PAPAL COUNT DEAD
William Redding Of Havana Was
knighted BY the Pope for His
Catholic Charity Work.

Count William Redding, one of the
richest and foremost men in Cuba,
died of heart failure at the Hotel
Inglaterra in Havana on December 20.
He was the youngest of four children
and came to New York from Castle
town-Roche, Ireland, about sixty years
ago, when quite young. AS a young
man he went to Havana and engaged
in business. The chief part of his
fortune was made in real estate in
vestments after the Spanish war.
Eleven years ago Count Readings
wife died, and he became very active
in the charitable and institutional
work of the Catholic Church in Cuba.
His charity was dispensed largely
through the Sisters of the Precious
Blood, who have convent in Havana,
although he gave largely to other
Catholic charitable work. 1t Is said that
he was also interested in the work of
a boys school. He gave chapel to
the Cathedral.
He was made Knight. Commander
of the Order of st. Gregory the Great
by Pope Plus x. in 1906. The brief
addressed to him says: For many
years you have not only supported
churches and religious institutions, but
also Catholic charities of every sort,
SO much SO that new and additional
praises of you have reached this
Roman chair" The insignia of the
Cross and Shield was conferred upon
him by the Apostolic Delegate to
Cuba, Archbishop Aversa, in the
Church Of Santo Christie, Havana. In
1909 Pope Plus x. made him a Papal
Count.

the Catholic press. After a bitter
fight against the surviving Josephism
and kindred state oppression, he sue
ceeded in founding within his Diocese
a truly Catholic seminary. He al
lowed himself no rest until he had in
troduced all the religious orders
necessary for the countless charitable
and educational works projected by
him. He organized Christian labor
associations of the most varied kinds
and spread those already in existence,
and towards the end of his life was
actively engaged in planning the foun-
dation Of a society for the erection of
workingmen's homes. He even de-
sired to test the advantages of volun-
tary cooperative labor; but although
he communicated with Lasalle upon
this subject his work was not to be
based upon Lasallian principles. A
voluntary Christian Communism was
an ideal which he always dearly cher
ished
Perhaps most remarkable was the
wisdom shown in his proposed legisla-
tive enactments. We quote from the
draft of political program drawn
up by him in which he makes the fol.
lowing demands on the Government:
81. Reorganization of the craft and
| labor classes.
SO. Legal protection for working
children and women against capital,
istic greed.
"3. Labor protection by laws to re
strict the hours of labor and estab.
lish the Sunday rest.
a. Legal protection to provide for
the health and morality of laborers in
their places of work
IS. Appointment of inspectors to
supervise these protective laws en-.
acted in favor of labor"
Each of these regulations, down to
definite practical details elsewhere
indicated by him, has actually been
adopted by the Government, and il

on the one hand we see rich men, in
the face of the most elementary laws

conscience, wasting their substance
riotously, while the poor are starving
and the children degenerate? How Ia
it possible for us to relish superflui-
ties whilst our brothers are In want

is it possible that our hearts do not
break In the midst of revelry and
song when we think of the sick poor
who In the heat of the fever are
stretching out their hands for refresh
ment and no one is by to give 1t to
them?" Then after describing the
saddest Of all sights, the little chill
dren growing up in vice and sin, he
continues: "And on the other hand,
how is it possible that the poor and
their goddess seducers, contrary to all
natural right and all common sense,
embrace the absurd theory of false
Communism, and look to it for saliva
ton, though 1t Ia SO evident that 1t

found i'm the doctrine OF original sin,
without which man must remain a
mystery to himself. Christ and His
Church alone can afford the remedy.

BISHOP OF THE WORK|NGMEN
A FEARLESS CHAMPION OF THE
CHURcH's LIBERTY.
Centenary of Bishop Won ketteIer of
Mainz Celebrated-An Authority
on Social Problems.

Wilhelm Emmanuel Won Ketteler,
the illustrious Bishop of Mainz, the
pioneer of the Catholic social move
ment, was born at Munster on Christ
mas day, 1911. Emmanuel the CRATE
full parents called him, in honor of the
Word made flesh. Little did they
know, writes Rev. J. Husslein in
America" how precious was to be
that Christmas gift of theirs, not
merely for themselves, but for the
German people, and indeed for the
whole Catholic world. The light of
the star of Bethlehem which shone
upon the cradle Of that little one was
never to fade from his life. His love
for the poor and afflicted was spark
enkindled In his heart, by the Christ
child. He, too, was to be high
priest of Christ's people, and the first
words he addressed to his flock were
a public "vow of poverty; the avoid
ance of all superiority in his belong
ings, and the conservation to charity
of himself and of all that he could
spare from his episcopal income. This
pledge he solemnly kept, and when he
died his death was like that fore
Swallowed at the crib. There was
nothing that he could leave to the
world except his blessing and the re-
suit of his labors.
Of magnificent and commanding
presence, with clear-cut features and
kindly yet penetrating glance, Bishop
Ketteler exercised an irresistible pow
er wherever he appeared. His voice
could sway the largest audiences, and
his written word was eloquently ex-
pressive of his great personality. OF
the many claims of reverence" that
met in him we can here consider only
one: his position as the founder and
leader of the Catholic social move
ment.
A Leader In Social Work.
His first utterances turned the eyes
of all Germany upon him. 1t was in
the memorable year 1S48, when as
pastor of Hopsten and representative
of the Frankfurt Parliament he was
called to speak at the grave of two
deputies who had been brutally slain
by furious mob: Who" he asked,
"are the murderers of our friends?
Not altogether the frenzied men who
have so mercilessly killed and man.
gled their victims, but rather they
who have plucked the Faith from the
hearts of the people" He pointed to
the appalling contrasts of poverty and
greed, of misery and righteousness
in the life about him, and to those
false leaders who already had begun
to set the poor against the rich, and
who instead of striving to heal the
wounds of society were only engaged
in tearing them open more widely.
There was In his voice neither terror
nor despair. but only a strong, uncon-
querable hope in Christ and His
Church, the one salvation of man.

Bishop KetteIer's Program.

When Ketteler was raised to the
dignity OF Bishop OF Mainz, a new
sphere of usefulness was thrown open
to him. He soon showed that he was
not, like Marx, mere theorist; nor,
like Lasalle, utopian agitator. He
was practical even to the least detail.
He understood that the first condi-
lions for social regeneration were the
