The past fifty years have shown
what the Catholic Church and the
Papacy can accomplish under the
stress of persecution and injustice.
The early Popes were forced to
hide in the Catacombs, and the
Church fourished and grew
apace; for seventy long years the
Papacy- was exiled in Avignon,
and religion did not perish; Popes
have been dragged to various
countries from Constantinople to
Paris, and still the old Church up
held the banner of the cross and
defied the fury CT tyrants.
+ Thus, since 1870 the Papacy has
stood forth as the strongest bull
wark of civilization. For the
greatest enemies Of our civiliza-
ton have been Socialism, Atheism,
divorce and all the evils that have
flown from the putrid cesspool of
the Reformation. And it is a fact
known to all that the Papacy in
the past fifty years has been the
only force in the world that has
opposed all of these undermining
influences.
Yes, Canossa is still on the map,
and when Macauley's New Zea-
landers take their stand on the
broken arches Of many a national
bridge to view the scenes of desc
lation around them, the Papacy
will still remain the strongest, the
most enduring force in the world.

ROME AND THE METHODISTS

extend it's hand was the Asino, posi-
bly, the most scurrilous and blasphe-
nous publication to be found any
where; so bad that several countries,
including the United States, refuse it
admission in their mails.
Another Methodist publication, Cen
nj Storici, wrote: universal Metho-
dism has found in Italy the most ex-
cellent opportunity of knowing the
evil arts, the frauds, the frightful eff
ficacy of error, the horrible miracles

or less genuine form of Christianity,

best of all, that if you take the Cath
Ollie Faith away from an Italian you
leave void. Nothing can replace it,
You cannot make him good Protes-
tant, you leave him without any faith
at all. 1t is a queer sort of Christian
ity that de-Christianizes people, queer
er still if it employs bribery for the
purpose.
The first cook had in Rome told
me the story of her boy, sufficiently
! freed from school to have time to
walk abroad with a companion. In
their walks they met American Metho-
| dists, or their Italian allies, who pre-
vailed on them to attend the meetings,
or services, or whatever they might
be called, in the Via VENT Settem-
bre, and gave them franc for each
attendance. The boy went there for
the franc and spent it on ices which
| his mother could not afford to buy
him. Being a good boy, as boys go,
the experience did him no harm-at
least in the way of making him lose
his faith.
Then, there is the old story, for the
literal truth of which I cannot vouch.
! having had it second or third hand, of
| the old woman seen by priest who
knew her well, coming out of the Xxx
Settembre establishment, and explain
ing, it being very cold day, that as
| they gave her a franc and as it was
nice and warm inside, she thought it
would be a most comfortable place to
say her Rosary.
What the American Methodists did
for Mr. Fairbanks and Mr.. Roosevelt
in 1910 will not have passed from the
memory of American Catholics.
No American Catholic needs to be
told that Pope Plus X and Cardinal
Merry del Val not only desired that
the eX-President should have his au-
dience, not only keenly regretted the
cOntretemps, but went to lengths that
some might have thought incautious
in their desire to arrange the audi
ence at the last minute. The success
full trucking of the two distinguished
American statesmen perhaps is the
American Methodists' greatest
achievement in Rome.

Readers of the sensational press
have been made familiar with the
offer Of a western woman to lead
a life of sin for forty-eight hours,
in order that she might be able to
Get funds for her sick and needy

pei professed admiration for the
woman, whose heroic proposal he
compared to Abraham's willing
ness to Stay Isaac in sacrifice.
Comment on either is hardly nee

says about all that needs to be
said when it observes: the wom-
an has no conscience; the minister,
no sense.

METHODIsTs IN ROME INSULT
THE VATICAN-PUT UP POST
Frs REFERRING TO PAPACY
AS TYRANNY-RECAL VALTEL-
LINA-ARE DE-CHRISTIANIZI
MORE PERSONS THAN THEY
CONVERT-THEIR METHODS.
(By N. G.. w. G. News Service.)


"In this fiftieth year of the liberia
ton of Rome from Papal tyranny
there should be celebrated also the
third centenary of the holy massacre
of Valtellina, planned and carried out
by that tyranny. The Italian Metho-
dist Episcopal Church must celebrate
rejoicings over the return of the peo-
pie to the one true God. -"
The foregoing is a quotation from
notice in large letters on the Amer
lean Methodist establishment in the
Via Xxx Settembre Sunday, August Is.
1t is remarkable, in this fiftieth
year since the Italian troops entered
Papal Rome, how quiet Italians are
on the subject; how equally quiet,
though by no means forgetting, are
Italian Catholics, realizing that it is
for the Holy Father to speak if he
thinks wise, for them to follow, and
not wishing to disturb waters which
have become smoother recently.
Scurrious Methodist Methods.
Trundling their barrow of anti-Pa-
pal literature the American Metho
dists came into Rome after the Italian
army in September, 1870. That army
was indeed followed to greater de-
lection of strange riffraff. The Metho-
dists had temporary quarters while
their present home was building.
The "Twentieth of September" street
they would naturally select for their
work of de-Catholicizing Catholics and
attacking the Pope in his own city
For that is their work. Let there be
no mistake about it.
How far the worship of God enters
into their services it is not for Cath.
Ollie writer, with no insight into their
consciences, to say. How far black,
guarding the Catholic faith and the
Pope and deliberate alienation OF
Catholics, particularly children, is the
| object of their presence in Rome
that is written for all to read.

at once one notorious passage-One

Join Hands With Asino.
In February, 1913, the 'Evangelista'
said:

| ity in which we can give each other
| the hand of brotherhood in the holy
| war against the heresy and darkness
of Romanism."

