ENLIGHTENED BOSTON.
Catholic Teachers Prescribed ON Re-
ligi0us Grounds.

ligiOus Grounds.
Boston's culture and enlightment has
long been the boast of the people of
Massachusetts. They are forever maxi
ing comparisons between the Hub" and
the other American cities, which go to
show the Bostonese superior love of
learning and liberty. The true condition
of affairs was recently revealed by the
Boston Times in an interview with
prominent citizen.
The Times reporter asked the question
"How do the Roman Catholics stand
with regard to the school board and the
schools?" Here is the answer:
'"The Protestant members of the school
board in control of affairs carry their
prescriptions so far that they will not
allow themselves to have any dealings
whatever with Roman Catholics, even in
a school district peopled almost entirely
by Roman Catholics. OF the seventy
head masters in the Boston schools, not
one is Roman Catholic You can i'm
agine what show for appointment
Catholic teacher stands = Even
in districts like South Boston, 1t is i'm
possible for Catholic contractor to get
a job around school house.
Recently young woman failed OF re-
appointment in Dorchester school, and
on asking why, the master told her: You
are good teacher, but am not at lib
erty to tell you the reason. 1 will tell
you that it is not your fault Puzzled
by this. the young woman went to a
Protestant member Of the school board
and repeated the conversation.
care you Catholic?' he asked.
eyes she replied.
"'That is the reason he said, and the
teacher departed sadder but wiser.
Now they are telling story of a
member of the school board who was
asked for position as teacher by
young woman who was a graduate OF
the high and normal schools.
"'You are Catholic, are you not?'
was the committeeman's first question.
eyes, SIR
DO you not know that you will be
Obliged to read the Protestant version
of the Lords prayer in school every
morning.
eyes, SIR
"'Does not your conscience rebel at
that?'
"'No sir. 1t is my duty, and shall
do it.
"'You are too anxious said the
school committeeman, showing his caller
the door. You'd better go to that par
ochial school over there and get job
GAS matter of religion, incidents lilH
these may or may not be of consequence
it is immaterial. But they show that
the school committeeman do as they
please"
Probably the Boston bigots are not
more to be blamed for this state of af-
fairs than the Catholics themselves. More
than half of the population of Boston is
Catholic. II they would insist on OBJ
tanning Justice and make their power
felt by exercising little boldness, their
demands would be answered.
This policy of prescription will be car
ried on as long as the New England
Catholics permit it and no longer. Ex-
amples of wrongs that were righted by
the vigorous protests of the Catholic
population have been many in late
years. California is wild and woody, but
no Protestant school board would dare
to perpetrate the outrages that the
Boston people are suffering in silence.

A Trio of Candidates For the
State Partnership.
Namely: Arthur Capper, Geo.
w. Crane and w. Y. Morgan.
THE RICHEST OFFICE
In the Gift of the State to Be
Given Out
BY the Next Republican Legis-
Iature.

Who will succeed J. S. Parks as state
printer is a question that is already
causing no little discussion for this IS
one of the fat offices that will be given
to some worthy standard bearer by the
next Republican legislature.
There are three candidates actively at
work for this place and as usual two OF
them live in Topeka. The Topeka men
who will be factors in the contest before
the legislature are George W. crane
and Arthur Capper. The only OUTSIDE
candidate so far as is known IS W. L
Morgan. editor of the Hutchinson News.
Ed Greer Of Winfield would like to en-
ter the race but his friends say that he
will wait.
The two Topeka candidates are both
well known Republicans. Mr.. Capper is
editor of the Mail and Breeze and has
never been a candidate and Mr.. Crane
is known as one of the most careful pol
iticians in the state and he is at the
head of the large publishing house OF
Crane & Co. Mr.. Crane has several
times come very near being elected
state printer. He and Major ]. K. Hud-
son made a bitter fight for the place
and Mr. Crane was defeated by a
scratch. Though defeated at that time
he did not take his eye off the goal and
his ambition to be state printer mas
received no serious setback. He has
kept his eye upon the western Kansas
representatives and a Republican poll
tician said today that it would be a
great surprise to many when Mr
Cranes real strength is known.
Mr.. Capper has not done as much per
sonaI work as Mr.. Crane but he has a
large army of friends ready to help him
whenever they can He has been close
1y identified with Kansas politics and
will be a formidable competitor.
The other candidates have good rea-
son to fear w Y. Morgan. He dropped
everything in this campaign but the
canvass for the legislature and Chester
]. Long He will come to the 1egisla-
ture, 50 his friends claim, with practically
a solid Seventh district behind him.
There will be at least IS Republican
representatives in this district and with
that as a nucleus Mr.. Morgan will be
prepared to make a fight which will be
exceedingly strong.
A Republican will be elected state
printer and the only question is who the
man will be to pull the wires that will
land him in the coveted position.

TOLD HOWIT HAPPENED.
Lit Crum and T. T. Kelly Said That
the Kansas Farmer Did It

Kansas City, Nov. 1O.-Two well known
Kansans told how it happened yester-
day.
Lit Crum of Oswega, Kan, was in ex-
cellent spirits over the result of the cleo
tiOn when he boarded a train for home
yesterday afternoon.
1T was done by the farmers said he
'"The people living in the country are sat
isfied with McKinley's administrat ton.
They have learned that prosperity doesn't
depend on free silver. The free silver ar
guments can never again have any force
with Kansas farmers 1t wasn't so much
patriotism as it was prosperity that car
ried the day for Stanley and the repre-
SentatiVeS"
T. T. Kelly of Paola., Kan, a member
of the Republican state executive commit
tee, was in the city yesterday. OF the
success of the Republicans in Kansas. he
said it was due to change of belief on
money quseuOns brought about by the
prosperous times that have followed Nc
kinley's election The country precincts,
which have piled up majorities for the
POpulist tickets before, are on the other
side. The sentiment of the farmers is
again opposed to that of the town. but
the positions are reversed. Farmers dis
cuss national issues more than state is
sues.
This election shows they have given up
silver" said Mr.. Kelly. 'iStanley'S reputa-
ton as a church member and Leedy'S rec
ord on the prohibition question had some
thing to do with the result, but it was
principally an Endorsement of the national
adminiStra tiO0.''

