Counting Catholics

Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and Arch bishop Glennon of St. Louis, Q commit tee appointed by the last meeting of the Catholic archbishops of America. have just held meeting for organlzation and the making of preliminary plans for the taking of a census of the ,-athoics of America. The committee is not only to ascertain how many Catholics there are lr America, but also to take up the mat ter of better statistics of Catholic growth, especially of better parochial reports It Is not so much complaint against United States census figures as it is an effort by Catholics to collect and record exact data concerning their work.
 The late Archbishop Corrigan of New York, in a formal address to the Cath plies of his province, made about the time he celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination, stated that more Catholics had come through Castle Garden in the previous 30 years than Catholics could at that moment claim growth in numbers during the same period. Thus no account was made of natural increase from births during three decades. The archbishop was criticised to some extent for his sta tement. but he returned to it and added that Catholics should not only improve their methods for counting CaInOllc pOpuidtIOH, put SHOulu set about conserving their own numbers preventing what he pointed out to be their enormous lapses.
 The last official counting by the gov 4rninent. that of 1906. gave Catholics F, Seo,O00, or 14.S per cert of the population. During the preceding Is years, when the government took an earlier census, 1t showed an increase of A per cent great CT than population growth. Catholic fig ures at present are exactly 15,C00,000. The government census of 1910 was not the spectal census of religious bodies taken in 1906 or 1t might perhaps be said study of religious bodies. and 1t has not yet been published in all details It is stated that the archbishop committee, with

Morgan. Holden and others of the union have just issued a statement to Chris tians of Great Britain and the United States to the effect that Protestant mis- sionary society has been at work for ,S years among the Indians of Peru. and that while conflicts with the Roman Cath .olics have come up. the Peruvian govern ment has invariably decided that the Protestants are to be allowed to work in their way.
 The sum of s50,OoO will be required, it is stated. for the proper equipment of the proposed mission. To deny 1t. and to refuse to come to the aid of the Indians in their need. so Messrs Morgan, Holden and others declare, Is to stand aside when the instincts of Peru toward religious liberty are showing themselves in favor able light About half the needed S51,- 600 has already been subscribed. The Protestant society already at work in Peru offers trained workers. including physician. who know the country, the peo- pie, and the language Catholics are proceeding wit htheir mission plans, ana the Putumayo atrocities are in a way of being stopped At an opportUle time Pope Plus has issued from Rome an encyclcal urging greater efforts for the good of all South America.

Fourth American Cardinal

Reports from Rome that Archbishop Kennedy. rector of the American col lege, is to be elevated to the sacred college at the next consistory, to be held probably in November, are cred tied in this country as accurate. The reasons for the advancement are In large part personal to Mgr. Kennedy, who is recognized as one of the fore most Americans whom Catholics have ever reared and advanced The sacred college has only five vacancies, its membership being 65 in a possible TO. and as there Is an unwritten law that 1t Is never to be filled to the limit. The reason for a new American cardinal Is hardly that of larger representation ora full college
 Mgr. Kennedys advancement will make the fourth American. strictly speaking. in the sacred college. Cardinal lfalconio is naturalized American citizen, but he is an Italian by birth and training. and is so regarded by his church, which recalls him to Rome and puts him into the curia, or governing body of the church. t would not do were he an American. With Mgr. kennedy's elevation he will, it is sur missed. remain in Rome, probably not as rector of the American college. but ad- wiser to the Pope concerning American catholic affairs. and especially Catholic educational affairs He will not be i.l Rome as representing America in the sense that cardinals are there from spain, but in an entirely new sense growing out of Catholic conditions. and partic- ularly Catholic growth in America.
 Mgr. Kennedy is a Phladelphian born and educated. and for a time was pro- lessor in Philadelphia Catholic sernin- aries. He has always been identified with educational work. but was mentioned as possible successor to the late Arcnbishop Ryan of Philadelphia. when Archbishop Prendergast, the auxiliary there was promoted. The American college at Rome Is one Of many maintained by Catho- lies of different countries for -he special training of priests at the fountain head Of Roman Catholicism. Especially promising students only are admitted.
