playing genuine Americenism in fighting
the A. P. A. Before his election he
joined the order under the delusion that
its object was to promote pa riotism. On
discovering his mistake be resigned and
appointed Catholic as chief of police
This was an act of treason on his part
according to the dark lantern bigots, and
he was denounced as traitor in the Sc
verest terms. The other day Street
Commissioners Foulkes, member Of the
A. 2. a., discharged an appointee Of the
mayor for not joining the secret conspi-
racy. Foulkes called at the mayors Of
fee and told him what he had done,
whereupon the mayor kicked him out
and threw his discharge papers after
him. The city auditor appointed time
keeper who is member of the associa-
ton and Mayor Van Horn would not
confirm him because of his connection
with it. Mayor Van Horn is the man
against whom the society made the ter
rible threat that after his death his grave
would be desecrated. While alive the
mayor is showing his contempt for the
ghouls and is not bit afraid of the des.
picable criminals.

creeds-both Christian and Pagan-who
participated in the memorable religious
congress in Chicago last year. The pic
lures of Archbishop Ireland, and Bishop
Keane, of the Catholic University, occupy
conspicuous positions among the "coun-

nitaries of Confucianism, Shintoism and
Buddhism. The article will be widely
read by persons Of every religious per-
suasion. DR.. Albert Shaw contributes

EDUCATIONAL COMPARISONS.

So much is beng said nowadays by
Protestant writer's about the opposition
of the Catholic. Church to popular edu-
cation that good many Catholics are
]sboring under the delusion that Protest
ant countries are far in advance Of Cath
olic countries in the matter of publ;
education. Methodist, Presbyterian and
Baptist ministers are continually din
ming into the ears of the American peo-
ple that Catholics in toreign countries pay
no regard TO the education OF the young,
and that had it not been Tor the fact that
America is the land Of the common
achools, the Catholics OF the United
States would neglect the education OF
their children as they do in foreign coun-
/ tries that are under the ecclesiastical
s;nrisdiction Of the Pope and the priests.

AFTER the longest trial in the annals
OF American criminal law the case Of
Dan Coughlin was given to the jury by
Judge Tuthill last Thursday morning.
The attorneys in the cnse consumed four
months in examining witnesses and pre-
senting the CHASTITY details to the wearied
jurors, and placed upon the shoulders of
the tax payers of Cook county an addi-
tional burden of 100000. The jury
rendered verdict of "Not Guilty" after
few hours deliberation and Coughlin
is once more free man. Judge Wing

Judge of peoples intelligence, the Cath
Ole countries not only compare favorably
with Protestant countries quoted by Rev
Peters, but, moreover, they were slightly
ahead.
Father Terney quoted from the latest
reports of the United States Bureau Of
Education and compared the population
and school attendance of six Protestant
with that of six Catholic countries. The
per cent Of attendance in the Protestant
countries are Germany 1S, England 1913
Scotland 1913, Sweden IA, Denmark 100
Switzerland 1913; and in the Catholic
countries, France has 1478, Ireland AT
Belgium 1873, Spain 1869, Austria l3l
and Hungary 1875, making total for the
six Protestant countries of 70 per cent
and OF the SIX Catholic countries 1857.
According to these figures, which are
undoubtedly reliable, as they are taken
from the official report of the Commits
sioner of Education at Washington for
1890, Ireland stands next to Germany
and France in the number OF children
who attend school in proportion to pop
ulation.
The population of ireland as given in

Gently given by DR.. Parker, and next
week we shall give in it's entirety the
eloquent plea for justice to Catholics
which was made last Sunday morning by
DIR. Shutter at the Church Of the Re-
deemer The calm, sensible and patri-
otto words of DR.. GLADDEN. and DR.. Shut
ter will go far in allaying the fears that
timid Professionals may have from reading
the forged documents circulated by the
en- ssaries of that villainous conspiracy
known by the alphabetical name of the

In the Century Magazine for March
DR.. GLADDEN. handles the proscriptiye or.
gsnization without gloves and shows the
absurdity OF the bogus encyolical attri-
buted to Leo XIII whom he calls 'per-
haps the most enlightened Pontiff who
has ever occupied the throne" and who
is consp;cuously noted for his advocacy
of republican principles. The other
forged manifesto which is being dist,i-
buted in thousands in the form Of leaf
let's by the agents Of the A. PA. is taken

ism. It is entitled instructions to

archy. OF this precious document he
says:

rures of nine Of their fellow citizens at
the foot Of it, seem to have had no mis-
giving that those to whom it was
shown would laugh in their faces. And
the melancholy fact is that they were
justified in their confidence. The for

MAYOR ScH1EREN, of Brooklyn, will
permit no green flag to float from the
city hall on st. Patrick's day. He says
that while he is mayor he will not grant
special privileges to any nationality, but
all shall be treated alike. "The Ameri.
can flag is good enough fer all American
citizens" exclaimed his honor. We think
that he is justified in assuming that po-
sition. The Irish Americans of BROOKLYN
can carry Erin's flag beside the Stars
and Stripes in their parade, and that
ought to satisfy them. The British
Americans Of the "City of Churches"
waited upon Schieren some time ago and
.strenously opposed the hosting of the
Irish flag from the municipal building.
The mayor is Republican and is not
indebted to the Irish for his election, and
that perhaps accounts for his lack of
courtesy to the Hibernisn delegation the
other day. They reminded him OF Mayor
Hswitt's fate, but he answered that he
cared nothing about it. At the best it is
only piece Of sentimentality to wave
the Irish flag on March II, and we are
inclined to believe that politics enter into
the patriotism Of the so-called aleadinr
Iriahmen' Of New York and Brooklyn on 81
the anniversary OF Ireland's patron saint.
