BOARD OF: CENS0RS
NATIONAL BOARD WILL PASS
ALL TRUE PlcTURES-HoRRI-
BILE LACK OF DEcENcY.

The decision of the National Board
of Censorship to o. X. all motion pic
ture scenes, no matter how torrid,
provided, that they represent life
truly, is one that will give the coun-
try much concern. Municipal and
state censors, as well as church fed
erations and individual reformers,
have protested against this ruling. but
in vain.
There are in life, as in nature, many
things which are not fit subjects for
the brush, the chisel or the pen. and
if the decision of the National Board
of Censorship remains in force. the
long screen kiss, which has been par
ticularly, objected to- will be the least
OF multitude of Objectionable fea-
lures presented to the absorbing gaze
OF our young people.
In this country our writer's, paint
ers and sculptors have hitherto as
rule conformed to fair standard of
decency, but we fear that the board
of censors has opened wide a door for
those who in this respect would lower
our ideals by pandering to the baser
part of human nature. 1t is not an
alluring prospect. We hope, at any
rate, that. such real life" scenes as
are to be found in some modern Zola-
esque novels will never be allowed to
find their way, to the moving picture
screen.

funds, would otherwise be deprived

DANGER TO ALL NATIONS SEEN
IN THIS PART OF LEAGUE BY
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. LOUIS
COMPARISON AND EXAMPLES
r FROM OUR OWN HISTORY.

Archbishop Glennon of st, Louis
uses strong language in his arraign-
ment of Article Ten of the proposed
League of Nations. 1t is strong
language that stamps seal OF irrev-
ocable condemnation, coming as it
does not in the heat of debate but
written after calm and careful con-
sideration by great churchman,
leader in the largest religious organ
ization in the world Archbishop Glen
non says: by Article Ten of the
League of Nations seal is set upon
every successful crime committed by
the signatories, including what crimes
NAV be written in the present treaty
of peace. Every act of conquest,
every acre of ground stolen, every
land looted and taken over by the
robber comes now through Article
Ten for the worlds benediction and
approval"
While not professedly acting as
Spokesman for the Church, it is fair
inference that Archbishop Glennon
bespeaks the sentiments of twenty
million American Catholics who gave
more than their share in blood and
wealth to the successful promotion of
the war. The sacrifices of American
Catholics have been too great, their
love of country is too strong to ap-
prove of any treaty. that would impair
American sovereignty, surrender Am
erican right or make their country
party to the crimes. of robber, nations
by guaranteeing their protection in.
the enjoyment of their spoils. Nor
do we agree that never more shall
a free and freedom-loving nation come
to the aid of subject people who
draw the sword in their own behalf.
We cannot condemn as wrong what
we ourselves have done in the cause
of liberty. We will not condemn the
gentle, peace-loying Mckinley for his,
war message in behalf of Cuban lib
erty. Manila, Santiago and San Juan
hill ara too fresh in our memory to
have their glory dimmed by pledge

Archbishop Condemns Article X

that America will never breed an
other Roosevelt or Dewey.
Allied with France in faith, Ameri-
can Catholics have felt a special
pride in their spiritual brothers and
gratitude to the. country that fur
nished aid to the struggling armies
of the Revolution, and we cannot
make impossible in the future the
heroism of a Lafayette or Rocham-
beau. Yet these are what our country
is asked to do by Article Ten.
"If there be still any conquered
land" says Archbishop Glennon, lin
any subject people the hope they may
again be free, the desire to be a nation
again, they are all by Article Ten con-
demned to serfdom and advised that
should they seek relief they will have
arrayed against them the world power
whose armies will move to their de-
struction." This is strong language
but the most ardent advocate of
Article Ten does not deny that it
means exactly what Archbishop Glen
non says. 1t may mean more than
this-a greater humiliation, for our
country. The power of the league is
not limited to the preservation of the
territorial integrity of it's members
against external aggression, but
against ''the threat or danger of such
aggression" May not England con-
strue the resolutions of congress and
legislatures, of monster mass meet
ings in favor of Irish independence,
the public receptions and honors
given President De Valera threat
or danger of aggression against the
territorial integrity of the British
Empire? A protest. from England
that we are not fulfilling our obliga-
tions and the council of the league
may advise on the means by which
American sympathy for a struggling
subject nation may be suppressed.
Acquiescence in even reception of
such advices or it's possibility implies
surrender, of American sovereignty.
s AS Archbishop Glennon says, by
Article Ten the heroisms of history
are condemned and are to be. rendered
henceforth impossible. With it we
must condemn the. sturdy red-blooded
Americanism of Andrew Jackson, Of
Lincoln, Cleveland and Roosevelt.
They were Presidents Of free and
sovereign nation. By Article Ten
they would be made provisional sat-
raps of assuper-nation.s

MINNESOTA BURSE
PARISH ESTABLISHES
RECORD FOR FOREIGN MIS-
sIoNS-PRoPAGATioN OF FAITH
SHOWS HEALTHY GROWTH.

