Withthesewords,applaudedbya largeaudience,Mr.G.K.Chesterton concludedhislecture,"Paganand ModernRome,"whichhedeliveredin theTheatreRoyal,Dublinrecently, undertheauspicesoftheSocietyofSt. VincentdePaul.

Hisimpressionofpreviousvomitsto ItalywasthatthebulkofthemonumenttoVictorEmannuel,whichto hismindblottedoutthewholeofthe Forum,theplacewherethelegendof PaganRomebegan.Itwasveryrewilt,veryVictorian;inotherwordsit wasalittlevulgar,andit"wasputthere tocelebratethatparticularmovement ofaUnitedItaly,whichbeganinthe middleofthe19th.century,andwhich, hethought,wasnowsuperseded.

Forsomemysteriousreason,Constantinetookitintohisheadto changethewholecentreofgovernmentintheEmpirefromRome,and hemovedeastward.Rome-ImperialisticRome-waschangedtoByzantiumwhichwastobecomethecapital oftheworld.

Buttherewasonethingleftbehind, andthatwasthePapacyandthetraditionofSaintPeter.

Romewasdeserted,andallthevivid cosmopolitanlifeofthatworldhadbecomeanewsolarsystemrevolving aroundanewcentre,anditallasserted theconceptionofthenewRome.

Mr.Chestertonemphasisedthefact thatitwasnottruethattheChurch simplysatonthethroneofCaesar. wieldingitspowerandcontinuinghis tradition,butthattheveryopposite wasthecase.Thegroupknownas Iconoclastswentaboutsmashing statues,andthePoperesistedthem andstoodforthedefenceofart,and notaloneofreligiousart,andhecall-

SenatorTydings(saystheCatholic NewsService)pointsoutthatofthe greatintolerantmovementswhich haveafflictedtheUnitedStates,only one-thepresentKuKluxKlanstartedintheSouth.

"Becausethepresent-dayKuKlux KlanhaditsoriginintheSouth,in tGeorgia,andparticularlysincetherecentattacksupontheRomanCatholic ChurchmadeintheSenatebya SouthernSenator,J.ThOmasHeflin,of Alabama,theassertioniSfrequently madethattheSouthisasectionofreligiousprejudices,"saysthearticle.

"IftheSouthchoosestodenythat thepeopleofthatsectionarelesstolerantthanthoseofanyother,historicalfactsmaybecitedwithwhich tosupportsuchdenial."

ThewriterpointsoutthatwhenHeflinattackedtheCatholicChurchon theflooroftheSenate,itwasaSouthernSenator,JosephT.Robinson,of Arkansas,whorepliedanddeniedthat Heflinrepresentedthesentimentofa majorityoftheSouthernpeople,and Southernnewspapers"almostwithout exception"condemnedHeflin.He alsocitesapreviousrebuketoHeflin byanotherSouthernSenator,JamesA.

Thewriterthenproceedstoexamineeachofthesemovements.He findsthattheNativeAmericanmovement,whichproposedtoproscribeCatholics,originatedinNewEnglandand haditsmainsupportthere.The Know-NothingParty,whichgaveasIts purposeto"placeinallofficesofhonour,trust,orprofitinthegiftofthe peopleorbyappointmentnonebut nativeAmericanProtestantcitizens," wasestablishedinNewYorkin1852, andvirtuallyallthepoliticalsuccessesitwonwereintheNorth.The Democraticconventionwas"dominatedbySoutherners,"healsonotes, whenin1856itwrotethefollowig plankintoitsplatform,referringto
