Show uu CARDINAL FARLEY TELLS OF TRIP New York, Nov. 25. Cardinal Farley Far-ley in an official account of his four week's visit to tho west, published In the current issue of tho Catholic News, says that everything be saw was a "revelation to him." "This was the first time," ho states, 'that I was further west than St. Paul. As much as I had read and as much as I had learned from contact with tho people from the west, I had no adequate idea of the roliglous aud material ma-terial prosperity of tho wosL Every' city we visited and every mile we traveled something new was revealed i to me " I Two things particularly impressed the cardinal, tho extraordinary gener-t osity of its men of wealth and the ex-' collent provisions for the care of consumption con-sumption patients. Referring to Salt Laku City, tho cardinal says ''Mormonism, as far as polygamy is concerned, is practically practical-ly dead. While polygamy may not be extinguished entirely, it is not publicly pub-licly practiced. The mayor of that city gave me a reception and I was escorted es-corted to tho principal hotel by a company of United States soldiers. The Mormon officials asked me to an organ recital In the great tabernacle." |
