AMERICAN. 5 Tb l'apar; tad the I'ublir N hw.l. Continued from pate 1. that an attempt Wmd ruaJe to Cuane the oruV r of tnii gs hiltierto x lslicg in tuat republic, by piM'shic a yrn; ram lo luih areenuociaUjil "fr e dora of fd'jcatlon td of worship." H b of these principle are to only contrary to tte law of GJ htid tfj church l'in lo com-aJiciion thi coucord ant established ttttei l bo to y e and tb republic. Although we :o r.ot douV.t that jour illustrious and rt vvr,., t lordship will do hll in jour p.twi-r against n axiins s i des'.rncii.v to ;ho church ar:d to society, siiil j !. in it by no isi'aa aup-.-i tl lots u tl! mi.i t' your well known zed 10 mji- t a; iho clcrjry, and above all, tho curat-.'-' il. theirdu'y." In a l.ttic n.sjk entitled "Judges of tho F;ih,"e.H- J bv U v. Thomas Jenkins, publbht-J by John Murphy & Co., Baltimore, addressed lo Catho'.ic parents, and endorsed by Caid inals Newman and Gintvns, nay bo found ''the conciliar or oiultf ruling of no less than thrre hundred and eight of the hiph and highest church digut taries." Every one of these ruling or utterances is a malignant and cruel at tack on the free school system of tho n v tion. Let me quote a few of these as tounding declarations. We are often asked to pjint to any 'otlluial" uter ance of any of the "teaetiers" of the church that can be construed as hostile to our schools Tnese pages furnish them. The author reverently Bubmits t'atm to the judgment of tho "judges of the Faith," and these jddges have endorsed every line in thisbxik. These declarations are all of tlieni taken from utterances of the last fifty years. They give the most authentic receut utter ances on this great subject. Oa page 3 the author says: "It is not designed by a Catholic that he should aid in any secret conspiracy for tho bootless enter prise of suddenly overthrowing apubl c legal system, unfawful though that sys tem be. We bring home to the con sciences of Catholics, that it is their duty to continue deserting all mere sec ular schools, and building schools of their own until public opinion Itself un dermine what contains the source of its owe downfall and we be relieved of un just taxes." "Catholics will continue building schools oa their own grounds until, like the many deserted sectarian templet which are legally acq aired by lnpourlng children of the church, the future state school buildings, left empty by Catholics deserting them, and non Catholics becoming practically disgust ed with the uurepublican and unchrist ian system, shall also be fawfully ac quired and occupied by denominational schools." (p. 6) "The doctrine that god less schools are good enough for Cattio lie children is explicitly condemned by the authority of the church," (Bishop Rosecrans, p. 85.) Bishop Toebbe of Covington says: (p. 87) "The public schools are infidel and godless and must therefore be avoided." Bishop St. Pal ais of Vincennes declars that Catholics object to public schools "because of the infidel source from which they origina ted," ''because the teaching of religion is excluded from them,'1 and "because the promiscuous uss ambling of both sexes of a certain age is injurious to the children." (p. 8'J ) Bishop Glimour of Cleveland says, (p. 85) 'On the school question taere can be and there must be no division. If we are Catho lic? we must leave behind us a Catholic youth. We must not sleep while our enmies are working. Nor must we for get that the public schools are organ ized and managed for and In the Inter ests of Protestantism," and he com mands the confessors and priests of his diocese to "refuse the sacraments to such persons as dispise the laws of the church and disobey the command of both priest and bishop" by sending their children to the public schools. And to refuse the sacraments to a Catholic means to put outside the church, and to be outside of the church means for him to lose in an eternal hell his Immortal soul! Pope Pius IX in his famous encyclical of 1804 declares: "The exclusive control of public schools in which the youth of any christian nation are educated may not and must not ap pertain to the civil power; nor belong to it to such a degree that no other au thority whatsoever shall be recognized as having any right to interfere in the diclpllne of the schools, the arrange ment of the studies, the conferring of degrees, and in the choice or approba tion of the teachers, Catholics can not approve of a system of educating youth which unconnected with the Catholic faith and the power of the church and which regards the know ledge of merely natural things, and only or at least primarily the ends of social life." (p. 75) The whole gist of