Rome, Dec. 23.-The holy office
issued decree today asking Cath

ton which, while protesting abso-
lutte freedom Of thought in religi-
Gus matters, instills indifferentism
and apostasy to the Catholic relis-
ion in the minds of its adherents."
The decree mentions the Young
Mems Christian Association by
name, saying it is upheld by many
Catholics who do not know its real
nature. The decree says the Or
ganization cOrrupts the faith IF

Clauses of the canon law which
forbids papers, periodicals and or
ganizations favoring religious rad
icalism and indifferentism are re-
called in the decree, which requests
the bishops to communicate with
the Holy See within six months the
decision taken on the subject at re-

FORDNEY BILL
PASSED BY AID
OF DEMOCRATS
Attitude of Party Towards
G. .O.P Tariff Measure
Surprising.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

Washington, D. c., Dec. a3.-Ab-
normal economic conditions are
producing abnormal political divi-
sions everywhere but the attitude
OF the Democrats toward the emerg-
ency tariff bill about to be passed
by the house of representatives Is
the most significant thing that has
happened since the political up
heaval which the country expert
enced at the polls last November.
Informally canvassing the Demo
Gratis in the house, the leaders
found a few days ago that about
two-thirds of them were getting
ready to vote for the FOrdney tar
iff bill. and this too in spite Of the
fact that the wool schedule is much
higher than the famous schedule X
which President Taft finally admit
ted was "indefensible."
Democratic leaders began to rea-
son with their brethren and found
out that fear of the farmers and
the cattle raisers was at the bot
tom of the protectionist feeling OF
the Democrats who we're not afraid
of Republican opposition but the
prospect that protectionist Demo
Gratis might arise in the next pri-
maries to contest their seats The
Democratic leaders found that the
Democratic rank and file had been
persuaded to believe that they
would not be held to task by low
tariff Democratic constituents fol
voting for an emergency measure
The upshot of the conferences
however, was a considerable return
to the original Democratic position
on the tariff and there will not bt
as many Democratic votes for the
Fordney bill as it seemed at first
The vote, however, will be sur
!, prising.
! The contention of the Democrat,
leaders is that il Democrat votei
for the principle of protection IL
an emergency measure. he will fint
it difficult 10 oppose the tariff meas
ures which the Republicans will
unquestionably offer as a perma
nent policy when the extra session
Of congress has been convened.
Oppose Fsrdney Bill.
How, it is asked. can a Democra
reverse himself when the real tar
if bills are before him next spring
Accordingly many Democrats, es
pecially those in the senate, are an
nouncing that they will bitterly op
pose the Fordney bill when i
reaches the upper house and tha
they will insist on thorough dis
cussion and considerable debate
Democrats, however, will be founl
supporting the bill. Senators Rams
,dell and Gay of Louisiana as wei
as some western Democrats il
whose states the cattle raisers ar
clamoring for tariff protection t
stop the fail in the price Of WOO
will form a sturdy coalition whicl
will assist the Republicans mate
rally in getting the measur
through the senate. Souther
! Democrats are inclined to line u
against the measure together wit
some eastern Republicans in th
senate in whose states are manu-
featuring concerns who want fol
eign markets and fear a disturb
ance to trade if retaliatory tari
wars are begun.
