PAID TO
FIND JOBS GET them

Positions for so wounded men to
learn the jewelry trade were offered to
the knights of Columbus by Joseph
Fahys of the Fahys Watch Co.. 10
Maiden Lane, New York City. The men
will be given work in the Fahys' fac
tory at Sag Harbor, L. l., New York,
among attractive surroundings and be
paid $18 per week while they are learn
ing the trade.
The experiment being conducted by
the knights of Columbus at the sug-
gestion of Joseph G. Pelletier of Bos-
ton, member of the X. of G. war ac-
tivities committee and District Attor-
ney of the Hub, of paying selected ex-
service men 81 per day to find work
for their comrades, is meeting with
surprising success. III
The X. of G. flying wedge of job
hunters, as it has been called, COM
menced it's drive for work in New
York City early in the week, one hum
dred soldiers, sailors and marines go
ing over distinct zones of the business,
industrial and mercantile sections Of
the city under the direction Of Peter
w. Collins, the X. of G. employment
director.
The men stormed various plants, es-
pecially the large electrical and manu-
featuring concerns. They presented
the claims of the veterans of the Great
War for work, and the employment
managers of the big concerns respond
ed generously. On the first day out
5S7 jobs were found, an average of
nearly six jobs for each man. Skilled
and unskilled callings were represent
ed in the list of jobs gathered and not
one job was accepted in a concern
where disputes exists between employ
ers and employees. Jobs were found
for 100 men in sugar refinery, so
stenographers were accommodated, Is
salesmen,e60 clerks, 50 bookkeepers, sc
automechanics, 6 electricians, IL ma.
chinists, 10 tai1ors, 20 pressmen, 10
linotype operators, and so on.
One of the job-hunters, Joseph H.
Kehoe, found $50 job with an express
company which he took himself, SO
another job-hunter was enlisted in the
flying wedge to take Kehoe's place.
Reports are not at hand for the sec
ond days drive; but it is estimated
that the K-C offensive against the no
job line will result in over 1900 jobs
a week for ex-service men.
Chairman William J. Mulligan of K
of c. states the method of paying vet
Grams to find jobs for other veterans
will be employed in other cities if con
tinuously successful here.

Defeat Of the smith-Towner Bill Neces-
cary. Cardinal Mercier on Rights Of
Parents In Education.

In the foregoing articles we have
shown the character of the Smith
Towner bill Is 5635) and it's purpose
the Capitalization Of control Of edu-
cation in the hands of the Federal
government. We have also described
the character and scope of the propa-
ganda conducted by the National Edu-
cational Association in favor Of the
project. The contention that the prop.
aganda is being carried on incessantly
is borne out by the appearance in the
Detroit Free Press on May 1S, and in
other papers Of an article by Towner
himself. In confirmation Of the view
held by US that private schools should
not be unduly fnterfered with, we
quote in part an editorial from the De.
troft Free Press (of April 27). In this
editorial the claim is advanced that
there should be no undue meddlins
with these schools, because in the pri.
yate schools alone religious principles,
the real foundation Of real patriotism,
are taught and put into practice. The
article also shows that the American
mind and public opinion is not inclined
to overlook this valuable asset Of the
private schools. We read further:

scatter-brained thinking and living,
when even the children are allowed
to elect their studies it is well to re-
call and vitalize once more those great
fundamentals embodied in the Ordin-
ance of 1887 in the words:
Religion, morality and knowledge
being necessary to good government
and the happiness of mankind, schools
and the means of education shall for
ever be encouraged"
Text Of Ordinance MutiIated.
But, to encourage does not mean to
monopolize,-thev very thing the Smith
Towner bill would ultimately bring
about. Why, we may rightly ask, does
the N. e. A. seek to veil the final ef-
feet of its propaganda,-t1is very mon
opolization? And why does the copy Of
the Educational Bill, sent out by the
N. E. A., give the words of the fam
Gus Ordinance of 1887 in mutilated
form, omitting the first part of the SEN
tence: Religion, morality and knowl-
ledge being necessary to good govern
ment and the happiness of man
kind. -?
On the whole, one of the most seri-
Gus objections to the whole scheme
proposed by the Smith !Towner bill and
fostered by the N. e. A. is, that it
|exalts the mission Of the State far be-
yond its proper limitations and that
it grossly ignores the God-given natur-
al rights of parents in the education
of their children. It is in times Ike
the present, where a recognized ten
dency to abuse State powers and vio-
late parental rights prevails. that the
accepted Christian view must he en-
phasized again and again.

