ROOSEVELT ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The very fact that we believe as
one of the cardinal principles of our
American public policy in the non-sec-
tartan public school system, supported
by the money of the state, would make
us insist that Catholic and Protestant,
Jew and Gentle are in every respect
treated alike as regards these schools.
The Catholic must be given exactly
the same rights as the Protestant in
the management of the schools and in
teaching them. The Protestant who
tries to keep a school board exclusive
ly Protestant is an enemy of the pub
lie schools; and SO is he If he tries to
do the same thing with the teaching

CALIFORNIA NDITS APOSTLE

Mr.. Edwin Markham, the well-known
writer, author of "The Man with the
Hoe" and other poems and articles,
has recently written volume on Gal
ifornia the Wonderful" dealing with
the history and achievements and nat
ural beauties of that state. AS must
be done in any story of the great far
western country, the author necessa,
rily alludes to the work of the Fran.
clscan missionaries who laid the
foundation for the Standardization of
California. Mr.. Markham does not
agree with the beliefs of these sons
OF st. Francis; he does not, for ex-
ample, believe in the He'll which they
preached to the Indians, but he never.
theless cannot refrain from praise for
the work which they accomplished and
the spirit in which this work was
done.
Bartolome de las 'Casas he calls "a
soul touched with holy anger, a true
priest of the Lord. He had in him
the stuff of heroes-consecratio to
humanity, long PATIENCE But it is
properly to the great Junipero Sierra.
the ardent" as he calls him, that
his most generous tribute is paid.
This great yet gentle spirit who took
the fate of California upon his reso.
Lutte shoulders" he speaks of as fol.
lows:
AS an orator he was singularly
modest, deploring his lack of the in.
ternal fire. that other speakers flung
out to make men burn for Christ He
might have stayed in Europe and risen
to high place and power as prince of
the Church. But Sierra did not seek
this sort of distinction, since he be.
longed to that higher order of souls to
whom honors and station and power
in themselves are nothing - nothing
because they are valuable only as
tools in helping us to serve the good,
to serve God and the people. To see
this truth is to get glimpse of the
spiritual fact of our existence, is to
get sense of life's true values. And
Junipero Sierra had this deep insight
into the things worth while: so we
find that he had no self to serve, and
that he longed only to spend his days
in the service of his fellows, and to
find his one reward in the good &C.
complished." ("California the Won
derful." New York, 1915, p. 7O.)
OF Sierra in the long trip which led
the beginnings of the missions, he
says: Father Sierra, the leader of
one pilgrim band, insisted upon shar-
ing the hardships, so he walked all the
way. We see him leading his pill

ENGLISH OPINIONS ON TIL
IRISH SITUATION,

The following article of English or.
igin expresses the view which some
English writer's have taken of the
Irish situation and the decided change
for the worse in Ireland's present no.
litical condition so far as the Home
Rule Bill is concerned. The Liver.
pool Catholic Times, in passing on
the coalition government and its eff.
feet upon Irish politics, states the sit.
uation as follows:
ut would seem as if the Govern.
ment believed the Catholics and Ma.
tionalists of Ireland would endure any.
thing and had resolved to put their
patience to the test. An Irish CORE.
spondent of the Manchester Guardian
says that when Mr.. Redmond, the
leader of the Irish Party, was invited
to join the Coalition Government 1t
was explained that he could not have
a place on the Irish Executive, las

