View on Public Questions Sought.

View on Pubuc questions sought.
On public questions the views of the
cardinal were always among the first
sought. Some years ago the idea that
foreign governments. through the in
fiuence of money. would be able
system Of government was creating
something of a stir. The foreign
press. especially in Germany. inti-
mated that present conditions could
not possibly last more than half
dozen decades longer. An important
newspaper wrote to Cardinal Gibbons
for his opinion. taking him as a man
utterly unbiased and likely to be able
to judge calmly Of the conditions.
The questions put to him were three
in number: 90 Whether our republic
will last one hundred years longer.
(2) What is the greatest peril that
confronts US? 80 Whether we are in
danger of ever being bought up by
foreign syndicates and through such
influences our form of government be
changed
ITO your first question" wrote the
cardinal. II will reply that ! not only
fervently trust that our government
will last a hundred years longer, but
firmly believe that it will. What is our
greatest peril? answer. a departure
from those Christian principles upon
which our very laws and institutions
are based. AS long as these Christian
principles are maintained our 1nStl-
tutions will, under God, survive and
flourish. Our laws. which are only ex-
pre- essions of eternal law, will COM
mand our respect. and. therefore. our
loyal obedience. On the other hand,
every departure from these Christian
principles upon which our social
fabric rests tends to the loosening OF
the foundation stones of the republic.
"One of the most admirable features
of our system of government is the
happy balance of federal power with
state autonomy. and so long as this
golden mean is observed we shall pos
sess strength and liberty and inde-
structibility as great nation. In my
judgment, We need have no fear of
foreign capitalists and foreign syn
dicates. Those who invest in public
lands and our business enterprises
will naturally be brought to closer
acquaintance with our republican
form of government, and there Is lit
, tie doubt that our institutions and our
laws will gain upon them on closer
acquaintance" The influx of foreign
capital. he added. he thought a posi-
tive benefit rather than a peril to
large areas of our undeveloped conti-
nent.
His services to the Catholic Church
in America have been likened to those
of Cardinal Manning. and, like that of
the latter, his influence was compared
to light that had warmed while It
illumined.

ASK FOR ONE MILL TAX
LEVY FOR SCHOOLS IN
LOWNDES COUNTY
BOARD WILL ACT
Election Will Be Called to Deter
mine the Sentiment of the
People, is Belief.-An
Urgent Case.

Petitions from all section of Lown-
des county are pouring into the
Chancery Clerks office asking for a
levy of cne mill for the support and
maintenance of the schools Of the
county.
The petitions will be presented to
the board of supervisors at the Sept
ember meeting and if the required
number of signatures are filed it is
very probable that the board viii call
an election in order to odetermine the
sentiment and will of the people.
The rural schools of Lowndes
county face the most serious situation
in the history of the county. Unless
there is some provision made in the
way of a general tax levy for the sup
port of the schools, the county will
lose its share of the floating State
school fund, and the State distribu
tioI, On the basis of educable children
will be inadequate to maintain more
than four or five month school term.
For at least another year, however,
q six month term will be maintained
by using a surplus fund which will be
exhausted in a short time. When the
surplus fund is gone and unless gen
eral levy is made the schools will drop
back to four months.
People over the county generally
are realizing the seriousness of the
situation and strong sentiment is de-
veloping in favor of the one mill tax
levy.
The levy will not apply to the Co
lumbus Separate School district, but
to the district in the county outside
of 1918. In the Columbus Separate
School district the people are now
paying a special school tax of eight
mills.
Petitions for the levy will be pre-
sented at the September meeting of
the board and it is probable that an
election will be promptly ordered.

A discovery which, it is asserted,
will form one of the fundamental
sources for a history of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
by DR.. Oliverio, an Italian savant, in
Cyrene, the ancient Greek colony of
Africa, founded in the Seventh century.
A London Morning Post correspondent
writing from Cyrene, says that ex-
cavations at Bengasi (the ancient
Berenice, which stood In the midst Of
the gardens Of the Hesperides, near
the mouth of the River Lethe) have
unearthed q block of marble eight feet
long, one face of which bears a flaw
less Greek inscription of more than
100 lines. 1t Is the translation of a
letter from Augustus on the govern

in Cyrenaica, giving a wonderful in
