kip TINE CLOSED slap SEASON.

A representative has introduced a
bin for an open season on quail and
prairie chickens in Iowa.
The bill is another effort on the part
of the hunting contingent rather than
the sportsmen Of the state. II should
be given no attention except to de-
feat it,
There are few chickens in the
state. very few. Except in isolated
spots there are no chickens in Iowa,
When the winters are severe some
birds migrate from the north into the
state. Some of them stay TO raise
brood. and under the open season be
killed the coming season.
We can go without such chicken
shooting as Iowa affords very well. II
the FIVE year closed period results in
partial restocking Of the state we can
then make very short shooting sea-
son and perhaps retain sufficient
number Of the birds to furnish little
shooting n the fall and better yet a
sight Of the coveys winging across to
feeding grounds and of small packs IN
winter pleasing sight that has been
long lost 20 the citizens of the state,
A TO quail the closed season should
be made permanent. Sentiment and
sense argue against the killing OF
quail.
We might as well make up our
minds that bird shooting. except ducks
in the fall, is gone from this state. All
our efforts TO recreate bird shooting
for the masses will fail The state has
cultivated the resident wild bird game
out of its boundaries even If the guns
had not slain il.
Keep the doors closed against tne
gunner whose only thought is to
crafty his desire to shoot game until
the last bird has been baesed.

Married Priests.

In the Budapest papers there was
recently quoted a petition from certain
priests addressed to the Hungarian
Church Council assailing the rule OF
celibasy as undemocratic, and demand
ing its abolition. The priests were
quoted as saying that in the future they
intended to marry. All clerics who had
been ousted by the Church as apostates
for having taken wives during the war
must, they insisted. be at once readmit-
ted to the priesthood
This movement seems to be restricted
to limited area, according 10 Rev.
Father Matthias A. Tamasy OF st, Eliz-
abeth's Roman Catholic Church in this
city. the leading organ cation g. It's
communion among local Hunsa7ans'
He said that although he had had &C
cess to no official news on the subject
the Hungarian newspapers indicated
that the question had been raised only
in the diocese of Csanad, in tn province
Of Temesar. which isle southeast or
Budapest. He estimates that the do
cese has about 800 Catholic priests.
What was once the Empire OF Aus
tria- Hungary was almost as complex IN
its religious as in it's racial lie. Many
of the clergy Of the Greek Orthodox
Church within it's former boundaries
have wives and children, for they
are permitted to marry when sub
deacons. This brings up the fact that
the Roman Church even now recognizes
the marriage Of some OF its priests. The
state of celibacy for the clergy was not
at first an integral part OF discipline
of the Christian church, and its adop-
ton by the See of Rome did not take
place until eleven centuries had passed
after the dawn of Christianity.
Although Roman Catholic definition
OF celeibacy is that it is the "renuncia-
tion of marriage made for the more
perfect chastity by all of those who re-
ceive the sacrament of orders in any OF
tho higher grades" celibacy hinges not
so much upon a moral law as upon eX
nediercv. It is considered by many o.
the leading ecolesiastios that II tends
toward a better government OF the
church and gives A greater influence 10
the priesthood.
Among those who hold such view Is
the Rev. Father John J. Wynne, noted
writer on church history. and one OF the
editors OF the Catholic Encyclopedia
He was asked his views on the subject
which has come again to the iore
through the reported developments III
Hungary. Father Wynne expressed the
opinion that unusual conditions arising
from the war and possibly the inf-
hence Of various sects in the sare tor
ritory had much to do with the situa-
| ton.
