TWO CLEAR STATEMENTS.

+ \ - i "
During the past week two men
of national prominence have given
lltterance to sentiments which re-
fleet on the growing spirit OF toll
erance in this country. Governor
Nestos of North Dakota, speaking
at Grand Forks on Founders Day,
declared that religion was prlvi-
legged under the Constitution to all
the respect to which it is OF right
entitled; that professors who
sheer or scott at religion in the
presence of their students in the
state institutions are guilty OF a
violation of that spirit. Just as
the law forbids the teaching OF
any religious doctrine in our pub.
lie schools and colleges, so also
does it.forhid anything that might
in the least way, tend to belittle
the faith of the pupil. Professors
are paid from public taxes. and
hence they are bound to respect
the religious convictions OF those
who furnish them maintenance.
THE Protestant, an anti-Cath-
ollie publication in the national
capital, took Il fling at Hanford
MacNider. national commander OF
the American Legion, asserting
that he was Catholic, and that
"every policy and purpose Of the
Legion, it is, expected, will thus
be known to the clerical party and
to the directing hierarchy which
is its potential head. y

ing editor. AS it happens, Mr.
MacNider is both a Protestant ano
a Mason. In a pointed answer tt
that paper, he showed up The
mean, small, bigoted feeling that
| could actuate such a charge. Ht
called attention to the superb
| work of Catholic soldiers an(
chaplains, adding that when the
country was in danger, mosques
tons were asked as to religious
affiliations and that the Legion it
self now made no distinction. L
may be sufficient to add, for any
intelligent person, that the editor
Of the Protestant is the notice
bigot, Gilbert O. Nations, who fol
years has been fomenting attack
on the Catholic Church. Needles
to say, Nations was quick to maxi
an abject apology; the Legion i
still in fighting trim.

POOR OLD WATSON.

That sweet and shrinking violet
in the senatorial garden, tomwat-
son, last week raised it's en-
purpled head with accustomed
shyness, and with trembling
petals demurely faced the Zero
cious blasts Of senatorial buster.
The pleading, almost speaking, APP
peal of that diminutive loneliness
failed to elicit even a word of>com-
pliment from the hard-hearted
strangers who hate flowers of
that quality.
Poor old Watson started out on
a rampage personally conducted.

What was it all about this time ?
Well, Tom objected with his usual
strenuosity to the Roman menace
which was clear to all but the
willfully blind. A bill was up for
consideration. 1t empowered fed
eral judges to commit to reforma-
tories women convicted of minor
offences. Since some of these re-
form factories were Church msti-
buttons (guess which Church in

force of his opposition to the bill.

objections were received coldly
and politely ignored. Senator

THE ANGELIC DOCTOR.

by order and decree of the late
Pope Leo. NH. st. Thomas Aqui-
mas was declared universal patron
OF Catholic schools and scholars.
This was by reason both of his
sanctlty as well as of his learning:
two qualities that ever are aimed
at in the schools under Catholic
auspices. For holiness is the en-
bellishment of the soul even as
science is the ornament of the
mind, and God is the author of
soul, mind and their proper fur
nishings.
Thomas of Aquin succeeded in
uniting in his own person the
very highest form Of virtue and
learning. Clinging close to God
III the strong embrace of personal
sanctity, he scared into the en-
pyrean Of human and divine
knowledge. With a mind clari-
fed by divine grace, he grasped
the most intricate problems of
thought, dissected them down to
the last tentacle, laid them bare
and quivering in all their simple
ity before the gaze of the intel
lect, and then traced their origin,
growth and development back tc
God or His attributes. In this
way he entered the lists with the
intellectual giants Of the ages. No
challenge Of atheism or of ma
terialism was left undefeated
Every field of mental inquisition
was thoroughly explored, dia.
grammed and made accessible ia
all searchers for the truth.
a remarkable trait of the An.
gelic Doctor is that throughout his
many vast works there is not the
least trace of harshness or bitter
ness for those who opposed him

ly impersonal manner as if they

jects. Their arguments are taker

he demolishes their shaky struc

as quietly passes on to the mex

he addresses himself and hi,
genius purely to the intellect with
out passion or vindictiveness to
wards any, or, in the words O
Lincoln, "With malice towards
none.' He aims ever at trutl
without thought for persona
victory. In this he is the mode
not only for the scholar and tn,

The English press is calling at
tention to the Mormon disciples
who are busily engaged in secur-
ing converts among young women
ein that country. The Mormons
seem to have centered their at
tention in the midland counties.
In one town where they tried to
secure the public baths for the
purpose of baptizing their con-
verts the town council refused per-
mission. The movement is now con-
centrated on London, where a So
called Mormon mission has set up
it's headquarters, under the lead
ership of a person who calls HIM
self Bishop" Savage. According
to recent information from Ger
many and other parts OF Central
Europe, the Mormon propagan-
dists are no less active in those
parts of Europe than they are in
Great Britain. There is talk OF
securing the deportation OF these
missionaries as undesirable aliens.

Lands.

The retirement Of Judge Lands
from the federal bench seems to
have evoked more general COM
ment-and regret-than that of
any other iurist in many years.
The eminent man of the law had
a most picturesque career which
fitted in well with his unusual
name, a memento of the famous
battle in which his father took
part.
The various accounts of Judge
Lands last day as presiding Off
GER Of his court agree ON the feel
ing of sorrow that aroused emo
tions in both Judge and friends.

ing common sense, his, fine
appreciation of justice, as distin-
guished from mere law, and his in

Perhaps the group of reporters
who presented him with a tcstimo-
NAL expressed as well as could be
the sentiment of all, that he was
an honest -to-God man, and a
Judge with the right kind OF
backbone. +" Placed in the same
circumstances as Lincoln, Judge
lands doubtless would have du-
plicated that famous leaders,

same way, for he is man after
the Lincoln type.
The trait that stands out with
force and clearness in the seven
teen years Of Judge lands lu-
dicial career is his knack OF going
straight to the heart Of q question
and of applying thereto the fun

tice. He exhibited the same sang
froid in fning the Standard Oil
Company twenty-nine million dol,
lars that he did in assessing a tax
dodger the sum of one cent. In
each case he judged according tc
the rules of primitive, human JUS:
tice. No quibbling or finely drawn
technical distinctions were allow
ed to interfere with his Impartial
application of equity and fairness
as between man and man. Or
every occasion he was truly

week and which menaced the safety of
eighty young children under their care.
