which many are fastening to make use. 1t will
he recalled that the French government last
week offered TO let the Catholic priests and
their congregations go on undisturbed with the
free use of the churches provided they would
comply with the general law Of 1881. That
law, applicable to all public assemblages, sim
ply requires two persons to file in advance
notice Of the proposed meeting and therein TO
assume for themselves responsibility for its
law-abidng character. Such notice is required
for each individual meeting. but the govern
ment, TO facilitate matters, offered IN the case
OF the churches to accept one such notice in
advance for all the meetings Of a year at eacl,
church. 1t was understood that the Vatican did
not approve this arrangement and so few if
any such notices were at first filed. But the
statement from the Vatican on Friday removed
what seems TO have been q misapprehenslon. de-
claring directly that the Holy See is not op-
posed TO the making of applications under the
'law'
That opens the way to at least the undis-
turbed confirmation Of public worship and the
performance OF pastoral functions by the clergy.
1T is agreeable TO observe that laymen in large
numbers hastening to avail themselves of
the opportunity, and it is TO be assumed they

years 10 come the payment OF stipends TO
those members OF the clergy who are willing

french citizens. OF course, there are other dis
puted points in the situation which will require

OF continuing church services compromised and
the status OF the clergy defined the crur OF the
case would seem TO have been pissed
There is the more ground for confidence in
satisfactory settlement because Of the known
dispositions of both parties to the dispute. The
Catholic Church is essentially conservative

LAWS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

There are strong reasons for agreeing with
much that Dr. Woodrow Wilson said on Friday
night about the desrability of rightly respec.-
Ing and enforcing the laws which we have, in
stead Of looking 10 the enactment Of new laws
Tor abatement Of all our ills. 1t is quite true as
we have often arsLed IN these columns. that
what this country needs"-one thing which il
needs, though not all-'Is q more searching
process in the application of the laws" We neei
20 cultivate greater respect for the law because
st is the law, instead of a mere fear of il be-
cause IL imposes a penalty for its violation
There are too many who instead OF striving TO
fulfl the law In letter and in spirit devote their
attention TO keeping il in letter while they break
IL in spirit, or TO seeing to how great an extent
they can violate or nullify 1t without incurrlng
its penalties. The need Of more scrupuIous
regard for existing laws cannot be too strongly
urged
Yet we must repeat that this is only one thing
and not the only thing which the country needs.
and despite DIR. Wilson's protest that he does
not know that this country needs any more laws.
we must contend confidently that there is need
Of new legislation and that such need is not ONLY
occasional but practically incessant. To that
fact DR.. Wilson himself might have borne wit
ness had he quoted another passage from the
writer from whom he took his text:
And God fuhls Himself in many ways
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world
Indeed. he does himself bear witness 10 IL In

the need of the nation be comparable with that

We would not, any more than would Dr. VIII
son, regard the state as an earthly Providence.
and seek in multiplication OF laws a panacea
for our ills. But we should regard IL as Hog

NEW RATTLESHLP DESIGNS.

President Roosevelt is said to regard with
disfavor any attempt to build more powerful
war vessels than those of other nations and
his views are likely to prevail. Nevertheless.
popular curiosity concerning the plans which
Secretary Bonaparte sent to Congress last week
is Justifiable for several reasons. They are the
fruit of years study by naval experts in
this country, and a comparison is naturally
invited with the latest designs of other naval
powers. The primary battery of the proposed
battleshD was to consist, like the Dread
nought's OF ten 12-inch breechoaders The
Satsuma will carry only four guns of that size
the rest Of her heavy ordnance having calibre
of only 10 inches
1t reported from Washington that the
broadside fire of the new American vessel would
be % per cent more powerful than that OF "any
other now afoat or building" This statement
was evidently meant to apply to the Satsuma
as well as the Dreadnought but as the public
does not yet know how the guns of the Jap
anese battleshp are to be arranged it was
obliged TO accept a part OF the announcement
on faith. Superiority over the Dreadnought
in at least one important respect, however,
would be altogether feasible, if all OF the
American battleshps guns We're mounted
in pairs along the central line of the vessel
That course Will be adopted with the Michi-
gan and the South Carolina, whose construction
mas just Deen begun. lnaSmuch as the Dread
nought Will carry one pair of guns on each side,
nearly amidships she bring only eight of
her ten TO bear in broadsde fire The Michi-
gan and the South Carolina are to have only
eight guns each, but they can be used all at once
In bgoadside.
About the fore and art fire of the proposed
batueship reports from the capital were silent
The Dreadnought train six guns directly
forward and six directly aft. The practica-
bility of duplicating that performance would
depend on the relative height OF the turrets.
III the central one We're higher than those
next In front and next behind, and If all three
were higher than the turrets at the bow and
stern, the result could be attained This prin-
ciple was followed the Michigan and the
Soum Carolina, but the feasibility of mounting
l2lnch guns at two levels does not demonstrate
the safety and expediency of mounting them
ut three levels. If our designers have devised a
satisfactory method of matching the fore and
ait hre OF the Dreadnought, they have solved
an exceptionally difficult problem
Though the secondary battery of n modern
batueship Is needed only 10 repel the attack
OF torpedo boats. there seems to be a difference
of opinion as to the size of guns best adapted
