Discusses the In France St Paul Minn Dec his mon at the cathedral Archbishop land reviewed the situation m France saying in I know the people of France to be Catholic How then explain the ical There aie several tauses to be noted The masses are hot used to political life For ages they were governed they do not com- prehend the art of governing An in- dependent suffrage has not entered into the popular life Nor is there among the masses the ambi- tion to gam political victory Paris for a century and a half has ruled France There is no country where a well-organized and stirring fraction of the population can sway so easily the masses and impose upon them at will The clergy who are now the chief sufferers are much to blame They too have retained even at the altar and in the pulpit the spirit of passive obedience inherited from old regimes Their example and their preaching have left disciples in the same passivity and these know nothing of the public defense of principles Speaking

Catholics seek the welfare of country and of church within the ranks of loyal ad- herents to the republic Had Leo been listened to France in all ability would have escaped the persecution of the present day Monarchial Ideas and have done dreadful injury to the church in France 5 TREASURE ON THE OHIO Customs Officials Make a Raid on the Big Battleship CURIOS FROM THE FAR EAST Enough Rare Works
