Why Not in America, Too?


From the New York Churchman,
August 2, 1913.
The bishop of Manchester is de-
termined to make the church public
understand what the papal decree on
mixed marriages, Ne Temere, in
wolves. He has been publicly at
tackled for his references to the de-
cree, but he is in no way dismayed.
He appeals to facts, and his facts are
unchallenged, for the very good rea-
son that they cannot be explained
away-much less denied. He sum-
marizes the position as follows:
Rome treats as invalid and aduIter-
Gus marriages that have been law
fully contracted. Rome uses pres
sure to force Protestants to go
through services which treat their
own religious services as a mere
nullity; wage-earners in Lancashire
have been told that though they have
been married and are living pure
lives, yet they are but adulteresses
or prostitutes; wives have been en-
cOuraged to leave their husbands
and to take away the child from
his father" Prominent Roman
Catholics, it is said, are much dis
tressed by the operation of the de-
cree and wish to see England ex-
clUded, as Germany and Austria
Hungary have been, from it's work.

cinnati, Ohio, August 2, 1918.
TN SEVERAL States of the
Union and in Washington, D.
g., there exists what practi-
ca1ly amounts to Catholic
lobby, and it is now being
openly agitated that such Hobbies
should be Systematically maintained.
The Kansas City Journal of May 10
last, under great scare headlines on
the front page, reports Bishop Lillis,
in an address to the United German
Catholic societies at Roanoke, as ad-
vOcating the maintenance of permG-
nent Catholic lobby at Jefferson
City:
Il approve very much Of your eff
forts to protect the interests of the
church while the Legislature is in ses-
sion. The bankers and other inter-
ests have representation at Jefferson
City. The Catholic Church is one of
the largest property-holders in the
State and should be represented there
all the time.
81 am sorry to say that there are
times when the church badly needs
representation in the legislature.
During the last session resolution
was introduced calling for an inspec-
ton Of the sisterhoods and converts.
[ shall dismiss this subject here with
these remarks: Neither the sister
hood nor the converts depend upon
the State for maintenance, or even
small appropriation. They are es-
sentially private institutions, and
therefore this resolution was the out
growth of bigotry based upon ignor-
ance."
You will observe the bishops log
ic. Those who moved for the in
spection of converts are ignorant
bigots, because the converts are pri-
vate institutions. This is after the
manner of Rome, to insult it's oppo-
nents, not to argue with them.

The Prevention and Control
Undertaken by Federal

operate to Eradicate this
Disease

The Federal Government IS to
spen several thousand dollars
per year in hog cholera proven
ton and control work in Pettis
county, Mo. The funds available
for this work come through an
appropriation of SIS, 900 made to
the Bureau of Animal Industry
Of the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture for demonstrating the
hest methods of preventing and
eradicating hog cholera.
Sometime ago the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture learn
ed that the agricultural authori-
ties at Washington had in view
the selection of one county in
each of three leading hog pro
.ducing states where work look
ing to the eradication of hog
cholera was to be done. 1t was
also learned that Missouri was
not one of the states cOnditiOnally
chosen. Then the Missouri Board
got busy. kilograms urging
Missouri's claims were sent to
Secretary David A. Houston,
Speaker Champ Clark and Sena-
tors Reed and Stone. Through
the Board, Governor Major was
advised of the situation and rem
dered valuable aid. The result

conferences, one of which was
held in Kansas City, June II,
when representatives of the
Missouri Board met with DR.. NJ.

Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Mis-
souri, came in for consideration.
Plans proposed were later sub
.mitted to the Missouri Board of
Agriculture and the Agricultural
College, both institutions express
sing a willingness to cooperate
with the Department at Wash
ington. Choice Of a county in
which to work was left to the
Federal authorities, but Secretary

ers will also be instructed re-
garding methods of prevention.
All results are to be reported.
Records showing total number of
logs in area will be made. In
addition, records of losses dur
ing preceding years will also be
compiled.
In carrying out this work in
Pettis county where S. NJ. Jor-
don formerly associated with the
Missouri Board of Agriculture, is
county farm adviser the Federal
Government will spend several
thousand dollars. DR.. Murphy,
representing the Government,
Will have two or more assistants,
and will devote his entire time to
Ptttis county. From the head
quarters, which will be maintain
ed in Sedalia, practically any
finn in the county where an out
break Of cholera might occur can
be reached within an hour or two
when serum will be administer
cd, other preventive measures
taken, and quarantine establish
ed.
At a meeting held in Sedalia
July "a, and attended by DR.. w.
NJ. Niles and DR.. Bernard w.
Murphy of the Bureau of Animal
Industry U. S. Department of
Agriculture, DR.. j. W. COnnaway
of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture, and DR.. S. Sheldon,
State Veterinarian, plans for the
work were perfected. The Board
of Agriculture will issue and en-
force such restrictive regulations
as may be deemed necessary af-
ter conference with Federal Of
%ficials. The Bureau of Animal
Industry will undertake to fur
nish all serum required for the
work, but in case of shortage the
Missouri College of Agriculture
will supply the deficiency so far
as possible. The College of
Agriculture will work with the
county agent, assist in the educa-
tional campaign and with the
work in general.
If this cholera prevention and
control work, seemingly so in
telligently undertaken, proves
successful in Pettis county, other
win want to follow.
