MAKES EXPLANATION
OF INFALLIBlLlTY

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
For the enlightenment of eX-Catholc
on the point of infallibility would say:
The infallibility of St. Peter and his
successors is found in Holy Scripture
from the following texts: Thou art
Peter, and upon this rock / will bulid
my church and the gates OF nell shaii
not prevail against it." Matt. NVl-B).
st. Peter is the one for whom Christ
specially prayed, and in the person OF
Peter his successors are or necessity III
cluded, for Jesus Christ was providing
for the good of his church which was
to last, not for the lifetime OF ST. Peter
only, but to the end of time, against
the unceasing attacks of her enemej.
In Luke XXI, 81, we read that our
Saviour addressed st. Peter in pres
ence of the apostles thus: 'Simon'
Simon, behold. Satan hath desired TO
have you, that he may sift you as
wheat. But l have prayed for thee
that thy faith fail not, and thou pelhs
So YOU see that Jesus Christ PROVIDES
against the danger TO which his apostles
and their succe ssors would Always
have been exposed; OF railing from tne
sions of men, OF through the instl6a-
lion and fraud of the devil. Hence 1t
will be seen from these divine charges
to ST. Peter there arises the correspond
ing duty on the part OF all the other
bishops, and of all the faithful through
out the world. to submit themselves to
the guidance of the Sovereign Pontiff
Then again the word infallibility,
as applied to the Pope, does not mean
that everything the Pope does is the
wisest and most judicious that could
be done; it does not mean that What he
says as a preacher or writer is
arilx dnnl
not even mean that In his office OF
supreme ecclesiastical judge he may not
/ be mistaken, but 1t means that when he
! teaches the faithful as the visible head
| he is protected by the special promise
| and providence of God, who is himself
| the only source of infallibiity, from
] wrongly interpreting the word Of God.

DR.. COOKS LATE EFFORTS AT
VINDICATION.

Catcalls in Copenhagen and a six
hundred-page octave published in this
country suffice to keep the name of
DIR. Cook before the general public. Like
the dear departed whose one merit was
his ability to whistle, he is praised
by those who can think of nothing
better to say as being a man of ad-
mirable courage. Otherwise he would
not have gone back to that dear Copen-
hagen where he was received by royalty
when he first emerged from the Arctic
wilds. He would have been afraid that
they would sic the Great Danes on him
and beat him over the head with the
Dannebrog.
But the courage which unkind people
call nerve did not forsake him, and as
a sop to Cerberus he announced that
the proceeds of the lecture were to be
given to the Eskimo mission at Cape
York.
The Danes hissed him from the ros-
trum-after paying the price of ad-
mission to pack the hall-and now
comes the news that the mission at
Cape York won't accept the money the
doctor wished to donate. -
A thing must be in . sad state of
decomposition if it is still tainted by
the time it gets to the Arctic circle.

We Catholics are sincere in processing

address, to his Catholic fellow citizens
after the Revolution. Washington ap-
preciated the patriotism Of the Catholic
soldier and citizen, which may be in
ferred from the fact that his lifeguard
was composed largely of Catholics and
that his dearest friend and compa MON
was the Catholic Lafayette.

FRANCES STARR,

JOSEPH PULITZER AND HIS
NEWSPAPERS.

Newspapers began as controversial
pamphlets. They were all editorial
After awhile the idea of surrounding
the editorial and controversial features
with narration of news events dawned,
and the newspaper developed into
somewhat modern form. The import
ance of news increased, while the value
of the old pamphleteer's polemic con-
tributions waned, and in time the news
paper had part of a page of editorial,
with sixteen or forty or sixty pages of
news, miscellany, and commercial
affairs.
The theory of this generation was
that the news and the editorial must
be carefully segregated; news was
news, not to be colored or characterized
in conformity to any editorial policy.
No newspaper quite lived up to the
ideal, but it was the ideal.
And then came Pulitzer. He was a
reversion to the old pamphleteer idea,
plus realization, in the fullest
measure, of the necessity and the domi-
mating value of news. He pitched the
segregation idea into the hell-box and
proceeded to fill his news with edi-
torial policy. He crusaded. He muck
raked. He printed news with pur-
pose. He found news in things that
had not before been regarded as news.
He used his news department to pro.
mote causes, to work reforms, to sus-
tain public enterprises. He fought po-
litical corruption with one page, and
he built the Tomb of Grant in New
York with another. He gave the news
paper a new conception of it's power
and Importance, and he forced upon it
The Washington times., 1911-10-30

the duty of living up to high ideals in
welding that power.
Born in Hungary, he was of that
wonderful group of radicals that lS4s
gave to America. He became the as.
sociate of Schurz; he was by instinct
a radical, fighter, political organizer
and worker. He built the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, and later he bought the New
York World from Gould and made it
what all the world now knows it to be.
He was one of the very greatest men
American journalism, or any other
journalism, has produced.
