announcement, coming as 1t does from
so dominant a factor In the tire field,
has led to speculation as to whether
other tire companies will follow the
Goodrich lead.
mo explanation or reasons why are
given in this announcement" said a
prominent tire man. But with crude
rubber selling at somewhat lower
figure than that prevailing for year
or more past, and the constant devils
ing and application Of new higher eff
cheney methods Of tire manufacture,
the reduced Goodrich tire prices are
but natural outcome.
This instance shows the willing
ness Of great corporation to give the
buying public the BENEFITS derived
from changed and improved condi-
tons,
I'VE understand that the reduction
betters the present price to the user
per cent. This, coupled with the
reduction first put into effect by the
same company nearly year ago, en-
ables the purchase OF tires by the
user now at material saving over
prices prevailing prior to April OF last

FIRST NATIVE priest
FATHER NELL WAS FIRST MA
TIVE or NEW YORK TO BECOME
A PRIEsT-oR ORDAINED BY
BISHOP FENWIcK IN 1927.

The lives of the pioneer priests have
special interest to Catholics, par
ticularly those of their own country.
From memoir left by the late Right
Reverend DR.. Richard Lalor Burtsell,
who died February 4, 1912, while pas
tor of st. Mary's Church, Kingston, N.
Y, some interesting facts are CLEANED
regarding the career of his kinsman,
Father Neill, who was the first native
of New York State to be ordained to
the priesthood.
Father Neill was born in New York,
December 4, 1898, ard belonged to a
family which gave many priests and
nuns to- the Churc. Miss Lalor
Mother Teresa wn ounded the first
house of the Sisters of the Visitation
in this country and wh5 opened their
first school at Georgetown, D. c., June
"a, 1899, was his cousin and the Misses
Lalor, Sister Cosmas and Damian OF
the Sisters of Charity at Emmitsburg
were his maternal aunts.
AS boy he came under the benign
influence of the sanity Jesuit, Father
Anthony Kohlmann, who was then
pastor of old st. Peters Church in
Barclay Street, and when he was fif
teen years of age he was sent to
Georgetown College. He entered the
novitiate of the Society of Jesus in
Frederick, Nd, November 5, 1913, max
ing mis- first vows two years later.
He was sent to Rome in June, 1917
and when his course was completed he
returned to Georgetown College as q
member of the teaching staff. He was
ordained by Bishop Edward Dominic
Fenwick, o. s. D., November 25, 1927
Father Neill was attached to Holy
Trinity Church, Georgetown, until
1882 and after year spent at the col
lege as professor of rhetoric he tool
up the duties of a secular priest al
old st. Peters Church, New York
where he labored until his death, No
vember 5, 1888. One of the affairs in
the Church of the Epiphany, New
York, was erected by the Misses Gal
lagher, his cousins, as memorial tC
New York's first native priest.

CATHOLIC TOLERANCE
CARDINAL MANNING ONCE DE-
cLARED THAT "THE CHILDREN
OF MARTYRS NEVER BECOME
PROSECUTORS" AND THE FACTS
OF HISTORY BEAR OUT THE
CONTENTION.

In the course of sermon delivered
in the Baltimore Cathedral lately,
Cardinal Gibbons referred with par
donable pride to his native Maryland
as 'the cradle of civil and religious
liberty" and the only one of the Amer
lean colonies that raised aloft the
banner Of freedom of conscience and
invited the oppressed of other colonies
to seek an asylum beneath it's folds.
The Charter of Liberties" issued by
Thomas Dongan, New Yorks first
Catholic Governor, has won for him a
renown equal to that Of Calvert.
AS Cardinal Manning once said,
"the children of martyrs never be-
come prosecutors" Dealing with the
baseless charge of religious intoler-
ance sometimes made against Irish
Catholics the writer of an article in
the British Review entitled "Ulsteria"
shows that it is refuted by facts of
past and present history. AS an IL
lustration he recalls the action of the
Irish Parliament Of James ii in 1889,
when for a brief period the Catholic
majority held the reins of power in
their own country, and proceeds:
"'There was probably writes Lecky,
scarcely a man in the Irish Parlia-
ment of 1889 who had not been deep
ly injured by the penal enactments
in his fortune and family Yet that
Parliament, which the Protestant Un-
ionist historian confesses to be far in
advance of its age established abso-
Lutte religious freedom and equality.
It's authority was, unfortunately, OF
brief duration, and when power re-
verted to Protestants, they replied by
Penal Code, which was aptly de-
scribed by Edmund Burke as "a ma
chine of wise and elaborate contriv-
ance, as well fitted for the oppression,
impoverishment and degradation of a
people as ever proceeded from the
perverted ingenuity of man. For
centuries the Irish Catholic majority
were mere serfs, prosecuted and pro.
secuted, only existing, as an eminent
judge declared, by the connivance OF
the government It seems little
strange at first sight that the bitter
ness Of those days should survive in
the prosecutors and not in the per-
secuted. The Orange outcry against
Popish intolerance is unsustained
by one title of proof"

