CATHOLIC MEET
AT GREEN BAY

The Catholic Woman's club held
their annual picnic at the Thiemann
cottage at Devils Lake this year.
Mrs. Thieman demonstrated her abb
Ility as a very hospitable hostess. At
this meeting Mrs. A. w. Melzl read
her report of the conference coun-
ell of Catholic Woman's organiZa-
tons held at Green Bay. She said in
substance:
"Over twenty thousand Catholic
Women were represented. Delegates
were present from all parts of the
state The first days opening was high
mass at the st. Francis Xavier cath
edarl. This was followed by registra-
ton and reception Of delegates. Off
GERS elected for the year 1922 were,
for president; Miss Mary Conner Of
Madison, Mrs. J. F. Murphy Of
Green Bay, vice president; Miss
Katherine Williams of Milwaukee,
Mrs G. Casey of Ashland, and Mrs. E.
G. Perkins of Lacrosse were elected
second, third and fourth vice presi-
dents Mrs. Thomas Konop of Madi-
son corresponding secretary; Mrs.
John Brown Of Racine, secretary;
Mrs. N. H. Maxwell of Marinette,
treasurer.
Miss Katherine Williams of Mil
lwaukee gave, a live talk on State
charities. DIR. Anna Nicholson Of the
National Council of Catholic Women,
Washington, D. c., in her address
said,-"There is but one moral law,
and that law binds man as well as
woman" The foundation OF ciyila-
ton is the sanctity of the family and
the permanency of the home, and
the Catholic must endure, sacrifice
and misery, that the great evil of to-
day, divorce, be curtailed and abol-
isned. We are all equal, men and
women in our claims to justice. God is
above the state, and moral laws bind
the organization as well as the indi-
vidual. We cannot stand for the dress
the dancing and conduct of the young
people, especially the girls. But we
do not hope to correct it by the es-
tablishing Of Blue laws or by preach
ing and shouting. Rather will we in
still into our Catholic young women
the ideals that lead to- the better
things of life, and leading in that
direction, leave the base and unclean
things behind.
Other speakers of note were: Miss
Mary Connors, Madison; Miss Minnie

ply, Mrs. VIM. McCloskey and Mrs.
Henry Sutton of Green Bay; Mrs. E.
G. Paine Of Milwaukee, who made
splendid plea for the children, now
being cared for by the Big Brothers
and Sisters organizations Of that city.
She urged all present to make every
effort possible to give those little
ones summer outing.
Resolutions of sympathy in the
death of Right Rev. James Schwe-
bach were drafted and sent to his
family and diocese.
The Daily Cardinal, publication
of the University of Wisconsin in the
issue of May z, contained an article,
in which President Birge Of the Uni
yersity and Professors E. A. Ross.
Otto, and Guyer were quoted as COM
mening on a recent speech given by
w. J. Bryan to the student body The
faculty members were criticised by
the Catholic women for taking issue
with Mr.. Bryan who said in his ad-
dress that man did not descend from
the lower animals. The following
resolutions were accordingly brought
before the board and unanimously
adopted: Whereas such faculty mem
1 bers stigmatize the speaker as in err
ror when he says man is not des-
cended irons the lower animals, and
whereas, such speech is further re-
ferred to as are attempt to induce
! young people to unite their religious
faiths to discredited scientific doc
trines. We protest against such an
attempt on the part of such faculty
members, or others, to destroy the re-
ligious belief of the student body Of
all institutions and to promulgate the
scientific doctrines of such faculty
members. This resolution was for
warded to President Birge A most
sumptuous luncheon was given the
delegates at the Fox river Country
club. In the evening OF the same day
very fine musicale was given the
ladies in the Green Bay woman's club
house. They were also entertained
by visiting places of note among
them the: McCormic Memorial home
for the aged, beautiful home be-
queathed by the Misses Sarah and
Amelia McCormic and dedicated to
the memory of their brother, the
late Michael Joseph McCormic. This
