ARE YOU AN EoANTHROPUs?

A modern scientist, DR.. Hill
Tout, is reported to have pre-
pared paper which seeks to dem
onstrate that man is polygenetic,
not monogenetic;. in other words,
Nature in the beginning, while
man was in the making, turned
out several specimens, not merely
one. The first Of these that really
stands at the head of mankind, as
such, would be the eoanthrOpus,
or the "DaWn Man I" A common
ancestor for man and apes is sup
posed to have existed, and by a
kind of lateral development, or
one-sided expansion, one OF the
two forms outclassed the other.
In the great race one form took
on a developed Uranium and
reached stage where he could
be called Eoanthropus, without
hurting his feelings at all. He
became the dawn man, our first
father whose picture should be
venerated in every filial home.
DR.. Hill-Tout is said to have
reached this amazing conclusion
from a minute examination of the
skulls Of apes and anthropoids.
Certain similarities and differ
ences appear to have led him to
discover eoanthropus.
Now, this will go hard with the
lovers Of the Pithecanthropus and
all the little Neanderthal family.
Up to the present these venerable
ancestors of the race held undis-
puted sway among certain scien-
lists who were sure that Genesis
was a lovely fairy tale but very
unauthentic. After all, it would
be scarcely correct to state that
God made man after His own
image and likeness, if man simply
developed from a money-like an
cestor until he possessed brains
and sense enough to be a dawn
man: for in this case man would
not have been created such: he
would have been evolved from an
inferior form of life.
The theory proposed by the
learned doctor will soon go the
way of other hypothesis formu-
lated by such scientists as OAR
win, Huxley, Haeckel and other
lesser lights. The, race is mono
genetic, and the only dawn
man" whose existence stands
proven is Adam, the father Of the
human family. seas

TAXING THE DEAD
RUMANIANS LEVY TRIBUTE ON
CORPSE, COFFIN AND
TOMBSTONE.

Among the outrages of the war, and
particularly of it's aftermath, those
perpetrated by the Rumanians in the
portion OF Hungary occupied by them
were characterized by the utmost re
finement of cruelty, says America.
We are not surprised, therefore, to
learn of an equal refinement attained
by them in the art of extorting taxes.
The deficit of the Rumanian admin
istration in the occupied Hungarian
town of Arad is said to amount to
400,000,000 leis. To find new sources
of income the town council has de-
cided to tax the dead, naturally the
dead Hungarians only. For each dead
person 100 leis must be paid, twenty
to hundred for a coffin, ten for a
wooden cross, from fifty to hundred
for crosses in stone or marble
Where these taxes are not paid the re-
spective graves are simply destroyed
by the Rumanians. Not even the
dead are allowed to rest in peace. Sc
the world has been made safe fol
democracy.

HELEN JACKSON
SO-cALLED "NUN" SUES MicHI-
GAN PAPERS FOR LIBEL-NoN-
CATHOLIC JURY GIVES YER
DICT, mo CAUSE FOR ACTION"

1t took jury in Ann, Arbor, Mich,
before Judge Sample, mighty short
time to settle the infamous Helen
Jackson case," once they received the
evidence. The trial was spread out
over almost week. All evidence was
in and submitted at five o'clock, the
jury retired, had supper and came
back within an hour with mo cause
for action" verdict.
The case grew out of the activities
of Helen Jackson during the last anti.
Catholic school campaign. The WON.
an was quite an asset to the bigots
The, Ypsilanti papers published Ger.
tain stories concerning her past his.
tory, summing them by saying she was
woman of the street." The WON
an sued both papers for the tidy sum
of $4,000, hoping perhaps to get a
couple of thousand in settlement rath
er than take the case to trial.
The trial brought to light the facts
that she was an inmate in three sep
arate reform schools, in Carthage
Ohio, and in Newport, KY In her lee
lures and speeches she claimed that
she had been a nun. The trial showed
that far from ever having been nun
she was never in a Catholic convent
While penitent at Newport, KY, she
was made kind of monitor to assist
the nuns in caring for the other WON
en-. AS such she was given distinc
tive garb, and in this uniform she
ran away from Newport, and having
her picture taken thus dressed, dis
tributed them broadcast.
During the trial the Superior of the
House of Good Shepherd was sum
moned to the stand and it was
brought out that the institution keeps
no records of the previous conduct Of
the women committed to their care
save that which is contained in the
documents at the time they enter
and it is the wish of the institution tc
know nothing about such details, moi
even the bare facts. Their one am
bition is to accord those who enter q
chance to forget the past.
The evidence which brought in the
verdict in such quick order was very
ample and the simplest Imagination
can summon up the necessary details
The jury was made up of hard headed
n-Cathollc farmers and business
men.

