ROme's Air Castles FaIl

The castles in the air OF the Ro-
man hierarchy, OF temporal dominion
In the Western Hemisphere, seem TO
be Of almost as substantial stuff as that
OF which dreams are made. With the
exit Of the Fat One, the forced domlna-
ton OF Mexico by the priests came to
sudden and lnglorious end-and
proved beyond any question OF doubt
that the charges OF the Menace we're
true TO the last particular. Il is now
seen 70 be fact that the Diaz senti-
ment in Mexico is the ruling one, be-
cause the most powerful. II Is seen be-
yond any question that Diaz was able
TO remain in control, and that he vol.
unfairly went into exile when the
United States government, acting in
the person Of Taft, at the behest Of
the Roman hierarchy, threw the Amer
lean army along the Rio Grande and
threatened 10 invade Mexico unless
Diaz left tho country.
For the past two years the Catholics
have been "in control" In Mexico and
the administration has been all that
intelligent people expected II TO be.
Their inability TO maintain the slight.
est degree OF order, to give any pro-
lection whatever TO life and property.
is Characteristic OF Catholic civil ad-
ministration, in dealing with It's hOrdes
Of ignorant victims. And. the capital
lists who furnished the funds for the
rebellion" against Diaz, not being
able to do any business after the "revo-
luton" had succeeded, finally began

hierarchy was able TO deliver wasn't
worth hell room. Hence, their sup
port was withdrawn from the ardent

We understand that some corpora

fetal positions in their service-not be-
cause OF their religion. but because 10
has been found that in order TO be n
good Catholic one must have a mind
not adapted to modern progress. As a
Catholic, one must have a simple and
abiding faith in a great deal OF tommy
rot-must believe that many things
are true, which science has proven to
be impossible, must not study and in-
vestigate on their own account, but
must accept as true the version given
by some one else who knows nothing
about Il. And the dictum OF this lgno-
ramus. even II disproven by science,
must be accepted and adhered to,
without question. or doubt. on the PEN
atty OF going 70 hell and sizzling In a
lake Of FIRE for the rest OF time. Such
mentalities as that. II is being found,
are Of less value than other kinds
which are unprejudiced. open to con-
viction on anything. and which cease
lessly investigate from the basis OF
already scientifically proven facts. And
that is the reason why some Of the cor
porations are quietly dropping Cath
olics from their oficial roster, and W.
Catholics are not moving up TO the
front as they have been doing In the
past.

Lew Richie Escapes
Death in Accident

DAYTONA, Fla. Jan. 21.-"Lur1d
lew Richie, one of the star pitchers OF
the Chicago Cubs staff. was badly cut.
bruised and shaken up and had mar
row escape from being dangerously hurt
while speeding on his motorcycle on the
famous Daytona beach automophe
speedway yesterday afternoon.
Richie, in company with Bill Hlnch-
man. manager of the columbus Ameri-
can Association club, was on his way
from New Smyrna TO Ormond to pay
friendly call on Jim Archer. and the
two were making fast time when the
formers machine struck soft spot
in the sand and the pitcher was cata-
pulted ahead and rolled over on the
beach Hinchman was but few yards
behind and managed to turn his ma
chine in time to miss the thrown heav-
er although Hinchman was hurled
from his motorcycle and also badly
bruised.
Riches machine was wrecked and
the pitcher was stunned, but he later
revived and was taken to New Smyrna
on Hinchman's machine. His legs.
arms, and head were cut. bruised. and
scratched, and he considers himself
fortunate to have escaped more serious
injuries.
