Anti. Catholic Agitation and Hos.
tility Have Weakened It's
Party.
Rather Bad Policy to Continue
Attacks Upon Catholic
Church.
FEARS LOSING SUBSCRIBERS

The Appeal to Reason. we'll known
Socialist organ-"the little old APP
peal" as IL affectionately calls
itself-has begun to trim its sails on
the Catholic question. In its issue
OF February 81, and in that of Feb
ruary 2S, the editor, Fred d. Warren,
endeavors to answer some questions
of a correspondent from Arkansas as
to "Why Socialism is opposed to
Catholicism" and as to the best way
for Socialists ito meet the attacks of
Catholic church officials without at
lacking the religion of the Cath
olics." Editor Warren advises his
correspondent on the first point that
1.-THE Socialist party is not opposed to
Catholicism, or any other form of
religion" and proceeds to show why
this is (although at the same time
he quite bravely strives to prove
that the church has ever Opposed
progress" etc, etc.. In doing this
he makes the following enlightening
and surprising statement: "Witness
France where the property of the
Catholic church was confiscated by
the State and its priests driven from
its border. This has not helped the
working class'-enlightening be-
cause it was the Socialists of France
who were the most active in support
of this action, surprising in that an
American "comrade" and champion
of confiscation would acknowledge
that it was of no avail to the work
ing class"
AS to the second point, the editor
warns his questioner against at
lacking the church, showing the
good results that have come from a
policy of silence on this matter in
Crawford county, Kansas. In both
articles he refers rather sarcastically
TO you Socialists who are smitten
with the anti-Catholic fever"
There is reason for all this-a
reason which it is not difficult to
see. The Socialist party has been
losing members-and perhaps the
Appeal feels that it will soon be
also losing subscribers. The direct
action "schism" has torn the party
asunder and the present anti-Cath-
Ollie agitation has drawn many of
the faithful toward the numerous
patriotic" organizations which have
sprung up, and papers such as the
Menace, the Peril. the Liberator and
the Sentinel, which have Matched
them.
The New Review, a Socialist pub
LEGATION of some standing, has even
recently been denied the privilege OF
sale at Socialist propaganda meet
ings in Manhattan because it dared
to point out this falling off in the
party ranks. And so "the little old
Appeal" has seen a great light-that
1t is rather bad policy to encourage
agitation against the church to too
great a degree. II might attract
other Adventures to set up an out
and out anti-Catholic movement,
capturing some of the deluded fol-
lowers of the Appeal and thereby
hurting the Appeals pocket book.

County Superintendent Lynn Re-
ceives School Boards Applica-
ton and Names Board Of
Three Appraisers.
TO MEET ON AUGUST 20
is Lot 4 In Chatham Square
on Fulton Street, Near
Sixth.

Steps have been taken to condemn
lot four in Chatham Square by the
school board, pursuant to the resolu
ton passed at the meeting a month
ago. Superintendent e. G. Lynn OF
| Lee county, was here yesterday, ap-
pointed the appraisers and named the
| date on which the appraisal is to be
made, and had the necessary notices
| served.
The appraisers appointed by Super
intendent Lynn are John Nagel,
Captain T. F. Baldwin, and H. r. Col
llsson. These men were named after
Superintendent Lynn, who came down
from Donnellson,' yesterday, had re-
ceived the application of the school
board in the matter.
Superintendent Lynn ordered the
appraisers to meet on August 20,
Thursday, and to appraise the prop.
erty then. The necessary legal no
tees were made to George and Julia
Wentzell, owners Of the property and
i put in the hands Of Sheriff Crimmins
to serve.
The property which the board is EN-.
deavoring to secure is the fourth lot
on Fulton street from the corner of
Sixth street. 1t adjoins the three
lots which were purchased for the site
for the new Garfield school. In order
to give the new building sufficient
room 1t was decided to buy the fourth
lot. ...-
The board however, was not able to
make any deal with the owners Of the
lot in the matter. They offered a
price which was rejected by the own
ers.. The price was $500. If the
board do not secure this lot it would
mean the building of retaining walls,
and perhaps there would be friction
between the directors and the prop
eFty owners. sp
For this reason the board authoriz
ed the commencement of condemna
ton proceedings. ...
Must Get New Referees.
When Sheriff Crimmins came to
serve notices on John Nagel and H. R.
Collision he found that these two men
were out of the city and would be
absent for some time. Consequently
other appointments must be made.
Superintendent Lynn was notified at
once and will come to Keokuk on Mon
day to name the two members of the
board to serve in place Of Mr.. Nagel
and Mr.. COLLISION.
