Well, the lower court, with three judg-

that the decisions of the courts, what

By getting these decisions they will dis

They long ago found out how to merge
practically and that no law on earth
could prevent them from doing so. The
gist OF Judge Lochren's decision is that
mere consolidation is no wrong, bn,
when the consolidation does wrong tc
any person, then that person has his
remedy before the law. AS we have said
before in these columns, consolidation
of capital is one of the natural conditions

have his own opinions as a citizen in
matters of government and many things
pertaining and still be good Catholic and
Christian. That religious belief and party
af6liation are not necessarily the same
thing, and that the Catholic church could
only hope to survive in this republic by
allowing its members the same individu-
al freedom as the members OF other
churches enjoy.
The late Pope undoubtedly had these
opinions impressed upon him by these
American prelates and it was doubtless
with his consent that the Catholic church
of this country has grown rapidly more
and more liberal and tolerant in the
last decade. That the new pope may be
as liberal is the wish of every American
Because SO much influence is given by
church rules to the Catholic clergy, and
particularly with so large part of the
alien population, who must be taught tc
become American citizens, it means
much to this nation whether the Pope
favors American independence of the
church in all matters out OF the church
According to reports from Rome it i:
therefore gratifying to learn that Plus
has the reputation of being even more
liberal than his good predecessor, though
it is OF course rather difficult for a mar
who has always been an Italian to under
stand America. For the good ofou re
public and for the good of the church
over which he holds sway, let us hope
that the new Pope may be broad enough
to accept the liberty of American institu
toas and live long to enjoy the fruits.
