A ROMAN IMPROVEMENT
FAMOUS IOGGIA PAPALE" is
NOW BEING RESTORED.

Over the portico of the basilica of
ST. Mark is now being restored the
'Loggia Papale,' bricked up and hid
den for so many years-a spacious
balcony with three arches, honored
with the presence Of more than one
Pope in medieval times.
The process has been made posi-
bic by the passing of the Palazzo di
Venezia into the possession of Italy.
The palace is Immediately behind the
basilica and is connected with it di-
rectly-in fact, the Austrian Ambassa-
dor had made of the old ''Loggia
Papale' an apartment with kitchen
for embassy attendants. A good deal
more remains to be done, for the
opening up of the "Loggia Papale"
leads to communication between the
Palazzo and the Palazzetto di Vene-
zia, the latter having been removed
some years ago from its old position,
where it blocked the view of the
enormous Victor Emmanuel monu-
ment The removing of the blocking
masonry will also bring more into
view the characteristic campanile OF
the basilica.

THE PRIZES IN OPEN COM
PETITION FOR BEST COMPOST
TloNS ON PATRIOTIC THEME.

Some time during December the
Davis National Bank of Piedmont,
w. Va, placed a number of handsome
calendars in the school buildings in
that vicinity, offering three prizes for
the best essay written by any grade
pupil of the schools on the subject of
Henry Mosler's famous painting, "The
Stars and Stripes Forever
Thirty-nine pupils of the Piedmont,
Luke and Beryl public schools and st.
Peters parochial school of Western
port, Nd, handed in essays on the sub
ject. The name Of the writer did not
appear on the essay, but instead some
identifying mark was placed on the
same. The name of the writer was
in a sealed envelope. which was not
opened until the return of the papers
by the Judge, Professor j. w. Stay
man, principal of the preparatory
school at Keyser. We publish here
with Professor Staymans letter an
nouncing the result OF the examination

Special provision will be made for
the recreation and entertainment of
the students. Dubuque is famed for
the beauty of its scenery, and num-
Der Of tours will be organized to
enable out-Of-toWn students to visit
points OF interest. One of the fca-
lures will be a boat ride, affording
strangers an opportunity to view the
scenery along the Mississippi.
A fee of fifteen dollars will be
charged for either term. Students
taking both terms will be charged
twenty-five dollars. Board and room
may be procured at reasonable rates.
To satisfy the demand made by
many of the teaching communities for
a summer session for degree work, it
seems quite certain that six weeks
course will be conducted at Loras
Hall and the new Science Building.
The work will be in charge of mem
bers of the Dubuque College faculty
assisted by a number of University
professors.

LIBERTY OF TEACHING
VICAR-GENERAL OF ARCHDlO-
cESE OF MEXICO ATTACKS THE
NEW EDUCATIONAL MEASURE.

Copies Of statement given out by
Canon Antonio de ]. Paredes, Vicar
General of the Archdiocese of Mexico,
giving the attitude of the Catholic
Church in. regard TO Article 3 of the
new Mexican constitution, have been
received in the United States. He says
in part:
Liberty of teaching should be with
in the liberal criterion that proclalms
the free vent of thought without any
other restriction, to my Judgment,
than the due respect given to morals
and public peace. Therefore it is not
conceivable that the legislation Of a
free country should be opposed to the
liberty of teaching, when liberty is
proclaimed on all sides and it is
wished that the people should enjoy it
equally What the constitutional con-
gross approved is not in accordance
with the criterion that gave birth to
it, as it's work in this particular is not
in accordance with the liberal ideas
of the actual government, addicted to
all the rights of men and ready to
guarantee them.
4 believe that the Protestant
school, the Positivist school, ETC.,
should be established right in front
of the Catholic school, in such a way
that the struggle will be OF faith
against faith, of doctrine AGAINST doc
trine, Of school against school, but not
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-03-17

that a law avoiding an intellectual
and profitable struggle should re-
strain the liberty Of conscience and of
thought.
Education is derived from freedom
OF conscience and therefore we cannot
restrain the former without touching
the latter. The restrictions brought
on by this amendment do not certain
~ affect the Catholics alone, but all
religious sects as well, and consequent
ly do not pretend to defend the Cath
olics, but defend consciences; the said
ruling does not strike cults, but con
sciences.
1T is obvious that once this law is
promulgated, we Catholics will obey
strictly its command, about teaching;
1t would not be honest nor patriotic
to act in any other way"

WAR ON FILTHY FILMS
'sTHE BILLBOARD" TO WAR ON
INDECENCY - WHY THE LOW
SEIZURE FILM is TOLERATED.

