Rome Refuses to Annul
Marriage for Woman
Who Would Wed Again

A Marriage Case Before the Roman
Rota.-The decision given by the arch.
bishop of Oregon, U. S. A., in a mar
riage case, was on appeal sustained by
the Sacred Rota. The young man, who
had no religion and was not even bap-
tized, was accepted only after he had
promised to be instructed and receive
baptism; seven months after entering
the church the marriage took place,
but from all accounts it was not
happy one, and five months later the
young husband deserted his wife. And
as she later wished to marry someone
else, she addressed a petition to the
archbishop Of Oregon, to the teffect
that her first marriage be declared
null and void, on the plea of a simu-
lated or sham consent on the part of
her husband; but the archbishop's Gu
ria decided adversely. The wife then
appealed to the Roman tribunal, but
here again, as there was no serious
proof of a simulated consent, the final
verdict was that there was no evil
dence that the marriage was null and
void"

Campaign Against
Obscene Pres.

The letter campaign against the
obscene press has become a nation
wide movement of letter writing in
protest against allowing the use of
the mails to obscene anti-Catholic lit

mated as the time when the campaign
should reach its climax. 1t is the
duty of every Catholic to address a
letter to the Postmaster General or to
the representative in Congress from
their district.

of type of letter that may be sent in
connection with the campaign:

of its advocacy of the appointment of

"He is Catholic" says the letter.
Well, what of it?
Because Dowd has his religious pref

If Catholic postmaster is a menace
then a Catholic cashier-which Dowd
now isis also no less a menace.
Happily, the narrow viewpoint of
Five Subscribers is not shared by
the community.
Dowd is entitled to the job because
of his long and faithful service in the

the job rather than some other man

The old scheme of handing out a
postmastership as a political reward is
not appropriate nowadays. 1t is a
dead graft!
Dowd is the man best fitted for the
job because he has been in the post
office business nearly 20 years; be-
cause he is entitled to the job by viz.
tue of his long service in the govern,
ment; because he has worked his way
up by the faithful and diligent per

These are the reasons why The

summary of which was given in re-.

To our beloved son, health and the
Apostolic Benedfction.
We have received from you the good
news that His Majesty the Emperor of
Germany, acceding to your petition,
has decided that the priests of God be-
longing to the French armies, who
are prisoners in Germany, shall re-
ceive the same treatment as officers.
Assuredly in this time of great bit
terness, when all Europe devastated
by fire and sword, is red with the
blood of Christians and when our soul
is afflicted with indispensable sad
ness, your words have been a great
comfort to us. We have understood
from that news how deep is your love
towards all those who are bound to
you by the sacerdotal ties.
We are convinced that your charity
will be extended not only to the
French priests, but as far as possible
to the other prisoners, without distinc-
ton of religion or country, who are
detained in your country. Let your
charity be exercised especially to.
wards all the sick and the wounded, SO
that their sufferings may be alleviated
and that provision can be made for
their spiritual welfare. If this work
Of charity is obligatory or all men,
it belongs in special way to the
province of the ministers of God and
all others who are devoted to reli.
gion. We are confident, therefore
that your example will be initiated by
all who glory in Christianity, and in
particular by the Catholic bishops and
priests, and that this will be the case
not only in Germany, but wherever
prisoners arrive, especially if they are
sick or wounded.
