she would seek a lawyer immediately.
“Ro*a” le Hie “Girl.”
Mrs. Hummers declared her husband
was not supporting her and her little
girl, and charged that he had kept her
at home for several months, refusing
to allow her to go down town. She
said he had informed her that "Rose'*
was his "girl,” remarking:
"I wouldn’t have my girl see me on
tho street with you for anything.”
The wife testified that her husband
would not buy clothes for her and the
child, and would not put the latter In
school.
Judge Broyles suggested that Sinn-,
mors was probably using his money In
buying clothing for "Rose,” and had
none left for his family.
Mrs. Hummers said she married Hum.
mera nine .y ears ago. In Iaawrenceville,
and declared he had not bought her a
pair of sh»K»s In five years.
Denied the Chargee.
Hummers denied the charges of his
wife, asserting she hud been luduced to
take court nytlon against him by some
people who didn't like him.
•It la simply your cruel treatment
that has done It/* interposed the re
corder.
The husband admitted "Rose” had
been writing to him, but protested he
wus Innocent of any wrong doing at
all. He also said the reason he didn't
want his wife to go out was because he
had no money to buy her clothes and
dlc^i't want her to be on the streets
looking worse than any one else.
He explufned that he was bitten by a
maddog on August 34 and that thla
incapacitated him for work for aome
time, causing him to become Involved
in debt. He also declared lie had tried
to get his child in school, Imt fulled

Continued from Pag# On*.
r *hdr pope being such a wicked, un-
Iriipulous monster apd naturally ask
7 ", or nnv of these charge* are true
r nroven. a few hiftorlcal facts may
l.in us to a better understanding of
the true nsture of this French proo-
The concordat.
The French* revolution seised and
»nflseated millions worth of church
nrooertv. drove thousands of priests
!nd blfihops out of Franc*, and almost
■acceeded In uprooting th* Catholic
:,ij,rjon there. When Napoleon com

.■nnstrurt the frame work of 1iis.gov-
eminent. h*' found that no stable force

lad been done elsewhere, but he gave
tin the idea and opened* negotiations
vith the vutlcan. He was unwilling to
hand back the stolen riches t» the
iliurch or to restore her 4.0 the former
Influence nnd power, but he wanted n
,i Mr jitio to the stolen church proper
ty hr wanted the re-establishment of
the old religion, und so he drew up ;*
, PX[ ,,f ;i treaty containing seventeen
.ho,, clauses or articles, which lie
. alter! concordat, and presented it m
tho pope. Among the articles of the
concordat it Is clearly stated that, the
rathotic religion shall be freely exe.r-
(i.ied in Fiance; that remuneration
«hall be given the clergy as compensa
tion or interest for the church property
tiken from them, etc.
This concordat lasted from 1801 to
it was not a fair compensation
for all the plunder and ruin caused by
,hp revolution, but It afforded millions
( .f Catholics the right of preaching their
religion In their own country: it lifted
thousands of clergy ou: .of misery and
.alkd hack numbers of priests from
,-xile. It survived seven separate re
gime* in France; served ns the basis ot
International canon law for 104 years.
; ,nd proved a tolerably satisfactory
•modus vivendi” between the rival and
„ftrn antagonistic claims of church
and stht*■ In France.
During that long period not one sin
gle instance can bo adduced 'where the
Ik>!v sf'O violated either the spirit or
th#*’ letter <»f this treaty of 1801. But
,an tli* some be said of the state? As
ha been said of another famous treaty,
it was broken “ere the Ink wherewith
*tn-a.« writ was dry,” and broken of-
fleiallv by the so-called organic articles.
Talk about the church persecuting the
tatc is like the story of the lamb per-
(•cmiting tho wolf.
The Catholic religion was to be freely
fXGvlied In France, nnd In defiance of
her teachings and laws—the state
passed the divorce laws, the military
fur clerics, the educational laws,
Jaws against religions orders, laws
forbidding bishop or priest to meet
without an order from the police, law*
putting the clergy of France on the
.-fihn list like, the gendarmes, Taw*
forcing religious communities to pay
double nr treble the tax of ordinary
< itl/.ciis i n dinary ?orporattons, final
ly laws making nil religions outlaws,
and licensing infidelity In the homo and
gotHes-ii--*' in the school. And this in
open defiance of an International trea
ty!
Franc", i country officially acknowl
edging th* 1 Catholic religion to be the
religion <»f the state, putting an active
free thinker and professed infidel as
head of tho ecclesiastical bureau in
ParlC With authority to select tho
priests pioposed to Home for Episcopal,
consecration, from whom pastors goti
their appointment* and parishers their
pastors.
The schools and lyceen were cram- i
mod with anti-Christian teachers: ,
priests were deprived of their sa!ary(?);
for teaching the Catechism or deuounc-
Ing divorce or Insisting upon Sunday!
observance. Then to prepare for the I
repudiation of the concordat, the gov-'
ernment subsidised a whole anti-cleric- ,
a! press; and papers, daily or weekly.;
Illustrated or not. flooded the country, i
endless i:i variety and numberless, and
all vehemently or Insidiously attacked
the church and rellgkn. Uthvrs-ecoffed
and jeered at Christian morality, in
venting scandal* on priests and nuns,
and painting them in such odious
ors that people would not bill look
upon clergymen os hypocritical rakes
and repulsive ratjrs.
Other papers. again, circulated
among children at school, Instilling Into
tlieir minds contempt for religion, dis
trust and hatred of priests, while some
rags, waiving a’l deoency. minister to
the most abject passions of corrupt
human nature, throwing wide the gates
of scurrilous obscenity, and rotted to
the very core of society—pictures, bills,
notices, reviews, papers and cheap
novels followed suit, and moral life
In the country began to sink beneath a
deluge of unspeakable filth.
Having thus prepared the country,
the government proceded to wipe out
tljo concordat and make new laws for-
the church f»o drastic In nature as to be
almost incredible in the twentieth cen
tury. A convenient quarrel with the
holy see was gtvon ns an excuse and
tile famous act of separation became a
law.
Without a word of warning, without
even a reasonable excuse, a bi-lateral
contract was abrogated and church and
state separated. This repudiation was
a violation of the natural law. against
the Jaw of nation, against the public
fidelity due a treaty, and all to repu
diate national obligations and to per
secute a church.-
When separation became a law. thej
church should at least have been left i
free, but such was not the intention of
the rulers of France. A new law was
proposed, the law of parish association,
by which all church affairs were to •>«
turned over to a lay tribunal appointed
by the state. An impossible alterna
tive was proposed to the pope under
pain of confiscation of all churches,
cathedrals, bishops’ and priests’ houses,
seminaries, church lands, etc. The
government proclaims that it has “sep
arated” church and state. That is not
They have robbed the church and
made a new concordat, a concordat de
void of concord and of orthodoxy, a
one-sided contract which no one can
accept or follow unless he first becomes
a Schismatic. Here we have an athe
istical government directing the bark
of Peter and seating Itself on the throne
of the vicar of Christ.
Foreign Authority in^Franc*.
I notice that Cleinenceau has hit
upon a now argument. Xo foreigner
can interfere in French affairs, but the
pope is a foreigner, therefore.
Plus X Is not a Frenchman, and
thank God for It. But religion, like
science, Is not confined within any
territorial frontier*. The Frenchman
who. on the grounds of patriotism,
would refuso to accept tho discoveries
of a foreign scientist, would cover him
self with ridicule. It Is the same with
religious truth und government. The
nationality of the Master and Head is
nut In question. It is a question of the
