IT SHOULD have Been
CALLED MURDER
COrOn er's Jury Investigates Death
Of Girl Who Tried a Three
Story Jump to Liberty

A coroner's jury investigated the
death Of Alice Halloran, which
event might better be called mur-
der at the hands Of the church of
Rome, has rendered the following
decision:
We find that Alice Halloran came
to her death in st. ,Michael's Hos
pital in the city Of Toronto on jan
uary 10, 1919, caused by fracture
Of the skull received by falling from
a third story window at the home
Of the Good Shepherd, West Lodge
avenue, while attempting to escape
from that institution, to which she
had been committed for an indefinite
period by a police magistrate of the
city Of Toronto.
We find that, the term Indefinite
period" added to the sentence was an
incentive to ,her wanting to escape
from the institution; that had the
windows been protected the fatality
would not have occurred; and we
are of the opinion that some form Of
academic education should be incor.
porated into the systems of the sale
institution and other institutions Of
like nature.--Verdict Of the jury
at the inquest in the Morgue last
night.
The above is contained in an ar
ticle given special prominence II
that splendid Canadian daily, tn,
Toronto Star, issue for February
18th. The paper gives lengthy
list OF questions and answers which
are a part Of the jury's records il

lW77T HEN the democratic premier
'lsWS of Roman Catholic Bavaria
lSH and the sturdy patriotic
- premier and idol Of France
were both shot by assassins almost
simultaneously, the press said their
assailants were anarchists. Per-
haps they were. But that does not
mitigate the fact that most anarch-
lists are Roman Catholics and that
popery is the most fertile cause Of
anarchy.
When John Schrank shot Col.
Roosevelt in Milwaukee over six
years ago, the press reported that
Schrank was an anarchist. But
his trial disclosed that he was a
Roman Catholic ex-saloonkeeper.
When Czolgozs assassinated Pres
ident Mckinley at Buffalo in the
midst Of a public reception, the
press reported that the murderer
was an anarchist. But his trial
disclosed that he was a Roman
Catholic.

Pershing and the Scribes

An Illustration Of the carelessneSs

infest some newspaper sanctuIns, is

of The Indianapolis NetOs, relative
to the Church affiliation Of General
Pershing, and which speaks Of him.

Presbyterian" and then goes on ia
mention his confirmation in the
Protestant Episcopal church by the
Episcopal bishop, Rev. Chas. Brent
The Kansas City Star, date of Feb
18, reprints the paragraph and gives
it this misleading and erroneous
headline: "Pershing changed his
reEgion"-a charge which would
amaze no one more than General
Pershing himself.
The fact that in transferring a
church membership from the Pres.
byterian to the Episcopal church
neither General Pershing nor any
other person changes his religion

difference between the churches are
those of ceremonial and creedal ex.
preston; that all the Protestant de
nominations no matter how much
they may appear to differ from eacf
other, are but branches Of the great
Protestant religious force Of the
country, and that in changing from
one to the other a person change.

Much of the alleged information
given to the public, on these mat

and habits of thought are possessed
of too much ignorance saturated
with, a malignant bigotry, to writ,
intelligently on such subjects, ant
