VIM. +. MAhKoE, corresponding
secretary of the Catholic Truth society,
has this to say in recent letter to the
ST. Paul Glvbe: There is no ahtagonism
between Catholicism and the republic
on the part of the former at least, nor
has there ever been any on the part of
the latter. The American people have
never, in their national capacity, re-
iected the Catholic faith. The United
states has never made war on the Pope.
or cast off the authority of the Church.
The nation, since it's birth. has never
performed one act of hostility to the
Catholic religion. martyred or perse-
'cuted a SINGLE Catholic, and it's first act
on winning its independence was to
repair the injustice Of the mother coun-
try towards the church and to place
Catholicity on an equal footing with
Professionalism.

THE AROHBlsHop's PLAN ADOPTED.

lib AkUaOl0aUI - l1AN }AUVL AAOs
AS might be expected the famous
paper of Archbishop Ireland on the
state and parochial schools has attracted
wide attention and been commented on
favorably and unfav0rably by the lead
ing papers Of the United States and
Canada. The most influential Of our
Catholic contemporaries are far from
endorsing either of the two schemes
submitted by our eminent prelate, the
Baltimore Mirror, Philadelphia Stand
ard, Western Watchman and MilWau-
kee Citizen being particularly opposed
to them. Father Phelan, Of the West
ern Waterman, does not believe in the
UNCONVENTIONAL system, saying it may
be all right In 8 monarchy, but is not
lifted for this Republican country.
e Our first work. he says. should be
to- de- Protestantize our public schools
by stopping Bible reading and psalm
sinRing. and eliminating Objectionable
text books. For the past fifty years
our public schools have been Protest
ant. we must make Professionals pay
Tor their Protestant 1sm, as we pay for
our Catholic ism. and let the state take
care of those children only whose pa
rents desire tor them no religious in,
structIon whatever" The Irish World
seems 60 be an exception, and favors
the Poughkeepsie plan. In it's issue Of
! last week there is an article drawing
{ attention to the fact that public funds
have been granted to Catholic acali-
envy at Syracuse, New Z ork. The

NORWOOD Times: Our Minneapolis
ministers are still adding fuel to the
already smolderlng fire, about the
school question. We believe tits wrong
to be so outspoken concerning any de-
nomination as some men are about
those who may differ with them in re-
liglous belief. It is easy to stand on a
pulpit, or forum and make statements,
but when called upon to prove them,
generally those fiery orators whose better
nature is CARRIED away bv the passion of
the mo ment. have to draw in their
horns. besides there can be no mis-
understanding as to the. constitutional
right of every citizen in this country to
serve God according to- the dictates Of
his conscience, and this IMPLIES the
right to teach his child the same doc
trine.qsHe is respon sible to the state
for the action of chat child. while it IS
under his control and the child itself is
responsible for its actions after it be-
comes of age. OF course If a law could
be enacted that would SO distribute the
public school fund among the schools
of this country without depriving any
person of the liberty Of conscience. it
would be more jnsr than the present
law. But let no child be compelled to
listen to religious instruction in school,
or any other place, without the consent
of it's parents. The school law Of Min
nesota NAV be as good as it can be
made. but not so sacred that the citi,
zens OF this state shall not OK press their
views about anne nding it as they Go
other laws. Yet while expressing their
views it is mean and vile to denounce
your neighbor simply because he don't
kneel at the same altar.

CATHOLIC News: Now, what history
of the United States used in schools
shows even inadequately the progress
Of the catholic element from the earliest
days to Its present attitude, when one
sixth Of the whole population belongs
to it, In the books used in the Protes-
tant public schools the Catholic element
is studiously ignored or maliciously mis-
represented. More space is given to
the religion Of the Separatists and
Puritans of New England, mlsrepre-
sentsd to suit the times, than is even
given to the Catholic, in the whole
country, for period extending from
1873 to 1890, and geographically extend
ed from the whole Atlantic sea BOARD to
the shores washed by the Pacific. Poet
aud artist seek inspiration IN Catholic
annals, but they are studiously ignored
by those who profess to give history.
