EXPERIENCES TEACHES.

From the beginning of the move
ment the Kentucky Irish American
has protested against the use of
Louisville public schools as a
rendezvous for mothers clubs, par
ent-teachers associations, hen par
ties and kindred designations. The
new Board of Education has
encouraged the misguided movement
by giving free rent, free janitor
service and free light to the either
misguided or malguided suffragettes.
Some weakened people say:
Don't protest. The Catholics do
not patronize the public schools
anyhow"
Don't they? The Catholics Of
Louisville patronize the schools by
paying a very large share of the
taxes that support them. Why, then,
should not Catholics have a voice in
their management. Negro preachers
are demanding more negro teachers,
more school facilities and more
truant officers. Commissioner
Gottschalk says the negro children
constitute fifth Of die aggregate
number of childrsn attending the
public schools. but none is foolish
enough to assert that the negroes
pay ope-fifth of the taxes.
ION the other hand the Catholics
of Louisville pay very large part
of the city's taxes, support their
own schools and yet are not allowed
a voice in the governance of the
public schools they pay to support.
Is this justice?
The Board of Education now finds
that it will have to spend more
than $4,000 to carry out the
demands of the mothers clubs and
parent-teachers associations. Ex-
perience is a wise but a very dear
teacher.

WELL WORTH TRYING.

Shyster lawyers and INSCRIPTIONS
or misguided relatives will not bring
so many suits to break the Wills of
testators if the Legislatures of the
various States pass measure
similar to that offered by A. Il.
Pillsbury, OF Boston, to the Massa-
chusetts State Assembly. The
measure provides that proof of the
mental sanity of the testator and of
his or her freedom from undue
influence may be presented to
Surrogate or Probate Judge While
the testator is living. Not many
wills are broken now, but the
wrangling of heirs-at-law and next
of kin provoke constant scandals
and eat up estates during the
progress of litigation. Any measure
intelligently aimed at this abuse
should be passed and tried out in
practice for the benefit of all the
States.

board, than ever was known in the
palmiest days of Mayor Rose, which
, called the church people to turn to
Socialism. Vice is rampant. The
much touted municipal dance has

the social evil. The Mayor of Mil

A learned philosopher of the
present day says distrust is the last
knowledge a great heart learns. So?
Then President Taft must have a
great heart. His reliance and trust
in former Secretary of the Interior
'Ballinger has never been shaken.
Mo- He even trusts him when
Ballinger says he resigns because he
is sick. Take our own Senators
Paynter and Bradley. They certainly
have no distrust of Lorimer. Surely
these men must have great hearts il

LENTEN THOUGHTS.
The Way of the Cross Is
a Devotion For
All.

Who is there among us that can
follow our divine Lord on his weary
ing journey to Calvary without feel
ing in his heart some of the fearful
weight that almost overcame the
Man of Sorrows? During Lent the
Stations make a most appropriate
devotion and thousands of Catholics
throughout the world go with their
Saviour on that agonizing road.
Those who know not, tell us we
are idolators because we have rep
reservations of saints in our
churches. They tell us that when
We kneel before these Stations of
the Cross we are breaking a COM
mandment of God But come, non
Catholic friend, go with the Re-
deemer of all mankind to the Mount
of Crucifixion. You can not go to
Palestine for the purpose, where
our dear Lord suffered such tortures
for our salvation. Here, then, in
every Catholic church we have repre-
sensations of fourteen of the princi-
pal happenings on the journey. Here
we may bring wildly to mind
Christ, just as did his blessed
mother as told in the beautiful Sta
bat Mater
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She .beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent.
Idolatry? A million times no.
Not idolatry, but devotion-devotion
to Jesus, love for his sorrowful
mother, faith in Christ and Him
crucified
Idolatry when we look upon the
face scanned with the burden of the
worlds sin? Idolatry when we see
the Saviour, bruised, torn, scourged,
Knocked by the ieering mob who fol-
low Him to the cross? Not idolatry,
but reviewing the awful scenes that
must bring to the man who has
heart sorrow and remorse and con-
viction and determination to follow
more closely in the footsteps of the
Goldman.
During Lent Catholic men should
crowd the churches each evening
during the devotion of the Stations.
During the day those who have spare
time should be found following our
Lord to Calvary. When Easter
dawns they will be better, cleaner,
more pleasing to the sight of God.

Tat sCHARF CASE.

Z Congressman Ben Johnson was
surely in earnest on Thursday of
last week when he denounced e. l..
Scharf, a professional lobbyist, for
practices unbecoming a gentleman.
According to Congressman Johnson,
Scharf has been attempting to
persuade members of Congress that
he could deliver the Catholic vote
in certain States and districts. Some
of the Congressman were foolish
enough to believe this and paid
Scharf money for his influence.
johnson says Scharf also posed as
a knights of Columbus. The Con-
CHEESEMAN'S rebuke was not singing.
1t was crushing. This fellow Scharf
has been heard from before. The
Knights of Columbus will not stand
for a man of his ilk. The Kentucky
Congressman is to be congratulated
on his straightforward manner of
putting an end to dishonest lobby
ing.

THE DEAD AND THE QUICK.

Say nothing of the dead unless
it is good" is an old adage. But
how can one keep his peace when
thinking of the Sixty-first Congress,
which died officially last Saturday?
IT had Republican majority in both
houses, but neither majority was
true to the party, the people or the
President of these United States.
The record of the Sixty-first Con-
gress is one long story of gross
betrayal of trust and violation of
pledges in its first session, and of
almost hopeless failure, incapacity
and laundering in it's second session.
The net result is that the Presi-
dent is forced to call an extra
ordinary session of the Sixty-second
Congress. It's primary purpose, and
the one he will press on its attention,
will be the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, but there is no legal
limit to the action of Congress in an
extraordinary session. What is done
or left undone is entirely in the
discretion of the majority.
IN the Congress that began its
legal term at noon last Saturday
and will assemble at the call of the
President on April the great
change in public feeling will be
strongly expressed. There has been
change of 113 votes in the House
of Representatives. The Republican
majority of forty-seyen has been
turned into a Democratic majority
OF sixty-seven. In the Senate, where
the Republicans had within two votes
OF two-thirds, their majority of
twenty-eight is reduced to ten.
Naturally such a revolution will
give rise to good deal of confusion
at first, and on that account the
extra session will prove a difficult
ordeal for the new majority in the
House.
Enactment OF the Canadian
reciprocity agreement will naturally |
be the first business of the new
Congress. The authorization of a
Tariff Commission will probably be
the next. Beyond these il is to be
hoped that the two houses of Con-
gress will proceed with elaboration
and care The country viii watch
with eager scrutiny the tendency of
