BIBLES, BlCoTS and THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

BY A.. L. S.
The Catholic Bulletin, published al
Cleveland, Ohio, IN an editorial com.
ment on the speech of the Imperial
Wizard, H. w. Evans, of the Ku Kluz
Khan, made at Dallas, Texas, has
among other things, the following te
say:

much. Evans knows as well as any
one that Catholics have ever stressed
the Importance of religion Gin educa-

realize this need also, now that
visions of lopsided generation are

ais. Catholics have established their
parochial schools, have supported
them out of their own pockets and
have sent their children to them
merely because they believe that re-
ligion is necessary in education
Better citizens are the result of this
system. This hardly means that the
parochial school is an example Of di-
vided Americanism."
Editorial Is Analysed
A little analysis of this editorial
ought to be of interest to our readers,
We have here a declaration that
catholics have ever stressed the i'm
portance of religion in education u
Again the statement is made that
"they believe that religion is neces-
sary in education"

Is America to become q land of
imbeciles? Is this Republic to be
populated with degenerates, with
dope-heads, with men and women who
must have stimulants in order to
live? If so, it would be merciful if
the God who made US would sound
the trump of judgment and wind the
whole business up Immediately. And
yet, if some of our doctors and drug
stores continue to do business, we
are bound for the fock-strewn shores
of wreckage without fail.
Recently, DR.. James T. Fisher, one
of the best known physicians in
Southern California, has been arrest
ed, caught with the marked money,
as dope trafficker furnishing whole
sale quantities to the movie addicts,
of whom there are literally thousands,
and also keeping the high society ele-
ment of Los Angeles well supplied.
Narcot'' Agent Despair, who made
the arrest, declares that this physic-
ian has been dealing in unbelievable
quantities of dope and that among his
customers are some of the most
prominent business and professional
people of Los Angeles and Hollywood.
Outside of the fact, that perhaps
no physician in Southern California
stood higher than DIR. Fisher in his
profession, this ARE is not at all
surprising. For on all sides today
you hear the accusation that numer-
Gus doctors and more numerous drug
stores are engaged in making dope
iends and drunkards out of their
customers. This is disgrace. That
the very agencies to which we have
looked for health, have become the
sources of poison for body, mind and
soul is indeed shame!
A Federal Agent recently stated to
this Editor that there were at least
100 drug stores in Los Angeles
through which booze and dope could
be purchased by any addict, trusted
not to divulge their source of supply
or betray the druggist into the hands
of the law. I could not believe such
a statement at first. But upon in
quiry among those whose business it
is to know the facts as to conditions,
1 find that this officer put the matter
mildly. To say hat there are as few
as 100 such drug stores is to put the
tragic truth modestly indeed.
Recently Judge Bledsoe permitted
numerous criminals accused of the
sale of liquor and dope to plead gull
ty and accept fines, with the promise
that no Jail sentences would be i'm

1t is difficult to say how much may
have been meant to be implied in
these statements, for, if judged by
the actual actions and attitude Of the
Catholic church, it appears that that
church is favorable only to the teach
ing of the Catholic religion in connec-
ton with education. It is recalled
by the public generally that the Ca
tholic church is the antagonist to the
introduction of the Bible into the
public schools, and the Bible is the
greatest book-the fundamental book
of the Christian religion.
The Khan Wants The Bible
The Ku Klux Khan believes in the
teaching of the fundamentals of re-
ligion in the public schools, and to
this end demands the introduction of
the Bible into every public school in
the United States of America. The
Khan does not believe in the teaching
of creeds in the public schools, how
ever.
Protestant peoples are essentially a
moral people. Their religion is Of a
practical sort. Protestant peoples
everywhere believe and teach ethical
practices between man and man, and
direct communion between the in
dividual man and his God. Further
more, they believe that all the right
and sound ethical principles are
found stated and illustrated in the
Bible.
Protestants believe that right, JUS
tice and mercy practiced between and
among the individual units of a ma
ton will result in the lessening of
evil to just that extent as men and
women will practice right ethical
principles as laid down in the Holy
Bible.

TELL HIM NOW
If with pleasure

If with pleasure you are viewing any
work man is doing,
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now;
Don't withhold your appreciation till
the parson makes grafton,
And he lies with snow white lilies DER
his brow;
For no matter how you shout it, he
won't really care about it,
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the common kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life SAVIOR, and it
makes you stronger, Drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end.
If he earns your praise-bestow it; If
you like him, let him know it,
Let the words of true encouragement
be said;
Do not wait till life is over and he's
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead-Play Fair.

