DOWN IN GEORGIA.

DO"u Ill NtOISld TIC CdtllOllC
Laymen' Association is doing
woman service for the Church
under the guidance Of that splen-
did old warrior, Bishop Kelley Of
Savannah. Several years ago an
organization, formed of laymen
and controlled by them, but d.
rected by Bishop Kelley, was
founded with the purpose of dis
sipating religious ignorance
among their fellow citizens. The
doctrines Of the Catholic Church
were explained in a clear, intelli-
gent and always kindly spirit.
Pamphlets were sent broadcast,
and a perceptible change has come
over the press of that state owing
to the activities Of these men who
go to the heart Of things without
red tape or fear.
Now the organization has ex-
banded and has issued the first
number Of a magazine which will
carry on the same work. With
practical insight the officers Of
the society have appealed for help
to the Catholics of the various
cities of the state. The response
may be judged from a few figures.
A request for funds to spread a
knowledge Of our holy faith free
among the people resulted in the
following contributions: Atlanta,
$4,000; Savannah, $500; Column
bus (Georgia), $4,000. Many
other cities gave from $1,000 to
$4,000. Thus the work has been
placed upon a solid basis, and it
is impossible to estimate the vast
amount of good that will accrue
to Church and state from the eff
forts Of these jealous men.
It is rather pitiful to see the
puny attempts made here and
there by similar organizations in
larger fields and with greater po-
tential resources. Our laymen
generally are woefully lacking in
the active works of the faith
where there is question Of defend
ing or of spreading a knowledge
Of our holy religion in those quar-
tiers seldom reached by clerical
effort. When an attack is made
upon our Church from platform
or press rarely does a layman-or
any body of laymen-bestir him
self to refute the charge 1t is left
to the clergy; whereas frequently
a defense coming from lay sources
would have much more telling
effect. But our laymen are timid
very often they fear loss of bust
ness or social standing. In a
bigoted center like Georgia, there
fore, all the more praise is due
the intrepid men who fear not to
come out in the open and defend
the faith in the face Of unreason-
able and traditional hatred. And
the Church in that southern state
is growing stronger, owing chiefly
to the initiative and vigor mani
tested by the Laymen's Associa-
ton.

people indulge themselves.

| revenue system that is greatly need
ed. and it is one of the constructive
measures called for by the country
Those who feel that Congress has
not been able to enact legislation ia
place our country and the whole world
on an even keel must remember that
never in all history has the worlds
boat been rocked so hard by war,
famine and industrial disturbances.
After every war, it has taken pa
thence, time, wisdom and much care
to bring about normal conditions. The
tremendous war storm which has just
passed has left great problems on our
hands, and while wholesome laws
have advanced better industrial and
social conditions, actual readjustment
must come from the people them
selves, and those who believe in our
form of government will never doubt
that the people can meet and correct
~ solve every problem.
Filming a Syracuse clothier $4,000
for profteering will have more
wholesome affect on H. G.. l.. highway
men than all laws that Congress
could pass on the subject. Law en-
forcement rather than more laws will
help reach the situation. While look
ing for causes of high cost of living,
the writer noted last week that Dis
trict automobile numbers reaching ov-
er $4,000 now appear on the streets
of Washington, city of about 400,-
900 people, while in some blocks
practically every other store is
repair shop or tire establishment.
Money spent in Washington for au-
tomobiles would maintain our state
University and State Government.
In closing these weekly letters I'M
til the December session, let me
again express appreciation to those

them of sufficient value to use. News

to the District and to matters of local
interest or of general legislation.
Sometimes committee sessions and
other demands have prevented giving
careful consideration to the subject
matter sent, but letters have gone
regularly and / believe people. gen.
erously accept them in the spirit in
which they are sent. During the va
cation, after a brief breathing spell,

greater length, some of the problems
referred to in the letters.

Our Weekly Letter
From Washington
BY James A. Frear, NJ. c.


No body OF students ever closed
their books and got beyond the sound
of the bell more quickly than Mem
bers of Congress when they heard the
gavel fall last Saturday night. Since
the beginning of the European war
in 1914 increasing problems have
kept Congress in constant session
until after our own entry into the war
in 1917 when work became steady
grind. Reference in these letters
has been made to many Senators and
Representative who have died or
broke down during the last three
years. At times the strain has been
hard, physically as well as mentally.
Those on heavy working committees
have longed for recess and Con-
gresham Esch, one of these, describ
ed the situation when he said that
prior to ten years ago, sessions were
short and enabled Members to return
to their constituents for months every
year, but in recent years they have
been kept on the job continuously
during the twelve months. A large
amount of legislation was agreed to
during the closing days when night
sessions reached toward midnight and
IL to IS hours work in committee
and House was not unusual for many
members. During the closing hours,
bills like the Postoffice increase bill,
army reorganization, important ap-
preparation bills and other measures
of large moment were agreed to.
An important proposed change will
be brought about by bill passed
toward the close that relates to a new
budget bill which was passed after
hard fight by vote of 1873 to 1856.
The change provides for single ap-
preparation committee. For several
years the writer has repeatedly spok-
en- against and criticized wasteful
methods of appropriation and has
urged budget bill insisting that it
is the only way to prevent pork barrel
bills and save time and money. Bills
were passed several weeks ago re-
curing better departmental estimates
but a resolution embodying many of
the features of bills which | intro
duced two years ago was passed dur
ing the closing days, and should
bring about needed reform in legis-
lative methods. A joint legislative
budget committee provided in my
resolution would be the best solu-
ton of the problem, but long step
forward has been attained by the
budget resolution passed last week.
Remembering that Congress conf
prises over 500 members, SO of whom
are in the Senate, important legls-
lation is ground out after scrutiny by
different committees and by 'bcsh
Houses. Over 10000 bills are intro
duced every session; many relate to
the same subject. Committees try to
combine the most important features
into one bill when passing laws and
by that legislative machinery measur-
es effecting soldiers and sailors of the
last war and comprehensive army and
navy reorganization; bills effecting
labor. railroads and an infinite varie-
ty of subjects have been before Con-
gress, many of which have been en-
acted into law. The Ways and Means
Committee will be called upon next
session to prepare new peace time

 veeck said the National League committee is awaiting the appoint ment of a committee from the Am erican League to discuss the pro posed changes in the. rules.
