POPE
BENEDICT
XIV
BY
Rev. Father J. r. Tucker

1.-THE Common Father OF AL" wnn
the title that Pope Benedict XIV loved
to claim for himself above all others.
l. formed the keynote Of his first
encyclical and recurs frequently in
his subsequent pastorais. allocutions
and public utterances Tho Common
Father Of All" seems to have been the
measure OF this great spiritual lead
er's mind and heart. 1t accounts for
the stand he took in things political
as we'll as in things religious. To all
mon he was to be In reality as well as
In name the Holy Father" All were
his children. and under the light of
this common fatherhood. distinction OF
race, nationality or creed could find
no place in his great soul.
This magnanimous trait OF charac-
ter In the lamented Pontiff strikes
sympathetic chord In the American
mind very particularly. Witnesses to
this are the three Protestant bishops
of this country who in the spring OF
1919 approached the late Pope In per-
son to lay before him their views on
Church Unity. Although Pope Bene-
diets ideas did not meet theirs on
this grave subject, the three bishops
after their audience seemed TO put
more stress on the graciousness of
their reception at the Vatican and the
Sindliness OF the Holy Father than on
his refusal to consent to n League Of
Churches. The Pope had considered
them as his children too, though from
his point of view, of tho refractory
type, somewhat as his illustrious pre-
decessor Leo XIII had once called
an those of their kind "our separated
brethren
SO TO in his protests against the
proselytizing methods of certain
American agencies in Catholic coun-
tries during and after the war. Pope
Benedict, as the Common Father of
All was trying without any bitterness
or prejudice TO protect the ones and
i to reprove paternally the others. In
accomplishing the latter part of this
unpleasant task His Holiness was
speaking against a thing that many
American chaplains of all denomina-
tons with Bishop Brent. Protestant
Episcopal, in the lead, had taken ex-
ception to.
. The Common Father OF All never
appeared to better advantage as such
than when after the armistice ht
; could be seen daily in the great halls
of the Vatican surrounded by groups
of soldiers and belligerant nations wh'
had come on furlough to pay him thei,
homage and receive his blessing

ELLIS ISLAND REFORMS.

Despite vigorous official denial of re-
cent charges made by Miss Gencvieve
Forbes with respect TO deplorable con-
ditions at Ellis island It now develops
that radical changes have been made
as result of the expose.
Miss Forbes went abroad and came
back as an alien for the purpose Of
investigating at first hand the alleged
abuses at the island and her stories
were replete with human interest.
Whether federal officials were
cognzant Of these conditions or not
the fact remains that following publi-
cation OF Miss Forbes charges steps
were taken to correct the abuses. If
is to be hoped that prospective citizens
now will leave Ellis island with q
kindly feeling toward our government
and toward the American people In
stead of with a feeling Of horror and
resentment, as oftentimes was the
case before these reforms were made

FORD AND MUSCLE SHOALS.

Tho United States government can
not escape taking into account tho OBJ
vious disadvantages attending Henry
Ford's Muscle Shoals proposals. But
when all the disadvantages have been
weighed, what alternative is left for
the Government 10 consider? 1t has
been waiting long and received no
other offers worth serious attention.
Mr.. Ford has submitted bid to
take over the plant on fairly definite
terms. If il is rejected for any cause,
is the property to be abandoned and
allowed TO go 10 ruin? II not, the only
other course open to the Administra-
ton would be to carry through the
Muscle Shoals project and operate the
plant at Government expense.
For an industrial enterprise of that
sort the United States Government is
too plainly untitled TO admit of argu-
ment. 1t might keep on spending
money endlessly and footing growing
OF no Importance. After it's expert
ence in other directions. there can be
no excuse for its entering upon new
ventures even less promising.
BY the operation of the Muscle
Shoals plant the Government would
engage in manufacturing. From that
sort of commercial undertaking II
needs to steer clear. Once it goes in
for producing nitrates for sale, there
is no end TO similar schemes in which
it may become involved. Congress
would not need a second invitation to
commit it to other plans TO invest
money in other classes of industry for
the benefit Of certain sections or In
terests.
Instead of going deeper into busi-
ness the Government should so far
as possible withdraw from business

likely TO have the fight Of his life on
