The question of the “Open Shop”
has been forced upon the people of
this’ country by recent developments
in the long drawn out controversy
between Labor and Capital. It Is one
that our readers—that all citizens,
indeed—should study in order that
they may form just conclusions upon
which to base their political action.
In these circumstances we deem it
appropriate to give a Catholic view
of the question at issue.. This is
taken from the recent number of
“America," tho weekly review pub-
lished by the Jesuit Fathers, and is
from the pen of the Rev, Ignatius W.
Cox, S. J. He writes, in part:
"This zeal of employers for the
open shop Is a real smoke-screen be-
hind which they are waging a battle
to destroy the workers’ organization
without which collective bargaining
is impossible. It is a drive to disor-
ganize Labor. Here it is well to re-
member a fact, which most people
seem to overlook, that the employers
are reserving to themselves a right
of organization and collective action
of which they seem determined to de-
prive the workers. There has been
progressive and nation-wide organ-
ization of employers in associations
for collective action, which are many
times more powerful than the organ-
izations of the workers. These asso-
ciations have at their disposal great
resources, powers of reserve and
ability to endure against strike, can
summon mighty forces from all parts
of the country, and can afford to
spend such sums in conflict that with
the national organization of Labor
destroyed they would enjoy an in-
dustrial absolutism complete and ir-
resistible. There was an example of
their power last year, when manufac-

Bishop Drossaert's Approbation.
To Whom It May Concern:
In my two years as the Catholic
Bishop of this diocese I have found
out that the poorest classes of my
faithful ones are Mexicans, Catholics
almost by natural disposition. But
because of poverty and the different
ways of lilting in this country they are
falling off from the Catholic religion
into indifferentism or other religious
sects just to get some material ad-
vantages for Ute.
Those people need more education
and instruction about our religion
and that should be given them in the
most simple way and language. Af-
ter thinking it over carefully I do not
see any other way to reach them than
a paper dedicated only to counteract
the anti-Cathollc propaganda among
The greatest menace to tho country
to-day is not from without but from

the safety o-r every nation depends.

speak the English language, but he
has high religious ideals that furnish
him with a code of morality that

“Poland has chosen her own gov-

is intolerable that any country from
outside should come In and impose
upon her a government which she
does not want." Who was it said
that? Mr. Lloyd George, Prime Min-
ister of England. Could he not truth-
fully repeat that with “Ireland" sub-
stituted for “Poland"? Of course
lie could. The Irish have been say-
ing it over and over again for the last
few years, end for saying it many
thousands of them have been impris-
oned, many thousand of their homes
have been raided, their newspapers
suppressed and their National Parlia-

such hypocrisy?—The Tablet.

San Antonio, Aug. 31, 1920.
We commend, especially to our
women readers, careful perusal and
study of the article on our first page
on Catholic Women and the Coming
Election, containing the views of
the venerable and beloved Cardinal:
Gibbons on this timely and very
important matter. His Eminence
points out the duty of Catholic wo-
men to register and vote, especially
in the coming presidential election.
“It behooves Catholic women," he
declares, “to take upon themselves
this now social duty, and so to exer-
cise it that their influence shall
minimize the evil forces that through
this extension of the suffrage now
menace the most essential factors
in Christian civilization, namely, the
family and the home.”
The admonition Is needed, tor the
experience of those States which
have had female suffrage for a num-
ber of years shows that a great many
are indifferent to
the franchise and neglect to exer-
cise it. WJjatever may be one’s views
regarding 'the'wisdom or expediency
of extending the'right of suffrage to
women in ’ the first place, it Is ob-
viously the duty of all good women,
now that the franchise is the tin, to
strive to realize the importance of
the gift that has been, bestowed upon
them, and the great responsibility
which its possession Imposes. It is
a responsibility which they cannot in
conscience neglect or evade. Social-
ists, radicals, and various non-Catho-
lic groups are training and prepar-
ing their women to vote. Catholics
must do the same, if they wish to
preserve their religious rights and
civil liberties from possible molesta-
tion by hostile political agitators.

In fact, since that time there has
been a tireless activity among the I
Methodist workers here. In Vienna
and the lesser cities of the country
there are numerous “missions," and
temporary'churches. In the Eighth
District of Vienna they have even es-
tablished a "bishop’s church."

