The bigots are issuing propaganda,
holding meetings all over the state,
and have deluded thousands into be-
lieving that the Catholic Church is
fast gaining control of the country and
that the closing of the parochial school
doors would cut the artery from
which the Church, as they think, de-
rives it's life. A meeting of every
priest in the diocese has been called
and a program will be outlined and
plans formulated to reach every voter
in the state. Joint meetings are to be
held with sects that will be affected
by the measure.
There are approximately 10000
Catholic voters in the state, while
there are 100000 non Catholics hold
ing the ballot. In the face of these
figures it is predicted that the meas

spare unless the Catholics by cease

history of the plans, explained that

DROPPED $50 FEET.

AS result OF the decision of the
British air authorities that all pas

that the credit for inventing this arm
of aerial safety belongs to monk.
The first attempt to make a para

then, to test it's effectiveness, made
a descent from tower $50 feet in
height. The descent seems to have
been made both successfully and safe
ly, and thus the first parachute came
into existence.

100000 CATHOLICS IN u. S.

on the basis of age and sex distribu-
ton of the total population of the
United States. But even the adjusted
figure is clearly incomplete, as there
is no reason to believe that even sub
stantially all the persons belonging to
the faith are included among church
members. BY comparing the United
States figures with those available for
Canada, where both the number of
church members and of persons pro-
Tossing each faith are available. the
conclusion is reached that Catholics
constitute not less than 21 per cent
OF the population of the United States.
and that 23,O00,000 is a reasonable es-
innate of their number.

On May 3, the Society for the Prop,
agation of the Faith celebrated the
one hundredth anniversary of it's foun-
dation in Lyons, France. AS noted
last week, Pope Plus XI signed a
"Motu Proprio," ordering the transfer
to Rome of the direction of the work,
which had been so far in Lyons and
Paris, and giving it new constitu-
tion. The document which appeared
in the "Acta ApostoEcae Sedis," may
be summarized as follows:
Aim of Society.
The Society for the Propagation of
the Faith continues to be an associa-
ton of the faithful Of all nations hav-
ing for its aim the assistance by pray
ers and aims of the missionaries
preaching the Gospel, especially in pa
gan lands.
The aim of the Propagation of the
Faith remains unchanged; it cOntin-
lies to aid by prayers and aims priests,
brothers, and nuns preaching the Cos
pei in mission countries. In the same
manner as it intends to help all mis-
sionaries, regardless of their national
ity or the field of their labors, it also
invites the faithful of all countries to
unite in that crusade, at the head Of
which is the Holy Father himself, for
the conversion of the pagan world.
While the society has always been, al
though indirectly, under the authori-
ties of the Church, it becomes now a
Pontifical association; Pope Plus XI
declares that he makes it his own and

The village election will be upon us
again next Tuesday. Let us as good
American citizens go to the polls, cast
our ballot and then come away, con-
tent to abide by the decision of the
majority of the voters. Probably none
of the candidates whose names appear
on the ballots are perfect, they are
human beings like the rest of us with
many shortcomings, but they are un-
doubtedly fair representatives Of our
town. All that we have to say per-
sonally is we hope we will be spared
the affliction of hearing the village,
the candidates or their supporters
scathingly denounced by individuals
who have not enough interest in our
municipal affairs to put up their own
candidates or even cast a vote, and we
also pray that if there are any busy
bodies peddling petty gossip we may
not have the misfortune to encounter
them.
