NOT o. Catholic in tho world who
would mot have welcomed apuatHtiuu
.iu France. lut Catholics in France
naturally object to being plundcrpd
and robbed and kicked out of their
own country and that by % majority
which does not represent The French
people, and whose action b. nude nos.
siblc by the fact that while Franc.

centralized Government than Russia.
And lct mo- one who believes in re-
ligion mistake the issue. u g. "a war
against Jesus Christ aud against the
idea of God. and " they can dispose
of the Catholic Church today they
will make short work of Protestant
ism and Judaism tomorrow. They
viii never stop.
TT IS WAR AGAINST RELIGION.
Every priest and every Sister i'm
France is q reproach To that mad
carnival of vice which the French
Republic is fostering. Therefore.
Clcmenccau. BRAND Combes and
their like do not see the public inn
morality that faunts itself upon the
streets of Paris; they must send sol
diers to drive out some 10000 women

Illustrated papers or the impure liter
allure that is corrupting the Continent
of Europe. They must insult Jesus
Christ and His religion.
POINTS TO FRENCH AMBASSADOR
And in the meantime, if Mr.. JUS
serand takes note of this meeting and
reports it to his Government, ! hope
he will not forget to tell them that
decent and free Americans despise
religious persecution and that they
have no word to express their con
tempt for this Government as repre-
scented by Clemenceau, BRAND,
Combes and their ill5 Let them re-
member also that the mob who shot
down the priests in the French Revo-
luton also beheaded the King and
finally sent many a blatant dema-
gogue to the guillotine, and notice,
too, that when the italian Government
sent troops to protect the Vatican
they did not forget also to surround
the Kings palace. There is food for
thought here"

. View OfThe French
Separation Policy

At a citizens meeting held at the
Columbia Theatre in Washington
lately, resolutions were adopted pro-
testing against the action of the
Freonch Government under the So
called separation act. 1t was Il meet
ing at which there were both protest
ant and Catholic speakers. Among the
Catholic Speakers were was Rev.
John NJ. Van Schaick, pastor of the
Universalist church of Our Father.
In his address he said:
you have come and L have come
because our hearts are stirred within
us, because we love justice and fair
play, because We are impelled to de-
clare our conviction, express our
sympathy and reach out our hands to
help.
Il am Protestant. l was born a
Protestant. L am proud of the Prot
estant traditions of my fathers, and
happy in my work as a minister of
the Protestant Church, but / want to
say fairly and squarely that Protest
antism will miss high and noble OPP
portunity if it does not rise with in
dignation and power and protest
against the wrong done the Catholics
of France.
Men of every creed and sect ought
to get together upon an occasion like
this. It's not the question as to
whether we like the Catholics or the
Catholics like us. / am glad that l
do. l am glad that L admire and
respect men like Father Stafford,
Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal
Gibbons. l am glad that have Cath
Ole friends as dear to me as Protest
ant, but if 1 did not it would be ex-
actly the same so far as the issue be-
fore us tonight is concerned. It's a
plain question of right and wrong. /
am glad to stand up and be counted
on what l believe is the right side"
DIR. STAFFORD'S RINGING SPEECH
Rev. DIR. ID. j. Stafford, pastor of
st. Patricli's Church, in the course OF
an address, said;
"Ihe action of the French Govern
ment has shocked the moral sense OF
every righteous man in the civilized
world. Nowhere is the shock more
keanly felt than in the United States
and it is felt not only by Catholic
but by non-Catholie as wen, for here
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-01-26

we have liberty in its true sense both
civil and religious, and we are, there
fore, able the better to judge and the
more heartily to condemn the tyranny
and persecution of the so-called
French Republic.
In principle and in fact today the
situation in France is the same as the
situation at the time of the French
Revolution. 1t is again question of
forcing civil constitution upon the
clergy, of having constitutional Bish-
ops, of making the State omnipotent,
of taking not only civil administration,
but also dogma and spiritual supe-
riors from the Government; of utterly
changing and destroying the consttu-
ton of the Catholic Church And if
this be not done or accepted by the
Pope and the Catholics we will take
your property away, abolish your
worship, says the chief highwayman,
Clemenceau, and BRAND, the brigand
and we will call this separation. The
Pope and the Catholics would be very
simple to be deceived by such a pro-
ceeding. There is only one step more
to make the parallel between the pres
ent and the French Revolution com
plete, and that is to gather the Bish-
ops and priests together on some in
nocent preteXt and shoot them down
in cold blood. And these worthy sons
of their Jacobin sires are capable of
that.
THANKS GOD FOR AMERICAN
"The French Press Association de-
serves the prize offered by some Eng
lishman for the finest example of
lying by telegraph as a fine art. They
continue to call this proceeding separ-
alton and to compare it to the Amer
lean condition. 1t is as different as
the poles of the Imagination. In
America separation means most per
feet liberty, for which daily thank
God; in France it means slavery,
Look at the inventory proceedings!
Imagine, if you can, the Congress of
the United States, backed by the
President, sending committee with
troop of soldiers to break in the
doors OF my church and count the
number of my church vestments, my
church possessions. Why, we would