the re markable book for this age, Is to be found In these words of the author: "The line is drawn and the pastors cry to their flocks: Are you Catholics? , Come ovijr to ma and send your children to Catholic schools. Are you not Cath- i olics? Then go away about your busi ness; we want no such blank, scabby sheep to infest the flocks of Christ." (p. 101.) The present pope, Leo XIII, in an encyclical dated Jan. 10, 1890, and pub lished in the daily Catholic papers of the country says: "It is a strict obli gation for Catholics to be careful and neglect no effort to maintain exclusive authority over the education of their children. They ought moreover to lo cu'.a'je in the latter the principle of christian morality and re -lutely oppose their children fr-. qucnting chool where they are expje d to lutIrg the fatal hj:b m vt imp.ety." Kvcn Archbishop Ireland, who U put to the front by a gn at maty well mean lug hut tlmi)'e minded peop'e as the most li'terl and tLoneihly American of all the prelates in ibis church, con fess that he ha a "grievance' against our publ-c who ils, In his aJ dr before the National Teachers A nieiaiion a few years ne;o, in St. Pail, Minn., he said: 'Tan is ray grievance ti.e state school Is no:i religion There Cin tie no positive rvligi-ius teach ing where 'h i pribt'ipl of noi s-.ctarian rul 0. So i.e eoinprotuUe liecomes neve airy. I would r.neate rcvuUr state schools with, religion. I would, us they do in England, piy for the secular in struction given in decooiiaatioual schools according to results. Well meaning men have proposed that there be taught in connection with the schools a common christUnfty. This will not do. Catholics In fidelity to their princlplcseanno'. accept a common Christianity. Catholics demand the christian state school " But, by "chris tian," the archbishop docs not mean "a common Christianity." "Catholics In fidelity to their principles cannot ac cept that." "The christian ttate school"' which "Catholics demand'' Is the Roman Catholic parochial school supported by the state. Cardinal Gibbons, In his work on ' Our Chr stian Heritage," sp-akj de spairingly of "our mutilated and defec tive system of public school education. The papal ablegate, an Italian named Sutolli, who has been s.'iit t ) this coun try tells the American people when "it is lawful and when unlawful to send tbel children to tho public schools," says the Catholic church does not condemn our school system, but does "shrink from those features of public schools which are opposed to the truths of Christianity (Catholic) and to marality (Catholic)." These quotations have been made at some length so that there might be no mistake as to the attitude of the im mense organization towards the na tion's school system. "The powers that be" are unqualifiedly and unalterably opposed to our public schools. They do not like the system. They would hall the day when it might be overthrown. Their objections are two-fold. They say that it is unjust to make them pay double taxation for the support of their own schools and the state schools. They will not give vr 'heir own and they do not believe In the state schools and they practically have to pay for the support of both. Archbishop Ireland exclaims: "No taxation without representation in the benefits thereof." Hence the demands of the Catholic authorities for a share of the school fund of the state. The state supports what they call "Protes tant schools," Bnd there Is no just reason why Catholic schools should not be sup ported by the state. Editor Thorne in his Review article, already quoted from, argues thus: "Catholics pay their share of the state and national tuxes in all parts of the cduntry; and common sense and com mon law ought to see and admit that they have a right pro rata to about one-sixth of the entire school fund of the United States." "Catholics have boen and are fleeced and robbed by the deliberate, cool-blooded, calculating, practical, Protestant atheism and injus tice of a majority of the American peo ple." Cardinal Gibbons, Satolli and Pope Leo XIII have all within a comparative recent date pleaded for the maintain ance of the Catholic schools by the aid of the state. Monsignor Capel, who came to this country a few years ago on a special mission from the pope to Investigate our public school system, was more bild than the rest of the advocates for the christian (Catholic) state school, and said, in an interview widely pub lished and commented upon and never dented: "The time is not far distant when the Roman Catholics, attheorder of the pope, will refuse to pay their school-tax and will send bullets to the breasts of the governmentagents