DID NOT WANT VAR
Pope Tells French Catholics Why
He Condemned Law.
CERTAIN OF FINAL VICTORY

Oontlff Deprecates Religious War and
Persecution That Means Much
Suffering to Loyal Catholics In
France.
Rome. Jan. 12.-The Osservatore
Romano published the text OF an en-
cycllcal addressed by the pope to the
French Catholics In this document
the pontiff said that his chief object In
addressing the faithful in France was
to comfort them in their sufferings.
which he felt deeply.
There was, however, great consola'
ton in the fact that the Catholics OF
France were united. The French gov
ernments declaration OF war was not
only against the Christian faith, but
against all spiritual ideas The French
| Catholics must be prepared for all
sorts of trials. but they were certain
of final victory. This meant the main
tenance of their union with the holy
see. which was Of the greatest i'm
portance.
The church did not desire a religious
war involving violent prosecutions.
Being a messenger of peace and car
rying ont her mission Loyalty. the
church did not willingly expose herself
| 10 war and prosecutions, as she did not
desire to see her children suffering.
Regarding the ecclesiastical proper
| ties the encyclical said the pope had
not abandoned them. The French gov
eminent had imposed on the Catholics
OF France an organization which the
| church was absolutely unable to ac-
cept. The church could not prevent
the unjust spolation in progress for
as the proposed cultural associations
were opposed 10 the hierarchy estab-
! lshed by Christ, the pope condemned
them. in spite OF the consequent ma
terial injuries. To say that this dis
posed of the abandoned properties
OF the church was adding derision to
spoliation.
The encyclical then says: ut re
mains TO examine the law recently
voted by the chambers. From the
point of view of church property the
law is a law of spollation and confsca-
ton and has consummated the pillage
OF the church
although her divine founder was
born poor in a stable and died poor on
the cross, and although she knows
poverty from the cradle. the property
she was possessed Of none the less be-
| longed to her and no one had the right
to deprive her of it. This ownership,
indisputably hers from every point OF
view. has been officially sanctioned by
the state
The statement that the government
disposed of the abandoned properties
| Of the church Is adding derision
! spoliation.
From the point Of view OF the ex-
ercise OF religion the new law has or
ganized anarchy. II installs a regime
OF uncertainty and arbitrariness. There
| Is uncertainty as to whether the
| churches. which are always liable TO
disaffection. shall or shall not in the
meanwhile be at the disposal OF the
clergy and faithful"

Authorized BY Episcopal Bishop OF
Maine For Those In France.

Portland. Me. Jan. Fright Rev
Robert Goldman. ID. d.. Episcopal
bishop of Maine, has authorized the
churches in his diocese to offer a spe'
cial prayer in behalf of the Roman

20 Heavenly Father. behold in mercy
our sister, the Catholic church In
France. and if it be Thy will that she
meet with persecution. poverty or hui
initiation, let II be for her good and for
Thy glory. Grant that she may seek
her victory not in fame and glorious
deeds not in new wealth and luxury,
not in the humiliation of her enemies,
nor in the triumph OF her ambitions,
but in the power of the sacramento
life in the priest and people, In the
family and in the home. We ask this
in the name OF our common Lord and
Bishop OF our souls, to whom be all
the glory. Amen"

Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain II Is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind Is due 70 the
violation Of certain OF Natures laws.
But 10 say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal 70
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
IL would be harsh, unsympathetlc,
cruel, yes criminal, TO condemn the poor,

under the heavy load OF household cares
and burdens and suffers from weak

FAULTY LEGISLATION

The usual number of obscure and
otherwise defective laws will be en-
acted by American legislatures this
year It has been suggested that II
should be the particular duty of some
technically skilled official to see that
bills are in proper form before they
are introduced in the Legislative body.
The veto power Of the governor may
prevent some faults in legislation
and the courts are competent to dis,
cover flaws after a bill has become a
law, but close preliminary scrunity
rs lacking in most legislatures. The
duties performed by the official
known in England as the parliament
airy counsel furnish the best example
Of the kind Of supervision required.
I'm England and on the continent the
most important proposed legislation
emanates directly from the govern
ment. The government bills are
thoroughly examined by the parlia-
mentary counsel, and the member Of
parliament who can discover imper-
fectlons as to matters of form must
be exceedingly ingenious. When a
bill of great Importance is offered by
the government the parliamentary
counsel may find II necessary to con-
suit scores of persons whose opinions
are valuable. He must examine in
some instances a mass of previous
legislation on the subject to avoid a
conflict Of laws and other pitfalls.
Certain government measures receive
the minute attention OF the parlia-
mentary counsel for years before
they were submitted to parliament.
Thus it Is said that the local govern
ment act passed in 1888 was under
by that official for ten
years before it reached parliament.
Great care is taken that the bills
shall be as clear and as brief as pos
sible. The purpose OF some leglsla-
lion is ,ost in maze of legal verbiage
but an effort is made to draw gov
7rnment bill so that it can be under
stood by laymen as we'll as lawyers.

ing block In American states In
which that feature of a bin is subject
o constitutional regulation, receives
'areful attention from the English
counsel In Massa-

ing as far as lies In their power the
evil, which the connivance OF 'some
and the ignorance OF others have
produced. THE SUN lifted its voice
only when Z was clear that the knav-
cry Of a few members of the board
would ruin the system, and If 1t has
been instrumental in enlightening
the conscientious members OF the
board as to the manner in which they
have been made dupes, We take to
ourselves an humble measure of self
satisfaction. IL we have, by exposing
plans of the self-constituted dicta-
tors of the board, thwarted them, and
have by argument and protest made
lighter the task Of the incoming su-
perintendent, our satisfaction is in
the accomplishment, not the triumph.
Having done this, and feeling that
perhaps we have in some measure
made II easier for Trustee Byrd to re
linquish the onerous duties and IN
remuneration of the sec
retaryship, which we understand he
will surrender, more or less volun-
tairly, ere many weeks, we entertain
some hope OF preventing the prostitu-
tion of the High school principalship
to the exigencies of school politics.
The High school principal is scarcely
second in importance to the superin-
tendent. II is a pity we have to lose
Professor George Payne, for We feel
that a new era is dawning for Padu-
cab schools, and he and Professor
Lieb, working in harmony, have in
creased the attendance an hundred
per cent; fostered a school spirit
where before none existed and
brought the system up to a standard
recognized by all the first-class col
leges of the country. We must suf-
fer no backward step. We must have
for our High school principal a man
of scholarly attachments, of executive
ability; of dignity and integrity of
character. The books they study in
the schools are Of less importance to
the pupils than the teachers with
whom they associate and from whom
they learn by precept and example.
