well armed and supplied, leaving the
impression that the propaganda had
taken all resistance out of that part
of the army.
The news of the attack on Italy
and the news of the appointment of
Hertling came so close together that,
politically, they can easily be viewed
as simultaneous events, just as the
appointment of Gerlach as private
chamberlain to the pope, now con-
victed intriguer against the allies be-
came effective simultaneous with
ltaly's entree into the war.
AS remarked in the editorial re-
produced in column seven, this page,
Of this issue, the vatican and the
higher-ups in Rome can be viewed as
apart from the laity, thus far, there
is the distinction that the higher-ups
do the planning, the scheming and the
executing. The lay Catholic has
nothing to do with directing the pol
icy Of the vatican, his duty Is to obey
that policy and when he fails he
ceases to be good Catholic. The
situation can be readily understood
by looking at recent happenings in
Massachusetts where Cardinal 0'Con-
nell, the supreme authority in the
archdiocese of Boston, commanded
that Catholics vote against the anti
aid amendment and then condemned
all who did not do so when the cleo
ton showed it had been carried; even
going to the extent of denouncing
papal politicians who opposed it and
promising to administer political an
Inhalation, while prior to election he
had resorted to Roman dogma and
worked on the superstitions Of the
Roman-trained children by declaring
that to fail to oppose said amend
ment would be to commit sin
against the Holy Ghost. (The un-
pardonable SIM.
Of course Rome is not committing
any avoidable indiscretions. In allied
countries she wishes it understood
that she is neutral but we leave the
answer with any person able to ac-
cumulate all the facts and read them.
We do, however, wish to again di.
rect the attention of the reader to
the fact that the Bavarian premier,
now imperial chancellor, declared for
the restoration of the papal states,
and that the Catholic press has de-
clared for the same policy.
Suppose the Catholic press should
do the same in this country, saying,
"the United States might yet be
privileged to restore the temporal
state to the pope; suppose too, that
some Roman Catholic prominent in
politics should declare in favor of
the same program and then Presi-
dent Wilson should bestow on him
the highest Office he could possibly
grant, Would you begin to look
for some fire behind such cloud
Of smoke? If such a thing
should happen and the newly-ap-
pointed man live over night, or pro-
tests fail to remove him we might
well conclude that this country is
battling, among other things, for the
restoration of the papal states.
Such a circumstance would be
analogous with the situation in
Germany today. Besides there is
every indication aside from and in
dependent of it to show that the vat
lean and the Austro-G Germans are
walking hand in hand.
The menace., 1917-12-01

sition that the state shall be utterly
divorced from the church and has
been demonstrating the extent to
which his un-American views in this
regard can take a representative of
the papal theory of rule.
He is determined to rule or ruin"
if his attitude and assertions can be
taken at their face value and the
people Of Massachusetts are fast
coming to realize this fact. So over
whelming is the sentiment in favor
Of the anti-sectarian amendment,
and SO shocking to prior opponents
Of the amendment is the cardinals
attitude respecting it that in addi-
ton to the more than $4,000 majority
vote cast for it on Nov. 6, vast num-
bers of the ants have Joined the
ranks of the amendments support
ers; and since the aim of the car
dinal is clearly an intent to override
the will of the people for the benefit
Of the Roman Catholic church they
are determined, should the pope's
representative be able to annul the
amendment in their state, that it
shall become matter, for national
agitation such as shall result in a
similar amendment becoming a part
of the fundamental law of the ma
ton.
Such a program might take equal
ly as long, or longer time to realize
than it has in Massachusetts, but the
benefits would be materially greater
and the cardinals action in Massa>
chusetts affords such excellent cam
paign material, even if no other ar
gument were available, that there
could be no doubt as to the ultimate
outcome.
1t is because they wish to keep the
cardinal from ever being able to even
hope for ultimate striking out of the
amendment that many persons, who
would welcome the opportunity to
provide inspection for religious re-
formatories and all places where peo-
pie are held in so-called voluntary
confinement, are favoring the adop-
ton of clause in the Initiative and
Referendum which will make it inn
possible to submit any question deal
ing with a religious institution or
question.
The wisdom Of paying such a price
in order to assure the security of the
anti-sectarian amendment is mat
ter that might well be called into
question, for it is the opinion of
many that the more the cardinal op-
poses it the more he will make the
Jealous Roman Catholic position on
this matter a stencil in the nostrila
of fundamental democrats. of which
Massachusetts, has q goodly portion.
Such price seems entirely out of
reason to THE MENACE but it can
plainly be seen that no matter which
way the question is settled it is a
