Hearing in Lambertville Council Chambers Yes
terday Devoted to Discussion of Suitability
of the North Main Street Site.
FURTHER HEARING ON MONDAY JUNE q

\ hearing on the proposed new
school building for Lambertville
was held in the City Council Room
yesterday afternoon, before Assist
ant Commissioner of Education J.
Brognard Belts.
The hearing lasted three hours,
all the witnesses being for those
opposed to the ball ground site, and
it will be continued on Monday,
June %, at 1.30 p. M, and will
continue until completed.
Walter F. Hayhurst, ESQ.,, ap-
peared for the appellants from the
ball ground site, and was assisted
by former Senator George H. Large,
of Pennington, Counsellor Lambert
H. Sergeant represented the City of
Lambertville, and w. Holt Apgar,
Esq, of Trenton, appeared for the
school board.
Mr.. Hayhurst first read report
from the engineers concerning the
amount of filling necessary for the
ball ground site, in which it was
stated that about l3, 900 cubic yards
would probably be needed, costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 or $4,000
depending upon the place the dirt
was secured from.
Frank M. Wilson, city engineer,
was first and leading witness in
point of time taken. He Unidentified
map of the location, of his max
ing, and was questioned by Mr..
Hayhurst and cross-questioned by
Mr.. Apgar at length. Mr., Wilson
did not think that the ordinary
cesspool where sewage seeps away
would answer the purpose for taking
care of the sewage of school build
ing on the ball ground.
DR.. Frank w. Larson was quest
toned at length, and he went into
detail as to some of the things done
in that section of the city whileA he
was a member of the city council
and also when he was on the board
of health. He did not think that
sewage would drain away into the
under soil on the ball ground site.
There was lengthy discussion as to
the character of the soil and as
lust which hole (of those dug for
testing on the ball ground) was.No
| and No 2.

AN AMENDE HONORABLE.

In a recent issue of the Morn
ing Star" Of New Orleans, there
appeared an editorial containing
a very virulent attack on two of
the speakers at the national con-
vention of the Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies held in Milwaukee
the second week of August. The
tone of the article was most dis
respectful, the language very in
sulting, and the sentiments entirely
un-American in it's reference to
the Constitution of the United
States.
Most of the readers Of the
Morning STAR were shocked at
the irreverence and bitterness dis
played by the writer, and will
ingly attributed the whole unfor-
tunate affair to some mishap in
the editorial sanctum.
Nor were they astray in their
surmises. Last weeks issue of
the Morning STAR contains a
complete editorial disavowal and
reputation of the sentiments ex-
pressed in the article and declares
that it was written by one. who
took the place of the editor dur
ing a period of illness. AS soon
as the offensive article was called
to the attention of the manage
ment of the Morning Star, - the
offender, who had taken advantage
of the opportunity to vent a per-
sonal spleen, was promptly dis
missed from the service of the
paper. Under the circumstances,
this was the only honorable course
left open and the management did
not hesitate moment in taking
it. Their action is a tribute to
their conception of reputable
Catholic journalism, as well as to
the high standard of journalistic
etiquette which the Morning
STAR has ever maintained.

ole Transcript of Hartford,
found lots of things to condemn.
No one can claim that they did
not perform this portion of their
duty well. A more constructive
policy would probably appeal just
as powerfully to the public
whether Catholic or Protestant.
1t is easy to reprobate and to pull
down; but to start something and
carry it to completion-that' Ia
Dor, that's merit. A fish woman
can consign more men and meas
ures to Limbo, if not to a worse
place, in ten minutes, than a CO.
lumbus, or a Napoleon, or Wash
ington, or the greatest saint that
ever lived can reclaim and restore
in thousand years. And still
the federationists do not relish
criticism.

A SUGGESTIVE ARGUMENT.

In the notorious exhibition Of
bigotry' at Charlotte, N. c., where
two young ladies were refused re-
election as public school teachers
for no other reason than because
they were Catholics, the school
board used the following argu-
ment in vindication Of it's posi-
ton: "Since Protestants would
not be considered as teachers for
Catholic schools, there should be
no Catholics as teachers in the
public schools.
It takes but a very primitive
acquaintance with logic, says the
Southern Guardian, - to discover
the flaw in this argument. Did it
read as follows: "Since Protes-
tants would not be considered as
teachers for Catholic schools,
there should be no Catholics as
teachers in Protestant schools, :"
there should be no fault in logical
cogency. "Public schools" in
the School Boards argument
strikes one as utterly illogical,
and we cannot see how men of
sober reason we're capable of
using such an argument save in
the supposition that they consid-
cred "Public schools" and "Pro-
testant schools" as synonymous.
And this is precisely why we call
the argument suggestive because
it reveals the mental frame of
many of our fellow citizens who
look upon the Public schools as
Protestant schools. Nothing,
however, is farther from the genu-
inc idea of the American Public
school, 1t is essentially unde-
nominational.

