SAYS SOCIALISM is
A GROWING EVIL
CATHOLIC EDUCATOR MAKES
ASSERTION
Charles C. conroy Says Liberalism Has
Bred Formidable Monster Which
Must BE combatted by
Laymen

"The Catholic Layman I'm Public
Life" was the subject of an interesting
paper read before the Newman club
last evening by Charles G. Conroy, a
member of the faculty of st. Vincent's
college. Mr.. Conroy said in part
"That IL is the duty of Catholics to
identify themselves with the great
movements of the day no one will deny
IL the different countries of Europe the
church has met with trouble and perse-
cution simply because her sons failed
to appear as her champions in the pub
lie arena. In those lands where Cath
olcs were finally awakened to their
duties the hardships of others days
have been ameliorated, if not entirely
relieved.
"The iniquitous May laws in Ger
many were in large measure repealed
through the activities of German Cath
olics in public life The removal Of the
political disabilities of the Catholics Of
Great Britain and Ireland, the discs
tablishment of the state church in the
latter country, the greatly improved
condition of Catholics in Holland and
Switzerland are examples of the re-
suits of Catholic interest in public
affairs. The Masonic public school sys-
tenn in Belgium was overthrow by the
same pot ent means and a bill to legalize
divorces in Italy was similarly de-
feated. On the other hand, the terrible
conditions prevailing in France Illus
trate the fatal apathy of the Catholic
layman in regard to the welfare of both
church and state.

Must Combat Socialism

"The clergy may, and have done,
noble work, but, unless seconded by the
intelligent cooperation of the Catholic
layman, their labors will count for
little, for, after all, political reform
constitutes work which is peculiar to
the layman.
"The social and economic heresies
which have long held sway in Europe
are invading America and are enlisting
under their standards large and ever
increasing host Of followers.
"The plague of Socialism. the baneful
specter of which continually haunts the
statesmen of continental Europe, is fast
becoming a formidable factor I'M Ameri-
can life, the legitimate successor of that
strange liberalism which permeates So
ciety today.
I'VE are told that statesmen and
scholars are turning to Socialism in the
vain hope of discovering in it something
wherewith to stem the current Of un-
rest and dissatisfaction which threatens
to overwhelm the social order. Here is
assuredly work for the Catholic lay
man, who has something more substan-
tial than mere theories with which to
combat this monstrous and growing
evil.
"The continued strife between labor
and capital is one of the chief sources
Of Socialism and general discomfort.
The utter absence of all standards of
religious and moral training in the edu-
cational systems of the day, which
causes the thoughtful man to entertain
the gravest fears for the future of the
state; the periodical scandals which
arise from the mismana cement Of pub
lie trusts; the thousand and one minor
evils, some of which may and will be-
come giants Of strength unless checked
in time-all these are foes to be met
and combatted by the energy Of the
Catholic layman in public life"

accounts of the accident.
Motorman Silas c. Perkins of Pasa-
