AS the pope would not annul the marriage
of Henry VIII to save England from
schism. so he will not do an injustice to
members of the orders of the church for
any purpose whatever. AS he can never
consent to the spolfation of his rights as
sovereign of Rome he can never consent 70
the spollatton of the rights of the ministers
OF the church to preach and teach the Cos
pei Of Christ to the peoples of the earth
Catholics of the United States, those who
are supporters of the administration, as
well as those opposing it, are viewing with
alarm policies which concern their fellow
religlonfsts in our recently acquired terri
tory The people of these colonies are Cath
Ollie people, yet not single Catholic has
been appointed on the commissions gov
erning those territories. Public schools
nave been organized In those territories,
whose revenues derived from the Cath
oiic people thereof, yet not single Catho-
lie has been placed at the head of such
schools in the territories or in the cities of
the same. The direction Of these great af-
fairs has been given in charge of persons
not In sympathy with the Catholics of the
territories, or the church, or Its institutions
II the people of those territories had been
Protestant. it is certain that their govern
ment and schools would not have been
placed in the hands of Catholics, and to
have so placed them would have been COM
hitting an act of great injustice. Catholics
do not demand anything which they are not
willing to concede to members of other
churches or to those who are not church
members. They only ask that strict JUS
tice be done to their fellow religionists in
our recently acquired territories, and when
they see evidences to the contrary, they
Will contend that their views shall be con-
sldered and their rights respected.
Whatever action Catholics may take in
this matter, it will not be partisan. Never
has the Catholic Church taken sides in con-
tests of political parties in this country, and
1t never will, except its right to exist here is
denied But the time has arrived for the
people OF the United States to know that
Catholics will insist that religious liberty
shall be preserved, and that no church, or
person, or people, shall receive favor or
suffer wrong, because of any prejudice for
or against any form Of religion, If they can
prevent It, H. NJ. BEADLE

MR.. wACHTER BITTEN BY DOG
Maryland Representative Fight With
Savage Brute

The Baltimore American of today saws;
Representative Frank c. Wachter of the
third district was badly bitten In both
hands last night about II o'clock while
hero!cally endeavoring to defend his little
daughter. Miss Hattie c. wachter, from the
attacks of large St Bernard dog
Miss Wachter, who is thirteen years OF
age. was playing in the large yard attached
to her fathers residence 6.I5 Columbia ave-
nue. with small brown pet dog belonging
TO the household, when suddenly and with
out any apparent cause the ST. Bernard,
which had been lying the ground near
her, sprang upon her with a savage growI
The little girl was bitten upon the right
hand and arm by the enraged animal
The girls screams attracted the attention
OF the father. who, fortunately happened
to be in the house. and he ran TO her res
cue. shouting to the dog to desist- The
dog, which was a fine specimen Of the St
BERNARD breed, paid no attention to Mr.
achter and pursued the girl, swapping at
her viciously.
Mr.. Nachter sprang between the St Ber-
nard and his daughter The action OF the
representative diverted the attention Of the
animal from the girl, and the beast sprang
at Mr.. Wachter
A fierce fight ensued between Mr. wach-
ter and the animal. in which the representa-
tive was badly bitten on both hands and ON
the arms. Finally Mr.. wachter succeeded
in beating off the dog which skunk srowl-
ing into corner of the yard. Mr.. Wach-
ter at once summoned DR.. Harry BOYD.
who dressed and cauterized the wounds of
the representative and his daughter, which.
while painful, are not serious.
In the meantime the police were notified,
and Officers Harrigan, Richter and West
called at Mr.. Wachter's residence. Mr.
Wachter at once requested that the dog be
shot. Drawing his revolver, Officer Harri-
gan entered the yard and dispatched the
animal with a single shot
The cause of the dogs fierce attack is
a mystery to Mr. Wacllter. who has owned
the animal for some time and priced IL
highly. He had hitherto been extremely
docile. 1t is thought probable that the dog
became enraged at the attentions which
were being bestowed by Miss Wachter on
the small brown dog with which she was
playing.
Mr.. Wachter will have the carcass Of the
St Bernard examined today by DR.. N q
Keirle chief of the Pasteur department at
the City Hospital, I'm order to ascertain
whether the dog was suffering from rabies.
The occurrence occasioned the greatest
excitement In the neighborhood and the
residence Of the popular representative was
surrounded by crowds of people. He was
numerously congratulated on his bravery
and his escape from great injury.

