Well Known Topeka Catholic Discusses
His Letter.

Der of the text book commission I
am again reminded that the governor
IS most fortunate in his enemies. Mr..
smith states that what the Protestant
body of the state object to and rightly
Is appointing a foe of the common
school system on it's most important
administrative body. He we'll knows
an administrative body and has no
control over the public schools of this
state. They only select the books that
snail be used. Let us lay aside reli-
glous views and consider this question
from business standpoint and as
american citizens. Here is a large
class of people admittedly loyal and
patriotic who have millions of dollars
invested in schools of their own, for
the erection and maintenance of which
they have never asked or received a
dollar from the state. In addition to
this as individuals and as an organiza-
ton they pay taxes to the state to
maintain the public school system as
taxpayers are they not entitled to rep
resentation? And as they have made
a great success of their schools is it
not good business judgment to select
one of their best scholars to assist in
our public schools, so we may have
books of a high moral standard that

He speaks as though the Catholic
church was the only one that does
not approve of our public school sys-

remind him that the German Luther
ans maintain their own school system
He cites what the Catholic bishop of
Cincinnati said about the public school
system Why did he stop there? Why
not quote what the Protestant clergy
has said in condemnation of these sys-
TENS. Why? Because he was actu-
ated by the desire to make political
capital out of an appointment made
several months ago where a Catholic
priest was appointed on the text book
commission to succeed Catholic
bishop who had resigned.
Who is this man, who wrote the
letter to the governor which the gov
ernor answered through the press
without making public its contents,
or the date upon which it had been
written, who takes occasion to drag
the Catholics and the Jews into a po-

The Passing of the Column.

Jacob Matthews, a native of England
during many years an excellent citizen
of Topeka, died here April 9, 1912, aged
nearly "A years. During the war for
the ALLEGHENY the ''Wissahickon''
and the Princeton The Wissahic-
kon was one of the AZ armed vessels
led by Admirals Farragut and Porter,
which opened the river route to New
Orleans 20 years ago. One of the
fearless thousands in that mighty
onset was the modest Jacob Matthews,
who is only memory now. An officer
on Gen. Buffers staff, writing of the
proWeSS of the Union navy on its
passage of the obstructing forts, has
said: Combine all you have ever heard
of thunder, and add to 1t all you have
ever seen of lightning, and you have
perhaps a conception of the scene"
Gen. Butler was a sound Democrat,
nevertheless, he found in the constitu-
ton of the United States (keenly glanc-
ing sideways) the words: Treason
against the United States shall consist
only in .levying war against them. or
in adhering to their enemies giving
them aid and comfort A bold defiant
rebel named Mumford, at New Orleans
rudely tore from its staff a national
flag raised on a public building there
by order of the Union commander, and
traifed it in the mud of the streets
He was son arrested, hailed
before a military commission, tried on
a charge of treason, found guilty and
sentenced to be hung. Gen. Butler
approved the sentence and caused it
TO be executed. Years afterward in re-
fering to the episode he asserted that
Mumford was the only instance of the
millions of traitors who had been tried
with all due solemnity, convicted and
received the just penalty of the law.
