GREATEST MENACE.

Branding Socialism as the greatest
menace of the age. Bird s. Coler,
Democratic candidate for Governor
of New York in 1902, Tuesday at
st. Paul said If the republic lis to
remain great and decent, Socialism
must be fought increasingly. Mr..
Coler said he was studying the best
way to combat Socialism and the
best way to prevent its spreading
among the people. 81, for a long
time, have believed" said Mr.. Coler,
that nothing but positive religious
Instruction can protect the country.
The schools are being conducted on
basis fundamentally wrong, and
they are responsible for the spread
Of Socialism. Seven out of every
ten teachers In the New York City
schools are Socialists, and they are
teaching the children discomfort. l
am dsvoting my time to an attempt
to correct the system, and l believe
that the time must come when a
parent can secure for his child sup
Elementary religious instruction in
the schools. Our children are being
brought up as atheists under the
socialistic tendencies inculcated in
them by Socialist teachers"
Mr.. Coler said the school question
IN the United States had become
troublesome. ''The public schools"
he declared. "are fast becoming
temples of a new religion. BY some
Il is known as agnosticism, by some
atheism. by some Socialism, and by
others ethical culture. II is affirma-
tive, dogmatic, intolerant."
This is another evidence that
e1ucatloa without religious instruc-
zion win \prove worthless and will
work the country Ats greatest injury.
The Catholic schools are the only
ones that combat the evils CON-

Students of Yale at New Haven,
Conn. and the two colleges at
Lexington, this State, INDUCED in
riotous proceedings in both cities
last Saturday that we're most dis
graceful. Such conduct reflects
discredit upon the American college
system. II is pleasing to note that
such charges can not be brought
against any OF our Catholic colleges
or universities. There the youth is
taught to obey the law and respect
the rights OF others.

 Now, the little shop had been far dis tanced by the competition of Sothern & Lee It was twenty years behind the times, us the saying Is.
