Mpcaking of the danger tbreatenlng
thi government:
"The abuacNof the ballot box and the

"Immigration, be saui, must be re-

After speaking about the present
form of naturalizing n foreigner, Mr,
I tint h stated that many who bad
adopted thi country's color had
proved better citizen than ome born
in thi country, He si id that an
American citizen wa a sovereign
greater and mightier than any pope or

In all thi we concur, but when Mr,
Hush afd that he "wa a (IComan)

refuse to obey her commit a mortal sin

lie Intrisluced In the tute conforeiu'u
held In tht city last week a minority
roiort, In tho shapo of a resolution, on
the question of christian education, In
the following language:
KcHolvod, That this committee on
Christian education place on record Its
hearty endorsement of the public school
system ol the I nlieil Mutes a one of
our greatest safeguard from the dan
gers incident to u largo and rupldly In
creasing foreign population, arid that a
opy of thi resolution lie presented to
the public school hoard of thi city.
Tbo resolution canned considerable
discussion. Homo of the member of
thu conference, it 1 said, advocated the
abolishment of all parochial tchools,
but after all the talking wu done and
the vote wa taken on tbo two reports,
majority of the mcmlrerH decided
against Mr. Maukay' resolution. The
action of the conference did not meet
with Hev, Mackay'a approval, and be
publicly declared the ground which be
occupied in tho controversy Hunday
evening in a sermon in All Saints
church. The daily papers report him
a saying in part, that
"We should go Into politic not only
for tho welfare of the state and of our
selves a Individual, but for the wel
fare of the church," We muit, as a
church, exorcise vigilance In protect
ing our national institutions from the
encroach menu of any power, ecclesias
tical or otherwise. Our public schools,
a tho greatest safeguard from the dan
ger arising from our rapidly increas
ing foreign population, should receive
the hearty auprort of every man who
ha the Intort'st of hi country at heart.
They may not Ire perfect, but until
something: tetter 1 devised no church
man can afford to condemn them, or
strive by any mean to weaken or de
stroy their usefulness. We must op
pose every attempt to divert our public
school fund for sectarian education. To
do so would Iks to overturn the funda
mental principle of our government.
"We are founded a a nation uron re
sistance to unjust tavatlon, and it would
be unjust taxation to hand over the
money of the state to any religious brrdy
for the purpose of educating any por
tlon of the children of the state in any
particular tenet of religion. That we
are not free from thi danger 1 evident
to the careful student of current his
tory. Already large sum of money are
being taken from tho public treasurle
of various state for the support of
purely sectarian institution.
"I bave no prejudice against the
church of Home save that it is an ex
otic, owing allegiance to a foreign po
tentate. I believe that the great bulk
of it people are patriotic Americans,
and 1 have no fear of that church in a
fair, open contest for the supremacy in
thi land, but hen greed for public
money ha grown so great and the am
bition of her hierarchy so overreaching
that Nome step must 1m taken to chock
the one and defeat tho other. The pro
posed sixteenth amendment to the con
stltution ba Koine, a necessity, Jt
read a follow;
"No state shall pas any law respect
ing an establishment of religion or of
prohibiting the tree exercise thereof,
or use It proircrty or credit or any
money raised by taxation, or authorize
either to be used, for the purpose of
founding, maintaining, or aiding by
appropriation, payment ror service,
expenses, or otherwise any church, re
llglou denomination, or roiigiou so
ciety or undertaking which 1 wholly
or in part under sectarian or ecclesias
tical control.
"With laudable pride can we point to
the fact that our own church, through
her bishops, has addressed a com muni
cation to both house of congress asking
for tho passage of thllxteenth amend'
ment and relinquishing all government
aid in carrying on our work among the
Indian.
"T.e committee of bishop declare
that ill manifest that there wide

United Btat government to religious
societies firf tho ostensible purpose of

The scurrilous attack made bythe
Ike in iU columns on tho Thurston
HI Ill's was entirely uncalled for and not
warranted by thu facts, and undoubtedly
wa a piece of dirty, unscrupulous spite
work on tho part of that paar. It Is a
well known fact that the lire uses It
columns for the purpose of villlfylng
anybody or anything that Is American,
coriscqucntlv the Thurston Hillos,
which Is an American organization,
comes under the nan ol that llome-

city aro led to form a wrong Impression
concerning thepersorwrei of it members.
Tho young men who comprise this
military company known as the Thurs

sheep the Ike would have Its read
ers to believe, but on tho other hand
are young men of high moral character.
Tho fulsome adulation bestowed by
the Ike on that anti-American organi

Hibernians, clearly shows where that

Instead of being erwentiilly a Protest

Americans are proud of, it would bave
Ignored the circumstance out at the

Kano is an Irish Catholic. Wolfe is
under arrest and Kane may die. About
a month ago Dunford and Nix, A. P, A.
agents, who were trying to organize a
lodge or the society at raiatka, were
set upon and nearly Iron ten to death for
saying that all Catholic women and
priesu were immoral. 'I ho shooting
today wa the outgrowth of the affair.
Foi ling run high between the faction,
and it 1 feared that there will Ire
further trouble.
If that 'dispatch is true, but we doubt
it very much, and Dunford and Nix did
charge that "a Uutlwlde women and
prU'Mn were irnnurral," they got no more
than they deserved. Our reader wiil
not believe for a moment that all t 'ath-
olle women or oil Catholic priest are
Immoral, A large majority of them
may be, but wo believe there are many
pure men and women In tho Homan
church, and it is wrong to brand them
as unchaste.
Governor Flower ha vetrrod Assem
blyman Lawson' bill to prevent the
display of foreign flags or emblem on
public buildings. In hi veto memor
andum the governor says: "It is a
questionable wri t of patriotism which
seek the enactment of such bill a
this. Hucb legislation as that proposed
find lUinsplra.ion only in Intolerance,
in religion or racial prejudice, In tho
false patriotism of narrow minds. Jt Is
un-American In spirit, and is opposed
to tho liberal traditions and progres
sive alms of the American pcoplo."

The people should bear Governor
Flower ia mind, and every American
should remember him In bis political
career, a this is evidently done with
tho Intention of catching the Irish
Homan vote.
Thk American Protective Associa
tion must now brlngevcy point to boar
upon the coming election and work
with harmony, This organization
must not allow the fact that it ha an
Immense membership to detract from a
compact campaign, A few well organ
Jzed, working In perfect unison under
one Command, can accomplish much
more than ten times the number, who
do not work systematically, Th Is or
ganization should OH every office with
American, and it can do so If close
work 1 given. It will Ire Impossible
fjltber of the old political parties to
elect their men to office unless endorsed
by this association.

WRITING from Cuba to a friend In
this country Mr. E. P. Jones gives ex
pression to this belief:
"I can safely say that tho people of
this island have been taught from
childhood to lie, cheat and steal. The
laws of tbo government are so made
that the people are encouraged to do
this. The Homan Catholic church also
fosters this Immorality. The church of
Home has had complete religious sway
In Cuba for 400 years, and as a result
the mass of the people are ignorant,
superstitious and very immoral, hav
ing no regard for the Kabbath."
