Lief that public school funds should be

rich in historic interest, abounding In
stories OF romance and tragedy, and in the
very history Of its founding can be found
most satisfactory answer to the question,
"Whot's the matter With Dubuque9"
In 1898, that particular locality now un-
der discussion was held in the name Of the
king OF Spain and was inhabited by the
Sac and Fox Indians, who we're reputed to
be wealthy by virtue Of rich lead mines
and who, up to that time, had effectively
resisted every effort of the "pale face" to
penetrate their domain.
II was In that year that Julien Dubuque,
French Canadian Roman Catholic ad-
venturer, with q small band Of buccaneers,
sailed down the Mississippi river In an I'm
provtsed craft and landed at the mouth Of
Catfish Greek on the east bank Of the
river about three miles above the present
site Of East Dubuque. 1t was here that
Dubuque's party met Kettle Chief, head Of
the Sac and Fox tribes, not only for the
purpose Of trying TO persuade the chief to
allow them to cross the river, 40 no band
Of explorers had before been able to do but
for the more dishonorable purpose Of
swindling the Indians out Of their property
in lead mines on the west bank Of the
river.
The chief was stubborn, Of course, and
refused to treat with the Civilized" whites,
having heard no doubt of the methods OF
the white men In their dealings with the
redskins Of the east In the earlier days.
1t was at this juncture that Dubuque
reflected the cunning Of his Jesuit teachers
Here It was that his schooling in the black
arts Of ancient Romanism was to bring him
! victory. In his cargo aboard were several
barrels Of turpentine which he had taker
on at the turpentins camps Of southern
Canada, and these were anchored q short
distance up Catfish Creek from where tn,
parley was being held with the India1
chief.
Surreptitioualy It was arranged that tws
Of Dubuques party slip away from tn,
councils and pour a few barrels Of "turps'
on the waters Of Catfish Greek. They die
as they were commanded and as tn,
turpentine came floating down the creel
Dubuque, standing near the waters edge
tipped a firebrand into 1t and, to the as
tonishment Of the unlettered savages, pill

KENTUCKY LAUGHS At IRISH ROMAN CATHOLICS SUDDEN LOVE FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

- HE Democrats Of Louisville, Ken

LIZ Irish Catholic olitico-ecclesiastical
machine that has run their affairs
for years, to vote for q young Irish Cath
olic for mayor with the promise that the
Democratic party stands for" the public
schools and keeping them out Of politics.
"A great laugh has gone up, even among
Democratic, at this clever evasion and pos
ing.
On the bfllboards, huge advertisements
show the picture Of Charles J. Cronan, now
sheriff, with the information that his
party Il the champion of the public school,
and would keep It out Of politics. That Ia
the first principle the party 10 declared to
"stand for"

chine which has never BEEN friend Of the
public school but its bitter enemy. The
only use the WhAllen Gang has for the pub

means the division Of the public school

The city Of Dubuque could wen b
termed working model Of civilization ua-
der Roman Catholic rule. While the church
claims sixty percent Of the population,
Protegtants and nom Catholics deny the
claim with the assertion that the Roman
Catholic population will not exceed thirty
five percent. But that thirty-fve precent
is organized and represents the church
that owns the advantageous positions and
the dazzling institutions. This organized
Roman machine browbeats the poor and
boycotts the well-to-do into line; It acts in
unison at the polls while the Protestants
never seem to think of getting together;
and after the fashion Of papal politics as
it is perfected by the hierarchy the Roman
Catholic political machine rules and ruins
just as effectively as if every voter in the
city we're Roman Catholic.
Father McGrady, a Roman Catholic
priest who, several years ago, quit the
church In disgust, once said that the closed
and clustered institutions of Rome are
one Of the secrets of her power and long
domination over tho people. If this be
true, it is little wonder that the city OF
Dubuque is apparently helpless in the
grasp of the papacy and under the thumb
of the Roman Catholic political machine.

party" and that Democrats will vote for

party" says that the Democrats "stand
for" the public schools. They can't help
themselves.
Here Is why.
Prior to 1910 the public school systsm
Of Louisville was an important asset for
graft in the hands Of the Whallen Gang.
Boss Whallen, brother Of the present
Boss Whallen, named every member Of tho
school board in those days and 80 percent
Of the teachers and employees were Roman
Catholic.
Pope Plus ks declaration that "sduco-
tion Outsids the Catholic church % domn-
GbIs herssy had been echoed BY the Amer
lean Irish Catholic clergy such a. Cardinal
Gibbons who Stigmatized the American
public school as an "smpsrfeet and viCtous
system Of education, Whsck undsrmiass tho
religion Of youth"
The priests were, than a. now, dsnounc-
ing and vilifying, instilling hate and pieju-
dice in the young, never expecting to reap
the whirlwind They thought ths Whallsn,
Of "Catholic America" could manage the
political end.
Father Phelan Of st. Louis openly con.
fessed chat the Catholics stand before ths
country 81 the enemies Of the public
school,"
The Chicago Tablet declared they werc
"sinks Of moral pollution and nurseries Of
hell" and Father Schencr that they "havs
produced nothing but Goddess generation
Of heathens and blackEuards."
