Rev Brother Paul, C. s. c., an
Assistant General of the Congregation
of Holy Cross, died at st. Joseph's
Hospital, South Bend, Ind, February
26. Although for a number of years
his health was rather Indifferent, yet
to the end he was active in Com

five years old and had the distinction
of being the first white child born at
SUPERIOR Wis.
When young man Brother Paul,
known in the world as John Nc

THE BISHOPS LETTER
GREAT INTEREST is AROUSED IN
HIGH CIRCLES OVER IMPOR-
TANCE OF CATHOLIC PROGRAM.

The pastoral letter of the Catholic
small satisfaction by members Of Con-
gress and officials of the government,
who are confronted by the tremend-
Gus task of national reconstruction 1t
has been said repeatedly by public
men before committees of Congress
that the Catholic Church is the most
important organization that makes for
stability Consequently the effect Of
the pastoral letter is sure to be
watched with interest in the confident
hope that it will tend to allay the
unrest.
The immediate effect of the letter,
taken in conjunction with the organ
ization of the National Catholic Wei
fare Council, has been to create the
impression that the Catholic Church
in the United States is to take more
aggressive part in the attempts not
only to restore normal conditions but
to solve social and industrial prob
lens, not in the ordinary political
sense, but by emphasizing the ethical
side of the most pressing questions.
Heretofore these have been studied
by Congress in a purely economic and
political light; and controversies have
been settled on a basis of eXpediency.
This system has failed; and gradu,
ally national legislators are coming to
the conclusion that clear statement
of the underlying ethical principles in
volved in the perpetual controversies,
especially those between labor and
capital, is necessary. The obligations
as well as the rights of both must be
defined, if any real progress toward an
understanding is to be made.
The Welfare Council during the past
week organized it's Committee on So
cial Service, of which Bishop Muldoon,
of Rockford, Illinois, is chairman. The
committee divided it's work into two
branches, industrial relations and citi-
zenship. The former will be under
the direction of Dr.. John Ryan, the
distinguished sociologist of the Cath
olic University, author of "The Living
Wage" and other works on economic
and sociological subjects. The latter
will be under the direction of DR..
John A. Lapp, who has also had wide
experience.
1t is not the intention to have this
bureau absorb or Interfere in any way
With existing organizations II viii
rather act in an advisory capacity.

PENDING MEASURE is SOCIAL
ISTIC IN TENDENCY.

Bishop William Turner of Buffalo is
opposed to the compulsory health in
surance measure now pending in the
New York legislature. In a letter to
DR.. Joseph Burke, a member of the
Buffalo Physicians Protective AssOci-
alton, Mgr. Turner declares that the
measure is SOcialistic in tendency and
that it's enactment would result in the
curtailment Of the rights Of the in
dividual The letter says in part:
Bishop Turner's Letter.
owing to the fact that a lecturer
sent out by the Catholic War Council
gave the impression that behind his
advocacy of the compulsory health
bill was the authority of the Catholic
Bishops, | feel compelled to express
to you the reasons for my opposition
to this perncious measure.
"First-It is a plank in the Social
list platform, form of State control
of individual interests, which could
quite legally be followed by attempted
control of everything which by nat
ural right and Divine sanction belong
not to the State, but to the individual
man and woman.
"Second-It is opposed, as all fair
minded educators can see, to the best
interests of medical science. 1t is OPP
posed to progress in the matter OF
medical practice, And to correct the
impression that in this the physicians
are seeking their own interest exclu-
sively, we would remind the promoters
OF the measure that the medical pro-
fession, by foregoing it's acknowledged
right to patent very lucrative devices
which are for the benefit of humanity,
has set an example which other pro-
fessions might very will initiate.
"Third-It has been tried and found
wanting. The advocates of this meas
ure should have more respect for as
certained facts. If they had they
would not attempt to foist on the State
of New York a measure which has
failed elsewhere.
Il do not know what forces are be-
hind this measure; whatever they are,
they should be met with show of
superior intellectual and moral force.
And SO far as | can at all contribute
to the strength of the negative, you
ard others who are fighting this pro
operation"

PLAN FOR CGMMUNA

The Belgian chamber has voted in
favor of votes for women u years old,
as well as men, in communal cleo

of the London Times. All the Cath
Ollie members voted for, the measure
and all the Liberals, except Paul Hy-
mans, minister Of foreign affairs, and
Bourgomaster Max, against it, while
the Socialists were divided between
their general principle of equality and
fear of Catholic influence. The Lib.
erals considered that women are not
yet ready for the vote.

CATHOLIC MAGAZINE S { A K S
HIGHLY OF DES c n A N E L.
PRAISES HIS BROAD VIEWS AND
FlRMNESS.