WHAT THINK YOU OF THE
CUNARD LINE?

The Cunard Line Of Transact
lantic steamers has an unenviable
reputation for want of considera-
ton for the religious convictions
of Catholics who patronize it. This
is shown by the fact that it makes
no provision for the holding OF
Catholic services aboard it's YES
sells. The requisites for the saying
of Mass altar, altar furnishings,
etc.-are not provided by the COM
pany; nor is a priest allowed to
celebrate Mass in the first class
cabin, even on Sunday, for the
benefit Of his llow-Catholic trav-
ellers. He is relegated to the Sec
ond class cabin or to the steerage.
The first saloon is reserved for
Protestant services conducted by
an officer of the ship, in the alb
sence of an Episcopal clergyman.
On other Transatlantic lines
some consideration is shown for
Catholic priests who are not only
permitted to say Mass whenever
they wish, but are provided with
everything necessary for the pur-
pose by the company. On the
French liners running from New
York it is the duty Of the Purser
to prepare the altar and to supply
all that is requisite for the celebra
ton of the Holy Sacrifice. What a
contrast to the attitude of the Of
ficials of the Cunard Lima con-
trast which should not be over
looked by Catholics when making
plans for crossing the Atlantic.
Nor is this the only way in
which the Cunard Line discrimin-
ates against it's Catholic patrons.
On the last voyage of the Carpath-
la from Naples to New York the
infant child of Catholic parents
died on board and the Captain ar
rogated to himself the right to Of
ficiate at the funeral, notwith-
standing the fact that three priests
were on board, one of whom, at the
request of the Catholic doctor who
attended the child, had agreed to
read the final prayers before COM
hitting the body to the deep. The
traditional reason for Captain Pro-
there S action is relic of the days
when British ships recognized no
religion but that of the Church of
England; but no right-thinking
person will, on that account. con-
done his disregard for the feelings
of the parents of the child, and his
discourtesy towards the priests on
board. The sooner the Cunard of
ficials adopt a more tolerant pol
icy the better for them.
Another evidence of their short
sightedness In such matters is seen
in their recent decision to sail di-
rect to and from Liverpool and not
call at Queenstown. The people Of
Ireland are justly indignant, and
their descendants on this side of
the Atlantic can scarcely fail to
resent the slight shown their faith
erland by this self-suficient steam
ship line.

FLoGeING FOR DRUNKENNESS.

DR.. Miller, lecturing before the Lon
don Medical Society, has advocated
1ogging for drunkards. He declared
that the present system of treating
drunkenness judicially is all wrong, be-
cause it began at the wrong end. When
citizen is brought up for the first
time on a charge of drunkenness he
is admonished and allowed to go, the
second time he is fined, and the third
he is imprisoned. The first time the
man is clearly culpable; the second
time he is less accountable for his con-
dition, and the third TIME he is a
chronic drunkard.
The only thing such a man remem-
bers, DR.. Miller said, is physical pain.
1t is the one logical deterrent for the
chronic alcoholic, and it is the one
not used. The reason for this is that
we are too scientific and too senti-
mental. We are too white-livered to
beat man who beats his wife, there
fore, in the name of humanity, the
wife has to go on getting beaten. It
would be kind to fog the alcoholic
early, whereas it is simply barbarous
to imprison him later.

INDIFFERENCE TO COMMON
NEEDS.

Incredible as it may appear to
those in whom the love of children
is inbred is one OF natures best gifts.
the development of the selfish indul-
gence of drinking is accompanied by
a growing indifference to the COM
monest needs of even the smallest
children.
THE idea prevalent i'm some circles
that neglect of and cruelty to children
is mainly due to the poverty of parents
is not borne out by facts. Inability to
provide the necessities of life does not
kill affection as the habit Of drinking
does, and though it is true that here
and there children suffer through their
parents lack of means, such parents
often 60 without the things they them
selves need in order to supply the re-
quirements of their little Ones"
The man or woman who sells drink,
writes Father Landing in the Pitts
burg Observer, who arranges to sell
drink, who invests his money or her
money in any business which has for
its object the selling Of drink, or who
advocates the sale OF drink, no mat
ter under what conditions, must neces-
sarily be the conscious or unconscious
enemy of the child. "Woe unto the
world because Of offenses," said the
tenderest Heart that ever beat In hui
man breast; 1T must needs De that
offenses come: but woe to that man
BY whom Offense cometh.p

PROTESTANT TESTIMONY
EDINBURGH REVIEW ON ABSOLU-
TIoNS AND INDULGENcEs.