THE FRIARS QUESTION.
Attitude Of Catholics in America on
the Matter.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In The Star Of Thursday last there Is an
editorial on this subject, in which, it seems
to me. you take an erroneous view of the
rights Of the friars and the powers of the
pope, and the reasons why the government.
wishes to prevent the friars from returning
to their labors among the Filipinos. The
reasons for the governments desire for the
withdrawal Of the friars from the Philip
pine Islands are expressed by The Star In
these words: % 1.-THE friars are hated by
their former parishioners and have been
driven from the scenes Of their former
labors. and (2) the lives Of many of them
were prejudicial both to peace and to good
morals"
I respectfully submit that neither of these
reasons Is sufficient for the governments
asking for the withdrawal of the friars
from their labors. If the reasons given
were valid, they would be sufficient for the
church to withdraw them from their re-
ligious work, but would be no cause for the
governments interference with the duties
of the church. There have been bad min
listers and priests in all the churches of this
country but in no case has the government
interfered with the discipline of the
churches to which they belonged, and If the
ministers OF any church in this country
were hated by their parishioners as the
friars are alleged to be hated by the Fiji
pllOS, the government would not interfere
to have them withdrawn-it would leave
them to the discipline Of the church to
which they belonged.
If the ministers or priests OF any church
violated any Of the laws of the land, they
would, of course. be punished. and Ii any
church upheld the commission Of crime as
the Mormon Church upheld polygamy, laws
would be enacted that would put a stop to
such crimes. and il there was no other way
to put an end to them, the men upholdiu9
such criminal policy would not be perm, tied

have chafed under the inadequacy of the
means to further the aims the office should
stand for. But whenever the subject is
mentioned there are those who cry. We
don't want the general government to con-
troll education-we don't want a paternal
system of instruction; each state has the
power to educate its own citizens. and
takes great pride in ats own educational
system and it is a matter of cOngratulation
to the states that in this one thing they
have full play and power without the aid,
interference or advice of the general gov
eminent" More than this, others say.
The moment the general government takes
hand the states will feel their RESPONSE
bility less and do less for education"
But on reflection. these objections prove
small, for there are so many, many things
an enlarged bureau could do that need not
interfere with either state individual eff
fort to promote education. 1t has not been
found that the people take less interest and
feel less responsibility in farming because
We have Department of Agriculture to
collect and disseminate knowledge of farm
ing. On the contrary, farmers take
pride in the fact that through the efforts of
the Agricultural Department certain prod
ucts formerly imported are now of domestic
growth. and no uncertain revenues are to be
the reward Of the home grower. In educa-
ton it can be said that certain things seem
to be taught better abroad than here, /. e..
some people must think so. or they would
not go abroad to get instruction in certain
lines that they can't get here. Why can't
the bureau of education collect methods
and results and give such free to the peo-
pie? Why can't it make known the best
methods of instruction, as the Agricultural
Department aims tn make known the best
methods of propagation? Isn't the human
plant Of as much value as the vegetable
plant?
This is only one of the many fields of en-
deavor that an enlarged bureau could open.
1t could keep every state informed as TO
what other states doing; ii could keep
cities of a certain size informed of what
cities Of like size are doing; 1t could let
every county school superintendent know
what others who hold similar positions are
doing; it could furnish monthly reports of
the percentage of illiteracy over the coun-
try, that those who desire to aid in the re-
duction of this percentage may know where
to apply their efforts. These and many
other things, to further the aims of ma
tional education, could be done that would
not lessen the responsibilities or powers of
those now at work. The fact is the pres
ent bureau of education is restricted in
its scope that only a few people outside of
Washington know Of its existence.

TO STOP MORE LoOTING.
This Government May Again Intervene
in Chinese Matters.

The officials of the State Depar tment are
gratifi I'd at the information conveyed In
the press dispatches from Pekin to the eff
feet that the foreign ministers have agreed
upon the terms upon which Tien Tsin is to
be turned over to the Chinese. and also at
the victory for American diplomacy involv-
ed in the ameIioration of the stringent terms
first imposed.
Some concern, however is felt here IL re-
gard to the statement that the ministers
are considering the question of reimbursing
the foreign concessionaires for the grants
obtained under the provisional government.
which are now reported to be declared in
valid by the terms of the Tien Tsin agree
ment. 1t is pointed out that the German.
French and other citizens who obtained
concessions from the provisional govern
ment did so with their eyes open to the
pfobability of a change of government at
Tien Tsin. and consequent annullment of
their concessions, and ii is felt that the
Chinese treasury should not be drained for
the purpose indicated. 1t is therefore prob
able that some influence VIII be brought to
bear by this government to prevent another
inroad upon the Chinese government funds.
