OUR CITIES ARE -DEFENDED

New York C!ty alone secures a larger
revenue from land values than do the
much-heralded "unearned Increment"
taxes of all the cities of Germany and
all the taxes of the revolutionary
I.lod George budget of 19')9 com
bined. The total collections of New
ork City from this source amount to
approximately $60. COO. 000 a year. I
think It may fairly be claimed that wa
have made more prowresa In local tax

It mist be remembered, too. that
many activities of the American city
are efficiently performed, our library
systems are models. In this we have
been pioneers. The rapid develop
ment of public and private libraries,
the extension of branches, the opening
of reading-rooms and library centers,
the use of pictures and children's de
partments show the possibilities of our
municipal democracy wt.cn the laws
of the state permit It to grow as It
will.
Commissions come to America to
study our library methods. Just as com
missions go from this country to Ku
roie to study their municipal achieve
ments. The park systems of our cities
are of the same high order. our de
velopment In recent ear lus been
phenomenal. Not only are our parks
generous In area, but thy have bn
laid out by experts in a far-sighted
way. The Boston system Is said to be
the most comprehensive of any In the
world, while those of Chicago. Cleve
land. Philadelphia. Baltimore. Wash

score of lesser cities compare favor

America, too. led the way In play

social center. The exhibits of the
American city In these actlvitlea at

Europe.
From the very beginning our fire de

been m"dcls for foreign cities. Kor the
most part they have been fre from the
spoils system. Merit has been recog
rlied In tiie selection of chiefs. New

of this association that they are sadly

here were all aliens and not as much

do m-ell to leave off their rancorous

to the rehabilitation of their Sunday
schools. It Is with the "encroachments'
of the devil, "who goes about as a roar

devour." that these vigilant shepherds
should be concerned, as It strongly ap
pears that tUe lambs of their fold are
In Imminent and Increasing danger. If.

more Immediate work at hand than
casting sinister and strife-provoking
reflections upon the Catholic hierarchy.
It Is happily and unquestionably true
that the Catholic Church Is making
progress under the Stars and Stripes,
but it is not true to describe- her steady
advance as encroachments upon the
"civil and religious liberties of our
Government." True, liberty Is born of
moral rectitude and spiritual enlight
enment. A man enjoys liberty when he
lives In the secure possession of his
rights. A man. however, secures hli
rights only when those about him dis
charge their duties to him. It Is the
mission of the Catholic Church and the
hierarchy through which she energises
to make men dutiful, virtuous, religious
and law-abiding. With these ends in
view, she builds her own Christian
nchools, that she may rescue her chil
dren from the blighting plague of irre
llglon and indifference and teach them
life's great business, the saving of their
Immortal souls. The business of sal
vation means the formation of Christ
In childish mind and conscience. It
means keeping the commandments, re
spect for legitimate authority. In fam
ily, state and church: it means definite
convictions aa to the sacredness of
marriage and the responsibilities aris
ing therefrom: In fine. Catholio train
ing means good citizens for this world
and for the world to come.
When men seek the kingdom of God
the temporal blessings of National well-
being are added unto them, so harmo
niously has God blonded our temporal
with our eternal Interests. In the light
of the church's distinct and emphatic
teaching. In the light of American
Catholic history. In the full face of her
majestic proportions and splendid serv
ice, it Is hard to account for the malig
nant impulse that prompted a body or
ministers to frame so Injurious a reso
lution. If theee Baptist ministers choose to
look upon the political preferment
which some Catholic may have fairly
obtained as an "encroachment of the
Catholic hierarchy." I wonder what
euphemism they employ to designate
their own machinations In theJr pulpits
and out of them with a view to politi
cal domination. I suppose our liberties,
both civil and religious, are to be en
trusted with filial docility to the gen
try of the Willamette Association, and
that the 15.000,000 Catholics of this
country should behave like corpses In
the conduct of this democratic and rep
resentative Government.
The Catholics of this country will al
ways endeavor to secure for themselves
a weight and Influence In the affairs
of our Government proportionate to
their numerical strength. As self-respecting
men they cannot bo content
with less, and as fair-minded men they
will never ask for more. But the gov
ernmental influence which Catholics
may be called upon to wield, aa tima
goes on. and their numbers increase
and bigotry dies away, will not be sub
versive of our liberties. The history of
Catholic Maryland, and. nearer home,
the biography of the great pioneer con
vert. I'r. John McLoughlin. are both
eloquent testimonies to the eordlal good
will and kindly fraternallsm which
characterizes the tine Catholic in his
dealings with Ms non-Catholic fellows.
And more than that. It Is generally con
ceded by the enlightened and thought
ful men of our country that the Catho
lic Church Is the one Institution which
our country possesses, endowed with
moral power sufficient to make her the
Nation's Impregnable bulwark against
the Incoming tide of materialistic an
archy. It wss a Protestant minister
who said recently that the Catholic
Church was the cement which was hold
ing our civilisation together. There
are many outside the Catholic Church
who would Indorse this clergyman's
opinion. I commend It to the calm con
sideration of the Willamette Associa
tion. So let the members of this Baptist
bodv forget the Catholic hierarchy and
devote themselves more assiduously to
the "encroachments" of the evil ono
and the needs of their Sunday scnoois.
A year of zealous effort along the lines
so franklv pointed out by their good
monitor. Mr. Libby. mill doubtless Im
prove the methods of their schools and
ameliorate somewhat the rudeness, dis
order and discourtesy of their preco
cious offsprings.
