Now. Archbishop of Boston.

With the death of the Most Rev
erend Archbishop, Williams, the Most
Reverend William H. o'connell, D. D.
who has been Archbishop Coadiutor
since January. 1905. becomes Arch
bishop of Boston. The strong, young
living hand lifts the crozier, symbol
Of authority. as 1t falls from the life
less fingers OF him who bore it 90
nobly; and priests and people revere
IN the new standard bearer another
miracle of the continuity of the Church
successor Of the apostles. So the
miracle Of the continuity of the church
goes on. says the Pilot.
In! his. eulogya of his great prede-
cessor. eloquent with truth, Archbishop
O'Connell incidentally reveals his own
ideals; and very directly and feeling
ly asks the prayers Of his priests and
people for strength andi grace for the
awful responsibility which now de-
wolves upon him. 1t would be mani
testify unfit to add aught to what he
has spoken.
His Grace IS :, no, stranger raj to the
priests and people whose spiritual chief
he has become. A native American
and a son Of the diocese, as were both
his immediate predecessors; with q
long and careful ecclesiastical training
in Rome; with priestly experience in
some of the poorest and most crowded
sections Of his, present episcopal city;
with administrative experience as the
head Of his Alma Mater and Bishop of
the diocese of Portland Me. with the
prestige Of success in an extraordinary
mission as envoy Of the Pope to japan;
and more than a years exercise Of a
coadjutors functions in confidential re-
lations with Archbishop Williams, he
has had an extraordinary preparation
for the work before him.
To him it falls to round out Boston's
hundred years as a bishopric, and to
meet the new problems crowdine thick
and fast at the threshold Of her second
century. -...
He has the support Of his priests
the fealty of his people. and Of both
the prayers which he asks that the
strength OF God NAV work in him
Nor can we who believe in the COM
munion OF saints. doubt that he has
also the loving prayers Of his illustri-
Gus predecessor ...

ASSERTION coNTRADlcTED.
Members of Nationalist Party in Phil
ippines Issue Statement.

.. Manila, P. l., June %. 1907.
WHEREAS, 1t has been asserted in
the United States that the concession
Of independence to the Philippine Is
lands would be equivalent to the de-
struction of the Catholic Church and
its property, because the granting Of
their independence would give rise to
a crusade Of persecution against the
Church and its property in the Philip
pine Islands:
WHEREAS. This is. an assertion
lacking all foundation. inasmuch as
the majority of the Filipinos are
Catholics and are thus incapable Of
harboring any hostile feelings against
their own Church. entertaining for it
and its functionaries a deep seated and
profound respect, and as it is not to
be assumed that they would give their
assent to nor tolerate anything
which could vex or injure the interests
SO dear to them:
WHEREAS. 1t is a general and al
most unanimous conviction on the part
of the Filipino people. a. conviction
strengthened through the circum-
stances following the separation of the
Church and the State and the sanction
Of religious liberty in these Islands.
according to which conviction the best
government in this respect will be
just and democratic, under the protec-

and all the institutions established so
for by the opponents Of different reli-
gious creeds shall find guarantee. safe
" and respect. so that actually
neither the Roman Catholic Church
nor any other Church whose adherents
are non Catholic inhabitants of these
Islands, shall be exposed to any men
ace or injury or interference, said gov
eminent recognizing de facto the free
dom of the Church under the protec-
ton of the democratic institutions of
a free State;
WHEREAS, Prominent leaders of
the movement in favor of the imme-
date independence of the Philippine
Islands, who at the same. time are
prominent and open partizans Of the
Roman Catholic Church, believe that
the growth and the preservation of
this Church will be even better guaran-
teed in case of independence than they
are likely to be under the present re-
gime. it being a positive fact that the
most devoted Philippine Catholics ap-
pear in the ranks of the Nationalist
Party or show a pronounced sympathy
with the said party and it's ideals;
NOW. THEREFORE, We affirm that
the declaration of independence of the
Philippine Islands would not imply
any danger whatsoever to the Catho-
lie Church nor to it's property because
they would be duly respected by the
authorities of the Philippine Republic
as they were respected by the Govern
ment of Malolos, and we further affirm
that such is the sincere belief Of all
who sign the present document.

Reasons for Catholic Schools.

The reasons can all be reduced to
this one. The Catholic child hae a
right to a Catholic education and has
need Of it; therefore there must be
schools in which they can receive such
an education. If the state will not
adopt a system broad enough and fair
ana generous enough to admit within
its folds the religious schools which
combine secular with religious instruc-
ton. then we Catholics must establish
and support, without state aid, our own
Catholic schools, writes Rev, E. A.
Higgins. s. J.
