It was from the Romans that the Catholics
borrowed the festival day, the street process
sion, the kissing of the pope's foot and the
erection of many affairs.
It was from the Roman priests of Bacchus
that Catholic priests took celibacy and the
confessional-the one institution giving the
priests what the other denies.
It was from the Greeks that the Catholic
priests got the habit of turning bread into
God, and wine into Gods blood.
Therefore, it would seem that if there is
any ignorance" apparent, just now, it does
not rest with the Greeks and the Romans to
whom the Catholics are so deeply indebted.
The law of Roman civilization, is at the
basis Of a large portion Of the legislation of
the modern world.
The literature of Rome occupies a place Of
the highest honor in the Nllbraries of the
modern world.
The patriotic virtues of the Roman, which
the race was in it's prime, shrinks from no
comparison with any race or any age.
Did Mr.. Windle ever read "Leckys Prog
ress of European Morals?"
If not, let him do SO, if he wishes to learn
some historical truth about the civilizations
of the ancient world.
AS all lawyers know, it was the accidental
discovery of the old Roman code of the
Emperor Justinian which revived the study
of the Civil Law In Europe. It was in this
way that the legislation of the Romans grad
ually displaced Feudalism.
AS every scholar knows, it was the revival
Of the studies of the literary masterpieces of
Greece and Rome that inspired the Renais-
sance-that almost miraculous re-birth of
elegant culture and independent thought,
which broke upon the Middle Ages, new
Sunrise, when the cowl Of the ignorant,
bestial, superstitious Catholic monk had
almost completely extinguished the intellect
ual light of Europe.
Is my indictment of these Romanist priests
too severe?
Go and read what was said about them by
other monks and priests, such as Savonarola,
Rabelais, and Erasmus.
Those Roman priests had darzened
debased and corrupted the human race, when
it was rescued in part by the dead Greeks and
the dead Romans.

In the fine arts, their sculptors and paint

Their mythology was joyous, and their
standards Of public and private virtue were

Their literature IS yet one of the treasures
which intellectual men, throughout the West

Their prowess in battle is proverb; their
idea of patriotism, an inspiration their con-

human beings may attain.
This glorious civilization passed away, as
all earthly grandeurs do-as ours will do
when the nation has run it's course.

What is one to think of controversialist
who asserts that the civilization of the
Romans had it's birth in "ignorance?"
IS such writer to be taken seriously at
all?
Numa Pompilius was the Roman ruler
who created the very religious organization
which Mr.. Windle undertakes to defend
1t was Numa who created the College of
Cardinals and the Pontifex Maximus- the
pagan Pope.
It was Numa who created the first nun
merry, the Vestal Virgins
1t was from the Romans that the Cath
olics borrowed the dedication of dead men
and women.
It was from the Romans that the Cath
olics appropriated patron saints, and statues

MINERS WILL NOT
RECEDE TO OWNERS
Men and Operators Views Are So
Far Apart that Settlement
Seems Unlikely.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 2l.-The joint
convention Of bItuminous coal operators
and miners in session here is not unlike
all similar meetings held by them in past
years. Both sides are declaring that they
will not recede one iota from their pres
ent positions on the issues at stake. In
the past these declarations have been as
violent and convincing. but eventually
they would be swept aside and an agree
ment made.
In this convention, however, the miners
and operators are so far apart that il
is generally agreed they cannot get to-
gether. After an all-day discussion on
the payment of wages on the mine-run
basis, IL was decided to submit the Ques-
ton to a subcommittee of two miners
and two operators from each State, to
see if they could find a solution OF the
problem.
According TO International President
John P. White, the miners will not re-
cede from the mine-run demand.
Everything depends upon the action Of
the policy committee Of the miners, which
meets here Monday. 1t has power to
instruct the delegates to the joint con-
vention on all matters 1t may decide
upon concessions being made TO the oper-
ators that will change the whole situa-
tion. But unless the policy committee
does this there will be no agreement
made.
According to operators, the increases
asked by the miners, II granted, would
add $4,000. 900 to the cost Of coal to con-
sumers. After the convention adjourns
without an agreement there is expected
to be a scramble among the operators
and miners of the different States to
make individual contracts.

MORAN SELECTS
CATHOLIC D. NINE
Flynn, a Youngster, to Start Balti-
more Polytechnic Game To-
morrow at Brookland.

After two hours Of good hard practice
yesterday afternoon, Coach Moran, of the
Catholic University ball squad. said that
his charges were ft for to-morrow's S
game with Baltimore Polytechnic Insti-
tute.
The Brooklsnders, with the exception
OF Hessler, are now in the best of shape
and Coach Moran feels confident that he
has got a combination together that will
give a good account OF itself during the
coming season.
The lineup of the Red and Black is
practically decided. The showing made
by Mcdonnell at first in yesterdays
practice settles beyond a doubt the ques-
ton of who will play the initial sack.
Widmayer will play second, "Skeets"
Hayes will cover short, and HoTan the
hot corner. McGeady will be seen at
his old place in left field. and Lynch.
Bane, and O'Reilly will all be given trial
in the other gardens. Zachary. will do
the catching, and in all probability Flynn,
new man, will start the game in the
box, as Greene. Ryan, and Clancy are
TO be held in reserve for the two games
with Swarthmore Monday and Tuesday.
