Cardinal Gibbons Says They

Patriotism Of Those in the Roman

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 27.-An article
will appear in the March number of
the North American Review from
Cardinal Gibbons in which the car.
dinal replies categorically to charges
made by Lutheran and Baptist minis.
ters affecting the loyalty of members
of the Catholic communion.
Cardinal Gibbons begins by saying
that fifteen millions of Catholics live
their lives in our land with unds.
lurbed belief in the perfect harmony
existing between their religion and
their duties as American citizens.
1T never occurs to their minds to
question the truth of a belief which
all their experience confirms. Love
of religion and love of country burn
together in their hearts. They love
their church as the divine spiritual
society set up by Jesus Christ,
through which they are brought into
a closer communion with God, learn
his revealed truth and his holy law,
receive the help they need to lead
Christian lives and are inspired with
the hope of eternal happiness
Love Their Country.
They love their country with the
spontaneous and ardent love of all
patriots, because 1t is their country
and the source TO them of untold
blessings. &
They prefer its form of govern
ment before any other. They admire
its institutions and the spirit OF its
laws. They accept the constitution
without reserve, with no desire as
Catholics. to see 1t changed in any
feature. They can with a clear con-
science swear to uphold II.
With an appreciation, the greater
because their fathers or they them
selves have known persecution-in the
British Isles, in Germany, In Poland
and elsewhere-,they prize both the
liberty they, enjoy as citizens and the
liberty assured to the church. The
separation of church and state in this
country seems to them the natural,
inevitable and best conceivable plan,
the one that would work best among
us, both for the good of religion and
of the state. Any change In their
relations they would contemplate with
dread"
On Church and state.
The cardinal ends the article by
saying: American Catholics rejoice
in our separation of church and state
and can conceive no combination
OF circumstances likely to arise which
would make union desirable either
to church or state. We know the
blessings OF our present arrangement;
1t gives us liberty and binds together
priests and people in union better
than that OF church and state. Other
countries, other manners. We do not
believe our system adapted to all con
ditions; we leave 1t to church and
state In other lands to solve theiI
problems for their own best interests

Mrs. Cepola Entirely Wrecks the
Ladies' Beneficial Society Of
Wilmerding, Pa.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 24.-Mrs
Mary Cepola, an athletic looking
young matron of Wilmerding, was
fined S. today for assault and bat
terry on the person of Mrs. Stella
Pokal and others comprising the
Ladies Beneficial society of Will
merding.
Mrs. Polal is treasurer of the
Ladies Beneficial society, and Mrs.
Cepola had demanded an audit of
the society books. Mrs. Pokal had
asserted that she would whip Mrs.
Cepola on sight. Mrs. Cepola de-
cided when she started to attend a
meeting recently that she would
slip her husbands brass knuckles
into her stocking-to be used in
case of trouble. One of the mem
bers said on the stand today that
Mrs. Pokal sort of butted Mrs. Ce-
pola in the stomach and knocked
her over the table"
Other evidence was that as Mrs.
Cepola struggled to her fet she was
again floored by an unabridged die
tionary, which caught her in the
back of the neck. Mrs. Cepola ap-
pears to have become angry about
this time, but before getting to her
feet for another knockdown reached
into her stocking for the knuckles
and began to fight Mrs. Cepola is
said to have whipped all of the &c
members present.

most clearly the principle Of ex-
ecutive action which governed the
Roosevelt administration. The
people properly consider the ex-
ecutive as their particular advo-
cate, their special representative.
His stewardship carries with 1t
grave responsibilities.
President Roosevelt accepted
both responsibilities and opportu-
mites. The work for conservation
was possible because he was con-
stantly looking out for the pub
lie interest, and was willing to take
action for the public welfare unless
there was some prohibition under
the constitution or in law to pre-
vent such action.
The next step in the policy Of
conservation is legislative action
to supplement- what the executive
has done and to provide the
means for further safeguarding
the public interests wherever nee
essary.

| opposed, by report and oral
hearing, the bills that proposed to
validate fraudulent or illegal en-
tries, and pointed out the danger of
those fields passing under monopo-
listic control, and urged that the
proposed law apply only to bona
lide entries or claims.
Illegal and fraudulnt acquisition
of coal lands was stoppd, the great
er part of the main land coal was
classified, much coal land illegally
acquired was recovered, the dan
gers of waste and monopolies were
exposed, and definite suggestions
were made for a system of lease or
conditional sale.
The enormous increase in the use
of water for power, irrigation and
domestic consumption has induced
great activity on the part of big in
terests to acquire as many avail
able reservoir and power sites as
possible.
There was imminent danger that
such sites left on the public domain
would be filed upon and obtained
under conditions that would in no |
wise protect the public, but would |
make monopoly possible in the near
future.
President Roosevelt brought the |
question Of control of power de. |
velped on navigable streams direct |
ly to the attention of congress and |
stated the policy he believed neces-
sary to protect the public interests. |
The essential features of that pol |
icy were that power sites should be |
granted only under conditions that |
would limit grants to a definite
period and yield fair compensation
to the government.
The work under the reclama
ton law is directly connected with
power Development. Wherever
reservoirs and dams are needed
for irrigation projects there may
be opportunity for power. Hence
both objects may be often com
bined with advantage to the pub
lie.

SO he conceived the idea of blasting

These are the foods invented by Prof An

The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into

That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
