The Catholic clergy of st. Louis. are
raising objections to the children in their
parish, attending the public school, and
even go so far as to deny them first COM
munion in the Catholic Church. They
s y, that in the public schools they are
taught SO much grammar, 50 much arith-
matte, so much geography, etc., but new
er word as to the moral cultivation of
their hearts and minds, hence are not
prepared to receive the first communion
in their Church. They claim, that they
have their own schools in which their
children should be taught, and unless
they are taught in those schools they pro-
pose to deny them the privileges of their
Church.

retailing out by the glass on drug

ship, had better be sat down on by
those whose duty it is to do so. We
think it unfair and unjust to punish
one or two for violating the law in
this respect, while others are allowed
to go Scott free. The very fact in
itself is evidence of yindictive spite
satisfied, on one hand, and federation
and Partially on the other. If it is
misdemeanor and violation of our
law, why punish some and oblige
them to comply with the require
ments of the law, while others are
allowed to basque in the genial smile
of your federation (Which means
more, yea! approval.) If these sur

come true opponents of the govern
