YES, WE ARE NOT A CATHOLIC "Was the editor of the Herald raised a Catholic?" is a miestiou the writer has heard of being asked several times within the past few months and while such personal mat ters are not usually considered of pulblia interest it may be :is well to settle the question now as at any other time. No, gentle reader, the editor was neither born nor reared Tior educated nor baptized as a Catholic. In fact his youth ful environment was such that he was perhaps 12 or 15 years old before he ever saw a real, live Catholic, Irish or (Otherwise. And, furthermore, his lineage runs back through a good many generations of the Pattison, Humph rey, Rogers, Craig and Stewart klans, all dyed-in't he-wool Scotch Covenanters who might still have been enjoying their oatmeal porridge "Mid the Banks and Braes o' Bon nie Doon," had not one John Graham, also known in his" of the office 1 seek, and 1 shall great tory as Lord Claverhouse, a British soldier and, perchance, 'iy appreciate your support . in the also a Catholic, some too years ago waged war on the can-, primary; and for ail past favors, 1 Jiy Scots and told them to give up their religion or their . 1 an y Q Jives. Now, no true Scotchman was ever known to give j anything away without something like a cost plus recom pense and rather than contribute either religion or warm Mood to Mr. J.

Perhaps one reason the editor has been suspicioned of (Paid Advertisement) being a Catholic is that he does not subscribe to the doc trines of the Ku Klux Klan. The best defense against that charge is to blame it on his Scotch bljood. Those old Scotch forbears of his were battered about for quite some time be cause of their religious belief and it took them quite a spell to quit resenting it. But as time passed and the resent ment died oujt they began to have a genuine dislike for re" Jigious or political persecution rio matter who was the per iecutpr or who the persecuted and after coming to Amer" ica and helping frame the" Declaration of Independence they finally became so broad-minded and so nearly "100 per cent American" that they came to believe that being a good American did not hinge on color, creed or political belief, but that the elements of good citizenship must ger minate in the heart and soul of the individual. That brand of so-called religion or patriotism which would deny to any man or woman equal rights of citizen" ship because of his or her political or religious belief is spurious and will not bear the light of day. Is this the reason for the mask? Cigarettes Mrs. P. A.

But the last glorious act crowns Ills career, and banishes all hesitation. Who, like Washington, after having emancipated a hemis phere, resigned its crown, and preferred the retirement of domestic life to the adoration of a land he might almost be said to have created?

That everyone present is heartily in favor of any change in the operation of their schools that will insure better ad" vantages for the children was apparent, yet there was no j stampede towards endorsing the plan off hand without ! taking time to give it the carelul consideration its unpor Jance deserves. That the new plan may, for a time, increase the taxes in sonic districts while lowering them in others was indicat ed, but there was heard no remonstrance from any quarter on that score. Increased efficiency and better kept school houses and equipment was what seemed to appeal most to the country people and if the proponents of the measure can show that these results will follow it may he pretty safely predicted that the measure will be approved by the voters if placed on the ballot in May.
