COUNCIL READY
To HEAR PLEA
Of WOMEN

The first step toward considering
, the plea of Atlanta women for. repre-
sentation on various city boards and
| committees was taken by Alderman
Thomson, OF the Fourth Ward, Tues
day when he began formulating plans
for the first meeting of the special
| charter revision committee named by
Council Monday afternoon, of which
he is chairman.
Other members are Aldermen Ke!-
ley, Maddox, Armistead and Owens
and Councilmen Alverson, Shepherd
Boyton. Smith and Mason
Alderman Thomson stated Tuesday
that he will call a meeting Of The
committee within week or ten days,
and while he would express no epin-
ion as to the likelihood of the request
of Atlanta women being given a ia
vorable recommendation by the COM
mittee, he stated that their plea would
be given every consideration.
The resolution asking that the wom-
en- be given representation on the
boards was introduced by Council
man Claude Ashley, and was referred
to the special committee by Council
with instructions that it be given due
consideration.
The special committee also will
take up the proposed reorganization
of the city construction department,
with a view to taking the election of
the Chief OF Construction out of the
hands Of the people Of the city and
vesting it in Council. Members Of the
committee said Tuesday that their de-

sire to perfect his reorganization is
not intended as reflection on Cap
tain Robert M. Clayton, but that it
was necessary in order that an ade-
quate salary can be voted for the Of
flee and to insure the selection OF a
competent man for the position.
The committee also plans to consid-
er recommending the establishment Of
building line in the business section
of the city. so that whenever projects
for the widening of streets are taken
up in the future the work can be done
without such great expense as is nee
essary at present.

MEXICO.

We seem to have been lulled into
the pleasant supposition that peace
prevails in Mexico. That such is the
opposite of the case is easily cleaned
from the accounts that are daily
finding their way through the press.
The Carranza Government has been
carrying on a relentless persecution
OF the Catholic priests and nuns in
Mexico. Our Government is morally
responsible for this condition mas
much as Carranza has been endorsed
by the United States. The American
Federation Of Catholic Societies took
up the matter with the Secretary OF
State and were informed that the in
terests of the Catholic church and its
representatives would be protected.
Nothing has been done. however, and
the church continues to suffer. II
will take great amount OF reason
ing and considerable length Of time
for our Government TO satisfy the
minds OF Catholics that the position
taken is a fair one and that, as a
Government, we are not morally re-
sponsible for some OF the persecu-
lions in Mexico. since the Constitu-
tionalists have been recognized by
the United States.

American people that they are en-
ioying peace while other nations are
in the awful throes of war;" said Car
dinal Gibbons, land would also
congratulate and praise the Ameri-
can Government on its maintenance
of peace, Notwithstanding great
temptations.
"Pope Benedict XIV, the new Pom
tiff, has a great love for America
and Americans, looking up to our
Movement as a model to all and an
example of the best on this earth, -
said Cardinal O'Connell. 1.-THE Holy
Father sent a message of sincere
good will to the people of this land"

PRIESTS MONUMENT.

The Rev. Father Maurice ]. Dor
ney's monument is built. A school
costing 100000 has been erected
beside st. Gabriel's church in Chi
.cago. Though less than seven
months have elapsed since the burial
OF Father Dorney, the efforts of the
Rev. Thomas M. Burke, his success
sor, and of priests of the parish and
friends of the dead pastor have re-
suited in the success of the work.
The original plan was the building
OF a costly shaft as a memorial, but
the Rev. Father Burke told them If
they wished to perpetuate their pas
tors memory to build a school for
the children he loved, whose aim in
lie was their education. 1t will be
one OF the finest schools in Chicago.
One OF the features of the school is
moving picture theater for the con-
gregation. The theater has a seating
capacity OF 500, and a large stage.

RELIGIOUS TEACHING.

Gradually the Protestant denomin-
atoms are coming to realize the
absolute necessity for the religious
training of children, and thereby
approve the educational system that
the Catholic church provides for its
youth. Cooperation among parents,
churches and the public schools in
giving religious instruction to pupils
from the first grade up was urged
Wednesday night by the Rev. DR..
Htonewall Anderson, of Nashville,
Tenn, General Secretary of Educa-
tion for the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in an address at the
Broadway Methodist church before
the Louisville Conference. DIR. Ander-
son deplored the tendency toward
secularization, which he said per-
meated all educational channels, and
asserted there could be no true and
complete education without religion.
He deplored absence of religious in
struction for children during the i'm
questionable years they spend in pub
lie schools, saying America is the
only country in the world where it
is omitted. DR.. Anderson also ex-
pressed the Catholic view that mo
matter by what terms you define
education, there can be no true and
complete education without relig-
ion."

through the press is all against the
Presidents view.
Newspapers have told of the out
RACES inflicted upon defenseless
priests and nuns in Mexico. They
have told us of the brutal conduct
of villareal in Monterey and of
"Contsitutionalist' leaders in many
other places. Only the other day
one hundred fugitives arrived in San
Francisco from the west of Mexico
and their narrative of brutal treat
ment, of pillage and robbery inflict-
ed by the "Carranzistas," under the
leadership of former convict, does
not seem to assure either safety or
peace in that quarter. 1t is the
same wherever the Carranza forces
have penetrated. A reign of terror
and a veritable orgy of irreligion
have gone with them. And this is
what President Wilson and his adj
visers have inflicted on Mexico by
supporting Carranza and Villa
against Huerta.
The President took high ground
in objecting to Huerta. He would
recognize no government in Mexico
that was based on murder and vio-
lence. Then he proceeded to back
Villa and Carranza, who have more
to answer for in the line of murder
than a dozen Huertas. And finally,
when these high-handed bandits
have got the upper hand in Mexico
through the aid of President Will
sons agents, they tell him to get out
of the country! And very obligingly
he complies with their demand and
leaves the decent manhood and wo-
manhood of Mexico to their fate
What that fate will be we may con-
lecture from what has taken place
already Why the hostile attitude
toward Huerta, and the obsequious
yielding to Carranza and Villa?
