WILL CATHOLICS
DISCRIMINATE?

From New York comes the disquiet-
ing story that Catholics are arranging
to separate colored and white students
in parochial schools 1t is hard to
believe that anything smacking of
color discrimination would be attempt
ed in the liberal and big-hearted city
Of New York; and most certainly no
body Is prepared to believe that such
Jim Crowism would be encouraged or
condoned by authorities of the great
Catholic Church The story is more
than a little disturbing because it comes
at a time when there is an increasing
number of colored converts entering
the Catholic Church and when there
is broadening disposition among non
Catholics and even the non-relgious
to credit the Catholic Church with
advanced leadership in earnest and
effective advocacy of liberty and equal
ity.
In view of this enthusiastic admira-
ton for Catholic faith and action, it
IS sincerely to be hoped that there Is
no truth TO the rumors indicating a
reversal of Catholic policy and de-
ference to intolerance and unChristian
disseryice.

more than sufficient for all.
After luncheon many of the guests
started out to hunt for gallon jug of
rare vintage wine. Other enjoyments
were swimming and boat riding. How
ever the best part of the fun was when
hosts of visitors hilariously laughed
at the actions of Mrs. Rosabelle Keels,
who acted as if she was extremely
frightened when Mr.. Samuel Smith of
Boston, encouraged by others, attempt
ed on several occasions to overturn
the boat in which they were riding.

Blake and their daughter, Doris and
Mrs. Semunda, all of Boston; also Mr.

After the party was over, pretty

THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN the
New Deal and the combination of re-
dictionary Republicans and Democrats
is daily disclosing how meaningless are
party lines when the financial interest
OF our ruling class is involved. The

which played such an important part
IN bringing about the Civil War is
being steadily liduidated by the march
of monopoly and mechanization. That

UNEQUAL EQUAL" EDUCATlON',
Every educational meeting, conven-

its slogan, Equal Education For All.
In many instances the ideals and reali-

arising from the struggles in Missouri

states are a stencil in the nostrlIs OF

Patrolman John J. Young of Divi-

Tuesday, Aug. Is, in the Third SEES
sion of the Roxhury Court before
Judge James j. DELAY when Atty. John
D. Ford, brother of L. S. Judge Fran
els J. w. Ford, former L. S. ATTORNEY

court by strong argument that his eli
ent, the defendant, Gordon B. Sander
son of % School ST., Newton, was not
guilty Of accosting a colored Young
woman on Washington St. near Thorn
dixie ST., Roxbury on Aug. 3, 1899, at
2 am.
It appears that one Jennie Cotter of
40 Hammond St., Roxbuly, was accost-
ed by the defendant who is white from
his automobile. This man did not see
the ubiquitous "Tiger" Young of
Boston College Football fame as well
as acadamic proves, across the street
in doorway at the time. The result
is that Mr.. Sanderson found himself in
trouble.
Unfortunately, police officers are not
assisted by witnesses at times, so the
Young woman, who gave a wrong adj
dress and failed to show up left Mr..
Young alone to testify. He therefore
lost his case for lack of confederation

DIR. Henry Turner Remembered
TrOtter


Occasionally one helps another and
the person helped forgets rather
quickly. However, this is not so in
the case of the two recent colored
graduates of B. U. Medical School.
Both Doctor Kenneth McLane and
Doctor Sylvester Carter are forever
nraising Doctor Henry Turner of
Beacon St., Boston, our only colored
physician who is on the staff of the
Boston City Hospital, for his help in
getting them in B. U. Medical School
four years ago. when things looked
bad or them.
DR.. Turner, a Technology graduate
as well as a B. U. Medical School
graduate went to the trustees of the
B. y. Medical School and declared that
if these young men were not admitted
he would see to it that many substan-
tial donors to the school would be ad-
vised of the attitude of the school. He
made such strong protest that the
school yielded and the spirit of Mon
roe Trotter prevailed again.
If | Didn't Care More Than a Song
Recently two young men began dis
cussing the latest song hit, 'If Didn't
Care" One Young fellow said if he
did not care for his lady love he could
never stand for his sweetheart chew
ing gum in the streets regardless of
his wishes. The other said, Gail right,
All right" This reply appears to be
the name of another new song hit.
The first young man insisted if he
did not care he would not meet his
sweetheart each morning and walk to
work with her, and then go to his own
work. The second fellow replied: "All
right, All right" No argument there
to be sure.
However just among us, many of
these new songs seem to have lessons
and real sentiment concealed in their
casual words. SO we began to whistle
Failing in Love Again" and went
merrily on our way, because both
Young gentlemen had something in
their simple summer morning discus
sion, which made us glad we are alive
and still young.
