purpose Of consulting and proposing plans to
ask the authorities of the State to lcgislatc in

thereby make a demand for coal or take any
other prompt measures to create work IN the

proposes the following as the six
teenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition:
No State shall make any law re-
specting an establishment of re-
ligion, or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof; and no religious
test shall be ever required as a quail
fication to any Office or public trust
under any State. No public pro-
perty, and no public revenue of,
nor any loan of credit by or under
the authority of the United States,
or any State, Territory, district, or
municipal corporation, shall be ap-
propriated to, or made or used for,
the support of any school, educa-
tional or other institution under the
control of any religions or anti
religious sect, organization, or de-
nomination. And no such particu-
lar creed or tenets shall be read or
taught in any school or institution
supported in whole or in part by
such revenue or loan of credit ; and
no such appropriation or loan of
credit shall be made to any reli-
gious or anti-religious sect, organi-
zation, or denomination, or to pro-
mote its interests or tenets. This
article shall not be construed to
prohibit the reading of the Bible
in any school or institution, and it
shall not have the effect to impair
rights of property already vested.
SEC. 2-Congress shall have pow
er, by appropriate legislation, to
provide for the prevention and
punishment of violations of this
article.
This bill has some most excellent
features and if adopted by the
States and made a part of our con-
stitution, might put to rest a good
many speculations in regard to
church and State in our land
Some hopes would surely be blast
ed, but there is no doubt that the
interests of the country demand
something similar to this as n part
Of our constitution. One thing in
this country where majorities rule,
is very certain, and that is, no
money can ever be appropriated
for soctarian schools, and this bill
if submitted, would afford an op-
portunity for the States to record
their verdict on that point.
Recently the Board of Educa-
ton Of New Haven passed reso-
luton aholishing religious services
in the public schools. Petitions
supporting and opposing their ac-
zion have been extensively signed.
The petitions favoring the action
of the Board received some 1000
signatures, with very few promin-
ent names attached, while the pc
titions opposing their action re-
ceived 5000 signatures and among
them a large number of names of
all classes. 1t has also this pecu-
feature that it was signed, not only
by protestants of all denomina-
tions, but also by Catholics, Jews
and people of no religious faith
whatever.