The parishioners of ST. Edward s
Church, Minneota, Mimi, recently
sent to the Diocesan Director of the
Propagation of the Faith the sum of
81 ,060 for the establishment of a
native clergy burse in the. Catholic
foreign missionary field. AS fre.
quently explained in these columns,
a one thousand dollar foundation
bears in interest each year sum
sufficient to provide for the mainte-
nance of native candidate for the
priesthood throughout that year. AS
it requires six years to complete a
course of philosophical and theological
study, the donor, or donors, of burse
supply the church in missionary coun-
tries with a new priest every six
years, and this in perpetuity. The
parish of st. Edward is neither very
old nor very large, indeed it is one
of the younger and smaller parishes
of the Archdiocese of st. Paul. In
consequence it has not been privileged
as yet to see one of it's own boys
ldiSSu " tHc pIICoCiy uISults "
compensate for this lack of representa-
tion in the ranks of Gods ministers,
the Rev. w. J. Stewart, pastor, pro-
posed the establishment of a burse
for the foreign missions. The sug-
gestion met with general approval,
and offerings varying from five to
fifty dollars were made by about sew
enty individuals of the parish
! The Minneota burse is the seventh
to be raised in the Archdiocese with
in the present year, making one burse
for each month thus far. The donor
of burse for the vacation month of
August has not yet revealed himself,
and the Diocesan Director of the
Propagation of the Faith is somewhat
worried over the preservation of the
record of a burse a month.
That all the friends of the missions
have not departed for the lakeside is
seen in the fact that the receipts of
the Propagation Office for the month
Of July reached the sum Of 81, 1851
All offerings for the missions within
che Archdiocese shcald be sent to the
Rev James A Byrnes, st. Paul Sem
mary, st. Paul, Mimi.

"J. CARD. GIBBONS"


"J. CARD. GIBBONS"
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock pom
tifical Mass was celebrated at the
new Cathedral by Right Reverend
Bishop Turner of Buffalo. Music of
the Mass was sung by the Priests
Choir under the direction of Father
Schreck Bishop Shahan of the
Catholic University preached the
sermon, which we publish elsewhere.
Later delegates and visitors re-
paired to the X. of c. clubhouse in
Delaware avenue, where they were
officially welcomed to the city by
Mayor Buck and to the diocese by
Bishop Turner. Reply was made by
Supreme Knight Flaherty.
Supreme Knights Report.
At the opening business session of
the convention, Supreme knight Fla
herty, K. S. c., of Philadelphia, gave
his report. 1t was a comprehensive
document, going into minute detail
and covering the great accomplish
ments of the Knights.
Speaking of the growth of the
order, he said: Between June 80 last
year and July this year, over 125,OO0
Catholic gentlemen joined our, ranks,
bringing the grand total Of member
ship to over 100000. Subsequent
growth has increased this total by
thousands. 1t is particularly
gratifying that large proportion of
this phenomenal growth is in. the
insurance class, approximately $4,000
of the total addition being insurance
members. There lies the test of, the
full appeal of Columbianism to the
Catholic men of those countries where
the order prospers.'
Supreme Knight Flaherty went very.
thoroughly into the war work carried
on by the Knights. Among other
things, he said
I'VE have thrilled with pride
to read of th~ heroic achievements
of our chaplains and secretaries on
the battle fronts overseas. They were,
as the American doughboy has put it,

Yates. Through all the dangers and
difficulties of their service they lived,
every minute of their lives, corscioas
of the responsibility that rested upon
them as the Representatives of this
order and of our entire American
Catholicity. Regardless of creed or
color, they took the consoling word
and the comforting hand to the we'll
and the wounded; they buried the
dead and they sent back to America
mementoes to those who mourned the
dead. They wrought Gods great work
of mercy with the consummate un-
selfshness and the reckless charity
that is the essence of true knighthood.
Some of their number died in the
fulfillment Of their duty. They. We're

the extreme drouth during the grow

cut both as to quantity and quality.
