The Dutchman Fooled Them.

A Il THE WORLD is laughing, eX-
4 cept John Bull, over that comical
event along Kip river, south of
Johannesburg. on the 18th. The spec
tacle of $50 mounted British troopers
scampering after one lone Boer, is
enough to excite humor in a wooden
image. According to d Pretoria dis
patch. this large British force was en-
gagged in running down Beers hiding
in farm houses. a house was surrounds
ed and single burgher broke away
and made for a kopje, the British hot
in the chase. Up the kopje climbed the
Boer and up the kopje followed the
British, and then -.
Lord Kitchener regrets to an
nounce the loss of two officers and ten
men killed and several officers and for
ty men wounded before the British
force was able to fall back under cover
of block house. The cunning old
Dutchman led his pursuers into trap.
Anticipating the derisiYe smile on
the lips of the civilized world, the Pre-
toria dispatch alphabetically announces
that the mounted infantry trapped
We're all fresh from home and unused
to Boer tactics" That explanation is
also fresh-fresh enough for Kipling to
take it up and add another verse to
1.-The flanneled fools at the wicket or the
muddled OATS at the goals Did these
flanneled fools imagine they were chas-
ing a jack rabbit up that kOpje?
Except the tabled story of the capture
of ancient Troy through a wooden
horse, there is nothing so eXquisitely
funny in history as the spectacle of 100
troopers chasing lonesome Boer, and
then getting what Paddy gave the
drum.

THE DANGER OF CONTROVERSY

We have noticed of late in many
secular newspapers throughout the
country letters in which Catholic chal-
lenge certain bigots to debate in pub
lie upon the doctrines of the Catholic
Church. Several of the letters have
demonstrated very clearly how pain
fully incompetent this or that chal-
lenger is to present the claims of the
Catholic Church.
The Ave Maria has noted these
facts. and it remarks that In such
cases as we speak of the Church needs
to he saved from her friends. AS our
contemporary says, it is better far
that our holy faith should be misrep-
resented by its enemies than that 1t
should suffer by a bungling detens
by those who have neither the dut
nor the ability to champion its cause.
A numbering, heavy-handed brief will
compromise the best case in law; and
a dull. incompetent apology for thu
Church is worse than a whole broad
side from the agnostic cannons. TIL
glib tongued inf1del makes an impress
sion, it is true, but the earnest seeker
after truth, remembering that there
are two sides to every question, holds
his judgment suspended, and thus re-
mains open to conviction. On the

of ignorant minds it is not the indf-

Men of marked ability hesitate
engage in controversy with a bgot
an intidel, but those who are not suited
to defend the Church hasten to II
fray. They are the fools who rush in
where disciplined scholars fear to
tread. Cardinal Newman remarked
once to one who wished to draw him
INTO public argument against religion:
Debate with you? No; but I'll fiddle

lated that when this great man felt
Obliged to write his magnificent Apo

There is something, too. in consider
ing the character of those who invite
controversy. A certain class of pro-
1esslonal defamers. utterly without
principle, have but one end in view
notoriety. They are impervious to logic
or reason, care nothing for facts and
VIII cite pages of damaging testi-
mony' never written.
The persons who challenge bigots
and infidels to debate Should realize
the position they thus assume. As
self-constituted spokesman of the
Catholic Church, what they say is re-
garded as correct exposition of Cath
oGc doctrine. If they fall into erro-
their opponents will not concede that
fact, but, on the contrary, they will
take advantage of it and use it t.
further misrepresent the Church.
Thus, it is plainly the duty of Cath
olics to be wary of falling into traps
If there must be controversy, let only
those who are competent speak for the
Catholic Church
