57 North “Pryor Street—Next to the Equitable Building.■
Baltimore, Afd., Dee. 14.—Cardinal
Gibbons has made a lengthy statement
regarding the church crisis in France.
In part he says:
“I am weighing my words, and I say
with deliberate conviction that the
leaders of the present French govern
ment are actuated by nothing less
than hatred of religion.
“In France the Jacobin party Is not
dead. Their spirit is as living today
as It was in the last decade of the
eighteenth .century. They hate God,
they hate Christ, they hate His religion
as much as ever their fathers hated
them.
“They Hate Christianity."
“They are almost scientific In the
means they take to suppress Christian
ity. And yet, the utterances of such
men are received as unsuspectingly by
many Americans as would be a dls
course by Mr. Cleveland of Mr. Roose
velt or Mr. Taft—men who recognize
the powerful inlluence that religion
play* In promoting the welfare of so
ciety.
“It Is easy to show that I am not
misrepresenting the spirit of anti-cler
icals. They make no secret of their ha
tred of Christianity. They avow it in
the press and In the chambers.
What M. Briand Said.
“M. Briand said In an addresa to
school teachers:
“ ‘The time has come to root up from
the minds of French children the an
cient faith which has served Its pur
pose and replace It with the light of
free thought. It Is time to get rid of
the Christian idea. We have hunted
Jesus Christ but of the army, the navy,
the schools, the hospitals, insane and
orphan asylums, law courts, and now
we must hunt Him out of the state
altogether.'
“The present conflict dates back to
the year 1880, when a large number of
religious houses were closed by the
government, and their occupants dis
persed. From that time scarcely a year
has passed without some annoyance to
‘—n series of petty acts of
discrimination that were bound, in the
the church-
long run, to call for a protest. The pro
test came in the form of a personal
letter from Pope Deo XIII to President
Grevy, In May, 1883. In spite of the
pontiff's reasonable objections the In
jurious laws were passed.
Religion Was Banished.
'As far as possible, God and religion
were - banished from the schools and
hospitals, the oath deprived of Its re
ligious characters, and clerics pressed
Into the military service.
Next, In 1901, the law of associations
was passed, causing untold misery to
thousands. By it the schools In charge
of religious orders were forced out of
existence. The members of the differ
ent religious congregations, not only

male, but female as well, were cast
upon the world. Many of these were
old, and had spent a lifetime within
the convent walls.
“Finally, in December, 1905, the con
cordat was dissolved and separation
of church and state proclaimed.
“It Is essential to bear In mind that
the concordat was a genuine contract
and that this contract was annulled by
one of the parties, the French govern
ment, with no regard to the wishes of
the other party.
Disregards Property Rights.
“Perhaps the feature of the situation
that will surprise us most and call for
our Just Indignation as Americans Is
the French government's absolute
disregard for the property rights of the
church.
“Provisions are made obligatory for
organizing Catholic worship without
nny proper reference to the duly au
thorized officers of the church.
“This is the point to which the holy
father has objected most strenuously.
The provision for associations of wor
ship opens the way for schlsmatlcal
organizations, which, in fact, have In
a few cases been already attempted,
Will Lead to Destruction.
“The law of separation, if accepted,
111 inevitably lead to the destruction
of religious liberty, Just as the law of
associations led to the destruction of
religious congregations.
“It Is not separation alone that the
holy father is repudiating, but tyranny
In the guise of separation. Hence, It
was imperative upon him to resist.”
FOR TUNE OF $168,000
PAID OUT AS FINES
New York, Dec. 14.—It took 70 gold
certificates to pay a fine of $168,000 for
rebating, the largest yet Imposed by a
Federal court.
More than a score of government of
ficials and attaches of the United States
formed a circle around Commissioner
Shields' desk to see Tompkins K. Mc-
Ilvalne, of Parsons, Cioason & McII-
valne, hand over ten $10,000 bills, two
$5,000 bills and flfty-elght $1,000 bills.
Of this, $98,000 went to pay the fines
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, of New Jersey, for collecting and
accepting rebates from the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad,
the other $70,000 being charged up
against the sugar trust's subsidiary
corporation, the Brooklyn Cooperage
Company, for a like offense.
Commissioner Shields Immediately
tucked the fine Into his wallet and
started on a run for the bank.
