FALSEHOODs FOR 81 A YEAR.

At 81 a year to subscribers it is
hoped that the Congressional Record
will attain wider circulation. The
rate is low enough; il is the quality
or the contents that raises doubts. If
1t is to compete with lOW-priced mag
azlnes in popular favor certain ele-
mentary changes may be advisable.
The magazines have been savagely
criticised for undertaking by high
prlncipled politicians and their SYM
pathizers. But even the muck-raker,
although moved by the best inten-
lions in the world, may commit I'M
cOnconsCiOus errors of statement. He
may be honest though misinformed.
Nobody can say as much for many Of
the contributors TO the columns of
the Congressional Record. They know
that what they publish of Congress is
not true and accurate record of
anything that toook place in the
House or Senate. The speeches they
proudly print in many instances they
know were never delivered and they
deliberately falsify the reports Of
Congress.
No undertaking magazine, however
offensive to it's victims, ever perpe-
trated half SO many lies as the Con-
gressional Record purposely perpetra-
ted with the assistance of it's distin-
guished corps of contributors. New

the precautionary measure of excom-
municating those members of the
church.
Mr.. Dupre is a prominent attorney
of Biddeford, Drs. Precourt and May
nard are both practicing physicians,
and Mr.. Conneau is the editor of a
local French-American newspaper
These men, with Mr.. Deland, signed
the petition accompanying the bill as
members of the executive committee

Ollie Church of Maine."
Like many other prelates in the
United States, Bishop Walsh is a
corporation SOLE, holding absolutely
in his own name all church property
in the diocese of Portland. He could
sell, mortage or give away to his rela-
tives every church building, school,
convent or other institutions, even
cemeteries, in his diocese. There is
absolutely no check upon him in dis
posing of all this property as he sees
fit. In some dioceses there are nomi-
inal boards of trustees composed of
the bishop, vicar general, the parish
priest, and two laymen, all tools of
the Bishop. But in most states, as in
Maine, the bishop is a corporation
sole. There have been many instan-
ces where bishops obtained mortgages

ing any of the priests Or people. 1t
was to prevent abuses of this kind
that the Biddeford Catholics desired
to have the bill passed. II will cut
you off from the Church, ruin your
business and send you to the demni-
ton bOw-wows for attempting to give
the people control of their property,
said Bishop Walsh.
Our friend, Counsellor Charles Ea-
ton, of New Hampshire, writes on this
subject:
ct seems to me that THE CON-
VERIFIED CATHOLIC ought to stir up
the French churches, whose members
were Roman Catholics, to reprobate
Bishop Walshs outrage. The right
to petition our legislatures is primary
and hallowed, and is enshirned and
buttressed in not only our Federal
Constitution, but in all our State Con-
situations. (See section Is of the
Maine Bill of Rights)
Bishop Walsh's interdict is to the
Catholic citizens a doom to perdi-
ton; for all Catholics are trained to
the dogma, "Out of the Catholic
Church there is no salvation The
interdict to the Catholic extends be-
yond the grave forever and forever.
The cursing of these worthy Maine
citizens for exercising their inalien-
able rights is the blacklist of infa-
nous deeds. Let the French Protest
ant clergy act in body and so turn
the eyes of the nation upon Bishop
Walsh's aggression-his disloyalty to
the flag that defends him"
Not only should the French pastors
take up the matter and reprobate
Walsh's outrage on these citizens of
Maine, but the Protestant ministers
of the State should speak with no un-
certain sound and invite the Cath olics
to come out of the Roman Church
and become Christians like other
Americans.-The Converted Catholic.

Maine Roman Catholics Ex.
Communicated

FAST month some of the most
III prominent French Roman
III Catholics of the State of Maine
u were communicated by Bish-
Dp Louis P. Walsh for daring to assert
their rights as citizens of a free coun-
try. The following letter was read in
all the Roman Catholic churches Of
the State on Sunday, May IA:
Portland Me-, May 8, 1911.
Dear Reverend Father:-Your are
hereby notified that the following
persons have been interdicted the
rights and privileges Of the Church in
reception of the sacrements in the
diocese of Portland: Godfrey S. Du-
pre-, George G. Precourt, M. D.;
Albert j. D.eland, Albert G. Maynard,
M. d. members of tho French Ameri-
can Church of the State OF Maine, and
Alfred Connneau, all the above men
toned of Biddeford, and John B.
Couture of Lewiston.
This interdict has been decreed be-
cause of the grave scandal given by
their various words and acts in a re-
cent attack on Church authority and
property and Church law in the do
cese of Portland. This interdict has
been duly made known to them and
will hold until due reparation is
made.
You are hereby directed to make
this fact known to the faithful under
your charge in whatever manner you
may deem it most expedient and to
warn Catholic societies under your
charge that if they cooperate with
the above mentioned parties under in
terdiction they will be deprived of
their rights and privileges as Catho-
lie society in the diocese of Portland.
By order Of the Right Rev. Bish-
Dp. James H. Carey.
Chancellor and Secretary.
Those gentlemen desired that the
church property in Biddeford should
be owned by the people and bill for
that purpose was introduced in the
Legislature by Mr.. John B. Couture,
Che representative from Lewiston.
The bill was adversely reported by the
Legisl stature committee, to which it
was referred, and was defeated in the
Assembly. But DR.. Walsh was afraid
it might come up again and he took

