ratified in 1915. Religious liberty was
allowed to foreigners, but net vet to
, natives.
At last, the Catholic missionaries in
1888 re-entered in their spiritual field.
Clapels were erected in Yokohama
and i'll Nagas;ki in 1860. \ few
weeks after the dedication of this
church of Nagasaki Father Petitgeau
was at the feet of the statue of the
Blessed Virgin reciting his Rosary,
when two CT three women knelt down
beside him and said in Il low voice:
Lord, we have the same heart as
YOU These We're descendants of the
ancient Christians who kept the sa-
cred fire of the true faith. \ still
burning spark of this fire had re-
manned in that country, despite a gov
ernment the most hostile to the Cath
ole religion.
From this moment these old Chris
tians were coming by crowds to the
church and in 1866 there We're about
10000. But still Christianity was
prescribed religion, forbidden under
pain of death. In 1865 fresh edict
of persecution was issued declaring
that 'the evil sect called Christians
was strictly prohibited, and once
again fierce storm of persecution
WAS started up against the faith.
In a few months of 1SG9-1S7O 5000
Christians were torn from their
homes and distributed as criminals
throughout the prisons of remote dis
tricts. 1t is calculated that about
5000 We're subjected to torture, of
whom 1000 died in prison.
In 1873, thanks to the energetic in
tervention of MIR. Lelong, the United
States minister in Toxic, religious lib
erty was tacitly allowed and the
Christian prisoners We're restored to
freedom.

FREDERICK OzANAM.
Sketch of a Great Frenchman by
Henry Austin Adams.

The subject of DR.. Henry Austin
Adams lecture at the G. G. Summer
School in ST. Paul on "Wednesday
evening, July 16, was Frederick
Ozanam, the founder of the st. Vim
cent de Paul Society. In the preamble
he paid some compliments to France,
in which he said it was the country Of
charm, charming men aud women,
with charming manners. 1t is the
land where the unexpected and impos-
sible always happens. This is evil
dcnced by the singular power France
has of resurrection just when the gov-
ernment seems to totter; when the pco-
pie are most degenerate, when wreck
ana ruin are on every hand, France
suddenly rises triumphant Mr.
Adams cited many instances of this
power, from the recent one Of the de-
decentralization caused by the miscar-
riage of justice in the Dreyfus case,
when political prophets were digging
tire grave of France and s:,w but ruin
ahead. and suddenly France sent out
to the world invitations to the finest
worlds fair that has ever been seen;
and again gong back to the awful
chaos. of the revolution when from the
wreck of governments and people this
great recuperative power of France
gave her strength to rise once more
and take her place as one of the fore
most nations of the world. The charm
OF the French is so potent that some
one has said it is pleasanter to be
insulteh by a Frcnchman than treated
civilly by an Englishman. 1t is aptly
portrayed by the current humor con-
veyed by the "After You, my dear
CASTOR" type. Frederick Ozanam was
born some time in the early part Of
this century. for Mr.. Adams hates
dates and desires to forget them, for,
after all, the Gay of his birth and that
of his death are the most unimportlnt
things about every man. and giving
the other sex little slap, Mr.. Adams
said that Il woman who could remem-
bel the date of an important histor-
cal event generally knew nothing else
about the affair, least of all Of the
philosophy and psychology which
made the conditions. So Frederick
Ozanam was born on some unimpor-
tant day, and died on another unim-
portant date, but between those two
dates he set in motion forces of phil
anthropy and Christian charity the
echoes cf which are still sounding

HATRED OF THE FRIARs.
The Causes Clearly Explained by
Father Hart,

The following interview given by
Rev. Patrick j. Hart, Catholic priest
we'll known in Minnesota, who spent
two years and Il half as chaplain with
the American forces in the Philip
pines, expains why the natives dislike
the Spanish friars:
"The Filipino people are intensely
Catholic, most firmly attached to the
priests Of the Catholic Church. devoted
to its practices and animated in all
their relations with deep religious SEN
tments. There is no antipathy what
ever on their part to the priests of the
Catholic Church as such. Their at
tachment to the native Filipino priests
was unlimited. If they show opposi-
tion to the friars it is for other rca-
sons than for that of their priesthood
They show no tpp, s,tion whatsoever
to the Jesuits. Lazarists or Capuchins.
on the contrary. to members Of til 3se
orders they are much attached.
"a fact, however, so plain and visi-
bic to me, and could not close my
eyes to it. wss that the Filipino show
ed much antipathy to the members of
let and Franciscan orders. Before Ad-
the -Augustinian. Dominican. Reccl-
miral Dewey's fleet arrived in the har-
Dor of Manila the members of those
religious orders. who had been previ-
ously scattered through the archipel-
ago, had been driven into Manila.
where alone their lives We're in safety.
OF those that had not come into Ma
The Irish standard., 1902-07-26

