THE STATE FAIR IDEA,

The following words of criticism
from The Daily News. (Minneapolis)
might be proitably considered by the
State Fair management:
In advertising miracle" pictu.e
of Christ as one of the sideshow at
fractions at the coming State Fair, the
managers seem to have gotten about
as far as possible from the State Fair
idea.
Primarily the state stands officially
back of the fair because it is an ex-
hibition of methods of developing the
state and a display of results. In or
der to popularize the fair, the man
agement several years ago put on eve
ming programs and increased the gem
eral amusement features which SAVIOR
more of Coney Island than of a Min
nesota exhibition. This sideshow fea-
ture has grown to a point where it
forms the leading advertised attrac-
ton of the fair.
In the last issue of the State Fair
News, for instance, there are eighteen
items concerning attractions. OF
these, twelve are devoted to- the side
show features and the remaining six
to exhibits having to do with Mime
sofa resources or industries.
1t is undoubtedly good business to
provide general amusement features,
but it is possible to give them such
prominence that the fair becomes more
of a Midway Plaisance than Mime
sofa exhibition. 1t is gratifying 10
have crowds at the fair, but if they go
there to see the two-headed calf, the
wild men from Borneo or miracle
paintings, what business has the state
to stand back of such an annual con-
gress of frivolities and freaks?

MILLIONAIRE GENEROSITY.

Apropos Of the resolution passed by
the Catholic Education association at
Detroit recently deprecating the ten
dency Of colleges to conform to the
unwarranted requirements of ire
sponsible millionaires whereby the lib
erty Of education is bartered off for
endowment funds, word may be said
about the nature of the charity of GER
tain wealth burdened philanthropists,
so-called.
In the first place, while a man may
render services to his country which,
it would be impossible to evaluate in
dollars, it Is safe to say that no man
ever started in poverty and in the
course of a life time accumulated
scores of millions of dollars without
having used business methods that
were intrinsically wrong. Now, the
men who have accumulated notorious
fortunes and made their names a syn
onym of odium among the poor who
feel most keenly the injustice of their
methods, realize that after all the ul-
tra-wealthy are generally the ultra
discomfort. And SO they start spend
ing their fortunes to buy back that
priceless possession they had before
they got rich-the esteem of their fell
low men. But fortunately or unfor-
tunately happiness, like air and wa
ter, is one of the prime necessities Of
life and is not controlled by any trust.
Those, therefore, who have accumu-
lated millions at the cost Of their good
name find that strewing the neglected

There is no objection to mans

Is real charity. Neither is there any
objection to mans making restitu-
ton 1t his conscience tells him that he
mas gotten his money wrongly, and in
the case of many of our multi mill
ionaire philanthropsts the latter term
would be the proper one to apply to
their muniticence. Objection must,
however, be made to the bare faced
advertising schemes that so-called
philanthropists employ under the pre-
tense of doing public good. Endow-

under stipulated conditions that are
not for the best interests of education
but for the obvious purpose of adver-
Using the name of the donor ought to
receive the generous scorn of those
who have the advancement of educa-
ton at heart. The spending of money
for such purposes is not philanthropy.
1t Is simply carrying shrewd bust
ness principles into an unsupported
field. 1t is nothing less than an, ad-
Vertlsing scheme whereby wealth. OPP
pressed tinanciers would buy human
gratitude at so much per.
The deeds Of philanthropy that pos
sess the most merit are not those that
are paraded before the world and
hedged round by the pet ideas of the
donors. If lti-millionaires want to
give there are thousands of charitable
causes which they can benefit with
their wealth without forming trust
for the disposition of their ill-gotten
millions. If they want to be generous
let them give outright and credit those
whom they would benefit, with COM
mon sense enough to spend it wisely.
The idea of offering financial aid
under certain stipulated conditions
which may or may not con-
form with the ideas of those intended
to be benefited by it, does not appeal
to the average American. If those who
are spending their lives in educational
pursuits cannot be given credit for
knowing how to spend the money CIV
en- to them for that purpose without
receiving dictations from high hnan-
ciers, it is time that educators would
spurn the educational trust and as
sumo the attitude taken by the Cath
Ole Educational association.

Nothing displayed the weakness of
the Socialist scheme Of centralized
government more than the failure Of
such government in France" says the
Denver Catholic Register 1.-The great
revolution, of course, involved the at
tempt of the Girondists to establish a
decentralized government, and the
successful efforts of the Jacobins to
compel Capitalization of all power.
The centralized government collapsed,
although administered, by it's most de-
voted friends. And this would indi-
cate the inherent weakness of any re-
publican government other than those
governments founded on the indus
trial and personal freedom of the In
dividual Socialists may not see the
point. Too many of them unfortunate
ly do not know their own creed-un-
less it is labeled"

A SUGGESTION.

