THE MEXICAN COMMISSION.

1t would have been a gracious
act on the part of Presidents Will
son had he appointed a Catholic
member of the American Commits
sion which is to meet with the
Mexican commissioners in an eff
fort to bring about settlement
of the differences between this
country and the Republic of Mex
leo. The fact that Mexico is a
Catholic country and that the in
terests of the Catholic Church are
inseparably bound up with the
welfare of it's citizens should have
suggested to him the ACCESSIBILITY
Of nominating at least one com
missioner who would be able to
view the situation from the Cath
Ollie stand point and to hel p effect
settlement that would be sat
isfactOry to all concerned and
especially to the citizens Of both
countries who are Of that faith.
We do not know why the Presi-
dent did not do this; but, as a
matter Of fact, all the members OF
the American Commission are non
Catholics. One Of them, DR.. John
R. Mott, is General Secretary of
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation which bars all Catholics
from executive positions in its
ranks because they are not mem
bers of the evangelical churches.
The other members Of the Com
mission are Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary Of the Treasury, and
Judge George Gray Of Delaware.
Our Catholic representatives in
Congress have not said anything
about the matter and, perhaps, it
will not occur to thenf to inquire
why no Catholic was honOred with
commissionership.
We fear that the American
commissioners will not Over-eXert
themselves to safeguard the inter
ests Of the Catholic Church in
Mexico which has been prosecuted
by the de facto President, Car
rama, and the bandit Villa. In
the adjustment of matters be-
tween this country and Mexico
due consideration should be given
to the claims of the Catholic
Church against the so-called con-
stitutionalist party for the plum
der and pillage to which it's sane
tuaries and properties have been
subjected and the outrages in
ficted upon it's priests and relig-
ious. .-..
There is an additional reason
to believe that the Catholic
Church is likely to receive scant
consideration at the hands Of this
joint commission when we remem-
Der that the principal member of
the Mexican Commission is Louis
Cabrera, former Senator Of Mex
leo, who did everything in his
power to disfranchise all Catholic
voters on account of their religion.
He is a tool of Carranza and has
been hand in glove with the
enemies of religion in his own
country. Under these conditions
we can readily realize that little
regard will be paid to the Catho-
lie interests Of the Mexican Re-
public at the hands Of this joint
commission. Again, we repeat,
it would have been a gracious act
on the part of President Wilson
to have nominated a Catholic for
membership on the Commission.

The week Of school openings is
at hand and parents should see
that all children who are of school
age present themselves for enroll
ment i'll their respective schools
on the opening day. We would
not be surprised if the parochial
schools show a larger enrolment
this year than ever before. 1t all
rests with our Catholic people who
owe it to themselves and to their
children to show this mark of APP
probation for the work being. done
by Catholic schools.

of w. c. Steger. He gave a short talk
before the club.
Colorado Springs is not unknown

bile parade there last summer fully
ono-half of all the Oklahoma cars
were from Tulsa.
when we first began inquiring
around the country about the feast
bility of building road up Pixies
Peak we were told by many noted en-
gineers that the plan was not practical
for the reason that the elevation of
lI,lO9 feet would cause an automobile
to lose It's power to such an extent
that 1t could not negotiate the grade
We finally decided TO put the project
across, however, and on August |,
1916. it was completed IL has a

BRITISH CENSOR CRlTlSlzED
London Times says Ncutrals Were
Given Wrong Version of stories.

LONDON. Dec. 16.-(S:25 a, m)-
The British censorship is again taken
to task 10y the Times today on the
ground that several recent important
statements, notably the speeches of
Chancellor Won Bethmann Iollweg
and A. Bonar Law were transmitted in
such fragmentary form as TO convey
an entirely wrong impression as to
their meaning in neutral countries.
The Times singles out as perhaps
the most serious erro the fact the first
version of the German chancellor's
speech declaration as sent out by wire
less represented him as speaking of
prop which the central powers
will bring forward for negotiation
IL points out that the German news
paper version shows distinctly that
the chancellor is not now making pro-
posals, but would do 50 II negotiations
were opened.
