Spain seems TO be following in the foot
steps of France toward complete separation
of Church and State, and going through
experiences somewhat similar to those
France lately went through King and
Premier seem to be in harmony and in
earnest in seeking to establish religious
freedom The concordat which Spain wants
to revise is an agreement entered into in
1851 making Roman Catholicism the state
religion. providing for the Catholic orders
and imposing restrictions on Protestant
worship. On May 81 a royal decree direct
ed all religious orders not authorized oy
the concordat to dissolve or enroll under
the associations law of 1887. For failing 20
obey this decree some schools conducted by
unauthorized monks and nuns have been
closed. June Is another royal decree was
issued permitting Protestant churches TO
display religious emblenls and conduct di-
vine services in their own way. These rad
icaI changes naturally have caused pro-
found connection in Catholic Spain, and
riots broke out in several cities this week
which were suppressed by the authorities,
though not without bIoodshed.
simultaneously with the imposing cere-
monies of the conservation of the Roman
Catholic Cathedral at Westminster on Tues
day there was introduced in Parliament a
bill altering the British sovereign's oath Of
accession, so that positive affirmation Of
Professionalism can be made without an af
front to the twalve million Roman Catholic
subjects.

president Taft had an extended confer
ence, with Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce Commission regarding the
administration Of the new railroad rate
law. At the conclusion of the interview it
was made plain that the added authority
given TO the commission by the new statute
is not TO be used arbitrarily, or for the
purpose of hindering the railroads in the
conduct Of their legitimate business The
power TO suspend new rates, probably the
most direct weapon placed in the hands
of the commission, is to be used only in
exceptional cases.

act passed at the session of Congress just

The cuts, which will strike practically
air the trunk lines across the continent are
arrived at chiefly by ordering changes. in
rates at points OF junction along the Mis-
souri, River but the reference in many
cases is TO traffic either from Chicago or
from points on the Eastern seaboard.

commission that in many cases the COM
