Chicago.—(Special). —A dispatch
to the Daily News frOrn William H.
Stoneman at Moscow says that the
Roosevelt-Litvinov agreement guaran
teeing religioug liberty for Ameri-
cans in the Soviet Union has not
checked the relentless campaign of
the Gay-Pay-Oo (soviet secret police)
against ministers of the Gospel in
Russia. No less than seventy-five
clerics of German extraction, includ-
ing forty-two Catholic priests and
thirty-three Lutheran pastors, are
held in Bolshevist prisons and la-
bor camps. Of this number nine-
teen, including ten Catholic priests
and nine Lutheran ministers, have
been arrested since the Gay-Pay-Oo
began its most recent drive last
October. Some ten others were re-
leased after the intervention of the
International Red Cross. Most of
the unfortunate clerics are from the

PRIEST ORDERING GIRL FROM

-O-
San, Luis, Argentina, March 13.
Civil and religious authorities sought
today to smooth out a conflict which
began over a low-neck dress and end
ed in a gun fight Sunday.
The Rev. Father Juan Guerrera
told Senarita Elida Daucunda to
leave Mass when he deemed her ap-
parel immodest. He threatned to
call police to eject her if she did
not leave peacefully.
Outside, in the village plaza, the
indignant senorita summoned her
father, who organized a Mass meet-
ing then and there to telegraph a
proteat to the provincial governor.
The priest emerged from the
church, accompanied by members of
his congregation. Firing broke out.
The senorita’s adherents and the
priest's adherents exchanged 200
shots, scarring the facades of the
church and the municipal building.
— .One person was wounded before the

If you would go to the bottom of our various troubles,
whether depression, divorces or graft, you would find as the
chief common caus3 — a lack of character. As farmers, you
have today great needs, but where are the truly great leaders
to help you? — And so you may go thru the history and find
plenty of men of great ability and oven of genius, but few tru-
ly great characters. That is why, perhaps, our moral pro-
gress is far behind our technical or material progress.

The times of Thomas More, in 16th century England,
The corruption was
even worse because it involved the Church. But that did not
deter ITiomas More. He became a great lord chancellor of Eng-
land against his own inclination, but his Groat Refusal to
follow schism came from his own volition. Daniel Spencer
summarizes Thomas More's career as follows:
“Thomas More was horn in England 1,478 years
after the birth of Our Lord, and lived in this world
more than two generations, fifty-seven years. Most of
that time he spent in the great market-place of London,
some of it at his King’s court, and still less of it on
the Continent, in foreign countries, on diplomatic tra-
vel. ----He had something very rare; a tongue
both wonderfully witty and wonderfully friendly. In
1535 he had his head taken off by order of the King,
and from that time on he became equally widely known,
not so much for his tongue as for his courage.’’
« • * •
As to his personality, Erasmus ^ays that Thomas More
was by preference a water-drinker, liked music of every kind,
dressed simply,” was rather disinclined to a Court life and to
any intimacy with princes, having always a special hatred of
tyranny and a great fancy for equality;” seemed to be bom and
made for friendship, of temper kind and sweet, himself one of
the most learned men of his age, More “if he has to do with the
learned and intelligent, he is delighted with their cleverness,
if with unlearned or stupid people, he finds amusement in their
folly” — a considerate husband, kind father, and free from a-
varice. “He has set aside out of his property what he thinks
sufficient for his children, and spends the rest in a liberal fa-
shion."
More began in London as a successful lawyer, later on
entered a public life, was elected to parliament and when Henry
VII. was asking for more money as a dowry for his daughter
than he had coming, Thomas More was the only member of the
parliament with courage enough to oppose the grant. Young
More being too popular to touch him, the King vent his ven-
geance on his father whom under some pretext he fined one
hundred pounds and sent to the Tower for a while. The people
learned to know Thomas More as standing always for what is
right.
$ * * *
More’s ability as a lawyer and negotiator was more and
more recognized, and against his inclination he was pressed into i
the king’s service, taking part in various diplomatic missions-'
When Cardinal Wolsey — the Bismarck of his time — was
dropped by Henry VIII. as pilot of the state, More was prevailed
u)>on by the King to accept the post. He stays in the offioa
until Anne Boleyn appears on the stage and Henry VIII. decides
to part with his lawful wife and with the Church.

