Charities and Churches.
A misapprehension scemB to exist
with reference to tho list of endorsed
public charities put out by the Com
mercial club commltteo notwith
standing the accompanying explana
tion that It docs not purport to cm
braco all worthy charities, but only
ouch as have made application for
endorsement, and havo been favora
bly passed on. It la pointed out par
ticularly that the various philan
thropic activities of the different
churches, especially the numerous
Catholic benovolencos, aro not listed.
It should be understood that tho en
dorsement commltteo confines Itself
to organized charitable- Institutions
that look to general public solicita
tion for a main part of their finan
cial resources. It docs not consider
at all charities supported by tho
membership ot a church or a frater
nal society, or of any distinctive as
sociation which does not send solici
tors out generally, no more than It
does charitable undertakings for a
particular and ono-tlmo purpose. For
many years one of tho bost known
Catholic priests, since become a
bishop of tho church, served as a
member of this committee. It is to
tho credit ot tho Catholics that they
prido themselves on taking caro ot
their own benevolences, and ho
rarely call on outsldo assistance.
It tho plan of tho endorsement
committee docs even In part what it
aims to accomplish, namely, to weed
out impostors, prevent duplication
and conserve tho charity funds of
tho community, the charity work ot
tho churches will ho holpcd, and no
worthy charity suffer by it.

OMAHA, Dec, . To the Editor of The
Bee: I notice In Tho Bee a publication
notice ot a new addition to Omaha by
the name of Mont Clair, located between
Cuming and Hamilton and Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-third streets. It haa been
graded And platted, but there Is no
street open between Cuming and Ham
ilton, so there Is no way of getting
through this addition with heavy loads
from Twenty-ninth to Fortieth streets,
tf Thirtieth street were opened. It would
be the easiest grade from Twenty-fourth
to Fortieth, and It Is also one ot the
longest streets, extending from Florence
to liana com park. A few years ago the
city built a storm sewer from Hamilton
to Burt street to carry the water from
Prospect Hill with the understanding
that when the ground was platted Thir
tieth street would be opened up. Now
lots are laid out all over tho sewer, and
over sixty property holders havo signed
protest to the council against the
granting of the addition- P. S. BOIEN.

OMAHA, Dec. .-To the Editor ot The
Beo: It seems strange that knowledge of
European affairs must be so Incorrect
thalj writers like "B, C. P." can speak of
Sweden rapidly returning to Catholic-
Isirv" His whole article Indicates scant
acquaintance with tho European cnurcn
world.
Sweden Itomanizlng and falling Into
paplstlo ranks? Not a bit ot It There
are a fow little missions In Sweden, but
no landslide. In 1900 thero were 2,000
Bomanlsts In Sweden, a land of 6,000,030;
ono Romanist to every 3,000. Thero are
500 Jews in Sweden. Almost aa false
Is tho similar statement made for Nor-
ay and Denmark. "B. C. P." does not
know those lands as soma of us do. He
has followed some second-hand Informa
tion. And how astounding the news to
any ordinarily well-informed public that
Protestant Germany has more Roman
ists than Protestants. Ask Germans
about that monster error.
Sweden is Incomparably less "rapidly
returning to Catholicism" than Roman
Austria, through the "Free from Rome"
(Los von Rom) movement is turning
Protestant. It Is welt not to have eyes
that open and shut with automatic rapid.
Ity on comfortable or uncomfortable facts.
Thero are several times more. Romanist
In Austria that havo turned Protestant
since 1898, whon tho "Free from Rome"
movement began, than thero are Roman
ists total in tho three Scandinavian coun
tries. From 1S0S to 1900 no less than 5,-
XAK turned from Rome to Protestantism.
Will "B. C. P." give lis an exact list of
all in Romanist lands and In Germany
and America who are leaving Rome?
Then will his figures have a trlflo sta
tistical value. Will he tell us of the C.1W
Romanists that in Prussia alone became
Protestant In 1910, with less than 600 go
ing the other way! Or ot the appalling
situation in France, Italy, Portugal and
latterly Spain? When the popular Ro
man Cathollo Gorman priest, Hans Jacob
ot Baden, in 1WC made an extensive tour
In Austria and studied tho "Free from
Rome" movement there, he wrote the fol
lowing on his return to Baden: "Con
ceralng the falling away from the church,
ws la Germany certainly do not need to
glance accusingly over to the Austrian
clergy, remomberlng the many who long
slnoo are Inwardly apostate Catholics

With us estranged from the church. In

the standpoint of the shallowest deism
or even ot atheism." So wroto a man
who knows the rank and Hie, the common
people. Statistical summaries require
care.
Aside from all tills, the proof of the
church's health or decay lies not In

latton to Christ and the faithfulness to
QIls "word.
B. C P.". Is again repeating the an
cient humorous . statement. "What the
Cathollo church lost In Europe during
the reformation, It has more than made
ud In North and South America." That
logto of Its own kind. If the sixteenth
century reformation, or some similar ro
Juvenatlon of the Christian church had
not come, does "B. C. P,'' not see that
then Rome would havo had all? How in
the name ot common arithmetic can
nortlon. albeit also lying In south
America among the Spanish-Indian nail
breeds, equal tho whole, which Rome
would havo had It the reformation haa

City used to meet tho Judge ot the county
court nearly avery day on the way to
market Long friendship between the
two had let down the bars a little, and

answer of "No news today, Jerry,' by
giving the negro a real bit. "The United
States has just declared war against
Spain." he said.
For a minute old Jerry was flustered
by this departure from routine, but
