Show ARCHBISHOPEOTJRGADE. J Prelate of Santa Fe Is Interviewed at Denver. Archbishop Eourgado of Santa Fe arrived ar-rived in Denver Sunday after an extended extend-ed trip abroad. Although he visited the Vatican, his mission abroad was for health more than anything else. He was asked as to the probable selection for a second cardinal in this country, but he was uncommunicative. "I have nothing to say as to that," he said. "I have an idea that another cardinal will be created cre-ated in the United States, but I have not the least idea as to who will be honored. Yes, Archbishop Ireland is thought to be the man. but I can say nothing about the matter. Archbishop Ireland is one of the brainiest clergymen in the country, coun-try, but you know there are a number of others in the ranks of the clergy who are in many respects fully as strong. "I nave given tne mr.-or movement in the church absolutely no consideration, because I have not been in this country long enough to get my bearings. 1 un- derstand that some of the Catholics of 1 Chicago have interested themselves in the formation of labor organizations which will work under the guidance of the church. "The mild socialist will not be opposed, I assume, by these organizations, as he is not the person who causes trouble. Only those who desire to overthrow the existing form of government will be opposed op-posed by the church. The Roman Catholic Cath-olic church aim?- to carry harmony into the ranks of the people, and I believe this is the spirit which pervades the encyclical en-cyclical issue on labor by Pope Leo XII I. The pernicious influences which rouse the masses to commit deeds of violence must be crushed and I am sure that the church can exert influence over her flock." Father O'Ryan does not think that labor la-bor organizations sanctioned by the church are needed In Denver. "There is little anarchy in Denver, so far as I have seen, and such organize tinns are apparently appar-ently needless. Of course, if their cooperation co-operation would do the large cities any good, then such a body might do something some-thing efficacious, but my personal observations ob-servations of existing conditions here I lead me to conclude that Denver will be tis well off without such organizations being connected with the church. The extreme socialist is dangerous, but I have yet to meet with one in Denver. 1 Those who are aggressive in their views 1 hardly seem to know just what they want. They are in a haze. I hardly think 1 the movement which was launched in .Cbfcago will spread to Denver and the Other' communities in this see." |
