ABLY CLEAR STUDY OF A MOST
MoMENToUS QUESTION:.

Hon. Thomas Dillon O'Brien, of st.
Paul, former associate justice of the
Supreme Court of Minnesota, has just
published brief work which posses
ses unusual merit. The title of the
book is The Great Experiment, re-
ferring to de Tocqueville's charac-
terization of the American idea of
government. Lord Macaulay, arguing
against the stability of republics,
wrote: "As for America, we appeal to
the twentieth century,. Judge o.
Brien here gives the answer sought by
the English author.
In the present work the distinguish
ed jurist seeks to explain why re.
publican form of government was es-
tablished under a written constitution.
He examines into the nature of liber-
ty and the various safeguards thrown
about this august prerogative Of the
American citizen. With dispassionate
calm and judicial poise, Judge O'Brien
makes use of sane argument and apt
illustration to prove that the Ameri-
can Constitution is most vital force
for real liberty. In thirteen chapters,
remarkable for simplicity and
lucidity rarely found in such work,

OREGON SCHOOL BILL
ADHERENCE TO SCOTTISH RITE,
NOT AMERICAN RIGHTS.

Freedom of education has been
brought to the forefront as an issue
in the Oregon gubernatorial cam
paign by the announcement of Wal
ter NJ Pierce, Democratic candidate
for governor, that he will support the
public school compulsory education
bill, which is sponsored by the Scot
tish Rite Masons.
Il am in favor of and shall support
the compulsory school bill sponsored
by the Scottish Rite Masonic bodies of
Oregon declares Pierce, in a state
ment given the press. Il believe we
would have a better generation of
Americans, free from snobbery and
bigotry, if all children up to and in
Guiding the eighth grade were edu-
Gated in the free public schools of
America. l believe we should have
legislation prohibiting the wearing of
sectarian garb by teachers in the pub
lie schools"
Pierce boasts that he is a Protesr
tant, descendant. of nine American
generations and that his wife and all
her relatives are IProtestants.

.C0DDL|NG THE TURK
ENGLISH CATHOLIC Pc r
CRlTiCIZES BRITISH POLICY
cAsTiGATES WEAKNESS AND
SELFlSHNESs OF POWERS.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
The English Catholic press is not
sparing of criticism of the British gov
ernment's attitude in the crisis in the
Near East. The Universe, in it's lead
ing commentary on affairs of the
week, declares that the impression
has got abroad that neither peace in
the East, nor the protection of Eastern
Christians is the governing motive of
the policies of the statesmen concern
ed.'
The comment in the Universe is as
follows:
"The open conflagration in Asia
Minor-to say nothing of the incen-
diarism that seems to be brewing in
all sorts of other places-is the bit
terest of practical commentaries on
the re-assembling of the League of
Nations in Geneva this week 1t is
difficult to summon up any sympathy
for either party to Anatolian warfare,
but the most miserable aspect of the
struggle is the suspicion that both
parties are but pawns in a bigger
game. Rightly or wrongly, the i'm
preston has got abroad that the
Turks have the French government
behind them, and the Greeks the
British, and that neither peace in the
East nor the protection of Eastern
Christians is the governing motive of
the policies of the statesmen concern
ed. Certainly it is difficult to, believe
that if the great Powers had really
wanted to prevent this conflict, or now
really want to end it, they would find
it impossible to do so. Anyhow the
result is that all suffer, not only the
hapless population whose homes are
being devastated and the belligerents
on both sides, but also the great Pow
ers themselves-whi means all of
US. AS for Britain, the bigger the
Turkish successes, the bigger will be
their repercussion all over the East
with more trouble in Palestine,
Mesopotamia, India and Egypt 1t is
to be hoped that this aspect of the
affair will be given weight before the
mischievous consequences become
also irreparable.' s.

the author photographs the temple of
Liberty, so to say, from as many
angles. He displays it's beauty and
charm. With real artistry he brings
before his readers every point of
strength in wall and tower, buttress
and arch.
Speaking of the action of those who
would lay profane or careless hands
upon this august structure, Judge o.
Brien warns:
IF we are to change our form of
government by tearing down the Con-
stitution, let us, before we begin, at
least determine at what part of the
edifice the first blow is to be struck"
This is sound advice and genuine
Americanism.
The chief merit, perhaps, of this
volume lies in the exposition of the
part played by the Supreme Court in
so constituting the American Constitu-
ton that it's intended power for the
protection of liberty be not impaired
by demagogue, fanatic or reactionary;
that it remain the living, breathing
force projected by it's trainers, and
that it preserve untarnished and un.

generation to generation down to the

This little work merits a place Of
honor in the library or on the reading
table of every intelligent citizen, ir-
respective of creed, politics or pre-
vious land of origin. 1t Is succinct
summary of those fundamental truths
that seem to have become obscured in
the minds of even some present-day
leaders of thought.

Ancient Smyrna.
The recent tragic happenings at
the Levant of Christians, have drawn
the attention of other countries to this
spot which was early associated with
Christianity
The Latin archdiocese of Smyrna
in Asia Minor has a population one.
half Greek with numerous Jews and
Armenians. There are 10000 Cath
olics in the district which with the
Vicariate of Asia Minor includes the
city itself and certain suburbs. The
rule is Greek and Turkish, and the
Archbishop is. Right Reverend John
B. Vallega.
The city of Smyrna was founded
more than 1000 years before Christ
by colonists from Lesbos. Shortly
before 6sS B. c. it was captured by the
Ionians under whose rule is became a
rich and powerful city. 1t subsequent
ly comprised the Kingdom of Per-
gamus and was ceded to the Romans
in 1873 B. c.
Smyrna was demolished by an
earthquake A. D. 170-1SO and after
ward rebuilt by Marcus Aurelius. In
673 it was captured by a fleet of Arab
Mussulmans.
Under the inspiration of Pope
Clement vi the Latins succeeded in
capturing Smyrna from the Mussul-
| mans in 1344 and held it until 1402
| when Tamerlane destroyed it after
| Staying the inhabitants. In 1924 the
Turks captured it and save for brief
occupation by the Venetians in 1472
i. has since belonged to them.
Preaching of Christianity.
Christianity was preached in Smyr
na at an early date In the year 81
there existed Christian community
here which was directed by Bishop
+, st. John mentions this Bishop ir
terms of the highest commentator
i'll the Apocalypse.
| Two letters are extant which were
written in the second century from
Troas by St. Ignatius of Antioch tt
the Christians of Smyrna and to Poly
carp, their Bishop. When Polycarl
was martyred the Church of Smyrna
sent an encyclical letter to variou.
churches concerning his death. Aftel
Polycarp several of the early Bishop!
were put to death.
The, Latin See of Smyrna was ere
ated by Pope Clement VI in 1346 ant
had an uninterrupted succession o
titulars until the 18th century. Thi
was the beginning of the Vicariat
Apostolic of Smyrna, a territory o
vast extent.

(By N. G. w. C. News Service.)
The signal failure of the diplomacy
Of Christian powers is blamed by
those conversant with the situation
for the destruction of Smyrna and the
present situation in the Near East, ac-
cording TO the Very Rev. John F. Fen
Ion, S. S., of the Catholic University,
who has just returned from the af-
fected areas and was in Smyrna with
in the last month.
Greeks Blame Allies.
DR.. Fenlon left the destroyed city
when the Turks began the drive which
finally forced the Greek troops to fee
before them and ended in the catas-
trophe which has cost thousands of
lives. At that time, the end of August,
there was no grave fear among the
pOpulace that the Turks would menace
their safety. The Greeks, however,
were altogether discouraged, especial
ly in view of the fact that the allies
were regarded by them as prohibiting
them from exercising free hand to
deal with the situation. 1t was claim
ed by the Greek authorities that the
necessity of maintaining the neu-
trality of the straits and the refusal
of the allies to permit the use of Con-
stantinople as basic of operations
was seriously affecting their arms.
1.-THE general opinion among Ameri-
cans" said DIR. Fenlon, was that the
Turks, should they advance toward
Smyrna, would overcome this dis
couraged opposition, and this proved
the case.
But back of this victorious advance
of the Turks lies the signal failure OF
allied diplomacy. What politics could
be more ineffective than that of the
allies who had the Turks under their
control and who permitted them te
get out of hand again? There is nc
defending the Turks and there has
been nothing more disgraceful than
the policy of aiding the Turks which
has been adopted first by one Chris
tian power and then another. The al
lies could have agreed upon an effec
tive policy; but each was looking af
ter it's own interests and the common
problem was not solved. France die
not like to see England using thu
Greek soldiers to strengthen the grill
on Constantinople. France furthe
felt that there was danger of losing
Syria in war with the Turk.
Basicaliy a Religious Question.
"Basically the question is reli
gious question, but on the surface it il

