had had since Monroe. He had the man

set with the aggressive faction In the
south. Under its counsels Pierce not
only surrendered to the ambitions Of
the slave power for expansion over
the north and west. but also for its
expansion into foreign lands.
Slavery was In It's last throes ev.
erywhere. Great Britain had abolished
It In her West Indian islands. Mexico
had abolished It next door to our own
slave states. Even Spain was tend.
ing toward the freeing Of the slaves in
Cuba when the American ministers to
Great Britain, France and Spain met
In Belgium and issued the "Ostend
manifesto" That shameful document
proclaimed the threat that II the Span
ish government should refuse to sell
Us Cuba we would take the island BY
force,
At the same time congress at home
was repeating the Missouri compro-
mise and wiping out the dead line
against slavery, which had been drawn
a quarter Of century before. This
threw open Kansas to wild scramble
between settlers who wished the new
territory to be free and those who
wished 1t to be slave.
Then and there the Civil war began.

the settlers, who rushed In from Mis-
souri, and other slave states, and set
tiers no less rough In their fighting
who poured in from the free states,
quickly turned that primeval into
BLEEDING Kansas" Rival territorial
governments were set up by the two
factions, and Pierce threw the weight
OF the federal power on the side OF
those who were desperately striving to
create another slave state.
The whole country was drawn Into
the struggle. and the Republican party
sprang into life. At the election In tho

That. however, is only another
way of saying two things: First, that
the democratic leaders were convin-
ced that Governor Cox has a splendid
array Of arguments and handles the
issues skillfully. and second, that be-
cause of a hostile press they fear
the Cox doctrine will not be widely
distributed in California. and that
therefore he may not carry the state.

The marketing Of the product, par

most conditions it is impossible for
the farmer to seek special market

careful to see that the eggs are gath

promptly taken to market. Failure
to do this is responsible for the spoil

looked sheepish and embarrassed.

He said that money now being spent

He contrasted his own nomination

He praised Hiram Johnson as a pro-

voice may be for Harding but not

Judging by the effectiveness Of the

BISHOP COLuARD DEAD
WAS BELOVED BY ENTIRE CATH
OLIC POPULATION OF
SWITZERLAND,

Mgr Placidus Colliard, Bishop of
Lausanne, Switzerland, died in Fri
bourg, February 13. The late Bishop,
who was in his 44th year, was born
at Attalens in the canton of Fribourg.
He was nominated to the See of Lau-
same and Geneva by the Holy See in
November, 1915.
Mgr. COlliard was remarkable for
his great energy, and also for the I'm.
bounded charity he showed toward the
prisoners of war, in whose behalf he
interested himself from the time of his
appointment to the See He was par
ticularly anxious that Catholics should
rise to the need of the times, which
the war and it's aftermath brought to
their very door. In this connection
only a few months ago he appointed
a strong committee of clergy and laity
to investigate social conditions, and
to report to him as to the best way
for Catholics to participate in the
work of social construction.

A BOGUS ORGANIZATION
SOCIETY SENDS OUT MISLEADING
STATEMENTS ON IRELAND.

''The Daughters of Mary Washing
ton," a bogus association, which re-
veals neither identity nor headquar-
ters, has again flooded the mails with
new literature-a pamphlet entitled
Reasons Why America Should Love
Ireland This pamphlet contains
statements intended to mislead the
reader, says the Pittsburgh Observer.
The false statements previously is
sued by the Daughters of Mary Wash
ington have been exposed by Michael
J. O'Brien, historiographer of the
American Irish Historical Society, in
a notable pamphlet, which the National
Bureau of Information circulated, Civ
ing facts and figures of great interest
to those who wish to know the truth.
1t is necessary to again make clear
that the .sub-cellar organization, the
Daughters of Mary Washington y
should not be confused with the bona.
fide organization of Chicago women
bearing the name of Daughters OF
MARTHA Washington" The Daugh
ters of Martha Washington have a re
sponsible board of officers, perma
nent address, and do their work in
true American fashion. The bogus
organization tries to confuse and con
found the good work of the Daughter:

ITALIAN CATHOLICS
POPULAR PARTY FOSTE ERS
UNIONS-INJECTS CATHOLIC
PRINCIPLES.

In circular distributed in Rome
last week the Catholic party, whose
political power seems to continue it's
phenomenal growth, announced a new
program in the country's social and
economic reconstruction. While the
Socialists are struggling for work
ing class triumph through revolution
and the Conservatives for defense
against such movement, the Catho-
lies take a middle ground, having for
their motto the collaboration of all
classes and social justice based on
Christian principles.
The Catholic party recognizes the
worldwide movement on the part of
the workers toward unionism as a
natural reaction against capitalism
and governmental power. 1t approves
such a movement but wants to give to
it not only an economic but also a
moral character.
The circular, therefore, recommends
that members of the Catholic party
throughout Italy help union organiza-
tiOns, but, at the same time, infuse
into them their party's ideals, the
ultimate aim being vast social i'm
provements without recourse to revo-
luton predicted by the Socialists.

