GIVES CATHOLIC VIEW
CONCERNING SUFFRAGE
Rev. James R. Cox Explains
Why Public Frequently Is
Misled Upon Subject

Refuting the idea that the Catholic
church is opposed to woman suffrage
Rev. James r. Cox of Epiphany Cath
Ole Church, Pittsburgh, in a commu
nication sent to the Woman Suffrage
Party of Allegheny County, recently
asserted declarations to this effect
are erroneous and misleading.
His communication, in part, fol.
lows:
There is an idea prevalent that
the Catholic Church, It's hierarcy and
people are opposed to equal franchise.
This impression is probably founded
on the fact that some of the leading
authorities of the church have de-
clared themselves against suffrage.
But these declarations are only per-
sonal opinions of the men uttering
them, and when they spoke they did
not mean to convey the impression
that they were declaring Catholic
doctrine on this point. nor did they
ever intend that their words should
be understood as command to Cath
olics to oppose woman suffrage.
When people attempt to prove
from private opinions of prominent
Catholic clergymen that the church
condemns this movement they are
forced TO gloss over or they entirely
omit to mention opinions of cardinals.
bishops, priests and other prominent
Catholics who are strongly in favor
OF equal franchise.
I'm the problem of equal franchise
there is nothing contrary to Catholic
doctrine. 1t is political movement,
and Catholics are absolutely free to
act as they choose, without let or hin
drance from ecclesiastical authority.
Women have the same right to say
how this world of ours shall be gov
erned as men have. Neither man nor
woman has an inherent right to vote
or rule, but obtain this right by hav-
ing the necessary qualifications. Both
have by nature equal faculties and
ability to vote or rule; they have the
same intelligence, and II there is any
advantage anywhere between the
sexes, II is on the womans side. as
the majority of women have a higher
standard of morality than men, and
this influence for good will be more
quickly exerted by the women when
required than by the men, just be-
cause Of their higher principles Of
life"

Liquor Cases to be Re=Argued

What are known as the West
Virginia liquor cases" have been
set by the United States Supreme
Court for re- argument January
3, 1916. On the court docket
these cases are Nos. 383 and 384
and arc styled % The James
Clark Distiling company, appel
liant, vs.. The Western Maryland
Railroad company ct al, and ~
The James Clark Distilling COM
pany, appellant, VS.. The Ameri-
can Express company ct al. The
original of the suits was caused
by the refusal of the defendants
to accept shipments of liquor in
Maryland destined for points in
West Virginia. The fact that
a second argument was called
for by the court has created the
belief that the court is divided.
Fred y. Blue, prohibition COM
missioner for West Virginia. will
again argue in support of the
defendants side, the state of
West Virginia being a party to
the suits.
