PAPAL DECREE ON MARRIAGE

Through the ministrations Of Father
James p. Barry, of st. Paul's Roman
Catholic Church, of this city, aXing-
ton, we are given an Interpretation of
the recent Papal Decree concerning
marriage, the marriage relationship,
the issue thereof, and the particular
force of the decree as affecting chill
dren born Of an issue wherein the cOu-
tracing parties are not both of The
Catholic faith, but in case where one
parent is Il Catholic and the other not
a Catholic their progeny are held to
be illegitimate unless the marriage be
solemnized at the altar of Catholic
church and the children brought up in
the Catholic faith.
There can be no doubt that the
prompting motive underlying the de
cree is to be found i'm the fact that so
many Catholics and mont Catholics are
contracting the marriage relation in
utter disregard Of the Catholic doe
trne and teaching, and in many in
stances, the contracting Catholic is in
part or in whole weaned from attend
ing mass and manifests a delinquency
in church membership, and in order
to maintain the faith intact, TO pre-
vent any possible inroads upon tie Or
ganization, the decree comes as Dies
perate effort to control all Catholics,
whether merely nominal or active, by
drastic measures affecting their chill
dren. While there can be legal i'm
pediment laid at the door Of such mar
riages, no dsnheritance. no bastard
ling of children, in the eyes of the
statutory law, yet there are many
timid people who will be seriously
affected by such measure and it is
to this class that the manifesto has
been mainly directed
Father Barry, in an explanatory
sermon, based upon the decree. pro-
ceeds to demonstrate the attitude OF
tht church toward marriage, and ar
CUES that it is natural contract # d.

be considered a well read man but if
he really and sincerely believes what
he says about marriage to be true, 1t
Is evident that he does not yet under
stand the subject. 1t is also evident
that he does not understand the attl-
tude Of Jesus toward marriage, for
nowhere in the new Testament account
OF the lie and sayings of Jesus did
he ever encourage marriage, and what
is more, Jesus made no effort to en-
courage marriage by taking unto him
self wife as an example. On the
contrary, if we have read the new
tes,ament right, Jesus disfavored
marriage, for we are told that when
asked If 1t was better to marry, he re-
piled that it was better to become a
eunuch for the kingdom Of heaven
sake, thereby leading us to infer that
he oeemed celibacy and impotency as
Il better passport to eternal life than
the institution Of marriage. Under
such conditions it cannot be true thai
Jesus elevated the marriage contract
to sacrament or even placed an air
Of supposed divinity about it.
In order to bring the subject before
the Catholic churches IL pastoral let
ter has been prepared and signed by
"a number Of bishops and archbishops
as a sort of agreement that unanimity
in construction might obtain. In this
pastoral letter Catholics are forbidden
to act AS grOOmsmen or bridesmaids at
non-Catholic weddings, thereby in
tending to create an estrangement be-
tween the sects. Permission can be
given for such Il proceeding but the
power of the priest is considerably
enhanced by compelling Catholics to
first obtain that permission and thus
another condition of servitude is
created. To be valid and binding Il
marriage must be preceded by writ
ten engagement, and the engagement
contract signed in the presence of wit
nesses. This pastoral refuses to rec
ogniZe any such contract unless the
subscribing witnesses also be Catho-
lies, thereby placing premium upon
Catholic membership and utterly dis
paraging the members of other Sects
on the probable ground, that being
heretics, they cannot testify truthfully
to what took place in their presence.
Under the new decree Catholic mar
riages before judicial officer are in
valid. This is designed to eflectually
put stop to marriages of Catholics
unless sanctioned by the church. 1t
means more power for the church over
the home, over the domestic economy,
and the issue Of such marriages. Ag-
grandizement of the church through
the priest is the sole aim of the new

order of things. 1t will fail, just as
other uecrees affecting The rights OF
individuals have failed The i'm
potency OF the present decree Will,
ere long, become manifest, for IN this
aye even Catholics are not disposed to
accept ARBITRARY rulings of the priest
hood upon matters affecting indl-
vidual rights.

out the church, Catholic or nOn-Catho-
lie, and one would think that consider
able time has been wasted and energy
misspent in the construction of this lat
est decree of the Vatican. The church
cannot control marriage. 1t has tried
to do SO but in vain. The civil courts
have more power over marriage and
divorce than the church can boast to-
day and being within the law con-
tracing parties will have but little re-
gard for the church or its DEGREES.
carriage did not begin in Eden, as
Father Barry declares, for the insti-
tuition existed long before the Mosaic
period began. \ persual of the old
testament viii bear this out for in it
we find traces Of all sorts of marriages
taken from the customs of surround
ing cults. There is marriage both by
capture and by purchase. Abraham
purchased Rebecca for his son Isaac
and Jacob was compelled to purchase
Rachel and Leah by giving seven years
of labor for each. The members of
the tribe of Levi waited at night until
the young women of the tribe of
Benjamin came out to dance and then
pounced upon them, stole them and
carried them away for wives.