COOLIDGE TALKS TO THE PEOPLE
BY GILBERT O. NATIONS, PHI. D.
missouri Valley, independently

Washington, D. Especial Cor
respondence to The Independent
For more than three months this ma
ton and the world have awaited with
deep interest the message Of Presi-
dent Coolidge to congress. Polite
ians at the national capital have
looked forward to it as the keynote
of his candidacy for election to the
presidency next year.
Those who expected a conspicuous
ly great message are somewhat dis
appointed. Yet it has the merit of
tact, conservatism and political ex-
pediency.
The president is against the Town
er-Sterling School Bill. Though not
referring specifically to that measure
or to its successor in the present con-
gross, he declares himself against f.
nancial aid by the federal government
to public education in the states.
His attitude toward the creation of
a department of education in the cab
met is not very clear. But he dis
cusses public welfare and education
jointly in manner indicating that he
favors the policy urged by the hier-
archy of Rome during the last five
years for department of public well
fare with education embodied in that
department.
The message favors restriction of
foreign immigration. Rumor at the
National Capital is that the president
approves in the bill introduced by
Representative Johnson, and known
as the "Selective immigration Act of
1924"
The president favors our entry into
the World Court of the League Of Ma
tions without entering the league it.
self. He is opposed to the soldiers
bonus and in favor of tax reduction.
That attitude had already been fore
cast by the public utterances of the
secretary of the treasury several days
previous.
Gillette Reelected Speaker
Deadlocked two days, the republi-
can majority finally reelected Speak
er Gillett by compromise with the in
surgent group December 5. A few
years ago the clear majority of fifteen
republicans in the house of represent
atives would have been ample to or
ganize and control that body. But
conditions have changed.
The aroused conscience and patriot
ism of the nation is reflected in con-
gress. Seventeen members of the
house, including the whole republic
an delegations from Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and Representatives Sin
clair, of North Dakota, and LeGuard-
ia, of New York, refused to vote for
Gillett until assured by stipulations
IN writing that the house rules would
be liberalized in the following par
ticulars:
1. That the rules of the sixty
seventh congress shall be adopted for
thirty days only.
2. That during that period any
member may offer amendments to the
rules, which shall be referred to the
rules committee and proptly report
ed back for action in the house.
8. Thai such rules with any
amendments proposed by the commit
tee shall be subject to reasonable dis
cussion, amendment and record vote
in the house.
A. After the committee has report
ed any member may freely offer
amendments to any rule of the house
and call for a record vote thereon.
5. One motion to recommit shall
be in order.

I That the rules Of procedure in con-
gress are in many respects antiquat-
ed, arbitrary and unjust is well
known. The insurgents, holding the
balance of power between the demo-
cratic and republican parties, threat
ened to Cooperate with the demo-
Gratis in organizing the house unless
republican leaders would yield to their
demand for overhauling the rules.
The records of number of the in
surgents are not creditable. Some of
them voted against the present law
to restrict immigration and against
the Burnett law and their votes have
been wrong on other important meas
ures. But there os a merit in their
demand which was finally conceded
by the republican majority, that the
rules of the house Of representatives
be revised and liberalized.
Congress Deluged With Bills
Some three thousand bills and reso-
buttons were introduced in the house
Of representatives Immediately after
that body organized. More than half
of them are private measures grant
ing pensions or increase of pensions
or other favors to individuals. Sever
al hundreds should be classified as
political "pork." They appropriate
public funds for the purchase of land
and erection of buildings in cities
and towns of the congressional dis
tricts represented by the respective
members who introduced the bills.
Vast sums are thus discussed at
every session to enhance the popular
ity and political strength of senators
and representatives in their states
and districts. Some are designed to
tap the United States treasury in be-
half of other questionable interests.
Plans to donate land and other endow-
ments to divers and sundry private
and UNCONVENTIONAL institutions are
embodied in a number of the meas
ures.
Thousands of additional measures
will be introduced within the next few
days. AS soon as it is possible for
the clerical force to classify the vast
accumulation and render them Access
sible, those of real Importance will be
outlined and their legislative treat
ment narrated in these dispatches.
Selective immigration Act of 1924
Numerous bills in relation to i'm
migration have been introduced. Some
Ct them would repeal the existing i'm
migration law and throw open the
foodgates to admit all corners. Others
would remove the literacy test that
has been steadfastly opposed by the
Roman hierarchy during the last 80
years. But the one of outstanding in
terest is that introduced by Chairman
Albert Johnson of the house immigra-
ton committee. It is known as the
"Selective immigration Act of 1924"
By its terms it is to take effect July
LIST, 1924.
The chief merit of this measure is
that it makes some provisions for
sitting immigration at its source and
it reduces the quota admissible from
each foreign country from three to
two per cent of the nationals of such
country already here. What is more
important still is that it makes the
census Of 1890 instead of 1910 the
basis on which to calculate the quotas.
It thus avoids making the vast unde-
sirable hordes of aliens that came
from debased lands in Southern and
Eastern Europe between the dates
mentioned an element in the basis of
calculation.