Yes, more than at peace. He had a
feeling of wonderful happiness. He
was happier than he had ever been In
his life. Some one he had always
wanted to see was at hand; some
voice he had hungered and thirsted to

things, even happiness, faded out. and
after another Incalculable Interval he
was aware of fretting again.

MARGARET SANGER MAKES
ATTACK UPON CATHOLICS
Washington.— Mrs. Margaret San-
der, in a letter sent out to her
“dear friends, co-workers and end-
orsers,” takes a number of cracks
at the Catholics for opposition to
her favorite topic of birth prevent-
ion. She calls Father Coughlin a
“celibate priest, insulting American
womenhood,” and says that the ob-
ject of Catholic opposition to her
measures before congressional com-
mittees was not to present facts to
intimidate “them by showing a
block of Catholic voters who (though
a minority in the United States)
want to dictate to the majority ©f
non-Calholics as directed from the
Vatican in social and moral legis-
lation.”
It is noteworthy that at every
hearing thus far hold on a birth
control! bill, a large number of
those opposing such a measure—
surd among the most outspoken—
were non-Catholics, of various re-
ligious denominations.

God than many repetitions of pray
A. — Yes, if that repetition la
parrot-like without thinking of Ged
at all. To such prayers the Lord
said, “This people honoreth Me with
their lips, but their heart is fat from
Me "(Matt. XV. 8; Is. XXIX. 18).
But the text quoted in the question
is an incorrect translation. It should
j be “ Speak not much as the heath-
ens” and Christ wants us to repeat
prayers as you see from Luke XVIII,
3-8, and XI. 6-8. Christ Himself in
the Garden “prayed a third time,
saying the self-same words.” The
blind man repeated “Son of David,
have mercy on me" until his prayer
was heard. The angels of heaven
never the repeating "Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty” (Is. VI.
8). Mother repeats “I love you" to
her child without making that child
dissatisfied. Christ did not rebuke
the Pharisees because of the length
and repetition of their prayer, but
because of the motive: “For all
their works they do to he seen

the King’s displeasure meant death.
“Is that all, my lord? Is there in good faith no
more difference between your grace and me, but that I
will die to-day and you to-morrow?”
More answered. Finally he stood before his judges and
heard the foreordained verdict — death- More heard it up-
standing :
“Though your lordships have now on earth been
judges to my condemnation, we may yet hereafter in
heaven merrily all meet together to our everlasting
salvation/’

“Then the axe descended, severing so appropri-

those times, Thomas More was willing to sacrifice everything

Steve was In ■ sweat by that time.
Every pore seemed to be open, letting
Ids meager store of strength guah

quickly and shielded his eyes from the
brilliant sunlight.
"No good!" he whispered after a
moment. "I'm all In. . . . But she'll

“Don't tnlk, please." urged Kate,
drawing tlie blankets about his shoul-

She rose and went to the Are.
"Here's a broth made of smoked

now. and then more coffee. Mary said
It was the thing to do. She knows. I
felt so helpless. . . .”
Obediently he sipped from the cupa
she held for him, hi* head held against
her side, and after that he slept for a
time. It was s deep sleep. He was
conscious of the girl's presence all the
time and when he Anally .roused she
was standing under the fly looking
down at him. He smiled weakly.
“More to ea» ?"
"tf It's from your hand." he an-
swered.
He was definitely better by then, but
still events and people were tangled
In his mind.
“Things are all Jimmied up," he con-
fessed. "Of course. I remember get-

“Not a stranger,” she said gently.
“It was hard, but chiefly because I
felt I owed so much to you."
He experienced an odd embarrass-

He was not strong enough for that
yet. he found,
“Nobody showed up. HI bet they