The Billboard, one of the most in
fluential theatrical newspapers in the
country, has entered the campaign
against the low motion picture. 1t is
going TO war on the National Associa-
ton Of the Motion Picture Industry,
which it holds responsible for cOndi-
tions aud which it claims has the
power to correct them. The follow
ing excerpts from the article in the
February issue, quoted by Church
Progress, form the opening gun in the
Billboard's warfare:
What is the matter with the motion
picture game?
Why, when the country is enjoying
one Of the greatest booms it ever
knew, is this great industry >palsied
and tottering to it's fall?
Primarily because there are far too
many little men il the business and
because little men always lack conyic-
lions and the courage Of them. They
got in in the beginning before big men
suspected it's vast and far-reachinG
possibilities.
Then, as little men with narrow
minds might be expected to do, they
drew in after them as their chief aids
and first lieutenants men that they
could dominate and handle, and this
resulted in clogging the industry with
a still larger percentage of mental
wops.
And thus the men next in line OF
promotion, the men who ultimately
will slip into the shoes of the present
small, square pegs in big round holes
are even smaller, shorter and perhaps
triangular
That's the answer. And it comes
very near being the whole answer.
That is why the browning, colossal
| fatheaded, blind blunder of them all
| the low, dirty, filthy SEIZURE film is
| tolerated. There would never have
been any chaperone and children-un
| der-age trouble but for it. 1t has
caused every case of license revoca
ton.
| We have determined that something
must be done about it. We can not
dislodge or throw out the fishheads
| Nor can anyone else. But we can at
tend to the libidinous picture.
| With the aid and support of the few
but big men in the business we pro
pose to fight every low, lewd and sug
gestiye film that is produced from nov
on We are going to fight tooth aIlt
nail.

TRIBUTE TO IRISH

During the debate in the Senate on
the immigration Bill, Senator Reid of
Missouri paid this glowing tribute to
the Irish immigrants of few genera
tions ago:
There was time, sirs," he said,
lin this country when the American
aristocrat' sneered at the Irish who
were coming to our land. The Ameri-
can aristocrat pointed to the fact that
the Irish immigrants were priest
ridden and Pope driven, the same mis-
cradle cry that is to a large extent
today responsible for this bill. 1t was
charged that they were ignorant, and
to a large extent they were, although
only century or two back of that
time the Irish had been better edu-
Gated than the English; but English
oppression had destroyed Irish oppor-
tunity.
They pointed to the fact that when
these Irish came to our country they
came poor; clad in tatters; that they
crowded into tenements, ten, fifteen
tliLd CNG1ty living III d IOUul. 4 hey
declared that these Irish were the
lazzaroni of the earth; that they
would pollute our civilization. Yet
what happened, sir? The Irishman
took his pick and shovel and went on
to the the railroad. He worked at
anything he could get and in a little
while the Irishman was living in
little cottage Of his own; in a little
while his children were in the schools;
in little while the Irishman, with
his pick, had become the manager OF
the railroad; in a little while you
heard his eloquent voice ring out in
the forums of debate; you heard the
magic and music of Irish poetry; you
saw the mystery of Irish genius trans
formed to the deathless canvas.
You find the Irish today as good
in blood, as good in Drawn, as ex-
allied in soul, as aspiring as the peo-
pie of any race. They have passed
in the test of life those who stood
sneering at them as they came.

Cats "Honors" Washington
INVITES EX-PRlEST AND Ex-NUN
TO OCCUPY SPEAKERS PLAT
FORM WITH HIM.

Sidney J. Cats, eX-Baptist minister,
anti-Catholic lecturer, and governor
of Florida, was the principal speaker
at the Washington birthday exercises
held in DuVal County armory, Jack
eonvilIe, Fla. The ceremonies were
held under the auspices of a number
OF Jacksonville citizens" He eXtOlled
the Father of His Country, urged par
cntS never to punish their children
when they told the truth, and Incl
dentally took his Wontcd fling at the
Catholic Church Before beginning
his address, he inquired if DR.. and
Mary Slattery were in the audience,
and upon learning that they were, in
Vited them to places of honor beside
hm-the chief executive of the state
on the stage.
The Slatterys have been engaged
in carrying on campaign of calumny
against the Catholic Church. During
the week they had been loudly adver-
tised throughout the city. DR.. Joseph
Slattery, the eX-priest, and Dir. Mary
Slattery, the eX-nun, gave lectures at
red-hot meetings in churches and pub
lie buildings in the city. Governor
Cats public invitation to seats of
honor on the platform from which he
was to make q memorial address, was
nothing less than a public confirma-
ton and a personal endorsement Of
their vilIifying campaign. And Flori-
da looked on and acquiesced.

TIES PLAN.

Cardinal Farley has warned the
Catholic clergy of New York that
Commissioner of Charities Kings
bury's plan of placing children in pri-
yate families would "smuggle them
out of the Church.
In letter which has reached the
pastor of every church in the city he
urges that steps should be taken at
once to fight this menace.
Commissioner Kingsbury had an
nounced that where practicable he
would place dependent children in
private families instead OF commit
ting them to charitable institutions.
Cardinal Farleys letter reads:
