dent of this city. He graduated from
the public schools in the year 1885
and that same year became an ap-
prentice in the printing office, He
has since followed that calling. He
has for years been a member of the
Iowa Brigade band and the Fritz
orchestra and for the past four years
has been manager of the band.
He is known in a number of lodge
organizations, namely the knights OF
PyLhias, the Grand Orient of Beacon
and the B. P. o. Elks.
During his school days he worked
with his father and for a number
of years worked in the brick yards
about the city, started at the bottom,
carried the hod and finally laid brick.
He is now a property owner and tax
payer of the city and county and all
by the strength of his own personal
effort.
mF. WailiDg was a former member
of Company F., 1. N. g., Oskaloosa,
serving Eve years. He was elected
captain of the company but resigned
the position on account of lack of
time to properly conduct the busi-
ness entailed
The gentleman is a family man
being the head of a family of five and
he is well and popularity known in all
parts of the county.
Charlie has quite political career
and has met with much gratifying
success in this line. He has been at
the head of the city campaign for
the past four years and has been very
successful. His greatest work, how
ever, was in connection with the re-
publican central committee of the
county, of which he was chairman.
The campaigns that were conducted
were clean but aggressive and were
free from the abuses that had become
prevalent. in the county. He was
wonderfully successful in the con-
duct of his campaigns and openly re-
ceived the compliments of not only
local candidates and representatives
but also of the state organization.
Mr.. WaIling is deserving, aud the
office that he seeks would be a fitting
compliment extended by the voters
of the county in recognition, not
alone of party service, but also of
personal worth. He has been before
the people of the city and county for
years and has never been found
wanting when calls have been made
upon his time and labor. He would
make popular official in all ways
and would discharge the duties of
the Office with an evenness and i'm
partisIity that characterizes all his
doings.
He ought to receive more than the
support of his party.

1.-THE production of Palmer's spec

of the best performances ever wit
messed in this city. The play was
given last evening at the TILES
Theatre to select and highly ap-
preciated audience, which exchan-
ged smiles for tears and tears for
smiles as the realistic was being

Unnecessary Alarm.

President L. J. Liable, of the
Public Schools of st. Martin Pa
IRISH, publishes communication
in the Messenger to-day, and APP
pears to be greatly alarmed be-
cause Father Thebault has assail-
ed the public schools, and has an
nounced that hereafter, children
who will attend the public schools,
who reside within three miles
from st. Martinville. will have to
follow Catechism two years before
they are allowed to make their first
communion, and those who attend
tho Sisters Schools will have to
remain at those schools for
the whole term, to be permitted
to receive the sacrement OF
first commuuion,-but the chill
dren living outside of the three
mile limit can attend the public
schools, follow Catechism one year
and they will be allowed to make
their communion.
This practice is not new Mr.
Liable, and it was not invented by
Father Thebault, it was practiced
in this parish before he came here
and has not injured the public
schools, and we can see no reason
for you and other gentlemen re-
presenting the public education of
this parish to be alarmed at this
opposition.
The church has certain infu-
ence upon the faithful of any con-
gregation as long as it is right and
just, but the time has passed for
the people to follow blindly the
unjust and unreasonable teachings
Of any religious or political creed.
President Liable seems alarmed
because the children of the public
schools will have to attend Cate
chism two years; why, my dear
sir! you object to this, the more
instruction they receive the better
educated they will be in their re-
ligion. No objection to this, even
if it is discrimination.
Schools are not considered from
a religious point of view by pa
rents, but simply as matter of
business, they look for the best,
and those who show the best re-
suit in educating the children, and
the public schools have the great
est advantage over the other
schools, being free. Keep on i'm
proving your public schools and
need have no fear of competition
or discrimination from any one.
We are of opinion that education
should be encouraged in every
possible way, and if this was done,
by the efforts CT citizens and teach
ers or whatever influence, all our
schools would be full, and there
would be need for more schools,
as President Liable says out of
eight thousand educsteable chill
dren, only two thousand are at
tending school.
Our schools should stand on
their own merits.

ton of using the influence of the
church against them. in st. Mar
tin parish, and outlined the course.
he would pursue in making effec-
tive his threat.
This is greatly to be regretted,
especially in parish composed al
most entirely of Catholics. Outof
5000 children Of educeb!e age not
quite 1000 are attending school.
The power of the church in a
community exclusively Catholic is
not to be underestimate, and if
brought to bear, there is no doubt
that Father Thebault can re-
duce the attendance of the schools
considerably, and thus deprive the
poor of their only means of obtain
ing education.
Such policy cannot but be of
the greatest harm. Not only will
it materially interfere with its
progress, but it will bring the Pa
IRISH of st. Martin in disrepute
throughout the State, and cause
it to be Stunned by people of diff
ferent creeds. The American sys-
TEN of public schools is coeval
with the declaration of indepen-
dence, it is an important part OF
our republican form of govern
ment. Any successful attack upon
the system is victory against the
constitution of the United States
and that of every State in the
Union. 1t is an attack upon the
liberty of the citizen and crime
against American civilization.
There is no reason for this anita
gonism from the church. For the
last IL years Catholic Sisters have
had charge of the Public Schools
at Breaux Bridge. The Priest
there, Father j. M. Langlois is
not only friendly towards the
school but is an ardent supporter
of public education.
The School Board has always
considered private schools whether
sectarian or otherwise as absolute
ly necessary to help educate the
5000 children that do not attend
school in the parish.
1t is 10 be hoped that Father
Thebault will retrace his steps and
not pursue the course he has out
lined against public education, a
course which no doubt has origi-
mated from impulse and not from
mature judgment. Let him con-
suit the intelligent and conserya-
tive members of his congregation
and he will discover that he has
committed a grievous mistake.
The Catholic religion cannot and
must not encourage ignorance nor
be the cause of it. Such a polio y
is not consistent with its teach
ings.
In bringing this matter to the at
tention of the public it is not the
purpose of the writer to enter in
to a controversy on religion or in
any way deprecate any private
schools or religious institutions.
He feels it his duty to express his
views upon subject of great i'm
portance to the public and at the
same time deplore the course pro-
posed by the head of the Catholic
church in this parish, which if per-
sisted in, will be of great detri-
ment to the cause of education, of
no good to the church and harm
