remains to be seen what modern form of

when poor little Joan receives her belated
reward for the priceless services which
her own generation repaid to her In the
coin of suspicion. betrayal, persecution
and final martyrdOm.
Doubtless these public meetings -on the
soil which owed its liberty to her firm
faith and her white banner mean all the
more to France since for a while at least
her worship must remain strictly national.

Two dozen other men in the freshman
class of the House are still in their
thirties. Carl Anderson of FostOria. Ohio,
who is close second to Mr.. Elvins for
the honor OF being the ''baby of the
House," is older by only two months and
a half. He, too. was only thirty when
elected.
Anderson has had q meteoric career
as a self-made man. When ten he was q
bootbl at Fremont. At sixteen he had
saved enough to buy little home for his
mother, and, after working as railway
yardmaster, bill clerk and drummer the
next nine years, he packed of to Fostoria
with a young bride and enough cash in
his pocket to open an underwear factory.
He now operates three of these plants
and since he has been in their midst,
these past five years. the Fostorians have
twice elected him mayor. AS happy
coincidence, his young wife presented
him with a son on the same day that
the democrats Of the thirteenth district
presented him with the nomination to
Congress. This date also happened to be
the young mothers birthday.
Another Buckeye self-E ade Of the
House freshman class is James NJ. Cox Of
Dayton. After working as a ploughboy
on a farm near Jacksonburg he became
a newsboy at Amanda and then a print
ers devil on a Dayton paper. Soon he
was reporter. and soon again he was
owner and editor Of two Ohio dailies. the
Dayton News and the Springfield News.

which she had lived and for which she
was to die six days later And it was
known that the approval of the University
of Paris was given on the supposition
that the facts against her submitted to
them were correct, whereas they were not
established at all. and consequently this
APPROVAL itself, though given in good faith,
was based on treachery and so was ir-
regular. Thus all the isolated points
drawn up against her to lose her and all
that she meant for France vanished lit
tie by little until history no longer took
them seriously. Yet the great fact re-
mained that she who had acted In Gods
name had been condemned and burned by
ecclesiastics called together in Gods
name to judge her.
But this version. which cast unflattering
reflections on the Roman Catholic Church
for first condemning her and then sancti-
flying her some centuries later when the
blunder was recognized, has been demol-
ished by the documents brought forward
relative to the original examination of

ton: the process on the reputation for
sanctity. the process on the heroicity of
virtues and the process on the miracles.
The first, or the reputation of sanctity,
was established by the facts already sub
mitted. but examined in greater detail
ten years after the introduction of the
cause. More delicate and more important
was the second. the process on the
heroicity of virtues. Not only had it to
be proved that Joan practiced Christian
virtues, but practiced them to a heroic
degree. and that no isolated fact of her
life was or nature TO infirm her heroi-
city. This decree of heroicity was read
on her anniversary, January o. 1901 Then
followed the third and last process. that
of the miracles. At least two miracles
are required to prove that God allows
the venerable to intervene as saint;
where cures are concerned the evidence or
physicians Is required, and all cases which
might be explained by nervous phenomena
or which are of a transitory nature are
vigorously excluded. When the decree of
Joan's miracles was read December 13,
1905 three miracles were accepted as
and reliable witnesses; in 1900 Sister The
resa Of st. Augustin, at the Orleans con-
vent, dying OF cancer OF the stomach,
was cured instantaneously by an invoca
tion to Joan Of Arc: in 1893, at Favorolles,
another man. Julie Gauthier. suffering
from tubercular ulcers of the legs which
had been considered incurabe for ten
years. was cured by prayer addressed
to Joan. In 1891. at Bruges, Sister
Jeanne Marie Sagn'er Of the congrega-
ton of the holy family, was cured of
cancer of the breast on the fifth day of
a noyena to Joan.
This third decree being promulgated,
there remained only the de tuto decree,

cision on the assembled facts. For this