PRIESTS NOT GUILTY
WERE DISMISSED ON CHARGE OF
SAYING MASS DURING FLU
EPIDEMIC.

Declaring that the evidence in the
case showed that they were acting in
good faith, that they had always been
law-abiding citizens and, while the
services held on a recent Sunday
were a fact which could not be dis
puted, the violation of the order of the
board of health was done unwittingly,
Judge George B. Graham, Fresno,
Calf, found the Catholic priests who
celebrated the Masses, not guilty.
The charge against the three priests
was maintenance of a public nui-
sance," in alleged violation of the Or
der of the board of health, providing
for the closing of theaters, churches
and places of public gatherings on &C,
count of the presence of the epidemic
of influenza. The three priests who
appeared for judgment were Rev. Lee
J. Foin of St. John Church; Rev. M. c.
Keating Of the Church of Our Lady OF
Victory, and Rev. Edward Molloy OF
St. Alphonsus Church. The clergy
men entered pleas of not guilty, and
it was brought out that they believed
they were acting in good faith and
had the sanction of the city attorney
through indirect sources, to hold the
services.

BISHOP OF SIOUX CITY
RIGHT REVEREND EDMOND HEE-
Ian is APPOINTED SUCCESSOR
TO LATE BISHOP GARRIGAN-
OTHER NOMINATIONS.

A dispatch last "Wednesday evening
announced that Right Reverend Ed
mond Heelan has been appointed
Bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, to sue
ceed the late Bishop Garrigan Bish-
op Heelan had been auxiliary to the
late prelate since his consecration
last year. on April s.
Bishop Heelan is a native of linn
erick, Ireland, where he was born
about fifty-three years ago. He was Or
dained for the archdiocese of Du-
buque, which then included the pres
ent diocese of Sioux City. For some
years he was secretary to the Arch
bishop of Dubuque, and then was ap-
pointed pastor of the Church of the
Sacred Heart in Fort Dodge, Iowa, in
1907.
The above dispatch also announced
the appointments of several other
Bishops, but confusion of names
makes it uncertain at this writing as
to the real identity of two of them

Holy Father Speaks on Charity

gladdened heart; indeed with so much
more gladness of heart, since We have
learned from their letter how much
they are infiamed with the bright fire
of Christian charity. Now, since moth
ing is more excellent, and nothing also
more pleasing to Us than this divine
charity, We first Of all must attend to
this work of charity. 1t is necessary
then, and this more now than ever be-
fore, that this charity be widely en-
couraged, to the end that, having en-
tirely eXtinguished hatred among peo-
pes, peace will at length be happily
established in the whole world, to re-
main there through the Reign of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, whilst
we thank the members of the 'COlum-
bia' for their devoted homage, and
whilst we impart to them Our Apos-
tolic BenedictiOn, we pray that as
many as possible, following their eX-
ample, will labor actively in promot-
ing everywhere the spirit of charity;
and furthermore we pray that, accord
ing to their wishes, preachers will,
during the Lenten season, touch upon
the law of charity as often as they
preach, and commend it most zeal
ously. In this wise all those who as
sist at these sermons will seem to
hear ST. John, who when approached in
his old age by his disciples with the
complaining question why he preached
only on charity, answered in words so
worthy Of him: Because it is the COM
mand of the Lord, and if it alone is
observed, it sufIices.'"

REPORT OF OUR MISSION WORK

d complete list Of the various parOchial
ciety at the present time. A great
part of the success of this work is
due to the zeal and energy of these
secretaries who display great activity
by working in harmony with the pro-
moters of the individual bands.
Mission Burses.
Another interesting feature is the
gratifying increase in the number of
mission burses established. AS is
known, burse represents a gift of
one thousand dollars, which being
placed out at interest provides in
perpetuity for the education of a
priest in the foreign missions. Thus
at the end of six years the native
recipient of this burse is ordained to
the holy priesthood and begins to la
Dor among his people, while the inter
est on the burse is then applied to
another student. In the year 1918
five of these burses were founded in
the Diocese, while last year twelve
burses were established. Of this num-
Der four were presented by the follow
ing parishes: st. Eloi, Ghent; st. Ed
wards of MinneOta; st. Barnabas Of
Barry, and the Immaculate Concep-
tiOn of Marysburg. The others were
offerings of individual benefactors.
The Reverend Director notes that
due to the advanced cost of mainte-
nance in the mission fields burse
hereafter will represent the sum Of
$1,000, while a scholarship will be
$3.50, and an annuity $500.
There is a friendly rivalry existing
among the schools to ransom as many
heather infants as possible. The cost
of such ransom is $500 and the report
shows that for the second successive
year ST. Luke's school of st. Paul
gained the highest honors among the
Holy Childhood benefactOrs, the pupils
having paid for the ransom of eighty
heather infants, besides having con-
! tributed the sum of $4,000, which is
the largest total on the Directors
| books.