CLOSED" SHOP,
Definition Applies to the Non
 Union Shop Only.

Editor Cary of the Paper Makers Journal refuses to accept the term "c1osed'' shop that trade union oppon- .ents attempt to fasten onto union shops
 "A union shop or union agree ment in any factory" says this labor editor, "is not closed agreement against anyone who will obey the rules or terms of the agreement and the or ganization parties to the agreement i11 order that the parties will be governed by the agreement.
 Anyone who is fair to himself will admit that the union seeks to bring into membership all employees in the in dustry i'll which they are employed.
 Our contention IS that the closed shop is no-union shop. We have some of the posters distributed by the A. w. D. Weiss Company of Quincy, Ill.,, which bears out our contention The following IS copy of the poster they distributed: Four collars a day, board and clothing Work as many hours as you please at the A. w.

WHO'S coNsP1RING NOW?
Present Extortionate Coal Prices
 Not Up to the Miners.

Who is now conspiring to boost the price of coal and curtai1 production p asks the United Mine Workers Jour- nal.
 All over the country" says this labor paper, "the people are being compelled to pay outrageous prices for coal, re- gardless of the fact that the cost of production has not increased to any ap- preciable degree. Goal is selling at un- heard-of prices, but the wages of the miners remain unchanged All of the increase Is added after the coal leaves the hands of the miner.
 Last fall someone conceived the idea that the coal miners had entered into a conspiracy to boost the price and re- strict the production of coal, and they were prosecuted by the government.
 But, here, now, gouge is being carried on with which it would be wholly impossible to even intimate that the miners were in any manner con- nected.
 Who is now conspiring to keep up the price of coal? Is anything being done to stop this orgy of profteering
 Not on your life Possibly if the miners could be hooked up with the affair in some manner someone might be prosecuted. But nothing of the kind IS being done at present"

FINE FOR OLE. ,
Labor Batting Lectures Proved Highly Profitable to Ex-Mayor.

The story of how Ole Hanson, form CT mayor of Seattle, capitalized his an- tistrike activities as chief executive of the Washington metropolis, was made public in Judge Oscar Hebeps court in Chicago last week.
 Hanson was the star witness for the prosecution in the trial of number of men charged with violation of the espionage law. He told 1urid story of the Seattle struggle. James, Duncan, Seattle labor leader, followed Hanson of the stand and declared that 90 per cent. of the ex-mayor's narrative was ''plain bunk"
 On cross-examination Hanson stated that as mayor of Seattle he received a gross salary of $7,500 a year.
 After he had gained nationwide no- toriety as the result of the sensational proclamations which he issued during the strike, he resigned his position as mayor and went on the lecture plat form. He testified that he received $500 per lecture for the first 20 lectures After that he delivered hundred 1ec- lures for $35,000 In addition he wrote book, for which he secured consid- erab1e circulation through certain labor batting employers associations.
 Evidently Barnum was right. The American people are prepared to pay for the privilege of being bamboozled.

Democratic Control of the
 Railroads Plumb Plan Idea The Three organiza
 tion Secure Recognition, Says Writer Labor"

One of the fundamental features of the Plumb Plan IS the democratic con- trol which accords to the public and labor representation on the board of directors with railroad executives, writes Walter B. Kennedy in Labor ; This division of authority is justified because 1t affords adequate recognition to the three essential interests which underlie the railroad organization. It permits the consumer to have a voice in shaping the railroad policy and it establishes the principle of industrial democracy by inviting labor to meet with the public and the management to solve the problems of railroad opera ton. Capital is shorn of it's autocratic sway and the managers and executives are freed from the domination of Wall street. Naturally this form of demo- cratic operation drew the fire of Big Business. It is comforting to note that these same gentlemen nunconsciously aD- piled this very principle in the compost ton of the United States Railroad La Dor Board created by the Transporta- ton Act of 1920.
 This board Is composed of nine mem bers drawn from the public, manage ment and labor The inclusion of the public group marked a radical change m the composition of wage boards Collective bargaining usually occurs between the representatives of the em- ployers and employees. The public was not represented before or during the war in the adjustment of the wage and working conditions on the railroads. What were the reasons Ter the ad- dition of the public group? The ad- vocates of this departure from the settled methods of adi1,rYfcayfp 1,,,oae contended that the railroads were pub lic-service corporations; that the public is vitally interested in the settlement of wage problems and that in the end the public pays the bill in the form of in- creased freight and passenger rates.
 
 Granting the contention that the pub lie should have representation in fixing wages of railroad employees, why isn't the public also interested i'll fixing the salaries of the executives and officers
