Keller, roadmaster, and by cour-
tesy Mayor of Piedmont, has issued a
novel challenge to his fellow-candidates
for the Office of Supervisor of the Fourth
District.
Times being hard and many men being
out of permanent employment, it nat
urally follows that there are more than
enough candidates to fill all Offices. In
fact there are enough to fill the vacancies
of half dozen counties, but as all the
candidates are strangers to the chief busl-
ness of road-making Mayor Keller thinks
there should be practical and public test
of their fitness to carry out the main part
of Supervisors outy.

Ter to-day, land want each one of US to

could prove that had been guilty of so pelp-
able malfeasance in Office as not to follow
5ns Jaw IN me matter OF requiring statements
Come Mr.. Morehouse, the courts are at your
disposal, as they are at the disposal of all
honest men.
And Equalizer Besmer. too. the gentleman
who was so anxious to have Il appear that he
was not all the time tied to the coat-tails Of
my predecessor in Office while he was 'equal-
!zlng the property in Alameda County-even
Mr.. Beamer says that he thinks the assess
ments OF Alameda County are too low. And
all ne can say to bolster up his assertion is his
own say so that Alameda County is assessed
100 low Since when has Mr.. Beamer become
so Vlrtuous? Has he forgotten how anxious
ne was to find something (anythingl that
would tend to show how unfair Dalton's assess
ment was? Did he ever show any desire to
gain true insight into the conditioDof affairs
IN Alameda County? Perish the thought
Equalizer Beamer is not built on a gauge as
oroad rs that. What he did do was TO attach
himself to the coat-tails of the man whom 1
defeated Tor Assessor, and, under his leader
snip, endeayor 10 weave spell OF misrepre-
sentatlon and unfair statements around my
work.
One statement of Equalizer Beamer is a fair
example OF his argument to prove that Ala
media County is under-assessed. And that is
mat lin about nine cases out OF ten Mr.. Dalton
mas cut down the value of improvements, and
l cannot see why this should have been done
except 10 popularlze Mr.ssDalton with those by
means of whose votes he expects to be re tanned
in office" No doubt Mr.. Beamer is of the opin-
ion that improvements never depreciate in
value and that q building built twenty years
ago is just as valuable as one built last year.
1t may be so in the county whence Mr..
Beamer comes, but it is not SO in Alameda
County. And If it be proof to Mr.. BeRmer of
my desire to gain votes that l cut down
the assessments of old Improvements, why,
l don't know of any means at my command to
improve his wit or equeliZe his understand
ing. But ] would advise Mr.. Beamer in all
seriousness not to talk that way If he should
ever be so unfortunate to be brought before
q commission on Iunacy.
AS the rest of Mr. Beamer's argument is of
equal luminosity with that quoted above, and
as his assertions as to my deeds of omission
and commission are simply the uncorroborated
assertions of Mr.. Beamer, think it is sale 10
say, in conclusion, that when Mr.. Beamer re-
covers his reason and gets down TO statements
