Politics, according to Roose-
welt and Taft, is game. Not so
with the county seat bunch, how.
ever. It's a cinch. If ones term
expires there is always a sister,
brother or cousin to take his
place. It's a habit with them
not a game. If there's a republi-
can politician in Colville that
hasn't held county job, please
speak up. But perish the thought
of allowing any outside republi-
can a lookin. Discourage him,
nip his ambition in the bud, soft
soap him, work the old boss"
racket, but by all means keep
him out, for. by all that's good
and just, if you ever once lose
your grip, your power as a COM
bination is gone forever. Mar

which the November election will

valuation of $748, 593, 942.
In 1909 the general tax was

In 1911 the general state tax
was $2,005, 764 on valuation of

The increase for 1911, the third

over 1908, the last year of the
Mead administration, was:
In valuation more than 2795.
In general fund levy more than
31%.
In actual tax called for, more

In other words on top of a
N% increase in valuations the
levy was increased 31qo, thereby
increasing the amount of tax to
be paid to the state for general
purposes 67%.
And on top of that the state is
today in debt to banks for money

out its general fund. more than
half a million dollars that the tax

SOUTH AMERICAN CATHOLICISM

Secretary of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the American Presbyter-
ian Church, gave out in support of his
contention that religion and morals
were utterly rotten in South America,
redeemable only through the coming
of Presbyterianism, an 'tencyclicaP' of
Pope Leo XIII, addressed to the bish-
ops of South America, enumerating,
even as Presbyterianism had not dar-
ed to do, the horrors of Catholicism
in that far-away land, and inviting the
bishops to bestir themselves to de-
gree in stemming the tide of over
flowing evil. Mr.. Speer's attention
was called to the palpable lies of the
printed '|encyclica1,' so gross as to
prove to the first looker-on that it was
naught but forgery. Ali to no effect:
Mr.. Speer, the "encyclicaP' in hand,
wrote and lectured up and down the
country on "our missionary duty to
ica." A Professor of Yale, DR.. Beach,
authenticated the fatal document: the
Literary Digest rehearsed an analy-
sis of it's contents: hundreds of pull
pits, East and West, radiated it's lurid
lights. Catholics protested-but all
to no purpose. -Denials came from the
Vatican that such letter had never
been issued, and from the Archbishop
of Santiago, to whom specifically it
was said to have been addressed, that
such letter had never been received
but all to no purpose: the anxiety
to blacken Catholicism in South Amer
lea was too strong. The "encyclical"
helped the missionaries" it had to
be kept afloat, though fast beneath it's
keel the waters receded. An untiring
priest, Rev. Charles A. Martin, of
Cleveland, continued his labors of refu-
tation: and at last Presbyterian mis-
sionary to Chile, Rev. Webster E.
Browning, avowed that the "encycli-
cal" was clumsy forgery, so admit
ted by its author, a renegade Catholic,
originally published in a radical news
paper, whose editor had been quickly
communicated by the Archbishop
for having printed it. To his credit
DIR. Speer finally retracted his belief
in the far-famed "encyclical."
Leo's "encyclical" is on par with
hundreds of other lies about Catho-
licism in South America. What is to
be done to extirpate those lies root
and branch? It took two years to kill
off one lie. Life is too short to kill
those that are in circulation-so num-
erous they are: and then the "mis-
sionary" is always in the field planting
the seed of other quitch thick and
deep.

SPANISH SANCTUARY
Of PREPARATION
A Majestic Temple Dedicated to the
Sacred Heart Will BE Erected
In Barcelona.

A national sanctuary of reparation
is i'm progress of erection on the out
skirts of Barcelona, Spanish. 1t will
be majestic temple, dedicated to the
Sacred Heart and in charge of the
Salesian Fathers, who are already
serving the part opened for divine
service. The crypt of this immense
temple was opened last year.
The ground had been made over to
Dom Bosco during his lifetime, and
the temple is the realization of his
dream. It il to be national sane
tuary Of reparation; national because
all Spain will contribute to its erec-
tion, and expiatory because it is to be
an act of homage to the Sacred Heart
to repair the proclamation committed
during the "b1ack week" of 1909.
The idea is very popular, and 1t will
be realized in few years. Their
Majesties, the King and Queen OF
Spain, have opened the subscription
list with thousand pesetas, and their
pious example is being followed by
all classes. Mount Tibidabo, on
which the national sanctuary il being
built, is height overlooking the city

PEACE OF CONSTANTINE
Preparations for Centenary CeIebra-
ton in Rome-Pope Buys Site for
Memorial Church.

Since the meeting held a few weeks
ago by the Superior Council, which
Plus K appointed to supervise the ce1e-
bration of the Centenary of the Peace
of Constantine, rapid strides have
been taken towards giving the festi-
walls definite form. When submit
ting to the Protector, Cardinal Cas-
setta, some of it's plans last week, the
Council was informed by his Eminence
that the Holy Father has already pur-
chased site near the Milvian Bridge,
where Constantine defeated Maxen-
thus in 312, for the erection of a
memorial church to commemorate the
peace and liberty then granted to the
Church of Christ. A large number of
Bishops of various countries have in
timated their adhesion to the proposal
emanating from the Superior Council
to the effect that every diocese should
have an association affiliated with the
Council in Rome for the due observ-
ance of the centenary. The period of
observing the centenary by ecclesias-
tical functions in Rome will commence
on Low Sunday, 1913, when the foun.
dation stone of the memorial church
win be laid. In the more important
basilicas of Rome and in the Cata-
combs of S. Callista and the church
which is built over the Catacomb OF
st. Priscilla, Pontifical High Masses
are to be celebrated within the period
which will be specially devoted to the
commemoration of the hour in which
the Church saw her independence
recognized officially. The chief func.
tion will be Pontificial High Mass
celebrated by the Holy Father in st
Peters over the tomb OF the Galilean
Fisherman.