For the benefit of on-Catholics we
sometimes cite Protestant writer's,
even when they do not correctly state
Catholic doctrine or practice, in cases
where they refute misrepresentation
or set straight matters that have
been misunderstood. The following
extract is from an article in the Edin-
burgh Review:
with regard to the vendible alb
solutions and indulgences, with her
traffic in which the Romish Church
has been so long reproached, we do
verify believe that there are not ten
individuals who can read, that really
conceive that anything so utterly alb
surd or abominable either is, or ever
was, carried on with the sanction of
the Catholic authorities. DISPENSE
tons from canonical impediments to
marriage, which are not very differ
ent from our special licenses, and alb
solution from canonical censures, are
issued, no doubt, from the chancery
of Rome; but indulgences to sin, or
absolutions from sin, neither are, nor
ever were, granted by this court, or
by any acknowledged authority. A
fee, too, is, no doubt, paid to the Off
Ger who issues these writs; but this
is no more the price of the absolution
or dispensation, than the fee paid to
the clerk of magistrate who admin
listers an oath in this country is the
price of the oath. Ecclesiastical PEN
ances, moreover, are sometimes COM
muted into pecuniary mulcts, at the
direction of the proper authority; but
these fines always go into fund for
charitable uses; and in fact a similar
communication is expressly authorized
by the canons of our own church;
vide Sparrow's Collection, Articuli
pro clero, 1854; and Canons 1910 c.
xiv, concerning Combinations. Such
Ia the whole amount of the Romish
doctrine and practice as to venal alb
solutions and indulgences

At a recent meeting of the Cali
fornia Conference of the Free
Methodist Church at San Jose, the
following resolution was adopted
eve view with alarm the ag-
gressive attitude Of the Catholic
Church, and will resent any at
tempt to dictate the policy of our
government, especially in refer
ence to free speech, free press and
free schools. We consider the
present anti Catholic agitation as
very timely, and believe that every
Free Methodist should inform him
self in regard to this movement.
We know Of no better way to do
so than to take the Menace, a
paper with an immense circulation
and wide influence and devoted
entirely to this cause.
This from supposedly intelligent
leaders of a Christian denomina-
ton! Little wonder that bigotry
is rampant in the rank and file of
Methodism Since the leaders are
blind to the light of truth, it can
not be expected that Those whom
they are supposed to lead will
escape falling into the pit.

PARISH SCHOOLS IN SCOT
LAND.

The Glasgow Observer makes
the following statement regarding
the kind of treatment accorded
Catholic elementary schools in
Scotland:
''In all Catholic elementary
schools in Scotland at present re-
ceiving State aid, a time table is
framed by or with the approval
of his Majesty's inspectors. That
time table is usually framed so
that religious training is given
before the beginning or after the
close of the State school day. For
example, if the State school day
begins at 10 q. M, religious teach
ing may start at half past nine.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-08-30

spread. One really good Catholic does
more, / honestly believe, to convert
his nome Catholic neighbors than a
whole course Of sermons. A group of
non-practicing Catholics will do more
to keep none Catholics out of the
Church than all the nonsense which
has been taught during the past three
hundred years. There is nothing
which appeals to the ordinary COM
nonsense Englishman so much as
fact I am quite sure that many of
those who have been brought into the
Catholic Church have not been brought
really because they appreciated little
matters of theology, but because they
appreciated the fact that the Catholic
religion made those Catholics they
knew better Christians and neighbors
than any other religion they knew of. .
The Need of the Catholic Press.
Dealing with isolation again, he
said that the results may be very
much diminished by the reading of
Catholic newspapers. The present
and the late Holy Father have spoken
strongly about this. Leo XIII said
that a Catholic newspaper in a fam
lily is like a perpetual mission. I'm
vain," he declared, will be all we do
if there is not a good Catholic press
to support us in carrying on our work.
Reciprocity cannot all be on one side.
1t is all very well to provide Cath
Ole press. But the mere provision
of Catholic press will not be posi-
BILE unless the Catholic public loyalty
support it. 1t is not possible to con-
tinue to produce Catholic newspapers
unless Catholics will buy them, and in
this matter I do think that Catholics
all over England are extremely back
ward. The only way Catholic press
can be at all good press is by re-
ceiving the same sort of support
which enables the non-Catholic press
to be a good press. Many Catholics
think that Catholic papers are pro-
duced for nothing, and they want
them for nothing at the church-door.
1t is quite extraordinary the effect
which is produced in family which
takes a Catholic paper 1 am quite
certain that those who, week after
week, read a Catholic paper are alto
gether better Catholics for it."

and if the State school day finish
at 3 80, religious teaching follows
from $3.50 to 4. It is given in the
school house, but not in the hours
of the State school day. The
State pays nothing for it. The
school buildings are the property
of the Catholic Church. The
teachers are employed by the
Catholic managers. The State
grant, of couGse, goes towards the
paying of those teachers, but
since the State Inspector takes no
cognizance of religious teaching
whatever, no part of the grant can
be said to be made on account of
religious teaching. =
