STATE VS.. PARocHIAL SCHOOLS
Discussed at Chautauqua by "A Paul
list Father.

Chautauqua, N. Y, July 19.-The
discussion of state VS.. parochial
schools was continued at the as
sembly to-day by Father Arthur P.
Doyle of the Paulist Fathers, who
presented the Catholic view of the
school question before a large au-
dience, Father Doyle said
Originally America was a deeply
and profoundly religious country, but
the day is fast approaching when that
can no longer be said with any truth
Two generations now, the children
have been educated without any effort
to strengthen their religious principles
and in fact the whole attitude of the
public school has been to discourage
and diminish interest in religious mat
tiers, as secondary to industrial or
political ambition and achievement.
AS a result, we are fast losing our
Christian ideals and drifting away
into paganism. Disaster surely is
written over our future unless we do
something to inject the e-giving
principle into the blood of our nation.
The Catholic Church, convinced of
the danger, has spent $500, 100000 in
building up a parish school system
This is her contribution to good citi-
zenship. and not one penny of it came
from public or private sources.
Catholics are quite content with
the American policy of non-interfer-
ence of the state in matters of relig-
ion. But, where the state finds exist
ing agencies doing its work of educat-
ing the children it is a matter of
economical civic administration to
utilize them and to pay for approved
results. The time may come when
the state will need more than now
the strong and conservative arm of the
Catholic Church to Danish the Socialism
and suppress the lawlessness, which
present irreligion is surely breeding"

road Rates.
Atlanta. July 19.-The decision of
the State Railroad Commission in the
case of the Atlanta Freight Bureau
is not satisfactory to the freight bu-
reau nor the merchants and business
men of Atlanta.
At a meeting of the directors Of
the freight bureau to-day they took
occasion to express their surprise and
dlspleasure at the decision of the COM
mission and resolved to renew the
fight with greater vigor for reduced
rates. The fight this time will be
waged not by Atlanta alone. but by
the 250 other towns in the state, which
would be affected. The failure of the
commission to grant a reduction in
the rates between Atlanta and Savan-
nah and Brunswick has greatly dis
pleased the freight bureau, and the
fight will be continued until this con-
tention has been recognized.

WELL PLEASED WITH TRIP
Electric Line Representatives Return
From Trip to Camas Prairie

Colonel j. Spofford and +. ]. Ran
dolph of the Lewiston & Southeastern
Electric line have returned from trip
through the reservation and Camas
Prairie towns and report that senti-
ment in favor of the proposed electric
road in those sections are becoming
more pronounced.
When seen this morning by Teller
reporter Mr.. Sjohord said;
I'VE are certainly we'll pleased with
our trip to the prairie and the import
ance of our enterprise is becoming day
by day more apparent to the people of
that section of the country. They are
lending us every assistance possible in
the securing of data and rights of way
and we feel greatly encouraged over
the prospects.
"Our surveying party under Engineer
Hill are now engaged in running the
lines of the proposed road between
Nezperce and Westlake. Their work
will have been completed by the end
of the month after which the party
will come to Lewiston and recon-
mence the survey going over the lines
again to set permanent stakes. The
work to be done will be of a permanent
nature and we expect to have our sur
veys completed within the next month.
1--WE are engaged in getting up
census of the country that will give us
all the necessary data concerning the
resources and traffic possibilities to be
derived by the building of an electric
railway. 1t is our purpose to confer
with our people in the east when we
have all thesefacts in hand and we are
of the opinion that we will have all this
data by the end of March
II can safely say should our people
be satisfied with the project, that actu-
al grading work on the road will have
begun by next summer We have not
as yet concluded which route will be
taken by our line in leaving Lewiston,
but the most probable route will be up
the Snake river and out through
| Tammany."
Colonel Spofford speaks very encour-
agingly of the prospects in store for
the proposed line and is firm in the
belief that the benefit to be derived by
the city of Lewiston. in the event the
( line is built, will be unlimited.
