CIVILIZATION AND
CATHOLICISM


Is Catholicism opposed to civilization?
NO.
The answer bases itself upon all
history. No student worthy of the
name who peruses the story Of the
world can but be impressed with the
fact that it was organized Christian
ity, the Catholic Church, that laid
the foundation for all present-day
civilization, including the American
in its struggle against paganism, be-
ginning in the days when Catholics
fled the wild beasts and the faggots
of prosecuting Roman emperors
down through the days when all
ChriStendom looked to the Papacy
not only for spiritual guidance but
by the common consent of all nations
for neutral arbitration of their dis
puteS, for protection of humble SUBJ
jects against tyrants and for inspira-
ton in letters and the arts, until
Catholic armies under the great
Catholic King John SobieSki at the
siege of Vienna in the seventeenth
century completed the work of the
Catholic Ferdinand and Isabella in
Spain by the final repulse of pagan
armed hordes from Europe.
It has often been asserted that
however Catholic thought may have
led the medieval development OF
metaphysics, politics and art, it lags
behind in these modern times OF
science and is in conflict with the
particularly American spirit of today
In passing, it might be remarked that
there might have been no America
much less an American spirit, with
out Columbus and that equally Cath
olic explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, who
gave his name to this continent
Neither of them could have crossed
the sea without the invention Of an.
other Catholic, one Gioja, responsible
for the mariners compass. The
Cabots, father and son, who discover
ed the North American Continent fol-
Protestant England, were Catholics
themselves, as were Copernicus, who
first declared the earth to be round
Magellan, who first circumnavigated
1t and literally hundreds of the other
pioneers who revealed the beauty and
usefulness of the new world.
Catholic missionaries discovered
the first copper in the United States
and the first oil In Pennsylvania
they were first to plant wheat on the
western prairies and oranges and
lemons in California and Florida
first to plant sugar in the south. The
Catholic university at Lima, Peru
was founded in 1851, long antedating
the colleges of the north. It had the
first public library in the new world
Father White. in Maryland, establish
ed the first printing press in the
United States and maintained it un-
til it was destroyed by Gov Berkeley
of Virginia, June 20, 1871. The first
newspaper and the first book in
America were put out by Catholics.
Catholics led in even more modern
and practical fields. Thomas LLOYD
a Catholic, was the father Of Ameri-
can shorthand and the first reporter

PAINTING PICTURES TO SELL
 IS BAD FOR ART, SAYS CRITIC

PARIS, May S-Picture-selling almost ruins art, says Andre Lhote, artist and critic.
 Young artists, and some old ones, too, he says. grope for a form of expression that will make their work saleable.
 "They spend a season on cub ism, another on superrealism and a few months later they turn back to the flattest sort of realism, says this modernist, who thinks too many moderns fit their art theories to saleability instead of really expressing" themselves as they pretend.
 Lhote also takes to task the trained artists who think they have found a substitute for hard. careful work by putting "the most paint possible on the canvas" ]" thinking thereby to show their temperament in a spirited and az gressive manner"
 All this, he feels, is done with an eye on the market and until the sale of pictures ceases to be the sole object of young painters things will go badly in art.

LOCAL HUNTER
 ASSAULTED BY
 WOUNDED BEAR
John M. Kailer Kills Grizz- ly with Revolver When
 Unable to Use Rifle

Attacked by grizzly bear he had just wounded, probably fatal ly, John M. Kailer, former em- ployee of the Alaska Juneau, yes terday morning successfully stood off the attacks of the infuriated animal and completed his kill with a A caliber Colts revolver. Be- sides the skin of his trophy, Kali CT has several contusions on his face as souvenirs of his encounter.
 Kailer, with a companion, Bob Gordon, went to Montana Greek Sunday for a short hunt. About 6 a. m Monday, while Gordon was trailing a black bear some dis tance away, Kailer rounded a large snow bank to run almost on top of grizzly. He estimated the distance at about eight feet The bear immediately charged.
 With but time for a single shot, Kailer drilled the animal in the breast, the ball travelling almost entirely through it's body. It was on him before he could fire a second shot from the rifle. He then dropped that weapon and put his heavy revolver into action. It took Il shots to bring the grizz- ly down, all of them fired into it's body at point blank range. In the melee, Kailer received slight scratches on the nose and side of the face and neck. One claw rip ped open a small cut in his upper lip
 He returned to town yesterday evening with his trophy. The skin measures seven feet and two inches in length.

CHINATOWN IS
 SEEKING FAVOR

BOSTON, May 8-Boston's Chi. natown is becoming increasingly deslrous of the good will of the rest of Boston
 The community now is under strict orders from it's leaders to see that members do not incur the displeasure of the authorities or the general public.
 The Chinese district never has been commercialzed by tourist agencies after the manner of such districts in some other cities. Lit tie stores selling strange oriental goods and foods, eating places that are strictly Chinese, a Chi nese theatre. Chinese merchants association, a school for Chinese children where they are trained after public school hours, are all found within it's borders.
 Of late some of the leaders have feared that the rest of Boston might get the impression that Chinatown was a place where law breakers gathered instead of a re- spectable community of Chinese business men. So civic and busi- ness organizations called meet ing and the order went forth to Chinese organizations to refrain from even the semblance of evil doing.
 Residents, taking their reform movement seriously, have deter mined to try the American custom of going out for Sunday after noon walk" instead of remaining indoors, and the idea has found great favor.
