Archbishop Arrested in 1917.

Most Rev. Orozoco Jiminez, who
headed the Mexican delegation to the
Eucharistic Congress at Chicago last
wear, was arrested in Zacatecas, Mex

Miguel de la Mora, Bishop of Zacate-

in a plot TO further the plans of Villa.
He was exiled from Mexico amid
storms of protest from Catholic circles
IN various countries and eventually
was allowed to return.
When the new religious laws of
Mexico went into effect last Summer
Archbishop Jiminez sent a letter
throughout his jurisdiction, together
with thousands of catechisms, advis-

Catholic school in which to assemble
the children from the surrounding
neighborhood for religious instruction.

riots there arrived here today accom-

strain and excitement of their flight.
PEKING, January Is Hostility
toward foreigners in China seems to
be gathering momentum as dispatches
pour in from widely separated sec
tions relating to antiforeign agita-
ton and violence.
The northern and the southern fac.
tions, which have been engaged in
civil war for months. announced sim.
liar programs for eradication of
foreign influence and rights in China
as a means of rallying adherents to
the rival governments-the Peking
and the Cantonese, or Nationalist.
Old Canard Revived.
The old Boxer canard of 26 years
ago, that foreigners were killing
Chinese babies, was revived yesterday
in Foochow to arouse the Chinese to
violence. Chinese mobs ranged the
tacking foreign mission churches and
hospitals and beating a number of
missionaries.
Spanish priests and nuns fed in dis
guise as a mob swept over church
premises as result of a story that
Spanish nuns had murdered some 20
Chinese babies and that their decom-
posed bodies had been brought out of
the nunnery.
All Catholic churches and schools in
Foochow were looted by the Chinese,
who also sacked a number of Protest
ant institutions. The 10000 National
ist soldiers in the city did nothing to
halt the fury of the mobs, and 1t was
asserted that many Northern soldiers
enrolled in the Nationalist ranks led
in the attack upon the foreigners.
White persons continued to evacu-
ate the inland province of Szechwan.

Anti-Foreign Feeling High.

There is much anti-Christian feeling
in Shensi Province, where the So
called Christian general, Feng Yu-
Hsiang, recently returned to command
of the Kuominchun troops, which he
headed before the government they
supported was ousted from Peking in
April by other militarists.
Letters stated that some of the pow
erful leaders in Shensi were urging
the coolies to mob action, and that
posters and handbills were being cir
culated in denunciation of Christian
ity. Christmas celebrations had been
broken up in Sianfu, capital of Shensi,
and signs over church doors smashed.
Most of the English Baptist mission
aries had evacuated the province.

The Changed Attitude

If citizen of this city wants anything from
the city government whether it be the repair of
street or permit for building, he approaches
the city hall with question in his mind as to what
politician he should take with him.
He understands that if he has the most just
cause he will get no place if his demand nterferes
with the perqusites the prejudces of the politi
clans.
When delegations approach the mayor, they I'M
derstand that the decision will always be made with
reference to future political effect.
If the same citizen wanted the same thing from
the head of big corporation public utility, he
would ask for it on a bass>o pure business.
That change in attitude is of the changes
that will come with the adoption of the city manager
system Of government
In cities where it is now in effect citizens no
longer think of their city government in terms of
politics They understand that it is business
matter.
The change in of the chief executive officer
would be worth while, for it would change the pop
ular thought city affairs.
The mayor is always the politician. The mana
ger is always the business executive.
At the election June 81 the people will vote
on the adoption of the plan which is so successful
in growing and prosperous cities
If Indianapolis decides to abolish party politics
from its city government it will have taken the first
step toward real freedom.

The Great American Home

In-the not too distant future it is conceivable
that there will appear architecture that will
truly express American temperament and character.
AT present, three four styles seem to be domi>
nant. The Spanish influence holds sway through
the South and West The East favors English Tudor
and the Colonial influence.
The real American architecture will not be COM
bination of either ALL but something of marked
individuality. In building design, America has pro-
duced the skyscraper truly American in every con-

An Indian Gift

Two methods of aiding the Mississippi flood vic
Tins available to the Administration. One was
to appropriate money from the Governments bursting
treasury present it to the, stricken people The
other was arrange for the banks to lend the needed
money.
The Administration chose the latter method
The banks will be assisted in the business of lend
ing money and they will lend at low rate of
interest. But it will be oan just the same and the
recipients will have to pay it back Mortgages will
take of that.
The total loss resulting from the flood is estimated
by Herbert Hoover at s4OOOOOoOO Of course, that
doesn't mean that the people in the lower Mississippi
valley going to be loaned any such sum- but by
curious coincidence the Governments present treasury
surplus is in the neighborhood of that same large
figure The money is available to give if that amount
needed.
A much less sum will actually go into rehablitat-
ing the stricken districts. good many millions will
be needed but nothing like $4Oo,OOOO0O The greater
part of the $4OOOOO0OO damage will be written off
complete loss That would be the case whether the
money were allotted as loan gift.
1t is just question of getting great section of
the country back its feet The present Govern
mcnts idea is that this should be done with money
that must be earned and repad-with interest-in
the course of the coming years.
The disaster from which these people are suffering
can not be called altogether an act of God Men we're
in part responsible
The development of the north has contributed to
some extent to the wrecking of the South The flood
waters part of then from remote States At all
events it was national disaster and the whole Nation
should take the responsibility
1t is not necessary to shovel Out funds from the
treasury without looking to see where it goes This
work of rehabilitation be carried on as carefully
the relief work of the Cross 1t can be managed
just as skifuly with gift money as with loaned money
Just what principle prevents the Government do
ing this is hard to We gave $260O00OO to famine
sufferers in. Russia We didn't lend them that amount
and ask them to repay it-wth interest Surely the
love for Russians isn't greater in Government circles
than the love for Americans, even Americans below
the Mason and Dixon line.
For years private ship owners have been seeking
cash subsidy from the Government They haven't got
it yet but their efforts have the support of the present
Administration.
SO it can't be the principle of the thing What is
it? It's all very puzzling.

Patrioteers

New York World headline writer uses the word
"patrioteers"
Our dictionary New International, 1929, in
cudeS no such word.
That as we see it, is the fault of the dictionary
and not the word
1t is most excellent to describe the army of pro-
fessional patriots now tunning the land. This crew
OF headhunters pounces upon most every one who
presses an independent idea and relates it to some
sinister plan to undermine the country.
The cards are all stacked in their favor Nothing
Is so difficult to stand up under IS the charge of
lack OF patriotism And this gang of professional pa
triots hooks everything from birth control to plans
to modify local taxation schemes with patriotism
They are in land already too much
given to mass thinking and mass action. They have
much in common with "profteers." They take ad-
vantage OF the individual and demand not his money
but his independence, which is quite as precious
There should be label for them.
"Patrioteers" is excellent. We congratulate the

ton Of his word

By a Yard Stick

We make the mistake of trying
to measure the possibilities of
aviation with a yard stick.
The big idea is not to fly here. or
fly there, but to improve and per-
feet the mechanism of fight until
it can be employed with safety and
profit
If the airplane promised no more
than to open up a new realm of
thrills, we would do well to de-
Stroy it.
We have fed on thrills too long
already and are thinking too much
about first prizes and daredevil
stunts.
1t is natural, of course, for people
to get excited over a newly dis
covered power and to measure its
possibilities by the entertainment it
affords rather than by the service it
can be made to render.