MATTHEW CAREY
The Catholic American Publisher Who
Brought Out in 1890 the First Douay
Bible Printed In This Country.

Matthew Carey is a name that de-
serves to be remembered by American
Catholics, since he was among the
first, II not the first Catholic, engaged
in the trade of publishing, and brought
out in 1890, the first edition of the
Catholic (Douay) Bible printed in this
country. He was native of Ireland
and because of a pamphlet which he
published, urging the repeal of the
English Penal Code against Catholics,
he was compelled to fly to France.
While there he met Lafayette and also
Ben. Franklin, like himself a printer.
He eventually returned to Ireland and
was put In prison. When finally re-
leased, he came to this country and
then commenced his notable career.
A recent book from the Columbia
University Press, says the Catholic
Columbian" gives an interesting &C.
count of his life. Poe said of him
that 'in the whole private and public
course OF Mr.. Matthew Carey the
strictest scrutiny can detect nothing
derogatory to the character of the
noblest work of God, an honest mani"
He was not only publisher but also
a writer, and the various subjects upon
which his pen labored prove him to
have been an indefatigable worker not
only in the cause of Catholic truth
and doctrine but in literary matters
in general. OF him this late book says,
that for more than fifty years, as a
publisher and editor, he had an open
mind for all writer's as well as, for
the most influential persons of his
time and caused books and all their
attendant blessings to penetrate even
beyond the Mississippi while yet the
Indian disputed possession with tho
white man. To crown all he was q
devoted patriot and though he loved
and labored for his adopted country.
he never forgot his native land.
Matthew Carey's life and labors
might well serve as an inspiration to
all who labor in the field of Catholic
letters, not always either a lucrative
or grateful field.

COLLEGE Of ST. CHARLES
Cornerstone to Be Laid at CatonsviIIe
on June 2 by Cardinal Gibbons
Replaces Former institution at
Ellicott City.

The cornerstone of the new ST.
Charles College at Catonsville, Mr..
will be laid at 4 o'clock Sunday after
noon, June 2, by Cardinal Gibbons.
Rev. DIR. G. F. Thomas, rector of st.
AIMS Church, Baltimore, will preach.
The music for the occasion will be
furnished by the senior band Of st.
Mary's Industrial School
The old st. Charles College, founded
in 1881 and located about five miles
from Ellicott City, Md, was destroyed
by fire on March 16, 1911. For several
months the college authorities we're
unable to determine upon a change
of location, being attracted to the old
site by many associations. After de-
liberation the Su1pician Fathers, di-
rected by the Cardinal, decided finally
to locate at Catonsville.
The new buildings will be models
of architectural skill. There will be
a group of three structures, modern
and attractive in every point and fire
proof throughout. An effort is being
made to complete the dormitory build
ing by September 1. The construction
of the rest of the group will be begun
as soon as the work on the dormitory
building is well under way. The entire
cost of the group will be about
100000.

BISHOP DOWuNG's RESIDENCE.
Non-catholic Family Give Parental
Home to Secure Endowment for
Catholic Hospital-A Magnificent
Gift.

The palatial residence of the late
known as Herndon Hall, has been
decided by his heirs to the Right Rev
erend Austin Bowling, Bishop of Des
Moines, for an episcopal residence.
The children of the late Mr.. Polk
wished to make some provision by
which Herndon Hall might be pre-
served intact and put to good use.
The property comprises four or five
acres: the house, of stone and brick
construction, was erected in 1893 and
it is said that the original cost was
about one hundred and seventy-fve
thousand dollars. It's present market
value is placed at ninety thousand dol
lars. The heirs, however, on learning
that it was not the intention of the
Bishop to spend more than twenty
thousand dollars for his residence,
offered the entire property to him for
that amount on condition that he use
Herndon Hall as his official residence
and that the twenty thousand dollars
to be paid for it be given to the Sis
ters in charge of Mercy Hospital to
endow four beds in perpetuity for the
accommodation Of the sick poor of
Des Moines.
This generous gift to the Sisters of
Mercy is a tribute from the Polk fam
lily to their parents who in life were
staunch friends and admirers Of the
Sisters, as well as of the Catholic
Church though they themselves We're
not of the household of the Faith.

he surrendered to his pursuers, and

Now May proclaims her closing hours,
The close of anthems to our Queen;
And June is near, SO we must CLEAN
For her dear Son the fairest flowers
Fit prelude to His Sacred Heart
Devotion to that spotless one;
In praising her we praise her Son
For love can ne'er keep both apart.
How meet the step from May to June,
AS in Redemption's work we trace
The progress of Gods gentle grace
With Mary, morn: with Jesus, noon.
On natures book the same is writ
Few were the flowers at dawn of
May,
The Virgins altar cheerless lay,
No rose abloom was seen on it.
But as the waking of the morn
Puts lone and darksome hours to

So oped their myriad petals bright
Her rayless altar to adorn.

And hearts with fiery fervor glow.