old. N
Father Dandurand, up to three years
ago, was active and able to celebrate
Mass daily, besides hearing confess
sions at least once a week in the met
ropolitan church of the archdiocese.
The aged priest enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the first French-C Ca

has accomplished much in the way of
evangelizhlg Indians and half-breeds
of Western Canada. Father Dandur-
and was born at LaPrairie, near Mont
real, March %, 1919, and ordained
priest by the late Monsignor Ignace
Bourget, in 1841. Some time after the
Bishop of Montreal being at Mar

Father MaZenod, the founder of the
Oblate Order, whose mother house is
in Rome, and Monsignor Bourget ex
pressed the desire to secure several

particular congregation, and in short
time four Frenchmen arrived in Can

called the Red River country.
Recruits were also asked for in
lower Canada, with the result that
Father Dandurand passed to the OBJ
late order and shortly before going to
Ottawa he became in time vicar gen.
eral to Monsignor Guignes, Bishop of
Ottawa. From there he went to the
Red River, the late Archbishop Tache,
then Bishop, being at the head of the
Diocese Of st. Boniface. This was in
1874, and since that time Father Dan

After perusing the offers of
"movies syndicates to a motor
ious debauchee who has been freed
from conviction for capital crimes
by a disgusting miscarriage of
justice, one almost prays for an
absolute and universal application
of ''Blue Laws" says the Echo.
Unquestionably this will come to
pass if such disgusting practices
are persisted in. So paganly
shameless has become the entire
conduct Of the moving picture
business that people with spark
of decency will in time allow the
more Puritanical free fling. If
this does not result in something
similar to the legal attempts to
obliterate the liquor traffic, hui
man nature will have quickly and
strangely changed.

upbraided him for his populations
in Church lands and who refused
to be invested by this secular
prince. A long controversy car
ried ON between England and
Rome resulted in triumph for the
sainted prelate and, incidentally
placed Anselm in the class Of
Gregory VII and Innocent III, the
heroic champions of the rights Of
the Church. William was forced
to bow and to renounce his pre-
tensions to the spiritual investi-
,ture Of prelates.
st. Anselm also wrote consider
ably ON ecclesiastical science, and
he really laid the foundation for
the future structure of scholastic
philosophy and theology which
was developed by the great
Aquinas.
On April Fl the Church recalls
the memory of her valiant son who
stood by the rights Of the See Of
Rome even in the face of royal
opposition. She honors him also
for his holiness and his profound
learning which threw a flood Of
light on the most abstruse prob
lens Of the faith. Even non-Cath-
Ole historians are lavish in their
encomiums of the man who resist
ed the English king to his face
and thus preserved the dignity Of
the Church. The English Freeman
admits: stranger as he was, he
won his place among the noblest
worthless Of our island"

The popular doctrine of the ami

fruit in animal dances, animal ban
quets and animal morality in the
refined culture of a goddess mod
ern society, but we have been wait
ing for the announcement of new
animal religion. This has now ar
rived and promises to lift civiliza-
ton to the zenith of animal per-
lection, notes America. The First
Church for Animal Rights was or
ganized March Is at the Hotel
Astor in New York. The cardinal
point of it's creed, is that: "Dumb
animals have a spirituality which
it is the duty of mankind in the
interest of civilization and of
Christianity to develop" Among
it's first disciples are mentioned a
number of literary and society
celebrities who pledge them
selves to preach ''the oneness of
all life" This is merely a re-
crudescence Of the absurdities of
the Haeckelian Monism. In the
meantime children are starving in
Europe and the world is in chaos
because it has turned it's face from
the worship of the one true God
to sacrifice anew to the idols Nof
Egypt and of Babylon. Animal
religion is an old, old creed.

THE UNRUlY FEW
ARCHBISHOP kORDAC REFUSES
DEMAND OF CZECH ScHlS-
MATICS.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

IN. -. ~.
Leaders of the new national
church in Czecho-Slovakia recently
surprised Archbishop Kordac by call
ing at the archiepiscopal residence and
requesting an audience. This he
granted, but only after having in
formed the members of the delega-
ton that he received them as ordinary
citizens of the republic and not as rep
resentatives of sect.
This statement from the Archbishop
produced a painful effect on the Wis
itors and at once one of their number
began to read their demands, chief of
which was that the Archbishop allow
the schismatics to share the use of
Catholic churches and rectories. The
Archbishop's answer was quick and
concise.
"As custodian of the Catholic prop
erty l can never comply with such
demand and I therefore refuse it,"
said Mons:gnor Kordac.
The petitioners then declared that
they would seek other means of obtain
ing the use of the Catholic churches
and rectories. Apparently, the new
attempt is evidenced in the motion
now pending before the National AS
sembly to compel the Catholics to al
low this joint use of their ecclesiasti-
cal buildings. The author of the mo-
ton is DR.. Krejci, former priest
who has become one of the bitterest
enemies Of the Catholic Church. :.
