Q-Why is Bishop Muldoon inter-
fering with our schools?
A - Bishop Muldoon has been To-
Gated in Rockford for many years.
Mr.. Rogers ct al, are barking up the
wrong tree. Bishop Muldoon states
he never said Mrs. Young or Mr..
Cooley in his life and does not even
know what the plan of Mrs. Young
Ito which he was supposed to be OBJ
iecting) is about. See Chicago Tri-
bune for the entire first week of Au-
gust for verifcation of this.
Q-How many teachers in the pa
rochial schools are Protestants? How
many of the parochial school board
are Protestants?
A-None. Otherwise they would
not be Catholic schools. The word
ing of these two questions leads me
to believe that ]. K, like a great many
others, considers the public schools
to be Protestant schools. They are
not Protestant and Catholic, Jew
and Gentle, all are taxed to support
the public schools. Hence all should
have share in their management
and the public schools should be open
to all without regard to race or creed.
In conclusion, would call atten-
ton to the clause in the constitution
of Illinois which states that no per-
son shall be denied Office or position
because of religious affiliation.-

THE POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION

An ounce of prevention is worth
hundred belated investigating commit
tees, and actually the public moves be-
fore such devastating strikes occur A
public disapproval, quick and vengeful,
casts its Shadow before. A sensitive
mariner does not wait till the iceberg
strikes his vessel; he detects it's chill
presence miles away. Today astute
railroad managers and equally astute
presidents of the great railroad broth
erhoods understand that they may go
just so far in the way of bargaining.
Strikes on individual railroads occur,
but a general railroad strike, one COW
ering the whole country or a wife ter
ritory is fast becoming unthinkable.
Where railroad conflicts of such mag
nitude are in question the two parties
may threaten a lockout or strike; they
may creep to the very verge of the
conflict, but not beyond. At the very
moment when enthusiasts are clamor-
ing for compulsory arbitration in rail-
road disputes we are already approach
ing what in practice amounts to such
compulsory arbitration, with the public
as arbitrator.
IL five years sixty threatened strikes
upon the railroads of the country were
averted through the interposition tS the
public. Again and again the special
representatives of the government We're
asked to mediate, and in no instance
were their efforts fruitless. Neither
side dares refuse arbitration; neither
side dares violate the award The fate
full issues involved in war make for
peace. What is feared is not the injury
inflicted by the opponent, but the GER
tainty that the public, suffering griev-
ousy, will cause both sides to suffer in
turn. For the railroads and the broth
erhcods, with their vast resources,
could carry on for months a struggle
which the public could not endure for
weeks.-Walter Z. Weyl in Harper's

.PELLEGRA CAUSE AND
CURE DISCOVERED
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-DiscOv-
cry of the cause of ana cure fer
pellegra was announced formally to-
night by the public health service
The announcement follows the re-
cent publication of report by
Surgeon Jos. Goldberger, on year
of experiments in cooperation with
southern state health officials DEM
onstrating' the correctness of the
theory that a one sided diet lacking
in proteids would cause the disease
and that a well balanced diet would
cure it.
The final dietary tests were made
by Surgeon Goldberger and Assist
ant Surgeon G. A Wheeler at the
farm of the Mississippi penitentiaIy J,
where half a dozen conVicts were
given pellegra by feeding them for
five months on bOuntiful meals con-
sisting chiefly of cereals and sweets
and lacking in meats, milk, eggs,
beans and peas. The victims recent
ly were pardoned by the governor
and are now being restored to health
through a corrected diet.
In earlier experiments about two
hundred pellegrin patients had been
cured by balanced rations and at the
end of a year there had Jtcn a slight
recurrence of the disease in only one

As he lodges the torturing imps below

For, be ii known, that if your dog,
your cat, or your little kid,
Dare amble around upon his lot
or maybe, perhaps. if they did,

or at his flowers did glance;
He'd threaten you with his horrid law
or cause your arrest, perchance.
If you owe him money and cannot pay
on the date when the same is due
He'll bring a suit to collect the note,
just to fasten the costs on you,

and you'n never hear him own,
