POPE ON FRENCH ACTION
ENCYCLICAL DECRYING sEPA-
RATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

ROME. February ia papal encySiical
was issued TO the French episcopacy. clergy
and people today on the situation of the
church in France. strongly condemning the
law providing for the separation OF church
and state and giving advice to Catholics.
Several French bishops. VINO were summoned
here, have arrived In Rome TO receive verbal
instructions fol their guidance under the
new order of things in France
The encyclical shows that the holy see did
everything possible to avoid the passage
of the law. which it terms a great evil TO
religion and to France and outlines the
church's doctrine on the subject of the re-
lations between church and state, adding
that in their union France had found
throughout centuries her greatness and
glories.
Examining the law in itself the encycIcal
says 1t is offensive and repugnant to the
divine constitution OF the church. because
the public exercise of worship is entrusted
to lay associations.
The freedom of the church. il is added. is
submitted to the viii of public officials who
are despoiling her of her patrlmony The
law, the document continues. cannot fail to
inJure the internal peace of France which
especially in the present condition OF
Europe, is i'll need OF the union of all her
children
1t concludes with exhortfng the clergy
and the people to act IN concord and with
generosity in defense of their religion and
to pray to God for the return of tranquility
and peace to France

WHEELING, ". Va, February Il. 1906.
Senator Elkins has treated West Virgin
ians to their second distinct shock on the
railroad rate issue within a week, by his
announcement that he has been In hearty
accord with President Roosevelt's views
from the start. This avowal is regarded
veriously, but there Is no difference of opin-
ion on the proposition that Governor Daw-
sons letter to Senator T1nman smoked out
the senior senator from West Virginia
Governor Dawson has suddenly obtained
wide publicity and has complicated state
politics His Tillman letter was a happy
stroke. and it came at the psychological mo-
ment. 1t has made him with one dash of
his pen a bigger man in the republican
ranks than did his long and iaborious struS-
gle in the long and bitter state tax reform
controversy.
BY his prompt denial of an ambition -
succeed Senator Elkins the governor put
quietus on the story that he craved other
than his present honors. Governor Dawson
was positive in stating he would serve out
his term. and incidentally, if not intention
ally, gave Senator Elkins and Scott an
other jab. Governor Dawson did not say,
and he has not said since. that he would
not support somebody else. however, for
the Elkins shoes. nor did he deny his am

Brief M ention.

The Congressional Record is said to be
greatly improved in typographical appear
ance this winter. Several years ago men,
bers of the Senate complained that the type
used on the Record was so small that it
was hard to read, but the Introduction of
Mergenthaler typesetting machines and the
consequent widening of the space between
words is believed 10 have minimiZed TINS
objection.
The desirability of using typewriters in
the preparation of copy for Uncle Sans
printery was forcibly illustrated recently
when a compositor printed pig IRON for
pigeon" the copy, of course, being very
poorly written.
The brief work for the Court of Claims
has been transferred from the fifth to the
sixth division The great mass Of printing
of this character sent TO the office is not
generally known to those criticising the
cost of the public printing.
DIR. c. d. Rozella of the chief engineers

attack of intermittent fever.

Alleged Effect of Dawson Move.

The reception given the Dawson stand for
railroad regulation moved Senator Elkins to
deny opposition to the President. and when
a call for a signed statement was made he
followed with his signature appended to
his denial. Senator Scott has since let it be
known that he has also been wrongly CLASH

New Complications.

The new complication presented by the
Mckinney criticisms of McGraw, besides
serving to indicate the fight that would fol-
low democratic control of the legislature
acts a mild restorative for republican
prostration over the exchange of amenities
between Elkins and Dawson. And thus it
has come TO pass that splits are the fashion
in both republican and democratic parties
in West Virginia because of President
Roosevelt and his rate program.
Representatives DoVener, Gaines and
Hughes are understood to be opposed to the
Elllls rate bill, while woodward is credited
with being for it. All may finally stand for
the rigid Roosevelt idea. for all have a
pretty good appreciation of the feelings OF
their constituents. Some of Governor Daw-
sons: most strenuous democratic critics have
applauded his recent stunt. and he has re-
cefved warmly complimentary letters from
James E. Barnes of Pittsburg. owning coal
lands in this state, and from host OF
others scattered throughout the Union.
