OF IT'S editor, Father Doyle, eHtllleu
The Vexed Question of the Friars. :"
The Paulist writer has the most pro-
found respect for the heroism and de-
votion of the Spanish missionary; the
friars' work among the conquered peo-
pie perpetuated SPANS power to the
present day. But" says Father
Doyle, "in order to get the proper per-
spective, let US place the matter in
another light.
Let us suppose that the priesthood
in Ireland during the last three cen
turtles, instead of being Irish to the
core and devoted to the peoples best
interests, We're emissaries of England.
Let us suppose they belonged to re-
ligious orders whose superior-generals
were all Englishmen and were closely
identified with the English crown; that
they had free access to the royal pal
ace, and their coming and going was
at the behest of the English king; how
long would the Irish people tolerate
such priesthood. though its personnel
was made up of the best of men, and
what probably would be the state of
religion in Ireland today, after CEN
fury of such antagonism? 1t may be
readily understood, then, why a con-
siderable number of the Filipino peo-
pie, in their revolt against the Spanish
government are antagonistic to the
friarS; and it may be as readily I'M
derstood why in the Americanization
of the islands it would be well to re-
place these same good men by just as
good men who know the English Ian
guage and who understand and are de-
voted to the American system of nom
interference in church matters"
Father Doyle, it may be easily seen,
believes in the policy of the voluntary
elimipation of the Spanish friars, and
has no doubt that this is the attitude
of the holy father.
Another feature in the current num-
Der is an article written by one who
has had twenty-five years experience
among the miners, and it gives a very
vivid picture of the miners life. The
author declares that the miner has
more to put up with in the way of
hardships than any other class of Ia
borers. There is a class of papers not
sympathetic with the cause of organ
lied labor who take advantage of any
disturbance in the mining regions to
make affirmations about the lawless-
ness of the miner. If the entire truth
be told the miner is honest, sober and
law-abiding. The great economic
problem that faces him every day of
the year is How can 1 support self,
wife and children on $50 a month";"
''Luisa de CarvajaP' is a remarkable
story of a Spanish lady of rank and
fortune who devoted life and all she
possessed to the saving of the perse-
cuted Catholics in England in the sew
enteenth century. Luisa de Carvajal
is one of those devoted women whose

opens up, an unusually bright number
with a description of New York's
churches and creeds, necessarily brief
when we reflect that there are in the
boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx $50
places of worship. She begins with
Judaism, the oldest religion in the
world, and concludes with Theos-
ophism, very properly leaving out those
creeds which sprang up like mush-
rooms and will wilt like the summer
insect. Kathleen Eileen Barry is the
author, and she has contrived to spread
an interesting article over not more
than a dozen pages, with pictures of
the prominent churchmen in the great
city. The other features in this num-
Der of the magazine are:

Donahoe's for September is timely
and interesting. The cover contains a
portrait of Count Albert de Nun, the
Catholic leader in France, now attract
ing attention. This is followed in the
opening article on the Religious Per-
secution in France" by other engrav-
ings which brings the reader close to
the stirring incidents connected with
the unlawful closing of the religious
schools, and smaller pictures of those
prominent in the French ministry and
their opponents. The article reviews
everything of Importance, together
with the views of the French press.
An idea of the general character of
this excellent publication may be
