RI. REV. BISHOP KAN

takes a sharp Esjoiuder to Rev. A. L..
Jordan.
q. a.s Etlyr q gs Register.
Sill cannot be expected to follow Rev.
Jordan in al his wild and seassleSs abuse
of the Catholic Church and her members.
H.t ne asks how I know, and more than
estimates that l do not know hon much
shon i rather put it bor Ht's| he pays
.os the support Of ;he public schools in
I'm, citv and State. / presume this is n
matter Of public record: Therefore / am
satisfied to refer those interested 10 having
r.yof to the books Of our tax collector.
Ha a.so asks whether ProtestiLt5 are
ever em2loyed in Catholic schools. l reply
y,s: bat we don't ask Mr.. Jordan to con
tribute to their salary. Prof. ShCckey l.

When Rev. Jordan asks whether J pay
INV taxes to educate mis- children and other
Protestant children willingly, or under
r,nprlsinr, il may not be mUi 20 p,pyos 10
remind hiul that the chief grievance OF tue
Ia'onists against the MOther-cOuutry WAS
~.tsxatiov without representation. II
EIr. Jordan finds cause for g~lOating IN the
Injustice 70 which Catholics are subjected,
Z have no wish to rob lin of his pleasure.
! shall simply remark that IN 10 Catholic
,glptrv is the Protestant minority sub
,ectsd 70 q like injustice.
Mr.. .Tordan's allusi0n TO the ludIan Bu-
resu Il especially unfortunate, since the
records Of that department show that the
Sr1at administration robbed whole tribes
al Catholic Indians Of the services Of
Cltholic priests, and, turning a deal
ear % the piteous aPpsaiS OF the
moor Indians. handed them over to the
Psp.ist and other Protestant missionaries
a ftti0g illustration Of Nr. JOrdan's
sfeas Of liberty Of cOnsCienCe. The pro-
rse5ugs OF the United States Senate will
furnish a satisfactory Dswer TO the ques-
zion. Wbv have the Catholic missions
s,,ony the Indians received larger apprO-
,riatiOus than some others2 Because
liz Catholics care for more Indians and
,-rs for them better than any other mis-
sioDariel. Those who wish the proof Of
moth these assertions, maylsGsily secure il
Dy consulting the statements made 10 that
Eject uDOn the floor OF the Senate
Bot, Mr.. Editor, when cur loyalty to
-fy rsuntry is assaulted b. Mr.. Jordan, or
80 higot, who shouts, as did the crucif.
,rs of our Lord: eve have no King but
S..,9rv we feel perfectly justified in fling
:o,b hack the base lie into the mouth ofthe
Faf,mer. This Preacher Jordan has done,
gat he wonders that / seem to lose nv
gbrigtisn meekness Into the teeth Of
H. v;Ie sIsnderer, l hurl back the inta-
-ar, calumny with all the Warmth OF

tbe man who utters and relterates the
S~a,.,ris,ian un-American sentiments O.
D. A J., Jordan; and shame, too, on
90 nan or body OF men, who, IN our Gay
~ corntry. endorse this display OF en-
s1nmed bigotry! They are notOI-

Gbrrcbu For, small is the estimate l
yesI disposed 10 pat on Mr.. JOrdan's correcI
EnowIedge of the doctrines Of the CathollC
Church. he cannot be 80 stOlidly Ignorant
0fthem IS 10 imagine that there Is any
ruth in the ~oft-repeated calumny tnat
Catholics render allegiance TO the Pope IL
any except spiritual matters.
And when he and bigOts like him attack
the loyalty Of their Roman Catholic
citizens, they may probably recall a few
y,gss Of American history. 10 was not a
