Are not the lives of these people
just as precious as the lives of those
who perished on the Lusltania? If
they are, then let the government be
just as drastic with the officials of the
steamship as with the German gov
ernment. But it is doubtful whether this will
be done. Perhaps the officials of the
steamship company will go scot-free,
while the captain of the vessel will be
sent to the penitentiary for life, just
as was the captain of the steamer
Slocum, which was- destroyed by fire
on the East river in New York some
years ago.
The guilty are always pennitted.to
escape, while the innocent sqffer for
the negligence of others. Such is
the law of the land. Chas. Schwoer

IS "C. H." MISQUOTING? It is
certainly surprising to see such mis
quotations in The Day Book as ap
pear over the initials of G. H. Almost
everything quoted from the letters of
Pope Leo Xffl. is so distorted as to
change the meaning entirely I have
not the time to spare or you the
space to "waste to go into many of
them, but I will give one shining ex
ample. In Golden Text Nq. 12, C. H.
mtnfjvs from Dace 26 as follows:
"They cease not from asserting that
ail men are by nature equal," thereby
inferring that the author, Leo XIIL,,
opposes democracy. The whole text
reads as follows: "They (speaking of
Socialists, Communists and Nihilists)
in good sooth cease not from assert
ing as we have already mentioned
that all men are by nature equal.and
hence they contend that neither
honor or respect is owed to public
authority, nor any obedience to the
laws, saving perhaps to those which
have been sanctioned according to
their.own good pleasure."
ThA nhrase "in good sooth" is
,-Htoi hu r ft.
meaning is changed. According to
and thus the entire
Webster "sooth" means, "tnrt,".an
the author in this paragraph admits'
the truth- that all men are by nature
equal, but denies that this equality
excuses them from obedience to law
ful authority.
C. H. is guilty of literary abortion
in every text taken from the writings
of Pope Leo XHL By following his
method I can take the bible or the
constitution of the United States and
prove anything to be the opposite of
what it really is. A. B. H
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL& Sup
porters of the public school system
are all anxiously waiting the return
of Mayor Thompson from California.
Staunch supporters of him and the
schools are all predicting a great fu
ture for him and the appointments
he is soon to make. Just one word,
and that is, we all hope he will put
none on the board only those who
have received their .education in the
public schools. If Ella Flagg Young
has ruled that it is wrong to belong
to a secret society among the schol
ars then why does she tolerate it in
the federation? Chicago does not
need one of her stripe as she has
proved herself a traitor by allowing
things to get in the condition they
have. Put none but true blue Ameri
ra.Tm nn the school board. Mr. Thomp
son, and I predict
president of the

GOLDEN TEXT NO. 14. Leo
XHL, Letters, page 102: "Tear away
the mask from Freemasonry and let
it be seen as it really is, as the
whole principle and object of the sect
lies in wh vicious and criminal."
GOLDEN TEXT NO, 15. The
New World, Chicago, March 26, 1910;
"The head of the Masonic craft is a:
monster, who, if known, could not
save hiniself from the hangman. No
great effort of the imagination is re-5
quired to picture the vile, hideous
creature that sits on the throne of