rather than pay it. The order can come any day from Rome. It will come as quickly as the click of a trigger, and it will be obeyed, of course, as coming from God Almighty Himself." Mgr. Capel denied this over his own signature in our issue of Jan. 27, 1803. Editor, The reasoning of the Roman church is utterly fallacious and if ever allowed to have full sway in this country, it would mean almost instantaneous bank ruptcy and the paralysis of all our in stitutions and the very lite of the gov ernment itself. Then every cranky in dividual or corporation could claim ex emption froa taxation on the ground that he had to pay to ride his particular hobby, and it was not fair to make him pay for a governmental hobby in which he took no stock. The doctrine of the unioa of church and state is utterly repugnant to the American people. They do not believe that one dollar of governmental funds should ever be paid for the support of any sectarian or denominational or re ligious organization whatever. While the Roman church has been dealing-its heaviest blows against one of our cherished national Institution with it right hanj, with iU left It has been grwdily grasping every dollar po-ib.e from th stito treasury and cheekily a-kingfor more. The conscience of tne nation, long dormant, is at last awaking and will henceforth resist with all its jomer this tin-American demand and stop further etjcroacl im cU on our publ ic treaeurle. The spirit of IM2 Is abroad In tho land 'ain. and the slogan of the coming victorious political parties must bo: "Not oue penny f ir 'orek'n tribute, but million' for fie defense of our national institutions." A second reason for this hostility Is made to apjM-ar in the charge t'nat the American public sc'ionls are "godlcca.' Ho no has "played" the American petplo very alriotly on this matter. The day was not long ago when It was permissible to ricogniz.i Gjd and the Bible in opening acts of worship In our schools Then Rome sent up a mighty hol that the Bihlo was a iwetarlan book and that our schools were sectar ian institutions, and of course that wojld never do In a country where we allowed so large a measure of freedom as in this land. So we took out the Bible in order to quiet the tender con sciences of the liomlsh priests and bishops; and quick as a Hash they turned on the American people and charged them with maintaining "god less" schools, and it would never do to send their dear children to such mon sters of iniquity as tho public schools It was a very sharp trick and they de serve atl credit for having so easily and successfully duped the gullible Ameri can people. Ever since then they have been ringing the charges on our "god less schools." They are tailed "hot beds of vice and immorality," and "pits of destruction." Our teachers are branded with Infamy, and our children are declared to be of the devil and on their way to hell as fast as these "god less schools" can send them. All these infamous and utterly groundless charges are made and re made in spite of the well proven facts taken from governmental statistics, that in countries where the parochial school has had undisputed sway, GO per cent, of the population cannot read and write, fifteen times as great a propor tion of illiterates as in lands that are the home of tae free school system; and notwithstanding the additional fact drawn from the United States census and other official reports that, as Dexter A. Hawkins says: "A child trained In the parochial school of the Riman Catholic church is more than three times as likely to get into jail as the child trained in the free public schools." Aa eminent layman of the Catholic church (Dr. O. Brownson) said a few years ago: "We furnish more than our share of the rowdies, the drunkards and the vicious population of our large cit.es," and Archbishop Ireland con fesses, "Catholics nearly monopolize the liquor traffic," "Catholics loom up before the criminal courts of the land, in undue majorities." Yet these vicious and criminal classes are largely the product of the parochial school. Indeed so fearful a curse ha6 the parochial school proven Itself to be that the state authorities of even the Catholic coun tries of tho world have been forced to repudiate it as a matter c-f self protec tion. Americans Well agree with Father McGlynn when he said: "This talk about the Immorality of the public schools is a brutal, beastly calumny on the American people. If these schools are schools of wantonness, you are an utterly debauched and degraded people; you are past salvation." The Infamous record of this church in the m atter of eil ucation is search! ngl v declared in these burning words