At the conclusion of a description
OF Father Serra's labors we read this:
For over thirty years Sierra was con-
secrated to the service of the Indians.
Sixteen of these years were spent in
California, building up nine great Mis-
sions, where six thousand Indians
were taught the rudiments of religious
doctrine and were trained in the be-
ginnings Of an industrial and ordered
life. The last half of this mission
work must certainly command the ad-
miration of all persons, whatever
their creed. No one can fail to adj
mire at least the great social service
rendered by this earnest and patient
friar. When in 1884 he passed on to
the rewards Of another life, he left
behind him picturesque buildings to
take the places of the old-time huts
OF reeds and mud-left gardens and
orchards and granaries and flocks and
herds to take place of the IMPROVE
dence of the Indians that called down
hunger and suffering" Up. 74.) with
ceaseless labors and in fewer than 70
years, Junipero Sierra and his circle
of fraters, built twenty-one great Mis-
sions, where tens of thousands of In
dams came under their care; and the
property-lands, flocks, and harvests
ran up into millions of dollars"
(p. 76.)
AS to working conditions in the
Missions, the Indians, he tells us,
were required to put in only six hours
of work in winter and seven hours in
summer, and this long before the
eight-hour day was heard of or even
thought Of" (p. -7S) The friars in
this arrangement took into considera-
ton the well-known aversion of the
Indians to any kind of work.
Enough has been quoted from the
work of Markham. Out in California
the memory of Sierra and his follow
ers is today held in the esteem which
it deserves, long after an avaricious
Mexican government had despoiled
the missions and seized upon the
goods which the friars had gathered
in these places for the Indians well
fare. The anniversary of Serra's bur-
ial is a legal holiday in the state of
California, and great bronze statue
of the franciscan stands in Golden
Gate Park, San Francisco, while Mrs.
Stanford, a non-Catholic, had a gran
lite monument erected to him at Mon
terey.
1t is certainly not out of place, in
this connection to again remind Catho.
lies of their duty to become familiar
with the heroes of their faith, partic.
ularly in this country. Regarding the
Franciscans in California, they should
consult the volumes containing the re.
suits of years of research given to
the subject by Rev. Zepherius Engel.

According to a correspondent of

solely to priest, the Rev. Hugh p.

Gallagher went to the legislature, in

ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.

ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.
Sixty-four years ago the British Par
lament passed an Ecclesiastical Titles
Bill, and received the Queens sigma
ture. This bill stands out in the rec
ords of bigotry as one of the most
absurd legislative acts that the British
Parliament has ever attempted to en-
force. By Papal Bull of 1850 the
Catholic Hierarchy was restored to
England, the Hierarchy having been
destroyed during the Reformation.
The celebrated English Bishop Wise
man was created Cardinal. Using
this as pretext the Prime Minister
introduced into Parliament this Of
fensive bill making it penal offense
for Catholic Archbishops or Bishops in
England or Ireland to use the title of
their See, and imposing a fine of five
hundred dollars. The children of
Gael, the world over feel thrill of
pardonable pride in recalling the fight
ing manhood of Archbishop McHale
who defied the Prime Minister and
addressed public letter to Lord John
Russell of infamous memory. In spite
OF intrigue, coercion, fines and impris-
onment, the Hierarchy of England and
Ireland remains. A passage of the
Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, the method
and manner Of it's enforcement and the
provisions it contained, must certainly
have the effect of making the Irish
Catholic clergy the last to forget the
bitter anguish suffered by the Cath
Ollie clergy at the hands of the English
government under the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill.

HOW CATHOLICS FACE DEATH,
Oliver Wendell Holmes was once
asked his opinion, as physician, on
the effect of beliefs on the minds of
those approaching death. He replied:
so far as have observed persons
nearing the end of life, the Roman
Catholics understand the business of
dying better than others. l have seen
a good many Roman Catholics on their
death-beds, and it always appeared to
me that they accepted the inevitable
with q composure which showed that
their belief, whether or not the best
to live by, was a better one to die by
than most Of the harder ones that
have replaced 1t"

IRELAND's PERIL.

\cAou the brooklyn Eagle.)
Anae there is grave peril for the
cause OF Irish Home Rule in the coa,i.
lion ministry which John Redmond
mas refused to have any part in, NAV
noe well be doubted. Ireland, loyal to
the British nation, has voluntarily
waived for the time being the issue
that is dearest to her heart, and most
closely identified with her aspirations
now through coalition, she sees the
1utcrum of her lever taken awav- Es.
sentlal to liberal ministry, her vote
at westminster is negligible for a co.
al1tlon ministry. If Unionists and 1ib.
erals stand together, dividing power
ana dividing responsibility, Ireland
nolds no balance between parties. She
can safely be laughed at.
Clearly, she is being laughed at. The
IDEA OF making j. H. M. Campbell. a
bosom friend of Sir Edward Carson.
Lord Chancellor for Ireland, is as of.
fenslve as giving the title of MARQUIS
OF Tara to Aberdeen, and much more
injurious. 1t is giving first honors to
the rebels of Ulster. It is a blunder of
the first order.
ireland deserves better of those she
neiped to power. Coalition may have
been desirable. may even have been
necessary. Against the policy adopted
lrlshmen have made no protest.
Against the working out of that policy
IN the exaltation, of Ulster disloyalty
they will protest, and in this they will
nave the full support of most Irish
Americans.

We watched her breathing through

We thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when she died.
