"A careful consideration of the evidence afforded in the statement made by Bishop Ireland and Mr. Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia, shows that the new Commissioner would antagonize the Roman Catholics only by withholding government money from their schools just as he would from Protestant schools. In short, General Morgan regards the Indian schools in the light of the public schools, holding that no government money should go to any sectarian schools whatever. As this is a fair method, applied to all sectarian schools equally, we believe public sentiment will sustain General Morgan, and insist upon his confirmation in the absence of other charges well established."
