dian schools. This regulation was
aimed at the Catholic Sisters
teaching in these schools, as il it
made any difference what kind of
"a garb the teacher wore provided
it was modest and becoming. The
order was suspended by President
Taft until a hearing could be
given to all interested parties and
"a conclusion reached in respect
to the matter after full considera-
ton. In fact, it was quite a task
for President Taft to keep down
the anti-C Catholic bigotry Of Mr.
Valentine, whose resignation will
not be deplored by Catholics or by
falr-minded P~rotestants.
In this whole matter President
Taft has shown himself eminently
fair and just. His attitude has
been that of a broad-minded, i'm
partial statesman and executive
animated by a spirit Of justice to-
wards all, which none appreciate
more fully than Catholics who
ask no special favors from the
Government authorities, but who
have a right to demand that full
measure of justice and fair play to
which every American citizen is
entitled.

TRUE EDUCATION.

Cardinal Newman very clearly
sets forth the idea Of the Church
on the subject Of education in the
following passage:
II conceive the object Of the
Holy See and the Catholic Church
is to reunite things which were in
the beginning joined together by
God and have been put asunder
by man. Some persons will say
that | Inn thinking of combining,
distorting and stunting the
growth of the intellect by
ecclesiastical supervision. I have
no such thought. Nor have I any
thought of a compromise, as if re-
ligion must give up something and
science something. / wish the in
tellect to range with the utmost
freedom, and religion to enjoy an
equal freedom; but what I am slip
ulating for it is that they should
be found in one and the same
place, and exempliied in the same
persons. / want to destroy that
diversity of centers, which puts
everything into confusion by Gre
ating a contrariety of influences.
I wish the same spots and the same
individuals to be at once oracles
Of philosophy and shrines Of devo-
ton. Tt will not satisfy me, what
satisfies so many, to have two in
dependent systems, intellectual
and religious, going at once side
by side, by a sort Of division of
labor, and only accidentally
brought together. It will not sat

CEMETERY

For some years past it has been
customary in the Archdiocese of.
St. Paul to set apart the third Sun
day in September for the purpose
of holding public services for the
dead in all cemeteries. Accord
ingly, next Sunday will be Ceme-.
terry Sunday. On that day the
pastors Of the different parishes
and their people will betake them
selves to the local cemetery and.
offer public prayers and supplica-.
tons on behalf of the souls Of
those who rest within it's en-
closure. This is to be followed by
an appropriate instruction in
which the teachings Of the Church
on the future life is emphasized.
In Calvary cemetery, st. Paul,
the services will begin at half past
three o'clock in the afternoon. The
sermon will be preached by the
Right Reverend Bishop Lawler.
The Most Reverend Archbishop
will be present at the exercises in
St. Mary's cemetery. Minneapolis,
and will preach the sermon.
This celebration will afford
Catholics an opportunity to visit
their respective cemeteries in
large numbers and pray for their
brethren in the faith who have
already passed through the portals
of death. They should have sufi-
cient reverence for the dead to
see that the cemetery is kept in
good condition, free from all I'M
slightly objects and growths which
tend to mar it's beauty. AS a gen.
eral rule, Catholics have enough
respect for the resting place of
their dead to keep it in good con-
dition, free from weeds and grass
and refuse Of all kinds. Occa-
sionally, however, we meet with
evidences Of neglect in this regard
and those who have not put their
cemetery plots in order should
make an effort to do so before
Cemetery Sunday in order that
visitors may be edited by the evi-
dences Of care bestowed upon the
last resting place of the dead.

thousand, including representa-
tives from the United States, Can
ada, South America and all Eu-
ropean countries, gathered for the
great celebration which opened in
the Cathedral of st. Stephen last
Wednesday when the Papal
Legate was officially received. The
sectional meetings for the discus
sion Of the different topics con-
nected with the Congress will oc-
cupy the remainder of this week,
and on Sunday the Congress will
be brought to a close with a mag
nificent procession through the
streets of Vienna.
1t has already been decided that
next years Congress will take
place at Malta; and before the
present Congress comes to a close
a decision will probably be arrived
at regarding the place where the
Congress will be held two years
hence.

a REBUKE.

A recent issue of the Niagara
Falls Journal contains an editorial
reference to the Menace, an anti
Catholic sheet, whose sole aim is to
fan the flames Of bigotry by Civ
ing publicity to false stories about
Catholics and the Catholic
Church. The editorial voices the
attitude of every intelligent non
Catholic in regard to this vile pub
LEGATION which no self-respecting
Protestant will read, much less
subscribe for.
Under the heading Of "Poor
Political Methods" the Journal
says:
"Within the last week at least
a half dozen people have brought
to this office copies Of the Menace,
a petty little Missouri publication,
calculated to stir up campaign
enmities between Catholics and
Protestants. The editor is an un-
frocked preacher, and unless we
are very much mistaken the
church organization with which
he was affiliated did itself a good
turn in denying him the pulpit.
His paper is filled with discredited
calumnies and exploded canards,
and on their face they bear their
own refutation. The people who
are sending out free copies Of the
Menace at the present time to the
sensible and liberal Protestants in
and around Niagara Falls are
banking upon a credulity that
does not exist. They forget that
attacks of this nature do more
harm than good for the cause that
they espouse.
Someone is evidently paying
the piper for the free distribution
of this sheet. Many thousand
copies of it were circulated during
the primary campaigns in Ohio,
Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. Let them send their sheet,
if they will, to places which have
not outlived the ancient religious
enmities. We wish to enter a most
vigorous protest against it's dis
tribution in this locality, where
Catholics and Protestants and peo-
pie of NO religious affiliations live
on terms Of amity. Niagara Falls
has outlived that kind Of thing.
Let the campaign be fought out
on it's merits, rather than on
grounds that no self-respecting
citizen will approve. Appeals to
bigotry are out of date, and the
Menace is an insult to American
intelligence"
