COUNT De NUN
DEATH OF LEADER OF FRENCH
CATHOLICISM DISTINGUISHED
SOLDIER, DIPLOMAT AND WRIT
Err - MEMBER OF FRENCH
ACADEMY.

Count Albert de Nun, academician
leader of the Catholics in the Cham
ber of Deputies, died suddenly of heart
disease on Octoberl6, in his temper
ary residence at Bordeaux, France.
The Counts staunch Catholic arti
cles in the Echo de Paris since the
outbreak of the war have been spe.
cial feature of French political life
The lofty patriotism of their tone has
done much toward healing partisan
wounds and increasing in a general
way national cohesion during the
present crisis in the destinies of
France.
The Count suffered from heart at.
tacks, which increased in vigor lately.
He had three sons fighting with their
regiments, and one of these visited
him few days before his death. This
visit caused great emotion to the
Count, whose passionate interest in
the war news and anxiety about his
sons had a bad effect upon his health.
Count Adrien Albert Marie de Nun
was a grandson of the Marquis de
Nun, Chamberlain of the first Ma
poleon. He was born in 1841, entered
the military academy of st. Cyr in
1860, served in Algiers as lieutenant
in 1862-67 and fought through the
Franco-Prussian war. He was deco
rated with the Legion of Honor for
gallant conduct at Metz and was an
adjutant to General de pAdmirault in
Paris. In 1872 he became a captain
of dragons and in 1875 resigned from
the army
The Count was at one time Minister
of Foreign Affairs, represented one
of the electoral districts of Finistoc
in the Chamber of Deputies and was
member of the French Academy.
The Catholic workihgmen's clubs in
France resulted from his extensive
agitation in favor of the Church. He
wrote several works on patriotic and
social themes. He was a royalist, but
rallied to the support of the repub-
lie when Pope Leo called on French
Catholics to do SO. He strongly op.
posed the so-called Separation Law
His home was in the Avenue de
PAlma, Paris.

DEATH OF CARDINAL FERRATA
PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE
SUccUMBS AFTER BRIEF ILL
NESS - HAD DISTINGUISHED
DIPLOMATIC CAREER - WAS
PROMINENTLY MENTIONED AS
SUCCESSOR TO POPE Plus X.

His Eminence Dominica Cardinal
Ferrata, Secretary of State to His
Holiness Pope Benedict XIV, died in
Rome on October 10, after brief ill
ness. Shortly after his appointment
as Papal Secretary of State about five
weeks ago, he was stricken with ap-
pendicitis. The attending physicians
deemed an operation inadvisable.
Complications set in and peritonitis
developed Last weeks dispatches
from Rome announced that his condi-
tion was very grave and death came
to his relief at the end of the week.
His funeral obsequies took place last
Tuesday from the Basilica of st. John
Lateran and the remains were inferred
in the family tomb in Gradoli, near
Viterbo.
Cardinal FerTata was native of
the Diocese of Montefiascone in Italy,
where he was born on March 4, 1847.
After serving several years as profes-
sor of Canon Law in the College of
the Propaganda, he was named Audi
tor of the Apostolic Nunciature in
Paris in 1879. Five years later he
was appointed President of the Pom
tifical Academy of Mobiles. In 1885 he
was consecrated Titular Archbishop
of Thessalonica and sent to Brussels
as Nuncio, where he remained for six
years and was then transferred to a
similar post in Paris. His Holiness
Pope Leo XIII created and proclaimed
him Cardinal in the Consistory of
June, 1896. For several years he was
Prefect of the Congregation of the
Sacraments and then Secretary of the
Congregation of the Holy Office until
his appointment as Papal Secretary
of State on the day following the elec-
ton of Cardinal Della Chiesa to the
Supreme Pontificate. After the death
of the late Pope, Cardinal Ferrata was
prominently mentioned as a successor

