Columbus, Aug. 15.--Judge J. I. Al
read, chief clerk in the office of Secre-
nary Of State Laylin., has S1iscovered
another serious error in the leg
islation of the present legislature
at its regular session last winer. This
one is in the act intended to make
breaking into an inhabited house pun
ishable by life imprisonment
In making the amendment the legis-
,lature cut out the penalty for attempt
ing to breal, into an inhabited house.
AS it stands If man is caught in ths
act of breaking into residence, he
cannot be punished at all. OF course
the special session will be called upon
to make this good.

LEO'S BNCYCLICAL
ALSO HIS TESTAMENT
Encouragement to Bishops
Throughout the World.
The Pope Deplores Social Disorders of
the Day and Urges Spread of Re-
ligion as a Cure.

| ROME, March 29.-The "Osseryatore
Romano the organ of the Vatican, prints
the encyclicai issued by the Pope today
in which the Holy Father says the time
has come when he must recognize that
he is approaching the term of his life on
! earth and that this encyclcal should be
his testament to the Catholic Church.
Encouragement to Bishops.
The Pope says he would encourage the
! Catholic Bishops throughout the world to
continue vigorously to resist the perse-
| cutons which now afflict the Church
These prosecutions would continue, but
| they would not affect the spread of the
| light of Christ among nfidels.
! Never had humanity found itself in more
There was disorder in all social relations.
| and especially in family relations. Excess
| sive liberty had hcen created, which fos-
tered socialism and anarchism
Unjust wars. the encyclical says, are
being waged by strong nations against
weak and feeble peoples. There are eX-
aggerated armaments among great ma
tions, the effect of which are even more
disastrous than war All these things
have created world wide inquietude.
Anarchy New Danger
Unceasing troubles and misery have
provoked the people to anarchism, which
henceforth promised to constitute a for
midable party Of malefactors leagued
against emperors, kings. and presidents or
all Governments. These Governments
must adopt decisive measures in the de-
fence of genuine liberty, and must en-
force the teaching of religion.
In conclusion, the Pope invokes the
union of Christian churches as the lead
ing remedy to save society from the vio-
lent attacks OF atheists and Free Ma
sonry. He maintains the necessity OF
upholding the temporal rights OF the
Church, and counseis the active spread Of
Catholic workmen's societies.
Deplores Spread of Atheism.
His Holiness thanks the Bishops for
their friendly manifestations on the
occasion of his Jubilee, and p.o-
ceeds to deplore the spread Of atheism,
which he finds to be invading all depart
ments of the State. He also condemns the
Forthcoming institution of the-law of di
vorce in Italy. and he urges all Catholics
to combat doctrines contrary to religion.