RESULT OF THE BETTING.
Most of the Election Bets are Being
Paid Today.

AS a rule there was not as much bet
ting in Topeka as usual. Dave Mulvane
is probably the heaviest winner in To-
peka- His friends say that he is nearly
$1,000 ahead of the game. He is credi-
ted with winning a single bet of $500
but this is the largest bet that was
made in Topeka, so far as is known.
Eugene Hagan won about $500. He
wagered his money on the election of
Stanley at odds of $100 to $50.
Judge A. H. Horton won about $500,
some of it being at odds of two to one
and the rest at $50 to 800.
cap" Curtis bobbed up serenely
ahead of the game about 5000. He did
not bet as much as usual.
Nick Chiles won about $100 and he is
the only member of the sporting fra
ternity who did win. They backed
Leedy almost to a man and some mem
bers of the talent" are behind in sums
varying from $100 to $500.
At Eagles cigar store 1920 was de-
posted by people who had election
money to lose. Most of it went up on
of about $100 to $50 The bets were near
ly all small ones. There was one of $50
to $40 on New York but the rest were
state bets. There were at least a dozen
Wagers on the result in the Seventh dis
trict with the odds slightly in favor of
Simpson.
Webb McNall, who enthusiastically
backed the faith that was in him with
money, is behind in the neighborhood
of $500 He bet his money freely on the
state ticket and did not ask for odds.
Billy PepperiIl of the Democratic COM
mittee lost about 5000 and Taylor Riddle
of the POpulist com mmittee is behind in
about an equal amount.
There was considerable betting on the
result in the Thirty-eighth representa-
tive district. Several small bets were
offered that Griley would beat Stephen

FOUL WEATHER.
A Severe Storm of Wind, Rain
and Snow
Prevails Today Throughout the
Lake Region.
SHOWING IN MICHIGAN
A Dense Fog is Hanging Over
Lake Erie.
Northwestern Predicted For the
Lower Lakes.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 10-A heavy. rain
is falling over the southern part of
Michigan with light snow in some por-
tions. Lansing. Grand Haven and La
Pere all report snow. The latter town
has three inches Of it. Inspector Conger
of the Detroit weather bureau predicts
that the storm will last until tonight or
tomorrow morning with the tempera-
ture growing slightly colder.
Cleveland, Nov. 1O-Probably the
thickest weather of the season prevail
ed on Lake Erie today. A dense fog
was accompanied by a heavy downpour
of rain. Inquiry at the offices of lead
ing vessel owners and ship brokers de-
velOped that while they had received
word of a heavy gale prevailing on the
upper lakes, no disasters had been re-
ported. The local forecaster states that
a heavy northwest gale will prevail
over the lower lakes within few hours.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 1O.-It is rain
Sng today but there has been no gale
such as prevails towards the southern
end of Lake Michigan. The Goodrich
steamer Indiana, which left Chicago
last night arrived here safely on time.
She reports rough trip. A few other
vessels which are due here are expected
shortly.
Chicago, Nov. 1O.-The tow line of the
schooner Iron Cliff, which was being
towed into port today by the steamer
Iron Duke, parted in the furious north
east gale and the schooner drifted rap
idly southwark. Her anchors finally
held when the apparently doomed YES
sci was about 300 feet outside the inner
breakwater of Van Buren street. For
two hours, three tugs tried in vain to
pull her into safety. The crew in the
meantime had clung to the schooner, al
though seas were rolling over her from
stem to stern. Finally signals of dis
tress We're hoisted and the life saving
crew started at once for the wreck. The
Iron Cliff brought a cargo of salt for
JOY Morton & Co. She is owned by
Parker & Miller of Detroit.
The life saving crew with the assist
ance of two tugs succeeded in saving
the crew of the Iron Cliff after much
hard work.
Unless the wind and sea abate, the
schooner will be lost.

KILLS SILVER.
Opinion of Senator Thurston on the
Elections.


Chicago, Nov, 1O-A special to the Times
Herald from Lincoln, Neb.. says:
On the results of the election United
States Senator John NJ. ThurStOn says:
'"The sweeping victory in the west, in
Guiding Nebraska means. the uncOndi-
tiOnal Endorsement of President McKin-
leys administration. the conduct of the
war and his foreign policy. The battle
was fought on the straight gold standard
platform, and the result, in my judgment,
absolutely eliminates free silver as a ma
tiOnal issue in 1900.
The entire tendency of Independent
voters is to return to old party allegiance,
with permanent gains to the Republican
party from the best elements of DemOc-
racy and Populists.
This is largely due to the prosperous
conditions of agriculture and business gen
orally. The people are satisfied with pres
ent conditions.
In Nebraska the fusionists early in the
campaign practically abandoned the free
silver issue and for a time attempted to
maintain themselves by criticism of the
conduct of the war. Driven from this,
they fell back on the McCleary bill.
The Republican campaign was very
active and aggressive, and successfully
met the three issues in detail; Above
otic determination to stand by an admin
istration whose victories in war and whose
far-reaching and successful foreign policy
have won the admiration Of Christen-
