DITIoN PAPERS.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 26.-Sheriff
Barry, Of Cleveland, was refused
an extradition warrant for DR.. Le-
roy s. Chadwick, at the executive
chamber here today. The ground
of the refusal was that his papers
failed to prove that DR.. Chadwick
was in the state of Ohio March 5,
1903, when the forgery of the sig
nature OF Andrew Carnegie in
which he is accused as having been
concerned with his wife is alleged
to have been committed. Sheriff
Barry went on to New York.
Sheriff Barry has decided not
to try to correct his papers now,
but to go to New York and arrest
DR.. Chadwick, arranging for the
requisition papers afterward.

with papers for the arrest of DR.. lie

petent, yet they do not get any of the
positions. 1t is about time for the
Catholics of this city, many of whom
submit to double taxation in the inter-
est of education, to look into the pres
ent government of our schools. If
Catholic teachers are under the ban
because of their religion, that fact
ought to be made known and the Cath
Ollie citizens of this city should keep
that fact in mind when choosing men,
bers of the school board this year. No
Catholic will ask for the appointment
of any teacher because she is Cath
Ollie. All that is asked is that no per-
son should be denied position because
she is IL Catholic. 1t cannot be mere
coincidence that Catholics, who COM
prise quite IL large percentage of the
population, should have SO few teach
ers of their faith in the higher posi-
tons in our schools.

WHY NO CATHOLIC 1RAcHERs2

George Fl. Conlcy, supervisor of the
public schools of Boston, has been
given the degree of Doctor Of Letters
by Tufts college. DR.. Conley is a
graduate of Holy Cross college and is
a Catholic. He was first appointed to
the state board of education in 1893
by Governor Russell. The enemies Of
the church at that time made objec-
ton to the appointment because Of his
religion. The Boston Pilot quotes the
following editorial comment made by
the Boston Herald at the time of his
appointment:
I'm appointing Mr.. George H. Con-
ley to the state board of educa ton
Gov. Russell has chosen Il man whose
nomination to this position cannot fail
to be generally approved by the peo-
pie of this state. II it should be urged
against Mr. Conley that he is a Roman
Catholic, it can also be said to those
who would make the fact just stated
an objection, that Mr.. Conley has been
identified for many years with the
public school system in this state, first
as teacher. and then as superintendent
of the public schools at Lowell. and
for a number of years past as a men,

but in the case under consideration
this comment is fairly deserved"
1t appears that the public schools Of
Boston are perfectly safe under Mr.
Conley. Here in Minneapolis our
school authorities do not regard it safe
to place Catholic teachers in any high

that there are no Catholics in the
high schools or in the university cam

PARKER WILL BE NOMINATED

Now that the delegates to the Demo-
cratic national convention are gather
ing in st. Louis it appears certain that
Judge Parker will be the nominee.
The contest has now resolved itself
into struggle of the field against
Parker. 1t is certain that Parker has
a majority of the convention and it is
equally certain that he has the dele
gates from the Democratic and doubt
full states. Under these conditions it
seems impossible to head him Off. The
states that will vote for him on the
first or second ballot include every
sure Democratic state and every doubt
full state The only hope his opponents
now have is to control enough votes to
prevent him from getting a two-thirds
vote. Under the circumstances we be-
states which the Democratic party
must have in order to win an election
are all for Parker. If ma jority is to
rule. Parker will win. and If the senti-
ment of Democratic and doubtful
states is to have any influence he will.
Against the present situation the OPP
position cannot prevail. The states
which are opposed to Judge Parker are
California. Illinois. Idaho, Iowa. Ore
gOn. Nevada, Rhode Island, Nebraska.
North Dakota. South Dakota. Utah,
Washington. Wyoming and part of the
delegations from Kansas, Minnesota
and Ohio. Is it not significant fact
that there is not in all this opposition
to Judge Parker Il single electoral vote
for any Democratic candidate? Ger
tainly the delegations from such states
will have difficulty in persuading the
lninstructed delegates to join with
them rather than with the delegates
from Alabama, Arkansas. Connecticut.
Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi. New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas and
Virginia. The conditions which al
most a year ago led us to believe that
Judge Parker would make the most
available candidate. now with over
whelming force demand his nomina-
ton. We do not believe that the two
thirds rule will defeat the will of the
majority, for this majority has the
power to do away with the rule. The

The common father of Christendom
must not only be free but also indie
pendent, says the Catholic Columbian.
He could be free anywhere, but he
will consent to abide nowhere else but
in Rome. And there he demands not
only absolute freedom but also abso-
lutte independence-tha he shall be
in no way the subject of any civil gov
eminent; that he shall not be in any
secular kings territory, but shall him
self be the sovereign as well as pom

Christians of all countries, when they
go to see the Pope do not want to
have access to him with the permission
or by the liberation of any monarch or
prime minister. They desire to be at
home. The holy father will never con-
sent to be at the mercy of any civil
power, of any ministry, of any govern
ment, of any majority of voters. He
will not risk even the chance of the
reputation of being coerced by any ma
ton or unduly partial to it in order to
seek favors from its rulers. Therefore
he must have some place of his own.
And the Catholics who don't know
this, and think this, and say this, are
not of the same mind with the holy
see.

cute the wicked coal trust during Sep
TENDER or October says the Scranton
Catholic Light. 1t will. therefore, be
expected of the grateful public, strong
and enthusiastic support of the Re-
publican party at the approaching cleo
ton. The trust issue is to be thus
dealt With to combat the horrid Dem
ocratic party. which will charge the
Republicans with permitting the trusts
to violate the laws. OF course, moth
ing really injurious to the trusts will
occur. Although some harsh action
may be necessary for the time being,

The longest convention in our politi-

four days to nominate Stephen n.

South thought it necessary to dictate
the nomination for president; the rea-
son for the rule has long since disap-
peared. There seems to be no reason
able doubt of Judge Parker's nomina-

number of delegates either instructed
for him or favorable to him, and he
has all the Democratic and doubtful
states. Will Il majority rule and will
the Democratic states prevail? That
is the question and there can be but