The Portland Evening Telegram

There is a burglar In Portland who
Is hard up-more so than even a
promoter during the present Mt.
Pelee condition Of Portland finance.
He had a job last night that the YER

cause he was so very shy on coin.
This bold burglar, racklng his brain
for a place to rob. thought first OF

there are numerous, he knew, and
chances of success slight.
Then he thought OF the newspaper
offices OF all the crimes he had ever
committed and Of all he had ever
read about, he could not recall a sim
gle instance Of the lootlng OF news
paper office. 1t must have been an
oversight, he thought; he himself
would reap the benefit OF its clever

Then he dellberated on which paper
1t would be. II he should choose tho

must climb eight flights OF stairs. for
the elevators at that hour were clos

the editorial rooms OF which are on
the second floor of the Goodnough
building, Fifth and Yamhlll streets.
He had heard wonderful stories Of
the wealth OF reporters. and had also
heard that they secrete much OF their
possessions In their desks. Some one
had told him that in addition to an
abundance OF conversation the office
would probably be fat with actual
cash, and perhaps even Jewels.
So to the editorial rooms OF the
Journal he went. Just how he gain
ed entrance is as yet unknown, but It
is believed he used skeleton key
to open the door leading from the
hallway into the city editors room.
At any rate, that door was found to
be open this morning.
Once inside he encountered little
difficulty in ransacking the entire
suite occupied by the editorial depart
ment. Desks were looted, drawers
searched, and even waste paper bas-
kets turney topsy turvy in his search
for plunder. What did he get?
He got what the little boy shot
at" said a member of the staff today
in describing the result OF the burg
lars efforts.

LAW WILL STIMULATE RIFLE PRACTICE

Washington, D. c., Jan. AT the
coming meeting of the National Guard
association in Boston, January 13 to
Is, the most important legislation
suggested since the enactment of
the Dick law five years ago. will
come before the association for dis
cussion.
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the association was held in
Washington recently with Acting Sec
retary Of War Oliver and members
of the general staff at which the
provisions of a bill were agreed up
on which will take the place of the
Dick act.
1t is a very comprehensive meas
ure and is believed by its authors to
obviate many Of the difficulties which
have heretofore prevented the militia
from complying with the require
ments of the Dick act as to confor-
nation.
Among important notifications is
one allowing each organized division
of the militia one inspector Of small
arms practice with the rank of lieu
tenant colonel; each brigade. one
with the rank Of major; each regi-
ment Of infantry or cavalry one with
the rank of captain. and each sep
arate battalion or squadron, one with
the rank of first lieutenant.
The president is to be empowered
to specify in his call the period Of
service, when the organized militia
is called into service to repel inva-
sion or suppress insurrection, and
the militia shall be so called into SER
vice in advance OF any volunteer
force which 1t may determine to
raise.
Another important change is in
section 8. which now directs that
court-martial for the trial Of offlc-
ers and men Of the militia, when in
service Of the United States shall be
composed Of militia officers only
This is to be amended so as to make
it read, "the majority membership"
OF such court-martial shall be COM
posed Of militia officers.
Probably the most important
change is in section 13. which now
empowers the secretary OF war to
issue standard magazine guns, bay
onets, etc, to arm the militia as the
army Is armed. It is proposed to
amend this section by authorizing
the secretary OF war to issue from
time to time under such regulations
as he may prescribe, such number OF
the United States service arms and
all accessories and such other accou-

Alleging that C. d. Hllman has re-
fused to carry out his agreement to
pay $500 to the parents of the first
baby born at Boston Harbor, tract
of land near Olympia, II. d. Younk-
man, a Green Lake barber, has
buckled on his armor and made a
solemn vow that he will wreak ven-
geance on the real estate man, says
Seattle dispatch.
Younkman is the father Of the first
baby born in Boston Harbor. He
has demanded his reward, but Hill
man arrests that he is not entitled
to it, and has flatly refused to pay.
Younkman has hired an attorney
to fight his case, but his fatherly
pride has been so deeply aroused
that his friends fear that H. will not
have the patience to wait for the
slow wheels of the law to grind out
decision, but will resort to a
speedier method.
/ Younkman openly declares that he
will meet Hillman II he has to wait
until next spring. and that when they
do come together the collision is going
to be something awful. There Is
blood in his eye, and his friends have
implored the seller of land to employ
body guard.
when l came here last summer
! from the east. an entire stranger"
explained the indignant barber yes
| terday, II saw the extensively ad-
vertised offer of Hillman to pay $500
to the parents of the first baby born
on his land, and decided to take ad-
vantage of it, / bought a tract of
ground with a house on it, paying
$1,000.
Before making the purchase, how
ever, | took the pains to ask Hillman
personally if he meant just what ho
said and he replied affrmatively.
The conversation took place aboard
the steamboat on the last excursion
to the townsite given by Hlllman."
The infant, whose father fondly ex-
pected was to bring a prize of $500
with it, was born at Boston Harbor
three weeks ago. 1t is a fine looking
baby girl. Hillman was taken by
surprise. and when the happy parents
came around for the prize. he said
he could not pay the money under
the circumstances.
The real estate man asserts that he
is the victim of a conspiracy between
the Green Lake barber and the stork.
He defends himself on the grounds
that Younkman had tip from the
stork that the latter was going to
pay a visit to his home. and took ad-
vantage of the advance information
to try to get the money by get-rich-
quick methods.
