BARD RAISES A RACKET.
Disclosures Of California Senator Pre-
c!pitate Storm Of Protest and In
dgnat:on OF Republicans.

The Atlanta Constitutions special
correspondent at Washington wires
his paper as follows:
The wrath OF the whole republican
contingent at the national caption is
being leveled at the head Of United
States Senator Bard Of California, a
lifelong republican.
His sensational charge Of diversion
of certain Indian funds to mission
schools Of the Roman Catholic church.
at the instance of the president dur.
ing the progress Of the presidential
campaign, and Of that OF Dr.. Schart,
of the Catholic University. had PROM.
ised to deliver to the republican par
ty twenty congressional districts IN
return for consideration shown the
Catholic schools in making the ap-
preparation for Indian schools, mas
brought out, storm of criticism, un-@
derlying which is the charge that Sem
ator Bard is sore because OF his re-
cent defeat.
An act of congress, passed in 1897
declared it to be the settled policy
Of the government TO- make no ap-
preparation whatsoever for education
in any sectarian school. The essence
OF the Bard charge is that In. order
to secure the cooperation OF certain
church authorities in promoting his
candidacy, President Roosevelt adopt
ed policy at variance with this decla'
ration Of congress. so. a.
Senator Bard further said he had
been Informed that very small per-
centage of the Indians interested gave
their consent to such application OF,
their trust funds to the support OF
sectarian schools, and that a large
majority of the Indians were commun-a
icants in the various Protestant
churches located within the various
reservations.
This open charge from leading re.
publican that the influence OF church
officials was sought and secured by
these methods may, it is said, bring on
an investigation. During the course
of the CALIFORNIA; senator's statemeHts
Senator Teller declared that II these
charges had substance, there was
more cause to complain OF the inter
ference of the Catholic than OF the
Mormon church in the political affairs
Of the country.
Coming as all this does on the heels
Of the campaign in which q notables
feature was the support given Presi-.
ident Roosevelt by a number OF lead
ing papers of the church and OF the
insinuation freely made that certain
high church officials were using their
influence in his behalf. the matter has
aroused deep political interest. In
sp;red statements coming from the
white house seek to place the respons
sibility for the deal by which the
funds were turned over to the Cathoys
lie schools upon Senator Aldrich OF
Rhode Island, whose activity In the
conduct Of the campaign Is well
known in inside circles and William
B. Jones, late commissioner OF Indian
affairs. q;

Strange Coincidence.

I'M connection with the above, and
: In many other like instances, 1t is
sad to note the seeming necessity for
IA Humane Society to remedy the evil
conditions such as are found existing
in almost every community today.
BySy virtue of their mission. when prop.
sers complaints are filed. they go into
homes or novels rather as they prove
to- be in many cases, and break up
whole families taking away children
which their parents cannot or will
not properly support, feed and clothe.
and transfer them TO other homes of
comfort and plenty which are without
any children to call their own. In
herjyWords we have two patent evils
/, existing in the opposite extremes OF
societ which loudly call for rem
edy. The one is found In the homes
kof the poor or unfortunate. with more
children than they can support and
start oif#with an even chance in the
and too often with parents,
who by reason OF their character am!
Influence sare unworthy. Of offspring
~ the other extreme we find many
homes sof opulence and luxury, pre-
sided over by husbands and wives
Z but without parents or children. And
so through the Humane Society We
y find the one seeking relief by getting
I'D sofsEwhat they have and canno
maintain, and the other through the
sSs same channels seeking TO obtain from
others what they have not Of theil
own but can. support.
