Catholic Bazaar a Big Success.

The Catholic Bazaar held at Stey-

Thursday was a decided success,
about $500 being cleared on the two
days program. The suppers served
both evenings met with much favor
by those participating, and the la
dies are entitled to much credit for
the fine, appetizing suppers served.
The different booths were all well
patronized, as was the dance Thurs
day night, one of the biggest crowds
ever attending a dance at Steyer's
being in evidence. The promoters
of the bazaar wish to thank all who
assisted in making it such a grand
success.

POPE PAVES WAY
FOR HARMONY
Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One
Vatican invited the flock to pray for "our
country and for all the authorities that
govern it; for his Majesty King Victor
Emmanuel III and the royal family; for
the military and civil authorities of the
diocese
Thanks to the Pope's patriotism, the
most distressing and apparently unsolv
able question. that of the diplomats ac-
credited TO the Vatican, has been solved
In way which will insure for Pope Ben
edlct XIV the eternal gratitude of the ma
ton. In case of war the Pope has Of
fered to ask for the recall of those dlplo-
mats belonging to the nation against
which Italy would be compelled to march.
On its part the Government will permit
the Vatican State Chancellery to COM
municate with the warning nations
through the neutral embassies entrusted
with the protection of Italian interests.
The position In which the Vatican
would find itself in case of Italy's inter-
vention in the war was another of the
difficult questions which required a So
luton satisfactory to both parties. The
Vatican firmly stated that II would not
submit to any restriction OF its freedom
OF communications, and that any act on
the part of the Italian Government to cur
tail It's liberty would be followed by
strong protests to the European Govern
ments.
Now, however. Catholic circles say
that the order. issued to the clergy TO
give their full support to the civil author
tiles and work in harmony with the
government organs justifes the belief
that the foundations for. solution OF
the Roman question have already been
laid
What this solution is is not yet known,
but the impression prevails that a re-
vision OF the guaranty law. which now
governs the relations between the Church
and the State, already has been under
taken. 1t Is believed that the changes
70 be made in the original laws, while de-
inning more accurately the status OF the
HOLY See in Italy. will also increase the
range OF its freedom in its international
relations, thus rendering 1t more inde-
pendent Of outside interference.

JAPAN REASSURES U. s.
ON CHINESE DEMANDS
Ambassador Guthrie Informed
"Open Door" Treaties Are
Being Observed.

WASHINGTON. April ..
Japan has assured the United States,
through Ambassador Guthrie at Toxic,
that she is scrupulously observing all her
existing treaties dealing with China.
This assurance is not an answer to the
American representations asking Japan's
Intentions toward China which is being
considered by the Japanese Cabinet
Because, however. of the intimation that
Japan actually was striking at the "open
door" the Japanese Government decided
to present assurances voluntarily.
Diplomatic circles heard today that
Japan and China are on the point of COM
promising their differences. Japan has
yielded. reports said, on several important
points and the negotiations are said TO
have taken on more hopeful tone
PEKIN, China, April BY making
further concessions the Chinese statesmen
yesterday forestalled the expected ulti-
matum from Japan. They offered to
waive entirely the question of Chinese
jurisdiction over Japanese immigrants in
South Manchuria except in cases involv-
ing land ownership, and Japanese Minis
ter Hioki agreed to submit this PROPOSE
ticn to his Government.
The Japanese represent that they wish
to unity the system OF arms throughout
China, which today Is made up of a med
ley of innumerable patterns; that China
would benefit by an increased number o.
schools and hospitals; and that they are
only asking privileges which other nations
now enjoy.

JONAH STORY TOLD AS
PARABLE, SAYS TYSON
Speaker at Lenten Service in
Theatre Opposes Literal In
depreciation.

Modern Christians are not expected to
believe that Jonah actually lived three
davs in the stomach of whale, as set
forth in the Old Testament. in the opin-
ION of the Rev. Stuart l., Tyson, former
professor OF theology at the University of
the South, who spoke today at the Len
ten service in the Garrick Theatre. The
sneaker held that this was n parable
written to answer a need of the times,
and was chronicled in the form most ac-
ceptable to the mental stature OF the peo-
ple who lived at the time OF the much
disputed incident.
Doctor Tyson took for his text, Put
ali things to the proof and hold fast to
that which Is good" from ST. Paul s
Epistle to the Thessalonians. He said
that the parallels in the Old Testament
should be read in the light of modern
knowledge and lesson drawn from most
of the unusual happenings which are de-
scribed.
He said that God sent Jonah to Nineveh
to demonstrate to the Jews that the Al
mighty desired the salvation OF the Baby
lonians as well as of His chosen people.
The story of Jonah's shipwreck and sub
seouent life for three days within the
whale was simply used by the ancient
chronIcler, Doctor Tyson said, because
that was "the most attractive way to
present It to the people of the times"
''All the parallels in the Old Testa-
ment," he said, "are not TO be believed
literally. Lessons must be drawn from
them and the truth separated from the
parablc. Just as a man who had received
a basket OF fruit would eat the fruit and
not the basket, so Christians should read
the Bible"

An Impossible Scheme.

The latest crazy scheme devised by
some rattle Drained legislator is to
make newspapers take out licenses
and TO provide for the revoking Of
these licenses when newspapers are
guilty of unethical acts, The scheme
is merely the Russian rtess censor
ship in disguise,
Aside from the fact that the su
preme court Of the United States in
the recent case wherein the United
States government sought to get judg'
meut for libel against the Press Pub
fishing company, publishing the New

ton OF certain news stories in regard
TO the Panama canal deal. pronounced
in strong language against restric.
tions on newspapers as vi0latiye OF
the constitutional guaranty OF Tree
press. the people Of this country
would doubtless think a long time be
for they endorse a bureau of Licenses
fer newspapers.
There would undoubtedly be found
many persons who would heartily Ia
vor such scheme, Every dishonest

cry criminal would be delighted tC
have the press muzzlod through th'

fellow man in the face, every man who
! seeks to hide some personal dishon-
esty or case of moral turpitude, would
welcome such a cog on the newspa-
pers.
This is not to say that the persons
who advocate such methods have any
but the best intentions But they
fail to realize the power for good that
the white light Of publicity of the
press has done and is doing for this
country.
Every great battle for political lib
erty; every overthrow of corrupt gov
erEment; the punishment of great
many criminals; the successful prose
cution Of great many reforms, has
been materially aided in some cases
entirely broubht about by the enter
prise and courage of the newspapers.
Imagine bureau of license, if you
will Whom would you have as com
missioner of licenses or commission
ers of license? To whom would you
give the tremendous power to say to
The press of the country. This you
shall print and this you must not
print? ~
The moment you inaugurate a bu-
rcau OF licenses you would place the
press in control of politicians and
behind politicians always stands big
business. 1t would be a fine scheme
OF the political bosses II would be
a great scheme for the money kings.
While 1t may be true that some of
cur newspapers are controlled editor
tally, their news columns print the
facts, so the public knows what is
going on and can draw it's own con-
illusions. Licensing of the press will
never come as long as we are a free
people.