Section 4 Article 1. of the Constitu-
ton of the United States provides
that
The times, places and manner of
holding elections for Senators and
Representative shall be prescrib-
ed in each State by the Legisla-
ture thereof; but Congress may at
any time by law make or alter
such regulations, except as to the
places Of choosing Senator's
SO far as Representative are con-
cerned, Congress has never exercised
this power. Every attempt to pass
Force bill has been defeated.
In 1856 Congress undertook to reg
ulate the election of Senators, but the
statute merely prescribed a uniform
rule of procedure, without interfering
in any way with the powers of the
States.
The Bristow amendment to the
House resolution for the election of
United States Senators by vote of the
people leaves section unchanged. So
far as the letter of the Constitution
is concerned, the powers of Congress
might not be increased by the ratif-
cation of the amendment in the form
drafted by Senator Bristow; yet the
feeling is general throughout the
South that such an amendment would
be perverted into a referendum in
favor of Federal control of the fran
chise and would revive latent powers
that have never been exercised.
1t is easy enough to say that these
Tears are exaggerated, but they have to
be dealt with, and it is doubtful if
single Southern Legislature would
ratify the Senatorial amendment in
the form in which it is presented by
the Senate. Without assistance from
the South the Constitution cannot be
changed and there can be no popular
election of Senators.

Then he rushed from his hiding
place, went to the home of the parish
priest and sought relief in confess
ing what he had done.
After the priest had induced Mar
chest to surrender himself to the po-
lice, the slayer told connected story
of the crime, pleading that he had felt
justified in killing the pair at the time
the deed was committed, but that
later he was sorry such an awful
crime had crept into his life. He said:

vented the fatal blow, but her praying

kENOSTIA Wis, Nov. 2S.-Tortured
by the mental picture of his headless
wife and her paramount whom he slew
last night, Pasquale Marchesi, 81
years old, a merchant, went to a
priest and confessed the double
crime which had been discovered. The
young avenger was turned over to the
police who are closely guarding him
for fear of possible mob violence to-
night
According to Marchesi, he went
home last night and found his wife,
Rosari, and his cousin and namesake
occupying Mrs. Marchesis bed cham
Der. The younger Marchesi, who was
not of age, had been a favorite of
the husband and the scene drove him
mad, he said. Without allowing his
presence to become known, Marchesi
went to a woodshed, procured a hand
axe, crept to the bedroom and chop
ped off the heads of the two lovers.

still a river boundary in 1853, was It
not?"
Mr.. Casasus-"Yes"
Commissioner Lafieur-'It appc3 rs
from the record that there were some
changes between 1S4s and 1858. For
example. in 1853, surveys were taken
at an interval of six months and there
appears to be a difference in the re-
suits of these surveys, owing to the
fact that they were taken at that in
terval If there were changes between
1913 and 1853, how is the language of
the treaty of 1853 consistent with the
idea of a fixed boundary? If the par
ties had intended to have a fixed boun-
dairy they would have been obliged, in
1853. to dscribe the river boundary, the
fuvial boundary, as partly going up
the middle of the river and partly go
ing in the middle of the stream as 1t
existed in 1S4S. It might be a boun
dairy partly in the river and partly in
the river bed that had been abandoned.
That is a difficulty that occurs to me
in comparing the language of these
two treaties The first article of the
treaty Of 1913 provides that the divid
ing line shall forever be that pre-
scribed by the aforesaid treaty, and
follow the center of the normal chan
mel of the river named. notwithstand
ing any alterations IN the banks or III
the course of those rivers. provided
that such alterations shall be effected
bv natural causes, through the slow
and gradual erosion and deposit of

Then, if YOU turn to article 5, you
will see that the rights of property in
respect of lands which may have be-
come separated through the creation Of
new channels as defined in article 2
| hereof. shall not be affected thereby,
but such lands shall continue to be
under the jurisdiction of the country
to which they previously belonger.'
THAT article speaks in the past
tense. 1t speaks of the rights of prop
| ertv in lands which may have become
separated in the past, and it states in
effect that the terms of article apply

IT aDpears at present as if the Chaml-

will be ready so that he may resume
