the mask from this movement and showwhat it really is. He spoke for him-self, but a movement for fear there wrillbe a demand for.public money for pa-rochial schools. The Catholics spend anenormous sum for their paroehialschools, but they never have asked andnever will ask for one cent for them.If this amendment is passed there canbe no exemption of churches and univer-sities from taxation. Harvard, wvith its$26,000,000 must be taxed on all of it.The Old South Church, weith its im-mense property, must be taxed on all ofit. It would be impossible, under theamendment, for a State farm to sellpotatoes to Danrers Insane Hospital.The hospitals in private hands oughtnot to be cut off from all possibility ofState aid. This is a time of war andwe ought not to do it. This amendment

is a gratuitous insult to the Catholicpeople, and grolws out of a, sentimentNihiel ouallt to have died out long ago.

Wlilliam H. Sullivan of Boston repliedto 'Ir. C'umiinas and said that his pref-erence for the amendment of the Com-mittee on Form and Phraseology did nothielp the matter at all. As to aid forthe textile schools, objection has beenmade that these schools are for the pri-vate benefit of capitalists who spendtheir money in tl..e South. He deniedthat there was anv contract wsith theInstitute of Technologys and the W\~or-cester Polvtechnic Institute. There isno moral obligation to ive thein moremone-. Mr. Sullivan opposed theamendment of -Mr. Boyden of Deerficldill behalf of academies.

Technology Should Be Cut Off.MIr. Barrett of Cambridge told of the

relation of his city to the Institute ofTechnology. It has some $9,Q00,000 inthe city exempt from taxation and thereare some $50,000,000 altogether in Cam-lbridge exempt as educational institu-tions and the tax rate is over $20.There are seven sectarian schools, edu-eatin- Gver seven thousand pupils, andloo further favor should be shown to theInstitute.

He believed that the resolve shouldbe passed without amendment. It istime for all racial and religious differ-ences to be laid aside, for this countryis one treat melting pot. Mr. Barrettclosed with an eloquent affirmation ofthe unity and fraternity of all peoples.

Mr. Parker of Lancaster paid a high,compliment to the speech of MIr. Cum-

.!1fngs of F'all River, but he did not ac-eept his view thattheamendmentwrouldplit an end to the Qpresent;ex;eanptioxofali educational, charitable, and religiousinstitutions from taxation. Part of thebasis of exemption is the public servicewhich these institutions render, and itis an element of lawr and of justicethat the exemption shall be continuedas long as the public service is rendered.Therefore the convention ought not tohesitate in passing the committee'samendment. Until Mr. Cumminasshould sav with full sense of his wordsthat the exemption would inevitablyend. he should vote for the committee'samendment. The people of the Com-monwrealth are animated by a highand common purpose that our institu-tions shall be preserved. The Stateought forever to be kept above religiousasperities, and the committee has wriselyacted.

AFRAID OF THEIR CONVICTIONS AGAIN?

A LTHOUGH ridding Massachusetts once and for all of theAj&~ sectarian question, the passing of the Curtis-Lomasney

amendment to the State constitution still leaves in doubt thequestion of whether or not Technology and Wirorcester PolytechnicInstitute will continue to receive the financial aid previously grantedthem by the Commonwealth. The reports in the press have con-flicted to a remarkable degree, some heralding the defeat, othersthe triumph of those delegates who sought to safeguard the State'sgood faith in its agreement with the two technical colleges.

Change after change had been suggested to the original text ofthe anti-sectarian amendment. To preserve the effectiveness of thelegislation these suggestions, which whould only have led to endlessquibbling, had to fall in the final Wrote, including the amendmentsfavorable to Technology. The Bill of Rights committee saws, howr-ever, that it was only~ justice to choose one of -the many revisions de-,signed to protect the Institute. In adopting Judge Morton's solu-tion to the Technology and Worcester Tech problem in preferenceto other provisos affording more definite protection, thle Bill ofRights committee dodged the issue.

The anti-sectarian amendment, revrised according to JudgeMorton, provides that no State aid shall be given to educational in-stitutions under private control, but that the amendment shall notabrogate any obligations previously made. This means that insteadof being specifically exempt from the effect of the revision to theconstitution, the Institute grill havre the privilege of proving in courtthat the statute passed by the Commonwealth in i9oi, granting theTInstitute a yearly subsidy of Sioo,ooo for tivrenty years, auas a con-tract. Granting that the Justice of the courts will secure the con-tinuance of this source of revenue, it would have been much simplerand more straightforward for the constitutional delegates to hastespecifically exempted the Institute and her distant sister, the W;or-cester Polytechnic Institute.

HAVE ENOUGH RIFLES TOEQUIP MEN IN FRANCE

A dispatel. from W~asllington Tules-dav savs that there is no slhortae ofrifles for the American forces sent toEurope, although there mar be somedelay in equipping all men of tile na-tional armyr withl the wveapons theyare to use in training- The force sentabroad will carry an average of at leasttw-o rifles per man as an adequate pro-tection gainst loss and wear and tear.It may be necessary for a short firne atthe national army traininig camps, hows-ever, for one company to use the avail-able trainina rifles in the morning and

other company to do its training andtar-et practice in the afternoon with thesame weapons.

This situati on wvill be of Hers shortduration, however, as an enormous sup-ply of Enfield rifles already ordered tosupplement the supply of AmericanSpringfield's wvill be deliv ered, bet in-ning- soon after the national army forcesare mobilized.

TheAmerican Enfields wvill be harder bit.tina and of Ionaer range than the Brit-ish and the ammunition more stableunder any weather conditions.
