FRANCE AND THE POPE.

N the statement or allocution it is Of
u fically named OF the Pope the strained rela-
tons between the Vatican and the French Repub-
lie are recalled. There is no indication that the
attitude of the Pontif towards France has
changed sor will change.
So much has been written of the troubles
between the head of this great church and the
civil authorities of France, that it is difficult at
times to arrive at correct opinion Of them.
Affairs in the old countries between church and
state are closely interviewer. The Union of church
and state which is prevalent in nearly all the Eu-
ropean nations is so different from the relations
between the two here that Americans often can
not understand the seriousness of ruptures that
occur between ecclesiastical and civic authorities,
In France, however, the basic difficulty appears
to be in dealing with a government composed
chiefly of avowed non-beevers They are not
only hostile to the Roman Catholic religion but
to all religion and their attitude is not of year
or a generation For a century or more from
the time Of the Jacobins, at least there has been
a large element Of the irreigious in France, prob
ably greater than in any other country.
Whatever may be the immediate difficulties il
it were not for this nborn hostility of the leaders
who compose the administration, the friction be-
tween Rome and the French government would
not be so sharp. The belief that this is the under
lying cause OF much of the trouble is why many
religious papers, especially in this country ex.
press their intense sympathy for the church in
its conflict with the civil authorities.

FAIR TREATMENT FOR ALL.

A LREADY there are evidences that the COM
1 ing local prohibition campaign will arouse
bitterness in the State and the city before 1t has
progressed very far. One speaker in Wilmington
the other night intmated that it would be impos-
sible for the advocates of temperance to get iair
show in the newspapers because OF the liquor adj
vertisements that appear in them. TIE JOUR-
NAL believes this statement is wholly untrue, as
we are confident that the newspapers OF the State
will treat the temperance people fairly. When a
person advertises in newspaper he does so be-
cause he believes he is getting return Tor his
money, and seldom is it that any advertiser at
tempts to dictate the policy that paper shall
pursue on any public question. Indeed we cam
not recall thata single advertiser in THE JOUR
NAL. for instance, has ever intimated a desire to
control the news columns Of the paper.
And as a matter Of fact the business that the
newspapers receive from advertisements OF liq-
uors is comparatively small
There is difference OF opinion concerning the
best method Of dealing with the liquor traffic that
will find expression during the campaign. We
trust that thus early in the fray there will be no
unjust charges Of undue influence which could
not be substantated.

GROWTH OF BOARD. OF TRADE.

THE Board OF Trade has set the goal OF mem
Il bershp at 1000, and President Maclean has
appointed a committee to labor with that object in
view. The number seems large, and yet it is not
improbable that this figure will be secured. A
few years ago a similar committee was appointed
with most gratifying results.
The membership Of the board was largely in
creased and its regular meetings became one Of
the features Of commercial and social life OF the
city. The Board of Trade has made steady prog
ress. 1t occupies high position among the ma
tonal bodies; its delegates have been honored at
the national meetings, and it is well thought OF
in the commercial circles throughout the country.
With the increase in membership that is sure 70
follow the new campaign of the board, that or
ganization will accomplish still further beneficial
results for the advancement Of Wilmington.

POLICE FOR CITY BEAUTIFULLY


THE Police Commissioners have decided to
4 cooperate with the Board OF Trade in the
campaign for Wilmington Beautiful and they
can render much valuable aid. The scattering of
paper and other rubbish about the city in the
streets and on vacant lots in a large measure can
be halted by the policemen 1t is often done
through carelessness, though some times inten-
tional. Most cities have stringent ordinances
against the waste paper nuisances, and they are
rgidy enforced, as some Wilmihgtonians can
testify. The Board OF Trade committee should
receive the hearty cooperation for the city beau
tiFul from the Police Department and from all
other branches of the city government. But the
encouragement should not halt there In some
cities the committees Of the various women's or
ganizations are foremost in the work of beauti-
flying the city, and at Hazleton Pa, for instance
there is a club OF women devoted to that special
purpose No movement OF this kind can succeed
without the help of the womens organizations
and THE JOURNAL has no doubt that the local
clubs of the fairer sex will render every assist
ance possible to the committee Of the Board OF
Trade
