statement Of Priest Is Big Boon
For Socialism.

new Iork.-The statement of the
Catholic priest, Rev. Father Belford
OF the Church Of the Nativity. that
Socialists should be "silenced by a
bullet II necessary has proved the
pest statement in behalf Of Socialism
uttered in that city for many years,
as it has made Socialism the general
topic of discussion in many quar-
tiers.
The capitalist papers are giving
large amounts of space to arguments
for and against Socialism in coanec-
ton with the priests statement.
Monster crowds are turning out to
the Socialist meetings, which are
Being held in the vicinity of the
church.
Bouck White, author Of the call
OF the Carpenter, in speaking to
packed house in answer to the
charges of the priest, said:
no; We are not fighting the
Roman Catholic church. We are
fighting priest of that communion,
priest who has stepped from the
altar rail to adopt the tactics of the
mud-gutter, a priest who apparently
can no longer rule by love and is
compelled to use the implements Of
fierce, priest who is a survival of
medieyalfsm and the Inquisition, a
priest who is trying to bring with
him into this new world the ghostly
and physical terrorisms OF the world

uhfrocked himself by melting to

OF the Church Of the Nativity.
Fight, Gid I say? Yes. He has
issued the challenge, and we accept
it. Re has opened hostjiities upon
us-we mobilize Our battalions.
Il use the figures of physical war
fare. Because of the tension under
which our assembling tonight has
been placed by the infammatory
words Of our adversary, an explana-
ton is needful. We Socialists sub
scribe not to the creed Of physical
violence. Compulsion forms no COM
ponent in our propaganda. Violence
is the badge Of the desperate. 1t is
the resort Of those who fnd all other
means failing them. And call your
attention to the fact that this priest
has not denied that he counseled to
violence. To the contrary, he has

than $3.50, 100000. The loss of life
is unknown, but estimates run from
100 to 500. These are only the
deaths by drowning. Other humid
reds, and possibly thousands, of the
more than 100000 people suddenly
evicted from their homes and driven
to temporary shelters will pretty
certainly have their lives shortened
by exposure and mental suffering
consequent upon their property
losses Millions of acres of the
nations richest lands at this writing
lie submerged under food waters,
two to twenty feet in depth On
most of these lands no cotton nor
cane crop can be made this year.
Thousands Of cattle, mules and
horses have drowned. Scores of
thriving small cities and towns have
been inundated and depopulated,
houses wrecked, furniture ruined,
store stocks wiped out.
All Of this loss, which in less
degree takes place almost every
year, could be prevented by the adop-
ton of an intelligent national policy
of food prevention and conservation
of flood waters for summer irriga-
ton. Dams and reservoirs should be
built along the headwaters of all the
principal tributaries Of the Mfgsis-
slpp1. These reservoirs would catch
and hold, to flow off gradually, the
spring floods sent down by meltingi
SHOWS and torrentiaI rains. There
would be no more breaking of levees
along the lower reaches of the Mis-
sissippi. The stored waters in the
reservoirs would be available for
1rrigating crops during the long, dry
summer Lives and property would
be made safe, and the agricultural
production of the great central val
ley would be notably increased in
volume and in value.
It is probable that an amount
equal to less than this years food
losses in the Mississippi valley would
build complete the whole necessary
system Of dams and reservoirs
Yet our alleged statesmen at
Washington, generation after gene
ration, go on spending nearly three
fourths Of the nations whole yearly
revenue for war purposes and pen
sions, go on repeating parrot argu-
ments over relatively unimportant
details Of political issues, and go on
neglecting to undertake this enor-
mously important work Of flood pre-
yention and water conservation

