BY THE FRONT DOOR

n NEW York Judge has ruled
.d that a baby living at an
apartment house has a
perfect right to come in by the
front door. 1t is not necessary
for her to enter via the base
ment with the laundry, the
vegetables, eggs and milk.
The Judge is right in more
ways than one. In spite of the
worlds progress along lines of
democracy and wisdom there
is still too much of a distinction
between the front door and the
back door. 1t embraces other
subjects than the baby question
but the matter is too compli.

THE CHURCH in YUCATAN
PERSECUTION GOING ON THERE
IN SPITE OF DENlALs.

Most Rev. Martin Tritscher Cor
dova, Archbishop of Yucatan, address
ed letter this month to the Out
look, in reply to statements made I'D
an article by Louis Cabrera, in which
he stated that the Carranzistas in Mex.
leo have not prosecuted religion.
Briefly, he makes the following
charges: S'As Archbishop of Yucatan,
Mexico, it is to be presumed that am
acquainted with the recent happenings
in that diocese, although at present
an exile in the hospitable city of Ha'
vana.
"In October of 1914, under the pre-
text that they were foreigners, over
fifty priests were exiled. At the same
time decree was issued, under gov.
ernmentaI authority, abbreyiating in
an arbitrary way all religious acts and
ceremonies. A short time afterwards
] was turned out of my episcopal resi-.
dence, which for more than three hun
dred years has been the peaceful
abode of the Bishops of the diocese.
Since these outrages occurred the
Cathedral of Yucatan, erected in the
sixteenth century as one of the most
artistic edifices in America, has been
taken over by the de facto government
On the 1st of May of this year all the
churches of Merida, which hitherto
had remained unsacked, were one by
one attacked by mob of Carranzistas
who, amid the mocking ringing of the
church bells, marched from church to
church, burning and destroying as
they went. Under the present regime
of Carranzista authority in Yucatan
all educational facilities have been
closed, the buildings and furniture
have been seized, while the Sisters
and lay teachers who conducted then
have been obliged to fee for theil
lives.

THE FOUNDERS OF
THE FAITH IN CANADA
cOMMEMORATED BY A MONU-
MENT AT QUEBEC.

The tercentenary of the establish.
ment of the Faith in Canada was cele-
brated recently by the erection on
the heights of Quebec of monument,
in the form of an ornamental foun-
tain of bronze and granite, bearing
the names, with descriptive scenes, of
the four Recollets who were the first
missionaries to set afoot on Canadian
soil: Father Denys Janet, Father
Jean Dolbeau, Father Joseph LIE
Caron, and Brother Pacificus Duples-
sis. On the apex of the monument is
a magnificent and impressive figure
symbolizing Faith. In her out
stretched right arm is the Cross, in
her left the palm of victory. 1t is a
sublime and significant fact that this
figure should dominate the gateway
to the Northern Realm, and that in
these days of cold materialism an
immense number of people should be
reused to passionate enthusiasm by
the evocation of a purely religious
past.
