From my point of.view it is an absurd
because women may vote she may also
drink in public places and get drunk and
make beast of herself. Everybody
knows that, when a woman falls, she efalls
farther and into deeper depths than a
man. because she falls from higher
level. This decision is calculated TO
promote her fall; for as certainly as
women are permitted to drink at the bar
and in wine rooms with men, it will
crowd theroad to the brothel and the
house whose doors open into hell.-Rev.

ITO Whom Do Our Public Schools
Belong" Asked BY the Rev.
J. A. Vermaat
SECRETARY Won TOBEL RESPONDS
Thinks They Belong to All and In
reference From the Priest
is Cratuitous.
To the Editor Of The ARGUS.

To the Editor Of the ARGUS,
Lewistown, Mont, May 22.-Dear
Sir: Having had my attention called
to an announcement in your issue Of
May Sth, regarding the commence
ment exercises OF the Fergus county
high school probably being held in
the Presbyterian church | was
obliged to object in the name OF my
congregation. Speaking with those
with whom | thought ] was Obliged
to speak, everything was satisfac-
tory, but scheming seemed to have
prevailed.
Would you kindly allow me n little
space in your estimable paper to en-
ter a protest and to explain whynot
one Catholic could not be present
last Sunday evening in the Presby-
terian church when the baccalaureate
sermon was preached to the gradu-
ates of Fergus county high school.
Reading that the exercises were to
be held In the Presbyterian church,?
that the Presbyterian minister was
invited to deliver the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduates, would lead
one to believe that the Presbyterian
church had a corner on the religious
belief of the graduates and junior
pupils OF our public schools.
l would like to ask II our public
schools are religious Institutions. II
not why then all this sermonising
and retaining UNCONVENTIONAL edl-
fees called churches for n brief space
at the end OF a schoo oil year? Why
not use the opera house which was
especially built for such kind ofenter-
tainments.
There was a day not long gone
when any seli-respectlng clergyman
or congregation would have spurned
the idea OF allowing their church to
be used for other than sacred pur-
poses, but alas! for the cringlng
spirit OF the times. The buildings
once meant for divine worship are
now thrown open to everything,
from a Primrose & West coon show
with rag time and cake walk down
to the peep show Of the dime collect
ing m~ountebank. When the county
commissioners, who appointed the
school trustees. were elected to Office
by the votes OF their fellow citizens,
1t was with the belief that they were
fair minded men who would safe.
guard the rights OF parents, teachers
and pupils, irrespective OF creed OF
descent. 1 therefore call upon them
in the name Of my congregation and
of all fair minded citizens Of Fergus
county to protest against the seem
ing attempt at Partially, and
have the Catholic pupils at least
graduate from the high schoolratheI
than the Presbyterian church, OF
failing that task then, to throw of
the mask at once and appoint the
minister Of the Presbyterian church
bible instructor OF the Lewist0wr
public schools at n fixed salary.
Some individuals are apt to forget
that the public schools are the prop
erty OF the people-built for the PEG
pie and by the people, that they are

supported by all taxpayers alike
with the understanding that In the
conduct OF them no preference shall
be shown to any creed or class.
1t Is for the preservation OF this
principle which has been constitu-
tionally laid down and IL ever held
up to the proud, unbiased minds of
the American public that | register
this protest. Hoping nom then will
impute any other motive to my
action in the present instance. | am,
sir, Yours gratefully,

Pastor Of st. Leo's Church.
