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. Bull they beat it while the going was good.
.After some adventures they landed in the north! of Ireland.
Judging from the histories of those stirring days Gra"

to say the least, very thorough, when talking religion with
or seeking the scalp of a Covenanter.
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?

WASHINGTON
Liberty unsheated his sword,
necessity stained, victory re
turned it If he had paused
here history might have doubt
ed wlint station to assign him
whether at the head of her
citizens or her soldiers, her
heroes or her patriots. 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?
How shall we rank thee upon
Glory's p?.Ee
Thou more than soldier and
just 1?3 than Ease?
All thou hast been reflects
less fame on thee,
Far less than all thou has
forborne to be.

RURAL INTEREST IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
If no other got id should ever come out of the movement
started last h'riday to adopt the county unit system in the
management of our elementary schools the fact that the
circuit court room was comfortably filled with interested j
citizens from all parts of the county who traveled miles to 1
hear the new plan discussed shows that the people of the j
country districts are keenly interested in the education ot
their children and the discussion and questions that fol
lowed Mr. Smith's and Mrs. Shurte's explanations of the
working of the proposed innovation showed very plainly
that the men who have been wrestling with rural school
problems for many years have an understanding of school
matters greater than some of the residents of the towns
have suspected.
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.

It is fitting that we pause to
day in our tasks and reflect
upon the genius, the leader
ship qualities, the persever
ance of him who fought and
won for this great nation
its priceless Liberty
George Washington.
Confident that his was a just
cause, though handicapped
in many ways, his keen de
termination gained us our
most cherished asset Free
dom. And as we honor his
memory today let us give
thanks for the Prosperity
and Exalted Position this
nation enjoys the direct re
sult of Washington's greatness.
