"held up" and had his revolver con-

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Tuition

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 5.-Arch-
bishop Ireland has issued letter an
nouncing that hereafter at Catholic
parochial schools no tuition will be
charged, such tuition being'considered an
obstacle to the growth Of the schools
In the course of his letter he says
"Of course the expenses of maintain
ing the schools must be provided for in
some way. The pastors will take the
amount of these expenses from the reg
ular church receipts of the parish and
will rely upon extraordinary measures
which their own Judgment may COM
mend. Catholics will, we are very sure,
cooperate with their pastors in main
tanning the parish schools. The proper
view to be taken of the Catholic school
is to regard it as great religious work
in which all are concerned, whether they
have or have not children attending.

1t would be interesting to learn what
proportion of public sentiment among
both clergy and laymen is reflected by
DIR. Thomas vigorous sermon at Chi
cago on the Cuban question. 1t may
be taken as significant of the extent of
the awakening interest in the question
of Cuba's liberty that it should lead to
so earnest an expression from a minis
ter who is usually SO thoughtful and
free from bias as DIR. Thomas. In the
course of his remarks the speaker said:
1.-The time has come for America to say
that this oppression of Cuba must come
memories are on the side of freedom.
When we struggled France held out a
helping hand and Russia sent her war
ships to cruise off New York. Can we
supinely stand still and let Spain crush
the life out of these struggling patriots:
don't call them rebels. They are pa
triotS, as brave as men ever were, and
are struggling for the rights of men as
we once struggled. Those men have
not been accorded belligerent rights
They must fight as Washington lid ut

name of liberty and God they will Wil!'
Coming from the pulpit and not from
the mouthpiece of any political inter-
est. these words have a weight of their
own. DR.. Thomas was wise enough to
add that annexation can wait" That
is question to be considered later and
with the exercise of foresight and eau
ton. But the speakers prayer for the
freedom of Cuba involves no political
controversy. That. indeed, Sc ems to be
entirely a matter of disinterested pa
triotism, and if present indications are
worth anything the majority of the pub
lie of this country would gladly see the
island dependency freed fsom the Span
sin yoke. In speaking for the enamel
patton of Cuba Dr. Thomas was doubt
less echoing sentiment which is but
natural and inevitable in the foremost
