Quite a bit Of prominence was given
to the candidacy Of Rev. J. W. CORN
ley, a Catholic priest nominated for
tho Legislature in Kansas, says the
Denver Catholic Register. Father
Gosmley was rendered unanimous
nomination as an expression Of graf
itude on the part Of his fellow cit
liens Of all denominations who wished
to show their appreciation OF his tell
Ing fight against q local gas monopoly.
No doubt Father Gor1n&ey would have
been elected had he permitted his
name to remain on the ticket, It is
often difficult for non Catholics to UNI
derstand our position regarding priests
In politics. therefore we are not sur
prised that Father Gormley's fellow
citizens should have looked upon him
al an available candidate. That a
Catholic priest should have won the
esteem Of his fellow citizens of other
denominations is always a matter Of
congratulation, but they must show
their appreciation in some other man
ner than electing him to public oniee.
The church does not encourage her
priests to: engage in partisan politics.
The proposal to send Father Gormley
to the Kansas Legislature recalls to
our minds an incident In the early his
tory Of Michigan. In 1924, Father
Richard, a French missionary priest.

gress. Father Richard has the unique
distinction Of having been the only
Catholic priest that ever served a term
in the House Of Representatives. How.
ever, there was very good reason why
Father Richard should lay aside the
cares Of missionary life and enlarge
the sphere Of his influence by go!ug
to Washington. At that time the white
settlers were struggling against ad-
versity and western wildsrness. ana
none was more familiar than he with
the needs Of the Indians committed to

A pAsTARpLY ATTACK.

The report Of the attempt to destroy
the great Cathedral Of st. Peters mt
Rome on the anniversary OF its dedica-
ton caused Il shudder throughout the
civilized world. What possible cause
could induce one to attempt the mur-
der of women and children gathered
together in a spirit of devotion is hard
to imagine. Fortunately the murder
GUS bomb caused neither destruction
OF life nor injury to the glorious edi-
flee of st. Peters which is one of this
legacies Of the far past to the present
generation. The man who lit the fuse
and snealzed away leaving it to do its
work must either be maniac or an
anarchist; probably the latter. TO the
anarchist. religion, which recognizes
law. order and authority. is even more
distasteful than the rulers who enforce
the law. The anarchist realizes that
the greatest force in the world sup
porting lawful, constituted authority
is the Catholic Church. The attempt
on st. Peters was blow directed,
against the temporal head Of the
Church and that ediflce which is the
center OF the Catholic world. 1t il
easy to understand why the Catholic
Church should be an especial object OF
attack on the part OF those who would
destroy all rule. They realize that
the power to influence the working
classes OF the world to such decree
as the Catholic Church. 1t has been
the check against all attempts on the
part Of those interested in stirring up
class hatreds. Against the gentle, pi-
Gus, simple-living man who occupies
the Papal throne there certainly can be
no personal reasons for such a das-
tardIy attack. 1t is the force and prin-
ciple that he represents that is dis
tasteful to the followers Of the red
flag. To them the Pope is greater en- :

The person Of the Pope was not, as
it happens. subjected to any great dam
ger but the most magnificent Cathedral
ever built might have been destroyed.
People from all over the world visit
Athens to view the ruins OF the Par
thenon which was the most beautiful
building ever built. That temple went
down, q sacrifice to war. During the
war between the Greeks and the Turks
the Greeks used it for an arsenal and
the Turks unfortunately dropped 4

explosives. What would not the civ

it was before the disaster? But un-

Vatican and the Spanish government
have been much exaggerated by Span
ish and French newspapers. and that
as matter Of fact the negotiations
between Rome and Madrid are most
friendly.
The freedom accorded to Catholics
in Russia by a recent ukase may justly
be regarded by Plus X as an achieve
ment that reflects honor on his pom
tiHcate. There is no doubt that the in
structions issued by him to CATHOLIC
Bishops in, Russian Poland had much
to do with preventing the outbreak Of
q formidable Polish iusurrection. and
they deserved requital at the hands
Of the Russian sovereign. In Prussia
there are some signs of tension be-
tween Church and State because the
Pope has thus far hesitated to comply
with Emperor Williams request that
he cooperate strenuously in the pro-
cess OF Germanizing the Poles III the
province Of Posen. 1t is scarcely cred
ible, however, that a sovereign who
remembers the lesson administered to
Bismarck will under any circumstances
attempt to renew the Kulturkampf.
On the whole, it will be generally
acknowledged that, although Plus X.
has had to endure some of the severcst
trials to which the Papacy has been
subjected since the occupation Of Rome
by Victor Emmanuel, he has emerged
from them with dignity unimpairsd
and remains "a sympathetic, interesting
and impressive figure.

public opinion is upon political issues.
Party committees can no longer look
for a certain majority from q certain
precinct. No precinct, no county. no
state is any longer either surely Re-
publican or surely Democratic. States
in the North where Republican ma
jorities have been overwhelming have
elected Democratic governors. The
South only remains a section where
majorities can be estimated in adj
VANCE. This condition exists in the
South because Of the race question. So
long as that question remains unset
tied the Southern states will remain
Democratic because the Democratic
party in the South is the party Of the
white man. They will pay no heed ia
political issues until the race question
is settled. Wherever in the country
people are free to vote upon political
issues majorities are no longer safe.
The fact that this is true shows that
the people are becoming more and
more democratic and more Intelligent.
Intelligence and democracy go hand in
hand. The more intelligent the peo-
pie the greater possibilities Of a true
democracy. 1t is only In the crowded
centers where the foreign vote pre-
dominates that the political boss finds
room for employment. The lesson to
be learned from recent elections is one
full Of hope. There is no danger from
plutocracy and there is no danger from
socialism.

little from any High" Anglican So

Richard Croker from his retreat in
Ireland says that he is out Of politics,

judgment of God Almighty. We hard
~ think that the Almighty took any
especial part in the New York election.
Croker when he was boss Of Tam
many Hall paid a great deal more at
tention to the 1narshaling Of voters
than he did to God Almighty. He gives
out an interview, however. which con-
tains great deal Of rough common
sense. He says that he is unable to
understand why Charles r. Murphy
should have delivered the organization
over to Hearst. IT would go to thu
stake before submitting to such tao

those who remember his political
career can we'll believe what he says.

cause he was afraid that he would

does not forget his enemies. His strong
trait as leader vas his loyalty to his

his enemies. According to Croker, he

HAWAlIANS AND IMMIGRANTS

Hawaiian statesmen are said to be
calling upon their followers to punish
those pubIic-spirited American citizens
responsible for the passage Of the Ter
rtOriul immigration law. II this be-
true. It Is very much to the discredit OF
the statesmen in question and If per-
sisted IN will go far toward damaging
the good reputation the Hawaiian has
held with the Americans Of the main
land.
The declared cause for the Opposi.
ton to. the immigration law Is that the
people brought in, especially those ellg-
IDLE 10 become citizens. will destroy
the voting strength of the native Ha-
waiians. RMS sentiment Is so lar re-
moved from good judgment ana the
prevailing spirit Of the main body Ot
the Hawaiian people, that we doubt II
many will heed the cry.
Immigrants are not sought for Ha-
wall In order that they may change the
balance OF voting power. Hawaii needs
immigrants TO promote its industry, in
crease and Improve its homes. and thus
add TO the general prosperity. This
prosperity must be shared By the lu-
waii1ns. They win gain more from It
than most any other class Of citizens.

false idea that their voting power viii