In view of the expected resumption
at no distant date of diplomatic rela-
tons between the Holy See and
France it is of interest to give here
the picture drawn by La CiVilta Cat
tolica' on the newly elected President
of the Republic:
IN. Paul Deschanel, born at Brus-
sells in 1856, made his marx at once
at his entry into the Chamber in 1885
for his eloquence and unfailing nobil-
ity of character. His gifts carried
him first to the Vice-Presidency, then
to the Presidency of the Chamber,
where he came to be regarded as a
model President, affable, impartial
and at the same time firm and severe
in conducting the debates. To judge
from the press his election, even in
Italy, has been received with universal
satisfaction. Concerning his princi-
pies the Catholic journal La Croix'
wrote Of him at the vigil OF his cleo
ton:
His moderation has been always
affirmed in religious questions, and
he is not the man to impede the move
ment toward concord and calm which
was manifested at the election Of
November 16. Over thirty years ago
it was he who, in agreement with AL
bert De Nun and WALTON, prevented
FalliereS, then Minister Of Public In
struction, from sending the students
Of the University of Paris to the anti
clerical demonstrations which the In
ternatiOnal Society of Free Thinkers
had organized at Rome, in front Of the
Vatican, in honor of Giordano Bruno.
1T is known that he did all in his
power to have the Government assist
officially at the re Dcum for victory
in Notre Dame, and that the veto
against it was put forward. by Glenn
enceau, his late opponent. He had the
courage at the Academy and also in
the Chamber to pronounce the names
of God and of Providence, which for
a long time had been excluded from
every official address, and, in his re
cent book on Gambetta, what he
praises most of all in his hero, is the
desire which he had to put an end to
the religious struggle by coming to a
loyal understanding with Rome

CATHOLIC HOOLS THREAT.
ENEED ANEW-FORCES OF BIG
OTRT IN MICHIGAN TO RENEW
TACK ON PAR 20 c RI A /
SCHOOLS.

Bishop Michael J. Gallagher and
Mgr. Van Antwerp, Rector of Holy
Rosary Church, Of Detroit, were in
Buffalo last week. Both prelatCs were
on the way home from Washington
where Mgr. Van Antwerp gave a four
days retreat to siNty-sjX priest-stu-
dents at the Catholic University.
Bishop Gallagher declared that a
bitter fight over TIE existence of the
par0chial school was imminent in
Michigan. "The bigotry in the State
is incredible" the Bishop said.
"Thanks to the initiative any group Of
fanatical men may club together and
submit a constitutional amendment to
the people. Such was the case two
years ago when the whole State went
dry and such is the aim now of pass
ing a popular measure, forcing all
children between the ages Of five and
sixteen years to attend public schools.
The parOchial school Of the Catholic
and the outcome is doubtful, since
our opponents are spending money
like water to carry their point. They
are not going to have a walk-aWay
victory. We will fight them at the
polls and in the courts to the last
ditch. Freedom in America has
reached the vanishing point when
such un-American measures as here
proposed are forced upon us. Where

NEW GUARDIANS
NEW YORK HAS SOCIETY TO RES
URRECT IDEAS OF GUARDIANS
OF LIBERTY.

An anti-Catholic political organiza-
ton, called the Sons and Daughters
of Washington" has just been formed
in New York State. Jay ". Forrest,
the founder of the Guardians OF Lib
erty and other anti-CathOlic organiza-
tons, which fOurished about five
years ago, is the promoter Of the new
society. 1t is claimed that branches
have already been established in
Pennsylvania and Now Jersey, and
that other States will be organized as
rapidly as possible.
The first public meeting Of the
Sons and Daughters Of Washington
was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania,
New York, on Sunday afternoon, Feb
rUary 30. More than three hundred
persons attended. Mr.. Forrest eN-
planned that the newly founded mil

'ideals,' and then insist upon the en-
GCtInent of legislation which will make

How car Catholic lawyer plead in
di.orce case, since his Church con-
dcrlns divorce?
The civil law considers MARI age as
civil contract and nothing else, and
the lawyer explains and pleads the
civil law. The Catholic Church teaches
that matrimOny is sacrament, but
admits that in marriage there are civil
effects ovc~ which the civil law
possesses full jurisdiction. Marriage
affects property rights and the guard
ianship Of children, and the civil law
must safeguard these rights. The
Church also teaches that in certain OK
IRENE cases husband and wife may
separate, and that separation may in
VOlvc civil effects. The Catholic law
yer has the right to act in an ad-
visory capacity, may present the case
of his client to the court. and may
ask for a civil divorce which amounts
to legal separation. Of course, the
civil law does not stop here: it grants
divorce with permission to .remaTry.
The lawyer has nothing to do with
this side Of the case, he merely eX-
plains the civil law to his client and
undertakes to protect his civil rights.
If the Catholic lawyer advised his
client to attempt another marriage, he
would be acting contrary to the teach
ings Of his religion and would be over
stepping his position as lawyer. The
Catholic judge is in the same position
as the Catholic lawyer. There are
many Catholic lawyers who will not
take a divorce case: but they are free
to do as they desire in the matter.
