P. j. Wallace, is, with Robert
Larson, a candidate for the office
of State Representative This is a
very important office because the
House of Representatives affords
an unequal platform to present the
demands of the farmers and work
ers for better conditions in life.
And Wallace is one of the best men
IN the state to represent the inter-
ests of the common man there. Be-
cause of long residence in Montana
he was here before many of US
and because of knowledge of men
and events and his debating ability,
ne is bound to make things hum at
the next session in Helena. His
training as a lawyer will prove an
invaluable aid to him in drafting
and presenting bills and the fact
that he was a working farmer for
many years in this state will result
IN solid advantages to the people
who send him to the State Capital.

statement also said that the Mexican
constitution attacked the divine orr
gin Of the church, it's objectives, its
ministers and it's property.
Questions Are Answered.
To question as to through what
constitutional means Catholics hope
to obtain modification of the religious
regulations, the episcopate replied:
The means would be to make
President Gales see he has exceeded
himself in his authority, which Is
declared by many legal experts. Cath
olics and non-Catholics. and also by
amending the constitution. Regard
Ing other means adopted by individ-
uals or private secular associations,
the church will limit itself to saying
whether they are lawful or unlawful"
Ampllfying the answer that the Mex
ican constitution attacks the church
and its ministers, the statement says
the constitution denies the judicial
personality Of the church, author
ICES federal officials to intervene in
the affairs Of it's cult and external
dlclpllne, empowers local legislatures
10 determine how many priests shall
ofnclate in each State and forbidS the
church, its ministers and church
societies to own property. all of which
makes impossible the life of the
church in Mexico.
The statement declares that the con-
sututional regulations consider Grim
lnal certain acts ordered by God, such
as the fulfillment of religious vows,
made compulsory by Gods law, who
ever made them: the duty Of parents
to teach their children the truths Of
the Catholic faith. and the encourage
ment, under Gods order of divinely
inspired religious vocations.
All Schools May Be Closed.
On the question whether Catholic
children are forbidden to attend pub
lie schools in Mexico, the episcopate
points out that canonical law forbids
fathers or their representatives know.
ingly to educate their children in a
religion which is not Catholic.
1t is said further that thus far
about so Catholic schools, averaging
$50 pupils each, have been closed, but
if the government insists on execution
Of the regulations, all the Catholic
schools, having a total of 100000
pupils, will be closed.
The episcopate says 1t is impossible
to give the number Of priests and
nuns deported, because of the diff.
Guilty in the security of the mails,

this persecution" But it is estimated
that 800 foreign priests and 80 nuns

ing their charitable work and teach
ing"
Asked why the church believes that
priests cannot register themselves
with the municipal authorities, as the
Mexican law required, the episcopate
replies that by so doing a priest would
subordinate his ministry and the
church properties to lay powers,
which is contrary to the divine con-
stitution of the church, its rights and
dignity, and substitution of civil power
for the churchs power. Furthermore,
it violates the Mexican constitution
itself, which proclaims freedom Of
thought and separation of the church
and state.