A SPLENDID TESTIMONIAL
TG JUDGE JAS. R. DAVIS.
A splendid public testimonial of
esteem for the Hou. James R. Davis,
former County Judge of Bexar Coun-
ty, on the occasion of his voluntary
retirement from public office after
seven-and-a-half years of faithful
and most efficient service, was ten-
dered him in’the form of a brilliant
banquet in his honor at the Gunter
Hotel on Tuesday night.
There were present about 140 gen-
tlemen prominent In. the public, pro-
fessional and commercial life of the
city and county. It was a notable
and truly representative gathering,
and the motive which inspired it. was
most creditable alike to the citizen-
ship of San Antonio and to the guest
of honor. Rarely, if ever, In local
political history have such honors
been shown to a public officer as
were showered upon Judge Davis on
this occasion. The eloquent tributes
paid to the honored guest by the
speakers of the evening were enthu-
siastically applauded by the com-
pany, and when, toward the close, the
judge arose to reply, he received a
veritable ovation, which was repeat-
ed with even increased in tens! ty
when he had finished speaking.
In a letter from one of San An-
tonio’s leading merchants, which was
read by the toastmaster, It was earn-
estly urged that Judge Davis be put
forward as a candidate for Governor
of Texas two years hence. The sug-
gestion was caught up so earnestly
by tbe audience and mentioned with
such warm approval by some of the
speakers, that it is more than likely
it will ba heard from again.
Mr, John B. Carrington was toast-
master and the speakers of the eve-
ning were Mr. R. J. Boyle, Congress-
man Carlos Bee, Mayor Sam C. Beit,
Dr. W. B. Russ, William Campbell,
Dr. John II. Burleson, and the hon-
or guest himself, who delivered s
very felicitous and touching re-
sponse.
Judge Davis and his estimable
: family are members of St. Mary's
parish. He Is a charter member of ,
Sun Antonio Couacfl, No. 786,
Knights of Colurabua and past grand
knight of the same ; past district dep- '
uty of the San Antonio district, and f
past State deputy supreme knight ,
of the order in Teres. The record ,
speaks for Itself.—Evidently he is .
one of the few prophets who are not j
without honor among his own people.
The conditions prevailing in
publication business at this time, and
which have forced so many Catholic
papers to retire from the field for
lack of adequate support, oblige us
again to call tho attention of read-
ers of the SOUTHERN MESSENGER
to a business question. We are deep-
ly gratified and profoundly grateful
for the generous and practically
unanimous "endorsement of the recent
advance in our subscription rates.
It has fortified our determination to
spare no effort and shun no sacrifice
to maintain tho high standard of ex-
cellence which has always been our
'aim, and, with God’s help, so to im-
prove on the past as to make the
SOUTHERN MESSENGER stilll more
worthy of its mission aa a religious
newspaper and the official organ of
the five Bishops of Texas.
But there is one thing still want-
ing. Our subscription rates are now
on A fair and sound financial basis,
corresponding to existing conditions
In other lines of business, but It is
essential that tho subscription price
be paid promptly in advance. This
is the rule with all reputable pa-
pers. If we have been lox in apply-
ing it in ths past, because we were
reluctant to cut of! old subscribers
when they fell behind, we are oblig- turers threatened to boycott the dis-
ed to: apply it strictly now when
times; are so different, and tho prices
of everything that go into the make-
up of a newspaper are so high.
We; venture, then, to ask the kind
co-operation, of our friends in this re-
gard. :We ask thera :to renew their
lls* tio'n, by sending cask in'adya,.„„ to.

Methodism were such in name only.
The abundant disbursements of
money did much to keep the "congre-

Notwithstanding their lavish gifts
and clever practices the Methodist
Church could not develop Itself in
Old Austria. The sect did not belong

The latest news from Ireland
shows that the British government
is carrying out its policy of terror-
ism with a ferocity which recalls
the days and deeds of Oliver Crom-
well. 1 _
lin, by Universal Service, relate cir-
cumstantially how the town of Bal-
briggan was raided on Tuesday night
by three truck loads of policemen,
armed with rifles and bombs, who
fired indiscriminately up and down
the streets and hurled the bombs
into houses. The raid was alleged
to be a, reprisal for the killing of a
police inspector.
"The people of Balbriggan," adds
the dispatch, "are out on the roads,
fleeing in pitiful groups strikingly
reminiscent of the days when the Ger-
mans crashed down over the Belgian
frontiers. Weeping women carry ba-
bies in their arms. Others trudge
along with children at their heels,
hauling little handcarts loaded with
food. Isome few have straggled to
Dublin, only eighteen miles from
Balbriggan."
"The mills of Balbriggan," wires
the correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, "the power loom weaving
center of South Ireland, are a smok-
ing waste, most of the residences
and shops are in ashes, two men have
been murdered in cold blood by the
British police, while long Hues of re-
fugees are streaming over the coun-
tryside and neighboring towns in a
search for shelter."
When such scenes as these took
place in Belgium, in time of open
war, the indignation of the civilized
world was aroused; the sympathy of .
all that is best in humanity was stir-
red in behalf of tho gallant little
nation fighting for its life and lib-
erties, and the feelings thus engen-
dered contributed in no small degree j
to the ultimate defeat and downfall
of its brutal aggressor. Will history
repeat itself? It Is a struggle of ,

Catholics, 'taken generally, ought

beyond those of any other religion-
