mon concerning it:
One cannot help but feel that the
enforcement of the Virgin Mary has
softened the heart of the world toward
womanhood; that it has done much to
give woman the place of honor she
occupies today; that it has put the
whole Catholic Church behind the
sanctity of the home. In the respect
given to Mary the Roman Church has
paid the worlds finest and most deli
cate compliment to the grace, sweet
ness and beauty of motherhood
Nor do l discover any difficulty in
understanding the basis of the comics.

everywhere in life. The erring child
confesses to its mother, the patient
vonfesses to the physician, the &C.

Professionalism has wasted much OF
its force in forced revivalism, which
would have been unnecessary had we
paid wise attention to religious educa-

existed centuries before there was a

centuries she was the great agency OF

They are Elizabeth Baldwin and

Three American passengers agree
that they saw a torpedo.
II Is estimated that so Of the $50
passengers lost their lives. though
II is possible some were picked up

The Sussex left Folkstone shortly

One OF the Sussex's lifeboats was

a fountain of water dashed over the
side OF the ship.

HOSHAL SHOWS
UP FORD LETTER
"We've Got Them On
the Rum" Says Cam
paign Chief

THAT means we've got them on
the run backwards" said Walter J.
Hoshal. Wayne county dry cam
paign manager, Friday, when shown
a circular letter from Sheridan
Ford, to the ministers of the coun-
ty, beseeching them TO reserve
judgment on prohibition.
The letter begins by calling
Hoshal a villifer. then goes on 10
state that the Anti-Saloon league
seems to be working to the ex-
olusion of clergymen from active
participation in the campaign,
though 1t does not underestimate
the financial support OF congrega-
TONS
To make sue that every minister
will vote wet, Ford adds the state
ment that tht Rt. Rev. Charles ID.
Williams, bishop OF the Episcopal
diocese of Michigan. is ''unalterably
opposed to prohibition"
"Just what effect the letter will
have on the ministers should be-
easy to guess" said Hoshal. Most
of them got Il in the same mail
with their invitations TO compli-
mentary dinner given TO them alone
by the dry campaign committee.
Bishop Williams Is chairman OF the
invitation committee of that ban
quet.
The ministers know they have
been asked TO take an active part
in the campaign. They know, too.
that the state and district superin-
tendents OF the Anti-Saloon league
are ministers. The city campaign
for the drys includes dividing the
city among the ministers, giving
each church a certain territorial re
sponsibility. Is that forcing the
ministers out OF the campaign"
Ford's letter quotes Hoshal as
saying In Detroit weekly that
There is not preacher on the
committee and there won't be any,
either. My method is TO get
big men, strong business men. back
Of the dry movement. Then people
will know that the thing Is not be-
ing run by cranks.'
This Is intended to make the read
er think Hoshal had called the min
listers cranks. But Ford was honest
enough TO use asterisks to show
something had been left out This
is what the asterisks stand for:
The church has got to be the
backbone of the dry movement.
Other than that. Ford's quotation
from Hoshal was correct.
What amuses me more than any
thing else and convinces me we
have them scared" said Hoshal, rs
that while they are sending letters
TO the ministers, warning them
against the business men. they are
also warning the business men. yer.
bslly. against the ministers"