There was much to be learned by
attending the sessions of the Ameri-
can Prison Association which held it's
annual convention in st. Paul, Octo-
Der 8 to 8. Here we're gathered dele
gates from the United States and
Canada. Here one met with intelli-
gent, noble men and women who are
graphing with the most important So
cial problems and earnestly striving
to bring about the permanent better
ment of convicted violators of the
law.
The time was when little thought
was given to criminals and no SYM
.pathy wasted on the incarcerated.
Lack of interest on the part of the
public meant lack of inquiry as to the
manner of caring for those committed
to penal institutions. The consequence
often was that superintendents OF
prisons considered themselves free to
treat prisoners according to their own
views: and when the warden was a
pronounced believer in corporal pun
ishment many convicts were treated
inhumanely.
A great change has taken place dur
ing the last two decades. In recent
years state prisons have been erected
that are sanitary and well-lighted ano
afford excellent living conditions fol
those doing time" A visit to an up
to-date prison-such as the Minnesota
State Prisons a source of joy to al
who are imbued with humane prin
ciples. All authorities are loud in
their praise of the Saltwater prison
An inquiry into the manner of treat
ing prisoners reveals the fact thai
each man is looked upon as a human
being and treated as such. 1t is
pleasure to learn that this now OBJ
tains in nearly all penal institutions.
During the prison congress there
was afforded excellent opportunity o
learning what was being done for i'm
prisoned men all over the country

found on the statutes Of many stateI

which permit the proper authorities
to reward prisoner for good conduct
and by so doing encourage him to re
main a law-abiding citizen. Gradually
state officials have come to realize
how unwise it is to open the doors oi
a prison, at the expiration of a court
stipulated term, to one who is a men
ace to society. 1t took time to realize
that incarceration which is of nc
value to the prisoner is often of nc
value to society. Every convict should
be reformed. He should be made q
better man before being allowed his
freedom; and it is only after he has
given evidence of regret for crimes
committed and shown that he is de
termined to lead a respectable life
that he should be freed from institu
tional restraint.
Permanent Reform Through Re-
Iiqion.
What must be done to bring about
a desirable change in criminals is 6
question to which thoughtful men are
trying to give satisfactory answer
Will commodious quarters, comfort
able bed and good food win over the
rebellious? If these things fail, what
more should be done? Will work de
velop manly spirit or will amuse
ments bring about desired results?
How can we do most for the mora
we'll being of convicts? We shoulG
not have to wait long for an answer
from any Christian man who has haC
experience with prisoners. Permanent
reform can be brought about through
religious teaching, by getting the sin
ner to turn to God with a penitent anC
humble heart. There are too many o
our faith wearing prison garb. Ever!
one of these has been remiss in tn,
practice of his religion. Almost al
Catholics had, before commitment
directed their steps to saloon O

ing to church. They had rejected tn,
grace of God and soon fell prey t,

The necessity of religious teaching
the Importance of attending religion
exercises, and the power to uplift ,ol

FORESTS OF MINNESOTA

suited Timber is the most valuable
crop that can be raised on these for
est lands. The state already has for
est reserves of 443,000 acres, and If
amendment No. 9 is adopted, will add
to these perhaps a million acres, which
are not only to be preserved as for
est lands, but to be used for the bene.
fit of the people.
Forestry Methods in Europe.
That the forests may be used, and
also preserved indefinitely may be
learned by study of forestry methods
as practiced in European countries.
The state forest of Zurich, Switzer-
land, known as Sihlwald, was estab-
lished about the year 1900; and for
the last one hundred years has been
managed SO as to yield an annual
revenue of $3.50 an acre. One of the
public forests in Bavaria is said to
produce d net revenue as high as $18
an acre. The six million of state for
est in Prussia produce an annual
revenue of $12, $1,000; and the French
government forests of 2,750,000 acres
are made to yield annually $5,500,0O0.
Every country of Europe practices
forestry; that is, manages its for
ests SO that they may produce crops
of timber year after year. 1t is not
unreasonable to believe that, IL Euro
pean forests can be SO managed as
to yield an income of So to $18 an
acre, the forests of Minnesota may
be made similarly profitable, and add
$2,000,00O or more each year to the
state revenues.
A Game Preserve.
But the value of the forests does
not consist only in the timber pro-
duced, but also in this, that the for
ests are the homes of many fur-bear-
ing animals, large game, and game
birds. These, in spite OF hunting
regulations, are destined to disappear,
If the destruction of their forest home
Is permitted No one would wish TO
see the wild life of the state follow
the path taken by the buffalo of the
western plains. The woods of the
north are the Mecca of the huntsmaT
and the fisherman, and of every lover
of the out-of-doors. The possibilities
of the forests as recreation grounds
for the people are great, for the elk
and the beaver, the game and the
song birds, add to the charm of a
country that already is charming with
its brooks and rocky streams, and Its
lakes glistening in the woodlands.
This recreation feature will also be

