New Bishop of Buffalo

Right Rev. Dennis J. Dougherty,
d. d., Bishop Of Jaro, Philippine
Islands, has been transferred to the
Buffalo diocese to succeed the late
Bishop Cotton.
Bishop Dougherty was transferred
to Jaro from the diocese Of Neuva
Segovia in 1908 where he had served
for five years. In this connection
it will be remembered that a demon
stration Of Rome's hatred of Prot
estantism and disrespect for the
Bible, as it is known and loved BY
Protestants, was given in Vigan.
llocos Sur, the principal city Of the
diocese, early in 1914 when several
hundred Bibles were burned in pub
lie by Roman Catholics under the
supervision Of an American friar
by the name of Tompkins.
Though Bishop Dougherty had
been out Of that diocese for some
time it is not at all unlikely that
his residence and influence had pre-
pared the ground for just such a
heather ceremony, and we wonder
how an American city will welcome
a Roman Catholic bishop from a
place where such pagan rites have
so recently been witnessed.
The Philippine Islands have felt
the closing clutch Of Catholicism
for ages. Bishop Dougherty has
been active in those islands for
twelve years or more and has wit
messed If not ordered much Of the
oppression and plumber his church
has visited upon the natives. From
the Bible-burning Philippines to
Buffalo, the home Of Bishop Burt,
is far cry, but there is, perhaps, a
purpose.
Let US hope that none Of the
curiously pernicious practices of
the Roman Catholic church in the
Philippines will follow Dougherty
to Buffalo.

He WAS TALKING ABOUT.
The Roman Catholic church may

game that may come tomorrow, but
deep down under the treacherous
surface Of things the spirit Of the
lnquisition still burns. The de-

aud vicious vengeance when oppor-
tunity arises.
That the Roman Catholic church
is the only institution having au-
thority 10 teach ALL PEOPLE,
Catholic and non-Catholic, is in
sisted by all Official Representatives
Of Rome. Catholics are taught and
believe that the pope is the sole ar
bitter in matters OF faith and morals,
infallible, and 90 be obeyed without
question and without faltering in
all things. All Roman Catholics
are COMMANDED TO place their
children in none but Catholic
schools, and that command was
reiterated, and obedience 10 il urged,
by the Third PlenaD Council at
Baltimore under pain Of "gTieyous
sin"
So Pope Benedict XIV is grieyed
at the "pestilential schools" in
Rome and the same grief and pecy-
ishness is felt toward our public
school system in the United States.
Not being Of and for Rome, they
must either be brought into church
control or be destroyed. No Roman
Catholic can successfully deny that
his church has Interior designs
against the institutions and govern
ment Of this nation.

The Roman Hierarchy succeeded
in bringing before the last congress
so many press-muzzle bills (all of
which were unsureessful) that we

them in ordeB or even by name,

The above is a draft Of House
Bill II. r. i91, the first press-muz-
zle TO be presented to the sixty
fourth Congress, introduced by Rep
resentatiye Siegel, Dec. 8, referred
to the committee on post office and
post roads and ordered 10 b. printed.
Readers Of THE MENACE are
well acquainted with the almost
superhuman efforts Of Roman Cath
olics to get a bill passed last Con-
gress which would give the post
master general power TO exclude
newspapers, magazines, etc, from
the United States mails indiscrimi-
nately.
In course of discussion Of the
various bills Of this nature which
we're presented to the last congress,
il invariably developed that the
Roman Catholic hierarchy was the
guiding spirit behind the measures
and that they were all designed for
the benefit Of THE MENACE, Tom
Watson's publications and others Of
like character.
In the majority of cases the bills
we're actually brought forward BY
Romanists and Knights of Column
bus. In this case we have a differ
ent line up. Representative Siegel,
of New York, is a jew. OF all
strange things, the strangest, it
seems, would be an alliance between
Jews and Roman Catholics. Which
would indicate that the Romanists
have taken advantage of Tom
Watson's stand in the Frank case
to sufficiently poison Siegel and steel
his nerve to the point of champion
ing the above preposterous and ne
farious measure.
The papes know that If they are
the authors Of such measures as the
one proposed by Siegel, the patriot
ic press can more easily see the point
and can oppose them to better ad-
vantage, so they think it wise to
work behind the screens and throw
the fight on the shoulders of a Jew.
Who They Are After
No man who has followed these
fights closely for the past two years
could be in doubt as to what papers
these proposed bills are designed to
"get." Many of the supporters Of
these measures have been frank
enough to name the publications
which they sought to slaughter.
The Catholic press has even let the
cat out Of the bag on numerous oc-
casions. A paper that made the
story particularly plain was The
now defunct but former
ly published at Washington, n. j..
and launched for the purpose Of
fighting The MENACE and secur-
ing its seclusion from the mails.

