Church Control of Education

In a recent local election a Catholic priest used his official influence to defeat one of the candidates, which led the Chicago Israelite to make this comment:—
The city, state, and nation have reason to stop and think when the church commences to mix in politics. The time has come for the statesmen of the nation to emphasize the ground principle of this great American nation—the separation of church and state. It is next to suicidal to allow a marriage to take place between them.
If the Roman Catholic idea of the relation between church and state should obtain in this country, the absolute control of elections would pass into the hands of that church, and the pope would thus be able to do for America what he has already done for other countries.
