FIGHT SCHOOLS
VOTERS LEAGUE FORMED BY
ARCHBISHOP
SITUATION IN FRANCE GROWS
MORE SERIOUS
Prelate Makes Open Attempt to Orr
ganize Laymen in Support of
Candidates FaVoring
Church
tBy Associated Press.1

PARIS, Oct 2S.-A new and interest
ing situation has been created by the
French episcopal declaration of war
against the public schools of France,
and the open attempt initiated by
Archbishop German of Toulouse, to
rally the Catholic voters at the gen
eral elections of 1910 in support of
candidates committed to the defense
of church interests.
Archbishop German has formed an
association Of Catholic voters, the OBJ
ject of which is thus described;
1--WE demand the re-establishment of
religious peace, first by direct en-
tente between the sovereign and the
pontiff or by new legislation acceptable
to the latter and assuring full lib
erty to the church,; and,
Second, the establishment Of COM
plete liberty of education"
The archbishop says the situation of
French Catholics is intolerable, and
that they must adopt the attitude of
their Irish brethren in the days Of
Daniel O'Connell, and their German
brethren as assumed against Bis
marcks "Kulturkampf."
Issues a Circular
M. Doumergue, minister of education
issued today a circular to school teach
ers instructing them to disregard the
demand of the clergy and Catholic
parents for the withdrawal of text
books placed under the ban by the
episcopate.
The circular announces further that
children who systematically refuse to
attend classes and to use text books
regularly approved by the government
will be subjected to. disciplinary
measures.
Although the extreme anti-clerlcal
radicals of the type Of former Premier
Combes urge that the time has come
for the state to suppress completely
the private and religious schools and
assume a monopoly Of education, the
general disposition Of the republican
groups which accomplished the sepa-
ration of church and state, has been
to ignore the Catholic campaign in
the belief that the country was in no
danger of reversing its adopted
policy.
Nevertheless the government is pre-
pairing a bill for the protection of
teachers who are subjected to perse-
cution by Catholic parents and re-
ligious committees which are forming
throughout the republic.
Premier BRAND, it is expected, will
set forth the views of the government
during a speech on public education,
which he is to deliver next Saturday.

CHINESE GIRL TO
ENTER WELLESLEY.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 90
Miss Amy F. Ching is pretty Chi
nese girl with a mission. She arrived
here yesterday from Honolulu on the
liner Mongolia and is on her way to
Wellesley college to equip herself for
the work she means to do in China.
Miss Ching was born in China, but
was taken when a baby to Honolulu by
her parents, who both died there when
she was still youngster. Her only
dover was a desire for knowledge,
with the determination to acquire it.
Her friends on the Mongolia pointed to
her with pride as a EEself-made girl. -
Friends saw that the little almond
eyed orphan was cared for during her
school day life. She supported herself
during her course at the normal school,
from which she was graduated with
honors. From two years work as a
teacher she saved enough to take her
through Oahu college, from which she
was graduated this summer.
She is now going to Wellesley, where
she intends to specialize in mathemat-
les, Latin and English. After gradua-
tion she will return to China and de-
vote her life to imparting the knowl-
edge for which she has worked so
hard to her sisters in the fowery king

As Is the case with all occurrences
where tragedy is ~uppermost, the coli
liston between the Republic and the
Florida brought out some amusing in
cidents. Here is one:
When the Republic passengers were
brought on boael the Baltic many OF
them had saved practically none OF
their belongings. One lady, arrayed In
a nightgown and fur coat, all h had
brought with her from the sinking ship,
climbed over the side of the Baltic and
spied a sort OF bulletin board, on which
notices of interest to the passengers
We're posted. The following caught that
lady's eye:
"Lost-One gold button. Finder please

The possessor of one nightgown and

at that notice.

M onte Carlo.

Heaven knows, says and eastern ex-

said Of Monte Carlo. A black cloud
hangs over 1t, sorrow and shame dark
en- the lives OF those who have fat
tened IN 1t and been lured by 1t; a
grim responsibility rests OF those who
tolerate 1t; still n may, in a spirit of
fairness, point out two things about
which there is frequent misapprehen-

honestly; there Is no manipulating of

who knows questions this. Individual
players have often tried to rob the
Monte Carlo bank, and by various
tricks and conspiracies have some
times succeeded, but the bank has
never tried to rob the players.
A second point is that the entire
amount Of money taken from the world

what a Former Oregon Farmer

Albert Nelson left Benton County,
Oregon, in September, 1904, for the
great Canadian prairles. To quote
from his letter: l was greatly sur
prised to find such an immense stretch
OF rich virgin prairie still almost I'M
occupied in the very heart Of North
America. The splendid crops Of oats,
wheat, barley, potatoes and hay l be-
held In the settlements made me very
eager for a piece Of this rich soil, and
/ soon located in the Goose Lake u

the rich deep clay loan Of the Sas-
katchewan-a soil heavy and hard to
break, but particularly well adapted for
the retention Of moisture and produc-
ton of the bright No. / hard wheat,
and great crops Of oats, barley, fax and
potatoes. / had 60 bushels Of oats
weighing A pounds to the bushel per
acre. Some of my nelghbors had still
greater yield. Wheat yielded from 20
to 30 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and I could name many
Americans who came here with means
to go ahead, who have done big al
ready. For homesteads one has to go
further west, but the best prairie can
be bought here for from So to $l6
per acre. The climate is dry and
healthy. This is the regular Saskatch-
evan fall weather-frosty nights and
bright sunny days-ideal for threshing
and hauling out OF wheat. The trails
are dusty, as thousands Of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the ex-
ception here. Snow generally falls in
December and goes off in March. 1t
sometimes gets very cold, but the Sas-
katchewan farmer does not fear the
cold. Winter Is his season Of rest. The
