The Rome correspondent of the

The journalist used to be consider

against every man and every mans

to gain a hearing for it's voice
amongst those who did not know or
acknowledge it's benefcent mission to
mankind.

tors to Retract,

Charges that the Catholic institu-
tions in the Archdiocese of New York
have misappropriated funds provided
by the state will have to be rctractcd
and an apology made. according to a
statement given out by Cardinal Far
ley at tho convention of the New York
County Federation of Catholic Socie-
ties. In an address before that body
Cardinal Farley said:
Il said at the very beginning of
these accusations that would not

ica''y, that | will demand a retraction

fame Of my Church." The Cardinal
Is stirred to righteous indignation by
the foul aspersions cast upon the
honesty Of the Catholic Brothers and
catholic Sisters. who have been rep-
resented as enacting the role of I'M
scrupulous grafters. He is in a posi-
ton to know that these men and
women, who have consecrated their
lives to the cause of humanity and
who receive no earthly reward for
doing 80, have been maligned in the
foulest manner. He has waited for
many months to gather the evidence
that convicts their defamers of a.
heinous libel. He now serves notice
upon the latter that they will have to
make reparation for the wrong they
have done.

M. de Moor, president Of the asso-

address, referring to the offering col

and to the sentiments of devotion with
which they are penetrated and their
intimate union with the Holy See. The
Catholics of Italy have inaugurated
the jubilee fetes of the sixteenth CEN
tennial of the proclamation of Con-
stantine's edict, and they invite the
Catholics of the whole world to COM
memorate this great act which gave
liberty to the Church, consecrating
the accord Of the two Powers, estab-
lished in human society. They, Cath

and by election to the defense of the
religious interests of their country,
associate themselves with so much

government, enjoys during % years

WATSON IN TROUBLE
Southern Bisot Gets Into Trouble
With Postoffice Department.


Tom Watson, the rampant bigot of
Georgia, and one of the founders of
the so-called Guardians of Liberty"
has fallen into the clutches of the
Federal law for publishing vicious
and indecent article in which he at.
tacks indiscriminately the prelates Of
the Church.
The article is so bestial and
immoral that we dare not repro
duce even excerpts in these COL
,mns. Copies Of Watson's Magazine
con- aiming the beastly and cowardly
article were sent to the postoffce au-
thorities in Washington.
The Postmaster General rules as fol-
lows: Newspapers or otho:. publica.
tfons containing violent criticism OF
any particular religious faith are cx.
cluded from the mails if such crjti.
cism takes the form of personal Sian.
der, scurrility or obscenity. in which
case the publisher becomes amenable
to the criminal laws of the United
States, and may be fined or impris
oned, or both, and his publication de-
barred from the mails"

LARGE FAMILY
League Formed to Prevent DepopuIa
tion of France.


The Dublin Frceman's Journal con-
ta1ns the following interesting item
about the attempts made in France to
check race suicide:
"The Large Family League, which
has been formed to prevent the de-
population Of France, held demon
stration in Paris on Monday. They
assembled on the Esplanade des 1nva-
lides, and there were delegates from
Paris and the Provinces. Captain
Marie presided, and addresses were
delivered by NM. Denys Cochin. Leroy
Beaulieu and others, including several
deputies. A delegation was appointed
to wait on the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. After the meeting the bands
played 'Au Drapeau,' and then to the
sounds of the 'Marseillaise,' a process
sion marched to the Foreign office, 4
large number of children walking in
front. The Foreign Minister received
them, and the President of the Con-
sell, M. Poincare, delivered a congrat-
ulatory address. The League de-
mands that grant or an abatement
Of taxes be allowed for the fourth and
every subsequent child born to each
family: that the size of the family be
taken into account in the promotion
Of officials of the state and OF the
local government departments; that
the law of 18th January, 1905, which
allowed the father to bring up and
educate one of his children at
the cost of the state, be re-
vived: that in public examina-
tions special examination be held
for children of families that are six
in number; that scholarships be
awarded to children of large families;
that the state look after the housing
of large families: that plural votes be
given to the fathers of large families.
The President of the .Conseil approved
of many of the recommendations, and
said that there was one, a remission
of taxes in the case of large families,
that 1t might be possible to. concede
immediately"

Body of Timothy j. Mccarthy of
Boston Found Clutching EN-
blem of his Faith.
Was Last Seen in Life Kneeling
on Deck of Ship Wrapt in
Solemn Prayer.
Had Crossed the Ocean Many Times
But Never Without Rosary
and Crucifix.

Day by day pathetic stories reveal
ing the faith and heroism of the vic
tins of the Titanic tragedy are COM
ing to light. In the first burst of the
awful news the outlines of the horror
was too immense and too absorbing
to allow details to be brought to the
foreground. These are coming out in
the later stories. None of the facts
that are being given to the world are
more characteristic of the strong
faith of the Irishman than that which
has developed out of the finding of
the body of Timothy j. Mccarthy, a
buyer for a Boston department store,
who went down On the ill-fated liner.
When Mr.. McCarthy's body was re-
covered few days ago his left hand
still clasped the precious cross that
meant so much to him at the passing
of his soul.
One of the survivors who stood
near Mr.. Mccarthy said in an inter-
view:
when I last saw Mr.. Mccarthy,
he was on the saloon deck. In his
left hand he held lighted candle,
and ii his right a. cruci1lx. As long
Us was able to see him, he remained
kneeling, in an attitude Of prayer"
The left hand is held in the posi-
tion it would naturally assume in
grasping candle. Apparently, the
man realized that there was no hope
for him and met his death with res
ignation, resolved to cling to the
last to the insignia Of his faith. The
crucifix was given him some time ago
by Mrs. Leopold Morse, and he al
ways has valued it highly.
Mr.. Mccarthy was a man in the
middle walk of life, but since boy
hood had marked degree of piety
and devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
He had crossed the Atlantic many
times but never without the COM
panionship of crucifix, rosary and
prayer book.
It is sad indeed to think of that
terrible. scene on board the giant
ocean liner when thousands of hu-
man beings stood hoping against
hope, some 1eaping to the cruel waves
to what they thought might be an
easier death; others casting their
eyes for a piece of wreckage to buoy
them up; others crying madly for help,
but there on doomed craft amid
disorder and all that follows it, we
find Mr.. Mccarthy knee1ing with a
lighted blessed candle in one hand,
and a crucifix in the other beseech-
ing God to have mercy on his SOUL
What striking scene it must have
presented. 1t is safe to say Mr.. Nc
Carthy died as he lived-a true Chris
tian-and we trust that his prayers
were heard and that his soul rests in
peace with it's Maker.

Only Ono Peter on List Of Pontiffs.
The custom of the Pope's changing
his Christian name on his accession
was introduced in 1884 by Peter di
Porca (Sergius III. who in his hui

tuous to call himself Peter II. From
this same feeling no Pope has ever
retained or assumed the name Peter.
