Msgr. Smiths editorial fight
with the Ku Klux Khan in the
1920's is a classic chapter in
The nations story Of journal
ism. When the White-robed
legion threatened the priest
editor, a bodyguard followed
him wherever he went.
The Khan sought to embar-
rass him by planting a woman
spy in a residential home for
women where he lived and
served as chaplain. The Mon
slgnor came home one night
and found the woman in his
room. She had been rifling
through his papers. The Mon
signor Gained the frightened
spy" had long talks with
her and eventually baptized
her in the Catholic Faith.
Among the other contribu-
tons Msgr. Smith made to
Catholic journalism was the
founding of the Register Col
lege of Journalism in Denver,
which has a charter from Col
orado to confer degrees. Sew
eral staff members of the
present Register chain are all
umni of the college.
In June, 1949, Msgr. Smith
was honored by the Spanish
government with the Cross of
Isabella the Catholic. The ci-
tation accompanying the dec
Grafton lauded the M%onsignor
for upholdlng 'unflinchingly
the defense of the undying
principles OF Catholic Spain"
IT ALSO SAID that Msgr,
Smith influenced other jour
nalists and our Catholic broth
edhood in the United States
by his keen writings and his
directional ability"
Msgr. Smiths health was
impaired in an automobile &C
cident in May, 1859. But a
month after the accident, he
was back at his desk, turning
out his Listening In" column
and performing the many
chores he assigned to himself
as editor.

Pope Plus XII, the Archbish-
op was made president of the
P~ontifical Commission for
Motion Pictures, Radio and
Teleyision. He remained presi-
dent when Pope John gave the
commission permanent status
as an office of the Holy See
and empowered it to establish
q film library at the Vatican.
The administrative secretar-
lat to be headed by Cardinal
di Jorio will be less theoret-
ical in its task than other pre-
paratory commissions. But it
will be concerned with the
highly important matters of
arranging and eXpeditlng the
material side of the council.
Cardinal di Jorio brings
vast experience to this task.
In 1918 he was named a mem
Der of the Vatican body now
known as the Institute for
Works of Religion, which is
officially described as having
'the guardianship and admin
istration of capital intended
for religious purposes. For all
practical purposes it is the
banking and investing agen-
cy of the state Of Vatican City.
Coupled with the announce
ment of Cardinal di Jorio's
new post was the one stating
that Father Sebastlon Tromp,
Sd, will be secretary of the
theological preparatory COM
mission for the ecumenical
council. His Eminence Alfre-
do Cardinal OttaVlanI is pres
ident of that commission.
FATHER TRoMP is a pro-
fessor of theology at the Pom
tifical Gregorian University.
He was born in the Neither
lands on March 16. 1889, and
entered the Society of Jesus
in 1907. He was ordained in
1922.
Father Tromp is. a consult
or of the Sacred Congrega-
ton of the Holy Office. of

staff. The equipment includ.

THE YOUNG EDITOR built
the Register into one Of the
most complete newspaper
plants in the country. II has
a staff Of some $50 persons.
There were $500 subscribers
to the Register in 1913. To
day the Register papers have
about 300, 900 subscribers.
Father Smith was ordained
a priest here on June 10,
1928.
HIS SUCCESS with the
Register led Father Smith in
the mid-1920's to petition his
superior, Bishop j. Henry
Then of Denver, to branch
out with a daily Catholic pa
per. 1t was one of the few oc-
caslons that a request of the
prist editor was rejected.
Bishop Then entertained no
doubts that the venture under
Father Smith would succeed.
But he rejected the request
on the ground: You'd work
yourself to death"
Father Smith, however, OBJ
tanned permission to launch
the national edition of the
Register from which the fab
ulous Register system of news
papers grew.
Msgr. Smith-he was named
a domestic prelate in 1888
became known to thousands
through his Listening In"
column in the Register, the
books he wrote and other
writings.
HE LOVED CATHOLIC
journalism. He once said: I'D
rather be editor of the Reg
lister than Cardinal Archbish-
op of New York" Another
time, he said: "Only two
things are more useful than
the Catholic press to the
Church. They are the Mass
and the sacraments."
Msgr. Smith was a stickler
for perfection. He was as
quick in spotting a misplaced
comma as in noticing a garb-
led Biblical allegory. The
bulletin board at the Regis
ter was famous for such no
tees to the staff as: State
is a formal word for say and
should be used only in mat
tiers of importance A
poor writer once edited (the
late) Archbishop John Tt
McNicholas' copy here and
took out state where it
should have been. There was
hell to pay"
Msgr. Smith was tireless in
his role as editor. 1t was said
that he personally p~roofread
and edited every story which
went into the Register. He
knew his way around the COM
posing room, too, and could
even tell when a linotype ma
chine was not in top operat-
ing condition.
Among the MonSignor's
other comments about the.
Catholic press were.
~ don't know anywhere
one can do more for the
Church than as a Catholic
editor"

TO be proud OF many Catholic
papers. They are not exeelled