Charges of gross extravaganza
through mismanagement of the af-
fairs of the Christian Science Publish
ing Society, misrepresentation Of the
circulation figures of the Monitor, mis-
conduct and inetficiency, are made
against the trustees of the publishing
society by John v. Dittemore in his
answer to the proceedings brought in
the Supreme court by the publishing
society trustees against the directors
Of the First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist, of Boston, to have determined
the. authority Of the respondents In
debating to- the petitioners, states a
recent issue of the Boston Evening
Transcript.
The filing of the proceedings dis
closed friction in the faith for period
of years, not only between the parties
to this litigation, but through litiga-
tion which was subsequently brought
by a church and individuals in Nash
vile, Tenn. Mr.. Dittemore asserts
that the trustees of the publishing
house have sought to withdraw the
publishing society from the legitimate
control Of the board Of directors of
the church, thus introducing a division
in the Christian Science movement.
Mr. Dittemore replies to the charges
in part as follows:
"The plaintiffs are not and for a
long time have not been loyal, faithful
and consistent believers in and advo-
Gates of the principles of Christian
Science as taught by Mary Baker G..
Eddy in her book entitled Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures

clerical agitators and anti-Catholic
editors who push pen for profit:
The LlbeIous Quotation.
I'VE claim (says Delpino) that
many secular Italian societies and
non Catholic Italian newspapers are
much more American in their spirit
and in their action than, for instance,
the above said knights of Columbus
society, and we prove 1t by stating that
no Italian non-Catholic newspaper and
no Italian non-Catholic society would
sponsor such un-American sentiments
as those that are expressed in the
following excerpt from the oath ad-
ministered to the members of the X.
of c., to-wit:
That will in voting always vote
for a X. of G. in preference to a
Protestant, especially Mason, and
that will leave my party so to do;
that if two Catholics are on the ticket
l will satisfy myself which is the bet
ter supporter of Mother Church and
vote accordingly.
That will not deal with or en-
ploy Protestant if in my power to
deal with or employ Catholic. That
will place Catholic girls in Protes-
tant families that a weekly report
may be made of the inner movements
of the heretics.'"
This same editor is a delectable i'm
portation from Italy of the Ferrer type
who thrive by organizing atheism to
persecute the Christian faith. They
appeal to the lowest passions of re.
ligious hatred and their disciples are
the ilk of bomb-throwers who wreck
churches and recently set off an in.
fernal machine in the New York
cathedral. They are breeders of Bol.
shevism in it's worst form as a protest
against God and Christian morality.
Such disturbers of peace and enc.
mics Of liberty have no place on
American soil. The American state
has succeeded in establishing here
the equality of all religions before the
law. The Catholics of the colony OF
Maryland were the first to bring this
principle Of religious liberty, so little
understood in Europe, to the new
world. OF course the Puritans didn't
take kindly to the idea of tolerating
Catholics, but today it is against the
spirit of America to persecute or even
discriminate against anyone on &C.
count of their religious beliefs. The
European anti-clerical coming to our
shores with his old-world prejudice
must be taught by force of law, If not
Of public opinion, that he cannot carry
on his un-Christian and undemocratic
propaganda in the land of the free.
When any anti-clerical, foreign Ian
gauge demagogue begins to mislead
the people and tell lies harmful tc
the good name and reputation of his
neighbor he should be brought to task
before the tribunal Of justice to an
swer for his offense against public
decency and law. It is to be hoped
that the Knights of Columbus will be
able to prove that no one can malic
iously SANDER any organization or per.
son in this city without paying for his
crime.

their telling points in support of the

and those who attended both meet

the fact is that on that occasion he
was far from his usual robust state
of health, having suffered for many
anxious hours with a temporary ill.,

travelling. 1t was only by dint of his
marvellous will power that he had mas
