ncn-G Catholic Queries and Fns,per$ Cbereto

Why are Catholics opposed to the reading of the
Bible in public schools?
One good reason Is because the Protestant ver-
sion used in the public schools is faulty transIa
ton Of the Word of God, and leaves OUT a number
of books in the Old Testament Moreover, Cathol-
les object to this being read and often commented
upon by men and women of every creed and
creed who often know little or nothing of its
ing. and even regard it at times as mere human
book
How do you prove that the soul is immortal?
May not the, soul perish with the body, and death
end all?
independently even of the clear witness of the
revelation in both the Old Testament and the New
reason plainly postulates the Immortality of the
soul
O) Everywhere and at all times have men be-
lieved firmly in an after life No matter what false
and superstitious notions might prevail among
age tribes. or what philosophical doctrines might be
held by the more cultured, the respect shown for
The bodies of the dead the religious rites and prac
tices connected with their burial the conviction of
a reward or punishment hereafter for good and
evil done in this lfe all clearly point to universal
belief in Immortality, planted in mans reason by
God who made Us for Himself.
% Many. ike Rousseau have considered the
evident inequality and injustice OF this life one Of
the strongest proofs of a life to come. The vir-
tuous and innocent poor often suffer greatly while
the dishonest and unjust rich travel about in lux
ury and comfort Suffering, sorrow, disease pow
erty, by no mea apportoned according to
mans guilt or innocence. Life therefore, is a
meaningless. insoluble problem, and pessimism the
only philosophy, unless postulate future life,
in which an infinitely just God viii make good the
injustice and inequality of this. rendering just
Judgment to each according to his works.
90 Again, the great craving of mans intellect
for +r11tb and his intense longing for haDnineSs
both of which are never satisfied in this life, point
to God the Eternal Truth, Goodness and Beauty,
who can alone make man perfectly happy hereafter.

EVENING WITH SHAKESPEARE.
S. S. Ashbaugh and Otto Eckstein
Made Talks and Recited.

The Twentieth Century club had an
open meeting in Sedgwck Music hall last
night and invited their friends to hear
some remarks on Shakespeare made by
men who have studied the works and life
of the great poet and who are well
equipped TO talk on this most interesting
of subjects. Judge S. S. Ashbaugh gave
a lawyers views Of the works. For
years ii has been claimed that Sir Fran
els Bacon wrote some of the Shakespeare
plays Mr.. Ashbaugh took The Mer-
chant of Venice" and picked the Bacon
ties ground TO pieces. He claimed that
no lawyer such as Bacon was would have
written the court scene in THE Merchant
Of Venice No man familiar with court
procedure would have done such a thing.
No court of law would have permitted
such practices as are given in the play.
Mr. Otto Eckstein is another Shake
spearean scholar of this city and he is
also an elocutiOnist of no mean ability.
Last night he gave a number of readings
from the various plays. He clearly show
ed the beauty and power of some Of the
lines in the plays and his own versatil-
ity in presenting them TO the audience.

1t has been known for some time that
several firms from the eastern part Of
the state would like TO do some prospect
ing in this vicinity. They would not do
this because the council and citizens had
shown a disposition to control the sale
of the natural gas in the city. If the
company did begin prospecting and should
find gas, they thought that they could not
get paid for their work. a Chanute firm
vas willing to come here a week ago
I and begin operations if they had any as
surances that they would receive compen-
sation for their labors if gas was discov-
cred. There are several other concerns
that are known to be looking toward
Wichita and could be induced to begin
work here if they could get paid for their
work
1t is planned to vote bonds of sufficient
amount to pay the reward and also the
actual drilling expense of several of the
wells to pipe the gas to Wichita. This
is necessary, whichever plan is adopt
ed, as the bonds have to be voted to pay
the expense of laying the mains from the
We'll to the city and in the streets and al
legs.
After the bonds are voted they are not
to be delivered until a flow of gas in
commercial quantities is discovered.
If the citizens do not wish TO vote the
bonds and have the city control the gas
distribution, the members of the council
will grant a franchise to the company
first finding a well. and the company will
lay its own mains.
1t is considered that the city should
have charge of the gas distribution. and
there is no doubt but that the bonds will
be voted when the special election is
called.
The matter will be taken up and dis
cussed at the council meeting next Mon
DAY night, and some definite action ia
ken toward getting at the work.

at ZIG South Market.

not alarmed. thinking that he was play

he did not return in the afternoon, she
became anxious about him and notified

were notified. After a thorough search
of that neighborhood they spread out
over the city and about 10 o'clock last
night it was reported that he had been
found at the home Of his sister, Mrs

were greatly relieved. for it was thought
