sENsELEss AGITATION.

The Rev. MI Elwood has raised an
other sensation. In a sermon on sun
day night he assalled the Board OF
Education, and without doubt there are
grounds for part of his criticism.
His contention that the teachers of this
city are not paid suhicient salaries is
sound.
He was also well within the truth
when he declared that politics is one
chief menace to the public schools
since we all know that men are elected
to the school board who know nothing
Of the requirements Of education, and
care less.
But in placing politics and the Cath
olic Church side by side as enemies Of
the public schools he was stating
proposition not susceptible Of proof,
and one that can only result In stirring
up in-feeling. Education should be
catholic IL anything. It should COM
prehcnd tolerance; and any intolerance
mltigates against true education.
There are Catholic schools supported
by Catholics Friends schools sun
ported by Friends ana Episcopal
schools supported by Eplscopaiians
These have a full right to support
schools Of their own, and in doing so
they relieve the publis schools OF
great burden. Catholics believe in edu-
cation under the eye of the church.
They have a fun right TO believe it,
Probably they wish that an men were
Catholics. just as AIR. Elwood would
have them all Presbyterians; but to
those who are not Catholics we do not
think they would deny the benefits OF
the public schools.
To those who appear to delight in
stirring up strife in such matters we
recommend the following paragraph
from an editorial In the Kansas city
World:
Atheism. Agnostlcinm. Unbelief. and
] indifference have found more soiace
tand support n the contentious between
churches than IN an other evidences"
lof ungodliness combined. Christinnit,.
that fails 10 include the spirit of toler-
ance and charity ana co-operation is

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

its extent OF misinformation. Here is
paragraph
Those who are opposing Senator Ball

dicks TO the end arr ex-senator An
thony Higgins ara Colonel Coleman
Dupont. heretofore the most bitter
opponents of Addicks. Tho informa-
tion is that Higgins ara DUPONT have
entered into a tentative arrangement
with Addicks that there oshail be an
agreement this year on State, county
and Congressional representation, that
only one ticket Of electors shall he put
IN the feld and that the question OF "A
Senator TO succeed Mr. Ball. whose
term will soon expire, shall be left to
be settled later.
There Is no "Colonew Coleman Du-
Pont. and since Coleman DUPONT has
until recently lived in another state
and has only just entered active politi-
cal life here, II cannot be truthfuly
said that "he has heretofore been a
bitter opponent OF Addicks"
That he has been flirting with Ad-
dicks is not warranted by any act OF
his, nor by any word he has uttered.
It is a plain insult without any basis.
Now as for getting together on any
reasonable tickes embracing state and
county officers and the electors and the
Congressman. probably every Regular
Republican would be willing. But II
there are any Regular Republicans who
are willing to send men TO the Legis-
lature to vote for Addicks they have
