 Rt Banauef.

Chicago, May 10.-Vice- President Charles W. Fairbanks was the guest of honor today at the dedication at St. Stanilaus Polish Roman Catholic Par ochial School. the largest institution of its kind in the United States.
 The Vice-President arrived from Washington in the morning, attended the dedication exercises in the after noon and in the evening was the prin- cipal speaker at banquet commence rating the dedication.
 The Vice-President in his address said that he would rather see the peo- pie spend their money in building great schools and churches than to see them spend 1t in unduly expanding armies and navies. In referring to Socialism, the Vice-President said that 1t is a sort of procustean principle of society and puts a handicap upon genius, abil- ity and thrift.
 In the new Parochial School 4,500 pupils will receive instruction from . staff of more than 100 teachers.
 The Vice-President said:
 The event we have met to celebrate Is evidence of the fact that while we and industrial power, we are not los- ing sight of those finer things which are the crowning glory of the highest and best civilization.
 "In the final analysis, the measure of our progress in the scale of the worlds estimation Is not our banks. mercantile houses, manufoctories, rail- roads and steamships. but our great churches, schools, colleges, universities. hospitals and charities.
 ''The millionaire Is touched as never before by sympathetic impulse and Is dedicating his fortune more and more to increasing the facilities for the inn provement of conditions of those who l are less fortunate. People of all sta tions are sharing more and more in a ! widespread effort to uplift the commu- l aity and advance the welfare of man kind, according to their means and op- portunities-
 We hear much of the need of a large navy and a large army. We all | agree that we should provide adequate | ly for the national defense. The money necessary for this end should be freely l expended but beyond our reasonable needs we should not go. Out national 1 tranquility is not menaced from with out nor is our domestic peace threat l ened from within. I would rather see | the peopIe spend their money in build ing up great schools, colleges, and uni l versailles churches and cathedrals, than | see them spend 1t in unduly expand ing armies and navies. The armies of young men and young women who are trained in schools. colleges and uniVer-
 sities, are the armies which shal, mos disnify and glorify American achieve ment. They are the armies of peace i and fin the final analysis, the armies of our enduring national security
 "The relation of labor and capital lto
 each other Is a matter of transeendeni
 importance, and 1t was never more 1 important than now. In the presence
 of this question, others are or essen
 tially minor concern. How to divide
 correctly the fruit of their joint ehort
 has always been problem. Politica
 laws do much to solve some of these
 nroblems, but they fall far short of 2
 satisfactory, just and final solution
 We must, look chiefly to the churche'
 and the schools for help. Teach th'
 new generation the peril of undue cen
 tralization of power. Teach them thu
 necessity of keeping the Government
 close to the people, for power in thu
 hands of the people will not be abused "reach the new generation the per ricIous effects of socialism. propa l randa is maintained to teach It's so called virtues. Socialism levels dowl instead of levelling up. It is Fubversiv | of the whole purpose of Republical Government. It is destructive of tn most powerful factor in our progress and that is individual initiative. Be
 said in honor of the great Catholi
 church that 1t has no sympathy witt
 socialism, and that 1t inculcates
 wholesome respect for American insti [ tutions, and that it stands with infiex . ible resolution for the supremacy o ) the laws of the land.
 There has been transplanted to ou
 soil an enemy to our instructions.
 Is a protest against republican govern
 ment. Yes, 1t is a challenge to all gov
 ernments established by the virtue an' patriotism of men,, Anarchy Is un
 American and un-Christian. The churc and the school must fill the minds 0 , men with a true conception of the ob , feet of the arch enemy of our cher
 ished ideas of liberty and law. W
 have no hospitality for those who seel
 to raise the red flag above the Cros . and the banner of the republic :"
