BYRNE PLEADS FOR FAIR
TREATMENT BY CATHOLICS
Discusses Problem Of The Philippine
Friars at Knights Of Columbus
Banquet

In responding to the toast, "SOme Is
sues of the Hour" at the banquet given
by the Knights of Columbus in Allan
tic City. last evening, William Michael
Byrne, Of this city, referred to the
church and State in the Philippines,
and spoke of the action Of the Knights
of Columbus of Delaware and through
out the country in protesting against
what he called the misrepresentation
of Catholic interests in certain recent
publications. He held that as Catho-
lies demand from Protestants the
strictest veracity in the printed word,
SO they in turn should observe these
strict standards when treating Of topics
affecting the conduct of their Protes-
tant fellow-countrymen
Nothing to Fear
Surely" Mr.. Byrne went on. with
our Catholic teachers Outnumbering the
Protestants three to one, it betrays a
somewhat conscious weakness OF our
cause if we frantically accuse the Gov
ernment of systematic prosclytism be-
cause a small proportion of the teach
ers in the Philippines happen to be
prOtestants.
The Governments Wishes
"While no one entertains a doubt
that ample and just compensation Will
be paid by the American Government
for every item of property now owned
by the friars. a grave question has
arisen as to the return of the Spanish
friars to the parishes from which they
were driven by the relentless cruelty
of Aguinaldo and his followers.
"The opponents Of the Government
declare that it intends to embark on
program Of expulsion, thus violating
the most sacred principles Of personal
liberty. But why measure the motive
of the Government by the accusations
Of its opponents, when the Government
itself plainly discloses its purpose anC
its program? Secretary Root declared
that the desire of the Government Is
for the voluntary withdrawal of thu
friars arranged, not by the Govern
ment. but by the religious superiors O
the friars themselves"

UNION REPUBLICANS MAY CHANGE
THEIR STATE CONVENTION DATE

August 16, registration day, it would
be necessary to do so after 7.30 o'clock
in the evening Il is doubtful, how
ever, if the registration officers could
dispose of the registration business
that early. The Union men might,
however, agree upon New Castle county
delegates that night in ward meetings,
but this plan would be inconvenient.
The object of the proposed action of
the Union State Committee is to pre-
vent the Regular Republicans Of the
State from holding their convention
first Leaders of the Union party while
at RehOboth last Sunday planned this
coup. but whether it will work out sat
isfactorily remains to be seen. The
majority of the Union men favor the

PICNIC Of 81 CHILDREN
Had Big Frolic and Picnic Dinner
out in the Cool Air at the
Travis Farm

The ladies who worked up the pic
mic held Wednesday the home Of Miss
Sadie Travis, northeast OF Gas City,
feel more than repaid for their time
and trouble. 1t was such a huge sue
cess, the children enjoyed it so
Thoroughly and the LAY was so fine
that it was pleasure to be present.
The picnic idea originated nobody
seems TO know where. Mrs. B. f.
Jones started Sunday School for
children who we're not attending other
schools, either by reason Of indiffer-
ence or because Of want of suitable
rsiment. She had fund of money,
small TO be sure, but each penny made
TO count, and she had willing assist
ants among the ladies of the city. The
result was that her school, begun in a
small way, grew and nourished. 1t
was that Sunday School, ninety
strong, which attended the picnic.
MIR. Crouch kindly donated a spe-
cial car for the children and they
piled aboard each with dinner
basket along. a merry ride to the
nearest point of the Travis farm
There Miss Travis met them and the
way those infants stretched out for The
farmhouse, across an intervening
field, vas u sight to see. Arrived a
the house, off came shoes land stock

AS the REGISTER reported the other

at LaHarpe aad the subject OF boy
colt on those merchants who declined
to sign the petition asking the city
council to discharge Policeman Can
non was discussed Just what was
done at the meeting is not known, but
the union itself seems TO have been
divided. Az any rate no formal boy-
colt was declared. The country peo-
pie, on the other hand, seem to take
the stand that Cannon was right, for
they have been talking THAT II boy
colt was declared they woald in turn
boycott the merchants who did sigH
the pstltisu. And with opinion thus
divided nothing has been done and
probably will not be, the law being
allowed to take its deliberate course
II Cannon is found guilty OF unbecom'
ing coAdrct the council will discharge
him. II aot, he will be upheld.
