CATHOLICISM AS A RESTRAINING
eNoNE

FORGE.
(F'rom the Cedar Rapids Republican,
William Allen White on his return
from European trip, wrote tribute
to the Catholic church which must be
very gratifying to the membership of
that universal organization. Speaking
Of the Influence of the church, espec-
cially in Europe, but throughout the
world, he wrote:
1.-The Holy Roman Catholic church
whether we like 1t or dislike It,,
still must be admitted by serious-mdns
ed persons of every faith to be the
cement that is holding civilization to-
lgether. For II the influence OF the
Catholic church were removed, bar
barism and anarchy would arise ram
pant in the world, The debt of
civilization to the Catholic church
is the greatest single debt in the
world. Reverence is due to
this great fundamental force in mod
ern civilization working toward the
common coming Of the kingdom, for
which every earnest man and wo-
man is striving, each in his own way,
and, by striving, becomes the broth
er of all men"
That has been the truth for nine
teen centuries, or from the time the
church grew into definite organiza-
ton, under the bishops of Rome
who later were called popes. Every
student Of history knows the valuab-
lie services that the church rendered
the world during the dark ages which
stretched over the entire middle por-
\ ton Of European history. Learning
and culture and civilization itsell
were preserved in the monasteries.
4 Without their contributions whole
periods in, histor would be blanks
as barrep as the desert Of Sahara
There. were small bodies OF independ
ent Christians but religion as {
whole has come down to us from the
| beginning Through the same channels
The channels were often clogget
| with vice and corruption even, fol
these were the natural concomitant'
Of the excessive authority which wa
lodged in the church, but from these
the church has purified itself. Nov
and then large bodies efm en- separ
ated themselves from the church II
such periods of laxity, while thes
i have exerted a large influence in tn
world under various reformations, tn
church itself has maintained its cor
tnuty ever rising to higher height
and nobler achievements. Today /
Is true. as Mr.. White states, tina
J, the catholic church IL the most pow
erful agency against the encroact
ments of socialism and anarchy
which, however opposite, is ever tn
twin born child of socialism. TIL
: Catholic church is the restrainin
hand in all these serious distul
Dances.

LUTHER Sly FOUND
DEAD in FIELD.
HEART FAILURE PROBABLE.
CAUSE.

Luther Sly was found dead in the
field on his farm north of town this
Tuesday afternoon at about 2:15
o'clock. He was in town in the
morning and after eating dinner
hitched up team and started plow-i
ing in field some distance from the
house. About 2 O'Clock his son who
was working in an adjoining field
saw the horses standing for some
time but supposed his father >was
making some repairs on the plow.
After few minutes the team start
ed off alone across the field on a
walk in the direction of the house.
Fearing something had happened the
members of the family who were at
home fastened to the spot where
the team had been-seen standing and
l lH b a. Vi f !. ~
found the lifeless body Of Mr.. Sly
lying on the ground. A careful ex-
animation by a physician revealed
no marks or bruises that would indi.
cate that he had come to his death
i by an accident. He had suffered fro,
heart trouble in the past and his ply
sician is of the opinion that HI
death was due to heart failure. :
No arrangements as to the funer
| al have been made up to the time
We go to press. Mr.. sly's obituar.
will be given in next weeks issue o
this paper.

Improvements at Light Plant

cNrent for all domestic purposes.
"a deal has been made with an At
lEnta firm to install the plant and
the conditions are that the town
can purchase the plant, rent it At
SO much per annum or sell tito the
Atlanta firm whenever it is found
that 1t Is not profitable for the town
to operate it. The cost of the
plant will be about SIS 900. bonds
will have 70 be issued to raise this
amount, but there are only s., coo
in bonds on the town AT present,
and under the statutes a town can
issue bonds up to per cent. of It's
taxable property, which in the case
OF Dillon, Is equivalent to about
$40, 900. There is no questioning
the fact that Dillon needs an, cleo
tic light plant. The Mayor has
very wisely cut out the residence
lights and is giving the business
part of town what current can be
generated by the old plant. but the
old plant with its light loadfis liza

as an alternating current plant.
which can be operated at less ex-

same time furnish four times as
much current. 1t is a great pity
that Dillon could never secure 4
cable connection with the Rocking
ham Power Co., whereby it would
get a 24-hour current, but perhaps
Council can find enough custom
ers to justify it in running the new
plant in the day as we'll as at night.