Mia some were actually put to death
and the others imprisoned and even
cruelty tortured. Those who had been
imprisoned We're ultimately released
/ by the American army.
THE question is raised of course
why such antipathy was shown by the
| Eilipinos to the members OF those spe-
cific orders. Frcm my observation the
reasons are the following: They We're
the land-halding friars. The Filipinos
were their tenants and had been for
long years paying rent to them, which
rent was collected from the people in
the name of the Spanish government
The original acquisition Of those lands
by the friars were the possible inten-
tions and principles. The people, then
silvages, were gathered upon those
lands by the friars, civilized and Chris
| tianized. The mistake of the friars
was this: They having civilized and
Christianized the people, they failed
to observe what was the fruits of their
own teachings, the development in the
people OF sense of independence
which led those people to the desire Of
being proprietors themselves. The
point reached in teaching of the peo-
pie, the friars should have aided in
making them proprietors. 1t is a case
over again of Irish landlordism and
| tenantcy
Not only We're the friars landlords,
/ but they were the civil agents of the
Spanish government. The hatred
against the government fell upon the
friars. The Jesuits and other orders
that escaped this hatred of the people
! owned no large estates.
Prom what l know and firmly be-
lieve the members of the four orders
] have mentioned as landlords orders
cannot with safety return to their par
ishes. There would be at once such
opposition as to nullify their religious
administrations and even to endanger
their lives.
''The native priests are intensely op-
posed to the members of those orders,
and for this special reason, that they
never We're intrustcd by the friars
with responsible positions. All the
bishops of the islands were members
of religious orders. The orders had a
| monopoly of religion, and however
we'll intcntioned the directors Of a
monopoly are, and whatever the
causes that led up to the formation
Of Il monopoly, it will always in the
long run, and necessarily so, induce

the number Of native priests in the

THE FAITH IN JAPAN.
The Catholic Bishop Of Osaka III
Minneapolis.

Last Sunday Rt. Rev. julius a. Cha
tron, the Catholic bishop Of Osaka,
Japan, preached at ST. Lawrence
Church. He was fellow student of
Rev. G. Gems in France in 1857 while
studying for the priesthood, and they
met for the first time in forty years.
Bishop Chatron has been engaged in
missionary work in Japan for the past
thirty years and took charge Of the
diocese Of Osaka six years ago.
The diocese has a population Of
about 13,5OO,O0O, 1918 of whom are of
the Catholic faith, the remainder being
for the most part pagans.
In addition to eight churches and
clapels and some twenty-five tenn
pGrary oratories presided over by for
eign missionaries, the diocese supports
six schools with total attendance of
over 800 pupils, five orphan asylums,
one hospotal and one dispensary.
The cost Of maintaining these insti-
tutions has been great, and the bishop
has encountered much difficulty in Sc
curing funds for their maintenance.
He is now visiting the United States
for the special purpose of securing
financial aid for this work. Without
outside help, he says it would be al
most impossible to continue.
There are at present in Japan about
GO,OO0 Catholics With 1 archbishop in
Toxic, 1 bishop in Hakotlate, bishop
i'll Osaka, 1 bishop in Nagasaki, 11G
European and 80 native priests.
Bishop Chatron called at the Irish
Standard office and in reply to ques-
tons made the following statements:
Il have been in charge of the dio-
cese of Osaka for six years, and in a
district SO vast and so new all is to
be created. With scarcely any funds
at my disposal it is almost impossible
to succeed among a pagan nation.
BY dint Of the strictest econ my and
the prudent management of the mis-
sionaries, we have so far been able
to maintain our small establishments,
but last year typhoons devastated our
poor chapcls, orpllanages, hospitals and
work rooms and forced us into debt
to make the urgent and necessary re-
pairs. Therefore, now we find our
selves in the impossibility of going on
with the work.
The bishop gave the editor an inter-
esting pamphlet on tie Catholic
Church in Japan from the days Of
st. Francis Xavier to the present time.
That great saint and missionary land

