Priest, Pastor and
Rabbi Unite to Get
Religion in Schools

NEW YORK CITY, Feb. with
the knowledge that religion is really
the opium of the people and will keep
them in subsection to authority" and
loyal to a god of vengeance, Cardinal
Hayes appeared at a meeting In the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, together with
a protestant minister and a Jewish
rabbi to foster a movement to give at
least one hours religious instruction
to public school children everyday.
There were about $500 public
school teachers, nearly all catholics,
present. The occasion was the an
nual meeting of an association of
catholic school teachers.
The speakers declared that because
of the crime wave there is q general
demand for the teaching to public
school children that they have soul
and that they are responsible for their
acts.
The Rev. Walter M. Hewlett, sec
rotary for religious education of the
N. Y federation Of churches made the
declaration that there is sane lead
ership in the board of education and
they want this systematic weekday
religious instruction for the children
as much as we do"
The reverend doctor said that only
100000 children in New York are get
ting religious training and that $780,
900 are without it.
Cardinal Hayes said at one time:
Instead Of being antagonistic to
public education, which is the right
and duty of the state, the catholic
church is in sympathy with it,"
Then in the same breath he said:
"All we ask is that the state may
see clearly that public education is
bound to fail unless it brings into the
soul of the child proper idea of his
relation and obligation to religion"
The Machiavellian cardinal will be
sympathetic towards the state IL il
agrees with his views Of religion as
the opium of the people.
Rabbi David De Sola Pool for the
Jews said that Christian and Jew are
alike in this sacred duty" as he
termed it.

summarlIy Fired
When the men refused to return to
work unless they were informed about
the wages they would receive, they
were summarily fired and the time
keeper was instrcted to pay them
what was coming to them under the
new system. When they received
their envelopes they realized why the
bosses were so averse to giving them
any information. Instead of the S6.21,
which was the average pay in the
enamel department for a nine hour
days work, they received on an aver
age Of $500 for TWO DAYS WORK.
While the timekeeper was getting
ready to pay the men off, the motorcy-

Going to Prison

Col Charles r. Forbes, former head

Thompson, Chicago and st. Louis mil
honaire contractor, who were found
guilty Of conspiracy to defraud the
government by federal jury last
Friday today were each sentenced to
two years Imprisonment in Leaven-
worth penitentiary. This is the maxi
mum sentence under the law.
Sentence Too Limited.
In pronouncing sentence, the court
denied a motion for new trial, a
plea for mitigation, and declared that
it believed the maximum sentence
"too limited"
Attorneys for the defense immedi-
stsly declared the case would be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States.
A thirty days stay of sentence will
be granted, the court stated. to file an
appeal, and the usual 80 days to per
feet bill of exceptions.
The Case VIII Drag.
The appeal will be based on the al
legged illegal seizure by the govern
ment and introduction into the evil
dence of private papers belonging to
the defendants.
Plea for mitigation was based on the
poor physical condition Of Forbes and
Thompson. After sentence had been
passed, their friends in court declared
that Imprisonment probably would
prove fatal to both men.

They look upon spirit to be much

they call GOODNESS. They are but half
