The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-09-25

CATHOLICS AS CITIZENS. In
answer to F. J.. Kelly, Guardian sends
in some lines taken from Pope Leo's
letters that are supposed to cast re-
Elections on Catholics as citizens.
If 1 remember rightly, Mr.. Kelly
said that his father had also stated
that The Day Book was anti-Catho-
lie, while he (KeIy,,Jr.) maintained it
was not. Now comes the queer. part.
To whom did Mr.. Kelly write to find
out? To the pope, bishop or priest?
No, but to Mr.. Cochran, who very
ably explained that he was not anti
Catholic. The point l desire to en-
phasize, is the fact that Mr.. Kelly left
it to the editor to tell him if it was
anti-Catholc, and did not surrender
his freedom, without question, be-
cause some of his co-religionists
have mistaken idea of this little pa
per, where all of US ink-sIingers may
have our say. Which goes to show
that we Catholics may have our pri-
vate opinions about The Day Book,
anyhow. Of the G. of LIS have al
lowed us to retain that privilege.
Now for Pope Leo's letters. "On
page 49," says our Guardian, Pope
Leo writes: Union of minds requires
complete submission and obedience
to the Roman pontiff. Remember
ing that his holiness was referring to
matters of faith or morals, 1 ask,
what about it? Is that not a sound
doctrine? Each individual cannot
possibly have so thorough a knowl-
edge of the bible and scriptures as
men who have made theology their
life's study. So when they make
law we bow to it the same as when
our government settles a dispute be-

court. The chief justice, with all his
associate judges, examines the case,
and then pronOunces Judgment upon
it, and this is final, irreVocable and
practically infaIlible. What would
follow if we had no SUCH court? An:
arehy!
Let no one suppose, however, that
when Catholics profess to believe in
the infallibility of the pope that they
consider him an exhaustive diction-
airy of revealed truth or an inspired
oracle, capable on the moment of
determining questions of faith and
morals.
The pope, before deciding a case,
will call councils, consult bishops and
spend perhaps years in investigation.
Then when he gives an ex-cathedra
(from the chair judgment, we con-
slider it the word of God through the
pope and submit to it. (Obey your
prelates and be subject to them
Heb. xiii, 10
"On Duties as Citizens, page "a,
continues the Guardian, the pope
wrote: What we are bound to be-
ieve, and obliged to do, are laid down
by the pontiff." Guardian tries to-
make it appear that we are to con-
suit the pope in regard to what laws
we are to obey, etc. But let me tell
you, Guardian, that long before Leo
came to the chair of Peter, the
founder of our church told us our
duties as citizens when he said:
Render unto Caesar what belongs
to Caesar" And the church teaches
that very same, doctrine today. We
are taught from childhood to obey
the laws of. our country, and, as a
body, we Catholic Americans are as
patriotic and law-abiding as any 9TH
ers. And 1 thank God we do not try
to stir up trouble in our dear land by
casting lying slurs on our fellow citi-
zens who happen to follow Christ in

Form Of oivere. In Old Rome.

In the earlier period Of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time of
the SULTAN wars In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sepa-
rate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth. priest and priest
esS being present AS on the day of
marriage. q cake Of wheaton Hour was
presented to the husband and wife. but
instead OF sharing 1t between them
they rejected 1t. Then. instead of pray
ers. they pronounced formulas of a
strange. severe. spiteful character. by
which the wife renowned the worship
and gods of the husband. From that
moment the religious bond was broken.
and. the community Of worship having
ceased 10 exist. the marriage without
further ado was forever dissolved.

ATLAS AND HIS LOAD.
Il Was the Heavens, Not the Earth,
the Titan Of Mythology Upheld.


