Lat Sunday there was published in the World-Herald an interesting interview, held by a young woman reporter, with Cardinal Gibbons The subject dicussed by these two persons was "The New Woman." whatever that may mean. Apparently it means, according to his eminence and the bright young reporter, the woman who is granted by universities, who takes an intersect in chic affairs, and who believes in science as much as she does in instict.

Cardinal Gibbons has never approved of this type of woman. He has preached aginst her, and talked against her. If he is correctly reported by his interviewer-and indeed, the interview bears every evidence of being truthful-he says

"As a Catholic, I am bound to disapprove of any so-called woman movement The church-of Rome exalts womenhod in the veneration it accords the mother of Jesus Christ but in exalting woman it still has regard for the special natur of her mission in the world, which is equal to man's, though not identical with it."

His eminence-refers, very evidently, to the mammal functions of a woman, she is elevated, he appears to think, in proportion as she exercises these napoleon, be it remembered, was of the same opnion. He respected most the woman who could bear the most children. He desired to hace the women bear men in order that he might slay them. Cardinal Gibbons' resons are, no doubt, less sanguinary.
