SCAInlNG ATTACK
ON CARNEGIE Fund
10y Associated Press)

CHICAGO. June ga scathing at.
tack on thaaims and alleged tenden.
cies of the Carnegie foundation, was
the somewhat sensational feature OF
the opening session of the convention
! of the National Catholic Educational
association here yesterday. In an ex-
haustive address the Rev. Timothy
Brenahan. S. j., president of Loyola
University, Baltimore, Nd, arraigned
the foundation, and his views were
supplemented by general discussion
led by the Rev. Matthew Schumacher,
c. S. of Notre Dame Ind.
In the course of his address Father
Bresnahan said:
"A fund of $15.OOO,OOO in bonds of
the United States Steel Corporation
providing raining allowances for
certain accepted institutions will en-
list the interest of influential person
ages in the stability of the Pittsburg
millionaire's industrial BARN. These
we may reasonably suppose would
scarcely look impartially on legislative
inquiries or enactments that would
imperil the value of their securities.
The result of investing the United
States Steel corporation bonds in the
foundation could scarcely have escaped
the acumen of so astute a business
man.
"The Carnegie foundation affords a
motive to university and college
presidents for dischargtng professors
when they have reached the dealine.
Personal or financial reasons may
make the professors retirement des-
sireable to the university president ind
way for promotion to some younger
man.
IF the evils of desptism are in store
for US should we permit monopoly
of education by the government,
which, after all, with us, can be called
to account, what may We expect from
private, permanent, self perpetual
ing corporation backed by millions of
dollars and irresponsible to the public;
whose one aim is to bring into dis
reput schools under definite religious
control; to bond together non-sectar-
ian schools selected mostly for their
actual or prospective strength; thru
them to get control of the higher edu-
catlonal unity and coherency by an
educational system necessarily hostile
and skeptical in its attitude towards
religious truth

fare rate of two cents mile and
North Dakota to the West a rate of
|2k cents, both will be changed to
two cents if the courts allow it, &C.
cording to Howard Elliott, president
of the Northern Pacific railway. The
North Dakota rate, he said yesterday,
will soon be tested by court proceed
ings. In that state and particularly
in the western part, he said, all pas
senger trains are now operating at a
loss and this is tending to postpone
building and improvement of Sci vice.
In explaining why the roads will
restore the Scent fare in Minnesota
July 1, under the Sanborn decision,
Mr.. Elliott declared that the 2-cent
rate has been given a four year trial
and that the results warrant a change
back to the old fares. 1.-THE public
does not want any less service" he
added, than that which the modern
passenger equipment and facilities
provide
AT the time the 2-cent rate was

of the properties felt that an injustice
had been done and stockholders OF the
various companies brought proceed
ings to test in court the actual re-
suits OF the rate that was being
charged. 1t is significant to note that
in several more densely populated
states than Minnesota the 2.cent rate
has been found non-compensatory az

recently has been answered in the

'CASCAREIS' best
LAXATIVE FOR WOMEN

A Ten Cent Box Keeps You Feeling
Good for Months-No Headache, In.
digestion, Foul Taste Or Bad Breath
All women need Cascarets. Simply
because they don't exercise enough.
They don't eat coarse food, or enough
fruit and green vegetables. Those are
natures ways of keeping the bowels
active. But very few women employ
them. The next best way Is Cascarets
Nearly all the minor ills Of women
can be avoided by Cascarets alone.
There is no need to have headache,
lame back, depression, bad breath,
bad complexion, the remedy is Cas-.
carets. Not in large doses-unlese
you wait too long. The best way 10
one Cascaret at a time-just when you
need it. One evry day, perhaps.
It is simply a matter of keeping
clean inside, as you do on the outside.
You don't use soap in large quanti-
ties and rarely. You use it frequent
ly, regularly, just as you need 1t. Do
the same with Cascarets, then you
are always we'll, always at your best.
Keep ten cent box handy always.