advantages, provided that church OBJ
serves the solemn Eucharistic Sunday.
There is no restriction in the Pontif-
ical document that the members may
gain the indulgence in one church
only.
Other Spiritual Concessions.
Other spiritual concessions made to
all Catholics during the jubilee will
be:
Seven years and seven quarantines
every time a person visits a church on
Sunday when the Solemn Eucharistic
Day is being observed and is present
at the public Jubilee procession OF
Holy Name parade, praying at the
same time for the intentions Of the
Holy Father -
plenary indulgence each time a
person receives Holy Communion and
makes the aforesaid visits and at
tends the Jubilee procession or Holy
Name parade
On the day of the Solemn Eucharis-
tic celebration, all Masses offered in
the church for the souls of any of the
faithful who have departed this life
in the friendship of God are to be
considered as if offered on privileged
affairs.
The Diocesan Director in every dio-
cese which has Diocesan Union is
empowered to give the PapaI Bless
ing at the autumn reunion of the Holy
Name Society. The spiritual direc-
tors of all local Holy Name Societies
whose members received Holy Com
munion in March. 1922, for the Holy
Father, are authorized to give the
Papal Blessing to the members of the
societies on a designated Communion
Sunday
These privileges were granted by
His Holiness in private audience
granted to the Very Rev NJ J. Ripple,
O. P, Director of the Holy Name So
ciety in the United States. They are
bestowed on condition that those who
benefit by them continue to pray even
more frequently than in the past for
the intentions of the Pope The Papal
Blessing may be given at the close
OF retreats, by all preachers who are
members of the Holy Name Society.
Such preachers are also allowed to
impart the Crozier blessings on
rosaries and the Apostolic Blessing to
beads, crosses and crucifixes.
Cardinal Boggiani's Interest.
The concessions and grants from
the Holy See to the Holy Name So
cieties in the United States were OBJ
tanned by the National Director, Fa-
ther Ripple, through Cardinal Bog
giani, the Cardinal Protector of the
Holy Name Society in the United
States. The Cardinal has taken
deep interest in the welfare of the
society in America and on two oc-
casions has visited the United States
and while here has distributed Com
munion to many members of the So
ciety
In making the latest concessions to
encourage the Holy Name Society, the
present Pontiff is carrying out the
policies of his predecessors, Popes Leo
XIII and Benedict XIV, both of whom
endeavored in every way to foster the
extension of the organization.

In honor of the fiftieth anniversary
of the canonical establishment of the
Holy Name Society in New York City,
from which it has spread throughout
the United States, Pope Plus XI has
designated the three months from
October l to December 81 inclusive as
time for the celebration of a solemn
Holy Name Jubilee. During these
three months special privileges are
granted to Holy Name Societies in
the United States and extraordinary
indulgences can be gained by mem
bers.
Faculties Granted by Holy See.
Exceptional faculties have been
granted by the Holy See to confessors
during retreats held within the jubilee
period. Part of the instructions is
sued in connection with the Apostolic
grants concerning the jubilee read: "A
retreat may be given in every church
during the time of the Holy Name
Jubilee, from October 1 to December
81. The retreat should begin on one
Sunday and conclude the following
Sunday. Special preachers, where it
is possible, should be engaged to
preach the retreat
"The concluding day of the retreat
should be observed as a Solemn
Eucharistic Day. Permission should
be obtained from the Bishop for the
exposition of the Most Blessed Sacra-
ment on the last day of the retreat.
The members of the Holy Name So
ciety should receive communion in a
body. Holy Name men on this
Eucharistic Day should be asked to
