SHOOTING NIAGARA
Ignorance Of tho Bible in American

ignorance OF tho Bible IN American
Universities.
We clip the following from tine Ro-
chester Post-Express:
President Cyrus Northrop, of the
University of Minnesota, says that the
ignorance Of the Bible in American
universities is a disgrace to American
scholarship. He asserts that the aver
age freshman, or even senior, especial
ly in the east, if asked who Moses was,
would be as likely as not to put him
among the twelve apostles. Indeed, lie
says it is considered rather mark of
distinction in certain quarters to be
ignorant of the Scriptures. If this is
as Principal Northrop says-and the
president Of a state university may be
supposed to speak with knowledge and
a sense of responsibility, then colleg-
ian Ignorance of the Bible. is worse
than disgrace to American scholar
ship 1T marks a levity Of mind which
is menace to right living"
This statement of President North
rop, of the University of Minnesota,
is but one of the many evidences that
justifies Bishop McFaurs vigorous pro-
test against, and denunciation of, the
paganizing atmosphere prevalent in
certain of our universities, writes Rev.
DR.. Lambert in the New York Free
mans Journal, of which he is the edi-
tor.
The writings of Voltaire made inf
deity fashionable in France. It be-
came a fad among young men of the
so-called higher class-the mobiles. 1t
came to be thought an evidence of
genius, of profound philosophical
mind, and even Of wit. The initiative
bourgeoisie followed suit, as women
follow the fashion in bonnets, and at
about the same expenditure of thought.
But their abandonment of Christian
principles, through the bad example of
the so-called higher class-the nobility
and wealthy, let loose the movement
that ended in the bloodiest revolution
in human history. The evil example
of the nobility came home to them.
The class beneath reduced their god
less principles to praetice; and they
got it in the neck fife guillotine did
it's work = iM
There ought to- be a lesson and a
warning in this for the teachers of our
times. They should see that to abol-
ish Christian thought among the So
called common people, is to set us
adrift towards Niagara; and the first
to suffer will be those who lead the
way to the falls.

If there were no figures to substan-
tiate these affirmations they might
seem exaggerations, but facts are I'M
deniable. Let us take, for instance,
New York, diocese founded a century
ago by the rescript of Plus VII, ap-
pointing Father Luke Concannon, an
Irish Dominican, as the first Bishop,
who, however, never reached his post,
as he died suddenly after his consecra-
ton in Rome.

New York's having as it's only Cath

corner stone was laid Of st. Patrick's
Cathedral on Mott street. which cost
100000, sum then enormous, though
it is a mere mite compared with the
millions spent on the new Cathedral of
st. Patrick on Fifth avenue and on the
over 300 churches which have since
been erected in the archdiocese, be-
sides about 200 chapels.

cally more in Vienna; but neither Paris
nor Vienna, nor Rome itself, can boast
such a truly devout Catholic popula-
ton at once so prosperous, intelligent
and active.
Besides being the metropolis of the
western world, second only to London
in population, New York, with it's
Catholics numbering nearly million,
almost as many as in the whole of
England and certainly more than in
the whole of Australia, constitutes the
most powerful center the Papacy pos
sesses in the Christian world. Statis-
tics demonstrate that more than mil
lion souls are added every year to the
United States through immigration,
three-fourths of whom are Catholics.

HOLD BOOSTER MEETING
Tom Richardson Addresses Large
Audience on Subject of Effective
Community Advertising.

The booster meeting Tuesday night
brought out large crowd of the men
and women of Dallas. Fl. L. Fenton s
outline of the trip Of the Oregons and
his report of the condition Of the
enterprise which they represent was
listened to with attention, since there
was scarcely person in the audience
who was not personally interested in
the venture.
The meeting was closed by Tom
Richardson, prominent Portland
publicity man, who spoke at length
on the value of community adver-
,tising. He told what it has accom-
plished and is accomplishing for
many of the cities of Oregon today
and pointed out the necessity of
Dallas joining the general publicity
movement il she desires to reap a
share Of benefit in the increased
wealth and population, which will
result from the present extensive
oblOl 1lOiIA OlO L1clOG w OlC6OA.
At the close of his address he called
for pledges of sums of money payable
monthly to the publicity fund Of the
Development League. A number of
those present agreed to subscribe from
$5 to $40 each, but the amount guar
anteed in this manner did not prove
sufficiently large and it was finally
decided to erase the list and arrange
for campaign of personal solicita-
ton to secure the required amount.
The advertising work for Dallas has
already progressed far enough that
the people can even now begin to
realize its benefits and it is probable
that there will be little trouble in
securing pledges for sufficient sum
to carry the venture to con-
summation.

SPEND THREE DAYS
IN MOUNTAINS
PRESIDENT ON WESTERN SLOPE
OF SIERRA NEVADAS AWAY
FROM THE CROWDS AND Me-
CESSITY OF SPEECH MAKING.

Ell Portal, Cal, Oct. Tn the
wilderness of the western slope Of the
Sierra Nevadas, away from the
crowds and the necessity of speech
making, the president is travelling by
stage coach today toward the won
derful Mariposa grove of big trees.
The president has eight hours OF
stage riding before him and Wawona,
where he will spend the night at the
lonely tavern on the outskirts of the
Yosemite valley, before starting Fri
day morning to penetrate the Mari
posa grove. This is a respite from
the great crowds which have marked
his progress through the west. The
period of rest in the bracing noun
famous atmosphere mid scenic en-
vironment which is declared one of
the most beautiful in all the world,
the enjoyment simple, the diet of
mountain trout and chicken and ba-
con and eggs is expected to fit the
president for the remainder OF his
trip. He will not make a speech un-
til Sunday afternoon, when he reaches
Fresno, after three days of sightsee-
ing and restful travelling. An escort
of troops of United States cavalry
had been planned for the president
but he respectfully requested that
this arrangement be cancelled.