against the ATTACK of foreign po-
tentate upon the validity Of the
laws of the United States" and
against the wearing of sectarian
garb in the Indian schools in the
West. The resolutions were pre-
sented for consideration by the Rev.
r. H. McKim, pastor Of the Church
of the Epiphany. After a lengthy
clergy and the laity voting separ-
ately.
DR.. McKims resolution startled
the delegates. At first some spoke
bitterly against it for fear that their
action would be misunderstood, but
after nearly a dozen had taken the
floor, both for and against the reso-
luton was put to vate.
The count showed that there were
four of the clergy against its adop-
ton and six Of the laity. The vote
was secret. The resolution reads:
Whereas it has transpired that
government schools for Indian chill
dren have been placed under teach
lngs of priests and nuns wearing
their distinctive religious garb, and
that besides the insignia OF the Ro-
man Catholic Church in the school
houses, pictures have been placed on
the walls, depicting the damnation
Of all save the adherents Of the Ro-
man Catholic faith.
BE it resolved that we, the rep
resentatives OF the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese OF Washington, hereby
put On record Our protest against
the use Of government funds to sup
|.9ort schools which are in reality no
longer secular sch ools, but sectarian
schools
Whereas demand is now being
made by the Church of Rome TO en-
force in the United States the ne
temere decree Of the Pope, whereby
mixed marriages, solemnized by
Protestant ministers are declared to
be null and void-a decree which
the Emperor OF Germany has re-
fused to allow to be published in his
dominion. Therefore be it
Resolved, that We enter our in
dignant protests against this attack
of foreign potentate upon the

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 3d.
Among the cases that have just been
argued before the Supreme court Of
Texas is one of far reaching import
ance to the state at large and to West
Texas especially, for on the decision
of the court rests the future Of min
eral rights of the states public school
lands. When selling these lands. the
state has always expressly reserved
the mineral rights, holding that the
mineral rights Of public school lands
are separate and indistinct property
from the land itself and that the
state can reserve them when dispos-
ing of the land.
The opposite is held by attorneys
for q number Of men that.have taken
the question to the courts in what is
known az the Cox case for adjudica-
ton. State Senator Claude B Hud-
,speth Of Ell Paso and his law partner,
J. A. Gillett, appeared for the relators
and Assistant Attorney General, John
L. Terrell, formerly land commission
er, argued the case for the state. At.
torney for the REALTORS argued that
the constitution Of Texas expressly
stipulates that no rights attaching to
lands can be withheld and that a pur-
chaser who buys and pays for land
owns every right that goes with 1t.
It is claimed that If the case is de-
cided against the state it will give
West Texas business impetus that
nothing else would bring.

same time petitions were distributed
by the girls and signed largely by

What VAR DEBT
IS consuming
Special to The Tribune.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 3d.
The fear of war is consuming the
homes of the rural and village popu-
lations Of Germany, France, Greau
Britain, and the United States in
single generation, according to bull
letdn on the school observance of
Peace Day, which is soon to be issued
for free distribution by the United
States bureau Of education.
In discussing the cost Of war, the
bulletin says in part:
"War debt began with the nine
teenth century. Not until the estab-
,lishment Of constitutional government
had nations any credit in the world of
finance The bond of a king was no.
toriously bad security. Since 1900
the war debts Of the nations have
grown by leaps and bounds. That Of
Europe as q whole amounts to more
than $4,000, O00, 900, bearing interest
at the rate Of 81, 1b0. 0o0, 900 per year.
All these endless caravans of ciphers'
represent sums which have never
been paid, will never be paid, can
never be paid, SO long as the present
system OF national armament goes on.
For practically the entire amounts
now raised by taxation in civilized
nation 80 into the support Of armies
and navies. The United States, in
splendid isolation from old entangie-
ments, without an enemy in the world,
snd bound by ties of blood and com.
merce to all civilized nations, spends
q per cent of her income in this way.
The civil or nommilitary, expend-
ditures of Europe are 80 small as to
be negligible. .~

the four countries of Germany,
France, Great Britin, and the United
States will spend in the next 40 years..
the life Of one generation, for the sup
port Of armies and navies an amount
sufficient to build twenty million coun-
try and village houees at an average
cost of two thousand five hundred
dollars each. With father, mother,
and four children in each of these
houses they could furnish homes for
enc hundred and twenty millions Of
people, which is more than the total
present population Of these four coun-
tries living in villages and the OPEN
country. Thus the fear of war is
consuming the homes of the rural
and village population Of these great
nations in a single generation.
1T is estimated that the total direct
cost Of the armies and navies Of the
world each year in time Of peace is
two and e-half billion dollars, which