President Wilson has announced
the withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico; also that he may not
relieve the non-American refugees in
Vera Cruz whose lives and property
are at the mercy of the Villa-Carranza
hordes, and has apparently obtained
no guarantees for the civil and re-
ligious liberty which the Carranza
program specifically denies to the
priests, religious and Catholics of
Mexico. Is the President, neverthe-
less, under strict obligation to protect
the refugees from "Constitutionalist"
Tapacity and vengeance? Is he bound
in justice to secure to Catholics and
other citizens of Mexico their inalien-
able right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness? And are we bound
in honor and conscience to see to it
that he does provide safety for these
refugees, and does exact such guar
antees and see that they are kept?
The writer is in possession of mass
of authentic documents that compel
an affirmative answer to these ques-
tions. They come from American and
Mexican citizens of repute, some of
them filling responsible positions un-
der both governments, and all record
ing what they had themselves wit
messed on the spot. Officials, citi-
zens and military men of high-stand-
ing in the Mexican and American
service have also been interviewed,
and they confirmed the documentary
statements from their personal eX-
perience. Some of the facts so at
tested are reserved for the present; j;
enough of them will now be advanced
to determine the point at issue; and
for all these there is incontestable eyi-
dence.
Madero Asked to Resign.
In February, 1913, Felix Diaz's revo-
lutionary army entered Mexico City
and engaged in sanguinary battles
with President Madero's forces I'M
der General Huerta. To stop the
bloodshed, the entire diplomatic
corps, including Ambassador Wilson,
and the Mexican Senate, agreed to
send ENJOYS to Madero asking him
to resign. General Banquet and
some officers undertook the task.

was captured and sent under guard

der, and when he was elected Pro-
Visional President by Congress, Feb.
ruary 10, recommended his recogni.
ton to the United States. All other
governments recognized him and Pres
ident Taft promised to do so when
stability of government was estab-
lished.
The Inauguration of President Will

one of Secretary of State Bryan's
first acts was to issue a complete
approval of the whole course of Am

denly changed President Wilson de-
clared he would never recognize HUI
erta nor any member of his cabinet,
nor any other except the winning can
which Huerta should have no control.
Huerta had established a stable gov
ernment. He had won the confidence
of the orderly elements in the popu-
latiOn, including the American resi-
dents in Mexico, and had established
order everywhere except in a few
northern districts where disorder had
been chronic. This had not yet be-
come formidable and it appeared GER
tain that he would there also i'm
pose his authority. Why, then, did
our government become suddenly hos
tile?
Huerta Rejects Masonry.
President Huerta opened Congress
in the Name of God and called upon
it to pray that God bring peace to
their land and so legislate that Gods
law should reign in Mexico. 1t was
new departure, for no President
before him had felt the need or dared
to invoke the assistance of God. The
people applauded, but many of the
congressman showed hostility. Soon
a deputation of Shriners representing
both Mexican and American Masonry
called upon Huerta, and proposed that
he become a Mason, promising that
if he did so and followed Masonic
principles they would have him elected
President and secure him American
recognition and support. One of the
danIItiac JUar Conafor Cacfi11n% mho
received a medal from American Ma
sonry for forwarding it's interests in
Mexico. Huerta's refusal was uncom-

it as he should have been, he could
not replace it by Masonic emblems,
