THE TEACHERS SITUATION

THE TEACHERS SIT UAt ION.-
Your issue of the 10Th carries the
head lines, Religious Issue in School
Fight"
You say that you intend to get at
the truth. Permit me to assist you.
The article insinuates that Mayor
Thompson, Jacob M. Loeb, the
Masons, ct al. are making a fight on
the Teachers Federation for the pur-
pose of getting rid of Catholic teach
ers.
The conclusions are far-fetched
and your informants certainly have
an axe to grind"
AS a Catholic 1 do not fear that
single Catholic teacher will lose his
place if the Teachers Federation is
destroyed. The Catholics who are
teachers will hold their place as
teachers from their merits as teach
ers and not as Catholics.
Among my acquaintance of teach
ers large majority of those who are
Catholics desire the destruction of
the Teachers Federation.
For you to allow some of the de-
signing ,self-seeking officers of the
federation to announce that Catho-
lies are assailed is short-sighted.
have interviewed priests on this
question and they will not take part
in public school squabbles. On lit
tie reflection, you will see that all
priests have a grade school of their
own to care for, and sometimes a
high school also, and have no time
for the state schools.
Most all Catholics consider that
the public schools have been mis-
managed and large share of the
mismanagement is due to Teachers
Federation and it's domination.
But it is not our fight, we will keep
hands off, and we do not thank any
one for trying to put us into it, Such

an article as was on your front page
tends to bring up religious bitterness,
and any attempt to save a lawless,
domineering organization from de-
struction by claiming that it is a
friend of Catholics is a slur on thou
sands of good Catholics who want
this anarchistic, feminist, secret ca
bal destroyed.
The public schools are not Catho-
lie, they are not Masonic, they are
not Jewish.
By a good providence let all the
Jews, Masons and Catholics unite
and show a secret buIldozing organ
ization that it can not dictate to the
school board.-A Catholic.
THE HARRISON DRUG LAW
The Harrison act had for its purpose,
when signed by President Wilson, the
regulation of the sale and distribu-
ton of narcotic drugs in order to coll
lect all of the revenue due the gov
eminent from importers and. snug
glers of opium and it's derivatives.
The law, as written, was not an
unjust law, but the wrong itnerpreta-
ton of this law, the failure in not let
ting the drug f1ends know that their
want would be supplied to them when
necessary to cure them and to pre-
vent their death, the notice given
them that no one but a 'tquack" doc
tor would prescribe for drug addicts,
caused great suffering, thousands of
suicides and great crimes all over the
United States. This wrong and the0
wrong enforcement of the law has
made it an unjust and criminal law.

start-paving the way for the safe transport of the
ship purchase bill
Senator Kern will be reelected majority leader
he already has sufficient names to an agreement to
insure his reelection. Despite his carly views on
the question OF preparedness the Indiana solon
will be in line with the administration on that
issue. He supported the ship-purchase bill last
session, he is right" on that score And the
conservative element in the Senate has abandoned
the plan to work for the election of Senator Martin
of Virginia. Besides, the administration has no
great fear for the of the preparedness pro.
gram. relying Republican votes in both House
and Senate to put it through.
Any suggestion that the White House is con-
cerned with the projected plan to GUST Senator
Clarke as president of the Senate pro tempore is
of deprecated, but the steam roller is fred
up just the same and carries with it the threat of
Presidential dspleasure for those who oppose the
administrations pet measure.
Senator Owen seems to be taking a prominent
part in the pre-caucus conference, and in some
quarters it is suggested that he will have an i'm
portant word to say to the successor to Senator
Clarke and the handling of the important ship
purchase measure. Senator Owen, with Senator
Kern is the most insistent advocate of cloture in
the Senate and unquestionably will lead the fight
against the Senate rules,
Although several Republican leaders have con-
ceded the passage of cloture rule, if pressed by
the Democrats there is every indication that the
Democrats will have to depend upon Republican
votes to put this measure through. Senator Owen
if he attempts to bind the to a cloture rule
will be able to count from seven to ten boilers
and if these join with the recalcitrant Democrats
who sank the ship-purchase BILL there is excel
lent chance that the administration steam roller
will return to the shop for further repairs.
