the State and the Roman church both
claiming the right to 'legislate, judge
and punish, with the further neces-
sary right to protect" itself as by
law made and provided Cleo XIII.
died in 1909.
In 1854 Pope Plus TX. declared in
his syllabus of errors prop. 53),
that "she (the Roman church, has
the right to uphold the laws of re-
nglous orders as against civil author
ity; the right to deprive the latter Of
power TO AID ANY WHO, after hav-
ing taken VOWS, SHOULD SEEK TO
ESCAPE from monasteries or nun
neries; and the right to prevent it
from taking the houses, churches, or
funds Of religious orders under sec
ular management.
Leo XIII, 421 (supra), declares
they claim rightly to be responsible
to the church alone: The rulers of
the State accordingly have no rights
over them, nor can they claim any
share In their control.
Hence arises a conflict for SUI
preme jurisdiction over citizens, be-
tween the State and the Roman
Catholic church.
In resisting inspection of it's insti-
tutions in this State it is self-evident
that one Of two propositions is true
viz: The Roman church seeks to
conceal what the State has a right
to know, or it is presuming to put
the Divine Right" laws Of a foreign
power above the laws of the State,
n O IN rho tx1 of
the State and abridging her sovereign
right and jurisdiction over citizens.
Leo XIII. further admonishes his
subjects throughout the world, de-
creeing: 'FIf the laws Of the State
are manifestly at variance with the
divine law, containing enactments
hurtful to the church, or conveying
injunctions adverse to the duties i'm
posed by religion, Or if they violate
in the person of the same supreme
Pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ,
then truly to resist becomes a posi-
tive duty; to obey, a crime
We are familiar with the enforce
ment of the centuries-Old marriage
law of the Roman church in Georgia,
in 1908, to the injury Of citizens,
followed by rebellion against the law
of the State: does the State of
Georgia propose to wait until that
church attempts to enforce upon us
or our posterity it's stoutly-main-
tanned right to use FORCE to COM
pei obedience to papal law, before de-
termining once for all which law shall
be supreme Vatican or State?
Nothing is to be gained by tenn
porizing - therefore the following
amendments are respectfully sug-
gested:
Sec. -. register Of all inmates
of religious, semi-religious or penal
institutions shall be furnished the
ordinary of the county wherein sucn
institutions are located, stating the

Saturday, October rs, 1917

The Liberty Loan campaign Is
half over, and barely one-fifth of the
amount which the people in this dis
trict are expected to apply for has
been subscribed. In other districts
the response has been even less en-
thusiastic. Reading merely the sta
tistical record, without consideration
cf previous experience, the showing
thus far appears therefore to be
highly unfavorahle. But, while it
would be difficult to overestimate the
magnitude of the task which CON
front those who are in charge of the
campaign, the outlook for the loans
success is by no means as gloomy
as the mere figures suggest. 1t will
lie recalled that much the same con-
ditions obtained through the early
stages of the first campaign. The
loan was received with what seemed
to be appalling apathy, and even a
very short time before the books
were closed the situation looked de-
cdedly dubious. In fact, only five
days before the ending Of the cam
paign, members of the committee in
this district expressed grave doubt
as TO whether or not the issue would
be fully subscribed. Then, as the
cumulative effects of the campaign
began to be felt, an eleventh-hour
wave of enthusiasm swept over the
country and the result was a huge
oversubscription. 1t is not improb-
able that much the same thing will
happen this time. This campaign
is even more intense than was the
previous one, and the people now
have better understanding of what
the war means TO each of us. Never
theless. it is apparent that a salts
factory total can be rolled up only
Lv the most strenuous work right up
20 the last moment. Every one in
the country who can possibly buy a
bond must be made to realize tina,
there is no excuse for failure to do
so. and that the man who refuses to
take his share-and that means the
maximum amount his means Will
permits a Stacker.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Exchange OH the neutral countries Of
l'Northern Europe continued TO display
strength during the past week. Dutch
guilders were the principal feature, eX-
change on Holland rising TO 45'9 cents
for cable transfers, "A new high record
for the current movement and an adj
vance Of 3i3 cents over a week ago.
This advance was due 10 the scarcity
of guilder exchange, which has been
occasioned by the enforcement of the
United States and British embargoes
on exports 10 neutral countries. Sean
dinavian rates were strong again, with
Stockholm crowns ruling at 3Ii2 cents.
English and French exchange rates
moved narrowly, being maintained
firmly al the so-called peg levels.
Most Of the business done in sterling
took the form Of cable transfers. Rus
sian rubles were steady at 1917 cents.
"The London Ststist," in discussing the
recent depreciation in the exchange
value Of the ruble, says:
"A more important spectscula lar hnan-
cial event has been the quotation in the
foreign exchange market OF the ruple
nj 430 to $40. This depreciation Of the
Russian currency was FAR greater than
any one had thought likely, even be
fore the Russian government some
weeks ago took special steps TO prevent
speculation in exchange. Il will be in
terestinE 10 know in detail how the
protective measures Of the government
have been thwartcd. The advance In
the rate could be regarded only as
panicky. and already the quotation has
dropped back to the mean OF 2s5, with
business reported as low as 275. The
ruble exchange cannot certainly be re-
garded as any true criterion OF Russian
credit. and the wild fluctuations in the
exchange have not reduced the value Of
Russian credit bills m the discount
market, which are still negotiable at
4l5 per cent; that is 10 say, at only -
per cent above the price commanded by
british government paper

with S2S,722,559 in 1916. After de-
ducting s23,759,25i for dividends, COM

Total operating revenues of the Bell

The September report of the An
thracite Bureau Of Information
shows clearly that the fixing OF
prices for anthracite coal had no ad-
verse effect upon production. Sep
tember shipments amounted to
6,372,756 tons, compared with 5,544,-
O76 tons in the corresponding month
last year, an increase of 82s,68O
tons. The tonnage was only 676,261
below the largest months shipments
of record, which is the more remark
able because there were only twen-
tv-four working days in September.
Shipments for the first nine months
Of the year indicate an increase Of
about IS per cent over a like period
in 1916 in anthracite production.