In few weeks more schools will
again be opening. In the meantime
parents who intend sending their chill
dren to Catholic colleges will want to
become acquainted with the advan-
tages offered by the institutions that
are bidding for their patronage All
the information desired may be had by
addressing d request to that effect to
the president or directress of the vari-
GUS institutions, announcements of the
most representative Of which may be
found in these columns.
There is scarcely any need of draw
ing the attention Of Catholic parents
to the desirability Of sending their
children to Catholic schools whenever
it is at all possible, The subject is one
that is receiving more and more at
tention every year. Public schools
though purporting to be non-sectarian
are not so in most cases and even if
they were it would not mean that it
would be as well to send Catholic
children to them as to Catholic schools.
The end for Which Catholic schools
are working is not only to prevent
children from having their religious
convictions destroyed; it Is to teach
the children the truths of their reli-
gion; to mint their minds in a way
that will make them most useful to
the Church and the state; to arm them
with knowledge of the true faith So
that they will be able to effectively
combat the extravagant and silly doc
trines of the social reformers whose
teaching IL carried into effect would
have the result of destroying the sac
redness of the home, and annihilating
society altogether. ..
At the seventh annual convention Of
the Catholic Educational association
the Importance of Catholic education
was emphasized so strongly that il
should have the effect of arousing the
interests Of Catholic parents more than
ever in this great work. His Excel
lency, the Papal Delegate, was present
at all the sessions to encourage the
work in as far as he was able, and
in addition the Holy Father. Pope Plus
X, sent a personal letter to the presi-
dent of the Association emphasizing
the Importance of the works 1t would
be hard to add anything more to arouse
the interest Of Catholic parents in the
great work of Catholic education.

livered an eloquent address on the

SPANISH C0NCORDAT
Terms of the Understanding Between
Spain and the Holy
See.
Present Spanish Minister Would
Follow Lead of French
Infidels..

The conditions leading up to the
present situation in Spain are set forth
in Rome" as follows:
In 1851 q Concordat was arranged
between the Holy See and Spain. a
law of June 30, 1857, on religious as
sociations enacted that, with the ex-
ception of the religious orders recog-
nized by the Concordat, all the other
religious congregations must supply
information to be inscribed in a spe-
cial register in the different provinces
of Spain, regarding their statutes, con-
stitutions, ETC., they must furnish a
full list of their members, houses, &C
counts; they must always be ready to
open their doors and submit to the
scrutiny of the civil governor, and no
religious institute not recognized by
the government must wear a religious
habit. Most Of the provisions of this
Draconian law were dead letter from
the very beginning. Indeed in many
provinces the civil governors did not
even observe the formality of opening
the register alluded to. But in 1901,
when the French religions began to
pass the Pyrenees into Spain decree
was issued by the government of Sa-
gasta (of which Canalejas formed
party ordering all the religious asso-
Citations which had not been formally
approved by the government, within
six months, to apply for government
authorization and to furnish all the
information required by the law Of
1887 The Holy See protested and
threatened to withdraw it's Nuncio
from Madrid. The government agreed
to negotiate the question with the
Vatican and a joint commission YVES
formed to study the whole question,
as we'll as some others connected with
the reduction of Spanish dioceses and
parishes. Canalejas showed his anti
clerical spirit at the time BY resigning
office. y:
On April 2, 1902, a modus vivendi
between the government and the Holy
See was arranged by which all the
religious congregations in Spain were
allowed legal existence pending the
definite agreement which was to come
as a result of the labors Of the joint
commission. In 1905 the -conserva-
tives were back in power and endeav-
ored to frame q law authorizing for
mally all the religious congregations.
1t passed the senate. but was rejected
in the house of deputies. The liberals
who followed in office attempted a
measure in an opposite sense, and they
| could not agree among themselves:
some of the leaders were in favor of
submitting a radical measure for the
approval of Rome; others, like Canal
ejas, advocated that the Pope should
not be consulted at all in the matter
and that practically, the French law
Of persecution, suppression and spolia-
ton should be passed. Partly as re-
suit of these disagreemcnts the liber-
ais were obliged to relinquish office,
and they were succeeded by the con-
servatives under Maura, who secured
the permanence Of the status quo for
three years. From this brief survey
it will be seen that Canalejas is bent
on following the lead set by Waldeck-
| Rousseau, Combes and BRAND in
France.
