i destroy divorce or it will destroy
this country, as it did Rome" was
the warning sounded by United States
Senator J. E. Ransdell, of Louisiana,
at the banquet of the knights of St.
John, Sunday night, preceding the in
ternational convention in Cleveland.
America is now leading the world
in divorces, he said, and it is spread
ing with alarming rapidity. He pre-
sented statistics, compiled by the
Federal Census Bureau, showing
that there were 112,O36 divorces
granted in the United States in 1916.
'The total number of divorces
granted in 1867 was 9,937, or 27 per
100000 population" Senator Ransdell
said. In 1916 there were 112,036 di-
vorces, or 112 per 100000 population,
or more than eleven times as many.
Our marriage and divorce laws are
framed according to the whim of the
legislators of each individual State,
and the result is veritable patch
work." Senator Ransdell continued.
81 doubt if laws would go far toward
curing this disease unless we can
have positive prohibition of divorce" +"

RABBI LAUDS Plus x|
THE POPE Is CONSIDERED ONE
OF THE, FOREMOST HEBREW
SCHOLARS IN EUROPE.

Among the old friends and greatest
admirers of Pope Plus XI is Alexander
di Fano, Chief Rabbi of Milan, who
is the most eminent and influential
Jewish ecclesiastic in Italy, and one
of the greatest authorities on Jewish
theology and Jewish literature and
history in Europe. The friendship
began when the present Pontiff, as a
young priest, sought tuition in the
Hebrew language from the. Rabbi,
whose favorite pupil he became. In
after years, when Mgr. Ratti became
the librarian of the great Ambrosian
Library, at Milan, he once more
sought tuition of the Rabbi in order
to perfect himself in the study of the
Talmud, Jewish doctrines, theology
and tradition. He proved a very apt
scholar, and the Rabbi declared Plus
Xl to be one of the foremost scholars
of Hebrew in the Old World, assured
1y the greatest master of Hebrew lore
and language who has ever occupied
the papal throne.

RIDICULOUSLY.

In spite of the effort made by a
Protestant minister to defeat Cover
nor Percival p Baxter for renomina-
tion in the Republican primary. cleo
ton in Maine, by appealing to anti
Catholic prejudices, the Governor
easily triumphed over his opponents
by obtaining a plurality of more than
10000. .
The, minister who sought to foment
religious intolerance in the campaign
was Rev. Judson P. Marvin, pastor of
the Universalist Church of the Mes
siah in Portland, and the pretext up
on which he acted was Governor
Baxter's gift of an organ to Sacred
Heart Parish of Portland, coupled
with the Governors attendance at re-
igious services in~the church on the
occasion of the instruments dedica-
tion, and his action in sending mes
sage of coincidence to Rome on the oc-
casioh of Pope Benedict's death.
In a letter which he circulated
throughout the State, Rev. Mr. Marvin
urged the defeat of Governor Baxter
One excerpt from this. letter is the
following:
"Will the people of Maine stand
idly by and allow the Chief Executive
of this State to recognize officially any

we to have the school system of the
Middle Ages and Continental Europe

Dutton bestows on his charges at

For years Brother. Dutton stead

leprosy, and with him we built the