of Vic tor Hugo: "Ah, we know you. Wo know the clerical party; it is an old party. This Is that hich has found for the truth those two marvelous supporters, ignorance and error. Eery step which the in jelligence of Europe has taken has been in spite of it. Its history is written in the history of human pro gress; but it is written on the back of the leaf. It is opposed to it all. This is that which caused Prinelli to be scourged for having Bald the stars would not fall. Thij it is which put Cain panella seven times to the torture for having said that the number of world was infinite, and for having caught a glimpse at the sec-et of creation. This It is which persecuted Harvey for hav ing proved the circulation of the blood. In the name of Jesus, it shut up Galileo. In the name of St. Paul, it imprisoned Christopher Columbus. To discover a law of the heavens was an Impiety, tc find a world was a heresy. This it is which anathematized Pascal In the name of religion: Montaigne in the name of morality; Mollere in the name of both morality and religion. For a long time, already, vou have tried to put a gag upon the human intellect; you wish to be the master o education and there is not a poet, not an author, not a thinker, not a philosopher that you accept. All that lias been written, found, dreamed, deduced, insoired. im agined, invented by genius, the treasure of civilization, the venerahle inherit ance of generations, the common patri mony of knowledge, you reject. Vou claim the liberty of teaching. Stop! Be sincere! Let us understand the liberty you claim. It is tho liberty of not teaching. Vou wish us to give you the people to instruct. Very we!1, let ut e your pupils. I.t us see thoe you have produced. What have you done for lull? What have you done for Siin? Thanks to you Italy, whose na ne no man who thinks can longer pronounce without Inexprt ssible filial emr l4m Italy, mother of genius and of D.ttions, which has spread aHroad over a'l the universe, all the marvels of poetry and the arts, Italy, which has taught mankind tore-ad, knows not how to read. Spain, magnificently endowed Spain, whk'h rotvived from the Rom .u heir first civilization; from the Arabs her sec nd civiliz ition; from Provldi -n In spile of you, a world Anieriok. Spain, thanks to you, a yoke of stuMir, which is a joke of degradation and de cay; Spain litis lost tho secret power which It had from tho Romans; this genius of art which it had fro in tho Arabs; this world which It had from God; and In exchange for all you have made It lose, It has received from you the inquisition; the inquisition which has burned on the funeral pyre millions of men; tho inquisition which dlsln terreJI the bones of the dead to burn them as heretics; the Inquisition which declared the children of heretics infam ous and incapable of any public honors except such as had denouueed their fathers. Those are your master pieces. This fire which wo call It ly you have extinguished. This Colossus that we call Spain you have undermined the one In ashes, the other in ruins. This Is what you have done for two great nations. ' Vet in spite of this terrible indict ment, every word o' which is true to history, Cardiual Gibbons had tho sub lime audacity to stand up in the world's parliament of roligions In Chicago and affirm: "We live and move and have our being in a civilization that is the offspring of the Roman Catholic relig ion," and the Italian Satolll lauds tho "Catholic educator" as the "surest guide of the republic In civil progress." From such a guide may tho good Lord deliver us! Shall we deliver our school system the pride und glory of the na tion, the wonder and envy of the world over Into the hands of a power with such an awful rejord? We my to Rome: "Hands oil the American public schools. Cease your villainous assaults on our teachers and our children. Out from our school boards and from all official connection with these schools. Out from our public treasuries you are pil fering in the interests of your own in stitutions. We believe in the free school. We believe in the separation of church ' ad stats. We are resolved that not one dollar of public money shall be appropriated for the support of any sectarian school. Our Institutions, our liberties and our flag must bo main tained." In youth and In vigorous man hood, a free, loyal people shall, with united purpose, protect this national institution, and in old age, even, the voice of America shall be heard crying out to all the enemies of the free schools of the nation as they seek to lay the axe to the root of the tree: "Woodman, spare that tree, In youth It sheltered me, And I'll protact It now."
