CONDITIONS lit FRANCE
The conditions in Franco on account
the controversy between ?tate and
church ?re going from bad to worse.
Signs that the patriotism of a large
taction of the people ha* been under
mined and that the drift is toward an
archy are plentiful. The people are
separating into factions and clique* and
they carry on conflict by opposing one
oonapiracy against another.
And herein is illustrated another]
time the penchant of the French people
to go to extremes. A war for the sep
aration of church and state, urged be
cause It was alleged that the cliurcb
controlled the state, has degenerated
into a war for the control of the church
by the state. It is natural that this
should be resented, and not strange
that its being persisted in has resulted
in a more or less chaotio state of affairs.
The American people, Protestant and
Catholic, favor church and state separa
tion. They believe the hand of the
church should be Kept out of the politi
cal affairs of nations. They believe
that the people should have all power
in temporal affairs without regard to
their religious belief Naturally, there
to^, they sympathize with an* movement
for the Isestablishment of a church
whether it i in Protestant England or
Catholic France.
But the question Is one that works
both ways The state has no more
right, according 10 the American idea,
to interfere wi'h the government and
control of the church in church ?ffalrs
than has tha church to interfere in
state affairs. ^ hen the state ta^es
charge of the churches and their gov
ernment it denies religious freedom.
The church in France has been
willing to acept separation from the
state. It has agreed to forgo the annu
ity, under 'protest, which the govern
ment paid it in exchange for lacds con
flicated during the great Revolution.
It has coniented to part with all its
rea:. estate and other properties except
that whiob it has bought and paid for
or received by gift or otherwise from
other sources than the government. It
asks only 'hat it be permitted to govern
Itself according to church laws. It has
expresa?d a desire for the same treat
ment that it receive* in the United
States, Germany and England.
But the government of France re
fuses to recognize the church as it is
at present organized. It insists on
controlling the church properties,
whether acquired by the church
through the government or otheiwise,
and upon treating with the congrega
tions for their use. It will not negoti
ate with bishops or priests who are con
trolled by or have to report to the pope
and cardinals at Kome, In shOrt it
s??ks to force a reorganization of the
Roman Catholic church.
It Is not strange that public opinion
in the United States and Great Britain
is largely on the side of the church and
inclined to hold the government res
ponsi ble lor conditions in France.

OVERTAXED
Hundreds of Alaska Readers Know
What It Mean*
Tbo kidneys are overtaxed;
Have loo mucb to do.
They tell about it in many aches anil
pains ?
Backache, sideache, headache,
Early symptons of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, diabetes. Bright's
disease follow.
W. R. Mcintosh. of 59^. Harrison Ave?
Astoria, Ore)?., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a pood deal from a
deranged condition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything, I often thought
I was troubled with gravel, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secret
ions. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
notice and I procured them at a drug
store. They helped me from the first
and soon relieved the pain and lameness
in my back, corrected and regulated
the kidney secretions, and the lapse of
time since 1 gave my first statement re
tarding my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of ? lasting nature.''