A ROYAL GUEST
EX-QUEEN NATALIA NOW LIVING
IN CONVENT IN PARIS.

One winters evening, according to
the Paris paper LIE Journal" a lady
dressed in black and heavily veiled
presented herself at the Convent of
Notre Dame de Sionne, Paris, and
asked to be received there among the
paying guests. Il am Queen Natalia,"
she explained to the superioress. Il
would like to live in this house of
prayer and with the Sisters devote
myself to works of charity" Such is
the life of ex-Queen Natalia of Serbia
now. Soon after the assassination Of
her only son and the fall of the dynas-
ty eX-Queen Natalia disappeared from
public life and took up residence in
the Rue Royale at Paris, where she
dedicated her days to the sick work
ingmen of the locality and their chill
dren. She afterwards retired to her
castle near BiarritZ. Growing tired
of the inactive life at Biarritz and op-
pressed by sorrow, she sought home,
as mentioned above, with the Sisters
of Our Lady of Sion.

TIONS MUST BE EXTINQUISHED
BEFORE THERE WILL BE PEACE

The Holy Father sent an autograph
letter to The Columbia,' a society
composed Of American students at the
Catholic University of Fribourg. This
letter was an answer to an account,
which The Columbia gave to the
Holy Father, of festivities held on
Thanksgiving Day, Nov. u, 1919. On
this day a solemn high Mass was Gel
ebrated in honor of Our Blessed Lady,
Queen of Peace, with the intention
that God may speedily reconcile all
nations in the spirit Of the peace OF
Christ. Since the university has a
faculty and student body from many
peoples, the festivities took on an in
ternatiOnal character. In the letter to
the Holy Father, the students cX-
pressed the wish that sermons during
the Lcntcn season might touch, again

APPEALS TO ITALY
MISERY IN AUSTRIA GREATER
THAN DURING THE WAR, CARD
iNAL PIFFL DECLARES.

Cardinal Piff, Archbishop of vi
emma, has addressed an urgent appeal
for aid to the Catholics of Italy.
"Catholic people of Italy, in the
name of God and humanity we turn
to you,' the Cardinal says. Listen
to our cry of distress, you who are not
hungry and cold. During four and
one-half years we endured the misfor-
tune of war, which we did not desire,
but could not bring to an end. Dur
ing the fifth year we had peace, but
our misery is not over. On the con-
trary, it has been augmented without
measure.
I'VE need clothing, shoes and food,
especially milk and fats. We also
need money to purchase what we can
not receive from you. Help us, people
of Italy! Help us soon and abun-
dantly!'
The Holy Father has recently sent
thousands of blankets to the suffering
people of Austria.

B0LSHEWST OUTRAGE
BOLSHEVikI MOLEST CATHOLIC
PRELATE - CROWD PROTECTS
BISHOP FROM INEXPERIENCED
JEWS DECLINE TO BENEFIT,

Ill treatment of a Catholic Bishop
by Bolshevists is reported in foreign
news. The victim was Rt. Rev. Mgr.
DuboWski Of Zytomir, and the episode
occurred after the Bolsheviki had oc.
cupied the city
According to the report, the Bishop
was ordered to read from the pulpit
the DEGREES of the Soviet, and to hand
over church to be turned into a pic
ture house. He was then told to with
draw his students from their semi
nary so that the Jewish Hedera might
be installed there. The Bishop re-
fused, and the Jews, who had been
the place.
Then, it was reported, the Reds
thought of carrying the Bishop off for
forced labor, but a crowd intervened
and saved him. For some time his
house was guarded by relays of people.
Even women lighted braziers in ad-
joining streets and armed themselves
with stones against a surprise attempt
to carry off the Bishop
An attempt was then made on the
prelate's life, it is reported, while he
was celebrating Mass in the cathedral.
A hired assassin is said to have been
involved. He struck the Bishop
blow, but the prelate, after recovering,
saved him from being lynched by the
congregation.
The BOlshevists decided to have
the Bishop arrested by the military,
period of hiding, he was delivered by
the defeat of the Reds by the Ukrain-
ian army under General Wolf.
