sectarian book, as it is translated,
and therefore it should not be al
lowed in the schoolhouse. 1t is all
very well in it's place-the church or
the home-but it is un-American to
blockade the doors OF public
school with Bibles, and to put
preacher with white choker to
teach the children.
"wHo ARE THE REAL ENEMIES OF THE
PUBLIC soHooLs?"
A voice from the gallery: "The
preachers"
81 knew l could trust the question
toyour intelligence" laughed Father
Yorke.
Continuing, he said: "In reply to
our accusers l have this to say: Not
only do we pay our share OF the
taxes with which these schools are
maintained, hut we tax ourselves
twice over in order that none shall
Say Of us that we desire to interfere
with them. We are so careful OF
the rights of others that we build
our own parochial schools and main
tain them wholly at our own ex-
pense.
"There are to-day in San Fran
cisco alone over 10000 children edu-
Gated in these Catholic schools at
an expenditure OF 100000 annually,
and this together with interest at
the rate usually paid on public
moneys, means saving to the State
Of almost half a million of dollars.
rs THERE CHURCH ON THE FACE OF
THIS CONTINENT
which does the like of that? Yet,
though we tax ourselves to keep the
public schools non-sectarian, men
who do not pay cent of taxes
accuse us of being opposed to the
public school system.
1.-TWO years ago protest was sent
openly 10 the Board Of Education
against the use of Meyers history
in the public schools on the ground
that it was sectarian book, but so
long as the book was directed against
Catholic the protectors of this coun-
try demanded that it's use be con-
tinued. So much for their boasted
tolerance of religious liberty"
Father Yorke then turned his at
tention to Governor Budd, whom he
bitterly denounced for keeping
Henry French in Office as a Normal
School trustee in violation of the
letter and spirit OF the Constitution
of this State. He also referred to
the fact that School Director Hen
derson OF this city had been put
upon his trial on Friday night last
at Odd Fellows Hall by the coun-
Gil to which he belonged for having
voted for Catholic as teacher in
one the public schools.
In conclusion Father Yorke said:
81 have explained to you that in the
early days of this country the schools
were practical parochial, and that all
the great statesmen even to our own
day were educated therein. l have
shown you that to the Catholics
themselves is mainly due the pre-
sent non-sectarian system, and that
we Catholics give the best proof OF
our respects for the rights OF Others
by erecting and maintaining our own
schools, although we pay our share
for the maintenance of the public
schools.
SIN conclusion, let me say a word
FOR FREEDOM IN EDUCATION.

but when the Catholic religion be-

FOR FREEDOM IN EDUCATION,

Some people imagine that children
should be raised like soldiers in a
barracks, or put into public ma
chine and allowed to come out like
so many little sausages, each stamped
with the seal of the state. That is
not the American spirit. This Re-
public was founded upon the largest
liberty to each Of its citizens, upon
the idea that personal liberty should
only be restricted by the rights of
our neighbors.
FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT,
Free association and free speech
were its fundamental principles, and
it does not matter whether men be
socialists or not, they are entitled to
freedom OF speech, whether they
meet on the street, on the steps of
the Mint, or in this hall.
"This is essentially country Of
free association, and no one has the
right TO curtail that liberty. The
most elementary ofall rights, however
is that OF teaching, for it is the duty
Of every parent TO instruct his child,

DARED THEM TO LYNCH HIM.-The
coolness of Tom Sykes, white man
who has been working for the South
err Railway, saved him from being
lynched, and has just resulted in his
acquiital by the courts of a heinous
crime. Sykes was arrested charged
with making an assault upon Louise
Crouch, the daughter of a farmer living
near Columbus Ga. His description
tailed with that Of a tramp who visited
the city and who was supposed to have
attempted the outrage. He was identi.
fed by the child and her mother.
A crowd OF angry countrymep, neigh
boIs and friends OF The Crouches, sur
rounded tie man armed with rifles.
The women called for the death of the
of the man. A rope was placed around
his neck, but standing there, and look
ing them in the eye, he declared his
Innocence, daring the men to put upon
themselves and their children the curse
of having taken the life Of an innocent
man. His coolness resulted in his
being turned over to the proper authori
ties, and the full Investigation by the
courts has resulted in his acqultal.