IN SPAIN
AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL CITES
FACTS TO SHOW THAT SPAIN IS
BETTER OFF THAN ENGLAND IN
THIS REGARD.

"The supposed high rate of litter
acy in Spain," says the Southern
Cross, of Adelaide, Australia, ''has
been shown time and again to be
largely due to the manner in which
the statistics are compiled. They in
clude children under ten, and class as
illiterate all those who cannot read
and write the official Castilian Ian
guage, though many can read and
write the Catalan and Basque dialects,
which are also used by large portions
of the population It was the same in
Ireland in penal times, when distin-
guished scholars, who could read,
write, and speak Gaelic and Latin and
other languages, we're returned as
illiterate' because they refused to
learn the tongue of the Saxon invader
AS matter of fact, Spain is better cf
than England and other Protestant
countries as regards higher education,
having no less than ten universities
and fffty-eight institutions, or middle
class schools, of which there must be
one in every province. It is a gross
exaggeration to say that 20 per cent.
OF the population of Spain are Hitter
ate, as the 'Statesman's Year Book,
an English Protestant publication,
gives the figures for 1900 as $50.
Doubtless the last census showed a
further reduction in illiterates, as
there were in 1910 $4,000 public
schools and 5000 private schools, with
over two million pupils, In popula-
ton Of under twenty millions That is
not such bad showing for poor
country, which is largely agricultural =

CARDINAL RAMP0LLA
MOURNED BY ALL
POPE Plus x. GRIEF-sTRIcKEN-
FUNERAL SERVICES IN ST.
PETERS ATTENDED BY DlSTIN.
GUISHED PRELATES AND DlPLo-
MATS-BURIED IN THE CHURCH
OF ST. CECILIA.

The funeral obsequies of His Emf
nence Cardinal Rampolla who died sud
denly on December IL, were held in
st. Peters two days later, and were
attended by the members of the Sa-
cred College, the Diplomatic Corps,
the Papal Court, the knights of Malta,
and a large number of clerymen and
laymen of all nationalities.
The Pontifcal Mass of Requiem
was celebrated by Mgr. Pietro Jorio
Vicar of ST. Peters and the absolu-
ton was given by Cardinal Vincenzo
Vannutelli. The remains were after
wards inferred in the Church of st.
Cecilia of which the deceased Car
dinal was protector and which he had
restored.
When the news of Cardinal Rampol-
las death was broken to the Holy
Father by His Eminence Cardinal
Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of
State, and Mgr. Bressan, the Pope's
private Secretary, he was much af-
fected and begged for fuller details.
Later on he issued statement in
which he said that Cardinal Ram
polla was one of the greatest men in
the Church. He had become even
greater since he retired from state
affairs" His Holiness then ordered
that the highest honor should be
paid to the deceased Cardinal.
That the. death of Cardinal Ram
polla was entirely unexpected is shown
by what occurred on the previous day
In the morning His Eminence went
to ST. Peters to inspect the work oi
restoration of the choir. Later he
felt a general indisposition which
developed into profound prostration
but he refused to allow his Secretary
to remain with him all night in the
little palace behind st. Peters where
he had lived since his retirement from
public life.
The Cardinals Secretary alarmed
at his condition consulted a physician
The latter visited the Cardinal but
discovered no serious symtons and or
dered him to take complete rest.
Later in the evening the Cardina
grew worse and had great difficulty
in breathing. He sent messenger
hurriedly for his Secretary and phys
ician, but when they arrived life was
already extinct.
The physician declared death due
to angina pectoris. The Cardinal:
Secretary performed the last rites o.
the Church and then informed the
sisters of the deceased prelate, Baron
ess Carolina Rampolla-P Pezzana, anC
the Papal Secretary Of State, whC
broke the sad news to His Holiness
the Pope.
