Of
ADJUSTMENT
Conflict Between Church
and State to End
PROPOSITION is SUBMITTED
FRENCH BISHOPS SUBMIT PLAN
TO FRENCH GOVERNMENT THAT
MAY LEAD TO THE SETTLE
MENT or THE CHURCH AND
STATE SEPARATION FIGHT.

Paris, Jan. ga proposition which
the French bishops with the approval
of the pope have now submitted to the
government seems to offer the first
real prospect of an adjustment of the
conflict between the church and state
under the separation regimen. While
It Involves the material notification Of
the position taken in the last papal
encyclical, the proposition put forward
has all the appearance of an ultima
tuin
Whether the government in spite Of
the concessions made in the interest Of
religious peace will accept the settle
ment based upon absolute recognition
of the Roman hierarchy remains to be
seen The model contract which the
bishops have submitted provides for a
virtual lease of the churches in per-
petuity to parish priests by the may
ors, the lease being for eighteen years
and renewable by their successors. The
leases, which carry the stipulation en-
gaging communal. municipal and state
authorities not to interfere with the
administration of the church and par
ish are invalid without the express
ratification of the bishop and become
null the moment the parish priest loses
the bishops authorization. The bish-
ops must act together to insure the ac-l
ceptance Of the contracts everywhere
or nowhere.

;, held at New Orleans last winter the
motion to give aid and comfort to
the Grand Lodge Of Georgia In its
effort to put the Negro knights out
of business was unanimously carried.
In that gathering Of distinguished
gentlemen was James E.. Watson,
representative from the sixth district
of Indiana. ....
Mr.. Watson aspires to the COVER
norship of his State. In fact, it is
said, the heighth Of his political am
bition now Is to wear Gov. Hanly's
shoes. 1t seems pity that a man
who has made such AN enviable re-
cord in the councils Of the nation
should have been a party to scheme
to crush an organization which could
not, If it would, injure his Order.
The colored Knights, with Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence es
their motto, have as their aim the
betterment Of themselves and their
fellows morally, and financially. How
well they have succeeded it is not
possible to determine with any exact
ness as to the first. Financially their
growth has been marvellous and year
ly they are getting further from a
just accusation of poverty and idle
ness.
There are not nor have there been
any grounds for the contentious of
Mr.. Watson and his associates. So
weak, in truth, was their position
that it could not be sustained even
by Georgia court. Yet the white
Supreme Lodge voted unanimously to
allow the suit to be brought in it's
name, and Mr.. Watson was a member
of that body.
1t will be worth while to wait and
see what the attitude of the Negroes
of Indiana will be toward Mr.. Wat
sons candidacy. 1t is to be hoped
tt at, unlike their brethren across the
line who are now tumbling over one
another in their mad haste to get
into the procession OF the men they
have abused the past six months,
they will. without any tom toms or
red fire, register their disapproval
in conventions or primaries, as the
case may be, of Mr.. Watson's hos
tility to the race.
