CHRISTMAS COAL CHARITY

Since December l about thirty half
tons of coal have been sent as a Christ
mas gift to deserving poor people
through the coal fund of the Organized
Charities association. To continue this
durable form of remembrance, SO that
no needy and worthy family may be
omitted, additional contributions are
desired Many poor people find the fuel
question very hard to solve owing to
the prevailing high price of coal. IF I
can have little coal can manage the
rest, is frequent statement received.
II our charitable citizens can spare
something for this fund contributions
may be sent to S. 0. Preston, agent, or
left at 200 Orange street.

senting Brother Officers a play writ

army officer, and which ran with great

theater The principal character Is an
officer in a crack British regiment who
has obtained his commission by promo
ton for bravery. Among his aristo-
cratic fellow officers he makes a poor
showing at first, but when his rough
ness wears off he falls in love with the
betrothed of his friend, a young woman
of rank and fortune. At length, real
izing his love is hopeless, he is content
to defeat the purposes of a rascally
card sharp and help his friend to win
the girl. 1t is a pretty theme, and
should be very entertaining on Nthe
stage The leading female role is taken
by Margaret Angln, the other charac-
tiers are in the capable hands of Guy

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC

| MONEY.
| 1t Is evident from the discussion in
| our columns, as well as from the ut
| terances of prominent Catholic clergy
men that there Is making something
like a concerted movement for the agi-
taton of the claim of their church to
| portion of the money raised by tax
| alton to be devoted to the support of
| the schools of the church. To this
movement there is not the slightest OBJ
| lection. 1t Is quite within the rights of
| the Catholic clergy or laity to advocate
|. the division of the school moneys. 1t
| would be equally within their rights to
advocate the support of their churches
from taxation. Either policy is one
that the people could adopt If they
chose to take the necessary steps.
They differ, in our judgment, only in
degree, and in the fact that direct
subsidies to churches are forbidden by
the constitution of most of the states
But the constitution can be changed
by the people, If they wish. and the less
difficult process of electing members of
the legislature and governor who will
enact laws for the division Of the school
taxes is one that is always open for
trial by any body of citizens that
chooses to undertake it. The agitation,
if made, must be met by discussion and
argument, and it would be better to
avoid abuse or bitter language ON eth
er side.
The Catholics themselves, who are
entering on this agitation-al Catho-
lies do not agree In regard to twill
admit that they are trying to reverse a
pretty strong and steadily maintained
tendency of public sentiment and opin-
ion in this country. They are In fact
trying to introduce for their own bene-
fit policy that was formerly worked
in part at least for the benefit of the
Professionals, and was abandoned as UNI
fair and opposed to the spirit of our in
stitutions. In the early days of the
public schools, the almost universal re-
lgion of the American people was that
Of the Protestants. Religious obser-
vances in accordance with the prevail
ing ideas We're common in the schools
and a degree of state aid was given to
avowedly religious schools. This prac-
tice has been undergoing gradual
change and has pretty we'll disap-
peared in many sections of the country.
1t is probably doomed to entire extinc-
ton. No policy on the same lines is
likely to be adopted on the Slain of
Catholics, who are not the majority,
and who are themselves divided as to
the soundness of the principle We do
not ourselves believe that the spread
of religious education would in reality
be promoted by state aid. We think
that precisely the opposite effect would
be reached. The Catholic church is mo-
where stronger or more active than it
Is in this country where it is thrown
entirely on it's own resources and the
contributions of its members. We are
confident that 1t neither needs nor
could we'll use the aid of the state in
it's educational work any more than in
any other branch. But there is no rea-

Tho spectao le Habit.

ut is singular and grotesque fact"
said an eye specialist of New Orleans
to Times-D Democrat man, that a
great many uneducated people get into
the spectacle habit without any need
whatever for wearing glasses. Take
for instance, man whose eyes be-
come little inflamed from exposure
to the sun or some other cause. His
sight is all right, and what he really
needs is a soothing lotion of some
sort to allay the irritation of the
membrane. Very frequently. how
ever, he will imagine that he requires
pair Of spectacles, and will buy them
at the cheapest place he can find
without the slightest regard to the
suitability of the lenses. In nine cases
out OF ten it is almost impossible for
him to see through the things. but
he will wear them as much as he can,
