charged in their treatment of help
less women. He was deeply moved
In speaking of the assassination of
clergymen by Villa, and saw little
hope of the restoration of peace
through the triumph of the constitu-
tionalists, it being a conflict of the
outs to get in with the prospect of
counter revolutions in almost any
event.
AS he had visited London on his
homeward route from Europe, his
attention was called to the violent
doings of the suffragettes of England
and he strongly condemned their
conduct.
He spoke of the destruction of
property. and was severe in denounc-
ing such acts as the malicious de-
struction of invaluable works of art,
which can never be replaced.
The English government. he said,
had been extremely lenient in its
treatment of the misguided people,
and the effect of that leniency had
been singular. The Cardinal was not
backward in expressing the opinion
that they are demonstrating their
unfitness for the exercise of the
privilege for which they are so vio-
lently contending.

Charles Church, Pikesville, Md. has

Father Riordan has been mo of
the most virile ministers of Balti-
more. of which Pikesville is a suh-
urb. He was pastor of st. Charles
church for many years, and his in
terest in the problems of humanity
took the broadcast range, manifesting
itself in stirring sermons and letters
Without overstepping the bounds of
his office. he gave expression to
positive views from time to time
upon social. political and economic
questions. A year or two ago, Faith
er Riordan took vigorously to task a
correspondent. who. in letter to a
Baltimore paper advocated fewer
ana better-cared-for babies az an
antidote for race suicide. In 1917
rather Riordan represented Carolina,
tioDons at the Eucharistic Congress-
in Madrid. S>'~
