The necessity of religious training dur
ing school hours is becoming more telt
and acknowledged day by day. President
Charles Thwing, himself an educator OF
excellent reputation is on record as say
ing: II, Protestant, would rather have
my children taught b. good CatnoIlc
nun than by a wise agnostlc. We nave
gone farther in the elimination of reli-
giOus teaching than is necessary. Cath
olics cannot conscientiOIsly go 50 far as
the civil authority has chosen to go,
They want education in their schools and
will have it even if they have to submit
to double burden. Little by little those
will come to acknowledge the logic of
their position. This will prepare for
just settlement.-Transcript
Attention was called last week to the
gross act of injustice by which the Cath
Ollie cadets on the training ship Monon-
gahela were compelled TO take part in
Protestant services. Marked copies OF
the paper were sent to President Roose-
welt and the secretary of the navy. We
are informed that the president immedi-
ately the matter was brought to his no
tics, directed the bureau of navigation
to investigate the charge.-Columbian.
Although the king of England did not
send an invitation 20 the pope to attend
his coronation he did not omI, to send
a special envoy to the pope's coronation
anniversary. This. to some. may appear
eccentric and contradictory behavior, but
it would rather seem to be the outcome
of delicacy of feeling on the kings part
That coronation oath of his stands in the
way of courtesy. IL would not be very
ceremonial in which personal insult to |
the invited was portion of the pro- |
gramme. and one that could not be !
omitted--Standard
Senator Hanna is credited with the |
probable prevention of a coal miners |
strike in Pennsylvania. His earnest re
with powerful operators in !
zeal labor difficulties at the mines in the !
interests OF their own private pockets, ;
is said to have checkmated that game a. |
least temporarily. Senator Hanna will
find a reputation arising from efforts IN
this line. far more agreeable and profit
able than that based on the expenditure of
energies in most other directions.-AIon-

A preacher over in Indiana was last
week dismissed from a school over
which he presided because he persisted in |
kissing his female pupils. He Is indtg-
nant, and his female pupils are indignant
with him. The Hoosier state is worse
han Peru. If these petty assaults on
preachers rights continue Protestant pull
bits will be voicelesS and tenantless be-
fore very long.-Western Waterman.
