CATHOLICS SELL SCHOOLS

remain much as before; they will come
under the active supervision of the
Catholic education authorities, who
will have the appointment of Catholic
teachers. But the salaries and other
expenses will be paid by the State,
which will be responsible for the up
keep of the schools, but leaves the Sc
lection and approval of teachers entire
ly in the hands of the Catholic authori-
ties.
The sale of the schools, it is said, is
matter which Rome has left entirely
to the discretion of the local authori-
ties, and as the Catholic authorities,
have full religious control in the
schools, of which the fabric alone ap-
pears to come under the survey of the
secular authorities, the position is sat
isfactory, since immediate Catholic in
terests are not threatened in the least.
Whatever drawbacks there may be, at
least the situation places Catholic
schools on the same footing as the
other confessional schools that receive
State aid, and no discrimination is
made.

Not only in this country but else
where Father De Smet labored in the
interests of his Indian people. He
went to Europe to seek funds and
workers and in 1874 returned with
new workers for the field. He went
by canoe to Fort Vancouver to confer
with Bishop Blanchet and returned,
founding st. Ignatius Mission among
the Kalispels of the Bay. These lived
on Clark's Fork of the Columbia Riv-
er.
Manifold were the ways in which
Father De Smet served the interests
of both the Red Men and the country
in general. The Blackfeet were a
menace to other Indians among whom
he worked, SO he exerted his influence
with them in the Yellowstone Valley,
and, after a battle with the Crows, the
Blackfeet listened to his words, and
he induced them to make peace.
Other Great Work.
Father De Smet's residence among
the Indians closed when he returned
to st. Louis, being assigned to other
work at St. Louis University. The
United States Government looked to
him for help in troubles with the Red
Men, and found it. After this he was
to help the Indians by pleading their
cause before European nations and by
becoming their Intermediary at Wash
ington
His influence over the Indians was
powerful for good. In a time when
they were restless and hostile he be.
came a great pacificator. A historic
feature of his work came when he went
on a mission with the Peace Commits
sioners, later deciding to go alone into
the camp of the hostile Sioux. Gen.
Stanley had said: Father De Smet
alone OF the entire white race could
penetrate to these cruel savages and
return safe and sound
Father De Smet died at st. Louis in
1873.

The Social Action Department of the

"The consuming public, the wage

All parishioners of Seattle churches
are now members of one, big Dollar

contribute a dollar every Sunday for
the maintenance of their churches and
parochial schools. Many will give
more, because they have long since
realized the meaning of the fifth pre-

only twenty-five or fifty cents because
they cannot afford more, but they will
keep before them the "Dollar-a-Sun-

their giving.
Although many of the parishes
throughout the country have adopted
the Dollar-a-Sunday idea and have in
stalled the envelope system, Seattle is
the first city in the world in which all
the parishes have standardized on this
system.
Most Seattle parishes have, for some
time, used the envelope, or Dollar-a'

JAMES ]. FARRELL
FOUNDER OF GEORGIA LAYMEN'S
ASSOCIATION STRICKEN AT
HOME.
(By N. C. w. C. News serviceO

(By N. c.. w. C.. News Service)
Catholics all over the South are still
experiencing the shock and sense of
loss which the sudden death of j. j.
Farrell, president of the Catholic Lay
mems Association of Georgia, caused
when news of it came to them last
week. Mr.. Farrell's notable work in
behalf of the Church in the apostolate
which he initiated, and which he had
directed for several years, made him
known not only in his own state but
throughout the country.
Death came to Mr. Farrell at his
home, in Augusta, Ca, while he was
surrounded by his family of wife and
four children. He was about to take
his seat at the breakfast table when
the fatal heart stroke ended his ca
reer as one of the most jealous and
exemplary laymen in the Church in
the Southland.
Funeral a Tribute.
Right Rev. Bishop B. J. Kelly OF
Savannah paid a high tribute to Mr.
Farrell in a message which he sent to
Augusta to be read in st. Patrick's
Church on the occasion of the requiem
high Mass which was celebrated fo1
the repose of his soul. The funeral
ceremonies were attended by great
concourse of Catholics and non-Catho
| lies.
Mr.. Farrell was 48 years old, and
for a long time had been prominent
and popular in Augusta and other cit
les of Georgia. Although bigotry was
rife in the state, Mr.~Farrell, without
once compromising with his faith OF
| conscience, won the respect of non
| Catholics. He was a veteran of the
| Spanish-American war and spent q
| number of years as writer and editol
4 for the Augusta Chronicle and the Au
gusta Herald. He was for a time alst
secretary of the Board of Commerce
of that city.

Council of judges.

The Council of Judges is consti.
tuted of representatives of employers
and workers in equal numbers all in
the same trade or industry. The Par
is bakers, for example, will select from
their ranks their own representatives
and their employees will choose in like
manner. Whenever a misunder-
standing arises between employer and
worker respecting wages or other
questions of their relationship, the
councillors elected by the employers
and those elected by the employees will
meet, hear the facts and decide the
case.
All the candidates proposed by the
Catholic Unions have been elected to
represent the bank clerks, statesmen,
metallurgical workers, seamstresses,
etc. The first to be elected was NJ.
Tessier, general secretary of the
French Confederation of Christian
Workers. Mile. Bardot, general
secretary of the Catholic Women's
Union, was also elected a representa-
tive to the section of the dressmak-
erS.
The results of the elections are a
proof that the National Confedera-
tion of Labor can no longer boast of
it's all-powerful sway over the work
ers. The leaders of the Socialist un-
| ions are simply stupefied. The lead.
ers of the National Confederation have
been made to realize that they must
reckon with the Confederation OF
Christian Workers, whose membership
has been doubled within a year.
