A Protest.

To the Editor Of The Observer: 1t is cor
slant matter of establishment in looking over th8
list of prescribed readings in various catalogues
of our Catholic colleges, to that "Iyanhoe'
and Henry Esmond' to be read by high
school pupils.
We believe that the very reading of "Ivanhoe''
and such ant-Catholc literature in the public
schools throughout the land is responsible in no
small manner for the distrUst in the younger
generation for their Catholic neighbors Thera
is warning cry against Charles KingsIey's
"ClOister and the Hearth, - WESTWARD Ho,' etc.
Why not against such viIlainous Misrepresentation
OF all Catholics in Scott? AS youth of very vida
reading could never finish of his novels, for
my Catholic sensibilities were always so offended
that in disgust would cast the book aside Yet
some argue that "Ivanhoe" is true picture Of
the time. They might use the same argument in
favor Of Daniel DerOnda" which George Eliot
wrote for the purpose of degrading the Christian
and eevating the Jew.
We noticed that in Chicago year or so ago it
was suggested that the Merchant of Venice" bs
omitted from the list of readings out of regard
for the feelings that might be aroused against the
Jewish pupils; and it acted upon accordingly.
Why not protest against ''Ivanhoe' or why is It
on the list OF catholic college entrance readings!
AN OBSERVER.
"Observer" must be very careless Oh
server, if he has never realized the fact that
Sir Walter SCOTS historical romances were
particularly favorable to the Roman Catholic
church.
In fact, Scott is considered to be one of the
most lnsldlous and powerful influences that
softened the hatred which the English and
the Scotch bore against Rome hatred
founded on the best of reasons.
All of SCOTS heroes, so far as / can remem-
Der, were Romanists, and SO were his heroines,
excepting Effe Deane
Scott never put Protestant minister in one
Of his novels, except for the purpose of hold
ing him up to scorn, hatred, derision.
Cromwell's pious troopers were caricatured,
and Cromwell himself treated with scant
respect.
Cromwell, you know had cut off the head
of a tyrannical, faithless Romanist King;
and Walter Scott, the rank Tory, hated Crom-
we'll for it.
What is the DISSECTION of these Obsercer
peopl to SCOTS ''Ivanhoe?"
Is it because he glorifed the Jewish maiden,
Rebecca?
tried to consign the beautiful girl to fate
worse than death, a0ero Roman Catholic
bdr0n8?
Ivanhoe himself was devout Romanist-
somewhat uninteresting as a hero-who bad
gone on a pious pilgrimage to the Holy Land
Richard the Lionhearted lowered above
Ivanhoe and is the real hero Of the story and
everybody knows what an extremely pune
tlllous ROmanist he was
He had virtually killed his old father he
slaughtered his prisoners in cold blood at
Acre; he was false to his wife-but he was
withal, "a good Catholic"
On his deathbed, Richard made his will in
these words:
II leave my pride to the Tempars, my
avarice to Cistercians, and my lust to the
Domnicans."
Unfortunately, this royal legacy could not
be divided into three equal parts, and surren-
