Oes Moines Register: Some of the leading Catholics of Des Moines are urging- the circulation of a petition to the provincial meeting of bisnops at Dubuque Tecember 4. asking- for the establishment of a diocese for the district surrounding Des Moines and of vrmch Des Moines should 'be the see city. Fifteen ago Des Moines petitioner -for the establishment of this diocese, but Davenport sot it. That petition was signed by the governor ana all of the state officials, by Uie city officials and "by all the prominent people of the section. The city of Davenport, however, sot the honor.

Now the Dubuque diocese will be divided and Sioux City will be made the see city of the Sioux City diocese. Why should not the Davenport diocese be divided and Ics Moines given its just share of -distinction and honor in the Catholic church? It is believed that the provincial meeting at. Dubuque December 4 will see the justice of this request a diocese here- Catholics of the city sign the petition, eagerly, without dou-bt. his is written to call their attention to The necessity for prompt action in the matter. If the cordial welcome which Des Moines will give to the hishoj) could be expressed in a.

vote the unanimous ballot of the city would be cast for the creation of this new diocese. Let this petition be signed -extensively and promptly. It is believed that there is an excellent chance of attaining the desired -end if intelligent and quick action is taken. Sign the petition and help raise Des Moines to the rank she d-eserves in the Catholic church, a position her Catholic people have earned by their self sacrifice and loyality to the principles and interests of tue great church they are a part. It should be understood in connection TMith this petition thac whereas the north half of the estate has two bishops, -the south half has hut one; hut the per cent of population is more than the north half.

Plainly justice should be done to the people of the southern alf, a worldly -point of view a diocese is something which Sioux City Appreciates which "would be equally advantageous to Des Moines. In fact, it would be the 'biggest thing Des Moines has attained for a long time, just as it was the largest to fall into" Sioux City's lap. would add from 12,000 to 15,000 to the population, for instance. It would "bring -many institutions to the city "which would not come otherwise. It would add to the private wealth of the city.

Not only that, -but it would add notably to the intellectual and literary circles of Des Moines. By all means this forthcoming diocese with Des Moines as the see city will be the greatest acquisition which southern has enjoyed in many years. Des Moines Leader Article. The Des Moines Leader says on the same subject: "Des Moines city officials, the Commercial Exchange. prominent Des Moiaes Catholics and state officers, as well as representatives Catholics in other western Iowa parishes, pom in a petition to the counel of bishops of ihe archdiocese of Du- buqne Dec.

"Those who are interesting themselves In die matter say that they do not know wiiji.whai encouragement they will meet at hands of the council of bishops or that tlreir petition will be considered, but they be- Heve thai for the good of the church rr? diocese should lie divided and a new see city made of Des Moines.

They urge that there is far more necessity oi this move in the southern par: of the state because of the larger Catholic population, than in the non-hern diocese which has just been divided the new see for which is be located at the council either in Sioux City or Fort Dodge. It is the understanding 1 of those interested that the first step necessary is to procure a favorable recommendation to Rome for the division from the council of 'bishops and the work will be started in this way." The Petition. The following 13 a copy of the petition, which is being circulated in Des Moines: "To the Most Reverend J. J. Keane.

Archbishop of Dubuque, and the Suf- fragan Bishops of the Province: We the undersigned Catholics and Protestants of the city of Des Moines are under the necessity of appealing to you for justice to "the great city of Des Moines "by asking for the erection of a bishopric therein, by the division of the southern liaj.f of the Episcopal diocese of the of iowa. Des Moines is a suitable location for a diocese. It is the capital city of the state, "with a population of 70.000 people, located in the geographical center of the best, agricultural commonwealth In the union, aided by various institutions of learning. culture and charity, A bishopric here would receive generous aid from Catholics and non-Catholics, and grow into great prominence. The church would experience a growth and the increase tin all the advantages afforded by our holy religion would prove great and enduring.

A large, richly populated and conveni-ent territory would be tributary to the sc-e of Des Moiues and would 'be benefited beyond calculation by having a resident bishop in Des Homes. The Episcopal se'e could start with a census of thirty- five or forty p-iests. a Catholic population of 30,000, and be prosperous from the beginning. For the establishment in this city of a bishopric, we, undersigned petitioners, most respectfully Local View- Here in Davenport the prospects of such a division as Des Moir.es seeks are not considered bright. The Davenport, diocese in its entirety is not one-half as large as the Dubuqne diocese, so that to divide-it as it stands would be out of the question.

The only way local Catholics can 'conceive of any fair division taking plare is by a rearrangement that would involve both the Dubuque and JOaven-1 port dioceses, on a basis of compen- 'sating allowances for this see.
