Catholic Appoints Methodist
MAYOR HYLAN NAMES NEW CON-
MISSIONER OF CHARITIES.

Mayor Hylan Of New York has ap-
pointed Mr.. Bird S. Coler commits
sioner of charities to succeed Mr..
John A. Kingsbury, who, during May
or Mitchel's administration, started
the odieus charities investigation.
Mr.. Coler, who is a Methodist, has
repeatedly expressed his appreciation
of the efficiency work accomplished
by Catholic institutions, and the lat
ter are assured a square deal during
his term in, office. The passing from
office of Mr.. Kingsburyi eyokes recol-
lections, still fresh, of the great char
titles controversy in New York City,
which began in the spring Of 1916 and
finally ended in the month of Sep
tember of that same year to the dis
grace of the accusers.

save by sufferance, without revenues,
it began for a second time the work
of reconstructing it's system and or
ganiZation. During the long period of
control by Porfirio DiaZ the Church
slowly but surely grew and prospered,
and it's influence for good among the
poorer classes especially, in central
and southern Mexico, was most
marked.
During the time of my service in
Mexico / cannot recall single in
stance of interference in the politics
of the country by the Roman Cath
Ollie Church. There was, it is true, a
Roman Catholic political party, but it
was not formidable nor well organized.
Naturally, the clergy favored this or
ganization, but not actively. As rule,
the Roman Catholic clergy of Mexico
were quite content if they were left
alone and permitted to peaceably pur-
sue their religious duties.
The Madero administration was
hostile to the Roman Catholic Church,
though | believe there was no persecu-
ton by the government during his
time. The present Carranza govern
ment, inheriting all of the evil and
none of the good of the Madero adj
ministration, has opened pitiless war
on the Roman Catholic Church which
amounts to a practical denial of the
practice of religious liberty. So far as
my observation goes, the Roman Cath
olic Church in Mexico desires nothing
more than religious liberty and equal
ity before the law"