GOVERNMENT ASKS
 DISMISSAL OF SUIT
PLEA SET UP IN RIGGS BANK CASE THAT COURT HAS NO
 JURISDICTION.
Secretary McAdoo, Comptroller Will Hams and Treasurer Burke Are Charged With Conspirng to Wreck the Bank.

Washington, May 10.-Counsel for the government today filed motions in the district supreme court asking the dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of the suit of the Riggs National Bank against Secretary McAdoo, Comptroll- CT Williams and United States Treas urer Burke, who were charged in the banks complaint with conspiring to wreck that institution.
 The motions marked the first step that the government has formally taken to defend it's officers against the suit. Tomorrow or Wednesday counsel will present to the court af- fidayits and exhibits designed to jus tify the course taken by the officials in instances which formed the basis for the banks charge and it's petition for injunctions.
 Wednesday the case is scheduled to come up in open court. Three mo- tions were made today by the govern ment, one for each official sued. It is declared in each that the complaint
  of the bank is directed at Messrs Me Adoo, Williams and Burke not as indl- yiduals but as officers of the United States, that the government alone is affected by any decree entered in the case and that the suit is therefore one against the United States and beyond the jurisdiction of the court as the government cannot be made a party to such a suit without its consent. The court also is asked to dismiss the suit on the ground that the bank has an adequate remedy at law and not by seeking injunctions in an equity court.
 The motion on behalf of Secretary McAdoo declares that the com plaint Of the bank states no cause of action against rim since he lis not concerned

with and has not power, authority or jurisdiction with respect to the impo- sition by law of penalties or assess ments upon offending banks of which the bank complained
 For Mir. Williams the motion said that the court has no jurisdiction to review the exercise of the discretion lodged by statute with the comptroller concerning the acts which the bank petitioned should be enjoined. It also ayers that the action to enjon him from refusing to make the bank a depository for national funds lis prematurely begun" since he has not made such refusal.

Among the most beautiful of hats the big leghorn never fails to be a strong temptation to the buyer of mil linery As hats go, it is considered expensive; the initial investment re quired is somewhat greater than for some other popular braids But, like the Panama hat. the leghorn is not bought for a single seasons wear Well cared for, a good grade will do duty for several summers.
 There is every opportunity for re modelling and retrimming leghorns this season They are in great de mand and appear in large and small shapes. The big leghorn hat for younger women has few rivals in point of beauty and becomingness, and just now everyone wants one They are woven in the natural straw color and therefore not easily dis colored by sunlight, and they are among the hats that can be cleaned successfully. One of the cleaning methods IS simply that of scrubbing the shape, without getting it very wet, with a heavy suds and with wa ter in which soda has been dissolved. The shape is wiped as dry as pos sible quickly and pressed under clean cloth. This yellows the straw but the color is still beautiful.
 The midsummer hats of leghorn pie tured here suggest successful retrim- ming to anyone who may wish to copy them. At the left large shape is shown with an insert Of heavy lace let in the brim. This is outlined with a fold of velvet. and is a piece Of work which taxes the skill of the mil liner but gives an exquisite result. Black velvet ribbon and half-blown pink roses with dark green foliage are used for trimming.
 At the right a leghorn is shown having the crown covered with black andwhite striped silk and narrow binding of this silk about the edge of the brim. It is trimmed with a crushed collar and knot of white satin ribbon and a big black quill which sweeps across the front.
 The third hat shows a brim faced with pale pink Georgette crepe and ilaring slightly upward at the left There is a wreath and standing spray of roses about the crown.
 Among the new summer models
The Sentinel=record., 1915-05-11

there are brimmed hats having crepe or silk cut to fit the upper brim and stretched over a part of it's width The edge of the silk is finished with a narrow piping and is often cut in shal- low scallops or points. This is an other difficult task for the milliner but solves the problem of covering discolorations on the brim, as bind. ings solve that of frayed brim- edges

SMALL THINGS THAT COUNT
New Method of Lacing a Bodice Up the Back With Velvet Cords
 Hooks and Eyes.

There are so many tricks in the trade of clothes that one sees and tries to remember to pass on Sometimes they interest women more than the important features There is that new method of facing up a frock in the middle of the back. It is done by a velvet cord through large round but tonholes that are heavily overcast. At the end of the cord are short spikes of cut jet.
 The idea was brought out in a black tatfeta afternoon gown, but it has been copied in all kinds of materials. It is especially effective on the bodice that has that new turtle-tail in the back that goes outside the skirt and drops down for a space of five inches. It Is a good feature for linen frocks and one such gown in oyster white is small silver spikes.
 Another new trick in fashions in fastening a gown is the use of immense hooks and eyes covered with ma terial in the same color as the frock, or to contrast with it. These are used in front or back, preferably in front.
 On gown of black silk they are covered with fyAlte satin, and there are white satin collar and cuffs to carry out tIe color scheme. The smart womah who wore this frock completed tie idea by oblong turban of white satin with a jet ornament and white uppers to her black slippers.