Knott said
"Our countrymen are being mislcd

not the separation of the Church and

their purpose. II is the subiugation
of the Church and the confscation

property OF its religious and charita-
bile institutions which they are seek
ing. That purpose is, If possible. to
dc-Christianize France and TO turn
that nation, which owes its creation
and existence to the Catholic Church,
over again to the denominations of the
worship of the goddess of reason in
the person of some vile character,
sacrilogiously enthroned on the desc
Grated Catholic affairs. The Chris
tian people of our country ought to
be made to see the real meaning and
purpose of these miscreants, who now
hold France by the throt, as their
political and anti-Christian ancestors
once held it during the reign of terror.
That the people of this country will
do so i'm time l feel quite sure.

TO believe they will, to any extent,
give their countenance, sympathy and

nefauous proceedings when they
come to understand and realize their
object and purpose. 1t is a part of
a general propaganda of atheism
and fidelity, and If successful in
France that propaganda will be in

THE VATICAN THREATENED.
"The recent attempt of a Roman
mob to break into the Vatican and
insult and outrage the Holy Father

tile public criiism ln th, case of judges

SAFETY IN CRITICISM
con the other hand the danger Of
destroying the proper influence of ju-
dicinl decisions by creating unfondcd

and answered Courts must ultimately
rest their defense upon the inherent

dcation
There is one consideration which
should Jc taken into account by the
good people who carry sound propo-
sition TO an excess in objecting to any
criticism of judges decision. The in
stinct of the American people as whole
is sound i'm this matter. They will not
subscribe to the doctrine that any public
servant is to be above all criticism. If
the best citizens, those most competent

bar, so profoundly influential in Ameri-
can life, take the position that there
shall be no criticism of a judge under

accepted by the American people as

turn to, and tend to accept as justifia-

Surely it is misfortune to leave to.
such critics a function, right in itself,
which they are certain to abuse. Just
and temperate criticism, when necessary,
is safeguard against the acceptance by
the people as n whole of that intemper-
ate antagonism toward the judiciary
which must be combated by every right
thinking man, and which, if it became
widespread among the people at large,
would constitute a dire menate to the re-

THE ALGECIRAS CONVENTION.
The Algeciras convention, which was
signed by the United States as well as
by most of the powers of Europe, SUI
persedes the previous convention of 1880,
which was also signed both by the United
States and a majority of the European
powers. This treaty confers upon us
equal commercial rights with all Euro
epan countries and does not entail
single obligation of any kind upon us,
and l earnectly hope it may be speedily
ratified To refuse to ratIfy it would
merely mean that We forfeited our COM
mercial rights in Morocco and would not
achieve another object of any kind. In
the event of such refusal we would be
left for the first time in 100 years with
out any commercial treaty with Morocco
and this at time when we are every
where seeking new markets and outlets
for trade.

The receipts of fresh fish from the nets in
the Potomac are growing larger daily, but
as yet only bunch fish being caught.
The steamer Wakefield. which arrived here
yesterday morning from landings along the
lower river, brought up about 100 barrels
of fishs the bulk of which was consigned
to dealers here. The fish were on sale in
the local markets this morning.
In the barrels were white and yellow
perch, catfish, rock, bass, mullets carp and
other river fish, but no shad and few, if
any herring, in the shipment. A continual
ton of the bright warm weather, the fisher

up the Potomac with a rush. but no catches
are looked for until the water in the river,

Metropolitan Insurance Co. Method

For some time past corporations and
great fiduciary institutions-all organiza-
lions controlling or holding vast sums Of
money-have been the chief objects of pub
lie attention. Clear-headed men realize, 1t
is declared, that the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company of New York is coming
more and more to be recognized as an In
stitution whose attitude toward the public
is nearer to that of a generous philan-
thropist than an oppressive capitalist. This
company claims to conduct the business of
Insurance in way that can be under
stood by the ordinary citizen. The an
nounced method of the company is that it
estimates in the light of universal expert
ence and expert knowledge the actual cost
of insuring a life under given conditions,
exacts legitimate premium based upon
cost, writes a policy as definite and clear
as the simplest business contract, and then
pays every dollar the beneficiary expects
or hopes to receive.