Strictly speaking. atlas is a mis-
homer for a map book. since 1t was
not the world. but the heavens. that
the Atlas Of mythology upheld. Mer
Gator. the famous Dutch geogapher.
who made globes for Emperor Charles
v. of Germany. was the first to use
the name in this connection. choosing
1t as convenient and In some sort un
appropriate title. because Atlas. the
demigod. figures with world upon his
shoulders as frontispiece Of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, 1t was said. made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered. was condemned to bear
heaven upon bis head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as a man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into mountain. upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case. Atlas was always asso-
ciated with a heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester, Thou art no
Atlas for SO great weight"
II Is not difficult to see how by an
association Of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for a book of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
US the whole world.

PUZZLED THE JAPANESE.
The rumuIt . White Weman's Pair Of
Black Gloves Caused.

Black Gloves Caused.
japanese women never wear gloves.
Thousands upon thousands OF Nippon
natives have never seen a pair Of
gloves. One day as an American girl
aud ! were walking through small
village some distance from Tokyo We
were at loss to understand why such
a large crowd gathered around us on
the street.
In a small town an American always
gathers crowd. but this crowd was
particularly thick and excited. and
when the japanese do any looking they
want to do 1t up close. The natives kept
looking at my partner. pointing and
jnbberins away. wildly excited. The
crowd kept getting tighter and tighter.
while with our hands on our noses we
kept trying 10 push out. They kept
pointing at her hands. then at her face.
and not until one Of them reached
over and felt Of her hands did We I'M
derstand what was the matter.
The girl with me had on a pair of
black gloves with the ends under her
sleeves. SO that the excited villagers
were trying to solve the mystery of
how a person could have black hands
and white face. When she drew of
her gloves. revealing hands the same
color as her face. they dIsappointediy
widened enough to let US through.
No doubt II she had not removed her
gloves the legend OF the woman with
the black hands and the white face
that once visited the town would have
been handed down for years.-Homer

TRUE FOSSIL FORESTS.
Yellowstone Parks Array Of Stony
Relics Of Volcano Activity.

Relics Of Volcano ACTIVITY.
Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park. the most remark
able, 1t Is believed. OF the several fossil
forests which have been discovered
there are others In Egypt. In California
and In Acknowledgements IN the Vel
lowstune most of the trees were en-
tombed in their original upright posi-
ton and not found recumbent and seat
tered about the ground
In. Arizona. for instance. the fossil
lied trunks have evidently been car.
ried long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew md where they
are entombed by the outpourins of
various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surroundin.
them are gradually worn AWAY they
are left standing erect on the steep hill
sides. just as they stood when they
were living. In fact. 1t Is difficult nj IL
little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the lichen COW
cred stumps Of kindred living species.
Such an aggregation Of fossil trunks Is
therefore well entitled to be called II
true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed. however.
that these trees still retain their limbs
and similar branches. for the mass OF
volcanic material falling on them strip.
ped them down to bare. upright trunks.

the shade. the Quitonian passes his life
Ia early April or late October.
He escapes the winter. to he sure.
but misses the vernal miracle that re-
deems the higher latitude. But. wheth-
er he feels chilled or baked. he can III
ways turn his eye toward comfort.
Out across the plain. about three
miles to the north. the road drops 5000
feet through stupendOus ravine. and
from the high places of Quito one can
peer down into semitropical valley.
it's coffee trees and cane fields dancing
In the heat waves.
On the other hand. when the over
head sun scorches there nre score OF
snow peaks to refresh the eye. AZ you
study through feldglass the huge
drifts and wild snowstorms on Anti
sana. which looks out over the rank
forests of the "Oriente." you realize
that It Is easier and safer to get from
where you are to Greenland than to
reach those polar solitudes only n dozen
miles way.
Groves of eucalyptus in the environs
Of Quito agreeably relieve the majesty
Of the scenery. and 1t is said that this
province has a third Of million OF
these trees. President Moreno intro
dnced them from Australia half cen.
fury ago. and it was a saying among
even the enemies of Moreno that on the
day of Judgment he will escape the
penalty Of his misdeeds with the plea
II gave Ecuador the eucalyptus."-