manned there two years, when he left

A rozEN DIFFERENT WAYS

When the ordinary citizen intends to
go east. or sen6 for friends or rela-
tives 10 come west, the choice OF routes
Is q question that always bothers aim.
He wants to know II :he same route he
used once, some time ago, makes the
same time, same connections, II the
price Is the same, IL It costs the same
to 20 east is II did to come west. Pos
sibly he has heard or read OF famous
points of interest In the west or middle
west that he overlooked on the trip
he made. Did not see them because he
had not time; did not know he could
for the same money;did not know he
could get stopover. There are hun
dreds of questions he would have ask
Ell, many things he would have liked
to have seen and many accommodations
he could have enjoyed, only, he did
not have the time to look into the sub
feet, and il was too much bother any
way.
Here Is a suggestion that will save
you all that trouble, vexation and re-
gret. The Illinois Central Railroad
company runs east and south from st.
Paul, Omaha and st. Louis, and north
from New Orleans. At these points
It connects with all the western trunk
lines, and through them with al
their western connections. The Illinois
Central does not care which line you
use in the west. northwest, central
west or southwest, because It connects
with all Of them. and Is absolutely i'm
partial to all. All you have to do Is tc
drop us a note tell US your destination
and starting point Is there anything
in the whole glorious west that yot
want to see on the way? Mention 1t
We will arrange for 1t II 1t can b'
done. Perhaps you want a stopover
We will arrange that too, II 1t ID pos
sible fer anyone to do 1t. Just make
a suggestion as to the western line
and we will elaborate II for you; tel
you the time you should start, wher
you should arrive at your destination
what accommodation you will enjoy
what 1t will cost you, an itinerary fol
the trip, and will do everything we pos
sibly can to make your journey pleas
ant and comfortable. That's what W.
are here for. We have headquarters
IN Portland; agents In Portland and
Seattle and travelling agents that will
come and talk 1t over with you at any
time and at any place in the north

BOOTH OUT FOR FULTON
LANE COUNTY MAN PASSES
UP JOURNALS TAFFY.
says Astoria Aspirant Is Logical
Candidate and Ought to
BE Elected.

q. w, Fulton is rapidly gainins
strength In his senatorial campaign,
and It is becoming more and more evil
dent that he will have an easy race for
the toga. The talk of other formid-
able candidates is dying out, and stead
ily the party leaders in the state are
s,ocking to the standard OF the Astoria
man.
The Geer adherents have for some
time past been trying to make Il APP
near that State Senator Booth OF Lane
county was senatorial candidate. or,
rather, have been endeavoring TO place
a buzzing bee in his bonnet. Now, Mr..
Booth happens to be close friend Of
Mr.. Fulton, and would not stand for
the taffy that the Portland Journal has
been handing out to him in large-sized
packages. Mr.. Booth says that he Is
not q senatorial candidate. but that he
saews a man who 's and who will re-
ceiye all the support that the Lane
county man can possibly give him. The
gentleman TO whom Mr., Booth refers
in this complimentary manner is c. w.
Fulton OF Astoria. The Lane county
senator believes Mr.. Fulton viii be
elected very early in the session, and
contends that he should be successful
because he is broad man, capable
Of representing all sections Of the
state with equal fairness.
The sentiment in favor Of Mr.. Full
ton is developing rapidly, particularly
in the Willamette valley. The people
there are tired Of being worked po-
li.ically, and now demand the election
Of man who viii pay more attention
to Oregon and less to the benefits of
federal patronage. Republicans want
a man who will be square with his
party, and they see in Mr.. Fulton q
senator who will strive always TO do
what Is right.
The Portland Journal is out with a
story that H. W. Scott, while sojourn-
Ing in the British isles, Is fondiy nurs-
ing his senatorial aspirations. and that
he will, at an opportune moment. throw
the harpoon into Mr.. Fulton and cause
himself to be elected to the senate. Mr..
Scctt's frequent public denials Of any
political hopes is enough to puncture
this story, but it Is not clear that he
could knife Mr.. Fulton even IL he
would. He has repeatedly stated that
he was favorable to the Astoria man
and there is no reason to believe that
he would take part in any throw-down
scheme. The action Of the Journal In
trying to make Mr.. Scott factor !.
to split Mr.. Fulton's strength II pos
sible. in the interests of that worthy
populistic-republican, Mr.. Jonathan
Bonrne.
It Is gratifying TO Mr.. Fulton:
friends to note that the frantic efforts
OF the Geer- Bourne followers to weaker
him are falling fat, and 1t would seen
that the Astoria man will have a Ger.
tain victory when the time for ballot
ing comes.
