BOMB AND THE GOVERMENT

Cardinal Gibbons States HU Churoh’s Position on a Question Recently Raised. Baltimore, Nov. 27. —In the course of an address delivered at Bt. Benedict's school Cardinal Gibbons said: "The church teaches that the civil au-

thoritles must be respected, no matter what the nationality or religion of the incumbent in office. I received a letter today from a man asking me whether he ought to respect Mr. Taft, the president-elect, because he wag informed that Mr .Taft was not a believer In our Lord. "I was amazed, and ean scarcely l«eIleve that the man was a true Catholic. You must have no less respect for those at the head of your government than you have for the pope in his department. There Is a great evil in this land that forebodes revolution or a partial upheaval of society. The only way to avoid a catastrophe is to teach our young men to respect the authorities placed over them."
